#i feel like this is a weird poll to make

[lily-blue-blue-lily]

i ask because growing up i always thought i had a normal amount of cousins but now everyone always tells me i have a lot so i wanna see whats average

also i included that last option because its probably what fits best for me personally but for reference i think the amount of cousins i have is somewhere in the early 20s

#polls #i feel like this is a weird poll to make #but also ive had so many conversations where people are surprised by how many cousins i have #and i wanna know whats average

the whole jellie poll incident is such a mess like. nobody on this site knows how to act normal. mcytblr especially included. i don't like the op at all either, i thought the "joke" was cruel and the original apology backhanded but like...yall are dogpiling and harassing people too now. if you don't want people to tell you to kill yourself for liking mcyt, you ALSO cannot be telling people to kill themselves. it is not justified or cute when you do it. like can we ALL just step back and act normal. it really annoys me that our fandom has such a bad reputation but anytime there's an incident like this, all we do is prove we're a mob. i'm not saying everyone should just be fine with being insulted all the time but i think at this point (with the poll) it's a whole conglomeration that should probably just be put to rest. every time that post crosses my dash it has like 2k more notes and it makes me worried that it's containment breaching so badly. just feels like a ticking time bomb to me idk

#if you dont know what im talking about just close ur eyes and let the bliss of not knowing overtake you #i also dont like that scar and jellie are at the center of it cause it feels like....i dunno #feels like the more we loudly defend them the more everyone else is going to push back and hate them #and the worse that they look when people are harassing other people in their name? #idk i think i'm being very sensitive about it i just kinda wish the poll didnt happen at all #it feels like it's all off the rails now if that makes sense #i think mcytblr has a justified reason to be pissed off i just think that now it's like looped around into a weird out of control thing #that is now harassing other people and just deepening the divide between everyone #tldr cant we all be nice

i'd appreciate reblogs <3

#polls #latin america #THIS QUESTION HAS BEEN EATING AT ME #hope this doesnt come off as a latin america vs diaspora thing. it's not! #i just thought might be more interesting to put it this way #i'm making this poll because sometimes i'll see people from like... africa or asia refer to themselves as ''gringos'' #in the context of latin america #AND IT'S ALWASY SO WEIRD TO ME. it just doesn't feel like it fits #so like... do you use ''foreigner'' x ''gringo'' interchangably? #to me a gringo is anyone from europe/north america regardless of ethnicity. it's more of a cultural thing #but only if they carry very heavily that... european/NA mentality #so a lot of diaspora for example i wouldnt consider gringos #because they don't have that level of... hm how do i say #innocent ignorance #that can be either endearing or extremely annoying

this is intended to be, like, if a stranger on the street you were having a conversation with called you love.

think of any random person. I know this is dependent on context, but I don't want everyone to be hitting "else" just because if they're really nice they'd be okay with it. If any typical person you were chatting with called you "love", how would you react?

#despite how it sounds this isn't actually a personal opinion poll #it's more of a location thing #i'd personally feel like they're being condescending. it's not the kinda thing people say in florida #i'd say in southeast USA in general‚ but i've come to realize our tourism kinda messes with our culture and makes it different #but i know in some places that's just a thing people say. and some places that's a genuine compliment #curious as to the distribution #poll #polls #existenceunrelateds #actually maybe it's me. maybe it's florida. #but a LOT of those affectionate names other places use so iften come across as insulting to me #like “dear” and “love” and such #“miss” is VERY weird. don't call me that. i'm visibly a minor. #it always feels kinda creeper-y when‚ like‚ teachers call out names and say “Miss A----” instead of just my name #but i can never say anything bc i know that's a totally notmal and even respectful thing to do with kids in other places

in honor of not tonight tour!

#tegan and sara #tns #poll #polls #music poll #tumblr poll #i don't think of iiwy as like one of my top tns albums #but it's truly so solid #like ofc living room is a minted classic #but then i love every other song so much #except don't confess. it's not bad it just makes me feel Weird and i don't listen to it lol

So you waited until she was technically an “adult” to have this talk with her? …Little late there bud.

Also I know the sexual education system really isn’t that good (in the US at least), but I don’t believe that not one of MC’s schools at least offered a sex ed unit in like a required health class or something

#choices id #choices immortal desires #choices #choices stories you play #playchoices #now I’m kind of interested to know how many people in the Choices community had some sort of sex ed offered at their schools #but I feel liked it’d be weird to make a poll for that lmao #choices app #pixelberry studios #pixelberry

By spam the dashboard, I mean post/reblogs posts one after the other.

Teehee

#avian speaks #here i am talking about some nonsense so i can reach the “see more tags” thingy so i can plug in something #teehee #something something gay ass ocs whatever #so the point is im bored #the penis poll post backfired and now its got like over 150 notes and i dont want to be the op to a popular post #back on topic #so #I WILL DRAW #if you have a very obscure animal fursona i will draw them #by like obscure if its a wolf im prolly not gonna be the interested and i would rather be drawing like a rainbow trout fursona #like obscure as in just not like the big top 10 mammals that people make into fursonas #OR if you have a spec bio fursona I WILL DRAW THAT TOO #like i wanna draw some weird alien fursona #something something must provide a ref/wont design a character unless i think its really interesting and want to blah #do people actually read these #tryna limit the amount of drawing asks i get by doing this #feel free to send in something even if youre not sure #i might draw it

Ok. Real question. How many people Actually have believed in Santa? Bc I never did, mostly bc my dad never bothered with the entire pretense, so the whole concept is just. Really fucking strange to me

Putting an actual poll bc I feel like I'm losing my mind a bit thinking about how apparently widespread it is. Like. It's just so... weird? Why is this the thing people have popularized? It makes no sense.

#speculation nation #polls #like ok my dad's an atheist raised by jewish parents so xmas has never really been a religious sort of holiday to me #we celebrate it bc it's fun to give gifts and spend time with family #but that's... it. #all the lore and mythos of xmas is just so weird to me #like baby jesus etc etc but now here comes saint nicholas with the steel chair! (breaking into your house to eat your cookies #and leave presents Only for the rich kids! why only the rich ones? uhmmm Dont worry about it!) #genuinely speaking my dad's worked at ups my whole life so growing up he'd say he (and the rest of his coworkers) were the real santas #said as a joke mostly bc theyre the ones Actually delivering the packages #but i took it to heart. told people at school that my dad was the Real santa. #no one believed me lol which i found quite frustrating. #but yeah i have never once in my entire life believed in Santa #and im content with that. it seems like such a stupid thing i will be honest. #'what about the magic of christmas' what about the poor kids who dont get gifts & feel abandoned by this all-powerful man? #in fact why do we Want kids to not think it's their parents giving gifts? they cant thank the right people if we trick them. #it's a convoluted setup that makes absolutely 0 sense to me #trust me christmas had more than enough 'magic' for me as a kid just bc of all the cool lights and all the free gifts #dont need some mythological man who can travel the globe in one night and is a professional in B&E #makes no sense for Real. #there was a time with my ex step siblings where me n my sister were told not to spoil the fun for them #so i had to pretend like santa existed as they opened presents marked from him #and even back then i was just thinking 'this is So Dumb' #this is an anti santa zone i guess. me and myself hate the popularized version of this strange strange belief system.

[sga-owns-my-soul]

i'm just curious

#i feel like. one of these things is Not Like The Others #and pretty sure it's gonna get 0% but #i didn't want to make everything the same kinda thing #anyways i'm very curious how people perceive me #bc apparently yall do that #which is still weird to me bc i genuinely see myself as a no one blog #but a lot of people actually fairly regularly interact with me?????? #which is SO weird to me #but appreciated very much nonetheless #anyways #vibes #polls #not stargate

I can't be too mean to him because we're in the same program and we have classes together until we graduate. I don't think he will react poorly if I turn him down but also I don't wanna risk anything so. most of this is advice from my friends if you have any other ideas feel free to contribute

#poll #lilac post #ive just been ignoring him and hoping it will resolve itself on it's own #his friends keep calling him a simp and I'm not at all interested #I feel kinda bad because he is nice and friendly but also he does not at all know how to like. be non awkward about his flirting #it just comes off like. weird #ive just been politely ignoring all the shit he's done #he's like. A cishet guy for the record and im a cis girl so #i don't THINK he knows I'm gay? I've been making gay jokes but idk if he's been catching them #anyways I ghosted him last week so maybe that will help me #also he unironcally uses the 🥹 emoji when talking to me like eugh #he's done other things like. he seems nice but is awkward about it and I'm not interested #sigh

i have Strong Feelings and want to know if they are mutual Strong Feelings or if im just being sensitive

*extremely biased trope explanation under the cut

you have a Robot Friend. Robot Friend says they cannot feel, but very clearly through their actions is stuffed with love and only says they cannot feel bc they actually cant PROCESS what theyre feeling. some scientist comes along with an Upgrade that is honestly kinda pushed onto Robot Friend, and now Robot Friend can show emotion in a traditional way but its very clearly overstimulating for Robot Friend. something goes wrong and everyone accepts that Robot Friend has to go back to the way they were (which doesnt affect their many friendships with the crew!!!!) but because of this glimpse of Traditionally Expressive Friend everyone either feels like they were cheated out of something or (correct response) they translate this as Robot Friend still loving them and having loved them this entire time in their own way

#i really really dont like this trope #it makes me feel weird #like the way i express emotion/affection isnt Good Enough to neurotypicals and allos #but idk if thats the right takeaway #so who better to ask than the interwebs #mushroom polls #tumblr polls #emotion chip trope #aroace #aromantic #asexual #neurodivergent

you guys do know that we don't have to vote with the reddit whims right? like, that's the point of us having 360k people in this tag and all trying to use collective voting power. and it's one thing if on those "who do we vote out next" polls the majority vote is genuinely the one you most want to see go, but I keep seeing it be like "oh we all need to vote out this one because the redditors will vote for that one next" and then you run a poll like "who are we taking out next" and everyone picks the option you just said the redditors will want out. like then literally what's the point of running that poll. you all already know what the redditors want gone and apparently we suddenly care what they think🙄

idk just. I do get the point in running these polls to make sure everyone knows what everybody else will be voting for so that we can team up, but I think on our preliminary polls you should pick who you genuinely want out maybe and it just doesn't seem like we're even trying to give the other ships we like a chance at this point because if it isn't byler then we have to follow the whims of a website we're not even on apparently!!

#like they're literally not as big an audience as you think they are idk why OUR PRELIMINARY POLLS #ARE ALSO BEING VOTED ON ACCORDING TO REDDIT?? #idk just. maybe those results really were everyone's genuine feelings but I just don't believe it. #also I think if you run a preliminary poll you should maybe be more careful about how you phrase things on the post #when talking about the other ships. idk sometimes it can make you look a little weird. that's just me though #it's not that deep but. idk the posts tonight were frustrating. it's whatever #stranger things #byler

#i decided not to put nona bc altho shes obviously not actually 6 months old and demonstrates an understanding of sex. it just feels weird. #same way im not putting the 4th house or hot sauce or anything. there’s a certain type/age of character that simply hasn’t matured enough #to be considered for these polls even if you stipulate that the characters age can change to match the poll-takers #like i put gideon and harrow bc even if you’re 30 or w/e you can have a pretty good sense of whether 18 year old you would be into them #or alternatively if you’d be into 30 year old them #and if YOURE 18 but you’d wanna fuck juno zeta if you were closer to her age #does this make sense??? god im just trying to make it not weird lol #tldr some characters are simply not fuckable yet #op #tlt #tlt memes

i keep thinking abt why kangs dad is so weird around saifah, like it can't just be the asking his patients to buy him nice things thing, like maybe it'd be a point of concern but theres no actual evidence of him stealing shit and it can't be bc he just hates poor ppl bc he's never had a problem w sailom and idk, if i was a rich dude working on a political campaign i wouldn't gaf abt one of my many employees unless they specifically did something to piss me off which he didnt really so im just wondering if they have a connection we just wouldn't know since the storys mostly in kanghans and sailoms pov

#im sorry im getting so anxious waiting for ep 9 #like ik we're getting kanglom honeymoon era but also saifahs def getting arrested next week 😭 #looked at the poll and a lot of ppl think kangs dad is gonna set him up #which i get bc hes weird af but i just dont understand what he'd gain from that #besides making sailom sad and kanghan pissed off #wait. is that why hed set saifah up #bc he realized why kangs changed is bc of sailom so he wants to break em up? #hm....idk i think that might be part kf of it but i feel like theres definitely more to the story #bc i feel like name has to be involved somehow #ughhhhhh im going crazy theorizing this #friday come faster.... #dangerous romance #vinnie talks
