My mom and stepdad gave me several cookbooks and it's taking almost all my willpower not to just straight up ghost work for a week to cook as much as possible

hello! your blog is so cute! may i request a romantic matchup please? (english is by no means my first language, so i apologize for any mistakes!)
name's lemi! pronouns she/her, but i wear masculine clothes and hv a boyish haircut, which gets me a lot of trans comments when i'm not. straight! i'm an introverted gemini, and my friends call me the "embodiment of an ISFJ" and that's really all my personality, because apparently i've been described perfectly by those MBTI websites hahaha
i spend most of my time learning new languages(currently going on my 7th!), doing student council stuffs (president for 2 years!), and community services (because your girl does not have any particular hobbies).
i'm a "can't say no to anything, ever" kind of person, but i do genuinely enjoy helping out ^^ i usually have a lot of things on my plate, so i don't have much free time :( i get nervous talking to people, but have to because of my positions, which usually leads me exhausted, so i'd like if my partner is more "chill" and relaxed, ya know?
i'm a people pleaser, so i do tend to put myself last (i can't take care of myself to save my life) and i avoid conflicts at all cost, which i know annoys some people.
thank you so much! have a good day!
hi! thank you for requesting! holy shit- you can speak 7 languages that’s insane, like i can barely speak my first (dumb bitch things). anyways, here’s your matchup!
generating matchup...
Tumblr media
matchup: complete
i match you up with kita!
Tumblr media
what first drew kita to you, was that you were basically him, except you were driven more by your feelings than logic, like he is. he wanted to meet someone that isn’t as over-the-top his teammates/friends are, and since you shared many of the same personality traits as him, you were the perfect fit. you help him understand why some people are driven by their emotions, and he’s always the voice of rationality for you, so it’s a pretty good relationship.
kita is amazed that you know so many languages, and he asked you to  teach him a couple that you know. he was a fast learner, so he quickly learned the basics of the language you taught him. he now is trying to learn his 4th language, and whenever you guys have conversations, you switch between languages with no hesitation, and everyone is so confused when they listen in to your talks with him.
he is always sure that you are taking care of yourself, and not overworking yourself for others. he knows that you tend to forget about your needs, so he will always be there to remind you, with a water bottle, a snack, or just a gentle reminder that you don’t need to put everyone before yourself. he will never get mad, but if you ignore his reminders he will be a little stern and petty until you listen to him.
most of your dates are outside, and they are pretty chill, because kita doesn’t feel the need to do something super extravagant out show how much he cares about you. one of your most memorable dates you had with him was a picnic date, where you both made some desserts and food, and spent the entire day vibing, the sunlight warming your faces and a nearby tree giving you guys the perfect amount of shade.
you guys volunteer for charities a lot, because both of you like to help people out, and though the work isn’t really that fun, the job isn’t that bad because you guys are doing it together. his favorite place that he volunteered with you was the beach cleanup, because after you guys were done you got to chill on the beach, and it lowkey turned into a date.
you and kita often have study dates, and they actually are pretty productive, and both of you cover a lot of topics and learn a lot. after you guys feel like you learned enough, kita will put on one of those old sappy movies (The Princess Bride, Dirty Dancing, etc.), and just make lowkey shady comments about how stupid the movie is, and how dumb the characters are to drop everything for love.
he loves when you go to his games, and he gets really happy that you wanted to come support him. after the game, he will be thanking you profusely, and will be a little more clingy than usual. he will show you to his teammates, and tell them about how nice and caring you are, and if atsumu tries to do anything, kita will not hesitate to emotionally damage him with a smile on his face.
kita memorizes your favorite foods, drinks, items, etc. so he can surprise you with them when he goes and meets up with you. if he ever sees something that reminds him of you, or that he knows you would like while out shopping, he will buy it immediately and give it to you the next time he sees you in person.
he likes to match outfit aesthetics with you when you guys go out together, but he never will mention it to you because he thinks it’s sappy and a little cheesy, but he will always look at your outfit before choosing his own, so he will be able to match you, and if you ever notice it and point it out, he will get a little flustered and pretend that he didn’t do it on purpose, but he’s secretly really happy that you noticed.
overall, you guys are such a chill couple, that is really cute and aesthetic at the same time, and people envy just how much kita cares for you, and how happy he is when you succeed at something you put your mind to. both of you love to help others, so whenever you guys are together, everyone around you is literally blessed to have you guys there, because you both will always lend a helping hand.
i hope you enjoyed!

Two questions (not specific to any show). Do you really trust the method of counting online trps? Because I've seen different websites coming with different data. Second, does everyone watch shows on official online hosting sites like Hotstar, Voot (for Colors), Sony Live, etc? I'm pretty sure quite a chunk of people watch it on shady website. LOL I watch BP on such a website, thats why I am curious. Plus, isn't most of the online fd from countries which don't even have access to official sites?
I’ll answer your second question first. No, of course not everyone watches the show on the official sites. I myself get the day’s episodes from a shady site, coz I’m not willing to pay for Hotstar Premium. And when I lived abroad, none of these sites were open to my region anyway, so again, I relied on the shady sites, even though I did have a subscription to the channels on TV too. (Online, adless viewing is more convenient to me that traditional TV watching.) So yes, most of the online watching is through non official mediums. Like, now with ppl putting up entire episodes on instagram, I don’t think even the shady sites are really required. Just follow the show’s hashtag on IG and you’re all set.
Now coming to the first question: It’s not up to ME to trust/believe. Whether the numbers that are being reported are reliable or not, in addition to those external lists, all these platforms have their own internal reporting measures that would allow them to make their decisions based on the numbers generated. They can see what show is being watched, how much and in what region. And if those numbers/demographics satisfy them and justify the cost of production, then the show keeps getting made.
Conflating the noise an online fandom makes to the money it generates is a misstep. How vocal a fandom is doesn’t matter. It’s how much money the channel can make off them. If just the trending topics on twitter or whatever mattered, then shows like NK and IPK3 wouldn’t have been pulled off air. There was that whole “End YHM” campaign which obviously amounted to nothing. In the end it’s all about the money. Is the show generating the expected revenue, whether that be through traditional TRPs = ad money/premium site subscriptions/ad money gotten from the free viewings/however else they choose the monetize the sites? Then it continues to air. Simple.
I’m sure there’s also some other stuff behind the scenes, like legal contracts and what not, that go into the decision-making, but obviously I’m not privy to those, so I’m choosing to concentrate on the monetary aspect of it all.

hi Ren! i soon will be going to change my name (hopefully) and i just wondered if you had any tips on stating my case in front of the judge. (btw, it's not because i'm trans and it's my last name but i think that you could still help me, cause i pretty nervous) thank you! 💕
Hi! So if you live in the United States (where I do) each state handles the process slightly differently.  I changed my name in a pretty liberal state (CT) so the entire thing took like fifteen minutes and the judge was very kind about the whole thing.  Regardless, I can talk to you about my experiences, because I can’t imagine they differ wildly between states.  Also!  If you check your probate court’s website, there’s a good chance they have documentation about name change law up there for you to read, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to read up on that as well.
**This process is also different if you’re a minor!  I’m going to assume you’re not because I changed my name when I was 19 and can’t speak for the experiences of minors.**
It sounds like, from the way you worded your message, that you’ve already submitted the correct forms to the clerk and are waiting for your court date. Regardless, in case I read that wrong, I’m going to go through the whole thing.
The first thing you’re probably going to have to do is submit two forms: the first is basically a thing you sign saying that you’re not changing your name for shady reasons like avoiding the law or debt, etc., under penalty of perjury.  The second is the actual form you fill out requesting your name change, where you put down your personal information, your old name, and the name you want to change it to.  Please remember to bring forms of ID, and backups.  They’re going to require multiple forms of ID to prove who you are, and not all IDs are considered “valid enough.”  Please check the court’s website and additional resources to make sure you’re bringing the right IDs.  You’re also going to need to give a reason for your name change.  They like it when you’re specific (instead of writing just “personal”), because if you’re specific, the judge will 1) have less of a reason to refuse your name change and 2) you will have to do less explaining when you actually see the judge.
You’re going to submit these forms to a clerk, who’s going to look them over, approve them, take some money for a processing fee, validate your IDs, and give you a court date.  This will not be the same day you submit your forms. I thought it would be, but it could be weeks out depending on how busy the court is, so sorry in advance.
On the day of your court date please dress business casual.  You’re going before a judge.  And just in case, bring an ID or two as proof of identity.  Check the policy on this, but in my state you’re allowed to bring family with you if you think it will help your case.  They need to sign in as your guests.  The good news is that you probably won’t be in an actual court.  I just sat in the judge’s office across the table from him, which is much less intimidating.  You’re not being charged with anything, this change is clerical in their minds, so that’s less pressure on both the judge and you.
The meeting with the judge is just to clear up any confusions he has about why you’re changing you name.  It’s much lower pressure than it feels.  If you’re specific on your form, like I was, he might not have any questions.  Mine just signed the form and congratulated me.  However, be prepared in the event that the judge does have questions, most likely just why you are going through all this trouble to change your name.  But if they don’t have proof that you’re doing this for illegal reasons (I think they do a cursory background check to make sure you’re not shady) and you’re not just doing this on a whim, it’s pretty likely he’ll sign your form and then you’re good to go.  They’ll mail you a court order a week or two later, which is what you’re going to need as proof to change your IDs and anything else that has your old name on it.
I hope this was helpful! Please let me know if you have any more questions, and other people can feel free to reblog.

I was the anon that bought a ticket. I meant the blog fucknofannibals (sorry). I actually found this blog after buying my ticket. I'm concerned on the whole charity thing, I get that maybe prices have to be high because of how new the con is and most of those people are learning. I didn't find your response antagonistic, you're looking for answers like I am. I'm curious, honestly I'm probably going to attend the con, but can still hold skepticism. best wishes x
Well if you come back again here’s the thing and I’ll try to explain it better. 
1. They only have one room and that room’s maximum capacity, legally, is 500 people as they’ve stated themselves. See that post here.
2. Their Kickstarter said that they needed 10K something dollars just for startup costs. Which the list is well known by this point. Needed to book a room, legal fees, website/domain hosting (which isn’t even possibly as much as they claim so they are definitely lying about that I don’t care what you think) the logo and “consultant” but they haven’t even hired a consultant. Upon contacting the people they claimed were consulting, yeah no one ever heard of Betsy. Even if she “warned” them about the Mod she’s demonizing, there are more of us and she doesn’t know our names. So, unless she happens to know the name and email of everyone who works on this blog to “warn” people? Well, there’s no reason for those alleged consultants to ignore someone like me, seeing as how she could not warn them against that. Ergo, they never hired anyone as a consultant they lied about that too. This takes me to the next point.
3. Even if they sold out all their 160$ tickets for 500 people, and trust me there aren’t nearly that many people going or buying tickets, that’s only 80,000 dollars. Now, appearance fees for guests to any convention start at around 5 grand and only get higher from there. Then they also have to pay for the hotel stay, travel, meals, and other expenses to make sure the guests are safe. They have 6 now. Already if all of their fees are only 5K they have spent 30 thousand dollars. However, they are also asking Janice to literally work one night while she’s there to make dinner so we know that’s more than 5K to pay her. 
4. Projected ticket sales at best are 100-200 people if that. Too many people do not want to spend that much to get there. If they sell 500 tickets at 55$ that’s even less money and they still won’t sell that many tickets due to the fact that, like it or not, plenty of people think this is a scam, outside of the mods on this blog. Most people don’t want to go because they know it’s shady. 
5. They would literally have to sell all of their tickets at the highest tier they have to even begin to afford most of what they have promised. There is one entire day with nothing going on except a bus tour which you still have to pay extra for and there is still not a price on that. You still have to pay extra for each autograph and each photo op. You have to pay extra for Janice’s dinner. None of these things, as of now, have any sort of pricing option and they should have a general idea of what those prices should be, or at least estimate and put a “Prices subject to change” on their website. 
6. They don’t update their website basically at all, and they still have yet to fully explain membership and detail their alleged anti-harassment policy. Furthermore, there is pretty solid proof that Betsy, the leader of the convention advocates cyber stalking and harassment, we already made a post about that. So a woman who thinks it’s funny to also watch one of the mods on here get tormented by Fannibals is going to put up a legitimate anti-harassment policy? You trust that? You trust any of this? Especially since she’s in her 40s or something and literally gets hostile if someone asks a legitimate question? 
So, in conclusion, the only thing that could possibly be going on is some lie to these guests. Whether they are lying about projected ticket sales or lying about being a charity to get donated time, they are still lying. These people are not going to get any sort of payment rendered because this convention isn’t bringing in the money it needs to house these people. They are bringing on more and more guests where the most public budget figure they have is 14 thousand dollars. Now, I know that some people bought tickets, fair enough, but given that the most public figure they have is that 14 thousand dollars and they allegedly needed almost all of that for start-up fees, please explain to me how you think they have money to do literally anything else they’ve been promising. 
Oh right, they don’t, and for some reason people ignore all of this and are willing to possibly even screw over cast members because they’d much rather attend a con with their friends, then worry about the livelihood of the cast and the fact that this is taking time and work out of their day. Do you think any of that is fair? Why are you supporting this? 
Also, this blog isn’t affiliated with that blog I don’t know why you keep mentioning that. The point is, go to this thing if you want, but be very aware that these four women, Betsy especially, are about to screw over not only a whole bunch of Fannibals but the cast and crew of actors all of you claim to love. That choice is up to you, but it will end badly and you will regret being a part of it.
PS: We have legitimate reasons to believe everything we are saying but unfortunately right now we cannot post why or how we have this information, we just do, and people need to start listening to it before there’s an actual shit storm.
