#save regularly

[squishycat330]

ok so I was gonna draw the picture of Raph and Mona form the background of ‘Shredders Revenge’ but I couldn’t find I high quality image so I found a video screenshotted it and re-made it!

I did my best! I hope it’s usefull to some people! I actually really like it! I used a sight called Pixelart.com it’s got a lil heart as it’s logo and stuff, it doesn’t save automatically and I had to re-do the full version 3-4 times, it’s good that I take progress screenshots!

I think their Adorable!

Also I apparently have fallen behind on posts and have yet to finish Donnie. . . I know, I’m sorry. . .

My Reactions and Thoughts to the Starry Line Special Live (from what i could remember)

(Long post ahead!)

Voice Drama 1:

“Ahhhhhh Banri!!! He’s back from the hospital!!”

“he’s a TEnSAi after all”

“oh????!!! a minilive?? thats so cute wtf”

Stage Performance (part 1):

“OH!!! they’re wearing their crossing live outfits!!”

“It’s the opening the opening the opening—“

“Aight Steady goes!!”

*insert surprised scream here* “AAAA THE NARUTO OPENING, WHICH MEANS THERES GONNA BE COVERSS”

“Right here, right now! BanG!”

Masa: On bass, *camera pans to Mae playing*

Me: MELISSAAAAAAA

“Oh lord here comes the long high note—“

“He held that note for FIFTEEN SECONDS, AND CONTINUED ON. HOW???”

“Oh!!! Bleach opening!! (Ngl I forgot they covered that song, which is sad cuz I didn’t remember DEEP VOICE MORISHII)”

Guitar riffs of Ryuuseiu is played vaguely, cue me scratching my head wondering what song it is (and thanks to Argocord for somehow recognizing it which promptly led to me losing my shit and feeling emotional the whole song)

“RYUUSEIUUUU”

“The ending!!! Of the anime!!!”

“KIMI TO, NANTO”

Voice Drama 2:

“NAYUTA?????”

“Oh no Ren skcbabajbc, he sounded like he choked on something”

“YOOOOO NAYUTA COMING IN TO COVER REN”

Stage Performance (part 2):

“OHHH OGAJINN!!!”

Ogajin walks up to the stage looking uninterested af

“He’s so in character HAHAHAHA”

“OHHH READY STEADY??? READY STEADY!!!”

“WHY are the holes in the pants of his knees so big???”

“Man he’s just straight up vibing to the music, and honestly? Same tbh”

Stage shows both Masa and Ogajin, separated by A GLASS WALL RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE

I literally lost my shit when I saw that

Which led me to think “Oh Starting Over???”

Cue Masa singing loudly into the mic like it’s nobody’s business with “SAA IKOUZE”

“STAND UP! HASHIRE! Nande demo starting over!!” (I still love how Ogajin sings this part)

“Only you can do it! Do it! Go for it sa do it! Do it now!

Throughout the performance I kept thinking bout how good Ogajin sings in his live performances??? Like holy shit he sounds so much like the studio version that it’s scary

Ogajin: Karma.

Me: OHHH!!!!! YOOOOO WHAT???!!!! THE KARMA???? THE SAME ONE FROM GARUPA????

Also I just wanna mention that whoever did the lighting deserves a raise, like damn it’s rlly good

Aaaaaa I honestly rlly love how much Masa and Ogajin’s voices mix so well together!!

THEYRE REACHING OUT TO EACH OTHER, but the glass wall is separating them lmao (undoubtedly one of the highlights of the live tbh)

But yeah the image above might also be playing into the hand symbolism Ren and Nayuta has goin on?? They’ve been showing this A LOT in their MVs

Ogajin: *makes brief eye contact with Masa before walking off the stage immediately after the song ends*

Masa: *acting as Ren, looking towards Ogajin walking off* ...Nayuta-kun??

Me: Wow he rlly just left the stage like that skfnekwkgnn

Voice Drama 3:

“Nayuta rlly walked off the whole restaurant, what a mood”

Ren shows his gratitude to Nayuta by thanking him, Nayuta kinda just responds with “it’s nothin much” or like he’s brushing it off

Idk I’m just rlly happy that we see more of them interacting after the anime ended

Also there was some Wataren crumbs?? Like barely

ok so idk where exactly this happens during the live but

Ren says some stuff like “Welcome home, Banri!”

And Banri replies with “I’m back!” like “Tadaima!”

And i honestly just broke down then and there, like i WEEPED when he said that AAAAAAA ILY SM BANRIII 💖💖💖

Stage Performance (part 3):

“AGAINNNN AHHHHHH”

“OH the cameraman is tryin to show the performance like the anime thru Banri’s POV??? I love that omg” (give this guy a raise too tbh)

Cameras kept switching back and forth between the guy on stage and the ones around the stage (ofc it looked a bit funny since everyone was basically facing the cameraman like he was Banri lol)

The whole band sang the “yeah yeah yeah, whoa yeah yeah yeah” part of Goal Line to start it off (they wanted us the audience to sing along as well which was vry cute)

Cameras tried to follow the same angles as the anime (the one where they perform at DesFes) which I found rlly cool

“AHAAAA STARRY LINE, OF COURSE, this whole live was named after this song after all”

And then I basically vibed to the rest of the song cuz it’s such a special song

“Oh they’re leaving, come back! Skfngng”

The lights were off at the stage for like 5-10 minutes?? AND THEN THEY CAME BACK WEARING THE STARRY LINE MERCH (including Ogajin ofc since this was now the encore)

Encore:

they asked the audience to choose a song for them to play, and turns out Starting Over was the most popular one! (ngl i wanted Pray but i understand that ppl wanted to hear more of Ogajin)

So then they played Starting Over, except that it was VERY OOC (but still fun nonetheless!)

“OHHH WAIT WAIT WAIT”

“ARE BOTH OGAJIN AND HYUUSUKE SINGING THEIR PARTS OF THE SONG TOGETHER????? HOLY SHIT-”

and if u thought that Ogajin was vibing before, then think again cuz this man was straight up jamming out on stage whilst still keepin the nayuta voice

After that, Ogajin left the stage, and Mae tried to keep him from leaving lol

“oh there he goes”

“VOICE???? VOICEEEEEE”

“KANSEI WO, AGERO”

OH OMG they all sang it in acapella form at first, then slowly led into the song with the instruments, I remember freakin out over this tbh

“ARE YOU DREAMING? YES! WE ARE THE ONE! BANG!”

OH they also tried to do the same camera angles like the anime?? that was cool

“OH NOO WAIT WHAT HAPPENED TO MAE’S MIC?? IT GOT CUT OFF OH NO”

you couldn’t hear Wataru’s line so it was just instrumentals until Ren’s part came along

“OH thank goodness they fixed Mae’s mic, whew”

“CALLING, CALL DREAMING WORLD! CALLING, CALL YOUUUU”

...and then they went offstage!

i could prob ramble more about the backstage session, but i wasn’t there in the first half of the free session haha

and from what i’ve seen of someone’s live tweeting of the paid one, it seems that it was pretty emotional! (since it was directed towards Masa’s birthday, and they ended up tearing up?? awww)

6 Simple Money Habits That Can Transform Your Finances

It’s easy to feel like managing money takes a lot of effort. You scroll through financial tips online and suddenly feel like you need five apps, a new budget system, and a second job just to keep up. But the truth is, you don’t need to change everything at once.

In fact, starting with just a few small habits can make a noticeable difference. These aren’t flashy strategies. They’re the kinds of actions that become second nature over time—and that’s the whole point.

If you want to feel more in control of your money without feeling stressed out, try these six simple habits. One small step at a time really is enough to get started.

1. Make Saving a Daily Habit

Saving money doesn’t always mean setting aside huge chunks of your paycheck. It can be something you do daily, even if the amount is small. When you build the habit of saving regularly, it becomes automatic.

A good way to do this is to try a structured savings challenge. One popular method is the 100 days of saving approach. You save a small amount each day—maybe a few dollars or whatever fits your budget—and stay consistent for 100 days straight.

You can do this with cash and envelopes or go digital with an app or a spreadsheet. Track your progress each day, and you’ll stay motivated as the numbers grow.

The great thing about this method is that it builds discipline without feeling overwhelming. You don’t need to make big sacrifices. Just focus on doing one small thing each day that supports your long-term goals.

2. Review Your Spending Weekly

One of the best habits you can build is checking in with your money once a week. It doesn’t have to be a big review session. Just 10 or 15 minutes every Sunday (or whatever day works best for you) is enough.

Look at your purchases from the past week. What did you spend the most on? Were there any surprises? Are you seeing a pattern in impulse buys?

When you check in regularly, it’s easier to adjust your habits before things get off track. Waiting for your monthly statement often means it’s too late to fix anything.

Use your banking app or write things down in a notebook. You’ll start to feel more connected to your money, which makes it easier to stay on top of everything.

3. Set a Monthly Money Goal

Big financial goals can feel far away. That’s why it helps to focus on one small win each month.

This could be anything from saving $100 to cooking at home more often. Maybe you want to cut out one streaming subscription or put an extra $50 toward debt. Whatever your goal, keep it simple and measurable.

Write it down and put it somewhere visible—on your fridge, bathroom mirror, or phone screen. At the end of the month, check your progress. Celebrate the win, or just use it as a lesson for next time. Then, pick a new goal for the next month.

These mini-goals help you build momentum. They remind you that progress is possible, even when it feels slow.

4. Automate What You Can

There’s a lot going on in life. Remembering to move money around is easy to forget. That’s where automation can help.

Set up automatic transfers from checking to savings. Automate your credit card payments so you never miss one. If you’re investing, choose a fixed amount to invest monthly and let the system do it for you.

Automation makes things easier. It removes the pressure to “remember” and lowers the risk of overspending. Once you’ve set it up, the habit takes care of itself in the background.

Just make sure to review your automatic settings every few months. That way, you can adjust them if your income or expenses change.

5. Keep a "Wants" List Before Buying

This habit is especially helpful if you often find yourself buying things you didn’t plan for.

Instead of clicking “buy now” the moment something catches your eye, add it to a “wants” list. This could be a note on your phone or a list in your journal.

Then, wait 3 to 5 days. If you still want the item after that, go for it. But you’ll likely find that many of those “must-haves” don’t seem so urgent after a few days.

This small pause between wanting and buying makes a huge difference. It helps you stay mindful about your spending without forcing you to cut out all the fun stuff.

6. Make Money a Normal Topic

Money often feels like something we’re not supposed to talk about. But the more we keep it quiet, the more stressful it can become.

Start by having small, simple conversations. You don’t need to share your full budget with anyone. Just talk about your goals, ask how someone else saves, or share a tip that worked for you.

If you’re in a relationship, make it a habit to check in about money regularly. Even 10-minute chats can help prevent confusion and miscommunication.

You can also learn a lot from your friends or coworkers. Everyone manages money differently. You might pick up new ideas or discover tools you didn’t know existed. Talking about money helps normalize it. And once it’s not so awkward, it gets easier to make smart choices without second-guessing yourself.

When it comes to improving your finances, you don’t need to do everything at once. In fact, trying to change too much too fast usually backfires. Start with one habit. Maybe it’s saving a little each day. Maybe it’s checking your spending on Sundays. Over time, those small changes add up.

You’ll feel more confident, more in control, and less stressed about money. And that’s the real win. Remember—progress doesn’t have to be perfect. It just has to be consistent.

We all have certain financial goals in life. Say, we need to save for down payment of our next car after three years or you may like to save for a foreign trip. You may have long-term goals like your dream home or your child’s education. Linking your savings to these goals can be a great impetus. When you set a goal for saving money like education, marriage, vacation, child’s education or retirement, you tend to figure out how much money you will need and how long it might take for you to save it.

After dying to the revenant in Redcliffe Castle three times, why wouldn’t you save after beating it? I mean, it’s not like there’s a whole lot of conversation afterwards, then the battle with Teagan, then more conversation, a decision about what to do about Connor and then another battle with the chamberlain, all before any autosave.

I have to do all that again.

I have no focus today. And I’m very stupid.
