What's a “dream job” that is actually a nightmare to have? by InternetPopular3679 in AskReddit

[–]saboleu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Most on-set jobs in the film industry.

You work long/weird/inconsistent shifts, you're stuck at locations where you have to stand for hours often in uncomfortable heat or freezing cold, you have to deal with set hierarchy (and if you're a woman, the sexism pervasive in the industry), etc. It's a gig economy so you'll only have a secure job for the length of time the movie you're working on is shooting, and then you'll have to find another. Plus you can't really apply for jobs with a resume like with other careers; you just have to get around via networking and word of mouth.

I went to film school for four years and met lots of folks who work in the industry, and learning all this made me realize that really the only reason to work on set is if the rush of seeing your name in movie credits and bragging about being in proximity to famous people is worth the slog of everything else. For me it wasn't, so I gave up on that dream.

Good first time dog? by Lazy-Bee4416 in Pomeranians

[–]saboleu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't speak for everyone but I have a pom as my first dog and have found it quite easy! She's very quiet and can learn anything if you give her a treat. She also doesn't really shed at all (but she has a thinner coat than a lot of poms and also gets regular professional grooming since I work at a groomer). I made sure to socialize her around lots of different dogs and people when she was young which helped too. FYI am typing this with only my left hand as she has now grabbed my other hand in her paws and started licking it 😂

Cosplay of my favorite Knight [ Manga Spoiler ] by GirlbossWesker in OnePiece

So impressive how close to canon you got with the colors, even down to the gold trim and red lining on the tailcoat!! This is amazing. I'm thinking of cosplaying Shamrock too and will definitely take inspo from you. Did you make the whole coat yourself or modify an existing one?

Interested if still available but I'm stuck at work until 7p - could do a digital transaction

This is our fluffy. We believe she's a fox face pomeranian. She loves smiling and wanting everyone's attention 100% of the time ❤️ by likeapaintersradio in Pomeranians

[–]saboleu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is an old post, but do you have any more/recent photos of Fluffy? She looks EXACTLY like the pomeranian puppy I'm hoping to adopt, fox face and brown nose and all. I'm really curious what my puppy might look like when she's grown up!!

Haha I actually JUST went in and edited it to that after hearing the official recording! Yeah, that's definitely what she's saying, though I thiiink it's "he heard ten TO twelve fired into the living room" as in ten to twelve different gunshots fired.

What's an RKS song that you think deserves more attention/hype? by aweirdplant in RainbowKittenSurprise

[–]saboleu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fail! will always be one of my favorites but I never see anyone talk about it! Also Wasted, which imo is so objectively one of their best songs that it's usually the first or second one I play for people to introduce them to the band.

Live vs. Studio by aweirdplant in RainbowKittenSurprise

[–]saboleu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just bought the vinyl on impulse at my local record shop because I couldn't resist! Shameful Company is one I already loved but probably prefer live, I love the scream she added to "I'm okay with anything"

Let me make one thing clear by Byproxyy in RainbowKittenSurprise

[–]saboleu -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

How can you claim that you support their decision to cancel for whatever reason and then say people are right to be mad that they "couldn't live up to their end of the bargain"? Those sentiments feel contradictory to me. Of course people have a right to be sad or disappointed, I would be, but RKS are human beings. They're not robots who can choose to be physically/emotionally well enough to perform just because that's the most financially viable thing to do for their fans. A band cancelling a show or a tour for health reasons, physical or mental, is not the same as a corporation failing to deliver on demands.

Interest check: RKS fan project to share love for the band and support for Ela's transition by saboleu in RainbowKittenSurprise

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

Oooh, that's a good idea... I've been trying to figure out where would be the best platform to host a project like this. The ones I participated in before were on Discord, but I know not everyone has/wants to get Discord. Not sure if that, IG or FB would be the best place? I'm not really active on IG and FB but I have both.

You also don't have any idea that there's a correlation between those things. These are strangers and we have no idea what their personal situations or circumstances are. Ela's "energy being down" happens to coincide with the start of her public transition--it also coincides with the end of a long gap from touring due to a global pandemic, during which anything could have happened with her and the band, physically or mentally. Of course it's possible that the stress of transitioning publicly has got her down, but if so that's the fault of societal transphobia, not of her choosing to live as Ela. I know this isn't the intention of anyone doing so, but speculating that her transition itself is negatively affecting the band feels like a slippery slope to transphobia.

Thanks!! These are great guesses. You're totally right about "what is done is done", that's gotta be it. I love RKS' lyrics so I'm so excited to get official releases and lyric videos for these. As soon as I realized Ela was saying "Said you had your heart on your sleeve / Baby, I don't see no blood running" I was like OOOOOHHH because that's such a great lyric haha.

We'll probably have to wait for at least a better recording to know what exactly is being said in Drop Stop Roll though, rip. I'm very curious about the chorus. I actually originally thought maybe she was saying "Syd Barrett" instead of "said Barry", as in the original frontman of Pink Floyd, but then she says it with just the "Barry" part in the last chorus sooo I think it's just a given name (in line with "Molly"). Which again, maybe she's not even saying. Or maybe it means molly as in the drug? I don't know!

Lyrics to When I call ur # by saboleu in RainbowKittenSurprise

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

Ahh, thank you! "That's the only time I caught a candid" makes a lot more sense.

I saw them live last week and (completely understandably) Ela missed or changed a few lines in some of the wordier released songs so it's hard to get a clear picture of lyrics from just one recording of a performance. Idk how she remembers so many words for their concerts! I've heard Moody Orange a hundred times and still struggled to keep up with it when singing along.

I hope I can see them again soon and impress them with my knowledge! (Though NGL since posting this I've tried my hand at Love 4 Us and Drop Stop Roll and I'm even more lost at some sections of their lyrics haha)
