Who do you picture while listening

For Arthur I jump between Leon Kennedy and John Constantine tbh. Leon cuz apparently Arthur is good to go after being horribly mutilated or injured with just some bandages or whatever and Constantine just cuz he’s British I guess

DDL as Bill the Butcher for, you guessed it, the Butcher. The irony is not lost on me btw, and why is a man dressed in flamboyant 1860s garb and a top hat running around in 1930s NY, I can’t say. But cmon, the face and attitude just fits

Relistening to season 3 with the context of the rest of the series is actually really funny

Idk about you guys but I did not trust John at all when they were finally reunited in s3. I figured either he’s up to something like maybe found a way to separate from Arthur at a great cost or his heart is still in the right place but he’s going about it all wrong. But obviously he’s been hiding something

And Arthur is so broken by this point that he’s on a suicide mission to kill this random guy he literally just met (obviously there’s a whole bunch of other shit going on with him, but let’s just do the surface level take here) and John just shows up to all this without any context

While relistening , I realized that Arthur had been separated from John and dealing with yellow for all of like, two nights? 48 hours more or less

Later we find out that John has been fighting with the king this whole time only to be casted out to the dark world again. Idk how much time passed for him, we know time moves differently between the dreamlands, dark world and the real world, but I imagine some decades or centuries?

The king isn’t going to give up on John so easily, not after the lengths he’s been through to get that missing piece back, and how long does it take to kill tens of thousands of Arthurs anyway? So I think it’s fair to say that John has been away for quite awhile

So imagine going through all that, fighting back with everything you got, losing anyway, hitting rock bottom and finally getting reunited with your friend only to come back to getting thrown down another fucking hole in a cave again

Idk it’s just hilarious

Audio dramas with small, tight casts?

I’m talking about 1 or 2 main characters are like 90% of the focus.

Between being a bit hard of hearing and mostly listening through my shitty car stereo while I’m driving I just have a hard time keeping track of a huge ensemble.

My top 2 so far are

Magnus Archives - at least the first 50-75%. Seeing the overarching plot slowly unfold and making the connections between different episodes was really cool, but I did lose some interest when the rest of the institute members became more prominent tbh

Malevolent - just two guys on a different adventure every day, who or what will they be up against this time. Same with TMA, more of a cast developed as the plot progressed, but the core focus are the two MC’s so it worked for me

Others I’ve listened to, but couldn’t really get into

I am in Eskew, really interesting but a bit too bleak. I also didn’t really like how the protag didn’t really feel like a character, just someone that things happened to which I get was the point, but idk, I want to care about and get attached to the protagonist

Welcome to Nightvale, I’ve tried like 3 times. On paper it sounds like it’d be right up my alley, but it just will not click with me

Ghost Wax, voice acting just took me out of it, but I may need to revisit

We can do low effort memes here, yeah?

I’m on the last episode of Malevolent and don’t know what to do with myself

Romanian? In my baldur’s gate?

This is the first time I actually used Gale’s pouch to snatch him out from the fugue plane instead of just a revivify scroll I already had on hand. Idk what else that mephit was talking about, but the very last line sounded a lot like “mulțumesc” which is “thank you” in Romanian. It fits with the context of the scene so I’m just gonna go on ahead and pretend that’s what he meant

Hives? Bug bites? Allergic reaction? Tiny red bumps, but no itch/pain

Hey y’all, lemme preface this by saying I have a dr appointment tomorrow to get this checked, but after some light googling (don’t do this) I’m now convinced it’s leukemia and need someone to talk me down lol

Woke up with these Sat morning, not sure what could’ve caused them. Thing is, they’re not itchy or painful at all and I didn’t even notice them until I was getting dressed so I feel like that takes a lot of possibilities out of consideration.

I’m leaning towards hives, I’ve always had very reactive/sensitive skin, but nothing like this has ever happened. It definitely gets worse with heat. By Sunday morning I even forgot about them and they mostly went away but then I worked up a bit of a sweat doing chores around the house and some yard work and they came back and haven’t gone down since. Yesterday was also really hot and muggy. But again, they’re are not itchy or painful at all so that’s what’s throwing me off. Like I’m more aware of them and they feel warm where there’s constant friction, like my waist band or bra, but besides that I don’t even feel them

Wait, Arthur’s only like 30 years old?

I’ve honestly been imagining like a seasoned veteran this whole time even though early 30s makes total sense.

S4 spoilers ahead, but I just got to the episode where it comes up that he was too young to fight in WW1 so let’s just say he was 17 by the time the war ended. That’d make him like 33 by the start of the show? Idk, I’ve been imagining like a mid 40s guy this whole time.

Also I just saw some official art of him and gotta say, didn’t imagine him as a brunet either. Basically I’ve just been picturing John Constantine this whole time lol

Brand new range hood shat out, warranty won’t cover it

Just moved into a house that has had the kitchen renovated for the selling process, they installed a brand new range hood. Literally the cheapest one on the market, it shat out the first time I tried to use it.

Started with the second setting which was really loud so I switched to the first which just kinda sputtered out and clicked off. Second setting won’t turn on at all either.

The highest setting was working for about a week before it also just sputtered and clicked off. The light switch still works just fine

I’m assuming a switch board or electrical issue? Full disclosure I am by no means a handy person in any sense, but I also don’t wanna pay for someone to fix it when that’ll probably cost more than the actual unit and can’t afford to replace it just yet.

Thoughts on the problem and if it could be diy’ed? Or am I sol and just have to bite the bullet on either repairing or replacing the thing?

Y’all are too harsh on First Person Shooter

Is it cheesy, cringy, stupid and very much a product of its time? Yes. Did it have the most ham fisted “girl vs boys” moronic rhetoric I’ve ever seen in this show? Also yes.

Do I still enjoy it just because of this scene alone when Mulder does a fruity little wave to Scully when asked “What kind of moron gets his yayas out like that?” Yes.

But seriously, I like seeing Mulder have fun and be a bit silly. I think if you go in with the right mindset for this episode, it’s pretty fun. Stupid af and makes absolutely zero sense, but fun

Also if someone has or can make a gif of Mulder doing the stupid wave, I’d love you forever

Mattress topper for memory foam mattress?

We got a memory foam mattress for the guest bed, some guests seem to love it and others absolutely hate it so I want to get a topper to offer as an option. It is a very firm mattress, which I personally also like, but I can see why some would find it uncomfortable.

From my brief research, it seems a lot of mattress toppers are also memory foam or some kind of combo which is what we’re trying to get away from. Would a down feather topper be effective?

I love how my hair looks/behaves right after I dye it, how can I get it to feel like that every day

I dye my hair every 4 weeks or so to cover up white hair and just generally darken it a bit and I *love* how it looks and feels right after. Just normal box dye from the store and every 6 months or so I’ll go into the salon to get it done professionally.

It has more weight to it, it has more texture but not frizziness. In general I can just do more hairstyles and it actually looks good. But this only lasts for a few days to maybe a week. By the time my roots are grown in and it’s time to dye them again, my hair is just idk limp. It’s smooth, but very wispy and just lifeless. I don’t wanna dye my hair every week, there’s no need to do it that frequently and I’m already afraid of damage to it from dying it for as long as I have, so what other products can I use to imitate whatever the hair dye does to it?

Currently my hair care routine is very simple. I just wash and condition it every 2-3 days (sulfate free shampoo and with tepid water), towel/air dry it and use a wide tooth comb to detangle it while it’s still a little wet
