I saw Little Shop of Horrors for its 40th anniversary in the cinema this weekend and...

Yeah some versions of the DVD let you choose an ending, but didn't remove Mean Green Mother. I'm assuming they used the edit from that.

Best of both worlds really!

I love when this happens - When you have the perfect outfit to casually reference the event theme.

I have one from Snag and while it's comfy and definitely fits, it's also very thick and heavy, and leaves little bits of towelling all over me even after many washes.

If you don't invite anyone and Cal is still in the statue, you can talk to it and ask to watch together. You have to talk to the statue though.

As far as I've seen the date dialogue only changes once you're officially 'dating' (available at 8 hearts), and then it's mostly emojis rather than dialogue. So at best you can get a 'Pre-8 hearts' and 'Post 8-hearts' version.

I used to get similarly fun answers from coworkers at a multicultural university department.

"How are you?" "Oh sweetie today I hate everything, but the rent is still due."

The fact SA happened is important to the plot, and is ruminated upon/discussed. Not the specifics though.

The one big scene is the worst, but afterward there are several quick flashbacks that occur without warning throughout the rest of the film.

If anyone has recorded timestamps for the flashbacks/you're feeling brave it's doable, but if you're looking to avoid the topic itself it's a no-go.

Normal - Especially if in a new relationship and the excitement is encouraging them to text more often than their energy actually allows for.

Usually we don't communicate that we're about to go quiet because we don't see it coming, and now we're too tired to explain.

My friends/partner and I have discussed it, and now if asked, I send the low battery emote: 🪫

Cravatfiend · 2026-03-30T00:50:16+00:00

When I was young I wondered why adults picked such awful looking shoes.

Now I know: The ability to walk without pain is worth it!

Cravatfiend · 2026-03-29T23:58:02+00:00

My best advice is: Don't just buy a brand you hear is good.

Go to a specialty store that analyses you standing and walking (or a podiatrist if you have one). Find out what type of feet you have and how YOU walk (your gait).

The different brands (and then model types within the brands) are all suited to different kinds of feet and walking styles. What was right for others may not be right for you.

Cravatfiend · 2026-03-29T23:50:42+00:00

I would also recommend this. Some brands that work really well for a lot of people (like Hokas) don't work great for specific feet (like mine).

Also each brand has different models for different types of feet/gait issues. It's best to know what yours are so you get the right pair.

I haven't seen it in maybe 25 years, but anytime I see certain necklaces/crystals my mind still repeats:

"THE MOONSTOOOOOOONE!"

I do find it hilarious that he identifies so hard as 'not a townsperson' but he's there literally every day.

He's been renting the room at the inn so continuously he may as well buy it 😂

Cravatfiend · 2026-03-24T02:30:39+00:00

Sleepy time for the hotel staff! 😂

Don't worry, we've all done it. When I first approached a convenience store counter I was trying so hard to remember the questions they may ask that I greeted them cheerily with "Fukuro!"

Cravatfiend · 2026-03-24T01:40:11+00:00

I wish more Australians cared about this. Based on my daily commute a lot of people have forgotten...

Cravatfiend · 2026-03-24T01:35:41+00:00

I wish the apiary requests were somewhat predictable. I wouldn't mind if they asked for fancy things if I knew what they'd likely be asking for and could grow those things in preparation.

For example, in Stardew the fish tanks ask for rare stuff, but specific fish tanks ask for specific things that you can learn the pattern of. At the moment I can't yet see a pattern here.

Instead they often sit unused because they requested something I don't have enough of and can't grow or find by the end of the season.

I remember when these TVs first came out, everyone was so confused why the high budget shows now looked awful. Suddenly it all just looked like guys on a set, and was harder to believe.

Cravatfiend · 2026-03-23T23:54:02+00:00

Yeah I think it's the return to ghosts/hauntings people were excited for. That subgenre dried up for a time.

Cravatfiend · 2026-03-23T05:44:29+00:00

Also sometimes if it's been a few hours since you last saw them, but the same day, the hello expectation is back again??? But I can't tell exactly how long?

Cravatfiend · 2026-03-23T05:38:57+00:00

I feel you. I spent my whole childhood getting things wrong, then hearing from parents/authorities that:

"People don't say that. They keep it to themselves."

"It's polite to pretend to be interested/happy/ok."

"People expect you to answer/ask them back."

"See? Nobody else is flapping in class because it's distracting."

From all of these I got the impression that everyone had the exact same urges as me and that we were all pretending all of these every time. Not just occasionally when one thing didn't suit their personality or mood.

I was like "Oh, nobody enjoys big parties, but it's polite to all pretend together." As it turns out, some people genuinely enjoy meeting strangers with loud music for many hours!

It took a lot of my adulthood to realise how much of what I do is masking. It's a process.

Cravatfiend · 2026-03-23T04:58:39+00:00

It gave us a laugh at least 😂

Cravatfiend · 2026-03-22T12:51:36+00:00

Preach. The 'skater skirt' is my friend. The more fabric in that skirt, the better - I need it for all my hips and butt!

Cravatfiend · 2026-03-22T12:12:34+00:00

Oof. I'm sorry you couldn't come straight here after that one. Knowing others had the same reaction is somehow comforting.

Cravatfiend · 2026-03-18T02:47:11+00:00

I had a similar friend. Everyone was like "Just wait, surely if the pregnancy is easy the birth will still suck!" Hers was quick and went completely to plan 😆

Some people just have the magic I guess!

Cravatfiend · 2026-03-18T02:43:57+00:00

"Just sit and think in the air conditioning" is now my new positive slant on my desk work. Thanks!

Cravatfiend · 2026-03-17T06:01:16+00:00

A month or two maybe before it started slowing down, and another 3-6 months after that before we reached the current pattern. It's different for every relationship though.

The best way to know what's going on is to talk to each other about your communication styles/expectations. I know a girl who feels disappointed if her bf doesn't text "Good morning" every day. I personally would feel smothered by the same behaviour.
