Back from suicide attempt No. 2
2024.05.18 18:46 Dreary_Libido Back from suicide attempt No. 2
After a mentally hectic few days I rediscovered that my life is completely unsalvagable, that my dreams are each in their own way pathetic and unachievable, that true connection with others is objectively impossible, and additionally that I am completely and irreparably hideous. I thus resolved to end my own life post-haste.
Failing to account for my continued inability to do anything right, I survived with only a rather novel injury. For a brief moment it looked like I'd done it, and my sole sense was one of shocked relief. Alas, moments later fate proved me a fool. I'll present to the hospital in due time to make sure my vertebrae are all where they're meant to be, but in the meantime I am feeling much much better. Absolutely nothing has improved, but is has been a beautiful few days here, and nothing helps me dissociate from this ruined form like flowers in the sunshine. There is an explosion of colour outside. Hot, long, luminous days, and nothing to do except walk.
Shaved, need a haircut. A small light has returned to my eyes. When I see my little, shrewish face all bare, I feel as though I could have made it if only it were a few years earlier. Aspects of femininity play at certain parts of my face, like golden nymphs whose delight is to dance on the edges of one's vision, and to vanish when looked upon closely. There will only ever be a man in that mirror, but it seems Scroogely to dwell on such miseries when summer has come so fast and so ripe.
Still, as long as I am a man - and I will always be a man - self destruction remains inevitable. Do we suppose a cat has to kill herself nine times to finally be rid of this world? Such a process would surely give time for reflection, to puzzle through every reason to be, to reaffirm every reason to die, to brace herself for the fall each time all over again. I will be in that place again, some time, and I will make the right decision as many times as it takes. Still, for now the energy for suicide has all gone out of me. I await its return, like a surfer sitting patiently for want of a wave to ride.
I am not happy to be alive, but on days like this I am so happy to see the sun shine. For the moment - if only sailing on the temporary high of facing death and seeing pretty weather - we are so, so back.

2024.05.14 04:27 mykkelangelo I feel trapped and I'd like some advice on how to express myself.
I've gone through multiple fashion transitions from goth, punk, street, prep/surfer, to western attire.
I found my home in western wear, and I feel confident in my boots, buckle, and cowboy hat while rocking denim jeans everyday, and a pearl snap for the office and a columbia pfg for the lake.
Though I still feel caged to express freedom, rebellion, and overall Americana in my work environment (which is where I spend the majority of my life in). I work in manfucaturing/industry and in a desk job. The attire is fairly casual, where "shirt must be a collar" ends at that. I COULD wear my columbia pfg's everyday since they technically have a "collar" but the vibe doesn't feel right so I settle for my pearl snaps. I keep my hair fairly "traditional" and I try my best to conform to Northern dress attire. I already wear my boots, buckle, hat, and jeans everyday but I feel like I'm pushing it.
I want a mullet, or a haircut beyond this boring fade that expresses the carefree rebellious person that I am. I want to wear my fishing shirts, flannel, and relieve the suppression of my country/western attire that I feel at work.
I want to walk into work as a cowboy hat wearin, mullet rocking, columbia and wrangler reppin, ostrich quill boots wearin' SOB because that is who I am, but I fear that it might signficantly delay/end my career.
BUT...should I do it anyway?
TL;DR: I feel suppressed in my work environment and I want to take the plunge to fulfilling my look to represent how I feel everyday. Should I do it or is there other ways to work around it while staying professional?

2024.04.30 23:55 Nervous-Slice-6132 Where should I go for a surfer like hairstyle
I recently moved to Tempe and cannot find a hairstylist to get my haircut right. I usually rock medium/longer highly textured hair. Some may call it “surfer curtains”. However, i’ve already gotten 2 terrible haircuts that butchered my look. Can someone please point me in the direction of someone who can achieve this style correctly. Thank you :)

2024.04.21 16:13 Momoodr 2nd attempt at humanizing the mane 6
 | Astree ( means the starried one ) is Twilight. She’s a witchling. Inspired by Ghibli characters (example : Kiki’s Delivery Service titular character ) and Sailor Saturn ( the haircut ). Her clothing style is geeky, composed of movie/book/anime large shirts and cargo pants. submitted by Momoodr to mylittlepony [link] [comments] Rose ( means pink ) is Twilight. Her pose is modeled after Baby Spice. I think her clothing style would be similar to hers as well. Jo’ or Josephine is Applejack. I just liked that name. I debated giving her her hat or not, then I thought she’d just be silly like that, her friends would definitely make jokes about it. I still struggle with her design, I have a strong idea mentally but can’t seem to put it on paper. Helen ( from Helios, the sun ) is Rainbow Dash. Her clothing is inspired by Sporty Spice. I think she’s a jewelry fan, necklaces, bracelets. And probably loved piercings and tattoos as well. HC her as a surfer. Hilda ( means attractive, glamour ) is Rarity. Forgot to write Fluttershy’s name but it’s Philippine ( means horse lover ). Overall I like this 2nd attempt better, but I’m still struggling to figure out strong silhouettes, facial characteristics etc. |
2024.04.15 05:30 Personal_Handle5745 Hair advice needed
 | This is my current hair. The first picture is how I normally wear it, second pic is just to show the length, and third picture is just showing that it’s now just long enough to tie back. I’m looking for hair style and color recommendations. For a little backstory, last summer I accidentally burnt my hair to orange with sun-in as you can see (I was going for just some lighter highlights). I’m thinking of getting my hair professionally colored to a light brown but am open to any color suggestions. Originally I was going for a longer surfer hairstyle (like Marco Mignot) but am about ready to give up on growing it out because it’s in a weird in-between length right now. What hairstyles might suit me? Should I continue growing it out and realize my surfer dreams? Should I get a maintenance haircut? Thanks for everyone’s advice in advance :) submitted by Personal_Handle5745 to malehairadvice [link] [comments] |

2024.04.13 10:45 DSharma4 12/03 - 16/03: Piha, Waterfalls & Glowworms
 | The next installment. I wanted to visit the places in the Northland before Celine decided to pack in. Unfinished business... submitted by DSharma4 to isDevshort4something [link] [comments] 12/03 - early start waking up in the streets. In my car though. Made my way to the river walkway for the run. 1hr30 in the bag. Had to take a mini break to visit the gents. 10 mins later I was back in action. Little rain towards the end, didn't mind it. Rang home after before finding a toilet for a quick wash... Popped in main town Henderson. Ordered a full English. Man it went down a treat. Initially asked for a cup of chai... the size up was a bowl. Yes, a bowl. Didn't take much to persuade me to level up 🤣 Made it to Te Henga (Bethells Beach). Black squelchy sand. Soothing. Quick Kauri tree stop before starting a hike to Kitekite Falls just outside Piha. Headed to the top and pushed it a little far than I ordinarily would for a glimpse. The view from the bottom was better. Piha beach next... explored and walked up a large rock formation for a view across the coastline. Awesome. The best part was settling at Piha Motor Camp and meeting the manager (Fiona). She was unbelievably kind and generous. Faith in humanity being restored 😆 offered me a jar of tomatoes as a good will gesture after hearing my ordeal with Celine. I passed it on. Great showers too. Fiona's savvy and has limited shower time and saved 80% of water use. "Ladies take ages in the shower, limiting them has been a game changer" 🤣 13/03 - eased my way into the morning. A lovely with mum and dad whilst sat in my camping chair surrounded by ducks. Visited Karekare Falls - a steep little passage... I'd imagine most would miss it entirely. Made it across to French Bay and then to Maketu Falls. The latter was a lovely stroll through a forested area down some mudded steps to this peaceful stop. In these journals, I'm as honest as can be... I needed a no.2 desperately. We're talking turtle head stages. I dug a small hole, did my business and covered it back up. Before your mind starts wondering, I had wipes and hand sanitiser. A man's got to do what he's got to do 😅 Drove onto Hunua Falls. You can never see too many waterfalls. Stopped by a local restaurant for dinner. Fish and chips. A really cool vibe in Hunua Falls Café and Bar. I was initially driving to a campsite a 1hr drive away. After 10 mins, I thought what a waste of time that'd be... especially for tomorrow. Made the detour and parked up in a freedom site (car park). Squash club opposite - looked inside to find a club night session. Got asked to play, but politely declined... maybe another time. 14/03 - out for an interval session early doors. Cheered on by the local school children 🤣 although one rightly told me to not run in the road. Still did. Phoned home. Found a shower in a local aquatic centre. Made the visit - delightful. Drove towards Hamilton, stopping off for a chai and brunch. On renting the car, Dewan said "if you're ever neain Hamilton let me know and we can replace the stereo". Messaged and got sent to Mad Soundz. Spoke to James (the owner and an Englishman) and he sorted me out. New radio, recommendations and a good conversation with a humble guy. And the best part... I can use the stereo rather than the sorry sight of playing music out my phone... Moved onto Raglan next. Bit drizzly but it cleared up. It's got a Cornwall vibe - plenty of surfers and local businesses. Did a mini tour of the surf spots. Started at Ngarunui Beach, then Manu Bay Reserve, then Whale Bay. The latter was the best. One bloke was carving through waves with ease. Very impressive. I hadn't stretched since the morning and felt tight. Made a vow that I'd get back into the routine of stretching soon after a run. Habits. Rang Te Kopua Whanau Camp to sort out camping tonight. Reasonable prices too. Fancied eating out. Jo's Takeaway it was. Ordered a veggie burger, chips and broccoli bites. Saw a few guys playing football, walked over and asked to join. A local pick up game. Played barefoot with the others in boots. Didn't mind, enjoyed being back involved. Played decent too. Passing was surprisingly good. Although my shin felt rather sore. I think it was from the walk back in Henderson... Picked up the takeaway, ate and showered. Cold shower too. Getting used to them now. Settled in for the night. Fun day. 15/03 - slight lie in this morning. Shin felt rather sore. The football probably didn't help. Drove to Te Toto Gorge Lookout. Hobbled around seeing some outrageous views. What a start to the day. Fresh air. Powered onto Bridal Veil Falls. I was limping around feeling down. Life seems to have a way to put me back in line. I saw a handful of people. Of them, a man in a wheelchair and another who'd just torn his achilles. Humbled. It's not that bad in the grand scheme. The Falls certainly pictured a bridal veil. Awesome. Stopped by Otorohanga. Quick bite to eat... of course room for a chai. I'd be needing a cheap mirror for my haircuts... luckily found one in a $1 store. I was debating what to do for the remainder of the day. I thought why not check out Waitomo Caves. Bought a ticket at 4pm and made it there for my 5pm booking... A guided tour. And I seemed to book the perfect timing - no tourists 😍 our guide Freddie was superb. So enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the heritage and meaning of Waitomo. The main attraction are the glowworms. When the lights went out, we witnessed their beauty. I'd encourage anyone to see them. We learnt how they glow brighter... a freaky long sting. Hopped into the boat whilst Freddie pulled us along. Everyone was silent in awe. What an experience. Now for the drive to Little Waipa Reserve. A free site run by the district. Passed through Arapuni Dam. Spoke with an Italian couple whilst they (and me once) screamed nonsense to hear the echo. Rather enjoyed their chatter 🤣 Arrived in the dark, so opted for an Indian takeaway instead. How I've missed the cuisine. Back to Little Waipa for well earned kip. 16/03 - today was scheduled to be a driving heavy day. More as my shin was playing up and I wanted to rest before the hike tomorrow. Spent the morning chilling around the Reserve enjoying the bliss. Onto the road for 10am... The scenery was really pleasant on the eyes. After 2hrs, I made it to Whakamaru Dam. Stopped for a hobble of the view. Dam's are great 😏 on SH32, I stopped for a viewpoint. Wow. I'd be down that way in a day or two. By 1:45pm, I was nearing Tongariro National Park. My first thought: 'Celine would have no hope getting up these hills' whilst smiling to myself. Stopped over for fuel just outside of YHA National Park. Checked in soon after and cooked my infamous vegetarian burgers 😄 So why did I drive down here? You may remember my hike in Fansipan (Sa Pa, North Vietnam). I was due to see Lauren in Wellington for a gig... but couldn't get a ticket. Instead, we agreed to do a road trip with Natalia too. They'd been with a tour guide from the US (Wes), but they'd had enough of his chatter... and snoring 😅 The girls arrived 1hr after me. Caught up and dropped our bags in the room. Asked the lady at reception for advice on the Alpine Crossing. Whilst she was pointing to a map, a Welsh lad stood a little awkwardly waiting to get past... before saying "off to the pub, come join". Legend. After, we booked a 2 way bus and I rented a hiking pole... ironically more like a walking stick to the girls' amusement 🤦🏾♂️ We walked round the block before making an appearance in the pub. Will (Welsh lad) and his mate (Callum, from Bristol) were great. Proper characters. Loved a beverage and both so enthusiastic about landscaping/gardening. They'd met at university. We were joined by Alan - an engineer from Vancouver, Canada. Nearer to 40, but lovely. What did we have in common? All in the same dorm 🙏🏾 Alan was giving us some confidence about the Crossing. It felt like others were trying to make us anxious for no reason. Checked out of the pub to cut my hair (needed) and more needed, my beard. I'd left it for a while and it get too thick. Hacked away for over 1hr. Genuinely. Felt a million dollars after 🤣 cooked risotto and packed my bag for tomorrow. Time for rest before the activities commence... |
2024.04.05 18:34 throwawayyyy-101 Why is it nearly impossible for a Hispanic male to get a haircut without looking like a t-mobile store manager?
I struggled for years finding a haircut that doesn’t make me look like my fellow Southern California beans. I’m what they call white-washed so it doesn’t really suit me to walk around with a skin fade and part shaved into my hair lest my clothing get stained by hordes of hot Cheeto dusted fingers groping at me. Luckily, I talk like a surfer, I’m not short/fat, and I have shaggy hair and patchwork tattoos, so I’ve avoided this for the most part so far. I just hate being locked into one haircut. I feel like the alternative is just to buzz it all off since looking like a cholo will make me look dangerous and hopefully still attract white art hoes. The t-mobile look is like white girl repellant. Let me know if you guys have any other ideas.

2024.03.28 14:11 libananahammock Boys/men’s long haircut South Shore?
Where can I take my middle schooler to get a haircut on the south shore Nassau Suffolk border? Massapequa/Amityville/Copiague/Lindy area? He has shoulder blade length hair that’s thick with a slight curl. He wants a shorter cut like a surfer boy style so still long but just not nearly as long. I don’t know if regular barbers do this, if so I can just take him to where my other son goes but I wasn’t sure. His hair is super important to him and refused to cut it until now so I don’t want him to freak out if I take him somewhere and it gets messed up lol especially before Easter haha

2024.03.27 11:20 Ok_Lynx2564 Which hairstyle is most attractive on me?
 | I humbly ask your help in choosing my next hair style. I’ve previously had the flow, a buzz cut with a fade and am currently in between with a buzzed side part and need help deciding if I should cut it or let it grow. I’m a 28 year old man and feel like the buzz makes me look older and the flow gives off a surfer boy kind of vibe. I want to look my age and date older preferably, but let me know what you think or if you have other ideas. Thanks so much! I appreciate your opinions. There’s only two styles in the pictures the short hair with the fade and the flow haircut. I’ve just provided different angles of the flow. submitted by Ok_Lynx2564 to beauty [link] [comments] |
2024.02.23 21:05 Capable-Temporary997 My (24f) boyfriend (24m) think dating me is a "charity work"
This is a long and deeply sad experience I have had regarding me and my boyfriend. To start off, I should probably mention that this is my first ever relationship, so if I sound naive now, you know why.
Also throwaway, because I have some real life friends following me on my main. and the last thing I want is more people knowing About this. So for contax. I (24f) met my boyfriend (24m) E almost a year ago when I started working at a nearby school. We met at a coffee shop, but I started talking to him after a month; he was so pretty—the first thing I noticed about him. Just my type. But I am a very nervous and shy person, so I didn't do much, but sometimes I would look at him to see if he was there at the same time and as stupid as it sounds it made me happy. The day we spoke was when he offered to pay for my coffee because I forgot my card. I was getting nervous and anxious while holding people behind me; he noticed it and paid for me. We started talking afterwards.
We started out as friends, talking to each other over coffee every day. But the more I talked to him, the more I liked him. He was kind, caring and charismatic. and I felt comfortable talking to him. He asked me for my number, and I agreed, so we began texting and calling on our days off as well. It was honestly great; he made me feel loved. When he asked me to be his girlfriend, I was also very happy. Part of it was because I really liked him, but another was because I had never dated before, so I was excited. I feel so stupid now.
The school I work with has exam season, so I was super busy and couldn't see him, though I still text him regularly. A few months ago, I managed to finish work early and asked if he was free to grab food together. He told me he was busy. So I was hoping to surprise him with some takeout so we could eat lunch together, but when I went in, he was just chilling with one of his co-workers, a girl he introduced to. I didn't want to be controlling or accusatory, so I just left, feeling sad that he lied. I did mention it to him afterwards, but he just said that he was tired and they were with friends at work. So I drop it. It did happen a few times after this, but usually he would be more straightforward with me. He would sometimes cancel on me, but always figure out a way to make it up. So I genuinely believed he cared about me. That was up until a few weeks ago.
E has a habit of closing his phone screen but not ending the call. So usually I end the call because I trust him. He was going out with his friends and had called me before. We stayed together on the call; he was talking to me, and I listened because I liked his voice and I was interested in hearing about his day. I heard him changing, getting in his car, and staying with him till he showed up at his friend's house. He told me goodby before going in, but as always he forget to end the call.
I was going to end it, but the first thing I heard was someone saying, "Are you still with that weird teacher?" (referring to me). So I kept listening. His friends then began saying the most disgusting insults about me, and what did E do? He would laugh it off, but never defend me. At some point, I just began recording the call so I would make sure I heard it correctly. Of course, English isn't our first language, so this is just my translation of what I heard.
To put it simply, E only began dating me because he couldn't move on from his ex, whom he introduced me to as friends (they both work at the same place). He noticed how I would always check him out, but I wasn't really his type. He talked to me because I always looked lonely and began dating me because I apparently "kept talking about how I had never been in a relationship and felt lonely." (Btw, I didn't; I only mentioned that I never dated, and that's because he said something about relating to dates and relationships.) But it gets so much worse because that's when his friends began insulting me. So here is what they say:
That one broke me. But wait, it gets worse, because apparently he is planning to break up with me by the end of the year regardless.
I still haven't confronted him, nor did I say anything. I just stopped texting him or answering his calls. I just say I'm busy and he believes me, or he doesn't care to ask. I just don't know what to do. At this point if I didn't hear the recording over and over again, I would think it was a dream. because the E that I know isn't like that. I just feel this isn't really happing, maybe he spoke about someone else? but he mentioned my name multiple times. This hurts, and it stinks. I really don't know what to do or how to move on. He is my first boyfriend, he is always so kind and thoughtful with me. He even got into the game I like because he wanted to play with me. This is so frustrating. I guess I should break up with him, but I can't. A part of me wants to try and change (Maybe lose the weight or get a haircut) to make him stay, but I feel like that's not healthy for me mentally. I'm just lost, so any advice would be helpful.
Edit/mini update:
So I been really not responding to his text as I used for the past week. I also haven't answered his calls at all. And he is bugging me about it. Saying that's he wants to see me and he misses me and he wants to drive home to my town. The "I'm busy with work" excuse is not working anymore. Do I finally confront him? I really hate how I don't want to break up over this, bc I like him a lot. But, I been so depressed and numb this past week because of what I heard. Also since I've been so cold and distant these past few days he has been texting and calling me more...
Small problem: I just remembered my account after I saw those subway surfers gameplay with a reddit story in the background. I came to update, but I can't, since i barely use the app. so, if someone know: how to do post an update? it would be nice to tell me.

He noticed how I would always check him out, but I wasn't really his type. He talked to me because I always looked lonely and began dating me because I apparently "kept talking about how I had never been in a relationship and felt lonely." (Btw, I didn't; I only mentioned that I never dated, and that's because he said something about relating to dates and relationships.) But it gets so much worse because that's when his friends began insulting me. So here is what they say:
- I have an okay face but i have a body of a man?
- I have the weirdest interest and personalty.
- I'm creepy
- my voice is annoying
- i should wear oversized jacket to cover my men-like chest and okay boobs.
- lower Belly fat makes me look like a deflated pregnant woman.
- it's good that I'm introvert and leave early because it's feels off whenever I'm around.
- he downgrade from his ex
- my hair need a cut, or to be burned down.
That one broke me. But wait, it gets worse, because apparently he is planning to break up with me by the end of the year regardless.
I still haven't confronted him, nor did I say anything. I just stopped texting him or answering his calls. I just say I'm busy and he believes me, or he doesn't care to ask. I just don't know what to do. At this point if I didn't hear the recording over and over again, I would think it was a dream. because the E that I know isn't like that. I just feel this isn't really happing, maybe he spoke about someone else? but he mentioned my name multiple times. This hurts, and it stinks. I really don't know what to do or how to move on. He is my first boyfriend, he is always so kind and thoughtful with me. He even got into the game I like because he wanted to play with me. This is so frustrating. I guess I should break up with him, but I can't. A part of me wants to try and change (Maybe lose the weight or get a haircut) to make him stay, but I feel like that's not healthy for me mentally. I'm just lost, so any advice would be helpful.
Edit/mini update:
So I been really not responding to his text as I used for the past week. I also haven't answered his calls at all. And he is bugging me about it. Saying that's he wants to see me and he misses me and he wants to drive home to my town. The "I'm busy with work" excuse is not working anymore. Do I finally confront him? I really hate how I don't want to break up over this, bc I like him a lot. But, I been so depressed and numb this past week because of what I heard. Also since I've been so cold and distant these past few days he has been texting and calling me more...
Small problem: I just remembered my account after I saw those subway surfers gameplay with a reddit story in the background. I came to update, but I can't, since i barely use the app. so, if someone know: how to do post an update? it would be nice to tell me.
2024.02.17 06:22 PsychologicalTrain I'm tired of bad haircuts....
I don't need any help being ugly.
I have now had 5 awful haircuts in Denver. I'm looking for someone that can do an 80s style mens feathered/surfer cut. I have to wait 7-8 months to grow it out long enough after each bad cut. Who in town can do this without fucking up?

2024.02.15 03:17 -Fellaini- Big forehead and pertruding ears😨
Guys. I dunno what i should do. My hair looks like a birds nest rn. I basically need a haircut that sort of covers my forehead and at least the upper half of my ears. And to make it all easier I have the straightest, blondest, thinnest hair on the planet. Also a slightly above average size head.
Rn I kinda of look like a surfer version of Jeffrey dahmer and that’s not really what I want. I understand it isn’t easy with no pictures but don’t wanna post my face u know. Would love any advice on possible haircuts. Thanks in advance

2024.02.08 21:10 msvictora Barber for 14yr old son
I’ve done a lot of googling and am looking for any recommendations.
I have an 8th grader whose hair is very, VERY important to him. We currently go to Roosters but she does mostly trims and tries to figure out what he wants but he wants a little more and I’m thinking a male barber might be better.
From all my mom research I think he has a sort of middle part flow with some surfer curtain bangs. So it’s not your typical short cut with fade that I see in the pics on the websites. It’s that longer style but cannot be too short or tapered or my mornings are ruined and he’ll beg to stay home because he cannot be seen in public.
There has to be a barber around the St Paul/Eastside that does this. I’ve scoured websites and profiles and just don’t see his type of haircut and there are hundreds of boys at school with this style so I know there’s a barber out there for him.
I’d appreciate any suggestions!

2024.02.06 13:28 blueregarde Observations and Storyline Plot Holes?
Hey yall, this is my 3rd or 4th time rewatching and binge watching The Fosters, LMAO. I tried posting this in the old the fosters forum, but as soon as I wanted to click POST, it said the forum was inactive??
I just wanted to write out some plot holes, story lines, or observations that I thought about that seemed funny or kind of "why didnt that person just do the obvious action" to the solution to a problem.
SEASON 2 - Whenever Mike shot Ana's boyfriend at the trap house trying to look for Jesus. Jesus took Ana to a woman's shelter and was not present during the shooting. The story line then progresses to Ana telling the cops and investigators that she WAS there, but in a different room. This puts Mike and Stef's job position in Jeopardy, but... WHY DIDNT JESUS GET QUESTIONED??? He was LITERALLY the one and only person that would have to testify because that was literally the truth. Instead, they had this huge back and forth, he said she said 2-3 episode long ordeal.
SEASON 3 - Obviously, the recasting of Jesus LMFAO I understand that not all actors or actresses who replace another person are going to have the same vibe, but jeez, his entire personality is different!! Jake Austin had this bad boy, charming and playful teen boy vibe to him, the way he looked, spoke, carried himself, everything. Noah Centineo just carries himself around like a quiet, shy, "gentle giant" kind of vibe. There's nothing conventionally "sexy" or "charming" about him that Jake Austin had.
With that being said, his clothing doesn't match his body type. It's almost like he should have came back with a different clothing aesthetic too. Jake Austin had the right look and body type for the vans, board shorts, tank top, skater surfer vibe. Noah just seems like the kind of guy who should just be wearing baggy sweatshirts, hoodies, "straight legged" jeans, boots, etc.
ALSO in Season 3 - NICK????????????????????????????????????? WHY DOES HE LOOK LIKE HES 28 YEARS OLD????? Granted, his acting is AMAZING. He REALLY portrayed the "crazy white kid thats about to shoot up the school and his father beats him" kid stereotype. BUT JEEZ I WISH THEY HAD FOUND SOMEONE THAT AT LEAST LOOKS LIKE HE'S STILL IN HIGH SCHOOL LMFAO???
So far I'm in the beginning-ish of Season 4. I don't remember too much of what's to come. They just introduced Aaron and I'm shipping AJ and Callie. I have a feeling there's going to be a few more significant others for both Brandon and Callie, but I forget who.
Edit: I had to draft and post this in a new forum because the old one was inactive.
SEASON 5: Of course, the ending - they aged everyone 4-5 years straight I believe? Since Jude graduated HS and was a freshman in College? I think they should have allowed Jesus and Brandon to grow out a LITTLE facial hair and maybe make-up'd some stubble on Jude. It was a definitely a bold decision to put 16 year old actor Jude in "College" for the plot line because they needed to speed some things up since it was coming to an end, but the last few episodes just needed a touch of convincing or a little more evidence of time passing by, instead of just a haircut from Callie and Brandon parting his hair to the side. Same with Stef and Lena. I think the writers got desperate and lazy at the end.
Anyways, feel free to add in your observations and anything else that seems .. Out of place? A plot hole maybe? Things you didnt notice the first time around watching, or things that blatantly just didnt make sense.

2024.01.17 02:14 JRR____Tokin [TOMT] [Instagram] Help me find a particular mullet wearing Australian surfer Instagram account?
I remember the guy was tan with a dirty blond mullet style haircut (most likely a mustache too). He seemed like a surfer. The only video I remember is him doing a humorous comparison between a guy going for an early morning run verse the guy walking back from a party.

2024.01.14 23:29 SLEG48 I don’t quite understand why people thought ___ would win
I like Wayne’s ending, but I’m not here shut down criticism on it, I just believe that Julia’s cheating and villainy meant she was never going to win.
Everybody knows that the good guy always wins in the end, specifically in these shows. I’m a bit surprised that people genuinely thought Julia would win the season, and now that she didn’t win–since apparently, winning is the end all, be all, most important part of the show and the characters–her fans are up in arms because she “deserved” it, even though she blatantly cheated thrice in a row.
I agree that she had very good gameplay this season, but that doesn’t mean she “deserves” to win. In fact, I would say the cheating almost automatically disqualified her, MK, and Bowie from winning since they benefitted from it three times. All a character has to do to win Total Drama is survive until the finale and win the final challenge (or get the most votes to win, in the case of Beth and Duncan). In my opinion, any character who wins deserved to win. That victory doesn’t make the character the most strategic, the most cunning, the most athletic, the most intelligent, the kindest, or the cruelest, it just makes him or her the winner.
Plot relevance, unless we talk about the character’s status as villain or hero, also has little to do with how far you get, I feel. Plenty of supporting characters or comic-relief characters have enjoyed late-game storylines that propel them into the win:
Most rebuttals in the comments will likely talk about the Aleheather finale with two of Total Drama’s biggest villains. However, I argue that Heather served as the underdog in World Tour–disliked by her teammates and the others, constantly needing to win to avoid elimination, being the least mean version of herself that season, trying to warn everyone about Alejandro, continuing to have rare moments of kindness like towards DJ or Sierra when she went bald, etc. Everyone cheered her on the finale because for once, Heather was the hero against the male version of her that was manipulative and sadistic.
Even in the end, Heather’s mean girl attitude from the last two seasons was punished when she lost her prize money. And in the ending in which Alejandro wins, he does not even get to enjoy the victory for even a brief moment before he loses the money, is burned to a crisp, and imprisoned in a robot suit like William Afton (just kidding, but I kinda saw a similarity) for a year.
I wish everyone didn’t see a character winning as the end all, be all, as well as not blindly hinging a season’s quality on who wins. Can’t we just enjoy our characters, even when they’re eliminated, and even when they’re villains? As the main antagonist for two seasons straight, Julia was essentially banned from getting a winner’s VIP pass. I’m honestly surprised she didn’t get worse than a bad haircut in the end, because Total Drama usually has fun with the ending karma of their villains. Trauma Chair Scott, Bald Heather, Robot Alejandro, I’m looking at you guys.
Small exception to Damien, who I think got the most “yikes” elimination of the season–seriously, can someone check on that dude? Julia basically played him like a fiddle then tossed him in the garbage when the strings broke…

- Beth learning to stand up for herself and defeat Courtney in Action–a sort of continuation of her defying bullies like with Heather from last season.
- Lightning needing to win to save his father’s championship rings and earn his approval.
- The Surfer Bros, as the nicest of the few remaining duos, returning to pull off a late-stage victory against the meanest duo, the Ice Dancers.

2023.12.21 23:44 ExcitingLeave4693 Low Maintenance Curls
 | My entire life I struggled with my curly hair; I grew up coastal, always in the ocean, so I just embraced the long surfer hair situation. As I got older I felt like I needed a change and was frankly pretty annoyed with my sometimes wild looking hair. After lurking this Reddit for so long I decided to commit to change and got a pretty significant haircut (chopped a foot of hair off, got layers and bangs). I finally learned from the curly stylist I went to how to realistically maintain my curls while not putting too much time and effort into it! submitted by ExcitingLeave4693 to curlyhair [link] [comments] I do want to preface this by saying I have Innersense products and love them overall… they are the products the stylist suggested and, despite their price, I figured I could get my routine figured out with these suggested products and then find cheaper alternatives overtime once I felt more confident with my routine. So I list the Innersense products and alternatives below! Routine: Shampoo and Conditioner: I love Innersense Clarity shampoo and Conditioner but it is SO expensive. So I use that on and off with Giovanni Eco Chic Shampoo and Conditioner. I probably use Giovanni 80% of the time and Innersense 20%. Honestly once I run out of Innersense I probably will just stick with Giovanni unless I see a significant difference over time. I brush my hair out in shower after conditioning. After shower: Scrunch hair with towel for a minute to remove excess moisture so it’s not dripping wet. Scrunch in 1. Shea Moisture Coconut Hibiscus defining styling gel from ends up towards scalp. I also have the Innersense “I create Hold” gel but I honestly think the shea moisture gel sits better on the hair. I use a quarter size dollop on each “side” of my hair when I part it down the middle. And then for my bangs I use maybe a dime or smaller dollop. 2. Scrunch in Innersense Serenity Smoothing cream in same way. The cheaper brand I use is Shea Moisture curl enhancing smoothie - same results! If I want to add some volume (I did in the after photo) I’ll rake in some volumizing foam. I have the Innersense “I create Lift” volumizing foam. I’ve also used Davines volumizing foam and get same results. Haven’t explored a cheaper alternative yet because I go through these products so slowly since I don’t use them often. After all that’s done I diffuse my hair by scrunching half my hair on one side of my head up, turning the blow dryer on for 10 seconds, then turning it off and letting curls down. I do that on either side, then my bangs, basically until my curls are dry enough that my bangs aren’t in front of my eyes haha. Then I just let them air dry the rest of the way. I STRONGLY feel that the hair drye diffuser you use makes a HUGE difference with the level of frizz you get. I used an old dryediffuser combo and my curls would be so frizzy l because the diffuser didn’t really work. I now use this $40 dryediffuser from Amazon and it’s incredible the difference: Confu Fashion Style Blow Dryer + Diffuser. The whole process maybe takes 15 minutes for me after I get out of the shower. On days I don’t shower, if I want to touch up my curls, I just wet my hair in the sink, reapply some of the shea moisture curl gel, and then diffuse again. This usually goes a lot faster because the hair isn’t saturated like it is coming out of the shower! Please feel free to ask me anything! |

2023.11.19 21:17 xxthegirlwhowaitedxx [TOMT] [show?] ice skater who performed to macho man.
There was an ice skater that did a performance to the song macho man. It was likely in the 90s or mayyyyybe the early 2000s. I think it was for the Olympics, it was aired on TV and I do t think my parents watched ice skating other than for the Olympics. I think he was from the USA, he wore a Hawaiian shirt and had a blonde shaggy surfer type haircut for the performance. Maybe a sweatband as well?
