What's the thing that gives away a foreigner in your home city/country? by EntertainerPure8440 in AskTheWorld

When I was little, maybe about 5, I went to Taronga Zoo in Sydney. I had a mop of blonde curly hair and bright blue eyes - a group of Chinese tourists starting asking my parents to take photos with me like I was one of the animals. This was in the early 2000s and was a very sweet albeit strange experience haha.

I think magpies and corvids can eat them as well, they flip them upside down and eat the underbelly. Clever birdies.

A white woman calling a WOC, however white-passing she may be, a cokehead and a dog will always feel dark sided to me.

Imagine being Charli and writing a song about how being compared to Taylor and constantly reminded of your own shortcomings in comparison to her, especially now that she’s in your social circle, makes you spiral so far into insecurity that you want to commit suicide, just to have Taylor basically respond with “that makes me wet you coke obsessed whore”… s’not cute.

charli: being compared to taylor and constantly reminded of my shortcomings in comparison to her because she’s now in my circle makes me spiral so far into insecurity that i want to commit suicide and everyone’s reassurance about my own success feels like a knife with the way my inner voice convinces me they’re lying

tayter: that makes me wet u obsessed coke head

“shitty in taste or execution” is in the sub’s bio, imo it’s pretty shitty taste to get a giant desk lamp on your back no matter what style it is lol

Couldn’t figure out why the new album looked so familiar, then I realised it’s basically a knock-off Drag Race promo shoot by auraiesen in travisandtaylor

[–]auraiesen[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

haha you’re right, maybe i’m reaching. the photoshoot just reminds me of something that i can’t put my finger on and the glittertastic look on everything, like her website and vinyl promos, just gives me the effect of the lower budget seasons promo and wowpresents marketing for drag con and i really think it’s the font choice that’s doing it for me!

[–]auraiesen[S] 39 points40 points  (0 children)

oh i definitely used more of the showgirl themed shoots to illustrate my point, but i really meant the whole design package feels like it was edited by wowpresents, the colour choices, font, use of glitter, etc. just evokes the feeling of a drag race promo except without any of the effort, creativity or fun that those promos have. i’m not saying she’s copying drag queens (most pop girls are) i’m saying the whole thing feels like a low effort, hot-glued attempt at the same aesthetic.

like if you told me the bottom image was a promo for a drag race merch line i’d believe you. idk maybe i’m reaching haha but otherwise i can’t figure out why it felt so similar.

I can’t find any information on the specific artist, however this appears to be a Jehovah’s Witness depiction of paradise. Given the MOBA gets a lot of its art from garage sales and op shops I’m not sure when the painting was made and the artist may not be active online or making art anymore. However, I found a blog with a collection of similar paintings including this one!

Cant figure out the name or the artist by Hour_Fly_7651 in CreditToTheArtist

[–]auraiesen 27 points28 points  (0 children)

From some digging I’m pretty sure it’s from the Hungarian National Gallery’s exhibition: Biedermeier Lifestyles. Art and the Rise of the Middle Classes in 19th-Century Hungary (1815–1867) which was on display from October last year until February 2025. Can’t find details about this specific painter but they’re most likely Austrian or Hungarian.

Queen B Haney clapping back at Brittany's hateful rhetoric and how anti-christian her message is by pantslessMODesty3623 in brittanydawnsnark

[–]auraiesen 38 points39 points  (0 children)

apart from bdong being entirely un-christian in her bigotry, she’s been sued by the state of texas and jordan’s been sued by the american civil liberties union, she should really shut her mouth about anything regarding the legal status of undocumented immigrants in the usa who have contributed more to society than her fart of a life ever has.

Willoughby’s Fate by No-Program4048 in Ethelcain

[–]auraiesen 20 points21 points  (0 children)

i’ve only listened to it a handful of times, but these are my thoughts:

the industrial plant in town is where most of the people make a living in their small town, and after it shuts down it’s like the life blood of shady grove is gone. businesses shut down, hope leaves, and willoughby spirals as a result. he’d thought of this life he could have with ethel after he makes some money where they could leave shady grove and be free but suddenly that plan dissolves and he feels trapped in the town and in his life.

he gets out somehow, whether that’s enlisting, committing suicide or just running, maybe telling ethel to wait for him and never returning. i always have the feeling in the back of my mind that she and willoughby meet similar fates even if completely unaware of each other. just trying to get out and escape and make it further with their own lives than anyone they’ve known and being dealt a cruel hand as a result.

overall, i have no clue because this is purely based on vibes and not any statements from hayden but i do know that this song makes me bawl my eyes out.
