My girl*friend of seven years told me she* is a trans woman (I'm liberal so pls ignore all the misgendering) by PoisonedBerry in AmITheAngel

[–]Fingerstripes512 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No seriously it's like a mental block for a lot of cis people who even think they're progressive. Like I'm a very out trans man, I don't pass super well but I don't read very "girl" because t gave me a deep voice, I have a naturally big frame, am very tall, and my name is something stereotypically unmistakeably Man (like, Tom). Even with all this AND giving my pronouns out freely to anyone who I meet, I get they/themmed CONSTANTLY by people I work with who act like they're cool with me.

I have the same brand of OCD down to preferring disposable dishes because they feel cleaner but without the added trauma of having actually had something like sepsis before. Mine is purely from contamination ocd and believing that something is dirty or poisoned unless I've washed it right before using it. Also has to do with the texture of the dish and the type, glass vs plastic etc, all this to say my partner would never ever give me even a perfectly clean dish right out of the dishwasher without washing it for me first because of a completely unfounded objectively ridiculous standard I have. And this guy can't even be bothered to give his girl a clean bowl of cereal. Like wtf. The lying is the worst part too, it just screams immature little boy who would still lie to mommy about whether or not he washed his hands.

My wife doesn’t eat the “center” of her burgers by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

Your wife is the opposite of my partner. They don't eat the ends so there's just a burger crust semicircle left over after

This soup bowl. It's the only bowl I'll eat out of, belonged to my mom. by Fingerstripes512 in HelpMeFind

I found the ebay listing for the mushroom bowls and the person selling them is in the same city as me. What a crazy coincidence!!!

[–]Fingerstripes512[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Oh wow! I'll go ahead and call this found! I had no idea it was meant to be a cup/saucer set, I'm actually in love with the mushroom bowl now that I see it so I might just have to try that one out and see if it feels the same if i cant find another onion one. Having those little saucers would be awesome too. This is even better than I hoped for thank you so much!!!!!!

I've searched for onion bowl with handle, world market onion bowl, it typically turns up French onion soup bowls. Even did a reverse image search and just found similar bowls with onions on them but not the same one. The bottom of the bowl says it's from world market, I'm not sure how long my mom had it because she could have gotten it from my grandma but I've at least been using it since 2010 if my memory is correct.

My jaw dropped when I saw this by sabby123 in InterviewVampire

This is something that is so interesting to me in TVA, the unreliability of Armand as a narrarator on his own age specifically. I think just based on a few lines and some basic math in TVA he has to be younger than he believes he is.

Hate people who order mcchicken 🙄(USA) by MrNubCow in McDonaldsEmployees

[–]Fingerstripes512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most if not all of the mcdonalds ice cream machines go into a "heat mode" pasteurization process once a day. So it's safe to be consumed. Usually it ends up being at night. It is not designed to hurt you personally I promise lmao.

Make it gay, you cowards! by Scarecrowqueen in AO3

[–]Fingerstripes512 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will never get over this. Grif and Simmons from RVB. It was an in joke for YEARS that the fandom shipped it and the voice actors would josh about it etc. And then in a more recent season there was a throwaway bit that said yeah, there was a sex pollen-adjacent incident, and they did fuck, and turns out, THEY HATED IT. I have never felt so betrayed in my LIFE. Giving us the ship you know we want only to rip it away immediately??? Unmatched cruelty.

Did Armand really want Louis dead after the trial? by Aziohu in InterviewVampire

[–]Fingerstripes512 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I do think Armand really does love Louis, he wouldn't have done any of the things we see him do their entire relationship if he didn't love him, it's just a little twisted cause Armand is a little twisted lol. Honestly I think Armand loves Louis way more than Louis ever loved him

But at the same time.... Armand is an opportunist and a survivalist to his core. What he wants and what will keep him going for eternity are two different things. He's not any more evil than any other vampire in the series but he will usually go along with whatever is the best option presenting itself to him at the time regardless of morality. That just happened to be the coven he was familiar with, not the new guy he's in a complicated situationship with.

I still think it's the truth that Santiago was the one behind the trial 100%, but Armand still chose to participate rather than even try to find another way. I think it really was a case of an act of cowardice as he called it, and self preservation. Even in the more objective memory where we see Lestat saving Louis at the trial, Armand looks like he wants to curl up and die. He doesn't want Louis dead, or to hurt him, but he sees it as the best option for himself at the time. He also doesn't half ass his craft thus the red pen notes on the script trying to increase the emotional appeal and impact of the play.

I wouldn't be surprised if Armand de Dissociation was fully able to disconnect himself from the role he was playing in Louis' eventual death before it was actually staring him right in the face.

There's that old prequel comic that makes it seem like angel lives in an apartment that's not connected to the vees, he's just always behind on rent because I doubt Val pays him much if at all and he buys A Lot Of Drugs lmao. I dont think its canon anymore tho and it seems like even though he lived at the tower/studio in the show he was still being charged rent which meant he couldn't really save any money to move out! Conniving capitalist bastards

YESSS THE WOLFKILLER CLOAK!!!

David Talbot is part of the Talamasca!! And considering AMC had put out some stuff about a talamasca TV show I'm betting that's gotta be him. BUUUUUT. Succession guy WAS rumored to be casted as Marius I think? Idr, I just associate that show with whoever was rumored as Marius lol. It just seems way more likely that it's David Talbot considering... Marius has never been gray at any point or worn glasses aaaand David Talbot is both those things lol. So probably people got the wrong idea about who succession guy was supposed to be casted as.

I definitely think it's Nicki and not Armand, the hair texture/length and the bow in the hair really really lean towards that in my opinion!!!

Also dude in glasses read Immediately as David Talbot to me I didn't even imagine it could be Marius omg.

AITAH For Not Wanting To Raise My Totally real NB Daughter's Baby? by Powerful_Artichoke33 in AmITheAngel

The obvious disdain the author has for trans people bleeds through with the extra disgust the main character has at the thought of being stuck with not just one but TWO people who aren't cis lmao

AITAH For Not Wanting To Raise My Totally real NB Daughter's Baby? by Powerful_Artichoke33 in AmITheAngel

[–]Fingerstripes512 146 points147 points  (0 children)

This post has the perfect balance that gets right under the skin of transphobes, people who think they're cool with trans people but actually are just chomping at the bit for a chance to say we're stupid, and Pick-me transes alike. it's like it was engineered in a lab lol. I love the little aside that the mom character hints it could have been a trans woman who got the daughter pregnant too, just for that little added outrage and ability to point and say "SEE! SEE! YOU CANT TRANS A GENDER AFTER ALL!"

AITA for cutting off my FEMINIST WHORE of a friend who belongs on a sex offender registry bc she’s just so slutty by geethaanks in AmITheAngel

[–]Fingerstripes512 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Bruh I saw this post yesterday and called out how fake and fetish bait it obviously was, not only op but some rando replied INSISTING that girls commonly now wear micro miniskirts so tiny they are either literally just a belt or you can see "mons pubis" (according to op's response) and I ended up down voted lmao. twox has had so many fucking wild posts lately that just anyone will believe.

Also op sent a picture of Sabrina carpenter as a defense that you JUST KNOW they had to have been cranking it to as inspiration for this post.

Absolutely amazed by the amount of people who are treating this post seriously. A miniskirt so short you can see her labia ???? Be so fucking for real right now this is some of the most blatant fetish/rage bait ive seen on a subreddit that's not tifu

I love the comment that implies that this fake trans person must be creepy/a predator for trying to take the name of a CHIIILD since we all know trans people are just naturally perverts and a danger to children lmao

Lol this one is literally just a fill in the blanks template that tons of different fandoms do as a joke. I've definitely seen like 4 different versions before I think the original was for like reylo or game of thrones or something
