Wow, I sure did want to know what it feels like to be STUNG BY A YELLOW JACKET, said no one ever! Maintenance said they removed the nest under my porch railing and THEY MOST CERTAINLY DID NOT.
my name is hannah. I’m a 17 year old waitress and I’m here to ask for some help. im getting paid £4.05 an hour and my mum had to quit her work to take care of my dad who’s suffering from a brain tumour. I’m taking as many hours as I can but I just don’t have enough for food this month.
next month, I should be able to start another job where I’ll be getting paid more. but right now, I’m stuck, and I thought I could put this out here incase anyone has anything to spare.
I really appreciate anyone that helps with this, and please don’t feel pressured at all! it’s just if anyone wants to.
Thank you x
edit: I’ll delete this if I get enough to cover!! just so ppl know x
hey everyone. i hate to bother everyone but I still don’t have enough money to buy food for August and I could really use the help. thanks for reading.
I have very suddenly and unexpectedly gone into the hole by $2,670.00. I have been out of work for too long to be able to eat this sort of debt. I budget down to the penny, and barely make enough to meet my base living requirements as it is.
I need to feed myself, and I need to feed my daughter, and I need to pay my rent.
So, here’s the deal.
If you [ buy me a ko-fi here ] I will write you a fic. $10 = 1,000 words minimum, up to $50 = 5,000 words. At this point, I cannot offer longer fics with working full time and parenting and life. As always, feel free to donate more if you like, but I will not be able to write a fic longer than 5,000 words for you.
Naturally, I will also happily accept donations even if you don’t want a fic.
Obviously, I’m not asking for, or expecting miracles, but this is a situation where every single bit will help, but I didn’t want to beg with no benefit to any of you generous souls.
Details:
I have only 3 caveats:
No incest
No underage
No rape/non-con
Fandoms I am comfortable writing for:
Supernatural
Mass Effect
Dragon Age
Final Fantasy (except XV, since I haven’t finished it)
Harry Potter
Star Trek
Some Marvel Cinematic Universe
There are others, but feel free to ask.
Here’s what to do:
Donate to my ko-fi
Send me an email at jupiterajames@gmail.com with your information so that I can identify your donation.
Tell me your prompt and pairing and rating. You can give me as much or as little direction as you wish.
Wait for me to send you and PDF of your story. You approve it, or tell me what you want changed. It happens until you’re happy.
Tell me where you want it posted, if at all. You can keep it to yourself, or I can post (1K) to Tumblr, over 1K to Ao3. You may also post the story anywhere you wish with credit.
Y’all have really overwhelmed me with your kindness. When I woke up this morning I discovered that just shy of half of my total emergency bill. I cannot even begin to express my gratitude properly.
Also, not many of you who did donate sent prompts for fics. If you want one, please don’t hesitate to send me an email to the address in the above post! I’m happy to fulfill them! I’m starting on the ones I have tonight and this weekend.
Again, thank you so much. What you’ve all done so far takes a HUGE weight off of my shoulders.
Next update! You people have been amazing! More than amazing! This morning I reached 50% donations. I have no words. The weight that’s been lifted off of my shoulders with this show of support is bigger than I can tell you. You dudes are friends, mutuals, followers, complete strangers, and yet you’re treating me so kindly and helping me so much. Some of us only have in common shared fandoms, but that’s enough for many of you to consider me worth helping. You’re showing me that I matter and that I’m cared for, and that’s worth everything to me.
I love y’all. I’m so grateful. There’s a lot of love in this corner of the world, and that’s so incredible. 😀 Thank you.
You know what trope I’m really tired of in TV shows and movies? I’m really tired of the “she’s still your mom,” or “he’s still you dad,” tropes.
It’s always the same damn thing. The child is going against the evil, toxic family, and the parents do all of these terrible things. The parent gets caught and locked up. The they try to contact the estranged child.
The child is angry/hurt/bitter/etc. and confides in the hero or heroine that they want nothing to do with their parent who has done everything from abuse their child mentally and/or physically until they were old enough to get away, to killing thousands of people in whatever part of New York City is cursed to have them.
The hero(ine) then always tells the child something along these lines: “lots of people/I never knew my parents and I wish I had so I could tell them everything I think and feel. Your parent is still around and they’re still your parent. You should talk to them.”
No. This trope sucks. Why does it suck? One, it’s a hero(ine) encouraging someone to willfully go be abused for shit that doesn’t even have to do with them. So the writers made you an orphan/killed your parents/locked you in a tower? Sorry, that sucks, dude. However, the hero(ine) becomes part of the problem when they think it’s totally okay for people to accept abuse because they’re the parent.
That’s literally the shittiest dramatic motivation ever. It doesn’t matter who the person is. “It’s still your parent” is pretty much saying, “this is the Suffering Olympics and you should be grateful to have anyone around related to you. Suck it up, buttercup.”
That’s not a heroic thing to do. That’s selfish and shitty. The heroic thing to do would be when the estranged do-gooder child confides that they’re conflicted say, “it doesn’t matter who they are. They abused you for years, and then tried to destroy the world. I think you’re perfectly justified putting them on your block list. Wanna go to the local bar/coffee shop that gets trashed every other episode, and have some drinks?”
