Minerva P Kelley

FAQ

Are you the person in the shipping videos? - Yes.

Are you the person who did When Posting Goes Wrong (bone stealing witch, ms. scribe, HIV Hamilton)? - Yes.

Are you still making videos? - No, I gave up making videos to focus on my irl career. I may return to it some day but for now I'm just a shitposter.

Should I call you Eldena or Doubleca5t or Ms. Ca5t or do you have a real name or what? I accept any and all variations on my username. You can also just call me Minerva.

Why is the HIVLiving video gone? One of the "main characters" so to speak, of the HIV Living saga started drama with a friend of mine and tried to rope me into it. I did not want to side with them in the drama, but I also did not want to profit from their story if I was on bad terms with them, so I took the video down. Additionally, a lot of that video was heavily speculative and I have reason to believe that a lot of my speculation was very, very wrong. Would rather move past the whole thing than try to salvage it.

What are your pronouns? - she/her

Are you LGBT? - I’m a trans lesbian (NOTE: I came out in December 2020 so if you’re reading my old posts or watching my old videos they will not reflect this)

Are you single? - I'm engaged 💞

Who's the lucky lady? - their name is Frenzy, pronouns she/they. They're an artist. You can find them on tumblr and twitter. Follow them if you like clowns, sexy demon women, sexy demon clowns, homestuck (derogatory), or if you want to see some silly comics about our domestic life.

What is your day job? - I work in home insurance.

Should I watch RWBY? - Probably not. RWBY is a weird, wonky show that is very much hit or miss. However, if you're really into femslash, and especially if you're into femslash and like action anime, I would recommend giving it a shot with the knowledge that it gets better in Volume 2 and gets a LOT better in Volume 3.

Am I trans/an egg? - I cannot answer this question for you. My only recommendation is that if you're having some Gender Emotions and think you might be trans, play around with a new name and/or pronouns in limited situations or try out a different gender presentation in terms of clothes or hair.

Where are you from? - I am PEAK Dumb American. I was born and raised in the US, I only speak English and I’ve never left the country. I currently live in Los Angeles, though I grew up and went to school elsewhere.

How do you pronounce your URL? - the 5 is supposed to be an S, so it’s pronounced as “Double Cast”. I originally wanted “doublecast” or “d0ublecast” but those were taken.

What does your URL/Your username on other sites mean? - My username is a reference to the unlockable hidden character Eldena and the Red Mage ability Doublecast from my favorite game, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance.

What's your hair routine? - Right here

Can I draw fanart of you? - Yes, but you are NOT allowed to send it to me or tag me in it

Do you answer all your asks? - No. I receive an ungodly amount of asks and delete a good 70% of them.

How do you tag your stuff? - I use the following tags:

#doubleca5t OC = my original content

#Red Mage Lookbook = selfies

#gf art 🥺 = Frenzy's art <3

#qualität scheißepfosten = faves tag (humor)

#that’s some good shit = faves tag (fan art)

#this image causes me physical pain = cringe tag

#jesus christ = posts that made me say “jesus christ” out loud (because laugh tags are overrated)

#frenzy shop = advertisements for Frenzy's Etsy, which you can find here

Other than that, everything SHOULD be tagged correctly by fandom/character/ship.

EXACTLY!! I gotta say I'm glad to see so many people with experience working with animals backing me up on this like I'm glad I'm not crazy for thinking that dogs shouldn't be out and about everywhere

Just reblogged it again

Oh I am well aware.... it's a tantalizing prospect but I simply am not built for it

You definitely would not be better off without home insurance b/c if your house burns down you would have to pay for the entire thing out of pocket and that would be very much Not Fun.

As for the difference in claims process between PersAuto and Home, I think it has to do with the business model of contractors vs auto shops. Mechanics make the bulk of their money off repairs, so having an insurance company recommend you to their customers in exchange for a discount can give you a huge boost in sales even if it cuts into your margins for individual repairs a bit. Contractors on the other hand make a huge % of their money off remodels, rebuilds, new construction, and other projects where an insurance company isn't involved. They have way less incentive to give a discount in exchange for extra business because their business model gives them a consistent source of revenue regardless of an insurance carrier's recommendation.

Same thing applies to vets with pet insurance - vets make way more money off a sick pet than a routine check-up, so they have a big incentive to get a recommendation from an insurance company.

I think some carriers might offer a specialty coverage for something like this but most home policies will not cover that. This is because a "loss" in insurance terminology must be sudden and accidental. In general, insurance companies do not want to cover wear and tear to the structure because it does not fit that definition and would discourage people from taking proper care of their property (i.e. why bother spending a bunch of money on building upgrades and maintenance when your policy will just pay for anything that breaks regardless). Because pest infestations represent gradual damage to the structure over a long period of time as opposed to a sudden loss, insurance policies will usually have a specific exclusion form for this kind of damage.

NOT THE KANINE HIT AND RUN????
