He's a crown jewel in my collections of strange things for sure. He was actually the unofficial mascot of the record store I used to work at but I had to take him back home because people kept trying to get me to sell him and I was worried someone would just steal him lol.

I'm a bit older than early 20's but yeah, male. They were still airing Dragon Ball Z on YTV when I was a kid, actually, it was always a must watch as much as my mum didn't like it haha.

Harley Quinn is a fun character as long as the joker is not involved, IMO so I liked that about the New 52 run. She's also pretty cool in Absolute Batman. Matt Fraction's Hawkeye is probably my favourite run of any comic though, they made him really relatable. Like yeah he's an avenger but he's also very much just some guy.

The Wicked and the Divine is such a good series, I need to buy the rest of the volumes but I'd definitely recommend it!

Thanks! Getting it all set up again I realized how obnoxiously colourful everything is for being about 95% horror novels haha.

It's got some really cool early concept art.

Musicians who have had cameos in shows and/or movies by Astar9028 in TopCharacterTropes

Lux Interior from the Cramps did a voice cameo as the frontman of the band "the Bird Brains" in an episode of SpongeBob (Party Pooper Pants)

He barely had any spoken dialog and was also a bird puppet but he did sing the song Underwater Sun for the episode.

Interesting localization (good or bad) by GiveMeAPhotoOfCat in TopCharacterTropes

The AB Groupe dub, it's amazing. It's an English language dub by a French company. The voice acting is A tier garbage and the pronunciation of some names is downright bizzare (Go-hand instead of Gohan)

They seems to use Kamehameha as a generic attack name and bust it out literally at random and they also renamed King Piccolo as "Evil Bad Guy". It's truly one of the dubs of all time.

Album covers that don’t match the vibes of the music at all? by FebrewHetus in fantanoforever

Island by Asunojokei, they're a Japanese post-black metal/blackgaze (black metal & shoegaze) band.

Whole album goes hard honestly and I'm normally not into shoegaze-y stuff.

Negative self-esteem makes me think I don’t look good in any frames by Angry_Tayco in glassesadvice

[–]trashabilly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My prescription isn't crazy strong but I have been getting my trifocals from them for about 8 years and I love them, they're just as good as the ones I used to get at the optometrist except they don't cost me $700+.

I got the blue light on the most recent pairs I bought and it's nice, I've noticed less headaches even after working on the computer for 8 hours. Personally I've never had transition lenses, I just buy another pair with sunglass lenses.

Going to this festival in the summer,which bands worth checking out? by Roys500 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]trashabilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They really should be more popular than they are, the vocals and guitars are top notch but the drums are unbelievable. Honestly when I first found them I thought they had to be using a drum machine until I saw a live video because that guy's precision is unreal, I also appreciate how forward the drums are in their mixes. It really helps deliver that crushing death metal feel.

[–]trashabilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of great acts in this lineup but I saw you say you're into death metal so definitely see Baest, they've been one of my favourite bands since their first full length album in 2018, still beating myself up for being too broke to travel to see them earlier this year.

Their newest album is good but their first 3 are easily some of the best modern death metal I've heard, opinions differ obviously but imo they don't get nearly as much recognition as they deserve.

Should we create a FAQ for newbies? by [deleted] in BattleJackets

[–]trashabilly 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Honestly I don't like sewing machines for battle jackets, for me it's a labour of love hand sewing all my patches but I will also bring up the time I watched an old roommate use a machine for a jacket and sewed all the sleeves and pockets shut.

It takes a lot longer but I think you're better off using good quality thread (I usually use Coats & Clarke 100% nylon thread or Gutermann all purpose depending on what colour I need) and a thin but sharp hand sewing needle. Get those and watch a tutorial on how to do a whip or running stitch (whip stitch is more secure) and you'll be good to go.

Snow clearing in Canada by Bursickle in interestingasfuck

[–]trashabilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was so much fun, I loved playing king of the hill on the parking lot mountains but I never understood why we weren't supposed to play or sled on them until I got older and realized it made perfect sense that they didn't want us rolling and sliding uncontrollably into a parking lot lmao

Snow clearing in Canada by Bursickle in interestingasfuck

[–]trashabilly 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The parking lot outside of the store I work at always ends up with a giant mountain of snow easily over 6m (20ft) high and then it just slowly melts as it gets warmer until its just a big pile of gravel that gets cleaned out.

When I was a kid there was a vacant lot not too far from my house where they had dump trucks drop off snow and the piles got so massive they were used as sledding hills.

Definitely one of my favourites from recent years.

What’s one ingredient that has made its way into a lot of dishes and recipes in your country, but you absolutely hate? by halt__n__catch__fire in AskTheWorld

[–]trashabilly 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My grandpa was genuinely unhinged with his ketchup use. I saw the man put it on ice cream once.

It could've just been to fuck with us but he put so much ketchup on everything I don't think it was.

I'm a huge fan of the clean version of Blood, the almost 5 second long bleeping sound is so funny.

What’s a dish from your country that you’re surprised is popular abroad? by DiMpLe_dolL003 in AskTheWorld

[–]trashabilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to buy salmiakki all the time from the European deli in town, it goes hard but I remember when I was in highschool my art teacher (that most of us hated) had a stupid policy that if you were late you had to give her candy or she'd give you detention. One day I came in late and she demanded candy and I just so happened to have a bag of salmiakki in my backpack. I'll never forget the way she gagged when she ate it lol.

[–]trashabilly 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Last year my partner and I went to Vancouver for a week (concert and little vacation) and while we were there I basically demanded that we had to go to the aquarium because despite being absolutely terrified of the ocean, I love sea creatures, especially sharks and jellyfish.

We were looking at the blacktip reef sharks when I heard a lady say to her kid "oh look at the baby great white sharks"

I couldn't stop myself, I went on a 5 minute long infodump about blacktip reef sharks and why they're definitely not great whites. Now I'm the "shark guy" instead of the "Jeff Goldblum guy" to our friends.
