i get people don’t like to pay for things that were once free. but paying people fairly and making a survivable living while making cool things is HARD. even with ads. i think what the fellows are cooking up will be well worth it tbh!!!

sara, it’s not that people don’t want to pay for things that were once free, is that some people don’t have 6 dollars to spare, especially with the cost of living crisis.

i am not from the usa, due to currency conversion 6 dollars would be approximately 3% of my monthly salary. also steven saying “for those of you who want to continue watching (we all want to continue watching, we just can’t) rubbed me off the wrong way.

yes everyone should be fairly compensated and if youtube is not enough there are other ways to earn money than putting all your content behind a paywall. but apart from that what angers and disappointed me the most was just how insensitive and ignorant all of the replies made about people not paying to watch/ agreeing with the price have been answered, especially when you all live comfortably in one of the most expensive cities in the world. it also shows a lack of knowledge of your audience since most fans of watcher/ ex fans of buzzfeed unsolved are teenagers, college students or young adults.

i spent THIRTEEN YEARS waiting for an age accurate casting of percy jackson but now that it's here and i am no longer a child looking at heroes my age, i'm just plain HORRIFIED on behalf of these children.

the duality of reading percy jackson and thinking “omg a quest?!?!? instead of having to sit through math class!?!?” vs 22 year old me thinking that those kids should be in math class rather than in a killer quest across the united states

uni has been stressing me out and i still have two term papers due BUT i’m gonna take time off today to read the love hypothesis because you gotta support the published reylos where you can!

i’ve read this book twice during exam week with that same mentality and tbh i have no regrets. one of my best reads this year 5/5

friends to lovers never had a bad track. “scared i’ll ruin what we have” SLAPS. “friendship cuddles while secretly dying inside” BANGER. “teasing each other and holding eye contact for a little too long” KILLS ME. and don’t even get me STARTED on “screaming i love you in the middle of a heated argument.”

NICE.

+ pairings: eren yeager + (fem) reader

+ genres: rich kid au, college au, friends to lovers au, fluff, light-ish angst, smut/nsfw content (everybody gets a piece)!

+ warnings: mentions of depression/anxiety, mentions and use of drugs and alcohol, some of the smut happens under the influence so be cautious if that’s something you don’t like, i swear this is all more idiots in love than angst tho i just wanna disclose everything fairly

+ notes: this is alternatively titled super rich kids and you can probably figure out why. some of this is based off of real life, some of it is straight out of gossip girl and i challenge you to separate the facts from the fiction :’) anyways, i hope we all remember the lyrics to in my feelings

+ more notes: one quick reference for ages in this fic—all the vets are older but not by that much, think various stages of grad school. armin, connie, sasha, annie, and bertholdt are all college sophomores. eren, the reader, and pretty much everybody else are college seniors, so they’re about a year or two older. also here is a playlist for your reading pleasures, shoutout to ryn for letting me mooch of their spotify account :’)

+ word count: 19k. i’m sorry.

+ summary: fuck you, fuck you, you’re cool, fuck you.; or the story of notorious rich kid and self-proclaimed bad boy eren yeager, and his not so goody two-shoes best friend.

“So you’re saying that you don’t love me? That you’re not riding? That you’ll actually leave from beside me?”

“I’m saying that it’s ass o’clock in the morning and I’m not driving in the rain to Brooklyn to pick your sorry ass up.”

“But… but I want you, and I need you, and I’m down for you.”

You check the time on your phone screen and groan. 3:57am. Far too early to be dealing with the likes of Eren Jaeger. “Just get an Uber or something. I don’t know what you and your idiot friends were up to this time, but I don’t want any part of it.”

“First, they’re our idiot friends. Second, I don’t think they let you take Ubers from jail, and even if they did, it’s, like, four in the morning, so I don’t think there are any Ubers driving around, so could you pretty please come pick me up? I promise I’ll make it up to—”

“From where?” you cut him off, slowly sitting upright in your bed. You hold your phone closer to your ear, ready to listen again; because, certainly, you must have misheard him the first time. You wait, but the line is silent, save for Eren’s awkward chuckling. “Eren Asher Jaeger, tell me that that was another stupid lyric from that stupid song, and that you are not in prison right now.”

Eren makes a sad attempt at laughing. “Technically, it’s a holding cell, not really prison… and I would leave, but they suspended my license for a month, and Min can’t drive yet, so we kind of need you,” he explains, “Uh, no pun intended.”

Oh my god, this is beautiful

Thought I did not care about yoi anymore but turns out my emotions were just dormant and I feel like I've been flung back to 2016

Me: I’m pretty much over Yuri on Ice. It’s a great show, but I don’t get as excited about it as I used to.

*Tiny trailer for Ice Adolescence drops*

Me: Well, I guess it’s time to drop everything and spend two days rewatching this series that i love so much

two days to rewatch it? it took me less than a day!

(btw, i’m failing my final because of yoi, but it would’ve been worth it)

edit: i passed my final!
