Listen. I want to tell you guys about the Dollar Tree. If you ever need to rebuild your life fast, you want a dollar tree. Everything in a dollar tree costs one dollar. No exceptions. Nothing has a price tag. Everything is one dollar.
This is Dollar Tree not Dollar General.
Dollar Tree looks like this:
Their stuff is off-brand but decent quality.
Here are some things you can buy at the dollar tree for one dollar:
– any kind of makeup- foundation, eyeshadow, lipstick, lip gloss, mascara, etc
Basically? If you ever get kicked out of your house or find yourself with a couple bucks and nothing else, get thee to a dollar tree.
All the dollar tree stores I have been in have some sort of medical aisle too. Its actually where I went first when my tooth broke for some off brand orajel (Works much faster and better than orajel imo, longer too if you put it on a cotton ball and keep it in the area) And sometimes even emergency temp tooth repair kits, which are at least $7 elsewhere. Dollar tree is a miracle.
Guy about to owe his whole party a drink: “Alright, you think that guy’s a mage or a model?” His Friend: “I dunno, man, like… he looks pretty gaudy, I’m gonna say… model?” Guy: “Hey, you, excuse me?” Taako: “What’s up my dude?”
aries: patient. i can’t think of a better word to describe what i’m about to say. as an aries, without realizing, you are not ready to open up so fast. it could take months for your lover(s) to get anything out of you emotionally. it takes you a long time to feel comfortable confiding in anyone, because you’re cautious, which is fine. patience is key when it comes to you.
taurus: loyal. you need someone who will stick by you and choose you regardless of any circumstance. who will be your true friend when things get tough and sticky. someone who wants to be there, who wants to love you and stick by you and never wavers.
gemini: commitment. you need someone who looks at you and knows they want to be with you for a long time. who wants to grow, cherish, love every single moment with you. you don’t want someone who’s only around sometimes, you want someone who wants to be around all the time, for years to come.
cancer: reassuring. you get scared. you get scared that people are going to walk away and not choose you and leave you hanging. you need someone who, without a doubt, will always give you those words of reassurance when those thoughts pop into your head.
leo: ambitious. you need this because you tend to be such a fierce, dedicated lover. it becomes your whole world. it consumes you. you need someone that has goals and has their life ahead of them so that you can mirror this, and not become so engulfed in just being theirs. so that you can grow with them, and not just latch onto their life.
virgo: understanding. you need someone who understands when your thoughts just won’t come out right. someone who doesn’t need the words and confusion. someone who just understands your sadness without saying one single thing.
libra: fun. you need someone that takes you away from your unnecessary stress everyday, and just makes you laugh. they need to put color into your world and make you excited and come alive again. you need them to not take life so seriously, because you’re just already so used to that.
scorpio: sensitive. you need someone to come in and understand where all those inner, strong, scary emotions come from. they need to help channel them and they need to be able to hold you and not let go when things just get way too hard to handle on your own. they need to be sensitive to the fact that you’ve been through some hard things, they need to be the shoulder to cry on.
sagittarius: devoted. you need someone that loves just as hard as you do. they will devote themselves to you just like you’ve always wanted. they need to be able to combine their life into yours and move gently forward with you.
capricorn: adventurous. someone who will take you away once in a while so that you can feel free. you need the relationship to have that outgoing energy, to pump you up when you’re feeling down, and, most importantly, take you places you’ve never been before. emotionally. mentally. spiritually. in every way,
aquarius: soft. you need someone who is soft for you. who would kill to see you happy, just as you would do for them. someone who isn’t afraid to show that they are so in love and captivated by you.
pisces: intellectual. you need someone to set a spark within you mentally. someone who is easy to talk to, and who you feel comfortable talking about anything with. someone who not only can talk about your daily life with, but with the deep, scary, not so easy stuff. that’s where your real connection will come in.
If you’ve seen Kingsglaive, you caught it floating around the edges of the plot. A look at how the Chocobros deal with it when they see it.
Noctis actually doesn’t realize it until they’re on the road trip. While he was allowed to go to the arcade with Prompto, most of his time in the Crown City was very monitored–and otherwise? Everybody knew he was the prince. His reaction is an angry, shocked what the Hell?! and glaring down the xenophobic person until they leave. He’s pretty morose after each incident, but asks Ignis about laws to stop it once he retakes Insomnia. Isn’t happy to learn there’s not a fast fix.
Prompto is aware of it, and doesn’t like it. He knows he’s adopted so part of him wonders if they’d say that to him, if they knew. The casual remarks not directed at individuals, he ignores, if a situation looks like it might get more serious, he has his phone ready to film anything that might go down. Sometimes tries to pretend he knows the victim of the attacks and chatters them away to safety. Once in the Crownsguard, asks for verbal deflection tips for future incidents.
Gladio is honestly confused by it. Some families like his had been in Insomnia for forever, but why the Hell do these folks think they have anything to stand on–three generations ago, they were from other places, too. Hypocrites. He goes with the guilt angle to deal with it: “Man, can you imagine having to flee your war-torn home? That must be so terrible. Why don’t you think we want them here?” Most aggressors are cowards and shrink away from his bulk. The ones that don’t tend to regret it.
Ignis is personally offended by xenophobic sentiments–after all, he’s from Tenebrae*, originally. He’s actually on good terms with quite a few Glaives due to his ruthless defense of them; quick to point out to an aggressor that they’re provoking a highly trained member of His Majesty’s personal army. Fear, he thinks, is no excuse to ever be cruel…nor is stupidity. Also prone to “what’s so bad about them being from X?” and making the jerk reveal their cruelty through logic.
*His accent is meant to suggest he’s from somewhere else, and I wonder where else in Eos they have British accents….
