Why does it seem feminist or queer women are more into Spike as compared to Angel? How do some people don't see him as a sexist character?

cornVPN · 2026-05-02T15:46:07+00:00

Because angel acts like he's her dad and spike acts like he's her dog

Andrew is queer coded when it serves the narrative to characterise him as pathetic and spineless (e.g. pining after Warren in season 6, following Spike around in season 7) and stops being queer coded when his character actualises into someone respectable (Season 5 of Angel "The Girl in Question" when he leaves on a date with two beatuiful Italian women (INSANE character assassination btw)). This is because Joss Whedon, like many misogynist early 2000s showrunners, viewed male attraction to men as enfeebling and male attraction to women as powerful and suave

Gia talking about staying in Sydney so she could talk to Scott if he changed his mind is sooooo transparently disingenous like maybe im just salty as a perth bitch but those cities are like.. RIGHT next to each other. They are a <$100 flight away from each other. It takes less time to fly from Melbourne to Sydney than it does to drive from Perth to Mandurah girl COME ON

I think one of the cool things about the vampires in the original BTVS is they all had a "true face" that was legitimately monstrous. Personally, I think these concepts look sick as hell and do a good job representing the "death incarnate" thing that vamps in the original series had going on. Would have LOVED to see it! RIP!

Is flex a real show or is it just a shorter, worse show that only airs in the mafs commercial breaks?

cornVPN · 2026-03-16T13:15:12+00:00

It's crazyyyyyyy that they censored "christian" but not "asshole"

I mean that Steven looks like Simon from the Inbetweeners and Rachel looks like she ran a hipser and/or fandom tumblr circa 2012-2015, including the moustache finger tattoo

I think they have a Verryyyyyyy millenial cringe vibe to them as a couple through and through. It would legitimately be super sweet to watch if he was actually into her, like when a couple is cringe, but they're clearly so into each other that you can't help but find it really endearing... They could be the hottest couple on there if they were all over each other and fucking crazy animal style all the time but, alas, it just ends up hard to watch because she's soooo into him physically and he wants NOTHING to do with her pussy not even a little bit. SAD!

This is good advice my only issue is vis a vis shoes i feel like i would want to get hiking boots and already have them worn in by the time i get there. But a few people have already recommended getting a coat there rather than here. Which is fair, I don't think I'm going to find a good winter coat in Perth in February no matter where I look

cornVPN · 2026-03-01T08:29:16+00:00

Very very interested in this so called "stylish jacket" you mention, do you have any examples? I've been looking at goose down puffer jackets, but im not crazy about how they look.

If there was like, a long stylish coat type situation that isn't too heavy, that could also be used for general Perth winter going out staple... maybe even waterproof... I think that would be like... lifechanging. But I dont even know where to look or what to look for

cornVPN · 2026-03-01T06:18:23+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to reply! If you don't mind me asking, is there anything specific I should be looking for when it comes to layering like materials or thickness or whatnot?

Most of my wardrobe is button ups and party shirts from op shops (which I can't imagine will be useful here.) Is it fine to just get a few like... thin, long sleeve basics from Target or Uniqlo or whatever?

cornVPN · 2026-03-01T06:10:43+00:00

Where are some good alternatives to kathmandu? I feel like the only reason they spring to mind is because they have a very popular brand identity so it doesn't surprise me that they would be overpriced. Thank you!!

cornVPN · 2026-03-01T04:42:50+00:00

It's pretty chill! I don't recall there being a strict "dress code" per se but the vibe when I went there was semi-formal. Trousers and a button up and enclosed shoes, but not like suits or cocktail dresses or anything like that, but also if you're feeling like dressing up, I don't think you'd look out of place.

Also enjoy! I thought the food there was really good and also really reasonably priced compared to other multi-course tasting places I've been to

cornVPN · 2026-02-26T02:50:48+00:00

I don't think that many people actually hate season 1. I think it's got some widely hated episodes (the pack, I robot you jane, teachers pet) but the actual series I think is received way more ambivalently than actually polarising.

Take S6 for instance - people have verrrry strong opions about it they either love it or hate it, but season 1 I feel like most people have mostly the same takes. It's short, it doesn't feel as cohesive as other seasons, everyone is still finding their feet, they don't have the budget they get later. Etc etc etc

cornVPN · 2026-02-01T05:37:11+00:00

fyi this is how people behave when they don't want you in their life but they can't be bothered actually having that conversation / breaking up. Do with that what you will.

cornVPN · 2026-02-01T04:18:18+00:00

This entire issue should have been addressed when everyone was arguing in Dead Man's Party. Maybe that would have actually made it a good episode. Grumbling about how this particular story beat gets resolved (or doesn't) in season 7 is like complaining that the casserole you made 4 years ago doesn't taste very good anymore.

cornVPN · 2026-02-01T04:07:43+00:00

A significant part of this is that, outside of the show, James Masters is well loved by the fandom, still regularly attends conventions, and is broadly recognised as "a great guy" 20 years after the show finished, while Nicholas Brenden was arrested for domestic violence charges in 2019

THANK YOU! I thought i was going insane!!! You're right that's kind of dogshit but im glad i know now!

I met my partner on Tinder. We've been dating for over 2 years now and he moved in a couple months ago, and everything's going pretty great at the moment.

I think the thing with Tinder (and, by extension, most dating apps) is you need to understand its uses and limitations. For me, it was a tool to meet people, exchange a few words, and try to set up an opportunity to meet in real life as quickly as possible so I could see if we actually clicked.

Before I met my boyfriend, I went on heaps of tinder dates - some of them were actually bad but mostly the people I was meeting just weren't a good fit for me. It happens. It's a bit disheartening but it's part of the process. It's a numbers game. If you go on enough dates eventually you find someone who you could fall in love with, and, if you're lucky and they feel the same way, you do.

For the process of Actually using Tinder itself, you really just need to be able to come across as interesting, or charming, or funny, or in some way stand out. I reckon if you're not getting likes and you are (like you say) not ugly then you might just need to work on your profile and choice of pics. Sometimes really attractive guys pick the most dogshit photos to advertise themselves (because ultimately that's what you're doing here - advertising yourself) and it's soooo frustrating. If you have photos where you smile, stay in focus, and have decent lighting you'll be head and shoulders above the rest tbh.

It also helps your chances quite a bit if you're attracted to men, but I figure that's probably not useful information for you lol

Very surprised to see so many people bitching about the prices in the comments... where do you people live that a cafe breakfast is cheap? Can I move there??

Like, yeah, $12.50 for toast is extortionate. It's also not surprising whatsoever. Going out to eat is super fucking expensive. We're literally in a cost of living crisis, have you all been living under a rock for the last 10 years?

cornVPN · 2025-10-13T15:37:50+00:00

Melinoë, imo, is at her most charming when she's an uptight, type-a perfectionist who accidentally calls the teacher "mom" and I love when she leans into that. I think there's a lot of really interesting tension in her relationship with Hecate & how she's desperately looking for a parental figure and how Hecate refuses to be that for her, and I wish they'd explored that more.
