alright, i'm going to go ahead and made a rant post about this car situation just so i can get it out and put it to bed. I don't mind if yall wanna comment or whatever but after this I'm just done.
So we need to go back almost a year. My car at the time seemed to be on its last legs. There was a repair it needed that was going to cost like $1200 and I had already paid close to that amount just a few months prior for another repair. I didn't want to pay that again but was willing to save up until it was suggested that I start looking for another car.
I will give my dad props for this one and only thing. He held my hand during this process bc it was my first time. Every other car I had, had been gifted by my grandparents. This was my first time shopping for one. Now it gets interesting bc instead of just getting rid of my old car, my grandparents were going to foot the $1200 bill anyway so that my brother could get it.
I felt iffy about that situation but figured it was for the best since I'd be getting a vehicle with no problems. The problem came about when he decided to drive it around and rack up tickets while MY name was still on the title (this cause my insurance premium to shoot thru the roof but thankfully i got it fixed). I literally had to escort my brother to the DMV to sort out all the paperwork and even THEN he took forever to actually change the plates so I was STILL getting tickets on my record and I had to be the one to go and take what were still my license plates off the car.
This could have potentially been an asshole move, bc I had no idea where his new plates were, but that's not my responsibility. Lucky for him, the new plates were where? In the car, bc he never did anything with them after our DMV appointment. This all occurred in summer/fall 2023.
Then in December, he starts having problems with that car. It even stops on him a couple of times. There is talks of him getting another one. Just like me, all of his (many) previous cars were gifts from our grandparents. I should have probably said earlier but these are all USED cars. We're not getting brand new ones, but still, good condition that we've never had to pay a cent for.
It's also worth mentioning that in the like....six months my brother has had my old car he got hundreds of dollars worth of tickets. Not a single one he paid on his own. Either I took care of it bc they were in my name and he's literally gone to court for not paying, or my dad has paid. But I feel like I'm digressing.
About last week, he curses out my mom because she asks him to *checks notes* receive his infant child when his baby mama drops her off. Apparently that was disagreeable and he cursed her out on the phone, then later to her face when she got home. The part that stuck out in his rant to me was that no one in our family had ever done anything for him. I think just from what I've stated above, it's pretty obvious to see that's false.
So whyyyyyyy
Why why why
After that breakdown, my dad and grandparents thought "Let's just give him another car"?
It is exhausting to see the same thing happen again and again. But this time kind of burned me bad because he got the exact same car that I have. The one I had to shop for. The one I had to visit sellers for. The one I am currently on the hook for a $10,000 loan with like 15% interest. My mother told me this was the case but I didn't actually see the car until this morning.
Here's where I give my dad the benefit of the doubt a single time: It's a common car, dealers have a ton of them, it's probably still an attractive price range. And that's the end of it.
But what I see, is that I can do everything I was told to do: do well in school, get a degree, get a job, start building my career. And it gets me virtually the same as if I did none of those things and on top of it disrespected my parents to their faces.
Like really, why am I working so hard? If doing what I do gets me the same as a foul mouthed, lazy ass, ungrateful son who's shackin up with the most frustrating baby mama in the world then what the hell is this all for anyway?

"Roy wouldn't like Jason! They have completely opposing ideologies! It's out of character for Roy!"
Jason was a general menace that kidnapped Mia for one conversation in a pathetic attempt to convince her to abandon Ollie and partner with him instead. He kills criminals, but only criminals. His mindset as Red Hood is "I'm protecting civilians by killing criminals"
Jade is a mercenary, an assassin, someone who kills people for money regardless of whether or not they're a criminal and has no problem killing people without monetary incentive. Roy fell in love with her. The government told him to bring her in, since she's a mercenary, and he fell in love with her and didn't bring her in, indirectly allowing her to continue to kill people.
Out of character my ass.

issai gokudera facts! 🎸
issai was born on april fool's day! (april 1) he's an aries.
he was born in kawasaki, japan. and was brought to the states at 15 years old.
he's 6"1. (187 cm.) depending on the shoe's platform, he can easily hit the 6"5 ballpark.
issai's parents divorced when he was just a small child, and raised by his mother who often struggled to make ends meet.
he's 27 years old.
he's a tattoo artist and piercer. he's done almost all of his piercings (except for his tongue piercings) on himself, and 10 of his major tattoos.
issa used to be a school bully. though his main target were athletes.
by the time he was in middle school, issai had already joined a small-time gang. his first crimes were aggravated arson and vandalism of private property.
he has court-mandated anger management classes and therapy sessions, which seem to have a (somewhat) positive impact on his impulse control. although what truly set him on the path to becoming more mature and socially adept is his 3-year-old. she's his entire world and would die for her.
issai is the middle child on his father's side of the family. he is his mother's second and youngest child.
his scarily deep voice along with a solid blend of japanese-new york accent generally catches others off guard, and makes for interesting conversation-starters.
issai worked at a fast food restaurant once, but got fired shortly after beating a guy's face in with a metal tray for spitting on him and calling him a racist slur. to this day, issai does not regret his actions one bit.
issai's a natural brunette. his mother hotly disputes he was a dirty blonde when he was an infant, however.
his fave genres of music are either hip-hop or screamo.

Man am I bummed about this. I've been chanting "Two man enter! One man leave!" off and on since I heard they wanted to fight
It probably wouldn't have gone over very well for Elon, though. The Zuck seems like he has a lot of pent up rage, and Elon is pretty much a fat tub of shit. Not even hiring Top G(astrointestinal defect) Andrew Taint would have helped.
