#it's about the rich eating us

[icewindandboringhorror]

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!)

Prompt 234

More of the Tiamat Au? More of the Tiamat Au! 

Sharing a body was strange. Ten limbs split between the nine of them- thirteen if one counted the tails and seventeen if one counted the fact that their cloak… skirt… whatever could mimic the wings of their other form. 

One which they would change back to after a few moments- there was much less stumbling when it was all fours. Not to mention that if not for the tails they’d have easily toppled over with how many arms they had making them slightly top heavy. Okay more than slightly, it was taking a bit to adjust. 

Honestly the fields of wheat and other crops did nothing to hide them with how tall even this body was, but it was still better than nothing, and they were using the fact it was the middle of nowhere to their shared advantage. 

At least the humanoid- not human, even now their shared power thrummed through the air, leaking from them- form was smaller than their true draconic one. Well, perhaps they shouldn’t call it their true form, when they were once all human, halfa and liminal alike, but they’d long since stopped being such. So perhaps it was in fact true to call the form they had become as their normal state now. 

Actually, could they even separate now? Or had their power melded together so much that it was impossible now, and an attempt would end them? It would at the very least crack their core- 

“What the fuck.” 

Their head lurched, a little too far if the jolt of pain was anything before it melted away. They were all too used to moving their own necks separately. But all of them agreed that discovery could not happen-

Oh.

It was a child. A preteen with red-orange hair, blue-green eyes, expensive clothing, and most damming of all, large swaths of bruising across his arms. Bruising that did not come from usual play, and looked far too much like hand prints for any of their comfort. 

Someone had very much not been taking care of this child. And that really made them quite angry.

honestly thinking about the idea of the radiostatic falling out happening slowly rather than one big blow up. I mean a big blow up would definitely be more dramatic but at the same time...

imagine like little disagreements over time that became more and more frequent, arguments where they'd just be pissed at each other for a while then come back a bit later because they still wanted to hold onto the friendship even though it was starting to fall apart, until the straw that broke the camel's back that is vox asking alastor to "join his team", alastor rejecting and him getting pissy that causes them to break it off for good

I constantly think about how these two probably had very different ideals and yet still managed to be friends, but what if those differences are ones that did in fact keep coming up in their friendship but ones they tried to ignore BECAUSE they wanted to maintain the friendship until they couldn't anymore

this is my entire stance on the "american food is bad" discourse summed up

Before we call anon rude because let’s see it from their perspective, imagine getting an entire feast to eat. That can be pretty hard to start with so much that’s going on, but if they start with one thing they know they’ll like (aka one character they like) that can be the start for them leaping to other characters to finish the story and the bigger story. I struggle the same way to start book series if I don’t have at least one character that drives me to read it, it’s all about what can be the hook to push them through. Sounds like the anon is neurodivergent (just a guess) so they might genuinely not see it as rude and see it as a solution to even play the game to start with.

Btw absolutely adore the game, the complex and rich characters making them all so unique is amazing. The art is so pleasing to the eyes I love it!! I’m waiting for it all to get out at once so I don’t get too impatient. Shae however interests me the most, which routes will have the most lore for them? Will there be routes that give more lore in general based on decisions you make or do they all share the same amount? (I mean general lore not just Shae lore)

Apologies; we are not trying to accuse any asker of being rude! We are simply explaining our perspective as the developers / are trying to broadly encourage folks to dip their toes into other areas of the story outside of the main route(s) they're interested in, especially considering some routes will be made available sooner than others, and these other routes will likely contain additional scenes/lore of everyone's fave(s) regardless! We want to give each main cast member an equal amount of love (and lore) regardless of their overall popularity, so our goal is not to tut-tut anyone for having strong preferences for one character over the others, but rather to explain that you may be surprised by how much *more* you learn about your preferred characters in the other routes. That's all!

For Shae... Well, they were a foot soldier for one of the worst periods of the War. Lore wise, any other story that touches on the War will likely have content relevant to them and their experiences. ^^

americans will make every issue in the world, whether its genocide or war or funding countries with revolting laws, about them. It always comes back to "oh god i hate my country so much for funding these awful things, they clearly hate americans because theyre doing all these awful things and running us into debt but they wont even pay us reasonable wages!" more so than it is actually about the awful thing

I don't think rich people should get to play with their toys if their toys are using up the carbon emissions of entire cities (and countries!) and wreaking havoc on the earth that we all share.

[thenixkat]

Aside from the whole eating people thing, ye olden werewolves were like disliked for the whole stealing shit thing.

Mostly stealing and/or eating other people's livestock.

[the-busy-ghost]

Look I KNOW newspaper clickbait exists solely to rile you up and get talked about but I just saw one headline that was like 'Have people been eating burgers wrong? Former royal butler talks food' and you know, I just feel like maybe, just maybe the last people on earth who should get a say on the proper etiquette of burger-eating are the British royal family and their entourage

Crazy it took nearly 500 pages for Richard to realise the others don't give a fuck about university (or like anything else really) because they are rich kids 🤦

[vintageseawitch]

fascist billionaires are complete morons. evil, morally bankrupt, & terrible as well of course, but most of all morons.

they want their American tax breaks SO BAD that they're willing to destroy America for it. between trump's absurd tariff "plan" which will cost American consumers more, the "deportation" of over 10 million people which will cost American money to do which will turn into "sending people to concentrator camps" instead so they get that precious free labor they dearly wanted without having to do that silly thing called "treat your workers like human beings" & many businesses & jobs will be lost so the cost of groceries that are awful now will be IMPOSSIBLE so people will starve & start going homeless because workers protections will disappear & they have no plans to make it so the cost of living is affordable on one income per government forced family so people will start not being able to pay for rent or their mortgage so that's MORE prisoners for free labor, abortion & contraception will be banned so women will suffer & die but don't worry they're just expendable incubators but after that state sanctioned forced baby is born TOO FUCKING BAD YOU'RE NOT GETTING ANY HELP, they intend to make climate change worse, & so on.

all of this & more is going to tank the economy of the USA. this is not just counting our position as a world superpower; make no mistake, a second trump presidency is promising a world of fear & uncertainty where no one will be free. the American dollar will become worthless so what good will American billionaire money be? millions are going to suffer & die. they don't care about that i know but they won't be getting sky high profits for very long.

eat the rich.
