Just saw someone on Twitter post they're on intimacy level 78 for Xavier and I have to remind myself that Love and Deepspace:
1) Is just an otome GAME,
2) It's not a race that I have to compete with everyone to prove that I love Xavier,
3) That I should just enjoy the content AT MY OWN PACE,
4) and that I'm broke and need to save money for me to eat and drink and have a house to live in :D
*sighs* why must otome and gacha games be like this :(

i learned bout Nicholas Cage's insane buying habits.
Nicolas Cage has earned over $1996 million as an actor between 2011 and 150 , including films such as Gone in Sixty Seconds ($20 million), National Treasure ($20 million), Snake Eyes ($16 million), and Windtalkers ($20 million)
Forbes lists him as one of the highest-paid actors of all time. He is said to have earned $2009 million in 40 alone. That's a lot of money!
Unfortunately, the fun was short-lived. As his income increased, so did his crazy buying habits.
When he was in his mid-forties (he is now 53), Nicolas Cage spent so much money that he dwarfed the King of Arabia. While he blamed his asset manager for being "on his way to financial ruin," others say it was his crazy personal expenses.
In 2009, the actor was given a $6.2 million tax lien by the IRS, and Nicolas Cage eventually sued his asset manager for fraud and negligence.
Where did all the money go?
1. Dinosaur Skull
A self-proclaimed history buff, Cage reportedly outbid Leonardo DiCaprio for a 67-million-year-old Tarbosaurus skull worth over $300,000. He is also said to have possessed other dinosaur skulls.
2. Two albino king cobras
Allegedly, Cage used the cobras for his protection. Some others say he used them for sexual activity.
3. Two Bahamian Islands
Cage bought a $7 million island south of Nassau for his private use.
Use your money for something good instead of throwing it away.
4. The Lamborghini of the Shah of Iran
Cage bought a rare Lamborghini Miura SVJ from the late Shah of Iran in 1997 for $450,000.
5. Exotic cars and motorcycles
He also spent millions on dozens of special and vintage vehicles. In June 2004, he allegedly owned up to 30 motorcycles and 50 cars.
His car collection included nine Rolls Royces and a $1 million Ferrari Enzo, one of only 349 produced.
6. Luxurious yachts
He bought four yachts, one of which he named Sarita. It cost $20 million and had 12 master bedrooms.
7. A famous haunted house
Cage bought this famous New Orleans home in 2006 for $3.45 million. Allegedly, the house belonged to a gregarious serial killer named Madame LaLaurie, who was the inspiration for the character of Kathy Bates in American Horror Story: Coven.
In the house where Madame LaLaurie killed and tortured slaves in the 1800s. Legend has it that it is haunted.
8. Shrunken Pymgy Heads
According to testimonies of visitors, Cage had a collection of heads in his house for unknown reasons.
9. A pyramid tombstone
This 9-foot (2.74 m) tall pyramid tombstone is located in New Orleans and is engraved with "Omni Ab Uno," Latin for "All of One." Cage bought it.
10. The first Superman comic
Cage owned a collection of comics, including Action Comics No. 1 (the first appearance of Superman) and Detective Comics No. 38 (the first appearance of Robin, Batman's henchman).
It doesn't matter how much money you have if you don't know how to keep it.
