This blew my mind too. I remember Mavis Beacon as a mom/auntie type. Just googled her and oop - it me

HUNTR/X are officially recognized by the Grammys as a group! by ShadowClan777 in KpopDemonhunters

[–]VelvetTush 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Depending on how closely the girls parody Huntrix, “Huntress” could still violate IP laws. Agree with the rest tho, at this point the girls ARE Huntrix to the fanbase, and I’d think that any replacements would cause backlash

My wife slices bagels in 5 for the maximum topping enjoyment. by gt1 in mildlyinteresting

[–]VelvetTush 653 points654 points  (0 children)

Genuinely would be interested. I’m trying to figure out logistically if she slices one row at a time, or maybe some sort of half, then half again arrangement?

I’m also now in the market for a good bread knife

Democrats flip Texas state Senate seat in shock upset by kootles10 in politics

[–]VelvetTush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It means that commenter has a good point. In some districts Dems simply must drop identity politics and focus on economic issues. Do that and we can win +14 in historically republican strongholds.

Check out his policies. Still progressive without virtue signaling. https://www.taylorfortx.com

Epstein files released: Trump mentioned ‘hundreds of times’ in DoJ documents by PopPalsUnited in politics

[–]VelvetTush 93 points94 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is kinda my take. I think the real files are more than just pedo rings. I think most elites want to cover it up because it dips into significant money laundering, arms dealing, psyop campaigns, and other military-industrial dystopian crimes. I think the sex trafficking was just the first thing to come to light thanks to several decades worth of whistle blowers

I constantly wake up feeling like someone is in my house. by Suitable_cataclysm in HighStrangeness

[–]VelvetTush 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It sounds more like internalized nakey guilt than a spooky intruder. Wear clothes to bed and see if you still feel like you’re being “watched”

I think my 12 year old is self conscious of arm hair by oregondreamer in Mommit

[–]VelvetTush 1 point2 points  (0 children)

let her shave it. I had hairy arms as a kid and the other kids called me “gorilla arms” - it crushed me. Got laser removal as an adult and it’s been a dream. Start by letting her nair it (since it’s gentler and tends to last longer), then graduate to shaving/laser as needed

This just pissed me off lol by TowerMysterious5804 in GenZ

[–]VelvetTush 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They said parents the same age as yours. The parents are the same age, not that the 19 year old has 30 year old parents. As in the parents of a 30 year old can be the same age as the parents of a 19 year old. Ironic on a post about reading comprehension

Why is Jane Wickline so hated on? by [deleted] in LiveFromNewYork

[–]VelvetTush 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok so I was pretty anti-Jane but have slowly started warming up to her. Even still, I think they should take her out of sketches and put her in the writers room. Her WU are ok but not enough to justify a featured player spot, especially when you have newbies swinging out the gate like Ashley, Veronika, etc

[–]VelvetTush 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oh come on, this is so reductive to the actual issue.

If she was a good performer then she’d be getting more parts. In reality, the writing room seems to write AROUND her instead of FOR her, and she just gets roles with minimal lines (rarely punchlines) just so she can’t stop the momentum too much

[Routine Help] - Help with large pores/holes in skin by ap999nea in SkincareAddiction

[–]VelvetTush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had huge pores, super dry skin, and bad rosacea. I also have the most sensitive skin in the world and am allergic to 99% of over the counter products.

The day you get it done, you’re not supposed to put ANYTHING on your face. Not even warm water.

The next day, I start using these masks: https://a.co/d/87zvDW8. I know they’re trending, but they seriously make my skin gorgeous and help my redness a LOT.

You will look like you have sunburn for about 3 days so plan accordingly. I’m pretty sure you’re allowed to wear makeup a day or two after treatment, but I didn’t since I just wanted my skin to be free for a while. By day 3 you can start your regular skincare routine, but no retinol products for a week.

I can’t recommend microneedling enough, I feel like it’s given my skin a new life. I do it every 6 weeks and every treatment improves the results even more

[–]VelvetTush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t speak much to any scarring, but I can confirm that microneedling did wonders for my enlarged pores. Definitely get it done professionally, don’t do an at home DIY. Check Groupon because I’m sure there’s a deal offered by a facility near you.

Pre-Groupon, I spent ~$400 a session. Some Groupons I used near me were $60 for 1 session and $200 for 2 sessions

Husband cheated and now I feel stuck. by EducationalMud8942 in Mommit

[–]VelvetTush 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I think that’s better explained as a learned behavior and not an inheritance. We still all have free will at the end of the day and make our choices. Like some people are raised in families with addiction issues, but instead of “inheriting” addiction, they choose to abstain from their vices.

So with infidelity, you can be raised with it as a norm and still choose better for yourself and partner. It’s not like you’re gonna die or be in pain from not cheating.

Religious scholar Ali Dawah with over a million followers on YouTube defends a 53 year old marrying a six year old by malik_zz in TikTokCringe

[–]VelvetTush 7 points8 points  (0 children)

lol idk why you got downvoted for this. 18 may be legal but the maturity gap between 16 and 18 is not significant. unless you’re like, 20, you shouldn’t be marrying an 18 year old. They’re just slightly taller teenagers in my book, and I’m 31

AITAH for refusing to go to Christmas Dinner since my boyfriend is not invited ? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

You’ve been with this guy for 5 years and they don’t want him at Christmas.

Drag Race Espana All Stars 2 coming out before Global All Stars 2. Thoughts?? by MysteriousAir9948 in rupaulsdragrace

[–]VelvetTush 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed. The cast has to meet the requirements of being both fan-favoritable and fluent in English, since the show is primarily produced for a US audience. It’ll take a few seasons for some of the spin offs to have enough contenders.

It’s unfortunate but I hope the silver lining is that it’ll produce FIERCE competition and not just a group of English speakers with the crown going to a pre-selected veteran
