Hey, You Are Not An Embarrassment For Not Knowing How To Do Certain Household Chores/basic Self-care.

Never know who might need it

What to do if you suddenly find yourself homeless

FOOD

Find your nearest food bank or mission, for food

grocery stores with free samples, bakeries + stores with day-old bread

different fast food outlets have cheaper food and will generally let you hang out for a while.

some dollar stores carry food like cans of beans or fruit

SHELTER

Sleeping at beaches during the day is a good way to avoid suspicion and harassment

sleep with your bag strapped to you, so someone can’t steal it

Some churches offer short term residence

Find your nearest homeless shelter

Look for places that are open to the public

A large dumpster near a wall can often be moved so that flipping up the lids creates an angled shelter to stay dry

HYGIENE

A membership to the YMCA is usually only 10$, which has a shower, and sometimes laundry machines and lockers.

Public libraries have bathrooms you can use

Dollar stores carry low-end soaps and deodorant etc.

Wet wipes are all purpose and a life saver

Local beaches, go for a quick swim

Some truck stops have showers you can pay for

Staying clean is the best way to prevent disease, and potentially get a job to get back on your feet

Pack 7 pairs of socks/undies, 2 outfits, and one hooded rain jacket

OTHER

What a year this week has been.

Okay, like... Hot take/random thought.

So like, hi. I want to become active in this community here, so I'm just gonna start posting stuff like this.

Moving on, I've been reading a lot of fanfics and comics lately, and one thing I've noticed a lot of is Remus being envious of his brother. While yes, I agree he would be jealous of the attention Roman gets, its not for the soft reason others like to portray him as.

Remus isn't upset that Roman is seen as the "good" creativity, or that he gets major creative sway over what is done, it's that he gets more attention then him.

Remus is intrusive thoughts, so his goal is to be as nit picky with C!Thomas as he can be. He wants to have every chance to insert himself into his life, and be the spotlight! With Roman being there, it's harder to get into C!Thomas' mind with a creative view here already.

Now, moving on from that, another thing I see is people portraying Remus as deviated when Janus said his very major line to Roman:

"Thank God you don't have a mustache Roman, otherwise, between you and Remus, I wouldn't know who the evil twin is."

Now, while this would seem like it would hurt Remus, coming from possibly his best friend, it's not. He would love this comment.

Now, I get if you want to portray Remus like this in your comics, fan fics, whatever, that's great! Still will love your work, support you, and all that. I just wanna point out why he wouldn't respond that way.

Now, why would Remus like this? Because he'd see it as a compliment. Think of it, he's intrusive thoughts. He wants to bug C!Thomas any way he can, and this is an amazing way to do it. Why? It's straight up saying C!Thomas is a bad person.

That statement directly tells Thomas he's not a truly good person all over again. Yes, he got that from DWIT, but now he has been bluntly told a part of him is evil, and that only serves to make Remus stronger.

Remus gets his power from bothering Thomas, and this is his biggest step up. After a moment where he was told the truth from a side named deceit, he knows that this sentence is true. Thomas is then left with this line and must come to terms with what he is. And that's hard when your morality is already thrown into wack.

That line is one of the major stepping points in the series that I think will play a major roll in this upcoming finally. Remember, Remus said he had a big surprise coming for him.

That's all from me. And remember, this is just my opinion. You're free to think anyway you want, do what you want, I am not saying everyone has to do things this way. I'm more so saying this as a way to show people how I think. My apologies if someone has posted this, not my intention to copy them, I just haven't seen something like this and wanted to voice how I see our local rat man.

chekov’s cat: if you see a cat, it will probably be relevant later.

schroedinger’s gun: there’s no way to know if a gun is loaded or not until you physically inspect and check it yourself, so it’s safest to assume all guns are loaded.

Reblog if it's OK for other artists to draw your OCs

Sometimes I get too timid to send asks to ask. I want to see how many people are ok with artists drawing their OCs!

if you can’t eat a whole meal, eat half. you ate, that’s what is important.

if you can’t get out of bed, try and sit up instead of lying down. it’ll be better for your back and your blood pressure.

if you can’t shower or have a bath today, try and brush your teeth and clean your ears. it’ll keep you a little cleaner, and we often forget those areas. 

if you can’t get dressed today, change underwear and use some deoderant. it’ll leave you a little fresher until you have the strength to change fully.

and remember, i’m very proud of you. your best will look different every day, and that’s okay.
