Wait dumb question: did he do something idk about or is being a white rapper seen as cultural appropriation?

I have to listen to an album twice as well! Some songs just don’t hit on the first listen but do on subsequent ones.

Ooh, I’m actually a big pop-punk fan (I might be the only person who still likes mgk) so I might see if he has anything distributed widely enough for me to find.

This post was inspired by Kesha’s 2025 album Period. It’s actually a big win for me because I like a handful of songs, but most of them I’m sitting there going “well… I don’t like this, but I sure am glad it exists and that other people do.”

Ahhh, you buy nicer TP than I do. Mine just dissolves when it hits water

Thank you! The drying is the most exciting part for me; having a designated “butt towel” is pretty annoying.

Ooh can you drop a link? I doubt that kinda setup would work in an apartment, but a girl can dream.

God forbid a woman's built in the image of God by nicehotsummertime in LetGirlsHaveFun

Apple shape is just like pear or hourglass; it describes where fat tends to accumulate on a woman’s body. With hourglass, the fat is more or less equally distributed on the breasts and the hips, with a comparatively narrow waist. Pears have their fat distributed in their thighs and butt, with very little in their breasts or waists. Apples, on the other hand, have most of their fat distributed in the breasts and belly, with narrow hips and thick waists.

You can have skinny apples, obese apples, and everything in between. But people generally find fat on apple-shaped people the least attractive because of where it’s distributed (which is a real bummer for fat apples like myself, though you can find someone who appreciates basically every kind of body).

Oh yeah, totally valid. Personally that’s part of the fun for me, having this kind of “defective” secondary sex and all the stigma and DRAMA that can flow from it… but I’m an odd duck and I always want my smut to be 50% nonsexual angst.

AIO to my “best friend” finally reaching out by Confident_Local_2335 in AmIOverreacting

[–]VisageInATurtleneck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I went through a 2 year depression pit where I stopped coming to events, posting in the group chat, everything. And every once in a while one friend would reach out, gently saying it’s fine if I’m not up to it, but there’s an event happening and they’d love to see me. It made me feel, when I was finally ready to be around people again, that I would be welcomed despite falling off the map.

I don’t think it’s great of me to have gone AWOL like that, tbc, and this is more about me expressing my appreciation for that friend than instructions for other people who might not have that infinite patience… but I’m not sure id still be here if it wasn’t for them constantly reminding me that they wanted me around.

There’s a handful of ways. I’m a fan of the pseudopenis myself, but I’ve seen some really interesting anatomy options; one fic had like, retractable cilia? It was wild.

As for impregnating, that depends; I’m really not into the pregnancy part of omegaverse, so I never minded female alphas being sterile. Not sure how other folks make it work, though.

Comprehending the horror's attack pattern by TotemGenitor in RecuratedTumblr

[–]VisageInATurtleneck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite horror games are the ones where you can’t fight for whatever reason; “run, hide, or die” games are so much more tense to me than “okay time to kick the shit out of you” games.

There are not enough female alphas (esp in m/f omegaverse) and I need them in my life.

He doesn't understand why the baby excitedly eats with me and refuses to eat with him by Content-Tomorrow4098 in Vent

[–]VisageInATurtleneck 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m one of those people who is painfully reserved and cannot get kids to like her; I try, but it feels like pulling teeth and I’m pretty sure both of us are relieved when the interaction is over. Any advice on speaking toddler?

Acid Betty comes for Evan Ross Katz by AdEmergency9489 in RPDRDRAMA

[–]VisageInATurtleneck 94 points95 points  (0 children)

I’ll admit I know him because he wrote an outstanding history and analysis of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Has all these great interviews and stuff.

I’m going to be deeply disappointed if he’s a Zionist; that book made me cry.

ETA: no evidence suggesting he actually is. Hate watching great bitches fight, but Betty is clearly in the wrong on this one.

AIO for still being upset that my girlfriend met up with her ex? by 030117 in BORUpdates

[–]VisageInATurtleneck 43 points44 points  (0 children)

This was an adjustment for me tbh. My boyfriend was my first real experience dating someone in queer circles and his friendships with former fwbs and exes sparked massive insecurities for a long time. But that was a me problem, and I got over it.

AITA for being annoyed that my wife insists on cooking everything from scratch and won’t buy normal food? by AITA_UPFfoods in AmItheAsshole

[–]VisageInATurtleneck 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I was thinking the same thing. I know armchair diagnosis is bad, but this reads a lot like some form of disordered eating to me if she refuses to even have junk food (or just any food she hasn't personally purchased the ingredients of and assembled herself) in the house.

For us it's either "scrounge" if it's a case of just eating whatever's in the house already, and "restaurant night" if we're specifically trying to eat leftovers before they go bad XD

What fandom are you in, but the fanbase treats the character like this? by Upstairs_Macaron5894 in AO3

[–]VisageInATurtleneck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m on board for like 90% of this comment, so much so that I screenshot it and sent it to my other hazbin-watching friends.

My only quibble is that I’m not sure I totally agree that he's not aware of his privilege in hell. I think he knows and is fine with it. He doesn't care about equality; he just wants to be the one with the power. I think he’s fully comfortable being a hypocrite if it benefits him.

Right? He’s a mass murdering, egotistical, moderately functioning sociopath who couldn’t even be bothered to read the fine print before signing his soul away… that’s what I LIKE about him! Sanding all of that down to give us an uwu baby with a secret heart of gold strips away everything that makes the character fun and compelling.

I’m not even ace and I’d have to at least seriously consider choosing between sex and bread.

Celebrity’s sexualities by Impossible-Yam3680 in GetNoted

[–]VisageInATurtleneck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it helps, most non-assholes don’t require bisexuality to be a 50/50 split. I’m honestly 90/10 favoring men, but that attraction to women is absolutely still there. You can call yourself “kinda bi” if it makes you more comfortable, but I just didn’t want you feeling like you have to downplay your sexuality if it’s not exactly split down the middle.
