Thero: ... why?

Seregil: cause alec is not around and he's like 80% of my impulse control.

Optional addition:

Thero, softly: What about the remaining 20%?

... okay your point is?

? Don’t like or reblog my posts if you ship a 15 year old with his 30 year old boss or his brother?

Hi tumblr,

well, I do hate to go this way, but frankly, right no I don't know what to do anymore.

I'm pretty much entirely broke. Not will-be-evicted-broke but ok-girl-you-sure-you-need-to-eat-this-month broke. Been for a while, actually, but I always managed to scrape by.

I work full time and earn marginally more than minimum wage and – it's enough. It's little, but it's enough for me to pay my bills and keep myself clothed and fed.

Hell, it is even enough to pay off some insurance debts that came up during my unemployment without neccessarily going hungry.

However – that's pretty much about it. Any bigger incident is potentially lethal to my financial stability and I had quite a few of these recently. The latest ones involve emergency key door opening services, inkasso offices and the annual electricity bill and right now I am kind of beyond the point of can't anymore.

The last few months have been stressful, worrying about money, figuring out what to pay off first and when and how to still get your fridge full and some meals cooked.

I had help. Quite a lot of help, indeed (and it did save my ass big time). But thing is – right now I know I can't ask my friends and family for any more help, financially, because I do already owe them money.

I would really love to pay my private debts with them. I also would love to be rid of the debts with non-private entities. (given the circumstances, the latter take the priority seat).

Also, I really, really would like to afford some food during April.

That's pretty much all.

So...

I know there are a lot of posts like these floating around here and I know most of your are in tight spots as well, but if you have a dollar or two to spare, I'd be immensly grateful. Every bit helps me getting out of this debt hole without neccessarily suffering malnutrition during the next few months.

So if you can spare a bit, my paypal adress is [email protected]

And if there's anything I can do for you to reimburse you, writing, poetry, analyzing some shit, rambling about history to you, paying you back at some point, please, please, please let me know.

I thank you so much in advance,

with lots of love

Yo-yo, it’s your boy Joey and sugarplum Andi here for this week’s weekly-author-feature! We’re the two, new reviewers here in the viktuuri crew, so nice to meet ya~

Love is Coming Home + The Ties That Bind

Though the writer tends to get a bit flowery with their descriptions and with setting the scene, the author has a knack for capturing the atmosphere through the characters’ eyes. There’s a nostalgic-feel in how the author writes, and it leaves a strong impression when you sit back after a cozy read. The Ties That Bind beautifully portrays a ballet!AU, and though I know nothing about ballet, I was captivated by the characters’ movements and @que-bae knows how to lead strong with a first impression.

Favorite spots + Sing for me

siberianchan has a straightforward approach that takes you along for the ride. With bits of witty humor sewn in to add a zest to the characters’ personalities, their works makes for an enjoyable read. The writer has a detached way of writing, which adds to the interesting commentary between characters and the scenes that follow-up. Sing for me was an interesting choice with the musical flair and the theatrical strings that were in play throughout the piece, and siberianchan handled the AU spectacularly!

Batter Up! + Icicles Melt In Summer

The writer clearly exhibits an excellent ability to balance out different types of writing, as demonstrated in the two works linked above. Batter Up! Is a wonderfully hilarious fanfiction; the work is well-developed and polished by various point-of-views. In contrast, Icicles Melt In Summer is a very sweet piece that brings to life all of the character’s intense feelings, demonstrating a clear expertise in writing emotional scenes. Although this does bring downsides, as some of the character’s personalities might have seemed a bit detached from reality, or ever-so-slightly OOC, their works were still immensely enjoyable.

stalemate + it’s fixed

An extremely engaging vocabulary, heartfelt storylines and gorgeous writing are what silencedmockingjay’s works are made out of. Right off the bat, I was blown away by the amount of description and descriptive words their work uses, as they accentuate what needs to be accentuated, sharpen the portrayal of various character’s personalities and fabricate intricate plots. On the downside, I feel that their content, especially “it’s fixed” could use with some progress and sheer force in terms of truly developing and fleshing out entire scenes, but their vibrant plotlines more than make up for it. The absolute new, “fresh” AUs blew it away, with “it’s fixed” being a Robotics AU sporting an android!viktor and “stalemate” being an introduction to their No Game No Life AU, and I would love to see what new works and improvement they could go through!

the “real” viktor nikiforov + the one I’ll slayeth; the other slayeth me

Right from the start, I was hooked on this author’s works. They have a clear, concise style that is truly well-rounded in all aspects. There may be nothing major to note that stands out immediately as you go through these works, however they are balanced, comprehensive reads written beautifully. In terms of the works themselves, T.R.V.N. explores a fresh take on a  “catfish dating app” universe, while “the one I’ll slayeth; the other slayeth me” puts a spin on the stereotypical time travel AUs we see, leaving us in perfect suspense; the author has clearly dedicated a lot of time and heart to these works!

20 Days (of you and me) + I Didn’t Know I Was Lonely Until I Saw Your Face

I didn’t realize how funny the original show was until I saw a sly reference in I.D.K.I.W.L.U.I.S.Y.F., and it struck me to how extra Viktor Nikiforov was. Guaranteed, I was met with that same extra-ness and knew that I found a comedy-writer. The author has a  straightforward-style, jazzed with nuances from the original show that spark a familiar nostalgia. 20 Days (of you and me) offers an interesting insight into the life of Viktor and Yuuri, through 20 days in St. Petersburg. Getting through the challenges of language barriers and establishing where they are in their relationship. The author does a fine job with showing the contrast between cultures, and it feels like you’re taking a step into their world.
