A Stitch Is Moving

StitchLeave a comment

I’ve been putting this off for a few days, but… I’m going to need a lot of help with the literal act of moving bcuz living paycheck2paycheck doesn’t leave room for savings.

While I will be able to pay my rent at my new place (especially if I can get a part time job 4 bills) the current total is 3607 (security and admin due on move-in, movers and cleaners, last bit of rent at current place, and packing materials) and over half of that is due at move-in on June 19th.

a) I may also have to pay to transfer my utilities/pay 2 bills at once there’ll be a 2 week overlap but I’ll find that out closer to July 7th which is my move OUT day at the current place.

b) thought about doing a gfm but then got too anxious

c) i am actively looking for freelance/weekend work

If you can help, the best ways to do so are:

Everything is Very Bad

Stitch1 Comment

I hate asking for help.

That’s why I usually push it off until the last possible moment. Despite the fact that I support everyone else asking for help the second they need it and don’t think that they should feel bad for it, the idea of asking for help myself just doesn’t… work? I feel like a failure – something I’d never think of anyone else ever.

I got terminated from my day job – a local journalism thing – at the end of August. It truly was a case of mutual lack of “good fit” except I’m the only one suffering here. I was living paycheck to paycheck without savings because even with the lower cost of living where I live… I had health problems and food is expensive. After getting terminated, things got infinitely worse.

Music Video Anatomy #11 – NG

StitchLeave a comment

Title: NG

Artist: CHANMINA

Setting:

NG is primarily set in an office full of cubicles. The video opens with the camera panning along the bottom of a bathroom showing the different stalls and their occupants. At first, the stalls only have one person in them but as it pans we get a couple of stalls with two people. The last stall is the one with CHANMINA and then it swings to the very tightly packed office. You get different aspects of the office including the elevator – both inside it and directly outside. There’s also a bathhouse set that is just incredibly fun and what looks like a boardroom but could also be a classroom. Either way, very well-used sets.

[Webtoon Wednesday] High Society

StitchLeave a comment

Title: High Society

Author/Story: Gyeonwoo (original novel)

Artist: Surreuk Comics

Rating: R-15

Genre: Romantic fantasy

Hosted On: Manta Comics

Official Link(s): English

Official Summary:

Sell me! I’ll be the most expensive lady to obtain.

While scheming to get out of an arranged marriage, Cesare runs into Adele, a shoeshine girl from the slums. The two make a 3-month deal to help Cesare elude marriage. However, Adele is so different from the women he’s met before that he can’t help but be drawn to her.

My Thoughts:

High Society is a lot.

It begins with Adele, a shoeshine girl whose identity as a woman has just been revealed by thugs in the back alleys of the city’s slums. In her attempt to escape, she crosses paths with the handsome libertine Cesare Buonaparte. Despite not being related – not a single drop of blood connects them – they look like they could be brother and sister, and that’s exactly what Cesare needs to keep from being swept up into an unwanted and unprofitable match with Lucrezia Della Valle, a young woman who is absolutely obsessed with him.

This is a fake everything series. Cesare hires Adele to pretend to be his sister as they share the same golden eyes and dark hair, promising to make her into a perfect noble woman to be married off to Lucrezia’s older brother instead. Think Pygmalion with an incest angle.

Endeavor Fans Annoy Me

Stitch1 Comment

Rather than writing another Sad Dad ™ Essay since it’s Missing My Dad Day and I have time before I do errands, I wanted to write about a Bad Dad ™.

I think Endeavor fans – fans of Enji Todoroki from My Hero Academia – are probably in my top five “most embarrassing subclass of internet weenie”.

Fandom Hot Take Corner – Week 1/Day 1

Stitch2 Comments

For all our sakes, I’m trying to wring myself dry of free-pouring fandom thoughts by the 31st so here’s another rousing rendition of “No you don’t actually like villains if you get mad and weird when the bad guy in a battle shonen/star wars film you like actually has haters” featuring the jujutsu kaisen fandom.

Season 2 will be done soon and then I will be free from a really unexpected hell… the small circle of Mahito fans who think he’s actually a little meow meow baby boy who should “win” and that is being hated For No Reason. (I love Mahito an unreasonable amount. I enjoy the pain he causes. He’s good because he’s so dang bad. A widdle soft baby he is not and it is weird to see people act like he is/that should be the dominant fandom reading of him.)

Anyway, check the Villain Woobification article from last year that got me called homophobic, racist, and sexist! Think Your Fave Fictional Villain Is the Real Hero? Think Again.

Return of the Klanmance… I guess

Stitch

I don’t know why I’m so surprised to learn about this… but Tillie Cole is now the latest white indie romance author to get roasted on booktok and beyond for a white supremacist romance series… Eight books into a series where at least one character is a white supremacist.

I mean, that he’s actually in the klan.
