People do not realize how expensive animation is. There is a lot of people needed to make shows/movies and everyone needs to be paid. You make more working a job that pays $7.25/hour than in indie (side note oh my god they never did raise that holy shit no one can live off that). It's incredibly rare to get an indie job that pays well because the small studio making it or the person funding it need a lot of money upfront. I know some people who run indie studios, and it's been getting harder and harder to find jobs that allows them to pay their crew properly. Some fund projects by working overtime at their day job and using what money they have to pay people instead of spending it on themselves. It's not good.

#animation #indie animation #people need to eat and pay bills #i can't really talk about other countries beside the US cuz...I live in the US #the cost of living here has gotten very expensive #and animation is a full time job #it takes a LOT of time and manpower #hard to do on the side without wearing yourself out

Also why did July become of the most busiest, hottest and most expensive month of my life

I need August to become boring as shit. No more shit happening to me, no more emergencies, no weddings, no birthdays, no health scares, no more heatwave, no more social obligations, no nothing I just want to stay home, make stickers for my life blood aka patreons and write fanfiction in an air-conditioned space PLEASE

#due to multiple things i had to take a large chunk out of savings and there were several social obligations and i am so tired #there were like planned expenses like bills and the $400 monty pin order which im excited for #and then sudden stuff like an emergency health and family thing and friend could not pay for something so $300ish that way #which is FINE im alright and thats what savings are for and i can always rebuild it #but its also like IM TIRED!!! I WANNA STAY HOME #I DIDNT GET TO DO NEARLY AS MANY ARTFIGHTS AS I DID LAST YEAR #also the heat killing my health but like thats kinda universal rn kdlghlsgds #ON THE UP SIDE #MONTY PINS ARE COMING i am so excited im biting the drywall #its not so much as a vent post as just a bitching post btw im happy this month is ending #actaully theres a lot i wanna talk about let me boot up a stream #sara shush

one thing I have learned about being poor is that you cannot for a moment stop thinking about it

#theres no peace #every little thing reminds me we are poor #seeing friends having electricity wifi heat food gas. it all costs money. and bills and fees and charges happen all the damn time #im constantly worried that i am measing up somehow or im not keeping track of my finances properly #the person handling our disability assistance application keeps coming back with question after question about my job #and i have so much doubt and fear that ive made some mistake in my answers that will disqualify us from support #and theres this sick backwards stupid thing where applying for and being on disability support is discouraging me from trying to make money #because the more i make the less likely we'll get support but i need to make money to live #its just fucked. and once we're on support i have to make monthly reports of my income so ill feel like im explaining myself all the fuckin #time #cus the system isnt built in a way that makes sense for self employed ppl who have business expenses to account for #sorry for the ranting i cant sleep #truly truly i think poverty is making me a worse persin #more anxious more resentful more jealous more miserable more spiteful #i have so little and there is so little i can do to help it #i want things in a more desparate and even childish way than i used to eant things #spend a lot more time fantasizing about magically having expendable income #not to mention the constant exponential guilt that comes from asking for help or recieving help. its guilt i need to unlearn but i feel it

Best wishes during this tax season to Ray Molina, who is staring at his computer and trying to figure out if there's a way he can claim all 6 of his kids as dependents, even though 4 of them aren't alive.

#legolas tag #julie and the phantoms #jatp #ray molina #look having that many kids is gonna drive expenses up #even if you don't have to worry about food #there's still the water and power bills #plus clothes and all that jazz #and he's been at least TRYING to get Luke and Alex and Reggie the materials to finish their high school education #even if they can't officially take the GED exams #cause it's important! #but also he doesn't really want the IRS poking around their situation...

i know i say that atsushi likes to spend his extra cash on kyouka but i also dont think kyouka lives there for "free" like she could, atsushi wouldn't mind, but i feel like it makes more sense for her to contribute since its not like atsushi's rolling in cash

maybe atsushi wouald be hesitant at a 50-50 thing becuz she's so little and he cares so much about her but i dont believe its 0-100 ya know?

#like i feel like in fics there'll be throw away lines the author probably didnt over think about atsushi deciding not to eat becuz he spent #his last change on kyouka #i think kyouka would pull a 36th before she let her brother go hungry even for a moment if she had the money #which i mean she works a job so she probably gets paid #i feel like their financial burden is becuz they don't have anything ya know #like its different spending ur money on bills and food and shit vs having to buy furniture and get new things #like do u guys know how expensive a fucking mattress is #insane #what else #oh right its not becuz she would just let him spend all his money on her and be broke #and suffer #anyway i need u guys to put respect on kyouka's name and kyouka and atsushi's relationship

Hello hello everybody! It is time for another months progress, and I am so excited to share with you, all the things I have gotten my grimy little gremlin hands on. First off, what we are all here for; writing. I have been on fire, to be honest! Last month I churned through the last of the first batch of erotica stories (there's 6 (!!!) of them on my patreon already) and set them up for publishing along with two more unseen ones- I'm still going over the logistics of where to publish for the best revenue (I know this sounds boring, but I have to make an income somehow, and hopefully find another audience as a smut writer on other platforms 💀 I love writing it so why not!), and I am making headway, learning the ins and outs of self publishing. On patreon, there are also two Q&A's that are written in a bit more fictional manner, in character: a more fun way than just writing answers straight up and down. I have enjoyed those so much! There's a bunch of other stuff I haven't even mentioned- honestly, I have to say, I'm really proud of my output on Patreon even though I have been really anxious about writing full time. It's going great! I have to thank my new friends and support-network on discord; you make this all worth it. I cannot express how fun it is to shoot the shit with you in vc, gaming together, or seeing your shenanigans in gen or your in depth theories (thanks for the brainworms!) or memes or staring longingly at the fanfic channel or drooling over your art (ouro related or not) or... Gah. You are just amazing people, and I will waste no opportunity in saying so. Thank you forever and ever and ever an-

When it comes to OUROBOROS, I am happy to announce that the next chapter is damn near done! I was halted because of the discovery that dashingdon is no longer supported by it's creator, and have been working on the twine version ever since, earlier than I expected- it's tough work, but I am so excited to make this an actual game made entirely by myself, and not submitting to a company that quite frankly leaves a bitter aftertaste. It is taking long to make because I want to make it mobile compatible from the start, which there isn't a lot of resources for. But I'm doing my best! The plan is that I will be posting the next chapter for Patreons in the coming month, and then treat you to a full twine release here on tumblr. I haven't made any rewrites when porting the twine build, but I would like to do that too... so we will see; this plan is not set in stone. I will just have to see how it evolves over the next month. Yes, beta-readers is still on the schedule, just holding off a little while while I wrap my head around this new coding landscape.

Other than that, I have been working on the set aesthetic for ouro, which has been really hard, a lot harder than I expected. You all know I am no wizard when it comes to graphic design, but I want to at least develop a set palette and imagery and portraits that is cohesive to the story. The work is ongoing, and I don't have much to say about it- even though it is taking a lot of my brain power. I'm hoping I can come to some kind of set and in depth conclusion that I am happy with before the twine release, because I want the game to feel like a treat to open up and play; a world to get lost in.

That's it! If you want to see weekly and more in depth dev-logs, you know where to go. I hope you have an amazing day or night, and we will see each other soon. xx

It's all "Kids Need To Be Back In School!!" until city schools are so underfunded that multiple schools have to close for multiple days because there's no air condition and it's still hot out, or in winter there's no heat (while the former governor and centrist darling uses state funds to install a heated driveway at the governor's mansion)

#baltimore #us education #larry hogan #this happened every fucking year before covid and now that kids are back in school it's happening again #it's pretty damn obvious that parents wanted kids back in school not for the kids' mental health #but to get the kids 'out of their hair' #how's that working for you now #(i should be charitable and acknowledge that lower income families couldn't afford childcare and hold down a job #but like. medical bills are expensive if i a kid catches covid or brings it home)

[itsscottiesstark]

Excuse me but- this shot?????

These few seconds after the kiss???

After Aziraphale actually held Crowley close for a split second?????

Where Crowley was barely holding on to that last sliver of hope???????

Waiting for Aziraphale to finally admit that he wants this??????

Unbelievable.

I didn't mean to post this on April Fool's, but I can promise it's not a joke, unfortunately.

Since I graduated in December, I've been unable to find a job - either getting rejections or no reply whatsoever, and where I live currently isn't the most productive area with opportunities. Thankfully, up until now, I've had savings and a minor freelance gig to help take care of bills and my pets, but any money I had put back is about gone. It's frustrating and embarrassing, but I'm unsure how to make ends meet from here on out until I can find a job.

I've fought with myself to even ask this, especially since my writing has been so slow-going due to job hunting and I don't have much to offer, but I know I don't have much else to lose at the moment while I keep doing applications.

I'd be glad to write ficlets, poetry, or anything similar for a Ko-Fi, pay what you'd like or can. My writing tag is here, but I can discuss any fandoms or interests via DMs. Also, please, I know times are tough and money is tight for everyone, so don't feel bad if you can't do anything. Thank you if you read this far, too - sorry to break up the boop-fest with this.

#Satari rambles #Between bills and medical expenses and car and housing troubles it's been rough but I'm trying to keep my head up #I'm sorry that I even have to ask on here but I'm unsure of what else to do at the moment #If anyone has other suggestions I'd be happy to hear #Hope you all are doing well though #Rooting for you all as always

#but I’m glad it’s not super expensive though #cherry’s asks 🍒 #I’ll tear Cheesecake Factory and Books A Million up #but imma cry when them bills come lmfaodjdh
