#get that cash pug!
Text
BG3 characters as things I've thought, said or muttered under my breath at work
Astarion: My presence here is purely decorational, obviously.
Gale: When I said "this is not going to stay put for more than a day" about the shelf I've just reorganized, that was not a request for an any % speedrun!
Halsin: I can't stay in a bad mood when off in the distance there's the disembodied voice of a pet parrot going "Hello! Hello! Hello!"
Jaheira: Yes I am asking you to go get cash to spite you, specifically. I wish to draw this interaction out longer than necessary, because there's no way this inconveniences me as well.
Karlach: Yes, normally things need updates. If you update anything here; the entire system shits itself and keels over dead. Stop updating shit!
Lae'zel: I really want to know the logic of some people when they ask if there's any earlier time than the earliest time I just stated for an appointment. Like, what do you expect to hear? "Congratulations that was the correct cheat code now the earliest time is-"
Minsc: I got to pet a pug nobody can ruin this day anymore!
Minthara: I can be your best ally or I can throw you to the wolves with zero qualm, your choice.
Shadowheart: Ofcourse I talk to myself. That's the only way to get an intelligent conversation around here.
Wyll: I have neither the time, the energy nor the payrate to explain this to you.

Tumblr media
The convenience store around the corner from your house always had these little handmade knick knacks that you loved. You were surprised the first time you found a little handmade porcelain dog to add to your collection. After talking to the cashier you found out they bought locally made art once a week to give the artists exposure. You had fallen so irrevocably in love with that cute little pup you made it your mission to return once a week to find more.
As you perused the latest inventory, you saw a figure down the aisle. Looking up you recognized the man instantly, Andy Barber. His family had been spread across all the local news feeds for a year. You had always felt bad for him, going through the trial for his son, his ex-wife’s mental break. It was all so much for one person. You gave him a small shy smile and bowed your head as you tried to decide between the spotted Dalmatian or the cuddly looking pug.
Weighing both cute little creatures in your hands, you almost dropped them as Andy approached. “Cute.” He said reaching over you to pick up a Saint Bernard with its tongue lolling out. “You collect these?” His tone was inquisitive if a little confused.
You brightened at his interest, feeling your face heat slightly in embarrassment. “The store buys them from local artists to help get them exposure. And look how cute they are!” You held the Dalmatian in your hand up higher for him to inspect.
He chuckled at your eager response stroking a single long finger across the back of the dog. The action was innocent, but it sent something thrumming straight to your core. “You have many of these?” He quirked a brow at you.
“A few, I’ve never really collected anything before but I come back every week for these.” You smiled brightly up at him. A broad grin spread across his face, your enthusiasm clearly rubbing off on him.
He placed the Saint Bernard back on the rack, his eyes tracing each cute little face until finally he landed on a golden retriever playing in grass. “Thanks for the tip.” He reached out and gave your arm a reassuring squeeze before turning to head to the cash. “The dalmation’s the winner.” He tossed casually over his shoulder.
You let out a snort, going back to the two pups held lovingly in your hands. Finding more and more he was right, with a sigh you gently placed the pug back with its companions and made your way to the cash yourself.
Tumblr media
The following week found you back in the artist aisle of the convenience store. This time Andy found you almost immediately. You were frowning at this weeks selection. Frogs. Who collects frogs?
“Nothing to take home today?” He smiled as he approached.
You grimaced as you looked at the faces. Sure they were kind of cute, but you just didn’t get it. “Frogs. They’ve never had them before.” You tried to pick your words carefully. They weren’t terrible, just not for you.
Andy laughed as your face twisted into a frown. “Come look over here, they’re not porcelain but you might like these better.” He clasped your hand in his and pulled you down the aisle. There were glass pups of several different varieties. You tried to suppress your excitement at his find, finding yourself bobbing up and down on your toes, your fingers itching to grab at them. He chuckled and released your hand and you eagerly grabbed two. Needing to inspect them up close.
After a few moments of silence you finally came back to yourself. You felt your body heat from your toes to your face at your childish reaction, in front of a stranger no less! You cleared your throat awkwardly and introduced yourself, juggling the glass pups carefully so you could extend your hand to Andy.
A slow smile spread across his face, his eyes twinkled in the low light of the store. The wrinkles that lined his eyes seemed to smooth at your own warmth. “Andy.” He said taking your offered hand in his own and pumping it up and down a few times. You found yourself drowning in the blue depths of his eyes. The beard that lined his face twitching up as he noticed your clear distraction at his looks.
It took you a moment to realize you were still holding his hand, and staring at him dreamily. You shook your head to clear your thoughts, it was inappropriate more than anything. “Sorry,” You mumbled, diverting your gaze to the glass puppies in your hand.
Andy stroked the back of your hand still clasped in his with the back of his thumb once before letting go. He gave you a wry smile, “Nothing to be sorry for, I’m glad I could help.” He placed his hands in his jeans pockets and scanned the shelves. “I’m not much for these, but seeing how happy they make you, I may become a convert.” He winked and ducked his head down, like he was embarrassed at the statement. You were sure you saw a bit of pink tinge his cheeks before he did.
“Thank you Andy, really! Although,” You hummed as you surveyed the precious puppies, “I really should cut back on these. I think I’m running out of space.”
He huffed out a laugh, “Maybe you should come back next week and see if they’ve got the porcelain ones back.”
You nodded, but seemingly like he could sense your reluctance, he plucked a beautiful small Labrador from the shelf. “Maybe just a small one?”
When you looked up you saw what could only be described as puppy dog eyes. You laughed and placed the others back on the shelf. “I think a small one couldn’t hurt.” You reached to pull the lab from his hand, “Let me.” He said.
You gave him a befuddled look. “Andy, I can’t let you buy this for me. You just learned my name!” A look flashed through his eyes so fast, you almost missed it. Ire at your casual rebuff. Taking a step back you shook your head, all mirth leaving your face.
Seeing your unease he immediately sprung into action, “I’m sorry.” He handed you the small glass pup and placed his hands on his hips. “I didn’t mean to. Ugh, I’m screwing this all up.” He brought both hands up and scrubbed them down his face. When his fingertips were at his chin and you could see his eyes again you saw regret and something else swimming in the blue pools. “What are you screwing up?” You reached out and placed a hand on his bicep, feeling the tightly coiled muscle loosen at your touch.
“I saw you here, a few weeks ago. I’ve been, after everything, I just.” He hung his head and gave a mirthless laugh, “It’s been a long time since I’ve had to flirt or any of this and I’m suddenly realizing I’m quite terrible at it.”
“Oh…OH!” You suddenly realized that Andy, was not at all as interested in the small figurines you had been excitedly showing him the other day, he had been interested in you. “Oh I’m sorry Andy. I didn’t mean to, I uh, I actually have a boyfriend.”
You felt the air between the two of you change, like someone had sucked all the oxygen out of the room. Andy’s arm flexed underneath your fingers. He searched your face and let out a sigh, “Can’t blame a guy for trying, right?” His free hand came up and removed yours from his arm. “I think I’ve embarrassed myself enough for one day, I’m…I’m gonna go.” His shoulders slumped as he curled in on himself, turning and exiting the aisle, and the store, before you could even respond.
Your heart beat wildly in your chest at the exchange. How had your day gone so weird? You shakily released a breath you didn’t realize you’d been holding, trying to expel the tension from your muscles. Something about the whole exchange with Andy had set you on edge. It’s what made you lie about a boyfriend that didn’t exist. Shaking your head for what felt like the millionth time today, you placed the cute little glass Labrador back on the shelf and made you way to the exit of the store. You vowed not to return for a while, let you both cool off a bit before another accidental run in.
Tumblr media
Two weeks. It had been two weeks since your awkward exchange with Andy and you were itching to go back to the convenience store. You weren’t sure what it was about those cute little figures that had completely taken over your heart, but you knew you had to go see if they had gotten any dogs back in stock. You tried to distract yourself with chores, and movies, but you were so restless you could barely focus on one task for more than a couple minutes at a time.
You snarled at your reflection as you passed the mirror in your entranceway for the umpteenth time. Pulling on your jacket and boots before you even realized what you were doing. It was ridiculous really. It’s a store, lots of people go to stores. And so what if Andy was there, he was probably too embarrassed by your rejection to come back anyways.
Nodding to yourself in the mirror, you grabbed your purse and made your way down to the road. It was surprisingly warm for the time of year so you decided to walk to the convenience store. Silently berating yourself as you walked for letting a man, you didn’t know, throw you completely out of whack over nothing. He hadn’t even been that bad! He just seemed awkward, and you immediately rejected him without a second thought.
So completely in your own head, you didn’t even notice the silent figure approaching you from behind. Your pace was slow enough that they easily caught up, and pulled you into an alley off the road before you could even squeak. They placed a gloved hand over your mouth, but it didn’t matter, you were in too much shock to scream. You felt a prick in your neck before everything slowly went dark, and your limbs went slack.
Tumblr media
Your eyes fluttered open, bleary and unfocused. You couldn’t remember anything, and your head felt like it was full of cotton wool. Something was wrong, but you weren’t quite sure what. You brought your hand up to rub at your eyes, and heard a low murmur from your right. “There she is, how are you feeling, sweet girl?” You froze at the voice, you knew that voice. You struggled to place it, but you felt strong arms pull you back into a warm broad chest. It felt nice.
Soft hands stroked along your sides, before lacing through your own. You felt the scrape of a beard on the back of your neck as he nuzzled into you. “I was worried honey, you slept for so long. Are you back with me now?”
You felt like a bucket of ice cold water had been dumped on you, your brain finally caught up to what was going on. The alley, the prick in your neck, Andy had taken you. Before you could stop yourself you began to shake. Terrified of what the man whose grip on you had gone from soft to iron could actually do to you.
“Don’t be scared honey, you’re okay.” His voice held an edge, but there was a roughness to it as well, one you were all too familiar with. “Just be good for me. Be my good girl okay?”
It was posed a question but you could see it for the threat it was. Be my good girl, or else. You knew you had to tread carefully if you were going to get out of this. “Andy, what’s going on?”
He sighed and you felt him rest his forehead against your shoulder. “Honey, good girls don’t ask questions. I know this is new for both of us. It’ll take us some time to get used to it. Just let me take care of everything.” He let go of one of your hands to turn your face to him by your chin. Bringing his own face close enough so his breath whispered out against your lips. “I haven’t figured out all the rules yet, but we can do it together, okay? Now are you gonna be my good girl?”
His eyes held a darkness, the one you had seen flash through them at the store a few short weeks ago. Your voice seemed lodged in your throat, and only breathy little whimpers seemed to escape. You could feel the tears building in your eyes and fluttered them closed as you nodded your acquiescence. You just needed to buy yourself some time.
You felt his lips twitch into a grin against yours. “Good girl.” He whispered before kissing you. At his praise you were surprised to find yourself getting aroused. You rubbed your thighs together as surreptitiously as you could. Andy licked into your mouth as his hand traveled down to the hem of the dress you were wearing. He bunched it up above your hips and gently traced his index finger up and down your thighs. You shivered, and bit your bottom lip, trying to contain your reaction to his soft touches.
“You need to relax, honey. Why don’t you let me help you?” You could hear the smirk in his words and he got up from behind you. He gently laid you on the bed and hovered above you. He stretched himself like a cat before leaning in to kiss you again. This time you gave in immediately, searching out access to his mouth. His kisses were intoxicating.
He gently cupped your cheek with one hand, his thumb soothingly stroking. You brought both your hands up to his shoulders, before settling by being gently clasped around his neck. His beard scratched your cheeks as he kissed you, a feeling you found somewhat unpleasant as you weren’t used to it at all. You whined into his mouth, and he slowly pulled away.
“That’s it honey,” he had mistaken your whine as one of pleasure and not pain. “Just let me take care of you, you’re being so good for me.” He trailed kisses down your neck and buried his face there. Your eyes darted around the room, looking for something, anything that could help you.
Andy pulled on the buttons at the front of your dress, opening enough to expose your chest. You inwardly cursed at your choice of a front clasping bra. Looking up at him with big tear filled eyes you brought one hand to his cheek and drew his gaze from your chest. “Andy, I don’t know. I’m scared.”
He shushed you and pulled you to his chest. “No honey, no. Don’t be scared, there’s nothing to worry about okay? I’ve known from the moment I saw you how perfect you are. So sweet, so beautiful. I knew, honey. Don’t you trust me?”
He pulled away so he could rest his forehead against yours. You saw nothing but truth in his eyes. Still you felt the tears leak from your eyes and a sob lodge in your throat, scared your tears would bring his anger back.
“Shhh honey, it’s okay. Why don’t we wait, huh? It’s been a big day for both of us. I’m sure you’ll feel better in the morning.” With that he extricated himself from your grasp and went over to the dresser. He pulled a silk nightie from the drawer and sleep pants for himself. “Come on, let’s get ready for bed.”
You nodded stiffly, and with Andy’s help took to your feet. You stripped out of your dress, feeling Andy’s eyes on you the entire time. Chancing a glance up at him you saw the steel return to his eyes as your hand twitched towards the nightie. Sighing you unclasped your bra and tossed it in the hamper, you pulled your panties down and stepped out of them, tossing them as well.
From your peripheral you saw Andy nod, and took that as permission to put on the nightie. It was short, but felt like heaven on. You climbed back into the bed as Andy swapped his jeans, t-shirt and boxer briefs for his sleep pants. You turned on your side facing the wall. Hoping he would fall asleep quickly.
He cuddled up behind you, pulling you tight against his chest again. One hand settled across your stomach, the other he wedged underneath your head. He slotted his leg between yours and sighed, truly content. “You’ll see honey, we’re going to be amazing together. I promise.”
You nodded and quietly let your tears flow freely, staring at the porcelain Saint Bernard sitting on the bedside table. Accepting that for now at least, you were the property of Andy Barber.

mickey mcfist, THE MAIN CHARACTER, this time getting help from @speeeeeb! thank you for your effort, even with native english speakers, its a struggle to understand wtf the narrator is saying, its insane lmao, both him and gaby needed even my help and stuff, we all help eachother 😭
Cutscene no.1
Mickey Mcfist, now there was one tough pug! Loved the ladies and the booze, not to mention the ponies. A great fighter! Not such a great gambler. Wish I had bet the opposite of every bet Mickey made, heck I’d be a freaking BILLIONAIRE TODAY! Anyways, that’s where his troubles started. too many bets, too many losses. He was in deep to the local loanshark and getting behind on the gig, something you never wanna do. One day, Mickey’s working away at the bar when Bronto shows up. He politely asks Mickey for that week’s loan payment. Mickey’s a tad short but Bronto understands and gives him an extra day. These two go WAY back.
Cutscene no.2
You’d think that Mickey would’ve handed the cash over to Bronto. Instead, the moron ‘invested’ it. Maybe Bronto would’ve taken that car as a payment, but Mickey decided to do a little body work to it first. Anyhow, Bronto let him slide on the bid for another day, but not before making sure his buddy Mickey was alright
Cutscene no.3
Mickey finally made the payment, but he was late, and that meant an extra charge to work off. Bronto’s spars had bet on Mickey to win the third round and by a KO, and if Mickey was smart, that’s what he’d do. Notice I said ‘if’.
Cutscene no.4
Thinking the loanshark would’ve had the fight fixed, Mickey bet everything he had on himself. A sure thing, right? Well, he was right about the fix. Just before the fight, Bronto had some new orders for him: LOSE
Cutscene no.5
Screwing the loanshark’s fix wasn’t the smartest move. Like, you’d figure Bronto had some new demands. Mickey had bet his bar against the loanshark’s losses, or he’d buy cheap after Mickey’s funeral. Of course, Bronto was gonna make damn sure Mickey was in no shape to win.
Cutscene no.5
Mickey figured he’d saved his bar and paid his dept, but scumbag loansharks don’t like to lose, and this one was no different. Bronto was sent in to make sure Mickey DIDN’T leave that ring in one piece.
Cutscene no.6
Bronto walked in the next day with some good news for a change. The loanshark bet on Mickey to beat Bronto, and won back all his losses. Mickey was free and clear. Like most things that happened to Mickey, this called for a drink. Like I said, these two go way back.

Thoughts on She-Hulk - S1 Finale
This was a memorable ride. The highs, the lows. The retreat episode, the wedding episode. The quality was all over the place, the controversy was plentiful, and I'm pretty sure they sacrificed the plot of the finale for an epic fourth wall gag.
So yes, the finale DID stay true to the show. It was the Jen show, with Nat and Pug in the B-plot. It was meta, it was funny, and it was also kind of a disaster - so every aspect of the show together. It was a fitting finale.
One plot development I liked that honestly caught me off guard but makes so much sense is Blonsky acting like a Jordan Peterson-type figure. He takes this therapeutic philosophy that does honest good and monetizes it by mixing it with things young men want to hear. And the most accurate part is, it's just a job. It's a gig, just like so many of these manosphere figures.
The twist doesn't really go anywhere except putting Blonksky back in jail, but I appreciated the concept. And look at that face on Abomination while he was doing his gig! Are those special effects even done? That looks so funny.
She-Hulk's conversation with K.E.V.I.N was brilliant. Jen literally arguing with the algorithm that makes Marvel content is the best path the writers could have taken with that scene - except if it was Kevin Feige himself. (I hope Marvel names their algorithm K.E.V.I.N. Because you know they have one. They have to have at least one.)
Unfortunately, the gag comes at the cost of the plot. (Wait, did I just summarize the MCU?) Jen's closing argument was that the climax shouldn't be some generic supervillain plot - it should be about her personal stakes and working things out through civilized discourse.
So, the climax was neither of these things.
The generic supervillain plot still happened - Todd still transformed into HulkKing. There's a difference between skipping to after an implied action scene, and actually writing a plot that genuinely doesn't rely on an action scene. Hmm, how do people resolve things without violence? Oh, that's right, they go to court.
Jen says that she wants the climax to be about her personal development, but it isn't. K.E.V.I.N just drops her into the scene after the fight where everything is already resolved. Blonsky is suddenly sorry when he wasn't before, and they have no time to talk about it. Todd isn't a Hulk anymore, and It's confusing whether he was, because Titania is there -
And about Titania! Poor Titania. The show really just leaves her character arc there, doesn't it? The episode is so caught up in the fourth wall gag it completely forgets to mention why Titania is even there, except to make it look like the plot is spiraling. And it is,
...but lampshades only get you so far.
The part with the Disney+ menu screen before She-Hulk climbs out of the thumbnail was cool, wasn't it?
All in all, it comes off like the writers made something entertaining with a lot of limitations - too many Marvel projects, not enough time to hash out a coherent plot while the executives kept changing things on the fly, especially with limited cash to put She-Hulk on screen at all, and make her look good. The writers knew the effects weren't great and the writing would be rushed, so they leaned into it, used fan outrage as a plot point, and tied things together in the finale with a fourth wall break instead of actually resolving the plot they set up.
When all is said and done, taken for what it is, it was fun. I'm afraid that whole K.E.V.I.N joke is going to stick though. For example: we've been waiting since Shang-Chi to learn what exactly Wong is teaching Blonsky. This show featured both of them, and we still don't really why they're hanging out, and moreover why the algorithm known as K.E.V.I.N wants to show us over and over again except to tease us that something might happen! ...someday.
*tears off K.E.V.I.N's face*
Me: Gasp! It was Zola all along?!
Zola: That is correct! I was K.E.V.I.N all along!
Me: What a twist. Well, I'm glad we resolved that.
...
And the post-credits scene!
Hulk: This is my son, Skarr.
Me: Um...okay.
Hulk: And this is his friend, Pip the Troll.
Me: *recoils in horror*

New Song!
This ones called 'Maggy' and is my efforts at a story based country rock song. I got the idea for it when I was listening to a song bt "The Wallows" that had a line, 'why are girls in songs always 17' and I thougt that was true as shit. You always here about 17 year old girls in songs, so I decided to write a song about a girl who isn't 17. No, shes 18.
But really though, after that lyric making me want to make it, I was mostly inspired by the music of Kings Of Leon and Joe Pug for this one. I didn't try to write it as a country rick song, but that's usually where my more serious effort songs end up going.
I've never known anyone personally that went through this scenario, but I've heard many stories from women who've felt like they were forced into porn by lack of options and need for money. I wanted to try and capture how that feels from a more outside, more cycnical point of view. One that pretty much tries to say, "well what did she think would happen? We told her." Knowing full well the manipulation at play. It's about the lies of the big city dream, that if you can just get there, you can make it. It's about how we go to low places when we feel cornered, and about how shamelessly people take advantage of those sunken folk.
All in all, this song is about a girl who was desperate for money so she could live. All in all, this is meant to be a 'fuck capitalism' song.
Keep an eye out on my YouTube for an upcoming live performance of it!
Lyrics:
Now I've met a fair shair of people going through 'bout my days
Heard many tales a' caution
Seems there's shit all over the place
And I've got one such tale that I'd like to share with you
So y'all sit there right in your chairs as I spin my yarn to you
This is the story of a girl
She's just turned 18
She saved up to move to the city
And She's gonna live her dream
Ya See she's gonna be an actress
And it's gonna be sweet
But she could only afford the ticket
And now she's living in the Street
But straight off the plain
She was fresh and she was green
And soon to learn the truth
Of the city made of dreams
***
Maggy bought the bullshit
That she was always told
Maggy bought the only lie
That she was ever sold
She believed them when they told her
"Baby we promise you gold"
So trust us darling when we say
they'll really love your smile
So just keep smiling
***
At first she was a waitress
getting auditions now and then
But she couldn't keep that up though
As she'd only made one friend
And the wadges she was making
Were shitty as could be
And Maggy now was struggling
She couldn't find a place to sleep
So she turned to the adverts
Put her name down on the list
And a kind old man said i can take ya
If you'd only do just this
***
Maggy bought the bullshit
That she was always told
Maggy bought the only lie
That she was ever sold
She believed them when they told her
Baby we promise you gold
So trust us darling when we say
They'll really love your smile
So just keep smiling
***
She started as a model
Showin off in lingerie
But it wouldn't be too long
Before she couldn't get her way
See Maggy now was desperate
She needed money bad
And every time the call back came
She had to take the cash
You could see it on her face now
She'd finally got her dream
And she made it there by smiling
Every god damn week
***
Maggy bought the bullshit
That she was alway told
Maggy bought the only lie
That she was ever sold
She believed them when they told her
Baby we promise you gold
So trust us darling when we say
They'll really love your smile
So just
Keep
SMILING~~~

Have finally come to the conclusion that I won't ever cum inside a vagina unless I use my financial riches to groom super-attractive females into letting my attempt to fit my microscopic maggot inadequacy past their desirable vaginal lips...
Money for nothingness but your chicks for free, alright... Or I'll forever remain in dire straits as far as straight sex is concerned... But, I can still follow my now-defining queer status with their equally-hot partner shagging me deep up my arse crack and he also losing me my anal cherry as well as she my penile virginity on the same session... Then the female half of the relationship can get her own back on allowing my pug-ugly runt, of a POOr excuse for a manhood, inside her private parts - but, as I already stated, if I can actually manage to fit it into her otherwise discerning genitalia that was seduced entirely by the thought of a LARGE bank balance rather than a small wank-bank failure...
An indecent proposal that may one day be in the biographical book about my life I'm currently penning, as well as on Facebook... The one sex scene you will read about in it - but my cash incentive will make them work to make it a scene its readers will also want to instantly disrobe their naughty bits to masturbate at it to...

These insist that they're going after the close and taking their stuff and they're going to have enough stuff to take over Earth and that they are in going to be in our in a position to do so shortly and they're very confident and very arrogant about it. Right now the max are losing huge amounts of soldiers fighting the clones and the mohawk and foreigners and they're not going to be in a great position. The Antarctic whole to the core has disintegrated about 3 million troops today in total on both sides and out of that 500,000 octillion Max it's a significant number. They've been losing troops the whole time as has the other groups and they haven't been losing his rapidly but they have been losing quite a bit and it is also a fact that they're losing troops in the tunnels and fighting over stashes and cash items that went to the clones areas and it went in the tunnels to the clones and they lost 400,000 octillion in that fight today. And they also lost about 1 million I'll tell you in the Parks and they did lose $2 million Australian fighting over ships including the new very large possibly class A ships including the extremely huge ones which are the the noses the width of a country. Now this is going on all day today huge huge losses by Max by the warlock and by people who worked with Mac and they sit back and say why is this happening and it's the close and it's the clone army and they are fighting them hard but their attitude is horrendous and they'll be that way for quite a while we think if they have any people left. I always think there's some Way.
The molar glasses and there's kind of a Mac wing they took huge hits today they're pretty much going to be down shortly because other groups are saying that they're going to keep fighting until they're out foreigners are now taking ocean going vessels and the molar fighting them over it at lay down areas at suppliers at the pug Mills at the mines and at the ships and for a beach areas huge fights okay massive massive fights and they're fighting to take warlock territory and Max are fighting them too overseas and if I had to take it all I don't have any time for them anymore and they try and get here and their second fleet it's now moving the first fleet is wiped out and Tommy f still has 8 million chips it was the bismol performance by huge huge fleet. And Florida start fighting over the fleet they said you're useless you don't even fire shots you just look at them. Characters like John remillard they get beat up all the time and they won't stop getting beaten up they used to getting beaten up and they lie about what they do to people and they're gross and he's going to get done to him quite often.
The numbers don't mean too much what means a lot is people found out that the stashes and caches in their houses and apartments condos cars and underneath and in places they hid things even in their bank they put in safety deposit boxes and a bunch of them actually they occupy like half each Bank all of that stuff is being found by people all over the world and where to spreading faster and faster before you know what they're going to be gone probably by the end of the day tonight right now there are 3rd the size they were last month no they like in 18th of the size they were last month so if they had 18 million they only have one now and I'll tell you what they probably just had twice that it's going to go away it's really bad and it's really soon that they're going to be gone people are pursuing them and we should be able to hold them out. And by our prediction we know what's going to happen tonight and tomorrow and Mac already got shot it's just that the morlock are still pretty big or they were and they're going to be very small shortly

What is the Actual Deal on Household Pet Insurance coverage Protection?
New Post has been published on https://petnews2day.com/uncategorised/what-is-the-actual-deal-on-household-pet-insurance-coverage-protection/
What is the Actual Deal on Household Pet Insurance coverage Protection?
Even when you have not had a confrontation involving your animal of late, pet insurance coverage protection has truly most likely crossed your thoughts. And you probably have, the prices for any non-routine care might need value you anyplace from a cool couple hundred to just about a grand. You might need questioned why people have medical insurance and most animals don’t, when the medical prices appear nearly the very same! And but, navigating by way of the underbrush of wonderful print related to pet insurance coverage protection might need put you off. Is it definitely worth the cash? What do insurance coverage suppliers actually cowl? And why do some plans value the moon whereas others appear way more budget-friendly? We’ll try to clear a path by way of the paper jungle. Tip # 1: Get Them in Younger Ideally, you may want to acknowledge greatest household pet insurance coverage protection plan for you, and get your loved ones pet in younger whereas she’s nonetheless fairly wholesome. The reason being, ought to your animal develop a long-term well being downside akin to a thyroid downside, she will not be certified for a lot of packages, having a “pre-existing situation.” For those who stick to 1 high quality program, although, you may most probably be nice. Tip # 2: You Get What You Pay For This would possibly stick within the craw a bit, once you begin taking a look at insurance coverage protection premiums. A few of them value a horrible lot! You’ll want to look forward too, at approximated boosts down the street. The older your loved ones pet grows, the extra the premiums will value. They may get moderately stiff for an older pet, even a wholesome one. Why do you have to pay out a mint for technique A, when technique B provides protection for half the associated fee? The response is: lack of nasty surprises. Let’s face it, no person nevertheless an insurance coverage protection adjuster can inform what the small print suggests when it pertains to overlaying your animal. We do perceive this: on the extra inexpensive plans, sad issues happen. Let’s provide an example– let’s state you may have two pugs, each lined by an inexpensive technique. One sadly breaks his leg and desires quite a few surgical therapies, costing two thousand altogether. You could consider your low-cost plan– which fortunately, covers 2K of expenses– will deal with all the pieces. While you submit your declare, you discover that 2K is the optimum protection for each pet canine, and your pug is simply certified for half. Even worse, however very typical, is a decrease restrict per prevalence. On this case, Low Price Household pet Technique will react that it solely covers $500 for this “incident,” but when your unhealthy pug breaks his leg three extra instances this yr, they will be glad to help. Suggestion # 3: You Get What You Pay For Sure, we perceive we mentioned that already– however we did not say it sufficient. At some point, your growing old household pet develops diabetes. That yr, when it comes time to revive the technique and improve the premiums, your insurer sticks in an exclusion. As of that minute, they now not cowl diabetes in your pet. No much less typical– and no extra enjoyable– is the restricted payout per situation concern. Your low-cost insurer would possibly cowl the very first 3 years of your diabetic household pet’s veterinarian bills, however after that, you may have truly gone by way of her lifetime allowance for diabetes. Now in her golden years, all her medical prices come instantly out of your pocket. What you need is a dependable firm that agrees to insure your pet for all times, interval. No methods, no last-minute exemptions, no life time situation limitations. To have this stuff, you may require to pay for them. Tip # 4: Comply with the Wagging Tails Household pet insurance coverage prices an excessive amount of to be tossing darts in the dead of night. You require to know which plans will come by way of for you down the street after you may have truly paid their premiums for years. Though we have not used both, we discovered many glad purchasers with PetPlan and Marks & Spencer. There are different nice plans too, and prepares which can be greatest averted. The thought we like most is to ask your veterinarian what she makes use of. Sure!– quite a few veterinarians assure their beloved animals, and are meticulous in who they select. Suggestion # 5: Do You Even Required Insurance coverage Protection? There’s an argument– and it is a good one– that household pet insurance coverage actually serves no objective. You may see the power of this line of believed once you take a look at the premiums of high quality, trusted plans– they’re excessive. Why do you have to pay out all that cash for what * would possibly * occur, as an alternative of stashing it every month in your personal high-interest financial savings account and easily withdrawing what you require? The reply is easy: self-discipline. Some individuals have the self-discipline to pay their premiums, nevertheless to not develop a separate account they won’t contact aside from emergency pet bills. Moreover self-discipline, there’s most probably no actual motive that you shouldn’t self-insure. With one exception– legal responsibility. Some methods present additional safety in case your canine hurts anyone and also you get sued. These aren’t the examples you’ll be able to effectively preserve up for by yourself, so if you happen to consider it is perhaps a problem, pet insurance coverage protection would possibly genuinely be the trail for you. Suggestion # 6: One other For the Roadway Is your pet a reward purebred, with a pedigree reaching again previous to William of Orange? Count on extra veterinarian bills over its life time– it is merely an analytical reality. Possibly this refined factor will help you resolve whether or not you’ll want to self-insure or select a method. Consolation: Priceless And at the back of our minds hides the concern that Fido will sooner or later come down with one thing we won’t pay for to deal with– simultaneous kidney failure and diabetes, for instance (to say an unlucky chapter from my very own pet file). That is why insurance coverage was established, and that is why pet insurance coverage protection is perhaps the only option for you.
You will have questioned why people have medical insurance protection and most household pets don’t, when the medical bills seem nearly the exact same! Ideally, you may need to acknowledge perfect animal insurance coverage plan for you, and get your pet in younger whereas she’s nonetheless fairly wholesome. On this case, Low Price Animal Technique will reply that it simply covers $500 for this “incident,” but when your poor pug breaks his leg 3 extra instances this yr, they will be delighted to help. Household pet insurance coverage prices an excessive amount of to be throwing darts in the dead of night. That is why insurance coverage protection was developed, and that is why pet insurance coverage is perhaps the perfect alternative for you.

pewdiepie gaming setup
Individual Life
PewDiePie was brought into the world in Gothenburg, Sweden, on October 24, 1989. His mom, Johanna Kjellberg, is the main data official of Swedish aviation organization Swedavia AB. PewDiePie's dad, Ulf Kjellberg, is the CEO and showcasing head of Swedish programming organization Inobiz and overseer of PewDiePie's organization Pewdie Productions AB. PewDiePie likewise has a sister, Fanny Kjellberg Sylwander, who as of now lives with her family in Brighton, England.
PewDiePie likewise has a home in Brighton, despite the fact that he and his significant other, Marzia Kjellberg, split their time between the UK and their subsequent home in Japan. However PewDiePie is moderately unassuming with regards to flaunting the his rewards for all the hard work
Gaming setup
PewDiePie has been an excited gamer since adolescence. Nonetheless, his family never possessed a gaming console; the majority of his initial gaming experience came through Super Nintendo consoles leased by his folks.
As a young adult, he invested quite a bit of his energy gaming at web bistros, ultimately figuring out how to buy his own PC utilizing cash he produced using selling craftsmanship at his grandma's exhibition. It was this PC that he used to transfer the main video to his PewDiePie direct in 2010, while concentrating on modern financial aspects and innovation the board at Gothenburg's Chalmers University of Technology. Click here for pewdiepie gaming setup
Before sufficiently long, PewDiePie understood that he tracked down considerably more satisfaction in altering and posting recordings than in his school coursework, and he exited college in 2011 to zero in on making recordings and selling prints of his work of art and photoshopped pictures.
That very year, PewDiePie met his future spouse, Italian previous YouTuber Marzia Kjellberg (née Bisognin) when Marzia messaged PewDiePie to let him know that she partook in his recordings. They before long began dating, and she moved to Sweden to be with him in October 2011. (Prior to moving to their home in Brighton, PewDiePie and Marzia spent a stretch living respectively in her local Italy too).
In 2012, Marzia turned into a YouTuber by her own doing, making recordings basically centered around cosmetics and design. Marzia's channel gathered north of 7 million supporters before she declared her retirement in a video in October 2018.
In April 2018, PewDiePie proposed to Marzia; in August 2019, they were hitched in a little function at Kew Gardens in London. PewDiePie and Marzia as of now live respectively with their two pugs, Edgar and Maya, and a hedgehog named Dogy. They picked their home in Brighton because of its better web network and its closeness than the sea.
Occupations Before YouTube
After PewDiePie exited from Chalmers University of Technology, his folks would not give him monetary help, driving him to get various side positions during his initial days as a YouTube maker. He worked at a tennis court, filled in as a harbor chief, sold wieners at a stand, created prints of his specialty and photoshopped pictures, and almost scored an apprenticeship at a top Swedish publicizing organization.
YouTube Career
PewDiePie made his most memorable YouTube channel, Pewdie, in 2006, despite the fact that his YouTube profession didn't start decisively until he established his second and current channel, PewDiePie, in 2010. His initial recordings were Let's Plays that principally centered around PewDiePie's clever and beyond preposterous responses to in-game occasions; his most seasoned accessible video, Minecraft Multiplayer Fun, shows PewDiePie snickering at a Minecraft zombie that has some way or another stalled out in a tree.
Not at all like numerous other conspicuous YouTubers, PewDiePie never had a solitary viral video that launch him into distinction; all things being equal, he ground it out the most difficult way possible, reliably creating recordings and hoarding his fanbase one small step at a time. In 2011, he extended from Let's Plays into vlogging, delivering a customary video blog series named Fridays with PewDiePie.
By July 2012, his channel arrived at 1 million supporters; in February 2013, he had 5 million. It was during this period that PewDiePie left his agreement with the diversion network Machinima and marked an agreement with Maker Studios, with whom he would team up until 2017.
By August 2013, PewDiePie's feed had turned into the most bought in on YouTube, and he started to turn his substance towards games that intrigued him specifically, offering him the chance to feature more modest non mainstream titles that could somehow go unnoticed for the vast majority of his watchers.
His style kept on developing over the long haul, with PewDiePie connecting with other YouTubers on a more regular basis and straightforwardly resolving apparent issues with YouTubes calculations and settings in his recordings. In 2016, he featured in his own YouTube Red series, Scare PewDiePie, which highlighted PewDiePie investigating genuine sets in view of loathsomeness computer games.
His substance developed more experienced, moving to a drier and less shocking sort of humor. This change was reflected in the names that PewDiePie used to allude to his fans: in the good 'ol days, he utilized the expression "Brother Army" to portray his devotees, however lately he has moved to terms, for example, "Crew Fam" and "nine-year-olds" all things considered.
Through everything, PewDiePie's fans remained steadfast, with his endorser consider expanding he tried different things with new and various kinds of content. In any case, his channel failed to be the most-seen on YouTube in February 2017, when it was surpassed by the authority channel of Indian record mark T-Series.
In October 2018, with the T-Series channel ready to overwhelm his own in endorser numbers, PewDiePie delivered a diss track focused on the record name, igniting a months-in length offhanded quarrel between the two channels. The pair moved for the lead various times in mid 2019, with T-Series ultimately ending up as the winner in April. Be that as it may, the diss track remains PewDiePie's most well known video, with north of 275 million perspectives and then some.
100 Million Subscribers
On August 25, 2019, PewDiePie's channel penniless the 100 million endorser mark, turning into the first exclusively worked YouTube channel to accomplish this achievement. He was the most-seen YouTuber of 2019, with north of 4 billion perspectives on his essential channel. Feeling drained and wore out from all the consideration, he reported a break that endured among January and February 2020. He likewise erased his Twitter account right now, making sense of that the hyper-focal point of the media on his words and activities had started to negatively affect his emotional well-being.
Break or no rest, PewDiePie's YouTube presence is staying put. In May 2020, he marked a selective arrangement to stream on the stage. Notwithstanding his intermittent reactions of YouTube, the video stage loves PewDiePie. He's gotten seven Play Buttons from YouTube: a Silver button for acquiring 100,000 endorsers in 2012, a Gold button for arriving at 1 million supporters in 2012, a Diamond button for arriving at 10 million supporters in 2013, a custom Ruby button for arriving at 50 million supporters in 2016, a Red Diamond button for hitting 100 million supporters in 2019, and Silver and Gold buttons for a "Jack septiceye2" divert that he made jokingly to make fun of individual YouTuber jackseptic eye. PewDiePie doesn't have to transfer recordings to find success; in any event, when he was on break in mid 2020, his channel acquired more than 1,000,000 new devotees.

The Case File – Mice and Murder Ep 1
The Case of the The Pernicious Party  
Hello, hello, hello! It’s been a hot second but your resident D20 recapper is back to tackle the newest season: Mice and Murder! Y’all had to know I wasn’t gonna sit out the murder mystery, are you kidding me???
I might be playing around with the format a bit in the coming weeks to make sure I have the best possible system for keeping track of possible clues, suspects, and theories as we untangle whatever web Brennan weaves for us this season so don’t be surprised if things change a little. 
Anyway, without further ado, onto our mystery!
Summary
In case you missed it, this season takes place in an alternate, Zootopia/Wind in the Willows-esque universe where all the characters are animals but history seems to have happened in more or less the same way--for example there was still a King Charles but he was a King Charles Spaniel (cute Brennan). Our story specifically takes place in the English village of Tufting Meadows.  
We start with Katie’s character--Gangie Green (Weasel/Thief Rogue) in the graveyard of the Anglican Chapel (Our Lady of Prayerful Paws). Gangie, we learn, is an orphan who was kicked out of the orphanage at some point for thievery. Obviously, he’s not reformed of the habit because he is here to do some graverobbing. On a nat 20 (that Katie hilariously doesn’t notice even though her total is like a 29) Gangie can see through the window of the rectory that there is a weeping window inside--Catherine McCabbage who is being (dubiously) tended to by Raph’s character, Vicar Ian Prescott (Owl/Bard, College of Eloquence). 
Ian comes from a line of men of the cloth but he’s not exactly the best speaker despite his subclass. He’s doing his best though! The widow’s husband (Conor McCabbage) died at the local mill in what has been declared an accident but she suspects foul play. She’s been hearing his voice on the wind and wants Ian’s professional opinion on whether this could be a sign from God or if her husband might be speaking to her from beyond the grave or something like that. Ian gives a very muddled and not very comforting answer but seems pretty sure that something sketchy did in fact happen. Then, he sees a crack of lightning outside which illuminates the graveyard where he gets a glimpse of Gangie. 
He goes to check it out (and Gangie fully has an elderly goat he’s dug up slung over his shoulder) but “gravedigger” is his legit job so Ian decides to assume whatever’s going on is legit and not ask too many questions. He goes back to the widow (who, before she leaves, says that maybe sometimes people need to work on God’s behalf) while Gangie takes the body Loam Hall (a massive manor, built into a hill).
We cut to the next day and our next two characters! 
At 22B Hamsted Street in a pretty well appointed home are Ally and Grant’s characters. First up, we have Lars Vandenchomp (Huge ass Doberman/Battlemaster Fighter) who is so tough looking but also so Swedish sounding--it’s A Lot (so, incredibly on brand for Ally). Lars is security for Grant’s character Sylvester Cross (Fox/Inquisitive Rogue) who is a kinda (to use Grant’s word) “foppish” Sherlock Holmes type. He was hired by Squire William Thornwall Brockhollow to figure out what happened with Conor McCabbage (and clear him of negligence in running the mill) but he couldn’t find any evidence of any funny business, making this the only case he’s never cracked. He’s not as young or popular as he once was so this is, understandably, bumming him out. He’s even more bummed out when he realizes that William has invited him to his 60th birthday party that’s happening that night (as kind of a prop to show that he did his part in trying to solve the mystery) and Lars has already RSVP’d yes. He grudgingly agrees to go as it’s one of those asks that’s really more of a veiled demand but decides to pull the money he was paid from the bank first so he can return it and really stick it to the guy.
Finally, we cut to our last set of PCs who are on their way to Tufting Meadows via a very luxurious train. Inside are Sam and Rekha’s characters! Sam is Buckster $ Boyd (Peccary which is like a small boar/Mastermind Rouge) a Texan Oil Tycoon who acts exactly how you’d expect a Texan Oil Pig to act. Yes, you pronounce the dollar sign as “dollar sign” (even though as we find out later his middle name is Cassius so it’s like Cash which I think is super cool). With him is Rekha’s character, Daisy D'umpstaire (Raccoon/Assassin (???) Rogue another American (from South Carolina) though it seems she’s My Fair Lady’d herself into an upper class socialite (her last name was previously Dumpster). They’re traveling with their accountant, an Armadillo named Armond who seems kinda skittish and concerned about their travel expenses but Buck tells him that to make money you gotta spend money and they’re gonna make a *ton* of money on this trip. They’re also so so mean to him for absolutely no reason. 
When the train stops, they’re greeted by Templeton Padhop (a frog, natch) who is the chauffeur of Loan Hall, sent to fetch them. A wheel on his car is broken so he joins in on the Armond abuse immediately and has Armond roll into an Armadillo ball and replace it. Poor guy. When they show up they're greeted by a footman--a pug in a bowler hat named Milo Snout.
Meanwhile, Lars and Sly (Oh, Sly fox, I see what you did there Grant) are similarly greeted by another footman--a lizard named Basil Baskins. On a 23 perception check, Lars sees that Jeremy “Jez” Brockhollow is inside (the son of William who is a badger btw) and also clocks Gangie (who they know as a career criminal who disappeared like a year ago). Gangie doesn’t notice Lars though. 
Ian, who is also invited, shows up at about the same time as Sly but very quickly, the conversation is taken over by Lucretia “Lucy” Brockhollow, William’s older, eccentric sister who immediately gets into it with Lars about astrology and the occult (she thinks bad stuff is happening because of a curse let loose when Sly’s old rival--a rabbit named Fletcher Cottonbottom who is the son of his former employer--opened an Egyptian tomb). They’re thick as thieves right away because Ally is a nonsense magnet. And not like a regular magnet, one of those big electromagnets. 
Daisy and Buck spot William’s kids--the aforementioned Jez and his older sister Constance--along with their husbands Dr. Corbin Magpie (Constance’s and obv a magpie and a doctor) and Osmond Sheffield (Jez’s who is a Ram and a lawyer). Daisy is too stuck in her conversation with a truly unhinged squirrel (Lady Eugenia Bristlebrush who clearly does not know she’s in a murder mystery because she just keeps talking about how much she hates and wants to kill everyone) to hear what’s going on but she indicates the conversation to Buck who is able to eavesdrop and hear that they’re lamenting that Catherine--the widow--RSVP’d no which is gonna look really bad, like they didn’t invite her (bad PR). 
Buck, introducing himself as a business partner of William, eases into a conversation with the husbands which their respective spouses also join into and we learn that Buck's dad was British and a friend of Willian’s. Buck bonds with Jez (who is a bit of a dilettante) really quickly since Buck is ready to go drinks-wise immediately (and there’s a stellar pun about the “American [Drinking] Constitution''). Through the window, Buck notices Gangie outside getting his attention. 
At the same time, Ian is going from party guest to party guest, giving out the penances he forgot to earlier at church (as one does). We see him talking to the Lord and Lady Bramble (a cow and hedgehog, respectively) and while she wants to pray her way out of situations without doing any legwork, he wants to buy his way out and gives Ian 250 pounds. A frustrating but financially lucrative conversation.  
Buck goes outside to talk to Gangie who has a list of names of the bodies he’s been collecting. We’re not told what Buck is doing but it seems that this list is extremely valuable to him in some way. Gangie (who Buck keeps calling Gangly, to his annoyance) pays him handsomely (like, with a 50% tip) for the list (and Gangie gives him the real list, despite Brennan saying he didn’t have to). We also learn that Gangie has allegedly been getting the orders from someone in Loa Hall and they flow from William himself.
Matilda Molesly (a mole and the head maid) invites Gangie to come in from the rain--she’s the only person who’s been consistently nice to him and he agrees to come in for tea and scones. 
Everyone is ushered together by the butler (because of course there’s a butler--he’s quite literally a fancy rat named Thomas Gilfoyle) and William gives a speech where he wishes Conor well and kinda highlights that he did hire Sly to solve the case in a “Hey, I did my bit don’t blame me” kind of way. He also makes a 150k pound donation to the church (and Ian thought 250 was good) and tells his daughter not to read the praise he got for it from the cardinal when she mentions it (I wonder if that was choreographed). Sly interrupts the speech to “magnanimously” give his money back, to William’s annoyance. Buck notices that Lawrence Longfoot (a nouveau rich, rabbit photographer) takes a pic of the scene but with Sly in the foreground and William in the background. 
Then, a few things happen at once (in a very cinematic way):
As the camera flashes, Mrs. Molesly drops her tray, eyes hurt by the light. Lady Calliope Fawnbrooke (Deer, Matron of the Arts) helps her up.
In the moment of dark, after the flash goes away, the butler disappears. 
Buck thinks he sees a shape through the window, out in the rain. 
A cheer goes up for Sly for returning the money but all Sly can focus on is one figure he recognizes in the back of the room. Daisy, who is downing her drink and not cheering for him. He downs his as well, and looks at her until she breaks the stare and leaves the room. 
And this episode doesn’t end with a dead body like I thought, but with a flashback to a younger Sylvester, 12 years ago when he first met Daisy.
PC INTERPERSONAL DRAMA Y’ALL!!! Get HYPED! 
Case Notes
Here is a compilation of all the characters (PCs and NPCs introduced in this episode). 
Sly mentions that Ignatius Cottonbottom faked his own death as a part of some scheme which seems like a backstory point that might come back later--we now know that there exists a way to convincingly fake your own death in this world. 
Sly walks with a walking stick because of some “mysterious accident” but we’re jumping into a flashback next week so it looks like we might find out about it pretty soon. 
Sly also mentions he used to be the personal physician to the elder Cottonbottom so those are skills he has. I wonder if that’ll be useful to this healer-less party. I wonder if cleric was even an option in this world which seems to be low to no magic. It would explain by Ian is a bad and not a cleric. 
Lars has a military background which I wanted to mention in case it becomes relevant later. 
And Dr. Magpie grew up poor and still acts it a bit even though he married a very rich woman. Brennan uses the very good line, “He forces his body into the shape of an apology”
This might be a really deep cut reference but did anyone else here was the old Britcom “Keeping Up Appearances”? Cause I was getting serious Bouquet/Bucket energy from Daisy. 
This is an all College Humor season and it shows. The energy of 6 (7 if you count Brennan) top notch comedians sparking off of each other, trying to one up each other is off the charts. Some of the best bits this episode:
“When God closes every door but one, you go through the door that is open.” followed by “I’m an owl by the way.”
“Time is money, here’s both” from Buck re his inscribed gold pocket watch--everyone at the table loved that so much and they’re right. 
Armond going from being a third to a fourth wheel. 
And the names--I already shouted out a ton on the main recap but also a rat butler (like Rhett Butler) and naming the mouse Cat(therine). Can’t forget Gangie Green/gangrene from Katie. Also points to Ally for the data stealing Eel Musk which broke Brennan a little. 
I know we just went through this with Crown of Candy but what are these animals eating? Like, in Zootopia there were only mammals so we can assume the carnivores are eating like birds and fish but there are sentient birds here. I know this isn’t important. I’m not trying to do a CinemaSins gotcha. I just wonder, you know?
Y’all were waiting for all the lights to go out during that speech and then come back on and there’d be a body too, right?
If Brennan makes the bad guy a chicken or a duck or something so he can make a “fowl play” joke, he is cordially invited to catch these hands. 
I have been waiting for Raph and Katie to do D20 forever. Their specific brand of nonsense on Rank Room was always amazing. 
I love love love that Grant and Rekha are the PCs that have ~a past~ because they are so funny together. If you haven’t seen their episode of Game Changers, you absolutely must (it’s also a murder mystery actually!).

Theory About Stanley Pines in his Twenties
When rewatching “A Tale of Two Stans” I simply couldn’t get over the peso in Stan’s pocket and lack of information thereof why it’s there. We already know he can speak fluent Spanish, so what on Earth was he doing in Mexico? Stan’s number one goal is stated, “to get rich” so why is he in Mexico? I have a plausible answer.
The majority of crime in Mexico, given that Gravity Falls refers to real places a lot, is assault and theft. Now, I’m a betting canine, and I’m going to guess that theft would more than likely be the reason Stan would be in the area. What could he be stealing though? Money? An artifact? Either way, he’s obviously broke once he’s back in the US and staying in New Mexico - a penny is worth much more than a single peso. So he’s not partaking in these types of crime. 
If Stan was close to the border, which I have suspicions he must have been, then there is reason to believe that at one point the man was a part of a cartel; a Mexican Mafia. The majority of cartels are drug operated, and with the pun of “pug trafficking”, this makes it even more solid. Many can also include extortion, insider trading, and illegal gambling. How does any of this work to make money though? 
No matter what branch Stan had done (drugs, most definitely), it had to do with money laundering. This is where money is gained by illegally-gained proceeds (dirty money) and made to appear legal, clean. Typically, it involves three steps: placement, layering, and integration. First, the illegitimate money is put into legitimate financial systems, then the money is moved around to create confusion, sometimes by wiring or transferring through numerous accounts. It will be integrated into the financial system multiple times until eventually it appears clean through additional transactions; both national and international. (Even more of those fake ids are making sense now.)
There are MANY ways to do this, but for the sake of an educated guess, I’m willing to say that Stan was in on a shelling company. Now before anyone takes this as “wow Stan is a mob boss,” he most certainly is not. He would be regarded as a Straw Man, which is someone who has no value whatsoever that criminals basically rent out to make these fake little companies to shell in the dirty money. A business that goes like this, “Hey I have wet towels for sale! Also cocaine if you wink at me a few times!” Who was making a lot of little companies during his twenties? Stanley Pines. Seems like the kind of thing he would be good at.
Networks of cartels will use ordinary people strapped for cash for this kind of work all the time, every time- housewives, students, a twenty something year old with a criminal background that’s trying to make it rich. In no means, though, was Stan ever going to make it rich. People like that, like him, are picked because they are disposable. 
These little fish swimming in such a big pond usually end up murdered by actual respected members of the cartel, or arrested because they simply weren’t very good at being criminals. Well, Stanley is good at it. SO, in the scene where he’s talking about paying back “Rico’s goons” and he immediately is grabbing a bat, to me, is super dark. This can be viewed as Alex’s humor, yes, but it is actually the exact kind of move we see in serious movies about drug cartels - where the boss, or some affiliate, comes knocking on the motel/dead end flats door late one night where our anti-hero is staying. 
Stanley without a doubt was a part of one of these schemes. I don’t think he was really borrowing money like the scene will have you believe without some thought and I don’t think the word “goons” is thrown in there just as Stan’s dialect. No, I think Stanley jumped ship, crossed the border, and he was holding onto what little he could when he did. There’s a reason most members of a cartel end up dead; because they know and also they owe. The money earned via shelling is never yours to keep - it’s dirty money to be put into the scheme. 
The takeaway just makes me feel more sympathetic to Stanley and what he went through versus Stanford “I didn’t get my dream school” petty Pines. Both valid in their hurt, but seriously so immature. 
Of course, all of this is speculation, but that postcard sure came in at a good time.
