[straightbaittournament]

only the straightbait with the lowest percentage will be eliminated; everyone else goes on to round 2! propaganda under the cut:

kit tanthalos and graydon hastur:

Classic arranged marriage trope but the she-hates-him part never goes away because she’s in love with her best friend/bodyguard Jade

tobias funke and debrie bardeaux:

It’s maybe not exactly right but Debrie starred in a series of softcore gay porn films called Straightbait where she seduces a guy but tells him he has to sleep with another man before he sleeps with her to prove how attracted to her he is, thus proving he isn’t gay. Tobias is also super gay. They date for like 40 episodes and raise a son together. Tobias gets left by his first wife for not being sexually attracted to her and then has an affair with a gay porn actress from a series called straightbait I just think it’s pretty funny.

izuku midoriya and ochako uraraka:

It’s the classic main character x friend who is a girl ship. They have no actual romantic interactions outside of their friendship. Ochako has “feelings” for Izuku, but they are clearly feelings of friendship until one of her friends insists that she must have a crush on Izuku, making her feel confused and embarrassed. Izuku clearly sees Ochako as a good friend, but when they first meet, he blushes and thinks “I can’t believe I just talked to a girl.” On the same day, he also blushes when he sees that a famous male hero is proctoring their exams. It’s literally so boring as a romantic ship. They have no chemistry as a couple.

willow park and hunter:

THEY ARE NOT STRAIGHT THEY R BI4PAN BUT IT IS AN M/F RELATIONSHIP They are an M/F relationship in The Gay Show and they are hinted and teased but never confirmed

travis touchdown and sylvia christel:

in the first game travis spends the entire game trying to get with sylvia (HE FAILS MISERABLY) and inbetween the sequel and the spin-off they get married, have kids, you know the drill HOWEVER COMMA in that same period of time travis runs away from said family and later moves in with a man. So.

raleigh becket and mako mori:

Literally everything about the writing of Pacific Rim make it seem like they're setting up for a romance between these two and then they just. Don't. Despite this, "drift compatable" was one of the most popular AUs for couples after the film came out for a hot minute because of how romantic they made the concept seem. *gestures to the entire movie* seriously

jeff winger and britta perry:

the show starts off with jeff creating the study group so that he can get with britta, they serve essentially as narrative foils, with jeff not caring about people and britta caring too much about people, they nearly get married on THREE (3) separate occasions, they're secret friends with benefits for an entire season but break up when the group finds out, they're the only two people from the core group left in greendale when the show ends; but in the end they make jeff's "true love interest" the girl who was half his age when the show started (36/18)...

asuka tenjoin and yuki judai:

The ship name (fianceshipping) comes from the episode where Judai *accidentally* duels some guy to become Asuka's fiance (said guy never asks Asuka how she feels about this, ugghhh greater Duel Academia student body be normal about ladies challenge). Turns out that he *didn't know what a fiance was* and just wanted to have a good ol' time cardgaming. I think that this says more about this ship than anything else I could tell you. During the final season, Asuka almost confesses to him but cuts herself off & they then thank each other for giving each other some clarity of mind because they're both going through pretty rough times at that point in the plot. Looks concerningly like they're about to do a whole "ohh we need to make the main girl and boy romance out of obligation" bit and then they just don't do it. It's great. I have no idea if this counts because I didn't personally feel baited but I think they're very fun as a pair and I like them 🫡. judai is the gayest guy of all time (subtext) and im like 80% sure asuka was experiencing comphet bc he's the only guy in their grade that treats her like a person. besties 4ever!!!!!!!! straightmod has been informed that judai is also textually queer because he is canonically attracted to a non-binary character.

kwan and win:

This is a Thai teen drama that focuses on many teens going through hardships and it's very dramatic and very fun I love it so much THESE TWO. They circled around each other for two whole seasons and the tension was there!! He was a bad boy, she was a good girl, every time they spoke there was something in the air. They were both arguably the leads of an ensemble cast and it really felt like they were being set up to get together but then it just... never happens. This show has been out for 10 years and I'm still mad about it. THE WASTED POTENTIAL OF IT ALL

valkyrie and thor:

Like a lot of ships with a white man and a woman of color, their chemistry and history get shunted to the side by racist writers and fans who refuse to acknowledge them as anything other than friends.

good luck everyone! now go vote!

[wildaboutmnhockey]

Do... do you actually track all the win rates in your collection? How many do you even have?

utudgkjdfh kind of?? like in a super vague sense?? While I love a good spreadsheet i haven't made one to keep actual track

Wild: wear them enough that they're all 50/50 at BEST Kraken: that's a big ol' 0% for my 2 games in Seattle Canes: 50/50 in Raleigh and 100% in MN (sorry again Wildblr) for a total of the aforementioned 66% Yotes: Okay TECHNICALLY it's 100% because I've only worn it once so far but that's not a proper sample size so she doesn't count into this (until after March 12th) PWHL: Haven't worn it to a game so nothing to keep an idea of

As for the collection itself, I am currently at 14 jerseys.

Wild: Koivu, Granlund, Parise, Talbot (signed), Spurgeon, Foligno, Kaprizov, 2022 Winter Classic (blank), Eriksson Ek (22-23 RR, signed), Brodin (signed) Kraken: Burakovsky Canes: Svechnikov Yotes: Dermott PWHL: Blank

A CREATION FOR EVERY MONTH OF 2022

rules: post your favorite or most popular post from each month this year (it’s okay to skip months!)

I was tagged by the lovely Zahraa @willsilvertongue, thank you, dear - actually very similar to you, I realised that I had giffed more and more diverse things on this blog than I remembered doing. I did skip out the summer months due to a small thing called TUA S3, which kept the sideblog very busy, so I've added some more to the months where I actually giffed to publish on here

February: Martin Schelling vs the Mortifying Ordeal of Being Known (I'm still so pleased with how pretty these came out, even if they are for a fandom with very few people in it, for a piece of media I hold very dear to my heart)

March: an inexplicably popular Lego Batman Movie gifset (I have no idea why this has over 1k notes. Lego Batman and Joker seem to be that good, apparently?)

April: my best boy James Maguire embracing traditionally feminine things <33 (I love him. My boy.)

May: Billy Batson's biological vs his first found family member (I think this one is the one I'm proudest of, the comparison just works and found family always gets to me - I giffed Shazam all throughout April and haven't since, I should get back to it)

October: Brian Rosenthal & Joe Walker at Starkid Homecoming (nobody but me cares about that, but since I know where and when I started giffing, the fact that these two wormed their way back into my giffing...some things apparently don't change) / Britney Coleman at Starkid Homecoming (she was so much fun to gif, honestly, smiling all the way through making this)

November: Mako & Raleigh <3333 (it makes me happy that people are still not normal about them in the tags) / A VHS Christmas Carol (These gifs turned out so pretty, and also everyone should still watch this show.)

December: John Kearns & Munya Chawawa on Taskmaster (that one was probably the one with the most work put into it, but I'm glad it exists) / Across the Spiderverse + Artworks (this one just makes me happy that I caught the references and could translate them into a gifset)

if you want (and if you haven't done so already), I'm tagging @seance, @tiffanyachings, @capinejghafa, @sohoseance, @viktorhargreeves, and whoever I am certainly forgetting here

More people saying ‘adios’ to Austin

Survey: City is 5th among move-outs

Austin has ended up on a new top 10 list, and this time it’s not on one of those “best of” ones.

In its fourth annual report on U.S. moving trends, PODS Enterprises – the moving and storage company known for its portable containers – ranks Austin No. 5 among the top 10 locations people are leaving this year.

“Starting in 2020, the advent of remote work, Austin’s then-attractive housing market and the relatively low cost of living compared to major cities like New York and Los Angeles drove new residents to Austin,” Rich Schwartz, senior vice president of corporate operations at PODS, said in an email.

“Simultaneously, as more people moved there and the demand for housing rose, Austin home prices increased 60% from 2020 to 2022.

“As the moving trend continued and peaked in 2022, Austin was ranked the 16th most moved-to city that year on PODS’ Moving Trends Report,” Schwartz said.

“The home price increase necessitated a subsequent departure of residents from Austin, which can be attributed to Austin’s absence from PODS’ 2023 most moved-to list, and why Austin is now among the top cities people are moving out of.”

Schwartz said Austin “was a precursor to the trends we see in 2024, where areas that had seen an explosion in new residents over the past three years are being outpaced by smaller cities with a less expensive cost of living.”

In April, half of the homes in Austin sold for more than $593,500 and half for less, for a 6% increase in the median closing price from the previous April, according to the Austin Board of Realtors’ latest statistics.

Across the five county Austin region from Georgetown to San Marcos, half of the homes sold last month went for more than $469,998 and half for less, for a 1.1% increase in the median closing price, the board said.

In the past couple of years, apartment leasing declined in Central Texas due to slower migration and slower job growth.

That was coupled with a supply of rental units that exceeds demand, local real estate experts have said.

Austin’s tech sector has seen layoffs by companies including big firms such as Oracle, Amazon, Google and Meta’s Facebook, which experts say have contributed to slower apartment leasing and fewer people moving in.

“Job growth is continuing, but at a slower pace due primarily to layoffs in the tech sector,” Charles Heimsath, an Austin-based real estate market expert, told the Statesman last year.

As for population growth, the Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos region is now No. 2 among U.S. cities with populations over 1 million after being first for 12 years.

However, the growth estimates still show “a continued trend of strong and rapid population growth for the Austin metro area even if we’re not at the very top of the list,” Lila Valencia, the city of Austin’s demographer, said in a March news release.

Where are people flocking to?

The report said the Carolinas accounted for 30% of the Top 10 U.S. relocation hot spots, while the Southern Appalachians are drawing those seeking a better cost of living and warmer climates.

“Last year, we noted the Carolinas were worth watching, and this year, they’ve not only taken the trophy as the number one spot for new moves but also broken a record,” Schwartz said.

For the second year in a row, Myrtle Beach, S.C., and Wilmington, N.C.., took the top spot for move-ins in the PODS survey.

Raleigh, N.C., jumped 14 places from last year, coming in sixth in 2024.

“More Americans are calling the Southeast home with the promise of lower costs of living, an exceptional quality of life, an incredible food scene, easy access to nature, and vibrant metro areas,” the survey said. “This migration highlights the region’s broad appeal to those craving a more balanced lifestyle at a reasonable price point without sacrificing modern amenities and rich cultural experiences.”

The entire Southern Appalachian region is booming, “with droves of people seeking the ‘quiet life’ in states like Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama,” the report said.

The survey listed these cities with the highest number of move-ins:

1. Myrtle Beach, S.C./ Wilmington, N.C. (first in 2023)

2. Ocala, Fla. (fourth in 2023)

3. Houston (fifth in 2023)

4. Greenville-Spartanburg, S.C. (10th in 2023)

5. Charlotte, N.C. (16th in 2023) 6. Raleigh, N.C. (20th in 2023)

7. Phoenix (18th in 2023)

8. Knoxville, Tenn. (seventh in 2023)

9. Jacksonville, Fla. (eighth in 2023)

10. Asheville, N.C. (17th in 2023)

Where are people leaving?

Schwartz said expensive metro areas are prompting Americans to move to cities and states with lower costs of living and more balanced lifestyles.

Los Angeles, Northern California, South Florida’s Miami metro and Long Island, N.Y., continue to see the largest population exoduses, the report said.

“While the draw to natural surroundings is a driving force, skyrocketing costs of living have proven equally influential in this lifestyle pivot,” the report said. “Exorbitant housing costs, overcrowding, and hefty tax burdens have become, for some, insurmountable challenges in these urban centers. As a result, many residents find themselves priced out and seeking reprieve from major cities. This mass relocation underscores the growing appeal among Americans in prioritizing access to nature and a more sustainable quality of life over the pace of city living.” PODS listed these cities as having the most move-outs:

1. Los Angeles (first in 2023)

2. Northern California (San Francisco area, second in 2023)

3. South Florida (Miami area, fifth in 2023)

4. Long Island, N.Y. (fourth in 2023) 5.

Austin (not ranked in 2023) 6. Central New Jersey (sixth in 2023)

7. Chicago (third in 2023)

8. San Diego (14th in 2023)

9. Stockton-Modesto, Calif. (ninth in 2023)

10. Hudson Valley, N.Y. (11th in 2023

‘I wouldn’t touch [them] with anybody’s money’: Grant Cardone argues these two major US cities are some of 'the worst markets to be in right now' for real estate investors — here's whyProlific real estate investor Grant Cardone has singled out two U.S. property markets he wouldn’t touch with a 10-foot pole: Austin and Seattle.Cardone shared this hot take — and many others — in an interview with Moneywise after he prompted an AI chatbot to answer the question: “What are the 10 best markets for investing in rental real estate in America?”Don't missThe AI Smith response started with: “The best markets for investing in real estate in America can vary depending on factors such as population growth, job opportunities, rental demand, affordability and potential rental income.”Up until that point, Cardone — who performed the task live on camera — was pretty happy with the response. But when the AI listed Austin, Texas, as the best market for investing in real estate, the investment guru blew up.“Austin, Texas is one of the worst markets to be in right now,” he exclaimed. “Of all the markets in America, it’s probably the most overbuilt.”Here’s why an overbuilt property market is bad for real estate investors — and how you can still invest without taking on all the risk yourself.Overbuilt property marketsThe top 10 American cities for investing in real estate AI Smith listed for Cardone are: Austin (TX), Dallas (TX), Nashville (TN), Atlanta (GA), Raleigh (NC), Phoenix (AZ), Tampa (FLA), Denver (CO), Charlotte (NC), Seattle (WA).But he wasn’t happy with that response.“Those [top] four markets are all on the top five list of the most overbuilt markets,” he said, suggesting that AI chatbots sometimes give out-of-date information and require fact-checking.Story continues“Real estate is a very fluid thing.”Cardone didn’t give a source for his “most overbuilt markets” claim but a report earlier this year by Redfin also listed Austin, Seattle and Denver among the fastest cooling property markets.That being said, it's important to always take advice from such financial experts with a grain of salt. Cardone has been the subject of litigation in recent years over allegations of misleading investors.He has denied the allegations, writing on LinkedIn it's a “tragedy our system is so litigious and people are encouraged to sue others in order to hold a company doing great things hostage.”Here's a deeper dive on these "overbuilt markets" and what it might mean for aspiring investors.Read more: Thanks to Jeff Bezos, you can now use $100 to cash in on prime real estate — without the headache of being a landlord. Here's howWhat’s wrong with Austin and Seattle?Austin was one of the boomtowns of the pandemic. It soared in popularity in 2021 and early 2022, with out-of-town remote workers moving there to take advantage of the historically low mortgage rates.However, the capital of the Lone Star State is now experiencing the quiet after the storm. While it has remained "resilient" in the face of challenges like rising interest rates, home sales and the median price of a home both fell in the first half of 2023. And, according to Norada Real Estate Investments, researchers consider Austin to be among the most overvalued markets in the United States, with home buyers paying almost 51% more than what's expected for homes.Redfin has described Austin as “a victim of its own popularity.” The surge of affluent home buyers during the pandemic pushed up property prices, and then the rapid rise in mortgage rates priced people out of the market, leading to a drop in demand.Meanwhile, Cardone said he “wouldn’t touch Seattle with anybody’s money.”The Emerald City has suffered a major blow to its job market. A huge surge in tech layoffs in the wake of the pandemic — similar to that experienced in San Francisco — has shaken the Seattle economy and has resulted in a drop off in home buying demand and competition.As of September, the number of homes sold in Seattle fell 17.

2% year-over-year, according to Redfin, and home prices were down 4.6%. And homes are lingering on the market for longer, too, for an average of 29 days — a 9.5% increase year-over-year, according to Rocket Homes.What this means for real estate investorsWhen a property market is overbuilt — whether housing or commercial properties — this can lead to an excess supply, which can drive down property values.As a real estate investor, this supply and demand imbalance can reduce your rental income (and potentially make it harder to find suitable tenants) and it could even lead to diminished profit margins.Overbuilt markets also tend to see an uptick in vacancy rates — like we’ve seen in the office sector in saturated markets like New York City — which can cause financial difficulties for investors, who must keep up with mortgage payments, maintenance fees and other costs.If the hassles associated with picking the right market, buying a property and becoming a landlord don’t appeal to you, but you’re still interested in real estate investments, there are other options.You can invest in a residential real estate investment trust (REIT), which are publicly-traded companies that collect rent from tenants and pass that rent to shareholders in the form of regular dividend payments.You may also consider crowdfunding platforms that allow everyday investors to pool their money to purchase property (or a share of property) as a group.What to read nextThis article provides information only and should not be construed as advice.

[straightbaittournament]

only the option with the least votes will be eliminated! the rest go on to round 3. propaganda under the cut (and more always welcome!):

kit tanthalos and graydon hastur:

Classic arranged marriage trope but the she-hates-him part never goes away because she’s in love with her best friend/bodyguard Jade

tobias funke and debrie bardeaux:

Tobias gets left by his first wife for not being sexually attracted to her and then has an affair with a gay porn actress from a series called straightbait I just think it’s pretty funny. Debrie starred in a series of softcore gay porn films called Straightbait where she seduces a guy but tells him he has to sleep with another man before he sleeps with her to prove how attracted to her he is, thus proving he isn’t gay. Tobias is also super gay. They date for like 40 episodes and raise a son together.

izuku midoriya and ochako uraraka:

It’s the classic main character x friend who is a girl ship. They have no actual romantic interactions outside of their friendship. Ochako has “feelings” for Izuku, but they are clearly feelings of friendship until one of her friends insists that she must have a crush on Izuku, making her feel confused and embarrassed. Izuku clearly sees Ochako as a good friend, but when they first meet, he blushes and thinks “I can’t believe I just talked to a girl.” On the same day, he also blushes when he sees that a famous male hero is proctoring their exams. It’s literally so boring as a romantic ship. They have no chemistry as a couple.

willow park and hunter:

THEY ARE NOT STRAIGHT THEY R BI4PAN BUT IT IS AN M/F RELATIONSHIP They are an M/F relationship in The Gay Show and they are hinted and teased but never confirmed

raleigh becket and mako mori:

Literally everything about the writing of Pacific Rim makes it seem like they're setting up for a romance between these two and then they just. Don't. Despite this, "drift compatible" was one of the most popular AUs for couples after the film came out for a hot minute because of how romantic these two made the concept seem. *gestures to the entire movie* seriously

jeff winger and britta perry:

the show starts off with jeff creating the study group so that he can get with britta, they serve essentially as narrative foils, with jeff not caring about people and britta caring too much about people, they nearly get married on THREE (3) separate occasions, they're secret friends with benefits for an entire season but break up when the group finds out, they're the only two people from the core group left in greendale when the show ends; but in the end they make jeff's "true love interest" the girl who was half his age when the show started (36/18)...

asuka tenjoin and yuki judai:

The ship name (fianceshipping) comes from the episode where Judai *accidentally* duels some guy to become Asuka's fiance (said guy never asks Asuka how she feels about this, ugghhh greater Duel Academia student body be normal about ladies challenge). Turns out that he *didn't know what a fiance was* and just wanted to have a good ol' time cardgaming. I think that this says more about this ship than anything else I could tell you. During the final season, Asuka almost confesses to him but cuts herself off & they then thank each other for giving each other some clarity of mind because they're both going through pretty rough times at that point in the plot. Looks concerningly like they're about to do a whole "ohh we need to make the main girl and boy romance out of obligation" bit and then they just don't do it. It's great. I have no idea if this counts because I didn't personally feel baited but I think they're very fun as a pair and I like them 🫡. judai is the gayest guy of all time (subtext) and im like 80% sure asuka was experiencing comphet bc he's the only guy in their grade that treats her like a person. besties 4ever!!!!!!!! straightmod has been informed that judai is also textually queer because he is canonically attracted to a non-binary character.

kwan and win:

This is a Thai teen drama that focuses on many teens going through hardships and it's very dramatic and very fun I love it so much THESE TWO. They circled around each other for two whole seasons and the tension was there!! He was a bad boy, she was a good girl, every time they spoke there was something in the air. They were both arguably the leads of an ensemble cast and it really felt like they were being set up to get together but then it just... never happens. This show has been out for 10 years and I'm still mad about it. THE WASTED POTENTIAL OF IT ALL

valkyrie and thor:

Like a lot of ships with a white man and a woman of color, their chemistry and history get shunted to the side by racist writers and fans who refuse to acknowledge them as anything other than friends.

good luck everyone! now go vote!

Bussin Pizza

You can tell how long someone has been living in Raleigh by what they remember being on Hillsborough Street. When someone waxes on about the glories of Sadlack Lunch or drunken evenings at East Village, you know they've been here awhile.

One of the landmarks of Hillsborough Street's past was Sub Conscious. Perched on high the top of the stretch of road between Dan Allen and Gorman, the old sub shop earned a stellar reputation from old Wolfpac alumnus. However, the sub shop wasn't able to get through the pandemic closing their doors in 2020.

Eventually the Italian Kitchen of Raleigh took over the space but didn't find a solid footing. In early 2022, the business was sold and transformed into Bussin Pizza. Running this new pizzeria is a former owner of the original Brookside Pizza, which was a beloved local eatery that only neighborhood folks truly knew about.

To sustain some business during NC State's summer break, the pizzeria introduced a weekday pizza buffet. Lately, I have found myself longing for a quality local buffet. In the wake of COVID's devastation, the locally owned buffet seemed to be one of its causalities that haven't been able to find a way to resurface. Weekend brunch buffets have only been offered for special events and its harder to find a Indian lunch buffet now than before.

Upon arrival to Bussin' Pizza for its buffet, you are handed a sheet of paper listing about a dozen choices of slices to mark your order. After ordering piping hot pizza gets served to your table and the sheet for you to order more. This is a move that work better for their space and also the quality of the product.

The pizzeria's social media praises their Grandma pizza as famous. A bite of Bussin's Grandma pizza crunches as you sink your teeth into its square crust while chucks of tomato and herbs give it a distinct freshness. It was clearly the best slices of the offerings.

It be nice if Bussin Pizza is that next landmark that bridges the gap between NC State alumni and new students. If its grandma pizza is something beloved by old and new Raleighites. Because as the street and city changes, Raleigh could really use some more of those spaces.

The Ongoings of Life

Goodness it's been a hot minute since I've been on! I've been busy with life. I'm married now and going to be 30 in a couple of months. I dove head first into the world of make up and am enjoying the learning process. I've had such a confidence boost since I started using these products routinely!

We adopted a boxer mix August 7th, 2022 and she's been a very welcome member of our family. She's the perfect amount of mellow and active for me. She's one of the greatest snugglers and I'll probably mention her quite a bit. Her name is Annie! She has some separation anxiety so she ends up with my sister in law while I'm at work. We still have Raleigh and Riggs, they're almost 8 and 5. Oh, and Annie is 2. I'll post some updated pics here soon.

In my last post I talked about my PCOS and that's still ever present. As we approach our one year anniversary I've had several instances where I thought I may be pregnant but that hasn't yet turned out to be the case. I talk candidly about it Tibecause I want others to know they're not alone in their fertility struggles. I too am somehow inadvertently hurt when another baby announcement pops up but oh how joyous I feel for that celebration! I keep reminding myself we're only about a year into this marriage thing and even though we've been together nearly 7 years that doesn't mean we're yet equipped to have little ones of our own. Despite all of that I'm working on making changes and figuring out what I want for consistency in my life. I've made some new eating habits and that is progress.

We're also working on our financial health because it's been ill for a while. We're learning new things together. We're changing habits and I've been meal prepping and I actually sat down and wrote out a budget. All of this has made our money habits less stressful and more beneficial for us. The best part is, we're not doing it alone, we have people in our corner who are cheering us on and helping us.
