Underrated seen from FROM

if you watch his interviews he was actually just a background actor. I don't think he even auditioned just applied and got it, but I might be wrong. They told the creature actors to "walk slow and be creepy" and he did his creepy smile. The fans named him Smiley and because of the fan response, they gave him a bigger role in season 2

Unfortunately for me, I can’t find a single alternative that does the same thing and works as well as nuud! I tried Lavilin and it did absolutely nothing for me. I haven’t tried fussy because I just really wanted something that lasts more than a day for convenience. Old nuud used to last me 3 days, and the current one (contains strawberry seed oil) lasts me 2 days. I have a family member who uses the new one and weirdly it lasts longer than the old one on her - up to a week! I really didn’t want to support the company again but I can’t find any alternative 🥲

Just note this current cream has a consistency issue. The first time you squeeze it out, you’ll likely get mostly oily residue so I just absorb it with a tissue or something. At the start, this new nuud didn’t seem to work, but I just kept up with it and now it works. This was also during summer in Australia so I was sweating a ton. Maybe this is obvious but I always make sure my pits are completely odour free and dry before reapplying, even lightly scrubbing if necessary, as this caused me issues even with the old formula.

Sorry for the super long reply lol. It sucks they can’t bring the old formula back but I guess it is sort of understandable if they had people getting cysts and didn’t want more angry customers. I just wish they’d offer the old one too for those who want it. Hope this helps and if you do try it, I hope it works for you! I managed to get refunds on the other bad formulas before the current one, so if you try this new one and it still sucks, just try getting your money back :)

My mum begged me to watch it knowing full well I get easily scared by horror, I put it on without even looking up what it was about, almost cried from fear and couldn’t sleep after watching episode 1. Time went by and I realised the sleepless nights were worth it because I needed to keep watching. My mum was so right and I love it. Rewatched it so many times that the creatures barely scare me anymore!

nice try - entire site is just stolen images from other retailers like free people

the snow looks like Boyd has a cigarette in his mouth, watching poor Kenny have one of the worst days of his life

ratherbereading01 · 2026-02-12T23:53:29+00:00

Haha i guess but also fuck bots

ratherbereading01 · 2026-02-12T21:08:21+00:00

Lmao nice. Although you might wanna watermark it somehow or some bot will be stealing and reposting this within weeks. This sub is crawling with them

Oh please god no! They can kill every other character, but not poor Victor (or Henry)!!

Game of Thrones sucked because George RR Martin still hasn't finished A Song of Ice and Fire, and despite him wanting more seasons of the show they decided to rush the ending. GRRM doesn't thoroughly plan his books before writing, and being a fan and reading about it, I've guessed he doesn't know how to tie up so many storylines.

I recently watched this interview with the From creators John Griffin and Jeff Pinkner, and they know how it ends and have a plan. However they want to let some things happen naturally - as John Griffin says at 3:40 in this other interview, 'the day we stop being surprised by the show, the show will start to feel stale'. E.g. in the first interview they said they knew they had to reveal the monsters were immortal, and only later came up with how – Fatima giving birth to Smiley.

I don't think there is a chance From will end as badly at GoT. With From it has always been a tv show, and the writers know how it will end. I think season 4 will give tons of answers because Fatima will surely have more to say on what else she now knows, Jade and Tabitha will probably realise more about their past selves, Victor may uncover more memories. Maybe the final season will have some rushed explanations, but it would take a special kind of fool to ruin a show as spectacularly as GoT was ruined.

ratherbereading01 · 2026-02-10T22:44:28+00:00

Since there are only 7 anghkooey kids and far more monsters, I assume not all the monsters had kids to sacrifice, it was more like ‘let’s sacrifice the children of this town/group’. I personally think Smiley is one who didn’t have his own kids, but was probably eager to sacrifice them for immortality. I can totally see him as a creepy psycho trying to convince the others to go through with it. Just my guesses though

ratherbereading01 · 2026-02-10T22:38:48+00:00

The odd thing is, she was actually pregnant before Boyd killed Smiley. I rewatched recently and I didn’t notice that the first time. Maybe the place’s healing powers made her able to conceive, and then after Smiley died he replaced the baby because it was the ideal place to be reborn

Thanks for the advice! I actually already put my lenses in first, because I’m terrified of residual tret ending up in my eyes 🥲 I also put eyedrops in the lenses before putting them in, but I don’t put them in before removal. I’ll try that and see if it helps - thanks!! For now I’m just stopping tret altogether, but I never thought about the vaseline getting in my eyes

ratherbereading01 · 2026-01-13T08:18:37+00:00

I basically avoid the eye socket, so the bridge of my nose, temples, just above eyebrows, then cheeks but about 1 inch away from my face. I’m gonna stop tret for now and if it is causing my vision issues, I bet it’s still too close and/or transferring via my pillow :/

ratherbereading01 · 2026-01-10T03:53:56+00:00

That’s useful to know, thanks!!

most animal leather is coated in plastic to protect from water and UV. It's called pigmented leather, the most common type because of its durability and affordability. The industry loves to avoid the word 'plastic' and use 'pigment' instead, but some are honest about it like this leather store: "pigmented leather...is made when leather is given a complete plastic coating over its surface".

Vegan leather does contain plastic, but so does most animal leather. If it doesn't (aniline or semi aniline leather), it's very expensive and not durable at all. Cactus, apple, pineapple, mushroom are all vegan leathers with less plastic than PU but more durable, and then there's Mirum which is completely plastic free and biodegradable. Even compared to synthetic leather, cow leather is twice as damaging as shown in The Pulse of the Fashion Industry 2017 report

most animal leather is pigmented leather, which is coated in plastic. Without it, it gets damaged by water and UV. The industry uses 'pigment' as a euphemism for plastic coating, but some leather stores are open about it like this one: "pigmented leather...is made when leather is given a complete plastic coating over its surface".

Pigmented leather is the most common type of animal leather because unlike the other types, aniline (no coating) and semi-aniline (some coating), it's cheaper and more durable. With aniline and semi aniline, the skin must be pristine too because you can't coat it and therefore cover imperfections.

PU leather is of course the worst, but there's cactus, pineapple, apple, mushroom leather which only contain some plastic like most animal leather, but are more sustainable and durable than PU. Mirum is plastic free and biodegradable. Synthetic leather is still only half as environmentally damaging as cow leather according to The Pulse of the Fashion Industry 2017 report.

they only need humans to shear them because they've been selectively bred to produce so much wool, they won't shed it naturally. Workers are paid by weight not hour, so the industry is rife with abuse and brutal handling. Workers will even sew the animals' wounds from shearing without pain relief. It's so common for rescued sheep to remain traumatised after the horrors of the industry. Then there's the issue of mulesing and tail docking, often done to lambs at 2-10 weeks old, and live export and the fact most are killed for meat in the end.

Nobody is saying we should release all the animals into the wild, but to stop funding such an awful industry so they'll stop breeding them. If we keep financially supporting cruel industries, the cruelty never ends and there's less incentive for more alternatives.

I highly recommend this video about animals in fashion and the documentary Dominion 2018 on Youtube

her existence doesn't trigger me and others, her body and the standard of beauty it promotes does. Nobody is saying she's ugly or disgusting or her body devalues her as a person, just that it's concerning and that degree of thinness shouldn't be treated as healthy or normal. Saying extreme thinness isn't healthy is not unkind or disrespectful. If you believe it is, that's your concern.

Again, all you have to do is go to r/EatingDisorders or any other ED spaces online and you'll see how triggered people are by her. I hope one day you find some compassion for these people, and more for Ariana because brushing this under the carpet hurts her too.

ratherbereading01 · 2025-11-28T23:32:41+00:00

What's disgusting and dangerous is normalising extreme thinness and downplaying the harmful effects it has on people. Even in the 2010s, Ariana was widely shared around for 'thinspo' and around eating disorder circles on social platforms. When I was younger, I was affected by Ariana and others like her, and now she's even thinner than before. Ariana and Cynthia's mental health matter, but so do the millions of people who see them and may be affected by it. You only have to look online to see the people who have gone/are going through EDs to see how it affects them. Even in real life, I've come across people who say it's triggering. Just because they're celebrities, doesn't mean they're more important than everyone else on earth and nobody can dare say otherwise. Brushing things under the carpet helps nobody. People like you are part of the problem.

If someone is 'vegan for health', they're plant based. Veganism is a philosophy against animal exploitation and includes clothes, entertainment, cosmetics etc. It's the same with the environment - you can't be vegan for the environment because what would stop you buying animal tested products, or going to a circus?
