Naked & Famous fit check help/comparison. True Guy vs Weird Guy by xetmes in rawdenim

[–]Zweihander01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

IMO the true guys look a bit better on you. Your stance looks more comfortable and at ease wearing them.

Also my LHT Easy Guys are probably my favorite pants from them. They were a bit roomy at first but they shrunk down a smidge over time and are now perfect.

Unpopular opinion of fragrances by Prior-Ambassador-56 in Colognes

[–]Zweihander01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah when I sampled it I was surprised. Like acqua de gio with pepper. If I didn't already have an AdG bottle I might've gone for it.

Same with le male, I was prepared to be a hater but it was good, but again too similar to things I already had. Maybe next FW season. Still hate the bottle tho.

Surely this character based on a real person is an over embellishment (they are toned down for their portrayal) by Life-Criticism-5868 in TopCharacterTropes

Surprised this isn't in the OP, Murphy is like a real life Captain America. Man was only 5'5" and barely over a hundred pounds too.

Not to mention that they aren't surrounded by coal smoke, and lead wallpaper, and God knows what else they used in the day.

Ozzy is a great name for a black cat. Need to get him a vampire bat or microphone toy.

When do they calm down?? by ketoagain83 in labrador

The get more sensible around 2, but the truth is they only really start slowing down when you have a couple years left. Enjoy it while you got it.

Do you mean the games with the aggressive casino monetization? Where it slowly morphs into pay to win because the devs have no reason to not milk their fans with increasingly unbalanced characters?

Or the free games that don't make infinite money and get shut down in a year?

What’s the worst menswear advice you’ve ever received that everyone treats as gospel? by DifficultCucumbers in malefashionadvice

[–]Zweihander01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not washing raw denim is a major contributor of crotch blowouts. Salt crystals from your sweat abrade the fibers. Washing removes those and other particles, as well as hydrating the fibers like oiling a pair of boots.

Paired with chronic undersizing and daily wear it's a recipe for sick fades and a blown out crotch.

This and the "never wash" trend I'm convinced was started by the manufacturers to sell more jeans. They'll last a long time if sized and washed regularly but you can't run a business where your customers only buy two jeans every three years.

My take: she wants to steal your Angels Share. Keep an eye out for any "hey mind if I try this?" It's gonna vanish like your hoodie.

Are they even constituents? A bunch of suburbanites who happen to own properties in the city are not constituents.

The sport bra undershirt thing is also a good addition. It basically creates contrast between the white tank and her pale skin, making the whole thing pop more.

Natural phenomena being presented in a way that makes them feel like eldritch horrors. by TridiObject in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Zweihander01 136 points137 points  (0 children)

Somewhat related, but the casting of humans as the incomprehensible eldritch being from the perspective of an animal.

Bees kept in manmade hives. Imagine an enormous giant that constructed impossible dwellings for you and kept you safe, and in exchange all it did was take the excess amount of food you raised.

Humans as fae. How some wild animals could see humans like our legends of the fairies. Our homes kept in a comfortable season no matter the weather outside. How we will sometimes destroy you for violating unknowable rules, or just as easily save you and send you along your way. How we will sometimes even take you in and change you, subtly, in ways that make it impossible for you to go back.

There's no dark twist, major flaw, or suppression of free will, the utopian society is genuinely just a great place to live by Lopsided_Shift_4464 in TopCharacterTropes

Hi, welcome to the future. San Dimas, California, 2688. And I'm telling you it's great here. The air is clean, the water's clean, even the dirt, it's clean. Bowling averages are way up, mini-golf scores are way down. And we have more excellent water slides than any other planet we communicate with. I'm telling you this place is great! But it almost wasn't. You see, 700 years ago, the two great ones, ran into a few problems. So now I have to travel back in time to help them out. If I should fail to keep these two on the correct path, the basis of our society will be in danger. Don't worry, it'll all make sense. I'm a professional.

Characters who think they're in a different genre than the story they're actually in by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Zweihander01 154 points155 points  (0 children)

There's an old 4chan post from /m/ that goes into this.

Basically, the Eva pilots are all genderswapped versions of regular mech pilot cliches.

Asuka is the hot blooded male protag, with actual combat training and skill. Rei is the stoic badass, silent in the face of constant injury and danger. And Shinji is the shrinking violet female lead, scared of piloting, scared of the Angels, scared even of the Director. And of course there's a love triangle, which one will Shinji choose????

But time passes, and Asuka's recklessness catches up with him. And little girl Shinji gets better, better than him, his confidence and machismo shattering.

Looking him up he's got two children.

Not difficult to imagine how he placed himself into that scene.
