You never think it happens to you until it does. You never think that you’d be the one that people reblog tips for.
I wash just closely followed and taped by a man at a convention today. The only reason I’m here to talk about it is because of said reblogged tips. They might have just saved me.
When I saw that man behind me, I did a run-through of everything I knew to keep me safe. Everything I saw on this website that would help me. First, I made sure I was being followed. I picked up my pace, went around tables sporadically, mixed up my directions. I never stopped moving. When I saw he was still the same distance behind me, I knew.
Second, I looked for my friends. I had come with three other people and had split up to look at merch. But when I couldn’t find them, I did what I never thought I’d have to do. I thank all of the people I followed for reblogging it so many times.
I picked a random cosplayer my age (a Midoriya cosplayer of 15-16 years) and pretended that I just met a long lost friend. I leaned in close to give them a hug and then whispered that I was being followed. They understood IMMEDIATELY and let me follow them to a different booth. It wasn’t until I grouped with them that the man stopped following me. I later went to security and the man was already someone who they were having trouble with earlier.
Moral of the story: Please reblog tips for safety on your dash. I don’t care if it doesn’t fit. If I didn’t think of pretending I knew someone, something worse could’ve happened to me. If you’re being followed, don’t be afraid to pretend you know someone. Be careful out there. You never think it’s going to be you until it happens.
I'm just waiting to hear in the news about how someone started selling drugs to buy coins in Pokemon GO.
Wow just wow.

People who live on Caribbean islands and in Florida please prepare for a possible hurricane that can cause MAJOR destruction!! Hurricane Irma has been growing at fast rates and it doesn’t hurt to be safe than sorry. Stock up on food, water, portable chargers, and other helpful resources that can get you through this.
Here is a 2017 hurricane disaster guide that contains vital information on how to survive a hurricane. It’s too early to tell how far it’ll go beyond Florida but meteorologists are predicting it can hit the Carolinas. The storm isn’t expected to hit the U.S until Friday, so that gives Florida residents a lot of time to stock up and get prepared.
Okay so I wanted to avoid the post to get too long for the gofundme campaign to help me get out of the debts I gathered. More information on it you can find here I am at 38% of my goal, I am enough rent behind that my landlord can kick me out at any given time and I have debtors at my door on June 15th my landlord can legally kick my ass out.
Short version? My mom took all my money and used it for herself instead of my medical bills, I moved out with nothing and got cancer right of the bat, while I was also transitioning. Been trying to do this on my own for 2 years, I tried getting government support and was told I didn’t have enough debt to be helped properly and didn’t earn enough for the other option.
I understand that just giving me money to help me out isn’t something a lot of people would do and honestly it’s not something I enjoy asking, I am a giver more than I am a receiver it always makes me uncomfortable to receive without repaying people some way, but in this case I have no choice.
On top of donations though I figured it might be a good idea to offer something in return. So I was thinking what do I do best, well that would be writing fan fics for spideypool, devilpool, taskpool etc…
So here’s something I can offer you guys, for 5 EUR I will write you a request for a fan fiction, it can be other pairings too, just send it to me first, because if I don’t know the characters at all of course I am going to tell you sincerely that I don’t feel comfortable trying this, because I take pride in staying true to the characters which I can’t do if I don’t know them well enough yet. (commission examples) I am also selling shirts on redbubble, and you’re welcome to make a request of a silly shirt you want to see for some marvel characters and I’ll see what I can whip up.
On top of this if you want to help me out and you don’t want to commission a small fic or something you can check out @lordjenjen‘s etsy because this amazing lady, who is a super nice friend is doing a sale with free USA shipping or $5 discount on $10 or higher purchases with the following codes: Free Domestic Shipping (Use coupon code: CALTHEBEST ) or $5 off (Use Code: LUVCAL ) and the money from that will be deposited in my fund.
As well as the wonderful @amaronith will be making hats and cowls for people who donate all details can be found here, but a donation of 15€ will get you a nice winter hat and 20€ will get you a hat and cowl. Amaronith is in the middle of a move so won’t be able to make more hats and cowls.
The wonderful @dracoaries (aka @ask-elliecamacho) is doing commissions for whoever donates, no matter the amount you can find more information about the art style and such here
My sweet friend @furdonkadonk (aka @menacespawn) is doing chibi commisions for everyone who donates, more info here
An other great friend of mine @that-one-mod (aka the nerd behind @ask-theheroesforhire, @askchibisinistersix, & @ask-the-redteam) opened commissions as well to help me out. Lineart for $5, a fully coloured character with no shading for $7 and shell shaded for $10. A character with fading shading for $12 and extra characters for an extra $2 each. Simple background will be an extra $1 (single colour with gradient or little designs) and more detailed backgrounds such as a forest or city for an extra $5. (examples)
And my other amazing buddy @anciellee (aka the gooober behind @ask-frankcastle) is doing commissions for the same prices (Lineart for $5, a fully coloured character with no shading for $7 and shell shaded for $10. A character with fading shading for $12 and extra characters for an extra $2 each. Simple background will be an extra $1 (single colour with gradient or little designs) and more detailed backgrounds such as a forest or city for an extra $5) (examples)
The sweet @randodeadpool aka @deadpooldraws will make arts for donators who want as well. So for silly drawings like Deadpool’s Francis drawing in the movie are a go.
If that wasn’t enough my good friend Zet aka @deadpool-art will do free commission requests whenever I hit the 100€ caps which even includes OCS -drawing that it’d cost $55dls +BG- but now THEY ARE FREE!!!! (examples)
I will always keep this post update about the stance of the fundraiser
EDIT 6th of June:
I fucking can’t even…I got a surgery I legally needed for my transition as well as needed for my cancer situation and was promised they’d put it on cancer so I could get it paid by social security (because trans treatment is luxury in Belgium). But the doctor apparently put it on Transgender anyway, so now I got a total in medical bills in my mail box of 1073.44€.
On top of my behind rent and all that stuff, and I have to go back to the hospital this week for more test and again in two weeks for more, it’s just a never ending pit of bills and I had to up my goal to 3.5k and hope to god I can make it.
Edit 12th of June:
Since I paid one month of rent my landlord is giving me a bit of delay to pay of the rest, I got in two big hospital bills, one of them being the one from the previous edit, I did manage to pay all the older bills now, thanks to all the commissions and lovely people who donated without using the services offered by me and my friends.
But I am still only a third of the way that I need to be, but I am farther than I expected to get. If it weren’t for all of you guys helping out so far, I’d be packing up my clothes now, so thank you.
EDIT 21st of June:
I am a year on T this week, I imagined myself celebrating this kinda birthday like event with peace of mind, maybe a small piece of cake or a creamy chocolate chip frapuchino. Instead I spend all day in the hospital only to return to an other bill in the mailbox from the hospital. At least today’s bill will only come in like 2-3 months… I am not famous, I don’t wanna paint or decorate my home with rainbows, I just don’t wanna lose my roof. Me and my friends are offering you cool things, It’s all I can do, but I need your help, Literally even 2€will already at least give me money to buy a bread… I put my heart and soul into living and doing good for others, but the stress is making me sicker than I already was… I barely have the energy to get out of bed, to interact with people. To make the call of am I gonna risk lifting a jar of chocolate paste so I can put something on this bread I am buying. Please… use these commissions, tell me what kind of redbubble items you wanna see, or just reblog this if you can’t donate…
I have already been told I am pathetic for asking this of people, but if I need to crawl and beg to not end up on the street or worse at my mother’s mercy again, I will fucking crawl and beg.
I recently joined a campaign as a Dwarf fighter, the existing characters are a tiefling warlock, a human ranger, and a drow monk. My characters introduction was basically an all out brawl with the tiefling, which led to me getting my ass kicked and us all being taken to jail, then later released. The tiefling and I now have some mutual respect and she offered to buy me a drink.The following conversation happens
Monk, to ranger: we need to talk, privately Ranger: *in elvish* what? Monk:*in elvish* we gotta kill like everyone in the city Ranger: *in common* NO WHAT THE HELL Tiefling and I: ….??? *more bickering in elvish* Ranger: *in infernal, to the monk* FUCK YOU Tiefling: *in infernal*excuse me?! Did you forget I speak infernal?? What is going on?? *more bickering, which my character can’t understand* Me: *in dwarvish* I WOULD LIKE TO GO DRINK ALCOHOL everyone: *stops bickering* …..what? Me: yeah I know a language too! Now shut up and let’s go!
Look just be nice to each other or I swear I will turn this Tumblr around right now and go home! Understand?!?
