#And I know rich people
Text
talking about money, in France we have this class in between the middle class and rich people which I don't feel like exist in English despite most mildly famous people being part of it. We call those people "aisé", it's not the high end of being middle class, it's above that, but it's not rich rich yet. Rich people will always be fine, they will always have the money to live comfortably even if they loose a lot of money to a bad investment. That's what separate them from "aisé" people, "aisé" people do not live pay check to pay check, they can own multiple house and go on vacations multiple times a year without a thought, but they also can loose it all. I'm putting in this category people like doctors and owners of successful companies who don't come from generational wealth, as well as a lot of nationally famous actors, those kind of people.
To me, a really poor person, those people fell rich, because they are in comparison to me. But I feel like the distinction is important because those people are not the people who hoard money, those people are the ones who actually can loose everything in a blink. And putting those people into the same socio-economic category as rich people (without even talking about ultra-rich people), reinforce the idea that rich people have worked to deserve their money and that they're not that rich actually. And it's because we lump together 2 different social class. And yes it's easy to confuse those 2 because they often interact and are in the same circle, but economically they're not the same.
#charlie is rambling#and I'm not even talking about ultra-rich people like that's a category above rich#i guess maybe wealthy could work in english but it's too vague to me#And I know rich people#I've been to a rich people wedding#rich people are sureal#your surgeon is not in the same category as the person who regularly eat with George Clooney and who has a street to their name#okay that might already be too precise#if you know who that is no you don't

Sunny and their crown friends (aka, their bodyguard, chauffeur and Accountant)
EDIT: @this-is-a-name-dont-worry Thank you for letting me know about their pronouns!! I wasn't aware :>!! Unfortunately I can't edit my tags to change some of it to they because I'm on mobile tho I'll use they/them for sunny more in the future!!
#qsmp#qsmp fit#qsmp pac#badboyhalo#qsmp sunny#qsmp sunny side up#I know she gave a crown to fit and bad#I think she told Fit to give Pac something which I had assumed was a crown#I also know she gave a crown to Tubbo but Tubbo is her dad so I'm not really counting him as her friend#I wanted to draw Sunny with the people she had given crowns too (as far as I knew)#I don't think she gave Philza one(?) so I didn't include him tho I do know she calls Etoiles her rich bestie - she didn't give him a crown#yet#qsmp fanarts#mmangoarts#also I like to think she has plastic chairs and plastic toy cups and teakettle#also only reason Bad gets to be called her friend as a title is because she literally did say she made a new friend in reference to him

Publishing has always been a fucking nightmare, but now it’s a layer of hell. It’s not enough that writers be good at what they do. Writers have to maintain an active social media presence and cultivate a following. Be available.
They have to be conventionally attractive enough to look good enough to see on a screen, aesthetically pleasing, kind, funny, up-to-date on trends, socially aware but not so controversial that they turn off a brand from California from slapping their discount code on a video promoting a book.
They have to do all of this with no media training, with little help from the companies that are supposed to be doing this for them.
Of course, a lot of this isn't possible for say, the 40-something mother of two who teaches English at a school and writes on the side. She’s boxed out of an already complex industry that already has enough walls.
On some level, I think authors have always marketed themselves a little, but we’ve reached such a crazy point where we’re demanding the author become the influencer. Accessibility in publishing has narrowed from an inch to a sliver. And that inch was hard enough to get in as is.
#This is about traditional publishing but there’s pretty privilege and ageism in self publishing too#I can’t think of the last time I saw an up and coming author recording videos who was over thirty#And frankly that’s a shame#It could be that I’m not looking hard enough#but it’s more likely that algorithms are trained the way they are#truly I don’t think they should have to do any of that at all#And forgive me but (and I know it’s rich because I’m an artist on a platform) but art shouldn’t be at the mercy of an algorithm#Now there’s also something to be said about self publishing becoming easier and easier to achieve success in#And doors opening because of influencer status is real and makes publishing wider in a way#But that doesn’t mean it’s accessible#I’m not gonna plaster my health issues over the wall but that life is certainly not accessible to me!#are you healthy enough to write and make sure people on social media still want to like your stuff#are you mentally well enough to be your own pr#I’m sure people who have studied this have more to say and have said it better but this is what I’ve observed#writing#publishing#publishing industry

Izuku 🤝 Ochako
Thinking their creepy af, crazy af, blood thirsty blonde counterpart is the cutest things in the whole world
#you know what’s scarier than a psychopath?#their delusional love interest who thinks they’re baby#Hori really do be loving his inverted/upended stereotypes#Deku and Uravity look so doe eyed but they have such a carnal craving for justice and vengeance#that they seem to get off on being beaten down to their pith#meanwhile the ones you think from a surface level glance are terrifying goblin people are continually placed in these#damsel in distress ‘oh where art thou my great hero come at last to save me from my turmoil’ moments#and honestly I love it#they make for such a dynamic and rich story without having to over saturate anything

Prompt 234
More of the Tiamat Au? More of the Tiamat Au!
Sharing a body was strange. Ten limbs split between the nine of them- thirteen if one counted the tails and seventeen if one counted the fact that their cloak… skirt… whatever could mimic the wings of their other form.
One which they would change back to after a few moments- there was much less stumbling when it was all fours. Not to mention that if not for the tails they’d have easily toppled over with how many arms they had making them slightly top heavy. Okay more than slightly, it was taking a bit to adjust.
Honestly the fields of wheat and other crops did nothing to hide them with how tall even this body was, but it was still better than nothing, and they were using the fact it was the middle of nowhere to their shared advantage.
At least the humanoid- not human, even now their shared power thrummed through the air, leaking from them- form was smaller than their true draconic one. Well, perhaps they shouldn’t call it their true form, when they were once all human, halfa and liminal alike, but they’d long since stopped being such. So perhaps it was in fact true to call the form they had become as their normal state now.
Actually, could they even separate now? Or had their power melded together so much that it was impossible now, and an attempt would end them? It would at the very least crack their core-
“What the fuck.”
Their head lurched, a little too far if the jolt of pain was anything before it melted away. They were all too used to moving their own necks separately. But all of them agreed that discovery could not happen-
Oh.
It was a child. A preteen with red-orange hair, blue-green eyes, expensive clothing, and most damming of all, large swaths of bruising across his arms. Bruising that did not come from usual play, and looked far too much like hand prints for any of their comfort.
Someone had very much not been taking care of this child. And that really made them quite angry.
#DCxDP#DPxDC#Prompts#The Class Pulls a Tiamat#The ennead finding lil baby Lex: Oh no the poor baby… our baby now#Lex as an adult seeing reporter also from smallville: Oh thank fuck- pretend I didn’t say that#Lex raised by the chaos 9 would be twice as horrifying#Lex got tossed over to this small town whenever his bio-father got tired of him#But he has a new mom-dad now & was raised as a feral lil shit#Acts like an ass still towards other rich people#But he was raised by a feral hydra and it SHOWS the first time someone tries to kidnap him#Liminal Lex Luthor#What happened to Lionel? They DEFINITELY didn’t eat him#Ennead: Son you better not become a hero plz you will lose so much sleep & your schoolwork will suffer-#Luthor feels better about Superman because he knows there’s things that CAN defeat him if he turns evil#That’s even if he still ends up in Metropolis lol#Or if he stays human and doesn’t learn dragon shapeshifting from his new parents lol#PFFT Lex Luthor collecting kryptonite not to use against Superman but for hoarding purposes lmao

you guys ever notice how in his dialogue when he's in bertie's presence, jeeves uses quotations and references constantly, but in his THOUGHTS during "bertie changes his mind," he doesn't use any? this is obviously because he doesn't care if we the audience know he knows shakespeare, but he will languish and die if he doesn't get to dazzle bertie with his wit and knowledge every five seconds
#ok actually you know what#this post was supposed to just be a joke#but then i started thinking#the audience jeeves is presumably writing for in bertie changes his mind is new and aspiring valets#members of his own class#to whom he probably feels he has less to prove#but when he's talking to rich people who are liable to look down their noses at him#he needs them to know how smart he is#though he is ALSO a dramatic secret theater kid who's addicted to his crush's attention and admiration#that's very much part of it too#//#jeeves and wooster#jeeves books#bertie changes his mind#carry on jeeves#reginald jeeves#jooster

I didn’t sit here for years tryna stay calm and silent while listening to your bad takes on gale (who grew up oppressed, in poverty and then witnessed his entire district getting wiped out then rightly went to fight in the rebellion because it was his inlg chance of tearing down the system the wanted him and his family dead) being a “terrorist war criminal who is single handedly responsible for killing innocent people including prim and who is the REAL villain of the hunger games” just for y’all to turn and start stanning and defending actual facist dictator and child trafficker Coriolanus Snow because you saw a young hot version of him.
#i actually do enjoy coryo as a villain and liked his origin story but people are really making excuses for him? and they know what he became#gale hawthorne#the hunger games#anti coriolanus snow#tbosas#like even in tbosas he shows that he is a sociopathic narissist. he tries to be good but those traits are still there and he embraced them#as for gale he was oppressed his entire life and lived in the poorest part of panem and resents the rich who were complicit in his suffering#the things he does for the resistance were things he thought was neccessary to win to end oppression#the other option was losing the rebellion and getting tortured killed and allowing snow to cause a lot more suffering#do i agree w everything he does? no because he is a character with flaws but i dont blame him one bit for decisions after the genocide of 12#he has to live with the consequences of what happened during the war and what he had to do to survive#but he is not a bad person for fighting back and willing to kill to survive he also does not understand the toll it takes to have to kill#him and snow are the same age and they both choose survival but snow is choosing power for himself and restoring his families wealth#and gale is choosing to join the rebellion and willing to fight for the sake of the rest of his people and to put an end to the suffering#one creates an oppressive society and one is tearing down that society both do whatever it takes#wow i guess i have more thoughts on gales character than i originally thought and the comparisons with snow are interesting

bestie, idk who lied to you, but that film was never meant to be an eat the rich film. there is a huge difference between messaging and setting and I am begging everyone to understand that.
#Saltburn#sometimes#things can have rich people in them#and just be a pulpy gothic romance#and yes I know#the scary commoner turned out to be evil and brought down the poor rich family#I just can't believe all the fuss when Patricia Highsmith is RIGHT THERE#prolific queer writer telling almost the exact same story and everyone loved it#no one is holding the classism torch about Tom Ripley#please I beg of you#sometimes you really can just enjoy things or not enjoy them and move on#I stg a lot of you went into this film demanding it fit into the idea you got from the vague trailer#and then you refused to adjust your expectations when it wasn't that thing at all

somewhat kicking a bees nest here, but hear me out-
"homemade and handcrafted goods should cost hundreds and even thousands of dollars" is why attaching a monetary value to esoteric concepts like "time" and "skill" (and, you know, "a human being") is a bad system.
now, before the pitchforks come out, i am not bitching because i want a handcrafted quilt for $20. i do recognize that it would be unbelievably unfair to the quilter. but like...doesn't that sound obscene? that we live in a system where things that used to be pretty mundane are now only available to the upper class, or the creator just fucking dies? where in order for someone to make anything artistic, they need to be independently wealthy or ONLY cater to wealthy people?
again, i am not suggesting that artists should sell me their shit at a horrific loss. im not really suggesting any solution at all here, we're between a bit of a rock and a hard place. but it feels really inherently fucked up to me that the only options are "Artists taken advantage of" and "only rich people get art."
anyways, UBI huh
#like i see these arguments about rising videogame and movie and tv costs as well#and like. yes! i do think those artists deserve a living wage!#but also its grotesque that that means only rich people have access to art#a ubi wouldnt solve EVERYTHING but it sure would make literally everything easier you know?#i hate the idea of art as career#not because i dont think its important#but because i feel like its TOO important to attach to that fucking carrot/stick you know?#whoever controls the money can control the art and that's real stupid. even if it IS how its always been.#but taking it further than that. i guess i hate 'career' meaning 'reason you get to live' in the FIRST place#so i dont hate artists that make it their career. that's fine.#but i think a society that forces you to attach a dollar value to everything you care about in order to live is very sick

Golden Trio as Kents
Previous Next
‐-----------------------
The Justice League was on edge. Well, they were suspicious.
Superman had been strange the past few weeks. He and the other Supers had been taking increased trips to Smallville. People had begun to worry something had happened to the Kent elders but after Flash had tearfully asked after their health they'd been reassured that they were as fit as ever.
Which begs the question as to why they were constantly in Smallville. Batman, as usual, asked his sons due to their close relationship to the Superboys. Damian and Tim were not helpful.
Though that did confirm that this was a non threatening civilian issue considering his sons had essentially laughed in his face (or rather they'd brushed him off which was the same in the Batclan, unless you were Jason or Stephanie who literally laugh in his face).
Eventually Bruce decided to bite the bullet and ask Clark. He'd held off this long because everytime he approached Clark buzzed with excited energy like a hyperactive golden retriever and Bruce did not have the energy to deal with that.
He'd come to regret his decision after Clark simply led him to the Kent farm and introduced him to his new siblings.
As a father Bruce loved his kids. He did not, however, like them. It sounds horrible but while Bruce would easily lay down his life for his children without a second thought he would never be friends with them had they met on the streets, matter of fact, he'd cross the road to avoid them.
His children were mean and teenagers. He'd heard enough of their casual 'roasts' at galas to know that they'd reduce people to tears (and they had, on multiple occasions).
All of this to say, Bruce was horrified to learn that Clark had cursed his life with three more terrors who had made friends with his hellspawn. Now his manor was ground zero for even more shenanigans.
Turns out when many highly trained teenagers with a myriad of powers gathered together they caused mass destruction. He'd already bailed the Young Justice + the Kent kids out of jail six times and they were banned for life from every Olive Garden nationwide even AFTER a heavy 'tip' ( made at the begest Tim, Danny, and Bart. All three of whom were devastated when that didn't work.)
Bruce had started making a game out of pushing them onto whatever unsuspecting Justice League member was in the wrong place at the wrong time when they were in his care. Plastic Man had started diving through any avaliable opening when Batman walked by after getting caught six times.
But honestly as he sat with the Justice League watching them beat the ever-loving shit out of Ra's Al Ghul he felt a swell of pride for the group of kids who were coming into their own.
"Aren't they the cutest?" Clark asked as Sam curb stomped the man. The amount of side eyes he received from the rest of the League made Batman laugh out loud (read; quirk his lip).
"Hn"

The fact that when I came back from the cinema wanting to see some cool art and people talking about interesting stuff after something so flipin awesome and the first thing i see was the dream team being so fucking rude during a CHARITY EVENT for their DEAD FRIEND is honestly so disheartening.
My grandfather was so lucky to get cancer twice and survive both times, I knew someone who lost her dad to cancer. I know someone who survived childhood cancer. One of my great grandparents died of cancer, my family on both sides is extremely family oriented if he never died I would have met him. The fucking disrespect that they showed should not be laughed at, it shouldn’t be encouraged.
The fact they were playing airhorns during Technodad’s speech, one that should have been respected and really quiet durning and no one interrupting is the fucking worse. I don’t care if dteam fans say that it’s funny and Techno would have laughed because it’s not the fucking point!!!
The whole festival was a charity event in honour of their friend, and for Technodad his fucking son. No one should have gone though this. I don’t care if this comes across as rude or overreacting because the dteam need to grow the fuck up and learn that their actions have fucking consequences for once.
This isn’t supporting a brand that’s actually a scam, this isn’t saying something offensive by accident. This is being rude and disrespectful.
And it even hurts that none of their fans are going to care a single bit because I don’t fucking know maybe they’ll say “but it was a joke” or “dream has ADHD your being ableist” because none of that shit matters when you realise that neither of those things matter when it’s about respect.
These are the same fans who will defend these mother fuckers to the grave but when someone like Niki Niahchu accidentally uses avae because she doesn’t know about American history or what avae is because she lives in Germany(or any non American country because the world doesn’t revolve around you fuckers) and is called overreactive during mcc and having a lot of stress put onto her and BREAKS DOWN ON STREAM it’s ok because they think it is.
I want dteam fans to see this post and be uncomfortable, I don’t care if I’m being mean to your pretty white boys because they have been allowed to do anything with a platform that is way to big for them for too long. I’m allowed to be angry as well, I’m allowed to be mean, I’m not apologising to you if you feel sad that I’m being mean about them because they need to grow up.
Charlie had every right to tell dream to shut up during that stream.
Edit: I’m not going to be answering anymore asks about this post, I want my blog to be a personal space for me. This post wasn’t supposed to get as big as it has and just for me to rant. I’m only going to be accepting art requests and general asks and nothing about this. I’m 14 please leave me alone.
#dream situation#george not found#gnf neg#dream neg#dream#festival of voices#Technoblade#cw cancer#I just want to be clear how fucking angry I am about this#this is adult men who need to realise that the world isn’t them for once#they can’t keep getting away with being immature rude fucking bitches#the charity money goes to people who need it#making a joke about how you a rich person who could own multiple mansions talking about people who need that money to live#I don’t know if I’ll be able to own an apartment when I’m old enough because the housing market crashed#and Australia’s iron industry cannot find any more iron#I’ll be lucky to be able to get a shitty apartment

I think a massive facet of Tim's secret identity should be that everyone in Gotham knows that if Tim had Bat Skills, he would simply be a benevolent supervillain instead. A feral little gremlin who would take out the kneecaps of every boomer trying to embezzle charity funds. Like, this is the bitch that's constantly ready to fight God in a Denny's parking lot. He would be out there committing murder every time someone tried to rezone Gotham's voting districts again; he'd just show up in their dark living room with anime eyeshine like, "oh? And you thought you could get away with this? 🔪"
#tim drake#red robin#batman#dc comics#batfam#original#his public persona is so unhinged#so is his hero-to-hero and hero-to-villain vigilante persona#the only facet of tim drake that appears largely sane is his civillian-facing red robin persona#and that's bc he's holding onto his self restraint with both hands#so anyway he's so feral on social media#especially to other rich bitches and corporations who think they can get away with disenfranchising people#tell me he doesn't have regular twitter beef with lex luthor#what gothamite could look at this bitch and be like#'yeah if he knew 28 kinds of martial arts and weapons fighting i think he'd use it Normally and Responsibly'#everyone knows tim drake would have half his own board's heads on spikes on the lawn of wayne enterprises#if only he wasn't a pale noodle-armed child who definitely couldn't get away with murder bc he'd film it on instagram live /s
