#but a very expensive party

[ghostjelliess]

We've been so many people together, I don't know which version to display at The Event.

#wedding planning #its been twelve years #it's just a party #but a very expensive party #and weve never really been the party type for long #we'll stop by to dance if there's good music #but were over here like two hummingbirds picking out a feeder: any will work #we wont sit at it long anyway #but there are real flowers we'd rather spend that money on tasting #but the truth of it is that we moved away from our families for good reasons as soon as we graduated college a decade ago and #i think all six of our parents want the validation of our wedding so they can happily continue to repress all the rightful reasons we left #why would we give them that when all we wanted for ourselves was peace and freedom that others dont have to ask for or run away to find #neither of us know who we're validating anymore so we're probably going to plan an elopement instead #we promised them a wedding but we didnt promise theyd be there and one of them refused to come anyway #i liked making them come to me for once after ten Christmases of flying back home #but now im just... I've been cut loose like a fraying thread and I've never been happier or more content. #there is no conclusion yet #there's just the feeling of apathy and rage #its brave of us to want to get married after them in the first place #this all started because picking out aesthetics was hard lol #i guess its time for another talk about how we want to be married but its annoyingly hard for two neurodivergent brains #we love to dance but not in the middle #we can do paperwork but the rounds of chores required makes us both pause #okay #im done now #this was cathartic

kyokao future costume party/cosplay headcanons

#sorry i just think this group of friends would continue having costume parties through their 20s.. and i was rereading scott pilgrim.. #personal opinion - both have fun with drag I absolutely based Kyoya’s look on the super nanny… #i think they alternate who gets to pick… all very expensive costumes (they’re cheap when they rent them for club but these stay lol) #ouran #ohshc #kyokao #kyoya ootori #kaoru hitachiin #my art

Obligatory fancier outfit that must be present anytime I post outfits 

#self #fantasy costume #If I had the money for a custom tailored fantasy-ish victorian-ish suit instead of piecing together random thrift store items with like walm #rt halloween costume type jackets and stuff.. #unstoppable..... #I would actually lean more straight up historical with my wardrobe it's just that everything I own basically is thrifted aside from a very #small portion of things (like usually socks for example I get from ebay. wigs from ebay. things that it's hard to find in thrift stores. etc #) and I rarely ever find stuff like that at the bins. Your closest bet is like. hopeing that the week you come in just so happens to also be #a week that a church costume department recently donated a bunch of old stuff. but I just haven't really had much luck finding like fancy ve #sts and suit coats and cloaks or like tunics and etc. etc. #Styles like mori kei or cult party kei are pretty accessible and easy for places like the bins (where youre usually digging through piles of #curtains and fabric scraps and doilies anyway). but finding like.. a straight up tudor england costume or something is . VERY rare #Sometimes you do find halloween costumes. Or like. stuff that's clearly like cheap 'Goth' stuff from shein or aliexpress that someone has do #nated and they can be a LITTLE okay in terms of usable for costumes. But you rarely find actual good quality stuff. obviously because like #real very good quality historical costumes are expensive and most people aren't just like 'yeah dump it off to goodwill' lol #In an ideal world though I would have fancy top hats and neck ruffles and stuff .. know this ghhjbhj #Lack of that will not stop me from taking picturesin basically the same outfit 6000 times though. My one single silky black vest and #one of the two solitary ruffly neck shirts I have every been able to find. #Pointy-ish little boots that I put with everything even thogugh they look terrible up close because they're literally like over 10 yrs old #I bought them so long ago and the black fake leather lining is like peeling off of the outside #ANYWAY #he's back again... the same little generic like elf vampire ruffle shirt with vest look.. might as well be the same guy #I support him and his dumbass disintegrating shoes anyway

At the start of this year I had a pink party so horrendous it genuinely became a multi-session conversation with my therapist.

This weekend, I did a pink party so genuinely full of love and happiness, it completely un-tainted the awesomeness of pink parties for me

Anyway I like being an entertainer, for every nightmare gig I do like, 200 amazing ones.

#urchin art #entertainer #princess #pink parties #so a pink party is a very specific 'type' of party #pink parties are extremely expensive displays of wealth for princess girls and mothers living through their kids and dads buying love #OR #it's all the above but with a NOT toxic family unit! #and you never know what you'll get #but you will absolutely see a cake that costs six days salary for the average fella #like no lie the cake for the recent gig was just a wedding cake #five tier white princess cake in central london #it must have been like #400-600 quid

life would be so much easier if i made 20k a month

#i'm organising my best friend's bday party and we're going for a fun theme here but everything is expensive 😭 #and i can't push my vision without the money #and i can't even spend much because i'll be traveling at the end of the month #sigh #i hate everything #if anyone wants to drop 20k on my bank account i'll be very happy

serving quiche to my enemies at a dinner party, as a flex

#im not having a dinner party but i am making quiche #bc i did zero baking over christmas when i expected to be doing a lot of baking #eggs are expensive rn bc it’s winter so a lot of local flocks aren’t producing #and bc of the bird flu which has wiped out a number of big commercial flocks #evil lair llc #had to scroll back a year through tuesdayposts to find the quiche recipe i used #this specific quiche will be a very tasty but absolutely horrific looking tragedy #bc i am making it in the bottom of a big glass mixing bowl bc i have no pie tins #and bc i overfilled it

Growing up on Tumblr I always thought puppy play was like the WORST kink to have (like that was how I thought people viewed it)

But like as an adult I don't get it. I met's pretty harmless. Like yeah, the argument that you don't want to see guys on leashes might seem like a pup play thing but that's more just exhibitionism. That's the kink they have for y'know being seen by people. That's the one people have issue with. But the dog parts? Yeah you can find it weird but like it's not harmful to you. But also with how people treat dogs like you can see why someone would want to go brainless for a few hours n get pet all over n be called a good boy

#anyways hi #id also like to add that theres like #a branch of pup play thats just furry lite #like this especially applies to the branch that is just pure partying #pup play is about being TREATED like youre someones dog #so obedience n loyalty n happiness n cuddliness #like people like that i think only wear pup hoods bc it looks like a fursuit lite #its not nearly as expensive n its not warm #like that being the furry lite thing #i think thats just being a furry #but yeah i do think that #while they can overlap #pup play n furries r different #i had a pup friend in college n he was a furry #n he like deadass just showed me a pic of a dude with abs with the head of a fursuit #n he was like “how do you not find it hot” #n i was like “well im not gonna say this but its cuz a. the only thing hot is his abs n b. he looks like he decapitated chuck e cheese” #i think pup hoods are cute #i like leather n i like think it fits very well with other leather gear #i will literally never see fur suits as anything other than neon mascot costumes #which is fine if thats what youre into #but thats just how i see it

#so I have officially been to a club/bar now #tag talk #it was a country bar which was actually cool cause they played like. actual old country none of the post-9/11 shit #except everything else about it was ugh awful. music too loud drinks FUCKING EXPENSIVE holy shit stay home and drink instead pleaseeee #it was a work thing but none of my coworkers I'm friends with actually knew what they were doing so while I wasn't actual awkward they were #and the thing about social interaction is that if no one knows what they're doing it's not very fun #I grabbed someone and started a pool game because the table was open and both of us were absolute garbage at the game #but I was laughing about it and they were like... apologetic about being bad?? d #I did have the classic experience though where your friends disappear and you end up alone because you don't know where they went #all in all an interesting experience but not one I'm eager to repeat. #I did get invited to someone's Christmas Eve Party though which is cool and they gave me their number to make sure I have the info #so probably worth going just for that I think. got their phone number so we can communicate so that's like. successful social connection. #we're already friendly at work but easier to talk to someone when you're both not busy on the opposite side of the store with customers #anyway. who tf out going to clubs. awful environment. #I was like.. twenty percent of the way to being comfortable going out and dancing but hard to just swallow your hesitation #and a) alcohol as liquid courage is hmm not ideal and b) it was expensive anyway #oh well. it'll take more time to come out of my shell and I'd literally never been to a bar/club before in my life. #so I'll have some patience with myself and not be annoyed with how I could have done better or been more confident. #literally totally new environment. also... country music was nice but not a group of people I could really be comfortable around yaknow? #Lotta old white straight couples dancing the country two-step so I didn't really feel like I fit in. #anyway. interesting experience. neat to have. if I ever have a reason to go to a bar again I'll know more about what to expect #also... no one carded me. no one asked for ID? aren't they supposed to #oh wait. comment about the yodeling cause it was actual old country but they didn't do the voice register changes for it #I was like WAIT ARE THEY GONNA YODEL FOR REAL??? but then he didn't he just jumped intervals without shifting voice. #was a little disappointing but maybe a lot to expect from a random stage show at a bar. #wait wait I'm also proud of myself because the bartender asked open or closed and my mind scrambled for half a second to figure it out #but then I realized it meant open tab or closed tab like ordering more drinks and then paying at the end and so obviously closed #cause I ain't buying more than the one drink holy fuck it was so expensive also they mix them way stronger than I like #I like my drink weak ass and pathetic. alcohol is like spice I like a little to taste but not a lot. complimentary not overpowering #I drank it and then remembered I never ate lunch so I was like fuck and immediately went and ate something (work party so free food)

[violetclarity]

my life rn is really like, tomorrow would I rather drive 2 hours round trip without a speedometer or make it a 4 hour round trip journey by taking various trains?

#what I'd really like is to not do either of them and stay home under a blanket but it is a friend's birthday party #and I am bringing the dessert. so. #(I'm worried I've fucked up the dessert but that's a separate problem) #pros of driving: won't take double the length of time; I'll get home earlier than 9pm #cons of driving: cannot see the speed I am going or how much gas I have left after long trip #it's actually easier to drive without a speedometer on the highway though sooo that's something? #(I know this sounds very unsafe and I probably shouldn't say I've been doing it most of this week but I have) #(also bc it's a weekend the train schedule is annoying and more difficult/less frequent) #everything is stressful and bad rn including the fact that my car needs a very expensive part replaced #but the immediate problem is how I'm going to get to this birthday party so I guess I'm going to worry about that!

[thebluehoursofmorning]

Does anyone have any tips on talking to Airbnb hosts about having a bachelorette party at their house? Everything is saying 'no events or parties' but I cannot stress enough to the host that we are not intending on drinking heavily or going crazy!

#like do i say we are staid catholic women... half of whom are married with kids? #blue talks #airbnb #the internet isn't being very helpful... all i found is this thread of hosts talking about bach parties #and some are like 'it'll be fine as long as expectations are clearly communicated' #but others are like 'don't do it these sorts of parties always end up wild!!!' #UGH #i've written a message to send to hosts but then i'm like... how much do i want to say. do i want to be like 'we won't have anyone else #'come over' but then surprise surprise baby will refuse to sleep without me and husband is forced to bring her over or smth idk idk #(she's never spent a full night without me) #(so i'm not sure that would go down well at all) #also a hotel would be crazy expensive

[tabellae-rex-in-sui]

...I think I need to see the letters you mentioned in last post

The "enema" letter:

Une fille pucelle ou non pucelle! Vraiment c'est bien là ce qu'il me faut! J'ai besoin de fourrure en été, et non de fille. Il me faut un bon lit, mais pour moi tout seul, une seringue, et le roi de Prusse.

— 17 March 1749, V to Fritz [x]

I ramble about it some more in the tags of this post lol

The "hot bath" letter:

Souffrez donc, mon adorable monarque, que l'âme qui est si mal à son aise dans ce chétif corps ne se mette point en chemin, dans l'incertitude de trouver V. M. Si elle est pour quelques semaines à Berlin, j'y vole; si elle court toujours, et si, du fond de la Silésie, elle va à Aix-la-Chapelle, j'irai l'y attendre dans un bain chaud, qui le sera moins que votre imagination.

—13 July 1743, V to Fritz [x]

The "Greek affairs" letter:

Where V tells Fritz he's disinterested in Greek Affairs and just came to Prussia for him.

Mais quand, chez le gros Valori,

Je vois le tendre Algarotti

Presser d’une vive embrassade

Le beau Lugeac, son jeune ami,

Je crois voir Socrate affermi

Sur la croupe d’Alcibiade ;

Non pas ce Socrate entêté.

De sophismes faisant parade,

À l’œil sombre, au nez épaté,

À front large, à mine enfumée ;

Mais Socrate Vénitien,

Aux grands yeux, au nez aquilin

Du bon saint Charles Borromée.

Pour moi, très-désintéressé

Dans ces affaires de la Grèce,

Pour Frédéric seul empressé,

Je quittais étude et maîtresse ;

Je m’en étais débarrassé ;

Si je volai dans son empire,

Ce fut au doux son de sa lyre ;

Mais la trompette m’a chassé.

— 15 December 1740, V to Fritz [x]

#like..... #what is the POINT zozo?? #'all i need is a bed for myself alone; a syringe; and the king of prussia' #how the FUCK is Fritz supposed to interpret that #and the greek affairs poem djdnsjsks #that was written right after V left Prussia after an extended visit during his birthday #According to Frederick; V was very expensive to host #& they danced; ate; gambled & ''tickle our ears with a harmony full of softness and which; inciting love; gives rise to other tickles'' #<- the party's activities according to Fritz #then V sends this poem; confirming the very... Greek vibe of the party & feeling it necessary to tell Fritz he isn't interested in all that #dnjdjdnsnsns #idk what went on at that party #oh and the hot bath letter #V... he just writes like this #all the overtly homoerotic double entendres in his letter to Fritz then publicly making fun of Fritz for being gay #its... his brain in broken #this man is a menace #ask #edgysaintjust

Literally cannot comprehend that some people just... go places.. I know someone who just got back from a 2 week vacation and then the day they came home they went out to eat at a restaurant (at a busy time mind you, like 7pm on a saturday night!!) and then went to a mall to shop and then woke up early for brunch the next day and were at a bar in the afternoon and so on and so on and it’s like... god don’t you get tired of being places? If I go grocery shopping for 20 minutes on monday and then have a doctor appointment on tuesday, I am SO tired of leaving the house that I want to do nothing for the next two weeks lol...  Doing multiple major tasks/trips in one day and ENJOYING it and SEEEKING IT OUT is utterly inconceivable to me..  we are different creatures entirely lol

#not even regarding how irresponsible it is to be constantly doing stuff during the pandemic and etc. etc. like EVEN before the pandemic #I felt this way exactly the same. I just do not understand the human compulsion to be Doing Things (tm). And it's not that I don't enjoy #SOME things #like very hyperspecific things in controlled environments scheduled 10 days ahead of time and intricately planned lmao #but like there is some stuff I enjoy so it's not like I just hate everything but it's just... ghghhhhhhhhhh #like what are you running away from something? is it unberable for you to be alone with yourself so you have to be like #constanly up and out and finding new sensory shit to throw yourself into or like??? #I am legitimately not exaggerating comepltely 100% fine not leaving my house for months at a time (aside from going on walks to get excercis #e just around the block/still within the neightbohood and occasional necessary grocery trips to stock up on food obviiously) #I simply do not posess the impulse to go out to restaurants or bars or go to clubs and dance or go to parties or concerts #OR even travel like...?? idk I guess it's not terrible but in the past when I have traveled I've found that the only things #I could name that I enjoyed about the experience were like.. I like being on hotels because you get free breakfast sometimes and they have #TV and air conditioning and better beds than I do at home. I like people watching from my room windows. I like being in airports because #of the way they;re designed and I like to pearch somewhere and watch people and watch clouds and planes taking off. #I enjoy being on airplanes because the windows feel cold and you can look at clouds and sometimes have gingerale. #but I dont enjoy the traveling or going places itself. I'd rather be at home working on my hyper-specific interest hobbies lol #legit not joking at al if I won tickets to like an all expenses paid super luxury tropical getaway I would sell them and use the money to #buy craft supplies. I would get 10000x more personal fulfilment and joy being able to work on a new project or having the money to pay off #bills or buy better groceries or get an apartment with a better bathroom or something like that than I would having the one time #experience of like wow I looked at a cool beach and some sunsets and ate at restaurants a lot #And maybe the thing is like. I don't value experiences? I value resource security and pratical progress at things #and not in a like workaholic capitalist way but just in a like.. I value more what's going to make me happy in the LONG run than temporary #expeirences that are somehow supposed to mean something to me in the moment (yet I usually derive no pleasure or meaning from at all) #Like I would rather use money to invest in my niche hobbies or crafts or personal improvement or getting a more comfortable #bed or better shoes for my foot pain or etc. etc. than I would spending the money to go out to a resuarant or travel or etc. #ALSO again like.. in addition to it simply not seeming worth it because my brain rarely is able to conceptualize the value of those sorts of #experiences.. it's also just SO tiring to do things! Even a grocery store trip can be overwhelming with sensory stuff and social things #and etc. etc. and I just realize like.. all the things people have told me are Fun are not Fun for me. I grew up and realized you actually #have no obligation to do things. I found out you can spend your birthday at home alone eating a waffle and playing your favorite video game #and I have never went anywhere or done an activity on my bday since lmao.. 'Doing Things' is just hard for me to grasp still really lol

feels very strange to get podcast ads about how pride friendly orlando is rn what with the current political conditions of florida for very large swathes of the queer community

i mean i dont have any suggestions for like idk the marketing team of the orlando tourism board to do any better like i certainly wouldnt know how to advertise rn, thats a rough hand youre stuck with and i hope your shit ass transphobe fascist politicians drop dead.

just. wild to hear rn

#toy txt post #and like maybe it is a pride friendly area within florida but like the fact that im getting advertised it from a very different state #its just Feels Very Weird. its like the same energy as when companies started having normal ads again about having like #holiday gatherings and football parties in like 2021/2022? like no actually the unprecedented times are still upon us. your pandemic ads #were insufferable for sure like they felt very weird and stupid and patornizing and but you have somehow managed to Make It Worse #thats kinda how it feels like the same vibe. it was one thing before it was pride month and it was just like casually trying to convince me #to come to universal and disney but now its june so theyre talking about their Gay Days #and like it would almost certainly be very weird and uncomfortable if it was like listen we acknowledge the current guy we have #is going like full blown fascist with an intent on genociding queer and particularly trans ppl but like listen we installed this new ride #and we'd really like for it to pay for itself with ticket sales or whatever. idk just feels weird. i dont know if i have a suggestion for #the advertising board of tourism in orlando to do differently like i dont have a suggestion for them except to maybe get that fucker out of #office. and it probably feels less weird if ur like In The State or in another state with similar horrifying shit #its probably like well whatever and thats fair. i mean its not fair i hope all your transphobic fascist ass politicians drop dead and that #yall will be safe #anyway. just. very weird. anyway idk. @mouse if you kill desantis with no mercy just fucking destroy his ass #ill forgive u a little bit and consider hitting up your extremely expensive theme park if i have the funds. universal if u pitch in on #destorying that bastard ill consider visiting you again too. again if i have the funds. i wont go to the terf wizard section but i do want #to see the new hulk track 🥺 #ppl of florida especially marginalized ppl of florida. you deserve so much fucking better than you got im so sorry #floridian govt makes me so mad for like the regular human reasons of. they suck for a lot of fucking people and also the very important and #unique ecosystems yall have down there but also for the personal selfish reasons of. florida seems like Really Cool if it didnt have #like #the fascists. and gun culture. id love the climate. well. on the Atlantic side. gulf too warm for me personally. so many creatures down #there. cool places and you got those Very themey theme parks and listen i would like disney to have less power ( #(AFTER THEY DISEMBOWEL DESANTIS. I WANT THEM TO DESTROY HIM AND HIS CRONIES FIRST. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ANYTHING) #but like they did kinda go off with the Theming. i do love that. universal too BUT. not to derail this post into roller coasters but also #sorry that is a thing im incapablw of being normal about sorry UH universal also went tf off with the themeing and i Love it HOWEVER #i do with the coasters were more. visible. i cant speak for disney i only went once as a very small tiny child and i remember nothing #but i went to universal in high school like Right before they completely retracked hulk and the theming was incredible i was obsessed. #but there was no way to see most of the coasters without actually riding them which i did find very disappointing.

fun fact! assuming the hotel cost 200,000 dollars, it would take about 11 years for OJ to have his million dollars run out due to food expenses alone

#wheucto #wheucto speaks #is food expenses even a real phrase? whatever #the number 200k is based on the number ii fandom wiki gives of a little under 190k #the food costs is from balancedeverything.com/average-food-cost-per-month - i chose the lowest (2400) then multiplied it by 30 #since there's like 34 contestants from ii (counting yinyang as two)_ so minus two for the ghost_ two for apple and marshmallow_ one bc - #- yinyang only has one mouth_ and adding one for mephone_ who'd also be there #actually i should've minus'd one for box since i don't think he eats but. whatever #and knowing how hotel oj runs - with the parties and casinos - i wouldn't doubt oj would try something new (and probably stupid) #also there's fixing the hotel_ furniture_ paint supplies_ there probably has to be a doctor #or maybe they just kill them who knows #so. it would take less than that #also a million seconds is 11 days. another fun fact! a billion is 31 years #honestly i find it a little ? uh. not exactly accurate (i guess) when people call him rich when he's not THAT rich #he only won a million dollars. and since the hotel probably cost 200k he's probably not even a millionaire at all #definitely not poor yknow. just. not very rich #and a decade isn't even that long. that would definitely be in the residents' lifetimes. #oj probably would have to find another source of income. somehow. #so many tags... how am i even going to swim today.
