podcasts, memes, art, music, various tv shows, and the like.
Most of this stuff is reblogged but I'm trying to make more original content. I tag that as "I do a thing". I like Watsky, Jukebox The Ghost, The Front Bottoms, Bastille, Panic At The Disco, and I also like musicals bc i'm trash. idk what else to put here but apparently you can't access the about page on mobile so for all you app users, here ya go
I’m going to a new account from now on. I’ll still check this one occasionally, but I’ll main on a different one. @my mutuals, (even if we’ve never actually spoken lol) if someone who posts the same type of stuff that I do follows you, it’s probably me. Feel free to follow back, or don’t. I’m not your dad. Anyway if you want to know what my new account is, just message me and I’ll let you know.
- Go in at the end of the month
- Buy the model of the year right before the model for the next year comes out (dealers get desperate to sell the old models)
- Refuse to put any money down. Say that if they ask you to put down money, you’ll leave
- Seriously. If they ask you to put down money say you need to go and walk out
- If there’s another dealership nearby, tell them that you’re walking there right after you leave
- If a deal seems unfair but you really like the car, tell them you’re going to another dealership and leave. Chances are, they’ll call back the next day with a better deal
- If possible, after the first call wait till the last few days of the month and they’ll likely call again with an even better deal
- Look around for family and friends that need a car. If you buy more than one car from the same dealership you’ll get a much better deal
- If a family member/friend is looking for a used car while you’re looking for a new car or vice versa, still get the used car from the same dealership
- If you decide to buy a new car after a few years, trade in the old car and buy a new one from the same dealership. Companies appreciate loyalty and will likely offer you a lower price

(My dad went to college for finance, more specifically he looked a lot at stocks and how to sell things for a maximum profit. He learned it from the perspective of the company but it also works in his advantage)
- When you walk into a dealership, the salesperson will immediately “be your friend”. They’ll act like it’s you and them against dealership - Sometimes a salesperson will offer to talk to the manager. This does not mean anything. Chances are, they’re going to have small talk for a few minutes and come back out - Carefully consider the usefulness of an extended warranty. You’re losing money unless there’s an accident or issue soon after you buy the car - This wasn’t so clear before, but you’re still going to have to pay a down payment. What you should refuse is a securing payment - The securing payment is a psychological trick. You feel more tied to the company so you’re more likely to buy from them - You’re extremely more likely to buy at the last place you go, but with the securing payment you’re less likely to go to another dealership due to a sense of commitment - A salesperson may say it’s a limited time deal. Most times, unless this is the last of that years model, or it’s a special event, the deal is not going away and will still be there if you decide to go back. It’s not necessarily a deal breaker, but you should be suspicious if it’s said to you - Save money by asking to buy the floor model. There’s no mileage on it, but it’s worth less because people have sat in it - Or, ask to buy the demo if you’re willing to buy a car with some mileage. The depreciation of the price is usually worth it - Each can get you a few thousand dollars off due to the fact that it is technically not a “new” car anymore - Always look at the websites and play around with the build a car, payment calculators, or anything other offered features. Make sure when you’re using it you look at the down payment and the number of months that you will be paying for the car over - Try to not buy a really obscure model because the trade in value will be lower - Get the maximum down payment you can afford to lower the interest cost - Look for a crash rating test. A 5 is going to get good trade in value, and is much safer

Important info if you have friends/family with adhd/add
I want to add that if you see them repeating things to themselves they might be trying to focus on not forgetting something
Also if you speak to them and it seems like theyre paying attention to you but they reply with something out of context they might have had a hard time trying to process what you said, they werent ignorning you
whatever you do, don’t think about the possibility that lup, in the umbrastaff, went into the white space with taako in the eleventh hour and saw everything he saw.
don’t think about her watching as the chalice rewinds through his past and seeing nothing but static where she should be. all those memories of growing up together, life on the road, hopping from caravan to caravan, watching each other’s backs, teaching each other spells - all those memories that she treasures, memories that sustained her over ten lonely years in wave echo cave, memories that kept her sane and grounded and herself because they were so important to her…. all of them, just gone. staticked over like it’s nothing.
and she knows by know that taako’s forgotten her. she knows lucretia must have pulled some bullshit with fisher and the mission logs and that’s why no one remembers, she knows all that and understands it’s not their fault, not his fault for forgetting her - but that doesn’t stop it from hurting. it doesn’t take the sting out of seeing the most important person in her life unable to even acknowledge her existence.
and then she gets to watch the years he spent alone - actually, properly alone for the first time in his life, and how terribly he took it, to the point where he latched on to the first person who would have him despite the fact that their working relationship was unhealthy and unbalanced right from the start. she watches his pride and vanity get the better of him without her there to help keep it in check, she watches sazed’s hero worship turn to jealousy turn to resentment turn to murderous intent and she’s fucking terrified at how close he came to actually taking out his intended target. taako could have died in glamour springs with the others - died for good, with no lich powers or starblaster to bring him back - and she never would have known. out of everything she sees in the white space, that scares her the most of all.
and then after all that, just to put the cherry on top of this sundae of misery, the chalice decides to give thb one parting “fuck you” and shows them phandalin burning in glorious hi-def slow mo cuz it’s a vindictive little shit of a relic. meaning that, not only does lup - the same gal who values the fuck out of sentient life to the point where she was willing to fight her crewmates in order to protect a bunch of robots - get to watch the relic she created burn up thousands and thousands of innocent civilians…. oh no, that’s not enough. she also gets to see her creation kill one barold j bluejeans, the love of her fucking life. so that’s fun too.
(which is not even to mention thb encountering barry outside of refuge and his helpless little “they don’t trust me, lup” and she’s RIGHT FUCKING THERE but can’t do anything to make him feel better and just guhhh. cut our poor girl some fucking slack, griffin, she’s had a shitty enough day as it is)
i just, i dunno man. the more i think about the end of that arc in the context of what we know now, the more upsetting it is. lup deserves a fucking break after all she went through in eleventh hour. and her body back. and $15. with 110 years worth of interest for her troubles.
My family is concerned because I hardly laugh at a comedy show with good jokes but this image brings me to tears clutching my stomach from laughing I’m concerned too
hey gibbon - okay, I’m gonna ask you to do this, but please don’t get violently euphoric this time - I can’t reach this box. could you… [ sigh] extend your arms to get it for me?
[bones creaking painfully, gibbon screeching in pleasure and pain] YYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABBBBBYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
forget wanderlust, sonder, all those words for vague dreamy feelings… what I’m asking for is a concise word for the feeling you get when someone makes an assumption about you that’s 100% correct but you really don’t like that anyone was able to make that assumption. for now I’m calling it a fuckor
“he asked me ‘you main junkrat right’ and a wave of fuckor wracked my feeble body”
send me asks. make me tremble with fuckor
Someone walked up to me in Barnes and Noble like 4 years ago and asked me where the Manga section was. I told them where, but I also let them know that i didn’t work there. They kind of shrugged then looked me dead in the eyes and said.
“Idk, you just looked like you might know.”
I changed my complete aesthetic after hearing that come to jesus, god fearing, exposé of a line.
The other day my manager admitted that she still shops at hot topic, and when I told I knew already because she seemed like the type she threatened to fire me
Activate my fuckor in my inbox
I want to experience fuckor too. Send an assumption about me to confirm or deny to the best of my ability
