Hey can anyone please help me out here? I can probably pitch in $5 but I'd like to see the final product first and I am not a reliable narrator nor am I to be trusted.

The bad guy from the anime Nazca, as shown in the intro to the American sitcom Malcolm in the Middle. Critics probably acclaimenated it. I thought it was ..........
............ mid. 😎
He's a guy looking over the ledge of a bridge, smiling, with a particular look on his eyes. I always thought he was a friend ready to lend you a hand and lift you up, but in the show he just fucking killed someone in cold blood lmao- oh that explains some things about my perception of people.

I know I've been heavy on the love spell bit, but lol at this account description including "thirty party remover". Finally, I can exile someone out of the friend group entirely, completely isolate them socially, and create the perfect environment for building a healthy relationship in good faith.

All these profiles that are only a few weeks old with hundreds of followers and a couple thousand views are surely intimately linked with the fabric of fate and the universe. Scrolling in public was always a game of roulette, but this stuff is too much.

Can anyone help me identify this insect that landed in an orange plastic cup of water? There's a caffeine/hydration tablet dissolved in there that I don't think I should drink now. :( The app on my phone suspects dog flea, fruit fly, or western horse fly.

Trigger Warning: Racial Slur So I was in the waiting room and, along with several others, overheard the person at the front desk call their coworker an "Indian giver". I waited a minute then went up and subtly showed them a Google search result (AI tho 😓) for that term, in case they weren't aware.

Trigger Warning: Racial Slur
A phone screenshot of the Google AI overview of the search term "Indian giver":

"
Indian giver"Indian giver" is an offensive idiom used to describe someone who gives a gift and then takes it back or expects an equivalent item in return.

Definition and Offensiveness

Meaning: A person who gives a present and later demands it back.
Status: Widely recognized as a dated and highly offensive racial slur against Native Americans.
Cultural Impact: The phrase disrespects Indigenous cultures by mischaracterizing traditional gift-exchange customs as deceitful.

Something's been bugging me. About a week ago I got jump scared without warning when I clicked on an innocuous user profile. So I'm going to post some recently taken pictures of bugs as a palette cleanser. Namaste.

Per wikipedia, "Papilio glaucus, the eastern tiger swallowtail, is a species of butterfly native to eastern North America."

I've been reading about attachment theory again & decided to take a quiz. The results surprised me, I'm usually squarely in the Fearful quadrant across the board. I think this quiz's methodology is flawed, otherwise I may need to accept that years of therapy had an actual impact. Fucked up if true.

A four quadrant graph measuring Avoidance on the Y axis and Anxiety on the X axis. Top left, "Dismissing", includes mother. Top right, "Fearful", includes romantic partner. Bottom right, "Preoccupied", includes General. Bottom left, "Secure", includes father and best friend.

Per the website:

"
The table below summarizes your scores in a more quantitative fashion. Please note that Anxiety and Avoidance scores can range from 1 (low) to 5 (high).

Domain | Anxiety Score | Avoidance Score
General | 4 |2.17
Your mother or mother-like figure | 1 | 3.67
Your father or father-like figure | 1 | 2.17
Your romantic partner | 3.67 | 3.33
Your best friend | 2.33 | 1.5
"

Thank you permabanned user "lizard tits" MPP, I hope you're well.

Wow folks, what can you say? Looks great! The show however was somewhat mediocre in the beginning. Kind of meandering, not clear what the point was other than violently slaying a Monster of the Week each episode, and tbh the fight scenes were underwhelming. But then, out of nowhere came an unexpected plot twist! Jun Fudo is a lesbian. My best friend was late-bloomer lesbian who, as I understand it, didn't "switch teams" but rather realized what team she was on at about 30 years old. So she was new to the identity and liked seeing her people in media. So she was stoked about this! And the show handled it tastefully, it wasn't some bullshit fan service thing. About halfway through the show I asked her what she thought. She was cautiously optimistic. Hoping it was gonna stay good, but afraid they'd blow it. The pressure was on: would Devil Lady stick the landing? Or would it blow it like so many shows have?

Now, at this point I'm gonna spare you a lot because, if you'll permit me a substantial understatement, it's a bit of a bummer. The short version is, at this point in time, my friend finally saw a doctor for some strange symptoms she'd been having. And they found cancer. It was very advanced and it was very bad. She died only a month after diagnosis, so she never got to see where the show ended up. Suffice to say, I was sad. It's still sad.

Forum post text:
Tbh at first I wasn't sure if that was that for the show. But after a bit I decided to finish it. And you know? I think it was pretty good. Weird as hell sometimes, but good. I think she would have liked it. There are two things notable about the ending. The final showdown is between Jun, now fully embracing her role as DEVIL LADY: THE CHAMPION OF HELL, and Lan Asuka, the "Child of God" set to bring 1000 years of peace to the world, which I guess is bad because it's implied the world will be very boring.

The first thing is funny. The Child of God's presence and the new age of peace is announced to the world by a jubilant, bible thumping AMERICAN PRESIDENT who appears to me to be a pretty clear Ronald Reagan stand-in. Jun ends up slaying Asuka on live television broadcast, which Not-President-Reagan sees and promptly blows his own brains out (off-screen) right in the Oval Office. If that's not a high quality absurd comedy moment, I don't know what is.

The second thing is personal. You see during the show, Jun's closest friend (only friend, really), is killed despite her best efforts to save her. Jun struggles a lot with this, and for a bit it seems she's just going to give up entirely, and let whatever happens happen. It isn't easy for her to to keep going without her friend. And there is no miraculous resurrection in this show. So even though Jun ultimately wins, the closing scene is of her somberly remembering her slain friend, turning her cheek, and disappearing into the background of the world, alone. It's a bittersweet note to end on. And seeing this so soon after my friend's death, with the incomplete watching of this basically being the last we got to do together, it hit home for me. Maybe everyone who has to go one without someone they love can relate. So thank you Jun Fudo, for being a great demon girl, and a character we both got to enjoy!

A year later, having sobered up, imagine my surprise at receiving a PM titled "It's here!" They'd not only kept true to their word, but shared their experience, and it was a beautiful thing.

Forum post text:
As promised, it is time for our SPECIAL FEATURE. That's right folks. It's the Devil Lady herself, Jun Fudo!

Spoiler warning I guess for an anime from 1998. Also, I apologize in advance for this getting rather "maple shortbread bars".

Forum post text:
So just after DGAD last year, I received a request to cover Jun Fudo of the anime "Devil Lady", also known as "Devilman Lady", even though that sounds dumb. I had never heard of it before, so not only did I have to look it up, but I had to figure where the heck to watch it.

So I did what any of us would do in this situation: nothing at all for about eight months. Then one day I was having lunch with my best friend and thought "hey, maybe we should watch it together?" So I explained to her that I'd made this thread about demon girls eight months ago on Something Awful and was now honor-bound to watch this particular anime because someone sent me a PM. Naturally, she agreed. Even better, she had Amazon Prime and they had the show, even though Crunchyroll and Funimation didn't. Shortly after we were introduced to JUN FUDO: THE DEVIL LADY. And we started watching a few episodes every week.

Forum post text:
She might not look like a devil. In fact as far as anyone knows she's just your everyday beautiful professional model. Soon enough though, things happen, plot occurs, and she meets LAN ASUKA. Lan takes the role of Jun's mentor/handler with big dommy mommy energy. She reveals to Jun that she bears the mark of the beast can transform into a powerful and sensual demon girl!!!

Folks, I have a confession to make. On May 4, 2021, a thread celebrating Demon Girl Appreciation Day was posted to a forum. I had recently watched Devilman Lady, and spent 2021 drunk, so I wanted to sincerely engage with the thread but was also afraid for my reputation, so I sent a PM to the OP...

A screenshot of the original private message's quoted text, and then the response.

A reminder has been set. I'm glad you enjoyed the thread, friend!
