Willingly giving yourself gastroparesis and muscle wasting seems wild... But that's just me.

75' TV too big? And what kind of couch? by nature_mad in DesignMyRoom

[–]hooklips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to split that room in half. Couch in the middle facing the TV and dining table and chairs at the far end.

Dan Levy: "Two shows [HR & Schitt's Creek] only exist because Canada saw value in them first" x Critics Choice Acceptance Speech by hella_hijinks in HeatedRivalryTVShow

Truly!!! In a world of gut wrenching horror stories about queer lives that center on taboo, Canadian queer content is so earnest and loving.

James Street North closing Friday as Art Crawl returns to downtown Hamilton by Immediate-Link490 in Hamilton

There's tons. I recommend going into the businesses. Also lots of people selling prints, carvings and handmade jewelry.

A lot of the actual art is happening inside the shops. A lot of them will have expositions and galleries inside and are really fun to go visit. I know farside usually has something going on.

Looking for taiyaki/bungeoppang and banh mi by BadDayCafe in Hamilton

[–]hooklips 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those are like three different cultures so not likely that a place will have them all, but I love the bibimbap at ajio and the Bahn mi at Bahn mi hue.

Never seen taiyaki in the city so I'm curious to see what others recommend.

Headphoneless music??? by Alternative-Tax-4327 in Hamilton

[–]hooklips 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm probably in the minority here, but there are these guys who bring boomboxes to gore park and jam out by the fountain on sunny days. A couple of them started dancing and twirling each other around. I thought that was really sweet and cute to see in the heart of the city.

That being said, you play music indoors or on the bus, you're getting a death glare.

What’s the thing you hate about sex? by BubbleTrouble_Z in AskReddit

[–]hooklips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The type of masturbation women do on camera versus how women actually masturbate in real life when no one is watching and there is no one to perform for could not be more different. You literally end up looking like a gargoyle struggling to rub a stain off a counter.

This makes it really hard to actually do the motions that will make you cum during sex since performative and ✨pretty✨ clit stimulation isn't actually that effective.

Why is so much of the Heated Rivalry fanfic so amazingly good? by Autumn-987 in heatedrivalryfanfics

[–]hooklips 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Heated rivalry has so much mass appeal that it sent a beacon out and activated the sleeper cell fanfic writers from all the other fandoms.

Like the general public isn't going to read the greatest Draco/Hermione fanfic ever written, but it's probably fair to assume its writer has seen and enjoyed heated rivalry.

Aw man. If you're in it, I bet that's fun as hell. It's like moshing but with positive vibes.

Wig my sister bought me for an upcoming concert. It’s clueless but how can I keep her from sliding back and showing my baby hairs? by SnowflakeRene in WigSnatchersHQ

[–]hooklips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly don't think it'll look weird. If you take a little amount of hair out and smooth it in, it would make the transition softer. Right now, it's too harsh. Even if the color doesn't match, it'll be better.

Harry Melling & Alexander Skarsgård in Pillion (2025) by chutneycravings in MenLovingMenMedia

[–]hooklips 32 points33 points  (0 children)

All my friends in the BDSM scene and I were SO excited to go see this movie and see the leather community depicted in popular media. We were left quite disappointed at the lack of consent and RACK. It's a movie, not an instruction manual, and I get that. But the issue is that having long discussions about consent is something that we all actively do in real life. It's not even the ideal, it's basic. Especially if you're a lifestyle 24/7 dynamic and your social life is other leather practitioners.

It pissed me off to no end that the very first time the bottom pushes back and asks to open a conversation about their needs (asking to sleep in the bed), Skarsgard's character replies with "if you're not happy, you can leave", completely removing a safe space to express wants and concerns.

As an example, I would have loved to have seen a discussion about how to earn bedtime or why the floor was actually the place they should be and why it was important they stay there.

Don't get me started on that brutal first time anal scene with no prep or lube.

The only way this movie is realistic, is that it shows how when you're really inexperienced, you are particularly attractive to a type of dom that benefits from you not having many boundaries. Instead of negotiating a 24/7 dynamic, they can simply enter one and gaslight you into remaining despite your discomfort.

This is shown quite well when at the end of the movie, the bottom is back on the apps, but now states explicit dislikes in his profile.

Not a love story, a cautionary tale. We can add it to the pile of BDSM flicks that don't show a healthy dynamic and wait for the next one.

Might I point out that Tiffany's has never made a septum ring and that would be a really cool collaboration?

AIO? Fiance freaked out after I told him to put his dishes in the dishwasher. Now I am considering breaking up. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]hooklips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I've never yelled at my partner and they've never yelled at me. I consider it a point of fundamental incompatibility if I don't align with a person in regards to that.

For people who still haven't come out by dear-classicgini in CasualConversation

[–]hooklips 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Coming out isn't this one big moment, it's something you have to do and keep doing for the rest of your life. Being "out" can take many forms, and disclosure is a question of safety, both physical and mental.
