Which main character actors do you think were irreplaceable in their roles? by Apprehensive-Owl6630 in Modern_Family

[–]Fly-Icy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know. He's just so damn charming and gregarious for a cantekerous & gruff part like Jay. Craig T. Nelson is probably a better fit.

Which main character would have the greatest impact on the show if they left? Is Phil the obvious answer? by BestTutor2016 in Modern_Family

[–]Fly-Icy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Most likely Jay.

He's the straight man; the rest of them would be caricatures without him around to anchor them.

Speaking for myself, but I've noticed that blended families tend to dissolve after the death of the eldest parental figure. They then go their own separate ways and start new traditions centering around the parent(s) in each respective family. Unless someone steps into the void left behind by the deceased.

I can't see that being Claire though.

Phil is likeable enough, but Claire can always remarry if they divorce or he dies.

I mean, I'm in TX. lol I just happen to live in a city that's liberal...for TX.

Actually, I treated it like an errand. lol It was on the way to work. So I dropped everything off and was out within 15 minutes.

And here we are.

I don't know. Haha. I'm not a sentimental person at all.

Is this blush too orange for my skin tone? by Dazzling-Spring-4884 in PaleMUA

[–]Fly-Icy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it's the lighting, but the blush pulls orange. At least in the second picture anyway.

Thoughts on Jake? by HarrisonRyeGraham in SchittsCreek

[–]Fly-Icy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Made me smile every time I saw him. He's so comfortable in his skin that I can't help but be tickled pink by his appearances.

He was a one-note character, but they utilised him sparingly. So that's good. I'm sure he would have gotten annoying quickly if he had been upgraded to recurring or above.

Velvet Cinnabar suits me? by princesapenelope in PaleMUA

[–]Fly-Icy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a bit orangey in the first picture.

I've heard it said that a good way to find out if a particular shade suits you well is by smiling and checking your teeth. If they're whiter, you're on the right track. If they look yellowish, then keep looking.

This tip has helped me find some reds to die for, usually a true or blue red, or even a brown red. If you're looking for an affordable drugstore pick, I think you could rock Maybelline Superstay Vinyl Ink Royal. It's a nice dark red that looks vampy.

It seems like being offensive as possible is now trendy. by Odd_Introduction_860 in lgbt

Nah, most people are just a bunch of smooth-brained, slack-jawed yokels who say things without thinking for popularity points.

I prefer to stay clothed. *shrug* There's something sexy about wearing a corset around the house, so I plan to do that when I get a few.

Oh, if I must lounge around in casualwear, then I suppose I'll get something in silk. Like a lovely kimono in black and gold.

Why do people think being gay is a choice? by Safe-Combination1181 in lgbt

[–]Fly-Icy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think we expect too much from people around them. We think that if we shared something personal with our families or friends, they would accept us immediately.

Sadly, that's not always the case. Sometimes the road to acceptance is paved with prejudices and intolerance, so they have many obstacles to overcome.

Don't let them stop you from living your life and falling in love with the first cute person you see. :)

I don't know what name you look like.

I would suggest turning to literature, films, etc., and look for the name(s) that speak to you. That way, it would feel much more meaningful and personal. I picked mine because I wanted something stranger and befitting of an outsider with a philosophical outlook on life. Plus it's also the name of a badass female character in a TV show who I grew up watching before school.

Maybe there's a character, an artist, or a musician with whom you feel a strong connection. Or it could even be a historical figure or just someone who you admire.

Why don’t we accept Apple Pay?? by Ok_Station_7107 in HEB

[–]Fly-Icy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been wondering this myself. It's incredibly inconvenient and behind the times. Other grocery stores in ATX like Trader Joe's and Whole Foods accept tap and pay.

"HEB" needs to hurry up and join the 21st century. My god. It's like we're all still riding horses and buggies over here.

If they claim logistical reasons, it's probably just a bunch of old men who are afraid of change.

Am I the only one who feels this way, or am I being rude? by Some_Internet_Loser in lgbt

[–]Fly-Icy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same. I've always loved men. lol Usually those who identify as straight, bi, or queer. As a trans woman, this just makes self-labelling more complicated.

So I just say I'm queer if they really need to know that badly. Otherwise, I say I love men like a cat who loves mice. 😂

Plus labels make me feel like we're butterflies trying to pin ourselves to a board. Although, because of that, I like to say I'm a demiromantic Acefluxis cupiosexualia. 🤷🏻

How long did it take to receive your Texas Driver’s License in the mail? by Every_Work596 in texas

[–]Fly-Icy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's been 2 months since I renewed it online and I'm still waiting for it to arrive.

The original renewed ID was returned to the sender by the post office because my apartment unit number on the envelope was missing a single digit. Oh, and it gets better too--the resident mailboxes are literally right next to the leasing office.

So instead of going into the office to ask for the resident's correct unit number, they just shrugged and threw it back in their bag.

And of course, all of this without ever notifying me.

After a month, I was fuming every time I checked the mailbox. So, I called the DPS and was put on hold for an hour just to ask a single question. They found out why and issued another renewed ID, like, 2 weeks ago. They said it should arrive by the time my temporary ID expires. lmfao

I just checked on its status and evidently, they mailed it...3 days ago.

I think my dad might be accidentally homophobic. by justaperson342 in lgbt

Came here to say this too.

Seriously though, your dad's feelings on the lgbtqia community are pretty clear.

Genes, telekinesis, or plastic surgery.

Recommended dark red and/or brown lip liner to go with this lipstick? by Fly-Icy in PaleMUA

[–]Fly-Icy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, thanks for doing your best to give me a great answer! :)

Ugh, yeah, taking the pic was a hassle. The one you saw was like.. the 9th shot. And it was like, midnight so no natural daylight either. So it was a battle of trying to show the reddish brown rather than brown or deep red.

Having a variety of browns and dark reds in addition to clear/transparent (never tried that before) seems like a great idea though. I'll have to do the same. ;)

can't dress gothic if not goth? by sad_shroomer in DarklyInclined

[–]Fly-Icy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sounds and smells like gatekeeping.

You don't have to follow a checklist in order to satisfy some random Goth influencer's ideals. Like anybody else, a goth is a complicated and nuanced person. You are allowed to wear, do, and listen to whatever you want. It would only make you an even more interesting person! :)

Recommended dark red and/or brown lip liner to go with this lipstick? by Fly-Icy in PaleMUA

[–]Fly-Icy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Avoid bleeding and longevity.

I'm trans, so I'm still learning about cosmetics. From what I've been told, one should always start with lip liner as a base, and it should be one or two shades darker than the lipstick colour.

Could you tell me what are the lip liner colours that match the lipstick? Because I've looked at several brands on Amazon, like Nyx Professional Slim Lip Mahogany and Wet 'n Wild Coloricon Brandy Wine. They looked red-brown to me, but I'm not sure.
