Tomie isn’t as meme-ified as Amigara fault, or as widely adapted as Uzumaki, but is another of his bigger works, would recommend!
Also, you may have seen a few images from Uzumaki (the hair, the face) but the story is quite long and really unsettling! Would still recommend giving it a read.
How do you pronounce “graphic”?
Isn’t that essentially what Patreon is for though? How is it different (other than I assume no ‘bonus content’ for your sub)?
Okay, but we had that same issue in 2010 before Chrome started to become mainstream. And before that, IE had to compete with Netscape.
I got the Pokémon ones as junior sizes go up to an EU 39! My only regret is that I didn’t get both colours.
Are you suggesting those as alternatives for outside? Is it this brand you’re talking about?
Agree, the shame and embarrassment I felt about trying Crocs disappeared the moment I took my first step in them. I now hate wearing any shoes that are not Crocs.
Oooh this is what I did too - recent convert here, I saw them becoming the new ‘fashion’ and I’m weak and decided to try them because people would not shut up about how comfy they were.
Now my favourite part about coming home is taking off my outdoor shoes and getting to put the Crocs on. They have no business feeling that divine. If I lived in a more temperate and dry place, I’d buy more for outdoor use. Any shame or embarrassment I may have initially felt about wearing them is gone.
They already threatened to stop this.
After the blackout, it seems the Admin sent out a generic message to mods of every private sub giving them a deadline to reopen, regardless of whether that sub had already been private prior to any talk of a blackout. Examples give in this post.
Team Orca right here.
For a while I thought they might be a 60 person dance crew.
My current theory is that they’re training for some sort of furniture moving marathon. Or maybe running an illicit 24hr gym.
TLOU is good and potentially fits the criteria, I’m not sure actually, as the main female character is a child so inherently vulnerable and kinda reliant on this achey old man to ferry her through the apocalypse. Would still recommend, I cried like a baby through certain parts.
The Sean Astin character I’m referencing is in Stranger Things S2. I think has at least one potential example of female gaze (as a compliment to Winona Ryder’s character).
Stranger Things probably isn’t great for other metrics though, like the Bechdel test.
This baffles me, you can tell them this over and over and they’ll still tell you that you’re wrong, and ACTUALLY you’re attracted to the Chris Hemsworths of the world and not the Jack Blacks.
Hmm, I see your point now I’ve looked up the actual theory of female gaze.
It seems in the modern social media space, female gaze has been used to mean something more like “the male characters who women find attractive are the ones that show more emotional, loving, nurturing and supportive traits”. So if used this way, it’s not a direct contrast to male gaze. Maybe we need to call that observation something different!
I wonder if Bob (Sean Austin) does fall into the proper definition though? His character does exist for the most part to lift every other character around him, especially Joyce Byers.
Surprised you could only think of Idris! Would say he’s definitely female gaze in most of his roles. Off the top of my head, and as a woman who talks about celeb ‘crushes’ with other women, the tops are:
All examples of men who, for the most part, are not obvious sex symbols in their roles, all of whom women go absolutely wild for.
It was last revised under the Criminal Law Amendment Act 1885 where it was raised from 13 to 16… so I would think it probably was designed exactly that way. None of the parliaments in the UK seem to have any intention of raising it.
