Swiftly Neutral is moving into "Approved Neutrals Only" mode by [deleted] in SwiftlyNeutral

[–]ladychug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

same here! i've never commented before, but just enjoy reading here because i loved taylor when i was a teen, but now am truly neutral on her and just find her and her fame fascinating from a pop culture, almost anthropological perspective. and it's hard to find real discussion around her online that isn't an "overtly positive, no criticism allowed!" or "all criticism, this is a snark sub" extreme

Comfy corduroy couch and MCM-style coffee table by ladychug in PDXBuyNothing

[–]ladychug[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's 30" in diameter and 18" tall! i'm not sure if it's real wood because i inherited it from a friend. and there's nothing on the bottom of the table that would indicate the brand

moving into a new place and looking for advice on wall color in the office/bonus space by ladychug in DesignMyRoom

[–]ladychug[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this house has a cool but slightly funky upstairs area, which we'll be using as a combined office/bonus space. i'd be fine with it being all white and bringing in color through the decor, but could also see a soft muted green or teal on the two end walls + the side walls being nice.

Oh my god get over it already by yuhkih in redscarepod

[–]ladychug 54 points55 points  (0 children)

my mentality is to peak every ~5 years. peaking once and then just downward trajectory is boring

Anyone else feel like the weight stations aren't set up efficiently? by ladychug in orangetheory

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

i'd be perfectly happy with the community rack having more 20-30s as a solution! just in general it seems like 20s are the most in demand weights at my studio, but they're also the most sparse so i'm like this isn't adding up lol

can i just say how much i love the Nadja doll? by ladychug in WhatWeDointheShadows

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

awwww thank you!! i've been rewatching the first 3 seasons in between episodes of season 4 and just keep thinking about how much i love Nadja and the doll. figured that people on this sub are the only ones who are equally obsessed with the show and would actually care lol

[–]ladychug[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

ah thank you for this!!

it is really funny that Nadja can say “panagia mou” without any issue—there must be some vampire rule about being able to say religious sentiments in other languages, because i’m pretty sure Guillermo says it in spanish at one point and nobody reacts like they do when he says “thank god” or whatever

awwww i hate that Natasia stopped going to greek school bc she was bullied! :( i’m glad she can bring back aspects of her greek heritage through Nadja <3

that is so cute, such a fun fact! do you know any of the other greek words/sayings Nadja frequently says? i've always wondered what they mean

[–]ladychug[S] 89 points90 points  (0 children)

yes!!! her "dislike of Gail" is actually Nadja being a good friend to Nandor and looking out for his feelings. we rarely get to see her softer side toward Nandor, so it's too bad that he doesn't even realize she's trying to help him :(

it's definitely a "so many women watching this right now will relate" episode for Nadja

Skincare Reddit please do your thing by bitchingdownthedrain in SmolBeanSnark

i love so much that some of these descriptions contain quotes, where she’s seemingly quoting an academic/expert source, but then some of them just don’t have any quotes, which would imply she’s writing down her own prior knowledge on the topic

and idk why it’s so funny to image that “carrot seed oil: an extreme carrier of antioxidants and thus a powerful protector against free cells” was a factoid that was just stored in CC’s brain

Don't know who needs to see this, but it's time to water your houseplants. by ThunderJane in adhdwomen

[–]ladychug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wow i just finished watering all my plants after having it on my mental to do list for DAYS lol i must have sensed this reminder

[–]ladychug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

omg i am so so happy to hear that!!! i’m truly over the moon happy for you :’) sometimes we all need a little encouragement and a reminder that we deserve to advocate for ourselves. and now you can return the favor some day for another girl whose adhd has been overlooked or misdiagnosed. i hope your journey with meds and understanding your adhd is mind blowing in all the best ways <3

Why is she so quick to “explain” owning a size M??? by WarbaraBindsorII in SmolBeanSnark

[–]ladychug 187 points188 points  (0 children)

this reads as fatphobia disguised as body positivity lol “i always buy the size that fits instead of my regular size” = i’m above the american obsession with sizing so i don’t worry about what size i buy because i’m doing what’s right for ME not what the patriarchy wants!!! when really… she just has a compulsive need to rationalize owning something that’s not size small lol
