conchobarbarian replied to your post: “Frasier Schitt’s Creek AU where Martin started a business that made...”:

or, frasier & niles lose a fortune after a bad investment, & martin shouldn't really be living on his own with his hip so he very reluctantly moves with them & vindictively enjoys their attempts to learn how to be normal people

oh, you’re a genius for this one. Martin is more or less living his normal life in the town (perhaps the motel is the Shangri-La) and immediately befriends Roz and Daphne while Frasier and Niles are constantly on the ledge.

1. either 2. I get home to find that my W2 has arrived so I finally have the proofs of address to get a driver's license in the state I moved to months ago, & also my landlady has decided to give us a washer-dryer in the building, & my job interview tomorrow goes really well & I'm able to effortlessly balance the schedules of my two new part-time jobs, & I'm given a magic parking pass that allows me to park anywhere I want without being anxious about it forever! & also I have coffee

i love everything about this -- yes, your interview goes spectacularly and parking is free for the rest of your life and there are no restrictions on where you can put your car, and not only that but you listen to me cochobarbarian: you’re not just getting a washer/dryer in the building. you’re getting it in your UNIT. and i don’t know how the physics work out but it doesn’t actually take up ANY additional space and you don’t lose any storage and your rent doesn’t go up by ONE PENNY! AMAZING! TBTTCH!!!

Do you have a store? I love your art, especially Granted!

Thank you so much! I do.

I just saw your art of Marco's Andalite form+Ax & his family, & is the pattern on Ax's mom Vulcan script?

Hah, it’s not, but I can see why you’d think so! I was probably thinking of it subconsciously when I “designed” Andalite script, which is to say, I thought about it, decided I hated thinking about the phonology of a language communicated only in thoughts and then drew something pretty that was mostly influenced by classical Arabic calligraphy.

Thanks for asking, though! I drew it all by hand and it took a long time, so I’m glad someone looked at it enough to notice I ripped off Vulcan and Arabic.

the collective soul-bargaining riff

madison: [a post about my lifelong yearning to sacrifice my soul to the Devil for omniscience]

colin: i would have and honestly might still its a legitimate problem in my life

madison: your use of ‘might still’ intrigues me, if you figure out how to do it let me know

erin: possibly the stakes are different bc “eternal damnation” has never held much weight for me but shit yeah I’d do this, find me a crossroads

madison: @colin @erin shit d’you think we could pool our souls and get a better deal in bulk

colin: I can be bargained down to just “fluent in all languages” honestly

madison: this is why we all compile an ultimatum beforehand and you let us do the talking. probably mostly erin, actually, I’m too likely to accept bad terms on accident because it’s funny

erin: (to the devil) “well if total omniscience is too much we’ll take ‘everything except other languages &, like, deep linguistic secrets,’ thanks”

colin: Erin is banned from negotiating actually

madison: guys what the fuck we’re so screwed if I’m party face vs. the Actual Devil

erin: where can we find a responsible adult to arbitrate

(either is fine) I'm graduating college in the spring and it's really overwhelming!!! there are a million things I'm supposed to be doing or have already done, but when I try to start looking at jobs or grad school I feel like I'm drowning & can't get anything done. is there any way to not get so paralyzingly stressed out about the future?

this was so long ago. you’re already in your new POST-GRADUATE life. i hope that you already know what i would have told you, which is: the future is going to come. it comes every day! and even though it’s scary and you can’t know what’s going to happen, like for example maybe you’ll just up and move to chicago even though you’ve literally never even been there, but that’s what life is. 

“the future” doesn’t come all at once. it comes slowly, day by day. there isn’t any arbitrary deadline where suddenly The Future Is Here And You Have To Make All Your Decisions At Once. so i think the thing that i do when i’m stressed is i just remind myself: make one decision. just one. the one that’s going to matter right now. decide what to eat for breakfast, and then decide what to eat for lunch, and then decide whether you want to go for a run in the afternoon, and then decide whether or not you’re going to send in an application for grad school when you get home. 

listen: you’re going to be fine. i know that school is safe and warm and familiar but the real world can be safe and warm and familiar, too. you’re going to do a great job at being a grown up. you already are. <3
