If I could give anyone a bit of advice about mimicking the style of your favorite show, it's that I highly recommend looking at & studying the background characters before you decide to pull traits from main characters

the powerpuff girls look different from the other children from pokey oaks kindergarten, dib and zim look different from other skool children or irken invaders, simpsons background characters are not allowed to have stuff like lisa and bart's hair or homer's 5-oclock shadow in normal circumstances

background characters are meant to be 1) numerous and 2) blend into the scenery, so they're a great way to see what the ppl making the show consider the average and consistent traits they want to repeat in order to fill a crowd or make new side characters

and then once you understand that, THEN you can go nuts and break those conventions, make your cool as hell ocs, and appreciate why the main characters stand out the way they do

my new thing whenever an embarrassing memory jumps up out of some backwater neuron to t-bone my present-day thought process is to declare a statute of limitations. like i can burn down an entire building in the state where i live and the law deems it both unfair and illegal to prosecute me after six years have passed, i think that thing i said in high school can be expunged from my record.

Okay, but this is actually kind of genius.

“your rent should be a third of your income” well wouldn’t that be nice. wouldn’t it. lower the rent pussy

[moniquill]

Casual observation from someone old enough to remember: in the year 2000 financial advice was that rent should be no more than 1/4 of your income.

[vergess]

Until the mid 80s, the advice was that if you must rent instead of owning, then that 20% of your monthly income (oh yes, only 20%) should include all your utilities too.

After all, rent costs more than a mortgage, so it should offer more too.

The housing market is a fucking travesty.

i saved my train ticket to my phone but it didn't work when i tried to scan it so i took it to the staff on duty and they were like. are you sure that's the right image. and i looked down and my screen was open on this

[hatingongodot]

Before I get into what just happened to me, can I just say how insane it is that even in 2023 there are vending machines that just drop a bottle of soda 5 feet onto the floor before you can drink it? A ludicrous design flaw

[hatingongodot]

No you may not
