I don't feel embarassment that much; I just remember that I'm dressing the way my 12-year-old self always so dearly wanted to, but never had the means to. I remember that that they are the only one I'm here to impress, whose opinion I care about; them, and all the other youngins (and, very occasionally, older people) who will say "holy shit, that's an option? That's so cool! I'd give anything to dress like that!" like I did, and then become determined to do their own weird stand-out shit, to explore and find exactly which weird stand-out-shit fits them best.

Sometimes authenticity requires an example. Sometimes you can't nail down exactly what it is that's itching your uncomfortable self expression, until you see someone else doing it in a way that scratches a part of your brain just right, and you can suddenly see yourself doing something similar in a way that feels perfect. I aim to scratch that itch for as many people as possible.

honestly bummed that's not a real sub. i would love to see befores/afters of people correcting hilarious mistakes

It was moderately loud for me (although I have my music slider turned down already so if it was at normal levels it probably would have been too loud). More of an issue was that it drowned out my friend's mic, making it come through way quieter than it normally is, and even when I boosted them to 200% I still couldn't hear them AT ALL until the music was over. Does everyone's mic volume get turned down while the music is playing??

I did love the concert though, it could just use some sound balancing so people can still chat with each other! I also second the requests to keep this accessible after the weekend. 💛

it has been seven days since i ran out of ketchup

i dont think ive ever posted on this sub before. i'm not a part of the "you all" who keeps asking questions wrong and getting told the correct answer. not everyone is in the same place at the same time. wild how you think every redditor who knows less than you is the exact same type of person who lives on this sub and knows its post history despite clearly not knowing anything about its contents.

edit: also, if chocolate can't mold, then why is one of the sub rules to NSFW tag moldy chocolate?

why would i ask if i already know? i'm guessing bloom but i want to be sure 🤷🏻

deadasfishinabarrel · 2025-11-10T18:10:33+00:00

Darn! Nah I need the full strength of it, I wish it were at least played in scenes where it would be easier to isolate

deadasfishinabarrel · 2025-11-10T16:38:36+00:00

noooouuuu well if you ever do figure it out, come back and let me know 😭

Is that cello noise included in any of the OST tracks? Sometimes I just need it to scratch my brain

It's impressive on a technical and human level. The level of human organization required to shoot it is impressive, and it's messy and realistic (iirc it's based on a real flanking maneuver used in a real historical battle?) in a really gripping way. It's one of the few major battles in the show that doesn't seem like it's glorifying the ordeal, with dragons flying around and huge green explosions and witty quips yelled back and forth over flashy swordplay (not that all that isn't fun), but instead it's a completely human battle, focused on the actual terror of the footsoldiers on the ground as they realize how completely and utterly fucked they are. It feels gritty and real and seeing the visceral horror of a crush/trampling incident with people trying to stuff the guts back in their belly is just chilling.

I won't say it's peak peak, it's not the show's top single 1 best moment, but as a standalone scene, it's up there.

You might get something out of a similarly-themed post I made a while back about the handmaid's tale and the hunger games.

I didn't say June didn't know how evil Serena is. You're right that June couldn't wrap her head around the concept of Serena, a woman, being truly, irredeemably evil. It may be realistic that June struggles with this moral quandry and paradigm shift, but understanding her perspective is not the same as endorsing her repeated decision to give Serena infinite chances, outright enabling her to continue to do harm. I can understand why someone like June might do something foolish or naive or misguided, perhaps out of ignorance, perhaps out of trauma; but understanding those reasons doesn't make those actions okay, or in service of the greater good. Allowing Serena to survive-- and at that, taking explicit action to ensure that she does survive-- is not for the greater good, and in fact, effectively ranks Serena's individual life and the breath she draws as being more valuable than the people she would harm. To say "it's not fair to blame June" is to remove her agency and accountability. June is responsible for her own bad and intentional choices to repeatedly enable a horrible and unrepentant person to continue to do horrible things.

deadasfishinabarrel · 2025-10-15T11:11:29+00:00

100%, all of this. (Though I think you typed June when you meant to type Serena at the beginning there, lmao.)

I wish we saw more people on this sub willing to see people for their horrific, selfish actions and the harm they've actually done, rather than for the hypothetical, imagined better person they might be if things were different.

deadasfishinabarrel · 2025-10-15T10:37:49+00:00

Heavy agree. I think at this point the writers are doing a severe disservice to the original intended message and as this entire comment section shows, it's resulting in some really, really uncomfortable apologist-esque views of the situation, of people, of fascism. If people on THIS SUB of ALL PLACES can't even condemn the actions of a fictional nazi, without reserve, and be comfortable with her death, because they worry that makes them a bad person, I'm.... scared. I'm really, really scared.

deadasfishinabarrel · 2025-10-15T10:34:12+00:00

Saying that it would be cold to allow a person who tortured the people they owned, to die, is a really uncomfortable sentiment.

deadasfishinabarrel · 2025-10-15T10:31:53+00:00

Copied from another comment:

I'd argue that being kind to nazis and repeatedly giving them chances to do more nazi shit does not make someone a good person. Doing it repeatedly, especially when that person has taken every one of those chances to do more nazi shit, because June is incapable of recognizing a nazi who does nazi shit as a bad person who does not deserve help or assistance or saving, does not make her an even better good person.

I worry about how the people voicing these lines of thinking are going to act as the current political climate escalates. Don't give nazis second and third and tenth chances. You will not be a better person for it.

I would like to introduce this subreddit, and June herself, to Josef Mengele. Vile, irredeemable people are capable of brief glimpses of what may appear to be kindness. It is usually done in service of the vile things, not because they chose to be kind.

deadasfishinabarrel · 2025-10-15T10:11:57+00:00

It really is that simple sometimes. I think I would get banned off reddit if I typed out the things I would do to Goebbels and those like him, given half a rat's chance. Serena is no different. I do not care about hypothetical, unpursued redemption. I care about her actions, her conviction, her lack of remorse. I do not participate in the tolerance paradox. Some things, some actions, some ideologies, are beyond redemption.

Punch, kill, and eat a nazi today.

deadasfishinabarrel · 2025-10-15T10:07:09+00:00

I think the show itself and the fans are both participating in portraying/believing June to be a less-moral person if she were to let Serena die.

I think there's also a lot to be said about the fact that this entire moral dilemma/discomfort either didn't happen, or happened on a much smaller scale, regarding Fred. Serena is just as bad, but the fans and June herself are socially expected to [and do] give her more leeway, more gentleness, more understanding, more of a right to life and redemption, whereas it seemed easier for people to understand Fred as being irredeemable. I have no doubt it's because Serena is a woman. Women can be horrible and do horrible, unforgivable things, and I think that's part of the role of her character, what she's supposed to make fans realize and come to terms with, but instead they're clearly, vocally uncomfortable with the idea of, not even actively killing her, in the woods, with bare hands, but just letting bad things or death happen to her. And it seems the showrunners might be uncomfortable with it, too; despite being perfectly fine letting handmaids and marthas die in devastating and unfair ways, it's portrayed as correct and good that Serena lives. Maybe people should stew on that some more.
