On average, what is the total MONTHLY amount that you spend on dining out*?

*(This doesn't only count going out to restaurants, but also stuff like picking up fast food to bring home, getting a coffee on the way to work, getting a premade sandwich from a grocery store deli during lunch, buying a quick snack from a convenience store or food cart whilst walking somewhere, ordering a pizza or any other food to be delivered to your home, etc.)

*(If you often dine out in groups/as a household: calculate and divide the costs so that you get a Per Person average. This is for YOU individually, NOT the total household/group costs)

(I'm sure polls similar to this have been made before (very common topic), I just haven't personally seen one that I can remember, so, I was curious to do my own! I was discussing this with a group of people today and it was very interesting to see how widely the number varied between individuals. :0c )

(Reblog for bigger sample size if you can, and feel free to explain your answer in tags if there's anything extra to add!)

what's the threshold theory

There was a post about how Tom is the only crew member who isn't really affected by the Borg, and there's a theory that he has so much luck because he saw the past and the future when he crossed the transwarp threshold. He saw the past and the future, all of time and space. There's some subconscious part of him that remembers that experience. In fact, Tom refused to play a part in Chakotay indulging Annorax's temporal incursions, probably because a part of him knew nothing good could come of it.

If we extend that same theory to Janeway, some of her wild luck with time travel and other crack plans starts to make sense. She doesn't verbally hate time travel until after the events of Threshold, since it happens in Time and Again without complaint. Janeway has an uncanny knack for time travel, as evidenced every time she deals with it. She hates time travel, but it might be because part of her knows exactly how to manipulate the timeline. She manages to avoid the "inevitable" temporal explosion in Future's End, saving both Voyager and Braxton. She resets the entire timeline in Year of Hell, and no one else followed her reasoning. She pulled it off flawlessly. In Relativity, she senses the incidents are all related, despite it being just one reading that connects them. By the time she's involved, she has a temporal incursion factor of .0036 and a time travel protocol named after her, even if that may just be Braxton's personal grudge. Then there's Endgame, where she intentionally changes the timeline. Up until this point, she has been dragged into time travel, but for the first time, she jumps in on purpose. How does Admiral Janeway know how to get them home sooner in a way that completely avoids the Temporal Integrity Commission? It's because she has seen all of time, and part of her knows exactly what needs to happen so she can get Voyager home and do it in a way that becomes baked into the prime timeline. Maybe she doesn't consciously remember what happened during her transformation, but the experience lives in her mind somewhere, guiding her decisions.

New Threadfic Announcement + Sugar Baby AU Threadfic Update Status

(TNotG’s prologue can be read here)

The one addition I forgot to mention, I probably may or may not drag the Truce universe’s Supe!Butcher & Homelander into the threadfic’s multiverse shenanigans, because why not? It adds a bit of extra danger & incentivizes TNotG Billy to want all of his parallel universe selves to gtfo back to their worlds.

If you want more context details about the threadfics, you can read about them here that I organized for easy reference.

Tl;dr let’s cross our fingers that Twt doesn’t shadowban me because this’ll be a lotta tweets that’ll be tweeted within a span of a few days (I’ll of course screenshot them and crosspost those tweets over here on tumblr for y’all). I’m hoping they do not mistake my account as a spambot when these updates come out 😬

And regarding the next update for Operation Babylon (the Sugar Baby AU) which’ll be posted first:

“I have this scene in my head for my fic that I really love but i don’t feel like writing all of the other stuff to get to it.”

I see this comment like 5 times a day in fic writing spaces lol

a scene that you don’t want to write is a scene you don’t want to read. don’t write stuff you don’t want to read.

me, personally: wait until the scenes that get you to that first initial scene you were excited about are just as interesting as that scene too. it won’t be the first, second, or third thing you think of. if u have a scene you really want to write, write that, and keep writing only those exciting scenes that come to you. eventually you have a million interesting scenes for your fic and they become puzzle pieces for you to arrange and then eventually the strings come together and you realize you really do have an interesting way to get to that original scene, and you’re just as excited to write it, if you haven’t already written it when you were brainstorming other scenes earlier in the writing process that you didn’t even realize could carry your story like that.

Working on a chrismas card for my family and I find myself questioning my entire relationship with them, because I'm going the extra mile to make it extra beautiful because gifting them a work of art of mine that isn't beautiful is considered unloving by them. I remeber my mom yelling at me when I was six or seven because she said I'd drawn her to look like a pig. She asked me if that was really how I saw her. They've always been supportive of my art and told me it was beautiful, but I can't help but feel anxious working on this, wondering if they'll hate it, because I keep adding "traditional" Chrismas symbols, like reindeer and holly and stuff, struggling hard to find symbols universal enough because our country doesn't have any particularly unique Chrismas symbolism and I don't want to add snowflakes or wintery stuff (I feel like i'm already stretching it with the reindeer) because it's summer here, and I'm scared the holly and stuff will read as "foreign USamerican symbolism", and they hate anything USamerican. They also hate religion so angels and stuff are out the window, and there are only so many stars I can add.

So I'm here agonizing over whether or not they'll be offended if I give them this, and I just... why am I worrying about this? They were horrible to me! I spent my entire childhood feeling anxious and depressed and hating myself because nothing was ever good enough for them, because they always got angry, threatened me, destroyed my stuff, invaded my privacy, violated every boundary, publicly humilliated me, destroyed my self-esteem... and I still wasted all of my scholarship money on something I HOPE they will like, even if I also fear they'll be offended when they get it (it's a board game they've wanted for ages, but I already gave my dad a board game for fathers' day and I'm scared they'll notice the repetition and call me lazy and accuse me of not loving them, because if I loved them, I would have been more imaginative with my gifts). And now I'm agonizing over whether or not they'll be angry to see reindeer on the chrismas card I'll be sending them.

I'm just... really glad I'll be spending chrismas with a college friend and his family. Honestly, that family has been my lifeline for two years, I have no idea how to thank them, I just had no idea it was possible to feel anything but anxiety and guilt and shame during family celebrations before meeting them. I'm glad my family is thousands of miles away. I'm glad my girlfriend is here with me. I have a lot of things to be thankful for, but for some reason I can't let go of my family and stop worrying about them being mad at me. I'd rather die than making them mad at me.

one of the other reasons i wanted to quit my job is bc everyone was so boring like they were all straight and didn’t even fuck like hadn’t had sex in years and didn’t want to like girllll ur 25 u shld be having all the sex and also they didn’t go to parties or anything it was all the job for them but they were also so self absorbed and thought they were better than everyone for being boring and listening only to old ass music (they r the kind of ppl who say music today sucks but never even try to listen to something other than metallica) and so even though they had a lot of friends in the industry they were all the same straight and celibate like booo i wanna be w the gay ppl who fuck and actually enjoy all music…..
