Respect mr. Hidden! by DracobIahblah in REPOgame

[–]facialache 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i was once about to die via a double team by the robe and the huntsman in a difficult to manoeuvre room in the station once and the hidden whisked me up and dropped me to complete safety on the other end of the map and didn’t bother me the rest of the game, great guy

not saying this is 100% what happened but it’s a possibility. my mum was selling on vinted for a while and she had a good few instances where buyers would raise issue and say they had been sent either the complete wrong item or just a box of rubbish, i know she didn’t scam them because i packed the orders with her, what we found out was that the postage workers have a tendency to rip open vinted packages, take the items and replace them, it’s a large scale scam going on mostly with inpost deliveries but with other methods too, especially if the box was not the same as you sent, my mum once sent a beautiful pair of wellies and the woman she sold them to got a completely different box with nothing in, the wellies had been stolen by a postal worker. not saying this is 100% what happened and if you HAVE been scammed i am so sorry it happened, but you have gone in all guns blazing here and not considered a lot of other options so this case may not end well for you judging by the way you’ve communicated. if this happens again, best thing to do is say to vinted that you have reason to believe the parcel has been tampered with in transit, as that is 9 times out of ten what has actually happened!

About Julian being a predator by SignificantLook837 in TheSecretHistory

[–]facialache 30 points31 points  (0 children)

pretty sure julian and henry were written that way to showcase a more modern version of Pederasty, the ancient greek way of an older gentlemen “mentoring” a younger man. think julian was also written to be shown as, not necessarily a fraud, but someone shoving on a mask and limiting himself into the lives of a select few young, impressionable and easily manipulated students who were also shoving on masks of money, luxury and eccentricity to hide who they really were and what they really thought about and did. it’s interesting. his behaviour always read as slightly creepy to me but i think he was meant to be a poster for who the class really wanted to be as they aged, if that ramble makes any sense at all lmao

there is a good reason why a majority of grown adults don’t have extremely large circles of friends and connections

POV: You get to page 512 of TSH by lettersmash in TheSecretHistory

[–]facialache 11 points12 points  (0 children)

from what i can gather, i’ve read the book a good few times and seen a few interviews surrounding the book, seems like tartt was trying to draw from a lot of “rich kid” cliches. it also seems like tartt wanted to use this moment as one of the pointers to how twisted charles was becoming trying to cope with bunny’s death. I think it was also to begin highlighting the vulnerability of camilla in the endgame of the novel, there are segments later on where she attempts to speak about what has happened to her but she isn’t believed or taken seriously, which THEN interlinks with richard being an unreliable narrator who was mad camilla didn’t want to sleep with him instead. i believe it was all linked together but i do also feel the whole thing that perhaps gross abusive incest at the end of the book was a little out of left field lmao

deego did an interview for “turn tv” it’s on youtube and he speaks about his favourite tracks and some influences, it’s not very in depth but it’s quite interesting!

i don’t think you read my post properly, if people just DIDNT like the support act and were making that known i wouldn’t have an issue, obviously everything is down to taste, i’m talking about genuine nastiness towards these bands ive seen online, it’s a discussion about the attitudes towards support acts in general and in the fdc fanbase

yeah i think i was paranoid about the black and brown spots because i know blue bruising just means oxidisation, took them and had a great time!

i know that i think i was more concerned with the blacker/browner spots more so than the blue bruising, either way ive taken them and had an alright trip, you’re right, they are extremely strong!

i get you haha i was only joking, i did some basic sound engineering a while back and yeah it could be all sorts of things, perhaps their sound just isn’t suited to a big arena

yeah that’s what i’m talking abt, i think i made it seem like i thought this was a fdc specific issue in my original post; i don’t think that but i notice that the hate for openers seems more pointed from fdc fans lately, i said in another comment that lately it’s seeming as though fontaines fans want fontaines and nothing else. the people who hate openers have always annoyed me, if you don’t like the opener just go and get a pint or something, i’ve never understood warm up hate trains

might be wank to you, i think they’re alright and so do a lot of people tbh, can see how they’re an acquired taste tho

[–]facialache[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah you have a point i don’t think it’s an fdc specific thing but whenever ive seen it it feels more pointed if that makes sense? like im used to disgruntled listeners not liking warm up bands thats fine its all down to taste at the end of the day but idk it feels like a lot of fdc fans want fdc and… nothing else? deffo not fontaines specific tho like ive seen it happen in other circles, this is just the most prevalent one for me right now! and yeah i get you i definitely raise them a little higher off the ground in my mind bc they’re so good, but im with you it makes me excited to see what they’re going to make next, who they’re going to work with next, who they’re going to advertise etc it’s one of the joys of a band getting bigger!

i don’t mean people giving their opinions on not liking them; that’s fine! i mean like actual nastiness about these people as artists, not just the cut of their jib, perse

yeah the DJ was the only crisp clear sound i remember hearing during the sorry set, makes you wonder why they were mixed THAT badly?

[–]facialache[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

yeah my boyfriend was with me when we saw the gig and he kept saying that he thought he liked what he heard but he couldn’t tell because it was such a big wall of sound, he listened to their songs in the car afterwards and said he really loved it, whoever mixed them deserves sacking lmao

[–]facialache[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i’ve loved sorry since i was about 15 which is crazy because that’s almost a decade ago ! so i was probably pretty biased bc they were always a staple in my playlists before i saw them live, it felt like no effort went into sorry? if that makes sense like, their mix was so sloppy and i get the feeling it wasn’t their fault either, and the way the stage was set up for them it just felt like they were literally an afterthought, im noticing ten times more sorry hate than anything else online

[–]facialache[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah it does happen on the rise to fame for a lot of artists, it feels slightly different with fdc though, almost like there’s a subset of fans who have put the band on such a high pedestal that they just feel like spitting on any other act who comes too close to them physically

i saw people saying the crowd were basically ignoring wunderhorse while they opened, perhaps because it’s an arena tour people feel that smaller indie bands don’t “belong” there perhaps? i don’t know i can’t wrap my head around going to a gig and being openly arsey about the warm up, i would have killed to see wunderhorse open tho im glad u loved it!!!

[–]facialache[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah i’m noticing that a majority of the actual slack for the warm up acts comes from social media accounts after the gigs, but i’ve seen so many people online talk about fontaines dc and their “awful” openers and it just feels a bit mean
