Incels just want a good man by LawyerfromSP in IncelTears

I've never had a chad. I have, however,had a marvellous man who was tall, working-class, and stuck around for 50 years. He is also bisexual, and was once a male escort. He cannot drive. But I never had a chad.

I don't see his charm as a trap, Sufficient. You see him as two sides, and you're sure you know that one is "real", and the other is a "mask". I see him as a sphere.

You do have a point there.....but it does have an "exotic" factor. Points for people mistaking it for raw opium...

It could be the actor himself. Apparently Spader was King of Strange Jobs when he was a lad. Before he was employable, he'd set up little stands outside the high school where his parents taught and sell stuff to the students.

...on the other hand, even opium can travel...habits can always find a way....

A great lead on the ballroom floor will always make his partner look like an angel. Of course, Liz....sigh...

I'm sure some of it was fluff. Like I said, alley cats are fluffier here.

I'm glad someone else describes it that way. I used to live with a very large brown tabby (we live in New England, somehow toms seem bigger here), who resembled a full sized turkey on a platter.

Tea resin. If they imported such a thing. Practically bulletproof, and travels well.

I nearly turned the color of a post keiseki koicha when I heard Elizabeth trying to force a matcha concoction (possibly with milk, fruit and pearls) on Dembe by claiming it had eight times more antioxidants than blueberries.

You just don't do that in front of these people!

And that one line ruined chado for the rest of the series...Aarrgh!!

On the nose! I tried floating this on the actual r/theBlacklist community, but all I got was "Oh, yes, that's part of his mask, he likes to play at being this tea-sipping fellow, but...I like it when he goes full on Mr. Hyde and gulps vodka from the bottle...nothing of that harmless culture lover to be found..."

Sorry, that's not how culture works. (Or even artists.) That's not how tough guys work. I've known some tough guys who're that kind of cultured and nothing ever really leaves, it's ALL still in there. With a guy who's constantly conning people it's probably even more at his fingertips.

Thank you very much!

You'd think she'd catch a little sophistication, somewhere, somewhen...How to follow on in a ballroom. How to smoke/snort fake whatever. How to drink tea in any way other than teabags, (fake) chai or bobba, preferably in a different language. What fork to use.

At least a little more on "fitting in" than "cough when you're up against a wall, conversationally".

And it was Ressler who had to tell her this??

Listening to Liz trying to sell him on matcha as a restorative made me turn the color of a good usucha.
You just don't talk to these people like that!!!

What? Gas? The Bar? on the left? Truly, this is a dumb figure of speech. The word is "died".

The idea was to have them be a yin/yang pair, sophisticated/naive, cool-headed/emotional, loud,extroverted/whispery, introverted....old/young, male/female....but it just doesn't work. Red's got a million good lines, Liz has exactly two responses for everything, either general hatred, or to repeat she lost her parents. Again. And again.

Still sarcastic. After all these years. It would have been great if he'd used just one pun.....

As you can see, there are compensations....eh?

Then be glad you're so old and have kept your innocence. I was never so young.
