Being brought back from the dead in a not very stellar execution was probably a bigger push for the edgy tween OC thing than the rest of it.

He has an effectively infinite supply of guns on his person at all times. He never bothers to reload any of them, he just drops them and pull out a new pair whenever they're empty. Despite this, he also wears some ammo packs, probably just because he likes the way they look.

Nothing about his Came Back Wrong problems touches on that nonsense.

I was going to make a half-joking comment about how of course it's shitty, it's pumpkin spice, but then I remembered I've never had pumpkin spice and the only reason I think it's shitty is because of conventional wisdom. And the main reason shitting on pumpkin spice is popular is because it's popular with women, so naturally men everywhere must shit on it.

And I'm not gonna take part in that, so instead I'll sit here, assume Coelasquid actually knows what it tastes like, and compliment her on a much funnier punchline that doesn't really require you to take a side on pumpkin spice.

And also make plans to try pumpkin spice at some point so that even if I don't like it, I can at least form my own f*cking opinion.

I'm honestly not sure if I've ever had pumpkin spice on anything besides pumpkin pie, but that's my favorite kind of pie, so make of that what you will.

Anywho, Monster Party! The fact that Coela linked to Jontron's review makes me happy. It's one of the best among his early videos.

From what I've seen, it's mostly mocking the stereotype of what airheaded white girls like, which is like one third sexism to be fair.

Yeah... non-white girls don't memetically love pumpkin spice. It's just "Basic Bitches".

I've had the spice itself before (not the latte). It's fine. It's just that the white girls won't shut the fuck up about it for two solid months, annoying everyone else, and turning it into a meme in the classic sense.

I like pumpkin spice.

I didn't know hating it was a thing.

Never tasted it. Mind you, I've only knowingly been in a Starbucks twice, and that one was a concession inside the Borders bookshop in Glasgow, back when Borders was still a thing.

Sadly if I'm ever in the mood for a brewed drink, Spiced Chai is my preferred hipster beverage of choice.

My only problem with pumpkin spice is its ubiquity in September and October. And frequently, paired with things that really don't taste all that great with it (I hate it with coffee of any variety, honestly). And honestly, it's something people could throw together easily at home in the right proportions (it's cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, allspice, and powdered ginger, in the right proportions - and honestly, I love all of those flavors). People could have it any damn time they please.

Playing in-character Reinhardt is always fun. Lot more suicidal charges than usual.
