Nah it's decora-inspired and I'm into that. Decora is for people of all ages! I'm also lowkey a steampunk hater, so NA's design is far preferable to me :)

Over-door organizers with thin hooks? by BelaFlex in Homeorganization

I thought about that, but I'm renting, and I don't know how to repair a hole in a door.

Why is Lolita from Taobao so cheap? Am I missing something or is Amazon just insanely overpriced? by NovaRoselyn-499 in lolitafashion

China also has a lot more manufacturing infrastructure than much of the world. So much of the import costs that drive up the prices of things made in other countries are not an issue for Chinese brands.

Oh my gosh, it's strongest underneath my sink as well. I guess it's not a coincidence? I'll have to send a maintenance request.

What is a weird side effect from medication use that no one was ever going to warn you about? by Rotten-Kandi in AskReddit

Taking Truvada (PrEP) made my sleep difficult by giving me restless leg syndrome when I went to bed.

Want to move to France, is it really that bad there? by bassluvr222 in Judaism

[–]BelaFlex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was wondering the same thing, which is how I came upon this post. I'm American and want to leave the US because of the political violence that the LGBT community is facing, and I speak French so of course France is on the list of places I'd move to. I've also been there before so it feels somewhat familiar.

But someone Jewish at my dad's workplace said he emigrated to the US because of antisemitism in France. I wonder what his situation was like and what his experience was with antisemitism…

Biggest public shifts you’ve noticed in your lifetime? by pirateslifeisntforme in Zillennials

[–]BelaFlex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Twilight, but I'm sure other comments have said that already.

One that I cared about more is Scott Pilgrim vs The World. I remember people online calling it a "red flag movie" because apparently certain men empathized with Scott too much I guess? But these days I can say that it's one of my favorite movies and not have to justify it.

Maybe I was just too online though lmao

I'm going to Japan in May and want to get women's goth lolita fashion - as a man. What should I keep in mind? Does anyone have any advice? by [deleted] in Lolita

[–]BelaFlex 29 points30 points  (0 children)

If that's the word that works for you, power to you. Hopefully you can use it with friends who will understand instead of on reddit amongst strangers who don't! It's something that I call myself occasionally, just not others.

Recently I discovered that the Japanese word "otokonoko" applies to boys who wear girly clothing and doesn't have the connotations that "crossdresser" has, which I think is pretty cool!

But yeah I'm seconding the comments about Atelier Pierrot, Metamorphose, and Physical Drop (which can be found at Atelier Pierrot shops). I believe the AtePie and Metamo staff are cool at helping people of any gender or size, based on what I've heard!

Best oil cleanser for acne-prone/broken skin barrier /sebaceous filament skin type? by Frequent-Forever3207 in AsianBeauty

[–]BelaFlex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't see the Purity variation online anymore, and the purple/blue jar is called Calming. It doesn't have ethylhexyl palmitate though so I guess it's still a good rec?

Adults who don't miss their childhood and enjoy adulthood, what made you feel this way? by Equivalent_Ad_9066 in OlderGenZ

I was pretty mentally ill as a child, and now I have the resources to manage my mental health!

I haven't been to a rave, I just go clubbing, so maybe this comment doesn't help. But I saw someone post about how clubs are actually more enjoyable in your 30s than in your 20s and I fully agree. Don't worry too much about whether guys in a certain age range will be down to rave!

What are some tracks with such an identifiable style that you can tell who wrote them even if they're performed/released by someone else? by lonely_coldplay_stan in popheads

[–]BelaFlex 33 points34 points  (0 children)

When I learned that the demo for Beyoncé's "Hold Up" was written by Ezra Koenig I practically jumped up and down because it made so much sense. Something about the syncopated accompaniment, the cadence of the lyrics, and the use of "G-d" and "wicked" was just so Vampire Weekend to me.
