that’s the film logo from this year, saying “he mr gay”
the stars on the title of the 2007 game “super mario galaxy” are what spell out “u r mr gay” / “you are mr gay”
then the stars on the title of the sequel game in 2010, “super mario galaxy 2” spell out “u r m i a y”, which spelled backwards supposedly says “ya i m, r u?” / “yeah i am, are you?”
so idk, i think he might in fact be mr gay. we might need a film sequel to be sure, though.
the average person wouldn’t buy a new bed/mattress/wardrobe for a hostel (or even a hotel) they were staying in for a few weeks, no. buying larger furniture items like that would generally indicate to a family that OP might intend to stay longer than a few weeks.
it’s not really about the cost, but about making sure that everyone’s communicating their plans/return dates/expectations, so no one’s in for an unpleasant surprise when OP heads home.
overcommunication will at worst result in a “we know, you’ve told us all before”, while undercommunication could result in “i assumed you’d changed your mind about leaving, after you bought so many things for the house”
ahh. that’s a good bit more than someone would buy for a hostel stay, and probably more than someone would buy for a friend, too.
just be sure that you’re clearly communicating your intentions & letting everyone know that while you didn’t mind spending that money, you also don’t intend to move in & stay longer, despite your new purchases maybe indicating otherwise.
are any of these purchases wildly beyond what you might have bought to make a hostel stay more comfortable, like food/bedding/clothes/entertainment?
without more information/any red flags, it sounds like your parents are just being overly protective/suspicious.
assuming i somehow aquired Too Much Money (the centi-billionaire sorta Too Much Money), i’d give the money to land back projects, reforestation/rewilding projects, and native food forest projects, globally.
that probably still wouldn’t use up much of a centi-billionaire’s money, but i genuinely cannot grasp how much money that is… maybe get involved in politics & make it an international crime to charge money for anything that’s a human right, like housing/food/water 🤔
the vowels are different etc, but the tweet sets it up like it’s supposed to sound a li’l bit like “tossed salad and scrambled eggs”, which is part of the frasier theme tune.
it’s from parks and recreation, the characters donna & tom have an annual day where they treat themselves to various pampering and nice things.
the date wasn’t mentioned “in world”, but that episode aired on the 13th of october 2011, hence that day being picked as the official treat yourself day!
quetzalcoatlus northropi!
or sky giraffes, either/or.
the legends say that toby’s still napping now, and on a quiet night like tonight, you can hear him snoring contentedly 😌💚
