so I've been supporting aerynaeacus for several years now! they are my sweetheart, disabled, and have just had a hell of a life which is not my place to divulge but ofc they are welcome to if they feel up for it, but the jist of it is they've had to deal with several disabilities which, as you can imagine, makes getting income hell

we'd been doing well for a good while! up until my job laid me off in october, bc they kept placing me in non-coding roles in a "computer science" firm (used loosely now that I know better) and then when I was like, no, I want a coding role, all the projects were like, lol well you don't have experience. GEE WONDER WHY

fast forward to today and we're living with our other lovely EternalLie. the idea is to get a place between us so we can split rent and bills and whatnot. except lmao bc of this economy despite me applying for literal MONTHS I have not been able to get another job. (currently working on unemployment which got delayed again)

so rn i'm basically doing projects to buff up my portfolio and we've been living in airbnbs for awhile now. let me tell you, it has been a ride, ESPECIALLY this last place. broken dryer since we got here, AC/heating issues, pests including house centipedes and mice lmao... the kicker is this person is listed as a "super host" so rip us ig

all of us have disabilities so you can imagine how that would make things so much harder, and we've been hanging in there but it's been rough, fam. we're doing everything we can to ensure we don't end up on the streets but we're getting down to the wire, here

so, if you have anything at all to spare, please hit up one of the links above. if you like my art, feel free to purchase! obviously i only get a percentage of what's bought, so if you'd rather all the money go straight to me the venmo or paypal links will be sufficient.

and if you can't spare anything, a replurk, sharing this with others, etc. would be absolutely wonderful. it's a rough time but I'm genuinely grateful to have both aerynaeacus and EternalLie in my life and I know we'll get through it.

thank you so much

!! I didn't realize you were having this much trouble! lskdjf I'm yeeting some funds at you right now omg.

Hey old friend, it’ll take a few days to see what my financial situation will look like, but I’ll toss you what I can after the 16th

I hope things get better for you

/boosts!!

I can send something along once I get home, for sure!

AAHHHHH bless you all!!!

Amabree: SLDIGHJLDSG i don't feel like it's my place to say cry!!

dubbins: duuuuubs! ;o; i'm so surprised to see you, hiiiii. tysm you're a dear

and ty shayna!!

Pup has a pricy vet appointment on the 16th, but once I know what I’m dealing with in regards to her health then I’ll see what I can offer.

It’s good to see you too hun! I wish it was under better circumstances though, I’m rooting for you guys!

same u_u hopefully job situation sorts itself out soon buh

I hope you're able to find something soon!

same!!! the job application process is so convoluted sob

I get paid tonight and have many bills but once I portion out some finances I'm gonna send you at least a lil bit

I've always been willing to hear you out about anything, especially with stuff like this. But next time if you feel like you're drowning and need help, poke me on discord or something.

Also sorry for delay in response, had to go do barn things real quick. sljf

you all are wonderful ;_; tysm

Aaand sent!

Might not show until tomorrow, though.

;u; ty ty

Luv you miss you hope that helps!

WEH... tysm!

omg i just finally checked my e-mail AKJFHDJKSGHSD Y'ALL ARE WAY TOO GENEROUS WHAT THE HECK

;_\_\_; thamk u....................

oops my escape characters didn't work how i thought they would

ty all for the replurks as well <333

me seeing that as a blushing and crying face

Oh jeeze...I knew there was rough stuff going on, but Azrael never mentioned the Airbnb thing :x

I'm in debt from some vet and dental stuff, but I'll consider what I can spare...

tbh that works too

and no fkgvfhg please!!! if you're already in debt keep it for yourself friend ;o;

It's not urgent debt! It's just 'I have to look at my credit card balance when considering my monthly budget'.

;_; only if you want them! ty all for your generosity, donations, kind words and replurks

I've also pointed the little brother unit toward this, since he's had much fewer expenses than I have and thus has more of a disposable income.

bump~

ty all again for likes/replurks/donations

Morning bump!

<3

bump, need to toss my dA too when I remember

Morning bump again o7

Tysm to the wonderful person who purchased from my shop ;u; ♥

here is the deviantArt i was mentioning before!Rui-rui User Profile | DeviantArt

/bumps!!

[UPDATE] we've got some better live mouse traps so hopefully we will catch this sucker but it hasn't even come out for peanut butter yet, shockingly. also, the co-host who had been off a week came by to our place and was basically pizza guy (gal)\

but she apologized, said she'd work with the owner about us getting monetary compensation, and she got us a new dryer/washer today

which seem to be functional! mostly? i say hesitantly bc i used the same dryer/washer in the other apt unit while we were waiting and the washer here seems like the noises it makes are more... sloshy at the beginning than they should be

but it worked for my slippers and it doesn't seem like it's leaking so, tentatively hoping all is well!

Good for some improvement, at least!

Surprised peanut butter isn't working, though...

I'm glad things are getting a bit better at least!

I'll be heading to the vet soon for the pup, so I'll be able to get a better idea of how much I can give to help soon

/crosses fingers for!!

/bump!

DOG IS HEALTHY-ISH (still got some things to pay but it's not cancer dollas) so once my next check clears on the 23rd I'll drop you guys something! Then hopefully a little more on my check after that

Glad it's not cancer dollas. No pet deserves to suffer through that.

Yeah, it's antibiotic/special food dollas, I just need my account to recover from the ultrasound a little (ate about half my last paycheck).

Antibiotics suck, but beat surgery or worse.

aaaa you all are wonderful and I do apologize for not being on top of this a bit more!

as far as job searching goes Ive found a very promising program that will help me land a job for a good salary that only requires payment once you're hired uvu already learned great stuff from it!

dubbins: glad the doggo's doing better!!

Yay! \o/

'We only get paid if we do our job well' models are great.

I paid what I could, got hit with an old ER bill so it's not as much as I would have liked to give you guys, but I did take an odd commission so I forwarded what I got from that to your venmo too.

Wish you guys the best, you're good beans.

Had to help someone else out of a life threatening situation, so unfortunately that destroyed my budget >.o

(She's fine now, but it involved last minute transportation, so Expensive.)

<3

dubbins: you're too sweet ;_; thank you so much

We're doing a short move tomorrow and then fingers crossed for us having a permanent place starting in July

or rather the 31st

I think you mean in June

ruipressed: Best of luck you guys! If it’s alright I can add you as friends again? I can try to help in the future if you goes need a little (also send we both have the TWST bug)

(If not I totally get it, plurk lists get cluttered easily)

time is fake

dubbins: ty again sm (tho as a fair warning, I'm not on plurk too often these days) excellent to hear you've gotten into twst tho :>

Hey it’s all good, still a good lifeline if you need help again!

(TWST is very good. Once again we have the same taste in canon)

ty all for continuing to replurk, you're sweet ;_; we're hanging in there

Paycheck comes in tomorrow, so I can send a little more by the end of this week! o7

thank you thank you u_u can't tell you all enough how much this means.

unfortunately, the apartment we applied for didn't go through, so we're figuring out next steps

Aaaand sent!

Autistic_Ace: ty!

Morning update on our situation with hopefully some awesome changes coming!!

This wouldn't be possible without all of you

/crosses fingers foooor!

Best of luck you guys!

yes ty all! sorry I didn't get back quicker ;v; ty aeacus for providing the update

Congrats! Good luck settling in!

So I've unfortunately got bad news.

Turns out we got scammed, and out of over a thousand dollars at that. We were really hoping this was somewhere we could stay, but that wasn't the case. So we'll be staying at a hotel for a bit longer while figuring things out.

We do have a loan in process so at least there's that!

People can be such assholes and it really is infuriating to encounter irl.

Oh jeeze...anything the bank can do?

We're looking into it, but unfortunately it isn't promising

Ugh. Sending best of luck anyway, just in case.

Sorry it's been awhile since I updated, things were difficult especially mh-wise but have some promising news.

To start aerynaeacus got accepted for food stamps so that's an extra ~$400 a month!

also, we are looking into moving into an apartment with two very chill people we ran into with Airbnb. which increases our options a lot and today I'll be reaching out to a few places

philly is pretty insane bc it asks for both deposit and last month's rent due at move in??? why. but at least we found an alternative to deposit so crossing fingers that one of the cheaper places work out!

/crosses fingers for!

annnd in less fortunate news my car needs about $600-$700 in repairs. TIMING

the mechanic told me the car is basically undriveable in this condition :'>

so! i think what i'm probably gonna do is bring the car back to my place (about a 5 min drive) and then see what i can manage to get for a loan. which won't be a lot, since my bad credit, buuuuut at least it'd be something

Ugh...I think this is what they mean when they say 'when it rains, it pours'...
