#tax breaks or something

[cptnghoulowl]

So I've been playing Star Rail and from what I've seen, basically the main trio are SIBLINGS. I love them.

the thought of icemav celebrating christmas together makes me a bit crazy. what do they give each other???

usually nothing . That’s kind of a big deal. in the 80s/90s they’d (reluctantly) celebrate Christmas with carole and bradley (who took that shit kinda seriously) so they wouldn’t really do anything by themselves. Maybe go out for a nice clandestine dinner just cause. After Carole dies and Bradley’s papers get pulled from the academy, ice’s low key newfound interest in celebrating christmas is one of his many many ways to try and normalize relations between him & maverick and try to improve their relationship in the conspicuous absence of the rest of their family. but yes he does make an effort—as does mav—to take advantage of holiday time to be with him as often as possible so, though their schedules don’t always line up, after 2006 they spend about 3/4 xmases together

Ice has very few hobbies besides a.) lovingly working on his cars & plane and b.) reading, so he is exceptionally easy to shop for (as most hobbyless men are): nice tie pins, cufflinks, those unnecessarily expensive hardcover books about weird random topics you find in airport bookstores, fountain pens, nautical /aeronautical themed paperweights, nice leather watchbands etc. highbrow rich guy stuff

Maverick has sooooo many stupid little hobbies that each last between 4-6 months so he is ridiculously hard to shop for— “i thought you were into woodworking so i got you some tools :)!” “uh no that was in April. im trying to learn how to make wallets now” :( so mostly if ice ever gets him anything it’s usually just an expensive dinner date in the city or cash in a blank card or a blank signed check for airplane parts for the next year. Buy whatever you want idc <3

any and all gifts are given with extremely little fanfare PLEASE don’t make it a big deal… hidden around the house with a little “merry xmas!” note attached, or shoved into each others suitcases pre-leaving-for-navy-reasons, or unceremoniously dropped into one’s lap while he’s watching tv, “here you go,” “oh, this is nice, thanks!” Et cetera. love language of gifts/acts of service, but, like, very quietly.

#baby’s just making shit up now #in the mid-2010s they realize the potential of the hangar to have a >10ft xmas tree so that becomes a tradition late on in their rlnship #holy shit the ceiling is so high we could get like a 14fter in here #uhhh no my back will give out if we try to carry it in #etc etc #every place ice goes internationally he starts buying Xmas ornaments #daydreaming of Christmas with maverick #can’t wait can’t wait can’t wait :)))) #pete maverick mitchell #tom iceman kazansky #icemav #top gun #asks #ice & mav both have undiagnosed adhd this is a hc ive had for a full fucking year now #ice can read a 400 pg book in one sitting & mav has to take breaks every five minutes when he does taxes #or something #you guys ask me for headcanons and it’s usually just ‘imagine what two really repressed guys would do’ lol #but thanks for the ask! #even after they get married it’s still the opposite of a big deal #it’s just a little smth nice :) tokens of friendship/affection either way

sawyer was sick over the weekend so we got some blood tests done and it turns out she is diabetic, she stayed at the vet a couple of nights, it was really strange to be alone in my room those nights. i spend more time with her than anybody. then we were supposed to pick her up thursday morning and they said to come in the evening instead because her glucose was v low. the vet asked me to find a glucose sensor to bring with me that evening, it was a public holiday so i had to find a pharmacy that was actually open. when we went to get her we waited 90 minutes and the sensor was being weird so they said come back later. finally brought her back home at 11pm and the sensor still wasn't working, had to go buy another sensor and bring her back this morning to switch them out, had to leave her there for a few hours so they could switch them and make sure the new one worked, then come back in the afternoon. i've had like no sleep at all this week, its a miracle i kept my eyes open to get training to give her insulin. she's so much better since she came home, even though she's not stabilised yet she very clearly feels heaps better ❤ it was such a relief to have her sleeping on my bed again last night. i was still up all night because i felt like i needed to keep an eye on her because i didn't have the monitor. we'll be in and out a lot over the next couple of weeks while they fine tune her dosage and monitor her levels.

#i want to know when i get a break #had planed to use this week to catch up on the prof development course i enrolled in months ago that started the day before nonna passed #i hoped it would be a chance to really apply my mind to something because i feel like my brain is utterly degenerated #after the time i took off this week for this i won't be able to do any of it before it closes i'll just have to download the modules #and read them in my own time without doing any activities/participating in discussions #have to keep canceling my dental check up because things keep coming up #i've also spent the last few weeks trying to link my online tax account to my government services account but it says all my info is wrong #no matter what i give them #what do i need to do #my life updates are so miserable. i delete so many of the posts i start because they just depress me #i deleted two earlier this week #feel like i need to get something out so i keep coming back to try #i still haven't asked hr about whether we have that counselling service thing because i keep forgetting bc i always have so much to catch u #on #i'll try to remember to do it next week #tp

man another thing that's been very nice about having moved out of my dad's house is that... i am under no obligation to convey anything to anyone <3 i don't have to tell my parents about my doctor appointments, i don't have to tell people my intentions, i don't have to defend making purchases or arranging my life in a way that makes things easier or more pleasant because people don't even have to know about these things in the first place.

it's really fucking nice.

#experienced the unfortunate combination of 'pathological anti-liar' and 'being a fucking doormat by nature or whatever' #and 'controlling father that has to know everything and will directly curtail any attempts at privacy with guilt and authority' #that i sometimes compulsively try to make someone understand things about me even when it the direct outcome of such is unpleasant #here's to breaking these habits lads #discovering that i can do things and have preferences without going to protestant hell or even worse dealing with my dad #i can even pay my Idiot Tax without the external application of guilt #that is payments or late fees or forgetting to return something that doesn't fit and et cetera #that sometimes come up on account of being a fucking mess LMAO and would be less of a thing if i achieved a level of organization #that i simply will not realistically reach at this juncture but am generally working on getting myself in order for #i just make sure i routinely set aside a lil money for potential mistakes and i deal with them as they come #without the song and dance of being actively and repeatedly scolded as an adult for regular person mistakes #prattling about the self #edit to note that yeah i know there are times when i should convey things to people but you know what i mean

Please let this line be foreshadowing for Buck realizing he should be with someone who sees him for himself (Eddie), not for what he’s been through (Natalia).

My durge and Gortash’s relationship is like. Two horrible little best friends who put an amazing amount of trust in each other despite their positions and generally horrible personalities making it more or less impossible. They’ve known each other carnally and robbed a few supposedly unrobable places. It ain’t true but it is love.

#also my durge is a huge dnd pot head and a deeply capable monster of epic proportions #Aku is like cercei Lannister motivated by love to even more psychotic extents who also thinks hunting people is a delightful pastime #something something volo said all spawn are coins landing on their sides #he swings from being totally okay #even happy #with his occupation as anti christ #only to fall into short lived but deeply tumultuous periods of meloncholy or breaks INTO reality #where he may not regret his choices but he does regret bhaal and knowing he will never see an end to being father dears perpetual servant #no escape no life beyond this tiny little existence he didn’t get a choice in #he fully slides up to my quasi immortal tav multiple times #still brain damaged #and is like the things I could do to your body over and over and over again baby… #tomoko voice are you flirting with me or threatening me? #Aku voice oh baby it’s a prommy #anyhow durge is a funny tyrannical god complexer who says shit like ‘you approached the blunt with a heavy karmic debt’ after eating #an inn keepers face off and doing some very suggestive tongue stuff before he sucked out his eyeballs like other people suck out gogurt #has had like twenty kids tried to give Enver a kid (his? not? does it matter #take the honor you little worm) a kid only to be bitterly disappointed each time #would love to do some laundry and taxes #nic plays bg3 #they show up to the function (post bg3 events where gortash lives) lookin real good only to go hooooow could you cheat on me like this #(they are both fucking or wooing different people now)

i want to paint, but autism is hungry and needs to be fed 8hrs of skyrim a day

#i'm trying to set up to paint bc i want to!! but every bone in my body says no #i'm gonna feel sad and disappointed in myself if i don't paint because i want to actually *do* something #and not spend this whole weekend having barely even scraped the surface of what i truly genuinely wanted to do #and instead just burn away the time looking at skyrim #i'm not even really having all that much fun playing it!!! but i can't break away from it #which isn't always a bad thing especially on week days but? on a long weekend where i want to enjoy myself?? #and i can't because my brain won't let me??? not fun!!! #painting is so boring and understimulating and my brain is way too foggy right now to think about mixing colors and layering #(secretly i don't even want to paint i just want to feel satisfied at creating a thing!!) (my brain is too fried to hold a thought long #enough to do the physical action of painting! it sounds wayyyy too daunting and taxing right now!!) #but if i spend this whole weekend having sat on my ass doing nothing will i feel rested? no!!! #but if i spend all my energy doing A Hobby will i feel rested? also no!!! but then i'll at least have something to show for it #i'm riling myself up and i feel like i ALMOST could make myself paint right now #but as soon as i think of what it will feel like to sit here and focus and move my hands to do the painting my brain screams NO #and sure i can argue i'll feel better if i do it i'll be glad if i do it and it'll be easier once i start #but this isn't the walk i took yesterday (that i was glad i took but still felt like garbage after) #i WANTED to take a walk. i was just struggling with the level of exertion i could manage (walk my neighborhood or drive 30min to the park?) #my brain is latching on to 8hrs a day of skyrim bc that's all i have the energy for #work has been killing me #and it's so painfully bright in my apartment but i can't close the curtains bc i need all the sunlight i can get #i WANT to have the energy to paint and enjoy it but i just don't.... (but i feel like if i Give In to the exhaustion then i'm #no better than my mom who just sits around all day refusing to live her life bc she refuses to take care of herself. #and calls sitting perfectly still—instead of actuvely managing her condition—'not letting her disability win') #(so i don't want to be that. i don't want to waste away like my mom bemoaning how i Just Can't when i totally can!!! #i could push through this exhaustion and hype myself up but the only thing i'm going to be thinking about is Am I Done Yet? Can I Rest Now?) #and i can't convince myself that 'just paint for 30min' is worth it bc mixing paint and setting up is Just So Much #enough that 'just 30min' is a lie and not a legitimate out if i need it to be #i need to commit or not do it. and i just can't......... my eyes hurt and i'm tured and i just wanna play my game #and all this indecision and feeling like i'm wasting time is just making me want to cry. im gonna close the curtains and boot up the xbox;( #personal

What Tarot Card Are You?

the sun

light follows behind your heels. the daylight yields to your shining face. it is difficult to compare such radiance to anything but the sun. bright and warm, people seem to gravitate toward you for your never-ending optimism and the positivity you exude. but it tires you, doesn't it? the constant smiles, the ceaseless extension of yourself? does it not make you burn? do not allow yourself to fizzle out. / NUMBER: 19 / UPRIGHT: positivity, fun, warmth, success, vitality / REVERSED: inner child, feeling down, overly optimistic

#( what if we rewrite the stars ⋆｡°✩ ) about #( dancing in the moonlight ⋆｡°✩ ) dash games #((''But it tires you doesn't it?'' It does. It absolutely does. #Sometimes she just wants to scream or cry or punch a wall or something but she DOESN'T. #Not unless she finally breaks anyway. #Otherwise she keeps up the optimistic sunshine mask because she feels the need to keep people happy- #and more importantly- not annoyed / upset with her.)) #((Some days it's easy but some days it's so incredibly taxing...)) #((That said- if she ever tells you she's just ''tired'' or she seems like she's coming up with some excuse not to hang out #it's probably because she's at her limit and needs to recharge or she'll burst into tears at the first small inconvenience or issue ^^;))

paid some bills and now I can't kill myself like I want too

#omg kiera no one cares #i want my money back u bitch #held at gunpoint by my parents to pay something which is what debt collectors should do #like oh your credit i don't even know what mine is i don't care at all #i just barely started making enough for taxes like last year you think i care or know about credit?? #tell me you're gonna break my already fragile kneecaps if i don't give you at least 15 dollars

.

#that soul-crushing feeling when you want to do something substantial for people that are suffering #where you want to help and save them but know that no matter what you do‚ your government Will Not Do Anything #where you've sent emails and shared the posts and signed the positions but your shit-ass government isn't going to stop aiding the #side of the oppressors #i have been unmedicated and thoughts of self harm trickle through my head constantly throughout the day #my thoughts upon waking up and seeing more distressing news about Gaza were 'if i killed myself‚ at least my tax money wouldn't be funnelled #into this genocide of the Palestinian people. at least i would take direct action and stop any of my money from being used that way' #i'm very. not well. my heart absolutely breaks for Palestine #and it shatters under the weight of guilt i feel for not being able to stop what's happening to them #for what my government is allowing to happen to them

speaking of onion boy (onision)... a very funny/strange/interesting memory i have is that my very first original post on this site when i joined nearly a decade ago was... a multi-paragraph rant absolutely ripping that man a new one because i could see exactly what kind of soulless excuse for a human being he really was and i was frustrated that this concept was not grasped by... his audience of people my age at the time. no introductory post no "how do i use this site" post no nothing. i just came in swinging with pure hatred in my heart.

#tags are not funny btw i am recounting some memory of that idiot. #this was... 2014? i think... #his empire hadn't collapsed yet. #nowadays he's the indebted lunatic who doesn't break over 10k views unless he's going ape. #i haven't kept up with the 'saga' since the Chris Hanson thing. fucker. #does he still owe taxes? and that thing about the... wetlands..? #someone who keeps up with Onision in the legal sense tell me what's happening. #the most recent video i directly watched from his channel voluntarily #was before i made that first ever post and i think it was him trying to tell 'the truth' about his prior relationships. #he made fun of a previous relationship and tried to spin his ex as being crazy. #i don't know if what followed was a reenactment from him or actual footage of something. #he had. way too many videos of real confrontations or lunatic shit from his end. i couldn't tell you if it was an attempt at a story. #either way i came away from the video with an understanding that i was looking at someone who enjoyed inflicting torment. #like that was. startlingly clear to me. and i didn't understand why nobody else recognised it at the time. #just a completely empty human being. #his video where... i don't remember the full thing i just remember he talked about why he was discharged from the military. #i saw it as an attempt to take heat off himself by talking about his problems or whatever. #that was the moment i decided to make the post. like i remember it now. #anyway the spirit of guard-dog barking at weirdo men is alive and well within me. #ask anyone who has had to put up with me long enough for this to be obvious. #i might delete this post later... i don't like talking at-length in this kind of manner anymore.

Has anyone tried to make a religion around preserving knowledge? And not just the usual religious texts, I mean like anything that could hold a story.

That old scratched bootleg cd that skips and is only 78% garbled, woven shawls that the old woman down the road made before her hands became too gnarled to knit that the curators wear with pride, a folder filled with images of poetry carved into the flesh of fruit, a shitty crossover fanfic scrawled out on the margins of a 13-year-old's math homework, a wax cylinder filled the voice of some long gone soul dreaming about their wedding day, old dead shopping centers turned into cathedrals housing dusty clay bowls from when your cousin down the road took a crafting class with ancient flopy-disks next to massive servers filled with miles of books and data available to all no matter what time of day.

All are welcome in the homes of knowledge regardless of their age, race, and creed. There is no customary tithe only to line the clergy's pockets (all we ask is a story in turn), no demanding of one's presence and time (but shall one offer it will be accepted with grace.) So long as one seeks to preserve the stories of their fellows rather than opt to destroy the efforts of their kin then they shall be welcomed with open arms.

After all what type of librarian would willingly let their Alexandria burn?

#DS7's Log #Didn't exactly intend to turn this into a writing piece but here you go lol #I feel like I kind of let it get away from me but no regrets lmao. #This reminds me of a quote I remember hearing once #'We are the stories we tell ourselves in the dark of night. Hold tightly to their light lest it end in tragedy.' #Lol if a book club got tax breaks would they fund a bunch of unconventional non-profit universities and musume/libraries #or just buy more books? #Yes. #Probably call it something kickass too #like #'Legacy of Alexandria' or #'Church of the Scribe'

i hope to see the dismantlement of capitalism in my lifetime and i mean it

#it feels like it's bound to get to its breaking point any moment now #something has Got to give dude #people are just going to get more and more hopeless until they just get angry #there's barely anything left for the rich and powerful to take from us #they are leeching us of every cent we could possibly give them and deriving us of joys for tax write-offs so they keep more money #it's. really painful to live in this world right now. but i can only do my best to live one day to the next #i hate that it's so hard to live without dreading something every day

😩

#man I’m fucking exhausted #I decided in the middle of the day since my boss is off that I was finally gonna hang my curtain rods #and I’m sure I did something wrong because it was taxing as fuck but I got them up #and then I vacuumed. dusted. and mopped #then I went grocery shopping out in the fucking 7° F weather #THEN I had to break down a giant ass box and hang up a giant bulletin board my mom shipping me #and I’m finally done that 😭 #miscellaneous #I was entertaining the idea of doing a meet up tomorrow but considering the high is 17°F and it’s a hike to get there #like yeah nah #video chatting friends at least tomorrow
