I feel so bad for American kids sometimes like I just found out Sylvanian families are not known as Sylvanian families in the USA nope they're known as calico critters which objectively is just a worse name I'm so sorry
#theyre also apparently more expensive#which considering Sylvanian families are already like#just extortionate amounts of money#like to buy one of those small family packs is £20#i dont know whos buying these wee shits in America

Pet insurance exists and is very helpful. Vets are some of the lowest paid doctors in the U.S. and clinics are struggling to afford equipment and pay a livable wage to the few employees they have. They're not trying to extort you; imagine if you went to the dentist without insurance and got a full cleaning plus teeth removal plus meds for less than $1000? It'd be a miracle. Vets don't want to charge so much, they and the rest of us in the industry are drowning :(
i wasn't talking about individuals. I was talking about companies, the whole building, the entire practice and industry. not the individual vets that work inside, i have no doubt that the individual veterinarians DO care an incredible amount and I'm sure that they do wish that they could be paid fair wages and do their job for free at the same time, because they went into it for the love of animals not the money. just because individual veterinarians aren't intentionally extorting sad or desperate people doesn't mean that the industry/business they work for isn't
#also dont even get me started on how extortionate and misleading pet insurance is#they dont cover 80% of stuff#also dental care shouldn't cost that much either nerfed argument#callieupdates

Forgive me if you already posted about it, but how did your first dnd session go? :) I love dnd and I'm always invested in people picking it up as a hobby. :D
it was really good!! i was super nervous at first because i didn't know anyone except the DM, but everyone was really friendly and kind ❤️ one person said they loved my character and someone else told me they'd never have known it was my first time playing! we have our next session next week, hopefully i'll be less anxious this time around
#i tricked one of the party members into buying one of my shitty forged paintings for an extortionate price#and also managed to get us out of a fight by using charm person on the town mayor#so i feel like i'm pulling my weight

ordered my buffy and vampire mansion t shirts in 3XL and shock horror!! they were way too big to wear (like. I can’t even describe how big it was I looked like I was wearing a poncho) and I’ve had to return them and exchange for XL ones. #tboyproblems I guess lmfao going too big for dysphoria and then having to go way smaller 🤡
#at least teepublic doesn’t charge you for exchanges though!!#thank fuck because I only bought them bc they were on sale and the shipping was absolutely extortionate#mcr#my chemical romance#gerard way#pool boy at the vampire mansion#btvs#buffy the vampire slayer

I feel like the "thank you, love you" from dan to us at the end was a result of the relaxation of the bubble tea 🙏 our lord and saviour
#dnp#it's so brilliant that they just ordered boba midway through a vid#considering I've spent an extortionate amount of money at my local boba shop this week it feels very personal <3

WIP Wednesday💛💛💛
'tis Wednesday! I've been looking forward to sharing this part of the WIP, because I've been enjoying writing greatly these past few days (probably because I'm working again as of next week and inevitably won't have as much time)!
Tagged by @thequeenofthewinter 💛
Here are some more festival shenanigans, following on from last week's WIP, featuring Elyse, tarts, and a very drunken Hrongar....
"Where's Balgruuf, Elyse? I thought you were with him," Hrongar drawled just as he finished what was most certainly not his first tankard of mead that night based on his breath alone, taking a seat beside her on one of the benches beneath the Gildergreen where she had hidden herself away from the main bustle of the festival. "He was… pretty damn eager to spend the festival wi' you."
Having been caught by him in the middle of eating some of the tarts that she had taken far too great of a liking to because of just how delectable and cheap they were, she had to quickly wipe some of the pastry crumbs from around her mouth before she could properly speak. "We decided to check out a few of the stalls together, before he realised the time and said that he needed to return to Dragonsreach soon…" She then pulled the remaining tarts, which had been laid out on a cloth beside her, closer to her leg and hopefully out of sight, though the one she had been eating rested on her lap. "He's probably back there now, if you're looking for him?"
His face scrunched up at her response. "Idiot had an opportunity…" he attempted to mutter under his breath, just for it to come out much louder than he likely anticipated, and leaving her feeling puzzled by what he meant. "I'm not looking for 'im. Just thought the two of you would be together." He then shrugged, and leaned back. "By th' way… You're not hidin' those cakes well."
Scowling, she grabbed her half-eaten treat, then bit into it. She had been very much enjoying not having company as she indulged herself, but it seemed that the drunken Hrongar was there to stay given that he was now reclining to her side. She also didn't half feel perplexed by... well, everything he had said.
Once she had finished eating, she remained sat for a few moments, fingers digging into her knees as she contemplated either seeking a new place to finish her remaining tarts, or just letting him continue to linger in her personal space. Or perhaps she would even try to seek out Lydia, Dagny, and Mila on their 'sweet treat tour of Whiterun' just to get her mind away from the awkwardness.
She settled on returning to Dragonsreach.
Just as she stood up, and ensured that her remaining tarts had been carefully bundled away into the satchel which she had with her, a large hand suddenly grasped hold of her wrist. She turned to face Hrongar and glared at him as he held on tightly and didn't allow her to pull herself free.
"Jus'… before y' go," he mumbled, his voice starting to slur even more than it had been previously. "He's got walls built up. But… I think a dragon can bring 'em down."
#meg has done some writing#dragonborn oc elyse#fic - the perfect storm#yes that vendor absolutely was scamming balgruuf in the wip from last week but he didn't think to question it lol#(though i am intending to reduce that price tag from previously because i think it's a bit too extortionate in hindsight!!!!)#but let's just say that elyse got more than double for the same price!!#and we all know that there's that goddamn markup anyway at events and stuff. i went out a few weeks back and my god. the prices.#hrongar is the wingman which balgruuf neither wants nor needs. or even knows about. but is getting anyway.

getting my stupid fucking sentimental heart into things & putting a bit of craft and time into my mum’s anniversary gift for a change. fuck my stupid fucking sentimental heart
#personal#being the youngest of the household is deluding yourself into believing you’re capable of fixing a broken family :)#and no matter how many times it’s made clear to you things will never change. you’ll go to your grave wishing it would#pretending it could#anyway. i’m printing a bunch of photos onto card and cutting them like polaroids & then making a printcard box/envelope thing to put them in#it sounds naff when i say it like that but srsly it’s kinda cute and i wanna make it work#i have a personal thing against the existence of Actual Polaroids (extortionately expensive and overrated) so i’m reimagining them Better…

Casey can't even fathom the body horror medical malpractice shit both of her boyfriends went through when she died
What were the odds she'd date both of the only two dudes that were ever resurrected from the grave with fantasy magic gems and became extorted victims of their savior. Like she really found the only guys that'd go through this same specific situation and had deep romantic lives with both of them
#tragic canon polycule stuff#i think it mightve been implied she dated them at different times but the fact they knew of each other & both loved her so much they both#carried a memento of her on their person 10yrs later & also never knew the other was a zombie victim too? -- it reads better if they dated#her at the same time. to me. didnt date each other tho. icr the term but you know. however they SHOULD have dated post canon after finding#out about each other & their mutual extortioner died#that wouldve been a good full circle. one has kids the other doesn't but neither moved on do you SEE my vision#it could be toxic or it could be healthy it has the range#anyway that poll made me think about tov a lot again the last day & a half. dont think I'll replay it any time soon if ever tho#yeager tov#raven tov#casey tov#what would their ship name even be. yeacasven? ravcasger? yeacasrav? idk man sometimes ship names really click & other times they Do Not#tales of vesperia#posts that only cater To Me because no one on my dash knows what I'm talking about but it's fine
