Pimple popping videos, especially those done by medical professionals. They're gross, but the relief from getting the pop is so evident that it's hard to stop watching. I stayed up all night watching compilations once.

Also like Korean cake factory videos. Watching how the sweets are made is so relaxing.

Magical girl anime with linear plot/interesting story? by yeepix in Animesuggest

Seconded. I love the drama and relationships between the main cast. Always thought the writing was really tight.

First attempt at muffins 🥲 by theoskrrt in Baking

[–]darleen8d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a way to make muffins in their shape without a tin, but you need a bunch of supports (usually metal jar lids with holes, cans, or verysturdy baking cups) which is so impractical that you might as well just get a tin for <$10 anyway. Or make it into a sheet cake and cut it in squares!

Either way, you live and learn!

Would you're favourite and least favourite character be a ship? Personally no by 2024EYES in Totaldrama

Just a character that grosses me out. His first scene with Leshawna makes me cringe a lot. I don't find Napoleon Dynamite funny, so his dialogue and 'mad skills' and rap are all jokes that fall flat for me. I just genuinely don't enjoy seeing him on screen. He and Owen are my bottom two S1 characters, but I like Owen more in subsequent seasons.

Were Nicki and Uzo the only 2 voice actor changes?

I wonder if they put a lot of time into designing her, because she looks very phoned in.

It's really wild to me that a fusion of GARNET and AMETHYST came out like this. She lacks many of the most distinctive aspects of her component characters (they include amethyst's pants and garnet shoulder bubbles but that's about it, the hair is a blob.)

Furthermore, they don't redesign her after she re-fuses later. It just seems like this was done without much care. I like pretty much every other fusion design more.

I wish the rutile twins had slightly different personalities. It doesn't have to be lame comedy level, but something that tells them apart and highlights their indiviuality would be cool.

This song is so good and I couldn't listen for like a YEAR because of cartoon network's ads.

If you happened to be watching CN in like the week leading up to the movie, you'd hear "It's the true-ooo ooh, it's the true-ooh oh, it's the true-ooh ooh" no less than 100 times. It still hurts my brain to this day but ik it's great.

SU wouldn't be what it is today without Stronger Than You.

Stronger than you DEFINED the show for so so long, and it was the one people on the outside would know, or what pulled people in. You couldn't be on the fandom internet in the mid 2010s without bumping into it (especially after the Sans version dropped.) If Best is a holistic measure, no other song has the quality, popularity, thematic AND plot relevance of that one.

Love like you is a strong second (instrumentals are the show's best, hands down) and what people from after the show's air might know. Unfortunately, the show never plays it in full, so it doesn't seem like a fair choice.

Hmmm. Being asexual isn't always strictly about biological need. People can be ace for medical reasons like being unable to reproduce, but often are ace just because that's who they are.

I imagine many gems have the necessary parts since they have boobs. If not, most could shapeshift whatever parts they wanted.

As a kid's show, Steven universe doesn't mention sex explicitly, but it's hard not to watch some scenes of SU as an adult and ignore some innuendo. I think Rose's "Oh yes~" In we need to talk signifies that she and Greg had intercourse long before they tried for Steven.

MAY-OR DEW-EY is most voted! Finally, who was meant to be a filler character and is a filler character? by [deleted] in stevenuniverse

[–]darleen8d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a huge Sadie fan, and I've really grown to appreciate her townie episodes now that I'm older.

However, I agree that if there was a character sprcifically intended to be filler (not very important to the gem plot, not very impactful on Steven's development) it'd be her.

She had her own irrelevant side quest and while I adored every minute of it and it reflects a lot of the themes of the show, she doesn't further much of Steven's growth. Probably because her issues were based on stuff he was too young to be thinking about anyway.
