hey. i (disabled trans femme person) need urgent help escaping abuse.

i come to you with some very bad news and a long story, i guess. it's a story of financial abuse and years and year of my life in vain.

snippets of this were things ive talked about before, but theyve been intensifying recently to a point that i can't ignore them anymore. they dont blend into the background anymore. figurateively, im being poisoned, and im feeling it.

look below the cut for further details of what's happening. i wish i could've been more concise, but the ongoing situation is convoluted and its hard to wrap my whole head around it sometimes.

ive had my patreon for around 7 years, now. since the beginning, i wanted it to become sizable and to earn me a living eventually; it never did.

ive also released several games, which, again, didnt earn me a living. ive done a lot of work on projects under nda, which didnt earn me a living either.

none of it came together.

as a result of this, i have spent that past while being strongly supported through donations from people like you on tumblr and discord (thank you ;;) and... from my parents.

the latter is the crux of this. their control over my finances lends them a very strong influence over what i am allowed to do and what im not allowed to do in my life.

as a result of this, they have essentially kept me from pursuing the jobs and the life ive wanted to pursue for the past 7 years. anything i was able to come up with wasn't good enough. game development is an "expensive hobby". "an outcrys" nomination was a "costly adventure that didn't retain value". my art is "sad and depressing, no one wants to see it". video games are "not real, you need a second foot to stand on".

so ive been toiling away, trying to please their whims of what im "supposed to be doing", using precious time i couldve used entering the industry i actually wanted to enter learning skills i didnt want for jobs i didnt want, applying and being denied. for a brief while, between 2020 and 2023, i was allowed to do my game development thing, finally, because of covid and such. that grace period is now over.

they have also been strongly controlling my bodily autonomy as it relates to choices im allowed to make without having to suffer emotional damage from them, which has been paranoia-inducing to say the least.

at this moment, i am at a crossroads.

either, i take on a job that pays whatever my parents think is enough for a living and is the "right kind of job" (with my lack of education outside of artistic fields: close to impossible); or i find a well-paying high-profile job in the video game industry (with my qualifications and the state of the industry: close to impossible); or i enter my country's disability pay system.

i have a disability diagnosis, so this would be within reach. it would also be a good deal more money than my parents are keeping me drowning with. to succeed with my application however, id need to:

close my patreon

stop developing games (not enough resources, mental or financial)

be at the whims of this country's political situation and how it relates to welfare, which is in sharp decline

im asking you all for help choosing none of the above.

i want to be free from their financial influence. i want to be able to instantly send them back their "alimony" and know that they can no longer direct my life according to any whim they may have. i want more time to be allowed to stand on my own two feet without being emotionally hurt and financially controlled - because it is nothing short of killing me.

i've started goal on ko-fi - 6000 $. i need a buffer like that in order to be able to have a bargaining chip in this arrangement, at least for half a year.

i need that money to be able to refuse the money my parents only use to have power over me and my life choices, to be able to consistently emotionally harm me and my prospects to become independent in the way i want to.

thank you for reading. even just talking about this makes me feel a little better. please help, and donate if you are able.

If you have 1 parent (single mom, single dad) just answer in regards to them (unless like its a situation where you KNOW you’re like or have been compared to the other absentee/step parent [you aren’t like your mom who raised you but later she married a woman who you have a lot in common with; you were raided by your dad but you’ve met or have heard from others you are a lot like your dad, etc.]

if you have multiple parents of the same gender (2 dads no mom, etc.) arbitrarily choose and then just tag your reasoning (culturally a stay at home father is more akin to a traditional mother — i have a butch mom and a femme mom so i called the butch one dad in this poll, I’m a man so im calling the dad i relate to the least my mom — etc.)

If you don’t have records but can reasonably extrapolate your family remained in the same area use the year/era of the first regional government/title/tribe you know your family lived under (if you know your family lived under Ottoman rule but don’t know anything else/earlier you can say your knowledge goes back to the 1600s, etc.)

Curious about other Americans celebrating thanksgiving/non-Americans with other “locals at of family traveling to one house to share a large meal” holiday traditions

How do you share cooking/dishes?

Only the host cooks

Everyone cooks at home and brings it to the host’s house

The host is the head chef and other family members provide help

The host cooks the main dish, others cook independently in the host kitchen

Nobody in my family extended or otherwise has ever cooked for me (SAD!)

I saw that T-Girl Egg Swag poll in a reblog and thought it was a tournament, and I'm a little sad it's not because Naruto would stand a chance of winning.

I’ve been too busy for the tournament game recently…..I’m sorry anon to have failed you

why is it that the kind of people who often choose to host heated poll battles are almost always the kinds of people who can not handle being exposed to opinions than their own. it's like judging a cake bake off except you can't eat sugar.

[nickandros]

the poll is always shit like "best fictional criminal!!" and they'll include everything from like. buffalo bill to a villain from a tv show aimed at children and then scream cry and throw up when people from all camps come and start dogfighting in the tags like bro YOU threw the chip at the beach and now you're telling us you're afraid of seagulls?
