What was your first car's color? I've never had my own car.

Do you know anyone who suffers from bone loss? Uh, I don't know if this counts, but from a mix of diabetes and chemotherapy, my mom is losing bone in her jaw. She has a tooth that actually needs to come out because of it, but she's putting it off as long as possible.

If you had a baby, would you want to have it at home or in a hospital? In an alternative universe where I wanted a kid, I would absolutely have it at the hospital, no chance I’m doing it at home.

It turned me into a BITCH AND A HALF. Once around 2 PM came along, I was just evil, while prior, I was extremely upbeat and even hyper. I did not stay on it long.

Have you ever thrown a surprise birthday party? I don't think so.

If you celebrate Christmas, do you get a real tree or an artificial tree? Artificial.

Do you change depending on who you’re with? Mostly no. CERTAINLY not my beliefs, I hate when people do this. I’ll try not to swear around people who don’t like it. I’m more myself with people I’m comfortable with, if that counts.

Who was your 4th grade teacher? Mrs. Moore. I loved her a lot.

Do you know anyone named Tyler? I VERY briefly dated a Tyler and bro was too much. A friend also told me a story of him proposing to her friend literally a few weeks into dating. I’m glad I left him.

Are both your parents still living? Yes.

Have you ever had a pet fish? Yes, and I shouldn’t have lol. Fish husbandry is more advanced than average people realize. OF COURSE all the fish died quickly.

Would you make a good parent? My child would literally be taken by CPS for neglect and I know that. It’s part of why I’m getting my tubes removed.

What was the last tv show you watched? Severance with Girt. We’ve only watched the first few episodes, but we like it. I don’t think we can continue it though, Mom recently told me she can’t afford to keep the subscription to the streaming service it’s on.

[3liza]

incredible to me that in the age of spending minimum $100 for groceries for one person every three weeks where i live, people are still online like "dairy is bad for you because it has a lot of calories". at this point im calculating calories per dollar at the grocery store and youre still stuck in "fat bad" mindset from 1980. you are an absurd person to me. laughable

[lin-sterling]

the awkward turn

the stumble

will I ever stop taking shots of their legs? no but thanks for asking

The Big Otome Game Survey

Hello all,

I've decided to launch a big otome game survey, looking at most popular characters across several popular otome games (and whether there are any correlations in terms of people liking the same characters across multiple games). You can also vote for your favourite otome game among the options listed.

If you're interested in otome games, please do participate and reblog this post! You don't need to have played all of the games on the list in order to participant, just answer for any that you have.

The survey will close at 10pm (22:00) (UTC+1) on May 1st 2025 and I will publish the results sometime after.

Any issues with the survey just let me know in the replies on this post!

[rileys-battlecats]

[defyingdipity]

nuance in the tags!! 💚🩷

[cryptidsurveys]

Monday, January 6th, 2025.

What was the high and low temperature where you live today? The low was around 16F and the high was around 34F.

What are you wearing? Pajamas.

Have you ever made ice cream out of snow? I haven't.

If applicable, what do your earmuffs look like?

What do you own that’s made of wool? I might still have some wool hiking socks somewhere.

Does it snow where you live? It does. We got some on Saturday and might be getting some more tonight / tomorrow.

What’s the coldest you remember ever walking outside in? Somewhere around -20*F. Not common but also not unheard of during the night, but this was weird because it was during the day.

What’s your least favorite color? I don't have a least favorite color.

…and your favorite? Autumnal, woodsy, or wintry palettes. It's too difficult to choose just one favorite color.

What’s your second favorite color?

When was the last time you cleaned your kitchen? A few days ago. I saw this YT short several months back that said something like, "When you're an adult, you realize…no matter how much effort you put in, no matter how hard you try, no matter how much you wish things were different…you're going to have to clean the kitchen again tomorrow." And seriously. I'll clean it and blink and it will be dirty again.

Were schools canceled today where you live? No.

What’s your favorite thing to do on a snow day? I actually really like going to the animal shelter on snowy days, but I also love staying home all cozy in bed.

What’s the last thing you were worried about? Ugghh.

What color is your camera? Black. I don't use it anymore, though. I just rely on my phone for photos these days.

Today, we had a high of -10 and a low of -20. Is it cold where you are? It's chilly, but not abnormally cold for this time of year. It's pleasant for me because I love colder weather.

How many pairs of gloves do you wear in the winter? I wear one pair while scraping the car, but otherwise, I don't tend to wear gloves.

What’s one thing on your wish list right now? For my brain to ease up on the constant overthinking / overanalyzing / pointless worrying.

What’s one thing you think people probably assume about you? I have no idea. What I think they assume and what they actually assume are probably two very different things. I tend to think the worst because of how I view myself, but that doesn't mean others see me in the same negative light.

Do you like driving in the snow? I haven't experienced much snow driving yet. The thought does make me anxious, but there's this other side of myself that's just itching to try it.

What’s one thing that most people complain about that you love? Cold weather.

What color was the last plastic container you ate out of? Black with a clear top. My dad brought home some treats from the synagogue the other day. One of the women there is a great baker.

Have you ever made a milkshake out of snow? No. I probably wouldn't eat anything made out of snow. It just seems yucky.

Have you made a snow angel yet this year? I haven't.

Is snow your favorite part of winter? Aside from Christmas, yesss.

What color is your winter coat? One is gray and the other is maroon.

What color are your snow boots?

What do you remember the most about recess at school when you were a kid? Playing games like tetherball, four-square, tag, etc. Also spending a lot of time on my own just kind of wandering around.

What state (or country) do you live in? CO, USA.

What was the last room you worked on cleaning? Cattery at the animal shelter.

Do you own any power tools? We do have some power tools, but they aren't mine. The only thing close to that would be a handheld electric mixer.

Have you ever stretched a canvas? No.

What color are your kitchen chairs? Light brown.

What color is the last sweater you wore? Like an actual sweater and not a hoodie? Pine green. But the last hoodie I wore was dark blue.

Do you wear sweaters? I wear the one above fairly often. I also have another gray one with two kittens hanging in mittens that I wear occasionally.

When I put up my merch polls, someone filling it out asked for something with Ingo and Emmet’s teams, including Ingo’s gurdurr and Emmet’s boldore, because they’re often excluded.

It got me thinking about those two pokemon, and I like to think that at a time when Ingo would get back from Hisui, he’d see that gurdurr and boldore evolved when he was gone. And when Conkeldurr finally sees his trainer again, he’s very excited to see that they match!! Same goatee!!!!!

[asphodeldreams]

The first batch of survey results is here!

Due to how long it's going to take for us to get the full results done, we've decided it's going to be best to release them in batches so that we can start posting WAYYY sooner than we would if we tried to share everything all at once.

This batch consists of the more general demographic info that we collected, as well as all of the info regarding favorite seasons, favorite story arcs, etc.

Hope you enjoy reading through all these slides (mostly just looking at pie charts) while we keep working on future ones!

[sprinklecipher]

Hi there! I’m interested in how the meaning of "potato bug" varies by region, so I'm running a very short (~1 minute), anonymous survey to find out!

---SURVEY LINK---

You can complete the survey even if you've never heard of "potato bugs" before (but please indicate as much when prompted). Also, please be aware that the survey includes several photos of insects, so I'd advise against taking it if you're squeamish about bugs

Thanks and have a great day! :)
