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!)

Shows/Movies Remedy and Annapurna should make:

Full length Yötön Yö movie

Threshold Kids miniseries but with bigger puppets (similar to Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared)

Workplace mockumentary set in the FBC

Musical documentary about Poets of the Fall and Old Gods of Asgard

An actual Night Springs tv series

You mentioned how sickly motherspore would look, and I totally agree, but that put the thought into my brain of how concerned kid xelqua would be. Scared, even? Poor bub :(

I can't imagine motherspore being super kind to him either. She won't let the spores touch him, but that's about it. Imagine someone you follow around and lean into turns into a completely different person who gives the cold shoulder :(( feel like most of the time during S7, xelqua would try to stay around other hermits, but he misses his Grian

oh man...

Motherspore would treat him.. neutrally ? Definitely not as caring as Grian. Though, I think she'd also treat him as a pawn, so she'd randomly be much kinder, or uh, manipulative is a better word for the intentions.. ? Something to hold over Scar

xelqua would not have a fun time at all

Phantom Fever

When Danny left Amity he was pretty sure it would be a quick trip. He wasn't expecting a few days' visit to Gotham to check some annoying "co-workers" of Vlad's, a gala and a serious case of fever.

Being fair, Danny didn't know that ghosts could get sick, or how much damage this could do. His powers went completely haywire, activating and deactivating in the middle of the street, and it was only thanks to Vlad that he was able to come up with an excuse or two.

Vlad obviously didn't expect him to get sick either, if his disgusted face was anything to go by. The two had a truce of sorts but it was obvious they were only on friendly terms thanks to Jack Fenton.

Danny didn't feel like locking himself in a room and drinking soup. He wanted to call Frostbite, but he was too far away from the Realms, and the halfa refused to let Vlad check on him.

So he ended up on the streets of Gotham, spreading early winter and ice stalagmites in his wake. It was just luck that Vlad found him before the bats, who were obviously interested in the new development. Danny wondered how he was supposed to attend the gala in those conditions.

[ @jocundcompany | tyrian // salem ]

❛ If I can still breathe, I’m fine. ❜

“…Of course.” Salem half-turns, keeping Tyrian in the corner of her eye while she drifts to the nearest window. The vacant warehouse he’s taken to haunting since Atlas fell overlooks a tangle of cramped byways, shacks and little houses, sun-bleached awnings: all radiating a dread so profound she can feel it ringing in her teeth. Bright pain; thorny. His misery slithers furtively underneath.

She rests a hand upon the window frame. “No need to stanch the bleeding before the heart ceases to beat,” she murmurs, “after all.” Her talons click against the cinder-block wall, keeping time with the erratic pulse of Vacuo’s nightmares. Softly, “You are unhappy.”

Grieving. Even had she not witnessed his deterioration through the seers in the wake of Arthur’s death, Salem would have known it by the particular resonance of pain inside these walls; the hollow crying of life after death—that old familiar desolation.

But she does not wish to be… indelicate. The path unfolding before her seems more daunting each time she dares glance ahead, and a worming resignation to the inevitable circumscribes her pity. She will exhaust her justification for remaining in Vale in time, and there are limits even to Tyrian’s devotion. If he attacks Cinder—

–he will die. That is the end of it.

It prowls uneasily around the edges of her conscience. More than pity, discomfort with her own—injustice—is why she’s here. Some… threadbare hope that whatever vengeful impulse he might feel can be tempered. Cowardly. Selfish.

Sighing, Salem draws away from the window and folds her arms behind her back. “You needn’t pretend otherwise.”

one of the headcanons/aus i'm really fond of is, lyanna survives jon's birth (we are going to ignore how all of westeros handles that change and it's repercussions, because certainly it would be a butterfly effect and this just a self-indulgent not serious at all post) and let's imagine the fact that she had a child out of wedlock and the shame westeros society would put upon her for this is ignored, or most importantly ned stark, lord of winterfell and warden of the north decides to completely ignore it and lyanna is living in winterfell of her own free will with her son, i hope this helps to set the scene. i'm not going to talk about jon finally having a mother figure and a loving one at that, i'm deeply sorry. but i will tell you that i definitely see catelyn and lyanna butting heads in this one, catelyn would not be pleased with having an unmarried and dishonored lady and her bastard son around her highborn family.

but this post is about my girl, arya. this little girl would benefit so much of having a northern woman around her. in canon it's baffling how much southern education is prioritized in the stark household over a northern one.

arya is failing at septa mordane's teaching all the same in this universe, she confides in jon, because you bet they are just as close in this au as in canon and this ends up with jon making a off-hand comment to his mother.

so lyanna decides to take action, she starts to attend the girls lessons wanting to know why arya, who reminds her of her very own childhood, is failing at them (i just want (1) one adult to actually take the time and pay attention to arya and figure out that she's left-handed, thank you very much!)

this post is getting to long when what i only wanted was to write a few lines, so let me get some plotpoints going:

i believe lyanna would talk with the septa about arya's preferred hand, look i'm a self-proclaimed septa mordane hater so you get where this is going, but the septa refuses to listen. no, i don't think she would get fired over this, maybe if i was her employer, well hell yes. but i don't see eddard and/or catelyn making this type of decision over this issue. so lyanna takes it in her own hands to teach her embroidery (i will make a reader's choice if lyanna knows how to embroider or not beforehand)

but the image of lyanna trying her hardest to make sure arya is able to succeed at this task in late nights sessions, because there's not really a reasonable time slot left in arya's itinerary, with jon at her side willing to learn too, because honestly who cares if a bastard boy is learning embroidery with his mother and cousin, who cares if that's a designated "lady activity", he just wants to see his mother and arya smile, it warms my heart.

i want this conversation to happen in this au too:

“A wolf with a fish in its mouth?” It made her laugh. “That would look silly. Besides, if a girl can’t fight, why should she have a coat of arms?” Jon shrugged. “Girls get the arms but not the swords. Bastards get the swords but not the arms. I did not make the rules, little sister.”

and you know what is the result of that conversation in jon's mind: the need to give "needle" to arya. of course in this context, it will not be a parting gift, so i think it could be meant as a nameday present. maybe when arya had reached twelve namedays.

i'm finally getting to the part i wanted to write initially:

i'd love to see both arya and lyanna's personalities shinning through, in lyanna teaching arya how to use needle. from the bits and pieces we have in the books, we can assumed lyanna was passionated about sword fighting and she loved the activity as well. arya is overly joyous in being able to learn something that was deemed "only for boys" too, after all, she considers that having activities designated to do by gender is pretty stupid!

Arya watched them die and did nothing. What good did it do you to be brave? One of the women picked for questioning had tried to be brave, but she had died screaming like all the rest. There were no brave people on that march, only scared and hungry ones. (Arya VI, ACOK)

--

The night she was caught, the Lannister men had been nameless strangers with faces as alike as their nasal helms, but she'd come to know them all. You had to know who was lazy and who was cruel, who was smart and who was stupid. You had to learn that even though the one they called Shitmouth had the foulest tongue she'd ever heard, he'd give you an extra piece of bread if you asked, while jolly old Chiswyck and soft-spoken Raff would just give you the back of their hand. (Arya VI, ACOK)

Arya: *restrains herself from acting out when captured by the Mountain and his men because she knows fighting back/being brave wouldn't accomplish anything*

Arya: *takes note of the temperments of several Lannister guards so that she can learn how to navigate around their behavior*

Fandom: Arya is a feral idiot with no self-control uwu 🤗

Firefighter Ghost

Danny learned what a true hero was when he was 5 years old and his parents almost burned down their house by accident (or on purpose, he wasn't quite sure). At that time the firefighters were just getting to know the Fentons, but the boy couldn't help but be amazed at all of their actions.

After that, firefighters were a fairly weekly and common sight in his house but Danny always considered them his own heroes (sometimes they even gave him edible food!) so when he manifested ice powers, he decided he wanted to be that kind of hero too.

The problem was that by the time he decided, he was no longer in Amity. He became a kind of "walking firefighter" in his head. To all the other heroes he was a strange individual who saved people by freezing them.

Flash was pretty sure he was a hero (or trying to be one), but Batman had second thoughts about him after saving someone from hypothermia, in Danny's defense he really couldn't control the temperature of his ice and those were very honest accidents. What mattered was that people were safe.
