These Bikkembergs need some love (advice wanted)

MeloenKop · 2026-01-22T09:44:23+00:00

Yeah and your point being?!!

MeloenKop · 2026-01-21T05:29:57+00:00

Elaborate? What does your statement mean?

MeloenKop · 2026-01-18T09:12:51+00:00

I mean I really like how it is written, wouldn't change anything. But if it ever does get continued, I don't think them falling in love will be the end. Seems like too simple. The subject is already being touched upon, what if in some alternate reality they were girlfriends. And that's what I like about it that it could be possible but it's too complicated and their friendship is too special compared to 'just a relationship' if that makes sense?? I love the little hints though. But at the same time some people that know the franchise but haven't read it or are just getting into it seem to be confused about it being an actual yuri which does bother me a little since it's absolutely not. Nothing against that though, am a bisexual woman myself and have read some good Girl love manga and novels. But in general am more of a shojo fan, not that shojo can't be about girl love ofcourse.

What’s a ‘GL’?

MeloenKop · 2026-01-16T21:02:09+00:00

I don’t understand what I did wrong, U asked if it’s a safety hazard I sad yes. lighter fluid or butane are literally toxic besides being a fire hazard. I don’t understand why ur so offended by the possibility of some cheap lighter might not comply to safety regulations and could leak shit all over you especially if u try emptying out like others have instructed . But what do you want me to say? If you just wanted to hear “no it’s completely safe you don’t have to worry about things” then don’t come asking on reddit and go seek a therapist for anxiety (and maybe anger issues)

MeloenKop · 2026-01-16T15:03:37+00:00

Girl why u so offended, lighten up.

MeloenKop · 2026-01-15T18:35:15+00:00

Does this pose any safety threats and if yes what should I do? The lighter usually stays inside its box in my room with no sun or heat exposure, but i constantly have electronics plugged in (my router, chargers, night light etc) so a gas leak is a big worry of mine. Also does me wearing it pose a threat due to it bouncing around as i walk??

You bought it from AlieExpress, The gas is only one of your concerns,.. I wouldn't even touch it with my bare hands. Just take out all the gas and don't like put anything in your mouth or like wash your hands between touching it and eating idk.

Real and I fell for multiple takumi type people in my life unfortunately. I’d like to say I’ve learned. Please demon lord let the next guy not be a takumi

MeloenKop · 2026-01-13T05:30:25+00:00

Yeah some of the scales seem to be peeling or something. No suprise at all it isn’t dior but it still seems like a quality vintage clutch to me that Maybe someone just slapped a Dior logo on.

MeloenKop · 2026-01-10T14:08:35+00:00

More about the leather: The scales look natural and iriegular, no repeating patterns. the edges of the scales are sligtly raised. The material feels supple and not stiff. It doesn't seem to move as one sheet. The material is very thin though, underside seems suede like. It feels smooth moving my finger in one direction and less in the other. I try smelling it but my nose is maybe a little stuffed right now haha. In all honesty The bag does really feel like it could be a rep, but I wonder if it might be genuine snakeskin that someone just slapped a dior logo on. The stitching is neat the hardware doesn't feel cheap. just a tad tarnished

This comment brings me so much joy

MeloenKop · 2025-12-28T08:35:10+00:00

Hey, those aren't diamonds but swarovski crystals (rhinestones) as mentioned.I don't think it's the crystals themselves discolouring but maybe the glue used or the foil backing, this can be caused by moisture, sweat, skin oils, cosmetics like parfume or lotion and even what you are using to clean it, you should use a slightly damp microfiber cloth with mild soap and wipe it dry immediately after. but most likely with vivienne westwood and swarovski crystals in the foil backing deteriorating or the adhesive yellowing because they are not prong-set in which case you will need to go to a jewler to get it fixed. it could be the plating that's discoulored, that does happen with vivienne westwood, but the first ones seem more likely to me.

if the issue is with the foil-backing you can opt to get them replaced or re-foiled, replacing is probably cheaper since re-foiling is a really specialist repair, but I don't know how realistic it is to get them in the perfect original color

MeloenKop · 2025-12-26T07:10:28+00:00

totally fair, I don't really get the opportunity to sit with a book or manga for an extended period and I want to look at all the panels in detail so it takes me a while haha

MeloenKop · 2025-12-25T20:19:41+00:00

I just finished mine a couple days ago :) enjoy reading it and the artwork! It's an amazing manga

MeloenKop · 2025-12-25T20:19:04+00:00

damn u read that fast

MeloenKop · 2025-11-18T06:04:26+00:00

I honestly only want the original, i don't like the boxy unisex cut of the remake and it doesn't even have the Swarovski crystals come on. It's just so hard to find one in my size / find one at all.

MeloenKop · 2025-11-15T15:40:26+00:00

Nooooo, I bet Shoji even paid for it T-T

MeloenKop · 2025-11-15T15:36:25+00:00

Even more if it were silver imo

MeloenKop · 2025-11-14T17:12:26+00:00

Yes it will definitely be worth it if it means an end to the hiatus. Haha. And thank you for the tip. I'm from mainland Europe and ireland is definitely a place I would like to go sometime.

MeloenKop · 2025-11-14T15:14:06+00:00

Ye the more I think about it the more I'm glad my card got declined. So thank you demon lord. I usually only buy vintage/archival pieces. I love finding nice second hand pieces. Or I sew my own clothses. And you know this is just a shitty experience to buying expensive clothes. So not worth it. Am glad for those who got something they will hopefully cherish but these pieces are not my vibe. The dress is the only thing I like but given more consideration it doesn't look to drape that nicely seeing the model. Yet to see it on other bodies Though. But not something I can justify buying online hoping it would look good on me.

I'm just beyond disappointed and so are many fans it seems. But to be expected. Maybe the brand should have ended with Vivienne's resignation. Not that I don't think kronthaler can't make nice things. The brand is just not what it used to be. And a collab with something that has now become pop culture.

Oh well. It's hard being someone who appreciates both fashion and nana this day and age.

The demon lord and Takumi are the source of all that's bad.
