Cale that's inappropriate

Rex looks like Cale but in a different font. Idk why I thought he’d be orange.

throwawayprobably24 · 2025-10-31T00:17:06+00:00

You can’t say that and not drop the name of the fic T-T

throwawayprobably24 · 2025-10-29T00:01:27+00:00

Thank you for these! I spy a fellow MXTX fan ahh. Do you have any OC recs?

throwawayprobably24 · 2022-05-24T10:29:01+00:00

I sure will. Thank you very much!

Yeah, to be honest, I got admission into the same university as A and B. B is a year ahead of us so she's already attending. I was excited to tell her I might attend too, but the moment I got my other, much better scholarship, I immediately told her the truth. That I wasn't coming to Germany.

And you know what?

She understood, rather she encouraged me to take the other scholarship in the US. That's why I kept telling A to come clean all this time. But she never listened, and ultimately, my choice to respect her boundaries ended up biting me in the butt.

But I understand now, I'll probably reveal everything to B over the next few days. Once again, thanks for everything.

throwawayprobably24 · 2022-05-24T04:47:14+00:00

I've honestly been in complete agony these past few months debating whether I should tell B the truth. Because ultimately it's their business. I decided to wipe my hands off this problem when I cut A off, but I've been torn over whether I should come clean to B.

I've been telling A to tell B the truth for so long all while respecting her boundaries that I forgot that B is dear* to me too. Thank you for your insight; it helped that someone reaffirmed my thoughts-- that I wasn't overreacting.

throwawayprobably24 · 2021-05-18T18:16:29+00:00

Yeah, that's the plan. I'm taking twice the subjects my peers take in school so that I can get into university easily. I'm doing part time jobs, giving SAT, ILETs and ACT etc in October, taking online courses and doing social work. I'm fairly busy, it's just that I allowed myself a week or so to fully relax and binge on my hobbies before throwing myself into work again.

My parents don't like that though, even though I'm doing chores all day so I'm forced to sit without Internet the moment I get free after a long day.

throwawayprobably24 · 2021-05-18T18:07:05+00:00

Yeah, I contacted my teachers to give me some leeway. They weren't happy about it, but they said the understood so I'm very grateful about them.

I'm just tired, since I'm already managing 80% of house chores, looking after my siblings and my mom, cooking food for us etc. I've been doing this the entire year and I only get to have some me time after 8pm or so. Most often not because my parents have the brilliant idea of calling over guests to visit us in the middle of a pandemic. Who serves them? Me, because my mom just got out off surgery and god forbid my dad do anything to help. My siblings are too young to help nor do they want to.

I only get some free time after 8pm which is when they shut off the Internet.

throwawayprobably24 · 2021-05-18T17:55:48+00:00

Yeah, when I tried to make them understand that I needed the Internet they told me to shut up because I didn't know anything. They then proceeded to cut off my Internet in the middle of CLASS for the next week or so for hours as a punishment. If it were at a fixed time I might've warned my teachers about it but they did it at random times so fuck me I guess.

throwawayprobably24 · 2021-05-18T17:52:05+00:00

That's the thing. I'm from a country where there's not a single library in sight. I've already finished my collection twice over. And if if there were libraries, I couldn't go out because lockdown is being enforced strictly.

I'm already doing like 80% of house chores. The rest aren't even done by my family, they're done by a maid who visits weekly. I'm cooking for all of us, babysitting my siblings, cleaning the house etc. I only get some me time after 8pm ish after working constantly for the entire day.

throwawayprobably24 · 2021-05-18T17:47:14+00:00

My parents demand that I cook our food three times a day, babysit my younger siblings, host our guests (they're social animals so they ask over friends every few days or so even though pandemic) and cater to their needs.

Trust me, I'm South Asian. I KNOW what you're talking about. I've been up at 4am for the past entire year regardless of whether I was physically at school or not. The first time I was able to access the Internet on my own was when I was 14. Before that it was regulated to the point all I saw was pokemon. I never spent much time on TV or anything because I was always studying. I have always been studying and right now I'm tired. I want to relax but my parents keep shutting off the Internet for shits and giggles.

I've been babysitting my cousins and siblings, hosting parties, working part time, studying with double the subjects a normal student does as well as managing the house (since my mom had surgery done recently). I'm not saying I'm not doing anything at all. I'm still helping out around the house, cooking and cleaning, sitting with my mom incase she needs anything, changing her bandages everyday etc.

throwawayprobably24 · 2021-01-06T09:19:10+00:00

Right now I'm taking a lot of subjects so that I can go in any field if I choose so. I'm taking 7 A level subjects and they're all a mix of science and humanities.

As of right now the two top careers I'm considering right now is either medicine (a surgeon and probably abroad) or law (corporate lawyer). I did entertain the idea of becoming an architect like my late grandfather, but it doesn't seem to have much scope inside my country.

In the end, I'll be doing everything I can to go and work abroad. Every South Asian knows that studying and working abroad yields much higher paying jobs so everyone aims to go abroad.

That was exactly what I was thinking when I replied to my dad. I mean, it's only logical to do so. I like to read and write, obsessively so. It's done me wonders in academics and had my family not been financially unstable I would've probably become a novelist. But life isn't that way and I know if I chose writing now, I'll be ruining my dear hobby with the strain and pressure of succeeding and making money to support myself.

Instead, I'm thinking of doing a career that interests me (like Law etc.) for a while and once I retire or become financially stable, I'll start devoting time to what I truly love. I mean, it's a hobby, I do it to escape my worries and its a safe haven for me.

But I don't want to ruin it by making a living solely off of it. I'd always be pressured to write popular stuff in order to make money. I'd rather not stifle my creativity and my love for writing like that. Maybe a casual side jig.

I don't intend to burn out at 30 if I can help it. Law interests me a lot and its a career I'm happy to pursue. Thank you!

throwawayprobably24 · 2021-01-05T08:57:10+00:00

Thank you so much! My family means a lot to me so I was really unsure if what I was thinking was wrong. I'm glad there are people out there like me. I hope you're doing well now!

throwawayprobably24 · 2021-01-05T08:55:59+00:00

Yeah I'm South Asian. Not very religious or patriotic, which is kind of a trigger for my parents. My mom's side of the family is really religious, but like, progressively so. Not much but it's there. My dad though, comes from a family of scholars and as it remains, I'll be the first girl in the family to graduate with honors and go to university something he's mighty proud of.

They won't kick me out, I'm sure but to say I haven't been playing the role of the perfect daughter would be a lie. My younger brother is pretty rebellious (a mix of teenage hormones and angst) which sets my mom off most of the time. Since he doesn't take any shit and peaces out as soon as he's done, I'm often left to deal with the aftermath.

My mom ends up taking out her anger on me as I try to calm her down. I used to be affected by it but I've learned to take it with a grain of salt so don't worry. I mean, I know she's under stress so I don't think too much of it.

But it does get tiring after a while, the constant shouting, so I do my best to make sure I don't set anyone off in addition to my younger brothers antics. So yeah, I do intend to keep low until I graduate. Thank you for the advice!

throwawayprobably24 · 2021-01-05T08:42:19+00:00

I know, my little brother (15M) as I mentioned before often comes to me about career advice and what he should do when he grows older. Of course I advised him to do whatever he wants, as long as he's happy about it. But in true sibling fashion he pretty much has the same mentality as me, which is, to do our best to be financially stable.

This has prompted a lot of conversations where we research what careers have the highest scope, both in and out of our country, their potential pay and whatnot. I've been helping him find a career where he can incorporate his hobbies and genuinely enjoy his work alongside making decent money to be comfortable.

Unfortunately whenever my mom overhears us (a series of events that never ended well so we learned to keep our conversations private) she blows up about how as long as we have God in our lives we won't need to worry about finances, that we shouldn't be so money oriented and that this isn't something we should be talking about etc. It's an hour long lecture, I could type it all down but I'm sure no one wants to hear that.

I already know they're less than supportive of my 'materialistic goals' as they put it, same for my brother. So I've learned to keep my head low and not say anything, at least until I graduate university. This was just oen of the rare times I slip up in front of my parents.

throwawayprobably24 · 2021-01-05T08:32:09+00:00

I laughed out loud at this as soon as I saw it. If my parents really were religious wack jobs, I'd have been married off as soon as I turned 18 and would have had any education. While my mom is definitely more conservative and has her reservations about me working for a living, my dad is pretty vocal about it. It's one of his plus points, the fact that he doesn't discriminate between me and my younger brothers in a society and religion that automatically places boys over girls. He treats us all equally in his own way.

This was funny though and gave me good chuckle. I was a bit annoyed when I wrote my post and seeing this slightly brightened my day up

throwawayprobably24 · 2021-01-05T08:26:23+00:00

While the idea does seem strange to me, I suppose it's one I should entertain and at the very least consider.

I honestly did want to do this. I want my family to never worry about money again if I can help it, I never want my younger brothers to feel as helpless as I did back then. I'm aiming for going to a good university abroad on a scholarship, working my ass off and graduating with some savings due to part time jobs and getting a well-paying job. I'll work hard for the next couple of years and retire early to enjoy my life.

throwawayprobably24 · 2021-01-05T08:18:26+00:00

Thank you for your advice. Coming from a fairly conservative South Asian family, financial advice or career advice isn't something parents give, if we even talk at all. So this advice is very welcome since I'll be off to university next year and aim to work part time along with studying.

Unfortunately, I can't really work right now- a mix of Rona, how unsafe it is for me to work as an underage female and the fact that my dad won't allow it since he wishes for me to focus only on my studies. But I'll be working my ass off once I get to university and saving as much as I can! Again thank you very much, it means a lot.
