Michael Jackson definitely did all that shit
Logically I'd say Ianthe saved John so the Nine Houses wouldn't die or maybe even as some type of fourth dimensional power grabbing i can't conceive of but spiritually I think she's just a hating ass bitch.
so much short form video content is just people trying to get me hate other random people in their life, but what they don't understand is that you airing it out on the internet makes me not want to take your side. "i've been falsely accused seven times!!!" suuurrreeee. "my sister doesn't speak to our dad — who lost an arm in Vietnam" L + Bozo + Deserved. "the eleven year olds in my class sing Sexy Redd and it drives me to tears this generation is doomed" im sorry but if ur a teacher and can't handle kids cussing ur ass needs to find a new job.
When I'm at the register i let everyone have their self-serve gas station drinks for free, unless they're a cop or wearing a veteran hat in which case I charge double.
The children yearn for socially acceptable bullying targets
i <3 ur pfp i used to watch the backyardigans so much lol
💖💖💖💖
do u actually hate st
YES !!!
I hate stranger things so much
Incidentally if you know enough about what you're doing you absolutely can get several-hundred-dollars pieces of furniture for like $30
If you know enough about what you're doing, and are able to give it a good enough investment of time and energy, you can overhaul a whole space for free, though it will indeed take some patience and advance planning
And all of these things are actually more effective and more exciting the more anticonsumerist and the more ecofriendly and humanist you get with it
A beautiful space that you genuinely enjoy and like spending time in is not beyond you, I promise
It's something you can learn how to build - whether for both yourself, for the people you love, for your community, or for the people all around you
Tips for doing this/gaining/developing these skills:
It's not usually a one-and-done thing. You need to train yourself to be an opportunist and think outside of the retail boxes
Make a list of every single thing you are looking for, whether it's an arm chair or "something for the wall above my bed," and then keep a look out for any opportunity you might have to Get the Thing:
Make some kind of blog or pinterest or vision board for the kinds of things you're interested in, so you can start figuring out what you like and really developing and creating a personal sense of taste
Make two lists, saved somewhere you can easily add to them: (1): Things you need (e.g., a new chair, a new outdoor table, a bunch of wall art) and (2): Things that would be nice to have (e.g., cool shit, also a bunch of wall art)
If you live somewhere in a city where people put old/free stuff out on the curb (ime this is most places since COVID), keep an eye on the curbs and corners whenever you're driving somewhere or going for a walk
Make a habit of visiting thift stores every so often (esp with friends), even just a couple times a year. You have to make this a habit because it's not like a regular store where you can basically Guarantee whether they will have what you need/are looking for a lot of the time - so keep in mind all the areas in which you might want to Get Something, and keep checking back regularly (that sounds so tedious if you do this right it's actually really fun
Hole-in-the-wall vintage and antique shops will often have some really good pieces for surprisingly cheap
Literally look up all the stores in your area using the keywords: thrift, vintage, reuse, consignment. Keep a list of them saved somewhere so that when you're in the mood to hit something up, you have easy options ready at hand
Even better, if you can - look up stores using those keywords for the nearest wealthy area(s). "Consignment" and vintage stores in those areas will often still be way fancy and pricey - but VERY few things work better than hitting up the three or four nearest Goodwills and Out of the Closests in a rich neighborhood. That shit is so much nicer and more plentiful a lot of the time
Generally, the less something looks like an Apple store, the more successful you'll be
Outlets are also cool. Little known fun fact: Nordstrom has a furniture outlet called GDF Studios. So shit will sometimes be like: at Nordstrom: $700, at GDF Studios: $150, at GDF sale section: $85. If you look in the right places you can find arrangements for a lot of these things
Similarly places like Ross and TJ Maxx that sell leftover stock from other brands for a discount are GREAT and absolutely worth hitting up regularly
Pick a weekend and hit up some garage/estate sales. People will post ads for these on Craigslist and street corners. I do not do this because I don't do mornings, but my aunt who's an artist will sit down with the paper/Craigslist/her facebook groups, circle four to six garage sales she wants to check out on a particular Saturday or Sunday morning, save the details, and then spend the whole morning going to them one after another, bam bam bam, with a list of exactly what she's looking for
Learn how to do some light DIY and redecoration/repair shit yourself (note: I am NOT talking about "make your own cabinets" I'm talking like. "You can fix the scratch marks on your black dresser with a sharpie" and painting your own room or installing your own curtain rods or something
Bribe your friends into helping you paint rooms/haul furniture/etc. with fun times and/or pizza, as is tradition for moving in general
Keep an eye out for creative uses for things. A lot of shit is priced by what it's for and who the target audience is. So a 7ft x 7ft tapestry or wall art piece will probably be expensive (at least if you don't want it shitty and/or dropshipped). A 7ft x 7ft cloth shower curtain with a cute pattern, on the other hand? $20 at somewhere like Target, $10-12 at Ross or something. (This is how I got the giant plant art tapestry above my bed that I get many compliments on)
Keep an eye on your local "free" and "furniture" and "art" sections on Craigslist (be on the lookout for scams tho)
Join the Facebook group for your local branch of Buy Nothing or Free & For Sale (note: things on this often go very fast)
Depending on where you are, your local library or another local organization (e.g. a Grange, 4H, or rotary club, if you're somewhere moral rural)
Church thrift event days are great actually, because it's concentrating stuff from so many people
Swap meets
Clothing swaps
Get involved in local fibercraft or traditional craft groups, esp sewing and/or woodworking. This will connect you with contacts, resources, ideas, possibilities, and - if you get regularly involved enough, esp in a group that's mostly older (which many of these are) - access to stuff people are clearing out of their own stashes
And finally, the biggest, best, most valuable and effective tip, especially for bigger overhauls and straight-up furniture:
Pick the nearest university or college town, especially one where a lot of students live on campus. Look up what date their finals week is. Drive around student-heavy neighborhoods during the week of and after finals. You WILL find some really nice fucking furniture on the curb, I promise
The end of the college/school year is also the best time to check sites like Buy Nothing and Free & For Sale, because people are getting rid of things while they move, and in some cases - especially near nice universities - the things they put on the curb are very, very nice indeed
changing your mind about stuff over time is embarrassingggg but especially when it happens in relatively short time and then u have to be like oh yeah that thing i said 4 months ago? i don’t believe any of that anymore. yeah i know i sounded really confident at the time my bad.
We live in hell. Also I hate this content creator baddddd
John is good villain because he's 'charismatic' in his own way. Like he's blatantly reprehensible but he has a nice guy personality like Joss Whedon or Dan Harmon so you can see how he got a cult to follow him. Most Evil Empire Rulers in scifi are just space Hitler (and by Hitler I mean racism/fascism Devil) but John is like if the tryhard teacher with no boundaries became God and it's awful.
Is Ianthe sexually abusive to Corona? She uses a lot of sexually demeaning language to her and obviously they are innapropriately close with each other. This has been since book 1. But in Nona Cam seems so scared for Corona when We Suffer sends her to Naberianthe. Of course that could just be her alarmed because she knows this plan won't work, but it felt like more. Especially the "kill her?" And then there's that line where Nona's reading Corona's body language, that she looks like a dog who wanted to run free but also wanted to stay put, that rings true for a lot of people in abusive romantic relationships. Obviously Ianthe loves (or at least covets) her sister but I think Muir's a nuanced enough writer to show she could show how both these facts can coexist.
It's also possible Muir pulls a total 180 and Corona is the one in control, we saw the way she threatens to kill herself to get Ianthe to do what she wants (although in Nona it was valid I think). IDK these are just my thoughts. It's probably one of those "it's just toxic on all sides" relationships but it's fun to analyze.
And the shock (and awe haha get it) that Gideon and Ianthe are friends...they literally have the same inferiorty complex, the same sense of humor, and the same taste in women. It was inevitable I fear.
Some people act like Kiriona is some major depature from Gideon's character or some dark twisted version of her and I just...don't see it. Like no, that's her. Sure she's depressed (who wouldn't be) and rude (even in gtn she was rude, we just saw it from her perspective). And she's mean to poor Nona, but honestly that'd probably be my reaction too if the most important goth girl in the world to me got bodysnatched by a zippy twelve year old.
quite mean to make fun of someone's chosen name. Sure that is fictional character, but I would not want to come out to you or anyone who liked that post now
I'm sorry, Paul
Okay finished Nona finally (an Unwanted Guest) and I have so many thoughts (and questions!) but let me just say Tamsyn can write her ass off.
