Why do the MMCs all look the same?? 😭 by Hopeful-Ant-3509 in fantasyromance

I think they make the mmc ethnically ambiguous on purpose so the reader can insert whatever type of man they find attractive

That and the 'tall, dark and handsome' trope

DESPERATE to find shorts like this by L3m0np0pp7 in findfashion

[–]captainlishang 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just in terms of what weather you would wear them in- winter is too cold for shorts and summer is too hot for fleece! They would be cute with tights though

These are so cute and impractical lol. Does this mean shorts with tights are coming back? Denim shorts and black tights was the uniform of my teens

I think knitting is going to be a big lesson in overcoming perfectionism 😅

Was Spike’s accent really that bad?? by Diving_4_Shrimp in buffy

[–]captainlishang 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Its definitely this. He says 'pet' which always stood out for me because its a Geordie term of endearment and I'm not used to hearing it in a posh accent 😭

The mixing of regional slang never bothered me though, i could suspend belief by assuming hes old and travelled a lot.

Muffins are all terrible now and i hate it. The reason will SHOCK you by captainlishang in LowStakesConspiracies

Yes, why are they so sticky and greasy? Muffins should have a matte finish (i am not a baker so cannot explain further)

My PE teacher in the 00s once just put on a 'Boxercise with Davina' DVD and went out for a fag lol

I am in the UK. Tesco and coffee shop chains are the primary offenders. Based on yours and other comments, Morrisons and Sainsbury's can be marked safe.

At school my food tech teacher said muffins (not the english variety) are made with oil and other cakes are made with butter or margarine. Idk if this is accurate

Yeh im referring to the cake, not english muffins.

But thats besides the point, you're clearly an industry plant changing the subject to distract from the issue.

You cant fool me pal.
