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!)

🏚️ haunted house commissions are back! 🏚️

is your house (or apartment, or rv, or a house you really like from down the street, or a house from a story) haunted? do you wish it was? for a small fee, i'll put ghosts in it for you!

i'm trying out a google form for commissions this time around rather than a first-come-first-serve model. this form will be open for a limited time. probably till around the end of may. i'll have a handful of commission slots to begin with, and i'll pull from the form response pool once more slots start opening up.

want a haunted house? fill out the form here! (reblogs are super appreciated to spread the word! 🫀)

you have been bamboozled i am so sorry. there is no genshin code.

INSTEAD!!

there is a chance to revive the interaction culture of genshinblr 2021/2022!

remember when asks were soooo common, love letters even more common – ebg games filled dashes, tagging EVERYONE in ask games, reblogs with TAGS and COMMENTS and silly thoughts just all around??? (mostly probably because we were chronically online!)

good times!

now when we look at interaction, we see... 11 reblogs. 400 likes. 24 reblogs. 600 likes. and das not good yall! it's only making genshinblrs more demotivated to create and interact ANYTHING. we need to bring these interactions back!!!

start by:

sending a shit ton of asks

reblogging with TAGS and COMMENTS!!!!!!!

revive tag games!

start events and games! interact with people!

just send silly stuff to your mutuals and people in your notifications!!!!

ACTUALLY ask people stuff during ask games!

send checkups / reminders to your friends!

send love letters to your mutuals! no inhibitions here!

we can still create and revive that sweet, sweet culture of 2021 genshinblr <3 and i promise, it'll benefit everyone!!! maybe your interaction will go up, maybe you'll have new friends – it doesn't hurt to try <3

As an immigrant who grew up in a popular vacation spot, I really appreciate Mut talking about the struggles of the locals

The only people who can afford to vacation where I do are rich people or those with families here. I grew up with a mother who cleaned the houses of rich people, never any mansions, but I know plenty of others who've done that. I grew up with a father who worked at a grocery store (very) frequented by tourists on their way to the beach. I worked as a camp counselor for celebrities and upperclass as a teen.

The messes I've seen. And no, the tourists don't care for the locals. It's like we live in separate worlds. They don't go to the family owned restaurants. They go to the high end ones where everything is $50+. They also have the option of going to the less conveniently located specialty grocery store.

They don't live in a small overpriced houses that locals can't afford to buy. They buy the large houses they only use for 2 months of the year and have local immigrant mothers clean the place that has dirty laundry tossed around randomly cause they were in a rush to head to the beach. Their gardens and homes are built by immigrant men who wait by the side of a 7-eleven to be picked up on the morning by passing trucks. And I can tell you none of these people are paid well.

Them buying these houses are also the reason landlords charge so much. Cause they know someone can and will pay, but it's not locals. Not to mention no local that doesn't come from old fishermen families (or the local upperclass families) can afford boats much less yachts. Yet the amount of boats I see at every port (gotta be at least 10 of them in 3 towns)...

I have respect for Mut, cause I know the bullshit locals have to put up with when it comes to tourists. People like Mut probably have it worse than I do. So even more respect.

Your art is so flipping pretty, and I just adore how you style all of the persona characters! But my question is, are there any other fandoms/works of art that you want to post or start rambling about? I hope you have a lovely day! (o゜▽゜)o☆

you can have those?

i have been separated from my beloved children (brine shrimp) by a terrible plague (covid) and as such i am being barred from visiting them (they are not in my home) by cruel and unusual forces (covid) but i miss them every day and am hoping that they will be big and strong and joyful when i return

Too Sweet

(T, 2.2k)

He’s a sweet boy, Mrs. Howard tells Sam, standing close by his side as they both watch Bucky work the grill, no less than four people giving him instructions and supervising his work.

Bucky’s cheeks are flushed, his sweaty hair pushed back, but he’s smiling wide and listening intently, eyes glinting and sleeves pushed up his forearms as he gestures with the spatula.

Sam nods, bites back a joke about anyone calling Bucky a boy, and swallows hard.

He’s screwed, is the thing. So screwed.
