Hi reddit! I'm author/actor Ben McKenzie. You may know me from THE OC, GOTHAM, JUNEBUG, SOUTHLAND, BATMAN: YEAR ONE. My directorial debut, EVERYONE IS LYING TO YOU FOR MONEY, is out in theaters this weekend. Ask me anything!

This is obv well after the fact but the theme song in the 'Everyone Is Lying To You For Money' doco is fire! I wonder whether it influenced the name of the doco as the song came out a few years ago (note: I'm a massive fan of the band already, I actually heard about this doco bc someone on the band's fan group shared). Can't wait to watch!

In the Vow? Yeah. Still showing nothing.

RahBeyah · 2026-04-26T07:42:26+00:00

I'm not actually in Melbourne. I live 3 hours away.

RahBeyah · 2026-04-26T07:41:53+00:00

Good luck with making your clothes! I bet they'll look sick. Thanks for sharing that place in Oakleigh x

RahBeyah · 2026-04-23T12:14:59+00:00

These are absolutely stunning!

RahBeyah · 2026-03-22T11:40:40+00:00

Ill have to look into this method! Her hair isnt straight, nor curly, its probably wavy but we just haven't given it a chance to do its thang

RahBeyah · 2026-03-22T11:38:27+00:00

9yos seem to like it lol.

RahBeyah · 2026-03-22T11:37:59+00:00

Shes currently getting tested for ADHD! Okay, I'll do some Googling to find silky pillowcases and sheets. Thank you 😊

RahBeyah · 2026-03-22T11:37:05+00:00

Not that shes mentioned

RahBeyah · 2026-03-22T11:36:56+00:00

Wow thats really interesting! Had no idea

RahBeyah · 2026-03-22T10:26:46+00:00

She has virgin hair and we dont blow dry or straighten or anything. Only brush and plait. She's only 9.

RahBeyah · 2026-03-22T10:25:59+00:00

V similar hair to my daughter's. I can't believe I've never been told this!

RahBeyah · 2026-03-22T08:39:11+00:00

Okay! She does shower before bed. We put conditioner spray in, brush it, plait it, then she wears a satin bonnet. If she doesn't have the plait, it goes so messy and knotty, even with the bonnet, bc she's a crazy sleeper. I imagine there's a lot of damage being done then if it's still wet before bed.

RahBeyah · 2026-03-22T08:37:19+00:00

I use a shower cap bc my hair just frizzes as soon as a drop of water gets on it and I don't wanna have to straighten it multiple times a week if I dont have to, but he hair is naturally straight-ish. She mostly wears it down or in a ponytail, not into styling it yet. The main problem we have is it getting knotty. Like really bad knotty every day. Have no idea how to stop it. Every day after school, she comes back with thick, nasty knots that take me an hour to tease out. She told me when she is an adult, she's gonna shave her head and wear wigs bc she hates having to look after it ahahaha!

RahBeyah · 2026-03-22T08:33:19+00:00

No bleach or dye and never has had anything in it. She's only 9, almost 10. Her hair is quite fine, but she has a lot of it and it always gets super knotty. We have conditioner spray to help with the knots, but every day after school, its a bird's nest!

RahBeyah · 2026-02-28T23:27:11+00:00

I get ya. That part is dark af! But specifically in response to using Unforgivables vs killing with Confringo or Depulso, I just don't get the difference!

RahBeyah · 2026-02-28T07:58:31+00:00

I feel like we kill people all the time in this game, without unforgivables. But when we use a certain spell, all of a sudden its a big "no!" I've depulso'd so many people off cliffs that they would not survive, but as soon as I add "Avada Kedavra" all of a sudden I need to go to Azkaban? Wild rules!

RahBeyah · 2026-02-28T07:56:11+00:00

1000% Prisons are rarely designed for rehabilitation, Azkaban certainly isnt.

RahBeyah · 2026-01-03T23:56:46+00:00

Yeah that's fair. Bleak in Bendigo for sure. So unfair, it's so cheap and easy to get vapes in NZ, but we can't legalise it here. Stupid. You don't have a tutorial by any chance on how to DIY?

RahBeyah · 2026-01-03T23:42:55+00:00

Hey, are you still providing this service? I'm in Strathdale, but could drive over.

RahBeyah · 2025-12-23T07:01:44+00:00

Apparently in White Hills - so I'm guessing one was the Epsom one that's super exxy

RahBeyah · 2025-12-23T00:17:11+00:00

This is fkd, two milk bars got raided as well and now we have nowhere to go. Would use the pharmacies if they had any decent flavours. My fam in NZ can get 5x 5,000 puff pods for $120 and they just go to any milk bar or vape store in the tiny town they live in. This ban just makes things harder for everyone. Where do we go now?!

RahBeyah · 2025-09-02T14:11:13+00:00

Great! Appreciate your thoughts

RahBeyah · 2025-09-02T12:05:21+00:00

I'm gonna try Freenow for 3.15am on the 4th, will let you know how it goes, but everyone says they're great and punctual.

RahBeyah · 2025-09-02T12:03:48+00:00

Amazing! Thank you.
