I know I've been neglecting my Tumblr as of late regarding my art, so to remedy that I have decided to dump my newest sans OCS on you and (mostly) all their information :3

Heres pt 2 with Plum and Cypher;)

Enjoy

First up is!

Cassiopeia, or Cassie for short is the Sans of this universe(which I don't have a name for yet) she is 5'2 and trans.

Her drink of choice is tea! all kinds, she's not picky! She actually is a bit of a connoisseur when it comes to the stuff. And when she wants to treat herself she likes to add condiments to her cup to add a bit of flavor.

Her personality is similar to og sans but she's a lot more elegant in her mannerisms. She's also VERY slow to anger/irritation and even slower to show it. Let's just say, never play poker with her.

She still has 1 hp, and isn't a fan of physical combat. She likes being covert and subdues any treats with the stardust that surrounds her skull. As when inhaled it can give the victim a calming effect or put them into a deep sleep, depending on how much they've puffed. She does also have bones and blasters but rarely needs to use them due to her stardust being so effective.

Instead of being a quantum physics nerd, Cassie is a medical doctor. I'm not sure what specifically but what I do know is that she is very educated on human Bodies and monster souls. She had tried to learn quantum physics when she was younger but it just didn't click with her, she was never a numbers gal.

I like to imagine she's friends with Baggs sans or Wine. For Baggs, I think they would grow close while having deep conversations about their respective jobs and tell stories about all the crazy injuries they've had to deal with. That, and she can use her stardust to put him to sleep, that's my head canon at least. She also likes teasing him about his height, she thinks his reactions are hilarious.

As for Wine, i feel like they like debating each other. Their favorite topic to debate over being what's the better drink, wine or tea. And let me tell ya, it will get very intense. And not in the 'toss a couple chairs at each other' kinda way, more so in the calm on the surface yet internally wishing death upon the other, all in good fun of course. The most hostile thing they'd do to each other is send a passive aggressive yet deeply accurate comment. Sometimes Coffee likes to sit in the corner and listen to them while he draws, it's good background noise.

As for Papyrus or Zephyr,

His personality is a lot like og pap, just more blunt and a lot more willing to initiate a friendly sparring session.

He's kind of a gym junkie, always training out to get stronger. He absolutely LOVES working out and even has weighted plating for his boots, gauntlets, shoulder and knee pads.

Due to his love for sparring, he often gets into friendly brawls with the other members of the royal guard stationed in snowdin, and has beaten every single one. These feats were obviously reported to Undyne. And Undyne, Impressed by his feats, offered Zeph a position in the royal guard. Papyrus obviously was ecstatic, and accepted immediately.

However due to actually getting a position in the royal guard, the rose tinted glasses he'd always held onto have been a bit wiped down due to the actual nature of the guard not being quite what he expected. Still though, he holds out hope for all the fame and recognition he rightfully deserves.

Zephyr is a full on tank when it comes to fighting, he's a heavy hitter and very agile, even with his weighted gear. He mainly uses punches and kicks for precise direct hits but isn't afraid to give his appoint a good knee or elbow to throw them off.

His weapons of choice are brass knuckles, they pack a punch on their own but when he's feeling a bit murdery, he's able to reinforce them with his magic.

Besides training he also loves to paint. Any blank surface you can think of, he's painted on. He's painted his armor, shorts, safety pads, and his own face!

He even paints on lashes to match with Cassie's (which are made of magic). He changes the paint on his face everyday, it's always something new but he seems to favor cloud and sun motifs.

When Zeph isnt training he is always neck deep in a painting project, weather it be one he was working on for several days or a new idea he just made up and really wanted to do. Sometimes he has Cassie help with some of his projects, though she either lazily draws a sick man, or a handprint. Typical lazy sans behavior, it annoys Zeph to no end but he never paints over any additions made

Due to being a Doctor, Cassie is a slight germaphobe(more so in her workplace) but she puts that aside and gets her hands dirty for him

The clouds around his head change with his mood Like pepa from encanto. He can also manipulate them, making the clouds big and fluffy to ride on or catch someone when falling, or even creating fog or mist to act like a smoke screen.

Zephyr's dish of choice is pastries, some witch he lends to Cassie to go with her tea. It's more of a casual thing than something he's passionate about though

Next up is my favorite at the moment! OUTCODE: E770R2095E!! Or Code:E for short! Pronounced Cody ;)

He his, like his name states, an outcode. However no one really knows where he comes from. Ink's theory is that he was supposed to be an error sans, but something went wrong and now he's just here.

He exists somewhere in the anti-void, no where close to Error, seeing as how he had no idea Code:E existed for the longest time. Having nothing to do with his time, he sits in the anti-void going over codes.

When he's eventually discovered by Error, immediately Error is pissed as he feels Code:E is trying to copy him. And true to his title, he tries to destroy Code:E. However, it didn't quite work out. Every time Error tried attacking, it had always just fazed through him, leaving Code:E completely unbothered. Eventually he finds that Code:E has no soul. Due to this he has no emotions and Error can't check his code, and even if he tried it would be completely an utter gibberish.

Dispite not having any actual emotions, he has this inate want to learn and grow, asking questions about anything and everything. He often gets compared to an AI by Error because of this.

He has no real powers or magic but can copy the code of any sans type just by looking at them, other outcodes included. And when I say copy, I mean copy. With one look he knows all about you, your au, your powers, everything. Usually when this happens his eyes gloss over with static as he lists everything he sees in the code out loud.

Being able to copy code, he is also able to copy the appearance of the sans he sees and even use their magic.

When he can't do something or is just thinking really hard on one thing in particular, Code:E's eyes get staticy and his form glitches a helluva lot more.

He can also create portals to other universes with the pink tear like glitches under his eyes. Though he never uses it, as he never sees the need to. He mostly uses them to observe and learn about the multiverse. He spends most of his time sitting in the little anti-void where he first was created. Just sitting there.

Doing nothing.

All alone.

Well, not totally. Due to Error being a complete drama queen, he often complains about Code:E aloud allowing Ink to overhear. And ink, like the nosy like little shit he is, annoys Error to show him what's got his strings all bundled up. He eventually caved and led Ink to Code:E. And after a pretty disturbing interaction, Ink complains to the star sans' about him. Upon hearing it, Dream, always with the bleeding heart, decides to visit Code:E and announces that they're friends. Code:E doesn't quite understand it, but goes along anyway as Dream teaches him about more aus and how emotions work. Even so, he rarely has time to visit due to his role in the multiverse.

But their is one person who does visit regularly..

And his name is-

RETRO!! A fellow outcode!

He's a very outgoing and rambunctious spirit, going all around all kinds of AUs to do anything he wants! Weather that be wreaking havoc with pranks or just relaxing under the stars in outertale. However due to his chaotic neutral nature, he often has run-ins with both the star sans' AND the bad sans' usually having to escape in outrageous ways and hide in the anti-void for a few hours.

And during one of his little escapades, into the anti-void he meets Code:E. At first he's startled, especially when Code:E tries copying Retro's code, and can't. Leaving Code:E perplexed and Intrigued as this had never happened with any sans he had seen. He asks all sorts of questions about Retro, some more personal than others, and after giving some non answers Retro asks about Code:E.

Code:E is absolutely floored(as floored as one with no soul can be) as no one had actually asked him anything about what he wanted to do or needed. He told him as such and for some reason, this had hit Retro directly in the soul. He had found it relatable. And so from that moment forward, Retro vowed to be Code:E's friend. He even gave Code:E his nickname. And later, his poncho.

I bet your wondering about the gell I described in the photo, well it's simple really. It's basically the gels from Portal. THATS RIGHT IM UNORIGINAL!! FUCKING SUE ME!! /J

HE ALSO HAS PORTALS HA!

In all seriousness though, yes I did just give him the powers from Portal, and yes he can make actual portals, but these help him travel through aus. The portals are his magic while he made the gel with science. For his portals idk if I want it to only work on white surfaces so that can be up to interpretation

Alright that's all the info I got! Here are the doodles I have that I have no idea where to put! The ones with Cassie and Zeph are a bit old so plz ignore any design inconsistencies!

Nightmare and Dr Baggs discuss literature, in a scenario where Baggs joins the Bad Sans Crew.

This was only meant to be a few sentences, whu happun

It had taken some time to settle in to his new situation, kept in employ by Nightmare and living on-site in his castle.

The work wasn't the difficult part, he was a professional and in his element.

The trouble was... Well, he had a lot more freedom to push himself beyond his physical limits back home, when HE was the boss. It seemed the entire crew was bent on making sure he kept 'appropriate' hours. Honestly, it was bad enough that he wasted so much time SLEEPING (he was eternally grateful for Nightmare's assistance, don't get him wrong).

Nightmare INSISTED he take more leisure time, and bond with his new team. He wasn't in any position to argue, his new boss was very much immune to his power, he was thoroughly outmatched.

So, that's where he found himself, lounging on a comfortable seat in the drawing room, one leg propped up on an arm and one dangling off, with a thick leather bound book in one hand, and a flute of wine in the other. The boys were hooting and hollering as they squished together on the couch and played something on the their rather wide television called "Smash Brothers".

The temperature in the room very slightly dropped and the shadows in the corners deepened, as they often did on the arrival of the castle's master. He finished the line he was reading before he glanced up, meeting the eye of his superior now perched on the arm of the boys' couch with his legs folded and elbows resting on his knee, a flute of the same wine between his fingers.His tentacles swayed languidly behind him, and pulsed slightly, he seemed to be feeding off the anguish of Cross, who was shouting something about being ganged up on.

He paid no mind to the scene behind him, Nightmare's full attention was on Baggs at this moment, regarding him with interest.

"How are you finding the new addition to the cast?"

It appeared he was correct in assuming the impressive library was not just for show, if Nightmare was familiar with the one he held in his hands. He was floored upon discovering the room in his exploration, his hand had trailed across well worn covers of so many books he had never even heard of. Granted, he only had what trash fell into the Underground, where Nightmare had access to untold worlds worth of stories. What marvels must he have collected here?

Imagine his delight, then, when he discovered on those shelves the sequel to a book he had read many times over! Finally, that awful cliffhanger would haunt him no more!

... Having said that.

"They're derivative of the main character, and baked in so much cliche, I struggle to understand their inclusion at all."

He found it useless to even try to lie to a being who could sense emotion, one even more sharply perceptive than himself. His blunt honesty was always a risk of Nightmare's ire, so he was surprised when the god barked a laugh instead.

"I thought much the same on my very first read through. Imagine my surprise when by the end of the novel, they became my favourite character."

Baggs blinked, he hadn't been expecting that. He glanced back down to his book, as if it may reveal a detail he had missed.

Nightmare grinned, and took a sip of his own drink "Though perhaps I should hold my tongue, I would not want to spoil it."

Baggs marked his place and closed the cover, leaving it in his lap. "I trust it's alright that I borrowed it?"

He waved him off casually "I'm pleased someone other than myself stepped foot in the pride of my castle, for once."

"The boys not ones for reading, then?" He glanced at said boys, still entrenched in the battle of 'Poke' Floats'.

"Academic conversation is hard to come by here, I'm afraid." He grimaced, though there was no heat behind it. It was clear how endeared he was to his little party of meat heads.

The god of negativity continued to surprise him, since he was whisked away suddenly from his home with little choice in the matter. His presence then had been oppressively intimidating, and even Baggs didn't dare imagine the kind of horrors he may be forced to commit under such a man's employ.

It turned out, he was to nurse back to health a squad of trigger happy fools, who had all been injured so badly that Nightmare had been forced to seek his help. The intimidating facade had crumbled underneath his clear worry, anxiously hovering over Baggs's shoulder as he mended broken bones.

Since then they'd all fully recovered back to their usual, rowdy selves, and he had settled into somewhat of a school nurse role. Compared to his work at home, this was a vacation.

He had struggled to understand why he had not been tossed back into a portal as soon as his purpose had been fulfilled. He expected there may be some dangerous mission he would be wrangled into, making use of his unique abilities of control. But no, Nightmare seemed more than content with the doctor's contributions, even pulling him away from his work personally to relax with the rest of them for 'family dinner'.

But to suggest Nightmare kept him around for company? As if they would start up a book club and gush over mutual interests in high fantasy? Ridiculous.

... And yet. He eyed Nightmare curiously over the rim of his flute as he emptied it. A tentacle came into view with the bottle and topped off his glass swiftly after.

Well. He may be kept here for a while yet, he might as well find more books to occupy his enforced leisure time.

"That is a shame, such an impressive collection going unappreciated. My own salvaged few truly pale in comparison."

Nightmare preened, sitting slightly straighter "I have spent a century collecting the best offerings of the multiverse."

Baggs's smirk grew in satisfaction, the way it often would when he had a monster in the palm of his hand, an intoxicating feeling. He leaned forward "Would you share some recommendations for my next read? I'm afraid I have no idea where to start."

Nightmare chuckled pleasantly as he relaxed back, leaning an arm on the back of the couch. "One might assume you're trying to butter me up with talk like that, doctor." His tentacles curled playfully, and behind them a few of the boys had begun to look between the pair with curiosity.

He grinned widely at the challenge, having been so easily seen through "Come now.~ What greater pleasure is there than to indulge one's passion for literature?"

The god's tentacles curled minutely, bright, glittering eyelight smouldering and socket crinkling with the uptick of his smirk. A dark boned phalange distractingly traced slow circles on the rim of his own flute "What, indeed."

He would blame the wine for the magenta that coloured his cheeks and crept down his neck.

ahdifejbd you know I always get so stressed sending requests for meme things cause I’m always 10000000000% convinced that I’m going to be the 38th jerk to ask the exact same thing SO I am sending two letters that I think would be interesting ONLY because I am giving you the option to Choose One - NOT because I am asking you to write both!

I think Dream with B or C could be interesting in different ways!

B. Under cover of darkness. (Sunshine Boi Bein’ Sneaky sounds fun as heck. What kind of circumstances would require for him to do a sneak in the dark?)

C. A moment’s respite. (What do *you* imagine a moment of rest would look like for the guy who’s chronically Duty Bound to literally the whole multiverse?)

Again - pls pick *one* that suits your fancy OR one that hasn’t been picked already if someone else beat me to the punch lol. Happy Turkey Weekend, Friend! And pls take your time over the holiday weekend! Don’t overwork yourself!!!

Hahahaha, I think I'll go with C for him since I did B for Baggs already. Space out my same-prompts some.

I'll pick one later for myself once I've answered the bulk of these

C. A moment’s respite.

He's thankful for his little corner of the multiverse. He owed Ink a lot for helping him claim it and bring it to life.

The little cottage, perpetually bathed in the warm light of golden hour, is the perfect little place for him. He has enough spare rooms to house a few people, and his two best friends have their own spaces as well.

He has his gardens, his orchard, and his small stable with a single cow.

It was nice to be able to have such a comfortable home to return to. One that didn't remind him of his past failures, one that didn't reek of sorrow and death and anger. One where he could enjoy the warmth on his bones and the peace of birdsong and crickets.

As much as he liked to keep busy here by gardening or by general upkeep...

Today he was taking time to lay on one of the golden hills in the soft grass, listening to the wind quietly hush over the blades and petals of wildflowers. He was kicked back with his sockets closed, skirting towards the edge of sleep, completely at ease.

He'd been all but bullied into taking a day off-- no duty to the multiverse, no busywork in the garden-- they would take care of that-- and no worrying about anything. He'd started the day off with a long soak in his favorite bubbles and oils, and followed it up with reading beneath the largest apple tree in his orchard. Now, he was contemplating a nap in the sun, reminded of simpler times when such days of leisure were common.

It was only slightly painful to think about them, and to lack his brother to enjoy such a moment with.

... Perhaps Nightmare was similarly enjoying a day off. Stars knew that he had luxury in spades in his dark, imposing fortress. Grand marble baths, gilded chaises, massive hearths and wine aplenty.

Wine did sound appealing. Maybe he'd break a bottle of blush open later, at dinner.

It was the one thing he'd managed to negotiate with his friends-- he would be the one to make dinner for them all. Ink could create very fine foods from thin air, and Blue... was not as bad as he used to be.. but Dream took a special pleasure in cooking things from scratch. It was as relaxing to him as laying here, beneath the sun was.

He didn't know what time it was, nor did he really care. He could afford not to today.

He was fortunate to have such good friends. Perhaps his brother was similarly fortunate-- he could afford to take a day of leisure with his underlings handling whatever serious issues might crop up.

He hoped.

The one thing that would put the cherry on the top of the day would be the knowledge that Nightmare had similarly taken a day for himself. Perhaps Killer could harass him away from his perpetual mountain of paperwork. Maybe Dust could ensure he took time to relax. Cross could remind him of the many luxuries the castle had to offer, and Axe, naturally, handled all the food.

His phone was on silent today, but he retrieved it momentarily to contact Cross, texting him to maybe, gently, get him to take the day off.

[Cross] Don't worry about it, Killer has it handled. I think he's soaking in that huge spa bath he has right now.

With a content sigh, Dream pocketed his phone and curled up on the plush grass, tipping his circlet partially off of his head and drifting off into a well-earned, completely content nap.

#k answers #k headcanons #fic nonsense #minific asks #feat. dream #and mentioning literally everyone else lmfao I'm not gonna tag them because no one has speaking roles really.

Forgot to mention. After my tire got fixed in New Dorp I drove down New Dorp Lane to stop in to @jhucomicbooks to wash my filthy hands and say hello and pick up some bags and boards and cardboard for art orders. Anyway, @ronehill shows me this movie poster in their window, and look at what t-shirt the character's wearing. Shades of David from Roseanne. It's vintage, too, we haven't re-released that design on our @teepublic site. The movie has some scenes that were shot in the Staten Island JHU store. If I recall what Ron said, Pete Bagge lettered the poster and Johnny Ryan worked on the logo and the little drawings. I think it's a period piece. Clearly there's a comics angle. I think there's a NYC premiere this week. Besides coming home to Winky the Pirate Cat this was the only non-depressing thing that happened today. If I wasn't so tired I'd go chug a bottle of wine or something. Winky doesn't drink and unlike George Thorogood I don't like drinking alone. https://www.instagram.com/p/ChoTq89sDVG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

January 22 - No Name Harbor is a beautiful place. Clear blue water. Protection from the wind and it is also the location of the Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park. The park has bike trails, birding trails, a walking trail along the waterfront, fishing spots and is also home to the Cape Florida lighthouse. Today we took the mile long trail to the lighthouse. The lighthouse is open for tours twice daily. Our timing was off for the tour but we also didn’t want to spend any time in a hot, windowless brick lighthouse on a hot day like today.

Cape Florida lighthouse as seen from the walking trail.

The lighthouse.

View out the window of the light keeper’s house overlooking Biscayne Bay.

We took a chance and got lunch at the restaurant on the waterfront. It was just OK. We won’t go back there again. Last night we got a drink at the Cleat bar. Never again. It cost $30 (including a built in 18% gratuity) for a beer and a margarita! All mixed drinks are $15, a beer was $9 and if I had gotten a glass of wine, that would’ve been $9. Learned our lesson!

It’s always never a good idea to go to a Florida anchorage on the weekend. Many locals congregate there on the weekends. We were lucky to have secured an anchoring spot when we arrived yesterday afternoon. Yesterday was the worst day ever that we’ve spent in a “weekend” anchorage. The number of boats weren’t the issue. The many boats playing extremely loud music and excessive drinking were the problems. Two boats were excessive in their noise level. The occupants themselves were very loud and got louder as the day wore on. Sometime after 11 one of the boats left the sea wall (no overnight docking) and plopped down close to Molly D. The problem with this was that their boat was a 32’ or so Sea Ray type boat. No opening hatches or windows in the living/sleeping area. Six people!! on board. They ran their stern located Honda generator ALL NIGHT LONG to presumably run their A/C. We heard the constant din right through our cabin. The boat’s anchor was not properly set and dragged during the night. Fortunately the boat did not hit any other boat as it drifted through the anchorage. By morning the boat was against the mangrove. I guess they got their just desserts! Today was also crowded in the anchorage but much more quiet than yesterday. Tonight the anchorage is nearly cleared out. Maybe we can get a good night’s sleep.

Tonight’s sunset.

so i said in the last ask that i had some head canons. and i wrote one out. it ended up being a lot longer then it was meant to be but here is it. (also im not the best at writing, having dyslexia sucks so sorry if it sounds a bit off or anything.) hope you like it :)

Case has a secret room in his lab/office. 

This room is hidden behind a bookshelf, and to open it you need to pull on a certain book and the middle shelf moves to the side, like the secret doors in movies. 

Once the shelf moves you're greeted with a long dark hallway. No light. No sound. It's all pretty scary and spooky until you reach a big metal door with a complex lock on it. Your first thought is that it's just another room filled with experiments and computers. Or maybe something darker. That's why it's so hidden.  

But if you somehow manage to unlock the door (or it was left open) then…

The first thing to catch your eyes is a big fancy old shiny gramophone sitting on a dark red-wood cabinet with records stored neatly underneath it. Above the gramophone is a photo of Case, his brother and queen, in a golden frame to match the horn of the gramophone. Under your feet in front of the door is a little dark red doormat. It looks pretty old.

The left side of the room is full of sewing equipment. Everything is neatly laid out. There is a big table in the middle with an industrial grade sewing machine mounted to it. Near the table is one of those fancy expensive mannequins with a half finished project pinned up on it. 

Against the wall just next to the door is a small desk with a big pin board hanging on the wall above. The pin board is covered in photos, patterns, little sketches of coats and corsets, a few buttons and gems on it too along with some scraps of fabric and post it notes. 

On the desk there’s a notebook with a hand made pattern next to it, as well as a little cup holder with pens, pencils and chalk. Next to that is a tiny annoying dog shaped pin cushion and a little box filled with sewing needles and more pins. You can never have too many pins. 

Sitting just under the desk is a little red stool on wheels. 

Around the room, and under the big table there are boxes and containers. You can't see inside them. it must just be storage. On top of one of the containers is an older looking sewing machine and an over-locker. 

The walls are lined with shelves filled with big rolls of all different types and colours of materials and fabrics. 

At the far corner of the room there’s a set of drawers that matches the red-wood cabinet of the gramophone with golden handles and trimming. On top of the cabinet is a lamp and an empty wine glass. 

Next to that cabinet is a big rack of clothes, That are all mostly the same colours that Case likes to wear, that being red and silvery shiny grey. Most of the clothes are corsets or have some kind of corset built into them.

The other side of the well lit room is mostly empty. This is when you notice the fact that the floor of this secret room is wooden. It’s a nice change from the cold tiled ground of the lab. 

The only thing in this half of the room is a big dark red well loved comfy looking armchair with a little grey pillow sitting on it. In front of the armchair sits a matching ottoman. On the back wall of the room, near the armchair is a small window covered by some dark red curtains that match the red doormat. 

Just next to the armchair is a wine rack filled with fancy bottles of fine wine. The top of the rack acts as a table and has a few wine glasses resting on it. The glasses look pretty fancy and expensive, one has a golden handle and a few others are made of clear crystal with ornate patterns and designs in them. 

You overheard something about Case liking to dance. Perhaps this big open space is where he practices. 

The only other thought that crosses your mind is why keep all of this hidden? (the answer to that is this as the only other room big enough that would fit the big sewing table and the armchair.) 

You shouldn't enter rooms you weren't invited to~

Damn, you went in-depth about his stuff! But it's all rather fitting for him, very fancy. Nice work!

I really love the last bit because, yes x'D Case doesn't hide away his corsets, sewing machines, designs, gramophone and records. He's too proud of these things. Just cozy at home, away from the lab in Waterfalls and prying eyes.

Employment Rate: Does it really affect alcohol consumption?

 Is employment rate associated with alcohol consumption?

Hypothesis: An increase in levels of unemployment can lead to increase in alcohol consumption Is suicide per 100th associated with income per person?

Hypothesis: Low income per person can cause an increase in suicidal deaths per 100th.

Having gone through the GapMinder study codebook, I am interested to study more about alcohol consumption and the different variables that can cause an upsurge in alcohol uptake. As a result, I chose employment rate as my variable to be included in my codebook. I also decided to study how suicide per 100th is associated with income per person in relation to the main topic.

Alcohol consumption may be affected by very many factors but my main focus is on how the employment rate affects it. In the long run, a negative employment rate may lead to low income per person and hence suicide. I have witnessed very many youths seeking solace in alcohol as a means of relieving their stress levels due to them being unemployed. They find themselves in situations where they cannot support themselves and their families due to lack of income. Therefore the little they get or have is used on alcohol as much term as a stress reliever.

Literature Review

OECD (2020) defines employment rate as ‘a measure of the extent to which available resources are being used’ and in this case the people available to work. It is usually determined based on the ratio of the employed to the working age population (OECD, 2020). UN (2019a), stated that the global working age population i.e. 15 years and above was estimated to be 5.7 billion people out of which 2.3 billion were not part of the labor force, 3.3 billion were in employment while 188 million were unemployed (ILO, 2020) due to various reasons. Alcohol consumption is an act of ingesting a beverage containing ethanol and is typically done orally (Collins S.E. & Kirouac M. 2013).

The consumption of alcoholic beverages has been there since prehistoric times. Presently, many people consume alcohol as a recreation activity that is however causing more health and social problems (Poli, A. et al, 2013).

Catalano et al (2011) states that unemployment could cause financial challenges that lead to increased uptake of alcohol and more so especially if it is over a prolonged period of time (Khan et al., 2002; Mossakowski,2008). Popovici I. & French M. (2013), conducted a research whose research findings were that unemployed men had a higher binge-drinking rate as compared to men who were employed and that unemployed men had a higher chance of being diagnosed with alcohol abuse and/or dependence. Alcohol consumption, in most cases, is not done on busy schedules and that is why (Arkes 2007; Dee 2001; Ettner 1997) found out that unemployed people have more leisure time and this may encourage social drinking.

It is quite evident that many people did lose their jobs in this Covid 19 pandemic. Some were lucky enough to retain their jobs but on a half pay salary and this meant that people had to adjust their way of living so as to survive. This, in the long run, caused a lot of stressful moments and many people may have turned to drinking alcohol to pass time and to relieve away their stress. Heid, M. (2020) wrote that according to data from Bloomberg News the sales of beer and wine went up by 32% and 47% respectively. This was attributed mainly to the stay-at-home restrictions that were imposed which could otherwise mean more leisure time for alcohol consumption as the Americans felt the need to stock their home bars.

The employment rate, as seen from research, affects alcohol consumption. It can also affect the income per person. Income per person which is also known as Per capita income is the measure of the amount of money earned per person in a specific region (Kenton W, 2019). When the employment rate is high therefore the income per person would also increase since this would mean that the economy can well cater for its citizens. However, low income per person can cause stress and depression which can in the long term affect the health of individuals.

A study conducted by (Aron, L. et al, 2015) found out various ways in which income can affect one’s health. They include people with limited money have less to spend on medicine, doctor visits or even healthy foods, Low income can cause stress that can lead to the development of other terminal diseases like heart disease and that those that earn high incomes are able to access more healthier resources. They also stated that adults who are poor are more likely to report being in fair or poor health as their counterparts with high income. A number of research studies show that there is a positive association between income per person and their health.

Case et al. (2002) did a research that focused on how income affect health right from childhood and the results were that children from low income households who suffer from chronic illnesses have worse health compared to those in high income households. Basically, this more or less develops to adulthood. With decreased levels of income therefore, chances of stress and depression are on the rise hence increase in alcohol consumption which can even cause cases of suicide. Breet E et al (2018) carried out a study on how the low and middle income countries are affected by substance abuse and suicidal ideation and the results were that there was a positive association between substance use, alcohol being one of them, and suicidal ideas. Xuan, Z et al. (2015) also identified that heavy alcohol consumption is associated with suicide.

From the researches above, it is quite evident that employment rate has much to do with alcohol consumption. This is because if more people are employed the rate of alcohol consumption is reduced and the vice versa is true. Increased cases of low income per person due to unemployment can affect people’s stress levels which can otherwise lead to suicide among the affected.

Someone Else’s Babeh </3

Concept: You bump into your favourite superstar Alex Turner with his girlfriend Taylor Baggs in a super cool exclusive night club where you’re out with your best friend Alexa. Taybaggs a threesome but Alex has other ideas.... :)

It’s Saturday night in High Green, Sheffield, England, and Y/N is so pumped to go to the amazing cool new nightclub called YOU’RE MY TOP with her best friend Alexa Vandenberg who she has known since she was 3 years old!!! “Alexa I’ve known you for so long this is crazy we are basically twins everyone has always said so” you shout over the loud sound of the queue “Oh my god Y/N I know ever since that first day we met in kindergarten we have been best friends!! :)”.

The line quickly moves along and Y/N pulls her ID out of her alligator skin shoulder bag while pushing her light brown curtain fringe out of her eyes to see the bouncer’s face clearly “Ow do gehls? Ay up, ‘ed in now tha” he says.

Y/N and Alexa walk confidently into the room, their matching Topshop stiletto shoes stepping in time to the beat of the indie music playing in the club. They weren’t like the other popular girls in their school; they were outsiders and they listened to bands other people had never heard of and didn't fit in. Yeh could say, like, they were nowt post-mix lemonade n’tha.

Suddenly! Y/N faints on the dance floor “OH NO!” mutters Alexa. 

“EEH BY GUM! Shuft up everehbodeh, get a’gate tha, this gehl has fallen on’t floor” a voice exclaimed from across the club. Alexa rushed to her fallen princess on the illuminated dance floor. Y/N began to stir and opened her eyes to see a pair of beautiful sparkling brown eyes staring as deep as the pacific ocean into hers. She recognised those eyes immediately; they were the eyes of celebrity superstar Alex Turner from the Arctic Monkeys, her favourite band ever. She owned every t-shirt and knew the lyrics to every song and knew them before they were popular. Y/N was the biggest Arctic Monkeys fan ever and now she was finally meeting the man she had followed for years, it was like a dream come true.

“Yeh alright there babeh? Yehr lookin’ a littul rig-welted down thereh” Alex smiled kindly and he looked like he would take care of her, she wished he could take care of her forever. “Yes Alex I feel great now” she smiled as he helped her stand up and the whole club stopped dancing and clapped for them. It was so romantic. Y/N forgot about Alexa and headed to the bar with Alex “I’ll buy yeh a Tropical Reef luv, only two pound fifteh”. He was so thoughtful way more thoughtful than all the other guys. 

All of a sudden Y/N saw a tall person wade through the crowd towards Alex. She was carrying a dog you hoped was sleeping. She was wearing a pink cowboy hat and neon green cowboy boots and she had an angry look on her face... “Oh my god Alex who is this then??” she said. Alex turned around looking super cool and calm as he always did “calm down lass, this poor gehl Y/N done gone and fehnted on’t dance floor just now and am tryna hydreht er”. 

Suddenly Taylor jumped, her dog woke up and she was seemingly surprised it had started moving again. “OK guys we should take Y/N back to our place I have some good ideas and also Scooter wants to go ok let’s go” she grabbed both your hands and suddenly you were at their house. You were so drunk you didn’t remember the taxi ride but Alex said Elon Musk himself was driving the Tesla! In High Green how cool was - that! 

You and Alex were sat on the sofa. You admired all his awards in his cabinet, his model hotels that he had built in his spare time, and his computer which looked like it came fresh out the 1990s. Alex was so cool and not like the other boys he was different, he actually cared and was cool . to know. “OK guys so should we have a threesome” announced Taylor as she walked into the room wearing Alex’s Riddler costume from the previous Halloween. “OMG Taylor I told u not to wear that” Alex said as he began crying because Taylor stole his Riddler costume from the previous Halloween. 

Y/N thought, right that’s it. She can’t make Alex cry his music has done so much for me and also it was so mean for her to steal that! “Taylor I’m making a stand. I’ve had a lot of people in my life who have been mean to me I’ve had a hard life I don’t want Alex to be your doormat for you to step on in your ugly cowboy boots” Taylor was so shocked she dropped her glass of $15000 red wine on the pristine white carpet..... 

Y/N suddenly fainted again on the white carpet........ 

To be continued.....

I just went and reread the first chapter, and… they really are a bunch of cliches on the surface huh? Do they all get the high of being dramatic like nightmare? Or is it just for the added zest? (I got rid of my emojis so imagine it’s got the sparkles next to it)

It's a bit of both, really. Nightmare is a terrible role model in this regard.

Killer is dramatic, oftentimes playfully so. He's the one who makes huge dramatic deals about things for no other reason than to be annoying or to goof around (ex. "Y-you ate the last slice of pizza? b-but... that was my favorite slice of pizza. It was everyone's! He was a good, hard-working family man! He had a wife and children! How could you!" complete with absolutely horrible dramatic sobbing until someone throws something at him to get him to stop) Dust is kind of hot-and-cold, so his isn't intentional when he becomes theatric or chews the scenery. Sometimes he has the clarity to realize that his laughter can verge on the villainous and campy, and he rolls his eyes at himself. He will, however, deliver some pretty cliche lines with terrifying efficacy ("Any last words?" Is terrifying when you're looking down the muzzle of a blaster.) Axe does delight in yanking someone's chain around and watching them squirm. He thinks it's funny, but once they freak out past a certain point... it stops being funny. Jumpscaring, unnerving, startling, and generally scaring is all well and good, but he gets uncomfortable when the waterworks come out. Cross leans into a more anti-hero role, and sometimes does it consciously, keeping that rift between him and the others wide open. He doesn't do anything for effect, really, but he does say some pretty cliche things with the straightest face. ("This is your last chance to stand down. You won't like what happens if you don't.") ...This sometimes gets him laughed at once out of the situation (if there is one) and he has started consciously curbing the more tropey things he says Baggs is about as dramatic as Nightmare is. He's also genre savvy and knows he's seen as the mad scientist stereotype. He leans on it for effect and embraces the ability to be a dramatic card with it. He genuinely has a really, really eerie maniacal cackle he can break out, too. For an actual, in-canon-universe example of this, he intentionally puts on one of those campy hypnosis acts in MTT resort, and hams it up to the nines. tailcoat, tophat, and everything.

As for Nightmare, Ren's inner monologue has absolutely called him out on it several times (with my favorite being them regarding him as a "dramatic lush" when the stars first arrived and had their first dinner, with the twins sitting on opposite ends of the table head, and a glass of red wine in his hand. Really.) and even calls him out on it when they're training. ("Stop antagonizing your brother, please") Guardian of Negativity? More like Guardian of The Dramatic.

(By the same stroke, Dream is also a dramatic ham, but he doesn't realize it nearly as often as Nightmare does. Ink sometimes points it out to him, much to Dream's chagrin and embarrassment. It does mean that Brother Spats are always entertaining to listen to, though. A couple antiquated words sometimes get thrown around, and it's a race to see who gets the definition first.)

Checkout the custom Nigerian ebony bridge I made on this vintage 1964 Gibson LG-1 acoustic guitar for singer, songwriter and producer Kevin J. Allen. I made the bridge 3/16's thick with routed bridge wing contours and then glued it flush to the top. The original Gibson bridge was plastic and was not completely making full contact with the top because of screw hole cracks in the plastic, resulting in some rippling and distortion in the sound board. The new ebony bridge was strong enough to flatten the top distortion to achieve a low action. The saddle is made of Woolly Mammoth fossilized bone for increased brighter tones and volume. The bridge pins are traditional cream plastic to match the LR Baggs M1 pickup I installed and the buttons on the tuning keys. I also did a micropolishing of the frets removing the large string coil dents and corrosion. My father Dr. Phil Petillo invented a process of micropolishing that is used with his patented Petillo Precision Frets aka "triangle/pyramid frets" and I apply this process to every setup I do. The procedure involves the frets being polished from 400 grit sand paper all the way up to 10,000 grit lens paper (which polishes telescope lenses). The entire idea is to make the surface area so glass-like the metal string can resonate a clear true note with intonation clarity. I always use the example of the wine glass filled with liquid and the player rubs the rim…and the friction of that motion makes a note. You can imagine if the rim was rough, it would not be as reflective to carry the note. That is the principle with polishing the frets to so fine and flawless a gloss…the notes seem to hang in midair. I love this instrument and it's feel!
