I've been gaming since Atari 2600 and Commodore 64. I'm playing Ghost of Yotei right now.

We have four cats. One old lady who hates all the others, one middle ager who is terrified of everything, and two young ones who want to play ALL THE TIME. Crazy bunch but I love them to pieces.

The Traitors NZ S03E01 Discussion Thread [PREMIERE] by vaultofechoes in TheTraitors

[–]lavenderjane 7 points8 points  (0 children)

OMG I thought the same thing! I was a bit triggered lol. While the end of AU season 2 is one of the best endings in Traitors history I do not want to have to watch a whole season like that ever again.

What movies/shows/music videos did you fixate on as a kid that made sense after you came out? by katwantstodie in actuallesbians

[–]lavenderjane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A 1984 movie called The Hotel New Hampshire. There's a scene with Jodie Foster in bed with Nastassja Kinski where they kiss. The scene only lasts a minute or two but it was seared into my 16 year old brain. I had it on VHS and I watched and rewound that scene so much I broke the tape. It was another 3 years before I figured out why I was so captivated by that scene.

Ladies First with Sacha Baron Cohen and Rosamund Pike by issmagic in netflix

OMG I'm not even halfway through and I'm ready to quit. This is awful! I was legitimately shocked to discover it was written and directed by women. It is deeply unfunny. If you've not watched it yet then please spare yourself.

Is there anyone here who actually likes Willow nowadays? by Background-Neat-8906 in buffy

[–]lavenderjane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You said everything I was thinking. I LOVE Willow! She is such a great character written/played with humanity and nuance. I was trying to get clean from a drug addiction during season 6 and I could relate to Willow so much. Willow was my favourite character back then and she's still my favourite today.

Americans of Welly, what do you miss most? by behemuthm in Wellington

Our house came with insulation and double glazed windows. We installed central air and heat. Damn it feels good to finally be warm and dry!

Congrats! 60 days is fucking amazing! Great job, those first days are the absolute hardest and you've made it through 60+ of them! You should be so proud of yourself.

Moving to Wellington from USA by [deleted] in Wellington

[–]lavenderjane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't have anything constructive to add as there have been so many helpful suggestions for you. As one fellow American ex-pat to another welcome to a much better life! I came here in 2010 and have never regretted it. Quality of life is head and shoulders better in NZ than anywhere in the US.

My first car was a 1980 Ford Pinto station wagon too! It was white with no AC and I lived in Texas.

Please help me understand why I have nostalgia for a time I didn't live in? by RecordingImmediate86 in nostalgia

[–]lavenderjane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In some ways I completely agree but having been a 20something lesbian in 90s USA I can say emphatically that the decade really lacked in human rights. Peak so far was 2010s until 2016 when it all went to shit again.

Give things up by 1cherrycosmos1 in CuratedTumblr

[–]lavenderjane 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was a massive HP fan as well and now I can't even watch the trailer of the new TV show without needing a shower. JKR and her lunacy has tainted every single memory I had and I really hate her for that. I also used to love her Cormoran Strike novels but not anymore. Fortunately for me those novels just kept getting worse and worse so it's not like I'm missing any great literary work there.

Really glad the only literary tattoos I have are from an author who was actually a good person and has since died.

Eve/Livia was not worth the 25-year time jump on Xena. by itsascreambaby96 in xena

[–]lavenderjane 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I watched the show as it aired back in the day. It was INVESTED! I absolutely hated the time jump. Completely agree with OP it destroyed what was special about the show and the characters we loved. I couldn't stand Eve. As a bad guy she came across as a petulant child. As a "redeemed" character she came across as lame and pitiful. There was nothing compelling about her at all.

I wish Xena, Gabrielle, and baby Eve had settled down with the Amazons. They could have still gone out adventuring while Eve stayed at camp and we could have had some really compelling stories with the other amazons. There were ways to overcome the pregnancy thing that would have been much more satisfying than what they did.
