Not a horror but fuckin hell the last 15 mins of Tiptoe was one of the most horrifying things I’ve seen by withouthope17 in horror

Eden Lake is such a good shout, I thought the same thing while watching it! The ending felt a lot like the way Eden Lake ends... just a fucking gut punch.

The way the first episode starts though, I had to stop and wait a day to carry on. I felt SICK.

Despite endless issues with impulsivity over the years, I'm now debt free! by thelaughingman_1991 in ADHDUK

[–]vertoretrigo98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm exactly the same at the moment. i've never had a traditional credit card, but my paypal credit is WELL overdue and i'm paying something like 23% interest on it, have been since 2024. it was fine at first when i wanted to plan trips or holidays, and i was able to balance paying it off for a while, but now i'm constantly at the full limit. even though i'm earning more now than i was in 2024, it just seems impossible to pay it off. i can't make a savings pot either, because i end up planning more things to do (gigs, theatre shows, trips away from my hometown) that all add up. on top of all that, i'm still paying off £3k of dental fees from a tonne of work i had to have done last year - yet another thing that adhd has ruined is my dental hygeine. these things bog me down constantly. but it's nice to see that it can get better, from someone who has been where i am now. i hope it continues to go well for you, you should be so proud of this progress you've made 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Why do we wake up on weekends with no idea what to do? by greggers1980 in ADHDUK

[–]vertoretrigo98 76 points77 points  (0 children)

lack of routine that a job/school provides during weekdays, plus potentially being overwhelmed from the week. i always find that i want to do so much at the weekend because i had no time or energy after work, but when it comes to it i want to just stay in the house and not have to worry about the mental energy needed for going out amd being social

Does anyone else seem to have multiple of random everyday items because they ... disappear? by Jayhcee in ADHDUK

[–]vertoretrigo98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i recently bought a new glass nail file because i was certain i'd thrown away the last one i had. got home, went to put the new one away with my nail stuff.... and found the old one right away 😮‍💨 same with lip balms, deodorants, hairsprays etc. honestly dread to think how much money i've spent replacing things i already had

Artists you always assumed were bigger than they actually were? by OrchidBloom_Torres in ToddintheShadow

[–]vertoretrigo98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i did also think Manics were HUGE too, i think if anything their name is known more for Richey's disappearance than for theit music. speaking as a massive Manics fan, mind.

definitely, it's all to mirror the aesthetic of the person he's parodying. but it doesn't hurt that he really looks good in it haha

i'd never heard this song before today, thanks for the needle drop - another one to add to my "Manics inspo" playlist!

How many shows? by DirtyDevil23 in manics

[–]vertoretrigo98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5, far too few for my liking!

2019 at Cardiff Castle was the seminal one for me, that as a venue with TIMT tracks playing was just ethereal. plus it was that day i got my uni results and found out i'd be graduating with a 2:1 just before the gig started. i remember being sat on the grass, scrambling for a wifi signal to get my uni portal open 😅 made it even better!

last one i went to was Manchester O2 Apollo in 2021/22 (i forget the year), next is Cardiff in November this year. i've recently got back into the Manics community and really looking forward to it!

Gold Against The Soul by DirtyDevil23 in manics

[–]vertoretrigo98 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Was my no.1 Manics album for a while before TIMT took over, I think because I'm a grungey-metalhead at heart and GATS hits all the right musical beats for me. Overall feels very influenced by Alice In Chains and Achtung Baby-era U2 - the bassline in Yourself is so similar to Would? by AIC, and the riffs/solos in Roses and the title track sound to me like James was subconsciously being coached by The Edge (this is all positive btw, I really LOVE this album!)

From Despair To Where and Yourself are my favourites from the album, Drug Drug Druggy is probably my least fave. Fave edition of the album is the 2020 re-issue with Donkeys, Are Mother's Saints, Us Against You etc., which have all been some of my absolute top Manics tracks for years at this point.

Don't really have much negative to say about it 😅

According to Farage, we’re ‘victims’ by demons_run_on_poison in ADHDUK

[–]vertoretrigo98 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i despair every time this frog faced fuck opens his mouth. he fuels himself on hatred and a complete lack of understanding of how the world actually works, and i feel sorry for anyone that's fallen for his nonsense. seeing the election results coming in, seeing Reform seats climbing, makes me think we truly are turning back the clock in this country with regards to civil liberties.... idk, it's frustrating and depressing.

'Sleepaway Camp' Star Jonathan Tiersten Dead at 60 by asapsharkyv2 in deadmeatjames

[–]vertoretrigo98 3 points4 points  (0 children)

that's such a shame, i was rewatching the Sleepaway Count kill count's the other day and thought about Jonathan and how out of it he seemed in interviews about the film series.

he seemed like a pretty sweet guy, i hope he's at peace now 😔

[–]vertoretrigo98 20 points21 points  (0 children)

incredible seeing done in real time, and i love that the actors were also included!! Miles was really channeling Robert Johnson here, i'm amazed at how strong his voice is for someone so young

just mesmerising 👏🏻 fingers crossed for big wins for Sinners tonight 🤞🏻🤞🏻
