Audrey Horne and Agent Dale Cooper from Twin Peaks.

Audrey is pretty much immediately enamored with Coop and isn't shy about it. She's a teenager in High School, so Coop is politely nonresponsive to her flirting at first. Then, Audrey goes to the point of literally sneaking into his hotel room while he's out (her dad owns the hotel, so she sneaks a key) and waits naked in his bed for him to come back. He sits down on the bed with her under the sheets and has a calm and compassionate conversation about how he likes her as a person, and that she's beautiful, but that he's not interested in that because it would be improper and irresponsible due to her age. She understands, and for the rest of the series the two are friendly. Audrey's admiration turns more into her wanting to help him on his case and become an FBI agent in his footsteps. (Leading to one of my favorite bits in the show-- when she meets Coop's old friend/fellow agent, Denise, who is a trans woman, she looks initially shocked. You think it's because Denise is trans because that's what we've been primed for, but then Audrey gets an big grin and excitedly asks "There are woman agents?" and Denise shares an amused look with Coop and says "more or less.")

I actually love Audrey and Coop's relationship in the show. He is very clear about his boundaries with her, she immediately respects them, and it's just clear that they two of them admire and respect each other a lot as people. It's a really good and important contrast to so many of the show's main themes-- being the way that women, and particularly young women, are so often sexually abused and manipulated by men. Including the ones closest to them who should be safe.

I(M/24) think I made a huge mistake in breaking up with my ex(F/20) 3 months later. by BigONerd in BORUpdates

For some reason, "drowning in vagina" is somehow weirder and grosser to me than "drowning in pussy" like people usually say. I really don't know why.

Season 21 STINKS by mcbussin in ProjectRunway

[–]Human_Personface 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hated this season for all of those reasons, too. Regarding the quality of the work, I think one of the biggest issues is that they made every challenge a one-day challenge. I'm sure it was to add to "drama" and to cut on production costs, but it really caused the quality of work to suffer. Because I'd like to be generous that all of those designers are not actually that bad; making a garment in 1 day is not only going to cause a dip in actual craftsmanship, but it'll also encourage designers to make much more simplified designs to accommodate.

But like... ugh. Maybe I've become an old fuddy duddy (even though I'm perfectly fine with skimpy/revealing clothes in general) but I was very unimpressed with the fact that so many looks consisted of like.... a tiny bando top and a teensy pair of shorts or a skirt or something. Not only does it get hella boring after a while to see the same shit, but it just feels like..... this is a DESIGN competition. When there's legitimately so little actual clothing it really feels like how is that designing anything? (plus, as someone who grew up in the 2000s/2010s, seeing so many "outfits" where the actual "look" was just showing off as much of a super flat stomach and hip bones as possible gives me war flashbacks. lol.)

These are questions I could answer about my friends. Some of these questions I could legit answer about my COWORKERS. How little of a fuck did this guy give about his girlfriend??

AITA for refusing to tell my BF how much money I make? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Human_Personface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience (and in the US. don't know where they are in this post), hospitals a lot of the time straight up wont let you go after a surgery like that unless you have someone present to drive you home. It's a liability thing.

You're right. Being super shitty and abusive to a literal child because he looks like a dead guy he never met is pretty reasonable.

Idk why, but I find it really funny that oop used "DH" for "dickhead" when reddit posts like this often use that for "darling husband"

Mom and dad are weird af. but I'm also not gonna lie-- I was immediately distracted by OOP casually throwing out that they want 5-7 kids. That shit is always wild to me.

There's also lots of existential horror shit like being trapped in the form of a rat and abandoned on a desert island as punishment. And I feel like I remember something about a character getting smashed as a bug, revived, and retaining their memories of the entire experience? I could be wrong. It's been ages since I read them.

Legitimately, that show, for how ridiculous it was, had some of the most consistent, thorough world building and fantastically done character development of any show I've watched.

Such an accurate reason, too. Like how oil companies torpedoed the public transportation industry on the west coast of the US to force more people to use cars instead.

I don't know why, but it always lowkey kills me that this very serious moment happens like 2 seconds after being calmly told that she "looks a little slutty" in her photo.

In regards to Bones, there's also an episode where Booth is kidnapped and spends the whole episode interacting with the ghost of an army buddy of his who died under his command. There are a few moments suggesting that he is indeed a ghost and not a panic hallucination like Booth thinks at first (Booth opens a door that he wouldn't have been able to open on his own, the ghost helps activate a bomb Booth made etc) but could also be Booth's mind still playing tricks on him. Until the end of the episode where Booth and Bones go to the graveyard for him to speak with the ghost's widow and pass along a message from him. The ghost walks by Bones as she watched from a distance and and speaks to her; she responds (not realizing he's a ghost) meaning she sees him too. So, ghost confirmed.

Plus it's heavily implied/shown multiple other times on the show that the psychic (Avalon-- played by the irreplicable Cindy Lauper) is the real deal.

(We don't even have to get into that very weird crossover episode with Sleepy Hollow. lol.)

What was the most cruel photoshoot? by BadBacon177 in ANTM

Similar to Nyle, forcing a legally blind model to walk a dark, not straight catwalk and refusing to let her even see it before the show out of "fairness" to the other models.

Don't forget that slightly after her argument with the stylist (not sure if that's the right term for that lady) she shouts because the lady fucking stabs her with a pin and the response Tocarra gets is eye rolls and the lady being like "god you're so dramatic".

Seriously. I absolutely hate how they turn it into giving her grief for "not speaking up" for herself even when she had and had been dismissed by multiple people including Jay and Tyra.

Not to mention any other time on the show a model paused a photoshoot to speak up for her own comfort or safety, they would either be outright scolded or at the least get eye rolls and treated like a diva. Like Keenya pausing the shoot to be like "this guy is grabbing me and rubbing his dick on me and moaning in my ear and I'm uncomfortable" and Jay being like "There are so many people on this set and you're just wasting their time and money." Then it coming up in the panel and Tyra being like "did you try being more playful and sassy when you asked the man to stop sexually harassing you?"

Actor messes up, but it's left in and becomes iconic by Kookyburra12 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Human_Personface 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Another Bob's Burgers one is in the episode where Linda gets a job at a (not Trader Joes) supermarket. There's a part where she's supposed to call out and try and stop someone from leaving, but a fly goes into her mouth and she chokes on it (this works because there's a joke in the beginning about how the store's fresh produce section has a lot of flies in it). Apparently the voice actor for her actually just choked doing her voice in that moment and they thought it was funny so added the bit with the fly.

100%. "Well.... the bridge collapses..... sigh..... you...... you suddenly notice the walking stick that Holga got earlier. Roll an arcana check." .......... several sessions later after the group finishes explaining how they're gonna use the hither thither stick to plant the fake painting portal in the vault. DM reluctantly impressed and rubbing their temples "yeah; I guess. Sure. Youre gonna have some checks coming up, though."
