Note

If you haven't already, could you expand more on the "Asuka's a lesbian" theory? I've seen people say it and I think it seems reasonable, but I haven't found anyone actually explain their thought process.

calling it a theory makes it seem a little more serious than it is, i think. more or less its just that a lot of asuka’s characterization resonates with the experiences of gay women (which i am using broadly, tho i do specifically think asuka is a lesbian), especially in regards to alienation from womanhood/women and compulsive heterosexuality.

basically, she exhibits literally no genuine affection for men but feels like she has to imitate heterosexuality (ie kissing shinji), she chooses kaji as a man to fixate on bc he is inherently unavailable, rejects all of the boys at her school and leaves her date early bc she can’t simulate interest in them, and mentions a few times how the idea of being in a relationship or having sex with a man disgusts and disturbs her. the only person she is even remotely close to is hikari and, emotionally, really the only person who seems to have an understanding of her and vice versa is rei (who she has a kind of classic baby gay obsession-rivalry thing with, which i will talk about in my eventual asuka/rei post lol). these are all things that mirror the actual experiences of young wlw p closely, which is why hc-ing asuka as a lesbian is popular.

probably this kind of thing is more difficult for non-wlw to understand bc there isnt the sort of obvious gesturing to same sex attraction like w maya or kaworu or w/e. even though, for me, asuka is a much more accurate depiction of my experiences as a lesbian than maya. but if youre not a gay woman youre probably not well versed in their experiences and commonalities beyond like.....being attracted to girls--for a lot of reasons, obvi, one of which being that gay women arent often depicted in realistic ways so like.... how would you know what actions/emotions are signals or flags.

then again, of course, how many ‘true lives of real and nonsexy lesbians’ stories is any given cishet person (and, to a point, non-wlw people in general) really intaking--esp w the goal of gaining this understanding so that you can approach media with an actual metric for judging whether or not a character may be gay without them having to be like ‘i literally love women/men’ (and even then like... look at fucking kaworu). im not kind enough to really give people the benefit of the doubt, i guess, but either way the difficulty in this kind of thing is that it’s all based in reading actions and expressions that feel inherent to the gay experience as therefore representative of gayness. and also being willing to accept the presence of gayness as something not necessitating textual confirmation--which is, for way too many fucking people, where the problem lies.

its a bit of a dead horse but really the idea of like having to prove a sexuality for a character who has no stated sexuality is rooted in the presumption of heterosexuality as not only a neutral category but an inherent one. like, if we are to remove something from the default set there needs to be a given reason and evidence, a detailed claim of divergence, and what counts as acceptable is ever shifting and impossible. there isnt a like....homosexual scientific method or kinsey scale conditional proof system and, even if there was, people probably still wouldn’t believe it.

basically what im trying to say is that if a lot of lesbians say ‘i think this character is a lesbian’ it might be best to just believe them.

#asks #nge #evangelion #asuka langley soryu #neon genesis evangelion #god this got out of hand #but it was between being brief and snippy or extremely longwinded #and yknow where i went #kind of this is a thing that i have thought about forever and ever and so #i did kind of tangent and ramble #chozomechanic #q #this has been a text post #mine

Quill’s Swill - The Worst Of 2018

Congratulations dear reader. You survived 2018. And you know what that means. It’s time for another best of/worst of list. Welcome to Quill’s Swill 2018. A giant septic tank for the various shit the entertainment industry produced over the course of the year. The films, games, TV shows and various other media that got on my bad side. As always please bear in mind that this is only my subjective opinion (if you happen to like any of the things on this list, good for you. I’m glad someone did) and that obviously I haven’t seen everything 2018 has to offer for one reason or another. In other words, sorry that Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes Of Grindelwald isn’t on here. I’m sure it is as terrible as some have been suggesting. I just never got around to watching it.

Okay everyone. Grab your breathing masks and put on your rubber gloves. Let’s dive into this shit pile.

Hold The Sunset

The news that John Cleese would be returning to the world of BBC sitcoms was incredibly exciting, being a massive Fawlty Towers fan and all. Unfortunately Hold The Sunset was not quite what I had in mind. It’s one of those rare breed of situation comedies that chooses to offer no actual comedy. It’s not a sitcom. It’s a sit. Like Scrubs or The Big Bang Theory.

An elderly couple plan to elope abroad only for Alison Steadman’s son to barge in, having left his wife, and forcing them to put their plans on hold. Hence the title ‘Hold The Sunset.’ It’s like a cross between As Time Goes By and Sorry, but if all the humour and relatability were surgically removed by a deadpan mortician. The characters are weak, the plots are thin on the ground and the humour (hat little of it there is) feel incredibly dated. The middle aged mummy’s boy is something that hasn’t been funny since the 90s. It’s an utter waste of great talent and what hurts even more is that this tripe is actually getting a second series. I can only assume the people watching this are comatose. Either that or there’s an epidemic of people in Britain who have lost the remote.

Avengers: Infinity War

Yes this is one of the worst movies of 2018 and no I don’t regret saying that one little bit. Avengers: Infinity War was fucking terrible. Period. There were too many plots and characters going on, which made the film hard to follow (and what staggers me is that the so called ‘professional’ critics have condemned movies for having too many characters and plots before. Spider-Man 3, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Batman vs Superman: Dawn Of Justice and even Deadpool 2. But because this is an MCU movie, it gets a free pass. Fuck off). The characterisation was weak due to sheer number of characters they try to juggle, resulting in characters coming off as one dimensional caricatures of themselves and scenes where characters such as Iron Man, Doctor Strange and Star-Lord sound completely interchangeable. The villain, Thanos, is a stupidly and poorly written villain, but that’s hardly surprising considering what a shit job Marvel have done building him up over the course of these 20+ movies. And let’s not forget that pisstake ending. A bunch of prominent Marvel characters die and it’s all very, very sad... except all these characters just so happen to have sequels planned, which makes this ending fucking pointless and have less impact than a feather on a bouncy castle.

I don’t know which is more shocking. That Marvel and Disney think their audience are that stupid and gullible, or that their audience are actually validating their view. Fuck you Disney.

Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery

I’ve always wanted a Harry Potter RPG, where you could customise your character, choose your house and actually live a full school life at Hogwarts. This year, Warner Bros and Jam City gave us just that.

That was a mistake.

Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery is the epitome of everything that’s wrong with the mobile gaming market right now. The gameplay is boring and involving where you just tap images on a screen until a progress bar fills up. Wizard duels are little more than rock-paper-scissors challenges that require no kind of skill. Bonding with friends and caring for magical creatures just consist of pathetically simple pop quizzes and yet more boring tapping. Oh and of course you only get a certain amount of energy to complete these tedious tasks. If you run out of energy, you wait for it to fill up... or pay up for the privilege. So determined are they to extract your hard earned cash from your wallet, there’s actually a bit where Devil’s Snare strangles your eleven year old avatar and the game effectively tries to guilt trip you into paying micro-transactions to save them. It’s sleazy, gross and manipulative. Honestly, you’re better off just playing Candy Crush.

Agony

When the developers of this game said they wanted to give the player a trip through Hell, they had no idea how true that statement really was. Agony is dreadful on a number of levels. The design for Hell itself, while visually interesting at times, is often not very practical and gets quite dull and repetitive after a while. The stealth mechanics are a joke and the AI of your demonic enemies are pitiful. All of this alone would have been enough to put this game on the list, but then we also have the casual misogyny. Agony is a gorefest trying desperately to shock the player. We see men and woman get tortured, but it’s the women that often get the extreme end. The violence inflicted on them is often sexual in nature and the game seems to go out of its way to degrade and dehumanise women at every turn. The orgasmic cries of ‘pull it out’ quickly become a staple of the game’s experience as we see naked women raped, tortured and murdered, all for the purposes of ‘entertainment.’

I would call Agony sexist, but honestly that would be giving it too much credit. Agony is like a little child trying desperately to be all dark and edgy in a pathetic attempt to impress everyone around him, and we should treat it as such. Go to your room Agony. No ice cream for you.

Peter Rabbit

If you listen closely, you can hear the sound of Beatrix Potter rotating in her grave.

Yes we have yet another live action/CGI hybrid, but instead of something innocuous like the Smurfs or Alvin and the Chipmunks, Sony instead decides to adapt Peter Rabbit, with James Corden in the title role.

It’s about as bad as you’d expect.

Their attempts to modernise the story are painful to say the least with pop culture references, inappropriate adult humour and twerking rabbits. Plus rather than the gentle, but slightly mischievous character we got in the source material, here Peter is a sociopathic delinquent who seems to revel in making the farmer’s life a living hell. He’s unlikable and unwatchable as far as I’m concerned and the film doesn’t in anyway earn the emotional moments it tries so desperately to sell to the audience. And the worst part is it’s getting a sequel.

Wait. Do you hear that sound? That’s the sound of Beatrix Potter tearing out of the ground, ready to kill whatever idiot came up with this shit.

Fallout 76

I was excited for Fallout 76. A MMORPG where players band together to rebuild society after a nuclear apocalypse. Could have been great. Pity it wasn’t.

Fallout 76 is a dreadful game. Not only is it a buggy, glitchy mess that requires a constant online connection to play, which could result in you losing hours of progress if your WiFi went down, it’s also unbelievably tedious, and that’s because there’s nothing to do in the game. There’s no other characters to interact with, the various robots and computers you come across are really little more than quest givers, there’s no actual plot so to speak, and because of the sheer size of the world and the number of players allowed on a server, the chances of you actually meeting any actual players is remote. And let’s not forget all the behind the scenes drama. Bethesda falsely advertising Fallout themed canvas bags and players getting shitty nylon ones. Bethesda accidentally releasing the account information of various players trying to get a refund for said bag. Bethesda failing to program the year 2019 into the game code, meaning that the game’s nukes don’t work.

Maybe there’s a chance that Bethesda could pull a No Man’s Sky and fix everything over the coming years with various patches and DLCs, but the damage has already been done. It’s incredibly disappointing. The Elder Scrolls 6 is going to have be fucking incredible to win everyone back.

Mama Mia!: Here We Go Again

I can’t stand jukebox musicals anyway, but Mamma Mia was always one of the worst. Its boring, meandering story with its one note, obnoxious cast of characters screeching out ABBA songs like they’re at some drunken karaoke session at some poor sod’s hen party has always grated on my nerves. So imagine my delight when they announced we were getting a sequel. Ever wondered how Meryl Streep met her three lovers and founded her hotel? No? Well tough shit, we’re going to tell you anyway.

Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again is basically just Mamma Mia again. The actors still can’t sing, the characters are still annoying and story is still boring and meandering, completely at the mercy of the chosen songs rather than the filmmakers using the songs to compliment the story (you know? Like proper musicals do?).

How can I resist you? Very easily as it turns out. Gimme, gimme, gimme a fucking gun so I can end my misery.

The Cloverfield Paradox

A lot of people were unhappy about the direction Cloverfield was going. They wanted a continuation of the found footage, kaiju movie from 2008, not an anthology series. I was personally all in favour. Partially because I thought the first Cloverfield was a tad overrated, but mostly because I thought it would be a great opportunity for more experimental film projects and could be a great launchpad for new writers and filmmakers. 10 Cloverfield Lane was a great start. Then The Cloverfield Paradox happened.

The Cloverfield Paradox is basically JJ Abrams trying to have his cake and eat it too. Maintaining the anthology format whilst connecting everything together in a ‘shared universe’ (yes, yet another shared universe). The result was a cliched, poorly edited and idiotic mess of a film that actually took away from the previous two films rather than added to them. Everyone hated it and, as a result, 2018′s Overlord, which was totes going to be part of the Cloververse, was made its own standalone film and Abrams double pinky promised to make a true sequel to the original Cloverfield. A complete and total disaster. No wonder it was a straight-to-Netflix film.

The Handmaid’s Tale - Season 2

This is probably going to be the most controversial entry on the list, but please hear me out because I’m not the only one who has a problem with this season.

I was reluctant to watch The Handmaid’s Tale simply because of how gruesome the original book was, but I forced myself to watch the first season and I thought it was pretty good. It remained faithful to the source material for the most part and included some nice additions that helped to expand the story and mythos. If it was just a one off mini-series, everything would have been fine. But then they made the same mistake as The Man In The High Castle and Under The Dome did where they commissioned another season and attempted to tell a story that goes beyond the book.

There’s a reason why the original story ended where it did. The Handmaid’s Tale isn’t meant to be an empowering story about women sticking it to the patriarchy. It’s a cautionary tale about how fragile our civil rights truly are and how easily they can be taken away from us. It’s designed to shock, not to satisfy. So seeing a handmaid blow herself up in a suicide bombing feels very incongruous and just a little bit silly. It would be like doing a TV adaptation of George Orwell’s 1984 where the first season followed the source material and then the second season turned Winston Smith into this heroic freedom fighter trying to overthrow Big Brother. It would represent a fundamental misunderstanding of what the book was about in the first place.

And then of course there’s the increased level of violence in Season 2, which many have complained about. In Season 1 and the original source material, the violence was justified. In Season 2, the motivation behind the violence has gone from ‘how can we effectively demonstrate how easily a fascist patriarchy can happen in the West?’ to ‘what brutal act can we inflict upon Ofglen to shock the audience this week?’ It’s purely for shock and nothing more. And with the showrunner (who I feel I should mention is a man) announcing that he has planned ten seasons of this, it seems that The Handmaid’s Tale is going to go even further with this depravity until it effectively becomes the equivalent of a Saw film.

The Handmaid’s Tale exists as a way of shining light on and critiquing misogyny in its most extreme form. Season 2 however demonstrates that there is a serious risk of it becoming the very thing it’s criticising in the first place.

The Predator

I love the Predator franchise, but The Predator is the worst.

People thought that this would be good because director Shane Black had actually starred in the first Predator movie back in 1987. Instead we got this bloated, confusing, obnoxious and insulting mess of a film that seems to go out of its way to ruin everything that makes Predator so good. There’s no tension. No suspense. No intrigue. Just a bunch of gore, explosions and shitty one liners from annoying and lifeless characters. They essentially took this big alien game hunter from outer space and turned him into a generic monster from a bad summer blockbuster. It no longer hunts for sport. It wants to take over the world and splice our DNA with theirs. But don’t worry, a rogue Predator doesn’t want to kill humans (even though he himself kills a bunch of humans), so he gives us a Predator Iron Man suit to set up a sequel that will probably never happen because this movie was a box office bomb and it fucking SUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKKKKEEEEEDDDD!!!

This film also has a very nasty streak towards those with disabilities. There’s a lot of jokes at the expense of a character with Tourette’s and it has an extremely ignorant and patronising view of autism, portraying the main character’s kid as being a super genius who can decipher the Predator language and even going so far as to say that he represents ‘the next stage of human evolution.’ Presumably the Predators want social communication difficulties because apparently it helps them hunt somehow.

What with Disney acquiring 20th Century Fox, the future of both the Alien and Predator franchises were very much in question. This film needed to be a success in order to make a case for Disney to keep making more of them. It wasn’t. Congratulations Shane Black. You might have just killed off this franchise for good. Thanks arsehole! :D

So those were my least favourite stories from 2018. Join me on Wednesday where we shall discuss something more positive. Yes, it’s awards season. Who shall win the coveted Quill Seal Of Approval? Watch this space...

Or don’t. It’s up to you. I don’t want to force you or anything. It’s a free country.

SKINCARE ROUTINE

Hey Guys! Eeeeek! My First Blog post.. All About My Skin Care Routine!

Not that my skin is ‘Amazing’ or that im a fully qualified dermatologist BUT i did learn Alot about how to look after our skin and keep it healthy, clean and how to avoid wrinkles! A-little bit of my Skin History I have had OILY/COMBINATION skin my whole life up until around a year or so ago where i noticed my skin had become alot more dry and dehydrated! I started drinking heaps of water and i saw results and improvement within 2 days! Honestly it sounds like such a small step but water is a HUGE contribution to your skin health! I now continue to drink a ton of water but my skin is still a little dry in certain areas and i would say its morning NORMAL/COMBINATION skin now! Although my skin does still get oily in my t-zone i flood my face with rich moisturisers to keep my skin feeling incredibly soft and also to look dewy/ to get that ‘heathy glow’ I’m Exactly like most 16-25 year olds who get regular breakouts/blackheads - This has so much to do with our Hormones! I’ve been on the pill since the age of 14-15 (A Long Time!!) so this could effect my skin without me even knowing!! I always get Period Pimples! always the week before or just a couple of days before im due i will get ATLEAST 1-2 Pimples (That drive me bonkers!!!) This is Totally Normal!! they’re something you cannot fight or stop, You're best of to leave them alone and they will be gone in only a few days! There are pimple creams/gels you can buy (Mario Badescu drying lotion - Mario Badescu anti-acne serum etc..) That can take away the redness & decrease the pimple size within a few days - BUT leaving them alone is the best way (as hard as it is sometimes) I used to so obsessive over my pimples and would hate them because they were gross or ugly but trust me when i say NO ONE CARES about some little dots on your face! its normal & its natural!?

My GO-TO Skin Care products and How/Why i use them!

IN IMAGES:

Mario Badescu - ANCE FACIAL CLEANSER Lush Cosmetics - ANGELS ON BARE SKIN FRESH FACIAL CLEANSER T.N. Dickinsons - WITCH HAZEL CLEANS & TONES Nivea - REFRESHINGLY SOFT MOISTURISING CREAM Bobbi Brown - VITAMIN ENRICHED FACE BASE Glam Glow - GLOW STARTER MEGA ILLUMINATING MOISTURISER (NUDE)

FIRSTLY, MAKEUP REMOVAL

This is a huge, huge, huge part of how well your skin will look & feel! Makeup Wipes = BAD! not only for your skin but also for the environment! I’ve Just recently started using BISOUS Cloths, They're Incredible! My skin has never been bad or horrible but i do get regular break oust & common black heads - I would say these cloths have reduced both breakouts and blackheads significantly! Genuinely every-time i clean my face with these i am blown away that how quick and effortlessly it removes the most natural makeup or the most darkest black smokey eye (EVEN waterproof mascara! gone?!) They’re super dooper soft! Easy to use - JUST add water and your ready to go?? Then you just throw them into the provided wash bag (or any lingerie bag) & throw them in the washing machine! So Easy & Super Affordable at only $29.95 for 3! (Afterpay also Accepted!) “Skin issues will affect everyone at some point of their life. The theory goes that the cleansing process promotes healthy skin but some of us react to the active ingredient in most cleansers and makeup removers. In order to strip the skin of makeup and grime most cleansers and disposable makeup wipes’ active ingredients include solubilizes, emulsifiers, alcohol and even preservatives like methylisothiazolinone. For those with sensitive skin or skin conditions these chemicals can affect the skin’s natural acid mantle and cause irritation, dryness and further exacerbate skin conditions. Our product is made from a specially knitted nanofiber which, when wet,creates a hydro-mechanical process that breaks the surface tension of the oils that bond makeup and dirt to the skin.” - Bisous ( https://bisous.store/ )

NEXT STEP - CLEANSERS!

My 2 Must-Have Cleansers are the Mario Badescu Acne Facial Cleanser & The Lush Cosmetics Angels on Bareskin.. MARIO BADESCU ACNE FACIAL CLEANSER Not by any means do i have ACNE or anything remotely close BUT This product is a dream come true, as it is made for OILY/COMBINATION skin it removes all access dirt and oil from my t-zone without drying my skin out to a oblivion! I use this Twice a day! In the morning to prep my skin for the day and to remove all the yuck from sleeping sweat/oil (summer is hot here in Australia!!!) then at night to remove any residue of stubborn Makeup/Oil from my pores! This product is designed to PREVENT & FIGHT off ACNE also to SOOTHE & CALM inflamed skin “Prevent and heal existing acne with Mario Badescu's exfoliating and deep cleansing wash formulated with acne-fighting salicylic acid. Contains aloe vera and chamomile, two natural ingredients that calm and soothe acne inflamed skin.“ - Mecca Cosmetica This Product is super cheap at only $22 at your local Mecca! https://www.mecca.com.au/mario-badescu/acne-facial-cleanser/I-005006.html LUSH COSMETICS ANGELS ON BARE SKIN Although i am not at all a fan of the way you need to use this product (”mix your solid cleanser with water to form a paste”) I am a MASSIVE fan of this product, not only does it smell amazing it will clear up your skin in just a few days! I mostly only use this product at night because its quite soothing & restorative. Looking at the ingredients everything is Natural & Healthy for your skin (NO SYNTHETICS!) “Inspired by a mediaeval recipe and topped off with lavender flowers, this contains kaolin to absorb grease and dirt, leaving skin clean and nourished. Lavender oil and rose absolute calm the skin. As you mix your solid cleanser with water to form a paste, the ground almonds create almond milk which helps to tone and brighten the skin. This can be used all over your body as well as your face. “ - LUSH COSMETICS https://au.lush.com/products/cleansers/angels-bare-skin At $17.50 This product is not cheap (it also only lasts 2 months!!!) but it is definitely worth the investment as it will clear & sooth your skin in only a matter of days! WE CANNOT FORGET TO CLEAN & TONE

Toning is a vital part of the cleansing process! Using an astringent just like Witch Hazel will help tighten the skin, even your PH levels (Not if high volume of alcohol is present), will remove grime & access oil/residue, it will shrink the appearance of poors & as the name suggests it evens out your skin TONE! BUT Toning/using ASTRINGENT on your skin to often is very bad for your skin - especially because some skin types (DRY) DO NOT need to tone as Astringent strips your skin of its natural oils! i personally tone my skin maybe 1-2 times a week if that! i use it a lot more when i have breakouts as it removes any bacteria and oil from those areas! i found this little guide of what WITCH HAZEL does for all skin types on their website! http://www.dickinsonsusa.com/witch-hazel-uses/ Normal Skin Removes everyday dirt, oil and impurities Oily Skin Controls oil, eliminates shine and balances skin Dry Skin Nourishes flaky & dull skin without removing essential moisture Enlarged Pores Unclogs, refines and tightens pores Sensitive Skin Cleans, calms & conditions without overdrying Combination Skin Even out the areas that are oily here, or dry there WITCH HAZEL is SUPER CHEAP at only $5-$7 at any Supermarket or Pharmacy! LAST BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST MOISTURISING/ EYE CREAM!

THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF YOUR SKIN CARE ROUTINE MOISTURISING! this step is absolutely critical to your skin being the best it possibly can be! BOBBI BROWN VITAMIN ENRICHED FACE BASE Now im sure you would have seen this product as it is ALL over social media - this was actually the number 1 reason i did NOT want to buy it, i had heard so much good about it and NO BAD at all besides the price - so i did some digging, read blogs & watched videos about this product and you bet! i found no negatives besides that it is not great for dry skin (having normal/combo i was happy to try it)! This product is actually a primer! but i use it as both! I went into my Local Mecca Maxima and got a sample of this and of the GLAM GLOW glow starter (will chat about that next) i instantly fell inlove with this product, my skin has NEVER felt so smooth and hydrated EVER! Although it is not cheap at $85 it IS INCREDIBLE “This oil-free, face formula, enriched with Shea Butter, instantly hydrates, softens, and cushions skin. Carrot Extract and Vitamin A Complex help reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles. Vitamins C and E help protect against environmental damage. Grapefruit and Geranium fragrances leave a light, uplifting scent on skin. “ - MECCA COSMETICA https://www.mecca.com.au/bobbi-brown/vitamin-enriched-face-base/I-012557.html i use this product at-least twice a day! (sometimes up to 5 times a day! i cannot get enough of it! its just amazing!

GLAMGLOW GLOW STARTER (NUDE GLOW) I don’t even know where to begin with this product it is just the whole package, Its glowy, it provides hydration, it blurs your skin (yep!!) & it smells incredible! AGAIN this isnt a cheap product and i HAD to sample this before investing the $$ but there is NOTHING like this product on the market. Available in 3 shades (Pearl, Nude & Sun) it provides the slightest amount of color to the skin but not as a tint, more as a light reflectant! i use this product either mixed with the BOBBI BROWN product or simply straight after, at-least twice a day!! It is perfect for the no makeup days as it has the magic of a foundations glow & the luminosity of a blinding highlight! This product is also PERFECT for a PRIMER or mixed with a foundation for Natural coverage to your skin! “For a next-level glow that's out of this world, it's all in the skin prep. Harness your full luminosity potential with this nutrient-loaded, light-reflective moisturising cream that replenishes moisture, blurs imperfections and imparts a beautiful glow with a hint of tint.“ - MECCA https://www.mecca.com.au/glamglow/glowstarter-mega-illuminating-moisturizer/V-027181.html#q=nude%2Bglow&start=1 This product is $75 From your local Mecca store!

For XMAS they have a deal of 3 Minis (every shade) for only $36 perfect stocking stuffer or even just a gift from you - to you! https://www.mecca.com.au/glamglow/let-it-glow-glowstarter-mini-set/I-029208.html#q=nude%2Bglow&start=1 NIVEA REFRESHING SOFT MOISTURISER i use this product as an eye cream! as its so rich its perfect for smothing the undereyes & filling in any fine lines before a makeup application! this is the number 1 product i use on ALL clients whether they have dry or oily skin!

‘i use the force of my personality-’ stop right there. i dont have that.

‘better to defend the weak OR help the poor’................. am i thinking too deep in these questions or am i straight up incorrect for seeing them as VERY similar ideas. like......... the poor....... are the weak......... or do we mean specifically Physically Weak because like..... they certainly can be..... what im saying is there is no meaningful difference based on my interpretation of words without any other context.

‘animals deserve our respect OR are delicious’........................................ what in the actual fuck kinda quiz am i taking. the fuck question is that???? what if both??? are true???? both??? what do you MEAN. what do you actually mean. make it fucking clear. are you asking if im a vegetarian? are you asking if im one of Those Cunts who dont shut up about animal rights even as humans die? what are you asking? im not dealing with that shit.

‘personal power comes from-’ beats me man

‘do you prefer new age religion or eastern religion’ im???? not religious???????? and dont understand what you mean???? new age i guess?????????? I GUESS????? what the fuck are you asking me

‘i love the city/i hate the city’ i am indifferent to the city

‘in a fight, its better to’ fucking run im scrawny and will snap if looked at badly like i should not be in an actual punch on unless i gotta death wish, man.

‘do you prefer eastern or western religion’ ???????? i dont know you absolute pain in my irreligious fucking ass. at least with new age i have the vague sense that yea, im down. i literally want nothing to do with any of the big ones.

‘rather spend time at church or the gym’ neither but i have to pick gym because you dont fucking get that im unfit AND irreligious at once

‘rather spend time camping w/ friends or drinking w/ friends’ drinking purely because you didnt say I have to drink and it probably means we’re at someones house playing video games. as opposed to me being stuck in the fucking wilderness with rowdy boys who are probably drunk anyway. except, man, i hate alcohol. cannot make that clearer

‘were you better at math/science or art/music’ actually i was better at english as a kid and ive never been particularly good at science and i cant play an instrument soooo what.

‘family elders are expressing disapproval of you to the rest of the family. what do you do?’ tell them to fuck off back to albury where they belong? what do you want me to say here. my nana would never disapprove and i dont listen to anything my paternal family says. realistically id say ‘oh, ok, sure, but ive got this sorted’ and then change the topic. neither of these are options. ‘silence them any way you can’ by changing the subject, ay.

‘do you respect the leaders of your family’ the what.

‘if your family had arranged your marriage-’ stop RIGHT there. no. nooooooo. nooooo sir. not even a remote option. the fucks this, the 50s? what am i dealing with. i know this is like, dnd, and dnd is timelocked to tolkien, but the Fuck. No??? no??? none???? my only option is to flee because i dont have the option to tell them to shove a plug up their ass.

‘youre estranged from a family member. on his deathbed, he seeks reconcilliation’ lol get fucked.

‘do you become close to people, or hold them at a distance’ i dont do that on PURPOSE.

‘if you were injured, would people in your home town help’ no offence but uhhhhh this isnt america, we dont know everyone in a 5km radius. the answer is probably yes purely because of my community work but i dont even know my own neighbours so id basically be hoping someone i know happens to find and recognise me.

also ok in theory i could be a politician but in practice im bad at public speaking and have anxieties up the ass soooo not actually a practical feasibility.

‘would you assassinate the president if paid enough’ im not an american and also No??????? money cant pay for ptsd my dude.

True Neutral Human Wizard? great. what a waste of my time

#thats like 20 minutes i spent answering this quiz thats excessively ameri-centric and i got the most boring fucking answer imaginable im
