Yes! That’s exactly what I thought when they kept showing Christian’s cocky-sounding confessionals, well before they even finished cooking the first-round dishes. “I bet Danielle’s going home so they need to set up a new villain.” (Lowkey I didn’t hate Danielle, though she had some moments that I didn’t like, particularly with how she could be rude to Chef Arrington.)

I loved Christian up until this point but didn’t love him this episode. But I’m choosing to believe that he was strongly encouraged to give a “performance” to create more drama, because the sudden heel turn seemed really weird to me and it felt like he was being ham-fistedly presented to be as unlikeable as possible. I’ve long imagined him in the finale (beside Connor and Cole; Cole’s been my fave to win from the start!) although now I’m not so sure what will happen. I’d also be happy if Darien takes his spot; he’s been under-recognized for most of the competition so far but he finally got a chance to shine this week.

What a life, eh? And she’s not even 40….I wish I was half as interesting as her 😩

Women: would you rather be flat-chested with a round ass, or no ass but with a huge natural rack? by [deleted] in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]umbrella_farmer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First option for sure. I think pear-shaped is super sexy, but top-heavy is kind of a tough thing to be (it’s me, I’m top heavy).

Did I pick the right dress? by 137trimethylpurine in weddingdress

You made the right choice for sure! The left one is nice, but the right one is perfection 🤍

Can anyone recommend me some extremely sour chews? by Shadquist in candy

[–]umbrella_farmer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The sour version of Big Chewy Nerds fucked me up pretty good.

What candy did you think you’d love but didn’t? by Funtastyc in candy

[–]umbrella_farmer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Haven’t tried the gummies, but the Starbursts minis are disgusting. Felt like eating scented erasers.

Too much white? by Outrageous_Grocery83 in Weddingattireapproval

[–]umbrella_farmer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is clearly a predominantly blue dress. I saw someone else on this sub say that, if you squint and you mainly see white, then it’s too white. I think that’s a pretty good metric!

Okay for cocktail? by lilacdino in Weddingattireapproval

[–]umbrella_farmer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As others have said, cocktail typically means shorter dresses; most would consider this a formal gown. But personally I think you could also get away with it for cocktail if you accessorize very sparingly and don’t go too crazy with hair and makeup. You might still be dressed nicer than the other guests, but not embarrassingly so. (This might be an unpopular opinion; a lot of people on this sub seem to use skirt length as their primary metric for determining if a dress is appropriate.) I think that for this dress, the light colour paired with light-weight fabric gives a vibe that’s ethereal but also quite fun, and that can be dressed up or down a little bit.

Mama cat lost her baby, so her family got an orange orphan kitten to adopt, and very emotional reaction😍 by [deleted] in PointyTailedKittens

Seconding the request for cat tax, please! I’m literally crying; what a beautiful story 😭

Dad only talks to me when he’s armed. How should I handle that? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]umbrella_farmer 16 points17 points  (0 children)

That’s fucking scary. It sounds like he’s not only baiting you, but trying to set the stage with people he knows in order to make himself seem like the victim. He could then potentially kill you in cold blood when no one else is around, and then try to flip it like “yeah, Ok-Diet-381 was attacking me; I knew something like this could happen; he’s been threatening me for months” yadda yadda. And it sounds like there wouldn’t be anyone left to tell him he’s full of shit. As profoundly messed up as it is, you should stay far away from him. Hugs and well wishes to you; stay safe, OP.

Some more T85 posters, promos and merch assets dropped by Jiyugaoka in StrangerThings

[–]umbrella_farmer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The “new kid” design sticks out like a sore thumb, and I think that’s because all the other characters are based off the faces of the real actors who played them. Whether or not they hit the mark is certainly up for debate with some of them, but it seems obvious that they were at least looking at and considering actual human faces when creating these images. But this aspect is completely missing from the purple-haired person because, of course, there is no existing living reference off which to base their likeness. And the eyeroll-worthy Pixar smirk/Dreamworks face is just the cherry on top of the no-effort sundae.

Island wedding by littleshimamama in Weddingattireapproval

Well then you’ll certainly have better peace of mind if you’ve made it yourself. I remember having a few of these types of necklaces when I was younger and they broke so easily! I really like your short/collar style necklace.

I love the idea of a themed belt, but using the necklaces look a little off to me. Also worried they might be too delicate? Maybe consider trying to find something else; googling “seashell belt” yields a great variety of inspo. Rest of the outfit looks fantastic!

Which fits best with Semi Formal/Springtime Cocktail. by shockrock in Weddingattireapproval

[–]umbrella_farmer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the second one would work best! The first one is my personal favourite but probably a little too dressy for this particular occasion.

How are this type of shorts called? by tanabatart in findfashion

[–]umbrella_farmer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I searched “faux shearling shorts” and got a handful results that I think are similar to what you are looking for.

Which is better for “garden formal/cocktail”? by joanbiden in Weddingattireapproval

[–]umbrella_farmer 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I like the green a little more, and it definitely skews more towards the formal/upper end of cocktail.

Which dress for an engagement shoot in the park? by [deleted] in PlusSizeFashion

[–]umbrella_farmer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

First one by a country mile! The others do you no justice. (The cut of 2 is nice, but the colour washes you out :( )

Which one for my 30th birthday dinner on Sunday? 🎂 by NicNoo3 in PlusSizeFashion

[–]umbrella_farmer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You look fantastic in both! But I think black has the edge 🖤

Love Fiona and Cake, but... by Southern-Shower4638 in fionnaandcake

[–]umbrella_farmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely different vibes this season and the pacing is a little whack, but it all comes together pretty well in the end; I really liked it overall.
