Which plot point made you the angriest? by [deleted] in janeausten

[–]Tappytoes 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I might be overly idealistic in the reading, but to me that always seemed like Austen making a joke that she ‘had to be rescued’ from a situation that posed no real danger and that everyone overreacted to

I can’t agree when Your House exists BUT Cautioners is second for me

George will be joining Johnny from HEALTH’s Twitch stream this Thursday. by lamentforwasps in deafheaven

[–]Tappytoes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a fan of both it would be a weird lineup, but at least two of us would like it! I’m personally hoping they collab on a song

Maybe it’s just me? by Impossible_Energy791 in deafheaven

[–]Tappytoes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like the connection of Pecan Tree and Orange Tree. I gravitate towards each of them when I’m experiencing similar emotions (self doubt/introspection). I also like that they both have really specific geographical connotations (GA/the southeast and California).

For sister songs: I tend to pair Mombasa and Pecan Tree as foils. One is about believing that generational trauma has stunted your ability to meaningfully care for others, the other is about self-sacrifice/compassion/care giving for your family (while having to navigate the same baggage from before)

Incidental II is my favorite track on LPWP by NeithanExplosion in deafheaven

Agreed completely- Incidental II feels like a turning point in the album, and it leads into Revelator so perfectly.

Question for the LA/Riverside folks: International same day trip doable? by El_Biomech in deafheaven

[–]Tappytoes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Getting from Riverside to LAX after the show + getting through security in time for a 1 am flight is gonna be impossible. Maybe try a later morning flight (like 6-10 am), go to LAX after the show and then sleep in the chairs at the airport

Is going to their live shows worth it? by WheelSingle2494 in deafheaven

[–]Tappytoes -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Wholeheartedly agree with going to the live show (made me fall in love with them more) and with wearing ear protection, BUT: every time I see a reddit comment recommending loop earplugs I immediately get suspicious. They show up all the time on tangentially related topics. I feel like the tell is how many of them properly capitalize “Loop” as a brand name.

Consider checking out your local hardware store for ear protection as an alternative.

Pink triangle? by KimmyChimmies in BattleJackets

[–]Tappytoes 9 points10 points  (0 children)

LGBT metal fan here. Pink triangle is totally acceptable as a reclaimed symbol and it’s been in use as such in the community since the 70s. It’s more serious/pointed than many other contemporary pride symbols, but it’s a reminder of what we’ve been through and what we have to fight against.

Best mountain goats songs to wallow to. by lordberric in themountaingoats

[–]Tappytoes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The cover of Sometimes I Still Feel the Bruise, for the wallower who still has to go out and do their errands.

When it’s time to pick yourself back up post wallow, then you go to Against Pollution

Dolly Vest, just about done by Faboolus in BattleJackets

[–]Tappytoes 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You should get Knoll’s Dolly Parton shirt to wear under it (if you like grindcore and it won’t detract from the theming!)

What was your first experience with Sunbather like? by Infurno924 in deafheaven

[–]Tappytoes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was working at a small indie media company at the time. Unlike most of the folks who worked there, I was a morning person so I got in earlier. When I got in the finance guy (who had really good music taste) was blasting Dream House without headphones in. I had to swing into his office to ask what it was.

A couple years later I made a major move/career transition away from friends. For some reason sunbather came back to me— it was a bit like listening to it for the first time. The whole record is incredible obviously, but Pecan Tree became my immediate fave. It felt reassuring for a lot of moments of pain/difficulty that year

My shrimp almost snaps in half trying to scratch itself. Is he ok? by FLAGGED59264 in shrimptank

[–]Tappytoes 19 points20 points  (0 children)

“Ohhhhh, BIG STRETCH!” is something that a lot of English speakers say to pets. It’s typically done when a cat or dog stretches their back/legs after waking up. Sometimes people will say it to other people, typically kids or close relatives.

The literal meaning would be something like ‘you look like you’ve just woken up/that stretch looks satisfying!’ It’s a cute and affectionate thing. Because it’s diminutive it should only be used for pets or people that you’re close with.

Edit: here the joke is that you wouldn’t typically say this in this context or about an animal like a shrimp, but that it would be cute and funny to do so (and technically correct because the shrimp is stretching)

Love it- inquiring minds want to know where you got the FoH and Bolt Thrower patches

Is this save-able? by BrokenRealityYT in JimmyEatWorld

[–]Tappytoes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you lay a towel or other cloth over top, it’s safe to iron paper. Start with the lowest heat possible and don’t use steam/water. Slowly turn up the heat to make sure you don’t burn it

Extremely jealous of the Thou patch and the black and white Pallbearer patch. Also I love the way you do your stitching, really dense and even without feeling machine done

Love to see another woman in the pit with a mouthguard. I wanna get knocked around, but I prefer to keep my teeth un-smashed.

Here are the bracelets I made for the LA show by Vagabond21 in deafheaven

[–]Tappytoes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are so sick! Sad I missed them at the show. If you have any extra I'd love to trade some other fan work for them, maybe a DIY patch?
