A Great Author Of The Skam Fandom Needs Help!

A great author of the skam fandom needs help!

help needed and commissions

i never thought it’d come to this but here i am. i’m going through some serious financial struggles right now and while i am figuring things out i thought i’d ask for help. 

unlock tragic backstory: as you may know, i’m living in rome, trying to achieve my dream to work as a translator and dialogue writer for dubbing. i am currently doing my first paid freelance translations, and it’s very rewarding (we are working on the good place too!) but payments are very delayed. making my way in this industry will require a lot of time, but as you may imagine, rome is expensive, and i’m still by all means a broke student. my father lost his job and my mother can’t support a family of five, including me and my rent, with 500€ a month. she wants the best for me and will sacrifice a lot, but i can’t ask her to do it for much longer, the guilt is too much. on top of this, i was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in august, a life-long disease of the brain and central nervous system, and i’ll have to go back to my hometown once every three months for checkups, spending at least 50€ on train tickets each time. i’m looking for a part time job that will allow me to keep up the freelance work and cover some expenses, but it could take a couple of weeks or a month at least.

i don’t ask for much because i know there are people out there in worse situations and in much more severe need than me. but this is my paypal. i also made a ko-fi page! i know i am not the most incredible or prolific writer, but i think i’ve made some people happy with my fics in this small, loving fandom, over the last year. so as a thanks to anyone who chooses to support me, i want to offer a drabble in return (500-1.5k w.). if you’re interested, send me a message here (on anon too) to let me know the prompt. marti/nico only, smut is fine, and no extreme angst or kinks please. i am also happy and willing to try commissions for longer fics between 1.5-5k w., but i don’t want to make promises i can’t keep, so it’ll need to be discussed privately! 

i got told this morning to “leave dreams to people who can afford them”, but i want to try to hold on and stay in rome at least until the end of my lease in february without putting my mom in too much trouble. going back to my hometown for good would be incredibly detrimental for my mental health, i can’t even think about it. so thank you for reading, even if you can’t donate, you can share if you want. anything helps. i can’t tell you how grateful i’ll be. <3

This actually helps an f***ing lot

Friendly reminder to check you’re not holding tension in your body. Let your shoulders drop, unclench your hands and jaw. Take a deep breath. Much better.

Today it just rained, rained, rained. 

And Isak technically had to do this group project and Even technically had to work on a video for one of his classes but the thing was… it was just too cozy.

They started the day off with a sleepy breakfast in front of the TV, cuddled up under their duvet. Isak opened the windows so they could hear the calming sounds of the raindrops hitting the leaves, the pavement and the occasional slosh when a car drove by. 

Both in silent agreement that this day was perfect for soft spoken words, lazy make out sessions and for just existing together.

The cold and fresh air quickly spread through their livingroom though, so they got dressed - Isak in his worn out grey hoodie and Even in a bulky maroon sweater, both of them wearing the self knitted socks Even’s grandma sent them.

After a few episodes of Ozark (Isak dozed off several times and Even had to fill in the gaps each time - which he did vividly and with a lot of gestures and scene by scene which always made Isak lean into him more and smile his two-dimple-one-sided smile) they ordered some pizza and sent a picture of their socked feet and a selfie to Even’s grandma. 

That’s all they did on this rainy sunday. It was lazy. It was cozy. It was perfect. 

i’m curious!! reblog this and write in the tags what skam is geographically closest to you and which one you like the best!

To people who are desperately asking for fundz/donations on tumblr.

USE THESE REDDIT SUBS INSTEAD PLEASE FOR GOODNESS SAKE!!!!!!!!!

Hate Reddit if you want, but using these subs are your best chance. People gather in these subs because they have charity to spare:

/r/Assistance /r/legaladvice /r/RandomKindness /r/Charity /r/care /r/Random_Acts_Of_Pizza /r/Food_Pantry https://www.reddit.com/r/RandomActsOfPetFood/ https://www.reddit.com/r/RandomActsOfChristmas/ https://www.reddit.com/r/almosthomeless/ https://www.reddit.com/r/homeless

/r/depression /r/familysupport /r/transitions 

I never see anyone actually getting any significant donations on tumblr and to be honest, tumblr is the worst place to ask for assistance. Use it as your last resort, it frustrates me to no end seeing people begging for help, reblogging the same post over and over, the same types of posts over and over, to no avail, when people are waiting to help you on a different part of the web  GO TO WHERE THE HELP IS. IF YOU WANT DIRECT ACTION TO WORK STOP WITH TUMBLR AND USE REDDIT.

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF SATAN REBLOG THIS SO WE CAN START REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF DONATION POSTS THAT GET STUCK FLOATING AROUND THIS WEBSITE

Magic ladies and gentlemen, magic

Bitch WHAT THE FUCK
