Hi Tumblr. I hate to do this, but I am running out of options.
I’m Morgues, and prior to this clusterfudge I’ve been a Tumblr dork, fandom geek, and an aspiring writer and filmmaker. And this is my long story short: my soon-to-be ex up and split town on me. He was the main source of income at the time. This is a good thing in that he was abusive, sleeping around, and had dove back into drugs and gambling., His splitting town happened after I called BS and got help from domestic violence services and also pointed out that he was not doing jack about the bills we had. The downside of this is that it’s left me with those bills. Plus an eviction notice. Yup, his lack of assistance with the bills went that deep. I’m guessing the money he was making went to cocaine and booze.
I have until Tuesday to try and come up with rent either for where I live (which is $2200 due to him not paying anything for the last THREE MONTHS) or $500 for a new place I can sublet. Otherwise I’ll be going to a women’s shelter IF they have room for me. I’m currently on a waitlist for that and I am not at the top of the list. I also don’t know what I’m going to do with my cat. I am almost more angry about that than anything – the possibility of losing my cat. He’s my stress pet and he’s old (14 years old now) and he does not deserve to go to an animal shelter because of this mess: I don’t want to lose my kitty.
I am currently unemployed and looking for full time work (I was working online as a transcriptionist but the Internet got shut down at I cannot connect via most of the wifi places in town so my income has been cut off), which is proving a little emotionally draining, but dammit I’m trying. On top of the impending divorce and dealing with the support group meetings for the abuse, I am also bipolar, suffering from PTSD (even more so now from what’s happened) and a handful of other delightful mental and physical health issues. I sucked it up and tried appealing to my family, but I’m still dead to them since I’m not straight. My mother straight up told me the little bit I talked to her on the phone that I deserved the abuse. Yeah, not going to get any help there. Another result of being queer this also means most local church assistance is also closed to me.
I am appealing to you, Tumblr, as my last ditch effort for help. Until I am LITERALLY homeless and on the street I’ve been denied assistance by local government agencies. I am currently in the middle of trying to liquidate what I own to make cash and that is hurting my heart as people are already trying to take advantage of the situation by lowballing me on the value of what I’m selling and this is how I’m trying to make ends meet and survive.
Anything helps at this point. I’m not using GoFundMe since they take a chunk. I’m also not a big believer in something for nothing, so if you want to donate something and leave me a note with it about your fandoms or something, it will take me some time, but I will write you a drabble or make a photo edit or icons or something. Again I have super spotty internet unless I’m at the local library, but I’ll eventually get it to you.
So that’s it, my appeal to you Tumblr. I figured it couldn’t hurt since Tumblr raised enough money to save DashCon and that sad ballpit, and I have seen miracles happen for others as well.. If you can’t help, a reblog and signal boost would be appreciated. Again, I am about to be homeless as of Tuesday, June 16th if I cannot get some kind of assistance.

^SIGNAL BOOST.
tl;dr, no really, read it. C’mon VC (and others!) fandom. If just some of our followers sent her $1 yes I know paypal has a fee but humor me for a second here it would make an enormous difference to her.
She’s not looking for a free ride, she’s essentially opened commissions for the money. If you can’t give, please reblog, maybe one of your followers can.
♛ “I’ll have a Screwdriver, Miss Andi-Lee.” Lestat asked the vampire behind the bar, when she finally noticed him. He had plucked her name from her mind, but had not perused further. Marius must have found something very unique about this one to have turned her, that much he had also discerned, but why did she seem to emanate the loneliness of being completely on her own in the world now? It was intriguing and Lestat was curious, his chin on his hand as he gazed up at her with more than a little childlike amusement at her startled expression.
‘Did he seriously call me Andi-Lee? How the hell does he know my name,’ Andi questioned herself internally. She slowly reached down and grasped a bottle of Absolut vodka and a highball glass. “What kind of vodka do you want in that?”
She cursed her luck, seeing his hair, wishing that her friend would have left hers that almost white-blonde color that this immortal was rocking. What was he doing in a place like this? It’s not like anyone was selling chemically enhanced baking soda in the back room. She’d killed the last supplier two weeks ago.
♛ Oh, she was precious! How easily flustered and colorful… a tropical bird. He could feel the whirlwind of thoughts in her mind, but gave her the space to choose which line of questioning to pursue. Her polite envy of his hair wasn’t lost on him, however, and he gave it a little playful toss.
So lost in these thoughts, he’d left her question unanswered too long!
“Belvedere would be fine, actually." Lestat wouldn’t drink this, but it had a hint of vanilla, which, when mixed with the citrus, was pleasant to smell before he might hand it away to a deserving patron.
"You’re wondering why I’m here. I followed you.” This was true; he had seen her about, was she a vampiric actress? The choice of clothes and hairstyle were not a costume but appeared to be her nostalgia for the time in when she’d been alive, a time he’d cursed himself for missing when he had been healing his wounds underground.

I wanted to personally thank antoineandthepiano for their excellent portrayal of Antoine.
When I started rping with you I hadn’t the slightest idea who Antoine was bc I hadn’t gotten that far in the book. just from your about page and getting the privilege to rp with you I fell in love with Antoine before I really knew him. And now after reading his chapter i love him éven more! Thank you for being so amazing ugh
OOC; Why thank you my dear! I only just saw this. I am beyond flattered right now. I hope he continues to captivate you. I would just like to say I am so happy to see you back on my dash too.
Awwwww thank you! Feels good to run one of the fave VC tumblrs of a talented fanartist ❤ Part of why I started it was to get better images out there for fanartists’ reference and inspiration. It’s evolved into smtg else but I think it still inspires? In it’s own bizarre way?
remarried makes gr9 fanart, etc. and I shoulda been following way earlier, People Off the Page, go follow!
(Hah, I read gr9 as grrneeen for some odd reason, and gr8 as grate. Or grinfinity. pfffft.)
i was only on tumblr for a bit when i saw this so i liked it to come back and do this at ya o///o
So… There are
more than 300 people following this blog, and that’s unexpected and frankly amazing!
I know I
don’t interact much, not because I don’t want to but half the time I don’t
have anthing relevant to say, or I’m too “tired” to write in English (I think my
lazy brain is born tired…!). I’m always scared to make mistakes, and
afraid to be misunderstood *even if it’s always a risk whatever type of
communication is it*, so it takes me quite a while when I write something… which
inevitably ends up weird and full of mistakes haha. It’s easier to post silly
stuff, I guess it’s for me the best way to communicate with people! Everytime
you like, or reblog, I’m really glad to know I made someone laugh. *Oh gosh,
that’s so cliché! But I swear it’s true.*
Anyway,
thank you so much! I hope you’ll continue to enjoy whatever will be posted
here.
