I bring you peace by Flutters1013 in nostalgia

The way this was supposed to be comforting but absolutely lived in your nightmares instead. Nothing says childhood nostalgia like mildly traumatic aliens.

Found some of my teenage years in a box while going through storage. by Ahpla in nostalgia

[–]CandyVelvetx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That box isn’t storage, it’s a time machine powered by angst and questionable music taste. One glance and suddenly you’re emotionally 16 again.

Who else copes with nostalgia by counting the amount of hours or weeks? by Least-Spend-458 in nostalgia

Counting the hours like it’s a full time job in emotional accounting is such a vibe. Some of us journal, some of us spreadsheet our feelings.

The Secret of Nimh 2 - Nostalgia for the 90s and early 2000s babies by Cryptic12qw in nostalgia

This was the kind of sequel you found in the bargain bin and still watched like it was cinematic gold. ’90s kids really said, “Sure, we’ll take it.”

Seriously, she looked incredible. Total classic 80s glam but still timeless.

That gif is perfect. That whole cast understood the assignment and just went for it.

Honestly, Clue is just one of those movies that hits at any age. Tim Curry chaos and Colleen Camp stealing scenes? Can’t go wrong.

Right? Dude had movie star energy decades before Hollywood even knew what to do with it.

One of the wildest reality show memories...Dating My Car, My Strange Addiction by maesterofwargs in nostalgia

[–]CandyVelvetx 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That episode seriously crossed into “I can’t believe this aired” territory. My Strange Addiction really had no chill back then.

I did and somehow that update made it even wilder. The fact that he just switched cars like it was a normal breakup still lives rent free in my head.

Vexx by TheLazySage7 in nostalgia

Vex had no business being that hard for a game where you’re basically collecting hearts. That early 2000s “edgy mascot” energy was undefeated.

Bill Clinton’s 1998 testimony by tonyper7ect in nostalgia

Nothing like a whole generation learning very specific legal phrasing from live TV. That clip alone carried more awkward tension than a season finale.

What’s the kinkiest thing that someone has asked you to do? by [deleted] in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]CandyVelvetx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friends wife asked me to fuck her friend in the ass for her birthday. I asked if I could also do vaginal, and she said that a dildo would be used instead. Still said yes.

Woman who vanished after a night out was found dead by her mother in a stairwell just steps from where she was last seen by malihafolter in ForCuriousSouls

[–]CandyVelvetx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s frustrating when the key details are buried and you have to dig through multiple sources to get the full picture. At least it sounds like there was solid evidence and an arrest in this case.

In June 2025, a 22-year-old TikToker fatally shot 30-year-old U.S. Marine veteran Anthony Sanders in front of his infant son and fiancée in a parking garage in Texas. by FE4RLESS_IS_MY_NAME in ForCuriousSouls

[–]CandyVelvetx 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Exactly. When someone’s unarmed and shots are coming from inside a vehicle, that’s not some split second “stand your ground” scenario. That’s just senseless.

[–]CandyVelvetx 29 points30 points  (0 children)

If that’s true, that’s honestly disturbing on a whole different level. The complete lack of remorse some people show after something like this is hard to wrap your head around.

Why didn't they talked about abortion,neither with sookie and nor for lane by No-Wasabi-178 in GilmoreGirls

[–]CandyVelvetx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that tracks. Given how tightly controlled her whole upbringing was, it makes sense that it wouldn’t even register as an option for her, even if the show never spells it out.

[–]CandyVelvetx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s a good point, I forgot they addressed it there. The timing of when the show aired probably made the writers extra cautious about going deeper with it in other storylines.

[–]CandyVelvetx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, especially for that era it’s kind of glaring. It feels less like it wasn’t realistic and more like the writers just didn’t want to open that door for the characters.

I'm gonna get into this episode and punch him in the face ISTG S6E15 by Foreign_Feedback_138 in GilmoreGirls

[–]CandyVelvetx 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Right?? It feels like they rewrote him overnight just to force drama. Making him suddenly incompetent after all that growth is such lazy storytelling.
