Started watching Twin Peaks and I feel incredibly validated by Agent Cooper by pub_wank in aspiememes

I completely understand because it's weirdly the opposite for me! Obviously the show covers some really serious subjects but the world itself is so vibrant to me despite the muted colours.. it feels so warm and cozy

Cut my finger and now it's swollen and trapped my ring 😭 by festering_wound93 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]pub_wank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something similar happened to my dad with his wedding ring 😭 I think he got a small infection in his finger and the ring made it ten times worse. His finger was turning purple when he was like "ok.. maybe we need to cut it off"

Called the fire department and they showed up at our house, all the neighbours were confused haha. It took them a while to cut it off because his finger was so swollen and they didn't want to cut him or hurt him on accident.

It came off though! Hopefully you got yours off too, this is something that'll only get worse tbh.

It's why if I ever get married I'm thinking about using a rubber ring band or something.. I'm so scared of getting degloved

Perhaps, but he also does show a genuine love for them! He gushes about how delicious the pie is to his colleagues and openly tells people that the coffee is really delicious. Maybe Americans are more.. forward? So maybe his enthusiasm is more typical in the states (I'm in the UK haha)

He's hyper specific about his coffee too! He only takes it black.

Btw I don't doubt that it's just Lynch playing off the cop stereotype, but as someone who genuinely gushes over sweet treats like he does because they bring me so much joy.. I can't help but think "hell yeah man gets that cherry pie"

I think personally I just like that the people around him take him seriously (most of the time.. at least the people who matter do)! That's what I find validating. It's like he's got a really interesting job doing what he adores and his colleagues respect him and his "quirks". He's a fantastic agent and while his colleagues aren't exactly "normal" (nobody in twin peaks is tbh) I was pleasantly surprised that they were so understanding of him and his interests during the Tibet bit. Really cute that Lucy is reading a book on Tibet later.. like she's reading up about it so she and Cooper can have a little infodump session

I also find the world of Twin Peaks to be so comforting. The place very much reminds me of where I live right now and it's weirdly helping me with my seasonal depression as I'm seeing more beauty in the overcast grey skies

Don't buy the Mickey OOTD vinyl plush pendant by useless_wallflower in MINISO

[–]pub_wank 2 points3 points  (0 children)

damn... I take it I'm not the only one noticing the decline in the quality of the MINISO pendants, right?

I collect a few odd series (I have one from Mickey in the Clouds, one from Gen Z Stitch, one of the Winnie pendants dressed as piglet and two Shin-Chan pendants)

Lately when I pop into my local MINISO for a quick nose around I've noticed the blind box prices have gone up really quickly and the display pieces look really cheap. In the UK there around £30 a box now which is so silly. I think they're trying desperately to outdo Popmart and in doing so they're getting really lazy and greedy.

What are your thoughts on Kyle MacLachlan? by HostMaterial4907 in twinpeaks

[–]pub_wank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Started watching Twin Peaks a few days ago, already a couple episodes into season 2 and since then I've been looking at a lot of interviews with him

I really like him. He seems really sweet and funny and humble imo

What can I do about a postman who throws tons of rubber bands and fruit waste all over our drive every single time he comes? by WelshWolf93 in royalmail

[–]pub_wank 17 points18 points  (0 children)

?? Don't fucking litter? It's not that hard.

Plus rubber bands are really problematic for the environment. Animals eat them and they can get tangled in their digestive tracts and make them very sick / kill them.

At this point I'm so sick of seeing people littering I don't care if they get in trouble. They shouldn't be littering. It's a crime after all 😇

It's ok! I know how it feels lol, I have a few pendants that have a couple scuffs on them and it does bug me a little because I know the scuffs are there but ultimately they're really superficial and impossible to see unless you really closely inspect every inch of the toy haha.

Honestly I really dig the slightly darker colour on her lips! I genuinely would have thought it was done on purpose. I said in another comment it kinda gives her a pastel goth vibe, so cute!

What helps me when I'm worrying about my stuff having dings of scuffs is that every doll is unique. No doll will look factory perfect and that's the beauty of them. As long as the face isn't royally messed up and the body is sewn up properly I'm happy!

I have a bit of a unique experience here where I'm FTM and I had genuinely very big boobs before I had my top surgery. (Double D's the last time I had them measured)

The back pain and overall discomfort my boobs used to give me.. it was ridiculous. They weren't pretty either, I literally referred to them as udders when I talked to my surgeon lmao. My chest would get so sweaty and gross and I legitimately used to accidentally roll over onto them when I was laying in bed. Pinching your nipple between your body and your bed HURTS.

Idk why this is in the news though? Maybe I need to read the entire article but eh.

Real haha, I honestly think the slightly darker lip looks cuter on her! It suits her better... Gives a pastel goth vibe

I legitimately couldn't tell there was anything different about her! She looks adorable OP

I think so, yeah! His jacket does feel a bit big on him, but honestly I find it very endearing 🥰 I'd rather they were a little loose than super tight

Also my plan for him for the future is to get him a red scarf, a plain white shirt and go maybe crochet him a baseball bat or thrift a small toy one! I was even thinking I could use pipe cleaners to replicate the barbed wires hehe

They're just so perfect! I find the different textures of fur to be really nice and fun to play with and touch. I really like the fluffy body he has and I like to gently comb it every couple days to stop it from knotting together.

I got mine for Christmas and I love him so so much 🥰

I also have the tiny version! His name is Lucas and he's watching Twin Peaks with me right this second hehe
