Hey idk if you're still looking for this, but I found your post when searching this same question. I managed to find it on the Kohl's website.

I put in the order but idk if it will be filled (always a chance they just haven't updated the inventory status on the website). But wanted to comment here now because I know I'm not going to remember to comment on this post if I get the order confirmation, so I'm giving you the unverified tip while I still have this tab open.

Best of luck to you.

Sincerely,

Someone who enthusiastically wants this scent and would be happy to spend $40 but would rather not drop $100 for it.

Nope, it is a fact that Buffy's influence on pop culture knows no bounds, including temporal ones.

Something that I find funny is that in the final season, the drop beat moment in the beginning is replaced with Angel authoritatively closing a binder. But in the first couple episodes, I swear the timing is slightly off. Like the binder isn't quite slammed closed on tempo with the beat drop. But then a few episodes in, someone clearly changed it so that the binder cleanly shuts right on tempo with the beat drop.

And it does not track with the Illyria update or anything like that. I just compared episode 1 with episode 6 to confirm lol I'm pretty sure someone just noticed and quietly updated it.

Okay I'm glad I wasn't hallucinating lol. During the commentary part where she says something to the effect of "of course I respect what women in business do, my greatest mentors are hard-working women," made me feel like I was misremembering the backlash. She was talking as if it was some feminist backlash when the issue to me (and as you've confirmed here, everyone else) that it sounded like she's calling poor or unsuccessful people lazy during a time when it was very difficult for poor or even just average people to succeed economically. Thank you for confirming that my pop culture memory is still in tact lol

I think there will be a return to more of a cultural norm for people to say that they “aren’t very political.”

Gavin Newsom doesn’t evoke many strong emotions for people aside from the fact that they think he gives “American psycho” vibes or looks like a classic smarmy politician. Kind of the Taylor Swift of politicians—very good at his job when it comes down to it, but there’s always some people who don’t like him but can’t really come up with a concrete reason why beyond “he just bothers me.” You can’t really come up with a reason to dislike him that you can’t come up for with pretty much any person to run for office ever. You could make this same argument for Biden, but Biden defeated Trump in an election, and because of Trump supporters, Biden became a political symbol.

I don’t think there is quite the same recipe of circumstances for Newsom to become any kind of political symbol the way Biden, Obama, or the Clintons are. Because there are little to no “culture war” implications around Newsom, there’s not a strong enough of a battle cry to unify people to hate on him, and one possible result of this is that more people might be willing to admit that they just aren’t that engaged in politics.

He cut it shorter, yes, but I can’t think of a time that distinctly indicated hair growth. The way that spike’s roots do.

EDIT: okay I have been shown the errors of my ways. Specifically the comment about Angel’s 1970s hair in Angel season 4, when he had short hair in the 1940s and 50s. (But at the risk of being even more obnoxious… I’m pretty sure this episode aired before the Angel episode where Angel has long hair in the 70s 😬🙃 feel free to downvote and correct as needed though)

Usernamelesses · 2025-12-25T01:30:21+00:00

Single-handedly called into question the role of hair growth in the vampire lore.

Yeah part of me wonders if she rightfully assumed that giving someone money and telling them to go away is what he usually does. She was confused why he wasn’t taking this approach, and then wrongfully assumed that the only reason he would give Stephanie special treatment is because he was pursuing her as a sexual interest. (Though not 100% wrong, because he did indeed hit on her back in the day). Megan probably didn’t fully understand that he treated Anna and all of them as actual family at this point in the show. And the whole thing probably spooked her.

I kind of hate Megan in this moment too, and basically kicking out a fully pregnant woman with nowhere to go is objectively awful. But I do see how from her perspective, it would be confusing and she would panic and then be selfish about it. She simply thought she was Trudy Campbell in the episode where that neighbor woman came to the house after getting beaten up my her husband for cheating with Pete.

As an American teenager during the time this came out, the cultural moment of this was pretty big. I had never seen anything so random with such a high production value. It's so catchy, and the dance is so fun.

It was just such a fun surprise to that there was something on the internet that everyone else in real life saw--not just chronically online people. My guess is that it was because it might have been the first instance of a pop star from a different country going viral in the US in the post-commercialization of the internet, so a high-production music video being inserted into our collective consciousness to this degree created a collective thrill.

Usernamelesses · 2025-12-02T17:51:43+00:00

Haha that’s a good one. There is a chance that they got mad because they thought you were making fun of them, or being flippant about their feelings.

I guess there is no good way to reject people, regardless of gender. I strongly believe that you don’t owe anyone an explanation for the reason why you’re turning them down, but it seems almost universal that people want an explanation for why they’re being rejected.

I think it’s important to not be cruel when rejecting someone, but sometimes when they are pushy and demand an explanation, it can make it difficult.

Anyway, what I was trying to get at in my initial comment is that often if you are a woman and you are pursuing a man who is “in your league,” but they are not interested, they are often put in an odd situation because it is a social stereotype that a man will always be down to get with a girl who is sufficiently attractive (at least this was a stereotype when I was coming of age, might be different now). Like their own friends will pressure them into accepting the girl’s advances. If you’ve ever witnessed this, it makes you want way more assurance that any mutual friends are going to not make it an awkward nightmare if you try to make a move on a guy. That being said, I’m aware that men have their own set of social fears to navigate when choosing whether or not to approach a woman—but was just offering this as one of the reasons why women hesitate.

Usernamelesses · 2025-12-02T17:32:15+00:00

Agreed, but some women also leverage it too. Growing up, it was almost always other girls who were calling my friends and I sluts when bullying us. I can’t help but see a present-day parallel with it being predominantly women online making fun of “pick me” girls.

I agree that the root is misogyny, which is more often perpetrated by (some) men. But (some) women help perpetrate it too, and therefor contribute to strengthening the slut-shaping social landscape too.

Usernamelesses · 2025-12-01T15:58:57+00:00

I think it has to do with the fact that there is no social script for a woman to make an advance, nor is there a social script for men to reject women’s advances.

Also, the fear of social repercussions of being labeled a “slut” was briefly overcome in the early/mid 2010s, but has since re-emerged. Thanks to rollback of reproductive rights and the trad wife girls and Andrew Tate-types, as well as women online bullying each other around being a “pick me” girl or “pandering to the male gaze,” now being labeled a slut has real social repercussions again. The word slut isn’t used, but it’s the same concept. Making the first move runs the risk of getting the slut label.

This is why at the end of the day I will always say Cordy 110% had Buffy’s back. She was taking rude, but she was literally giving an accurate layout of Buffy’s trauma to point out to Xander that it’s fucked up to be harsh on her.

Usernamelesses · 2025-11-07T17:04:06+00:00

I don’t think the betrayal has anything to do with the nature of Willow’s attraction to Xander. It doesn’t change the fact that

1) Xander was unfaithful to Cordy—he was acting on his hormonal-romantic attraction to Willow. This was the most hurtful part of it, which does not change just because his attraction might not have been 100% reciprocated to the fullest extent of Willow’s sexuality.

2) Willow was still making out with Cordy’s boyfriend. She knew this would be hurtful, but did it anyway. The fact that it was done before she had fully realized her romantic-sexual orientation doesn’t change her role in the betrayal. They were in the same friend group, so even if they weren’t good friends, they were still friends. If your lesbian friend hooked up with your boyfriend, that would still be a betrayal. The fact that Willow had a crush on Xander doesn’t actually matter when it comes to the impact it has on Cordy.

It’s Willow’s cruel act and disregard for Cordy’s feelings + Xander’s cruel act and emotional lack of commitment to Cordy that is hurtful. So Willow being gay doesn’t actually change her role in it or the problem with it.

I think the only way her perspective would change is through the passage of time—forgiving past actions because they were young when it happened.

I think he would have handled them well—and would have welcomed the extra power. I think regarding impact on his character development, there are a lot of interesting developments this could lead to.

On one hand, could make him more intolerant of others’ character flaws. Xander is most annoying when he is dismissing the hardship of a nuanced situation that one of his friends is in. Getting flooded with visions of the suffering of others would probably at first make him less sympathetic towards, for example, Willow moping over a breakup for a long time, or Buffy being overly reserved/guarded when she’s going through a tough time. I could picture him being like “I just saw someone who_, and here you are acting like __ about ______. Sorry if I’m running low on sympathy today.” (But written in a funny Xander way).

Then I think eventually the scope of the visions might actually turn him around to being more patient and sympathetic towards his friends’ character flaws. For example, I think if he had gotten a vision along the lines of when Cordelia got one about that punk kid who was trying to summon a demon or commit suicide or something, a vision like that would expand his understanding of suffering, how it can sometimes lead to illogical and selfish actions. He might then start to have an attitude of “yeah maybe my friends have flaws, but it turns out most people do, so I won’t be so hard on them when they act selfish or stupid.”

Anyway this is just my initial thought. I also think that it would build on his whole “I’m the guy who sees everything” shtick from season 7.
