#weird shit on temu

[lover-of-skellies]

Gonna start a thread of the weirdest things I can find on Temu. This feels like a good starting place

[somnolent-snufkin]

What the fuck is going on with Temu

[eddiediazismyhusband]

thinking about the possibility of eddie’s sexuality crisis coming after buddie canon like…

he and buck start dating and in eddie’s mind he’s justifying it like “i’m not really into men im just into buck” and buck is the supportive boyfriend bc obviously eddie’s the only one who knows himself, and eddie labeling himself doesn’t matter to buck bc all that matters is that they’re the happiest they’ve ever been together

but then they have sex for the first time (obviously we don’t see anything bc this is abc not hbo) but while buck is in this perfectly blissed out state, eddie is panicking bc holy shit… is that what sex is supposed to feel like? like i thought i enjoyed sex before because i got off and that was that but this was…. what the fuck?????

and we get this sort if spiral moment where eddie wonders if he’s been gay this whole time and has just been lying to himself and is wondering what that means for him and shannon? like yeah he moved on from her but… looking back did he ever really need to? were the feelings for his girlfriends just misplaced feelings for buck this whole time? has he always felt this way?

and it gets to a point where buck thinks eddie is pulling away from him, and he gets really in his head about it remembering when eddie said that sex just complicates things, and how eddie had that whole crisis over marisol, and then buck had broken up with temu and chris was in texas so both of them were in weird places mentally and oh my god did i force myself on him? is he miserable bc he realized im not actually what he wants? is he going to leave me like everyone else does?

and meanwhile eddie is in therapy telling frank that he’s never felt this way about anyone before and that he thought he was enjoying sex before but it had never been anything like what it was with buck- that before it had been a means to an end but with buck it just felt right… and then frank has a really deep conversation about sexuality and eddie’s catholic guilt and explains that only eddie can decide if labeling himself is important or not

then we get eddie making a choice to either label himself or to not label himself (bc all that matters is that bucn is who he wants to be with; im not picky bc i have always been a gay/demi eddie truther, but unlabeled eddie has so much playing room and they could explore so much with that but i also know that realistically they probably wouldn’t put that much thought into the actual label but i digress)

and then we get a Kitchen Scene™️ where they are both super quiet and eddie tells buck they need to talk; buck automatically assumes eddie’s breaking up with him and starts apologizing to eddie and telling him he will give eddie some time and space, telling eddie that he will move on eventually like he has from everyone else. eddie is like “what?” and buck is like “aren’t you breaking up with me?” and eddue is horrified bc oh my god have i really been that distant? has my crisis really pushed me away that much that i made him think i wouldn’t tilt the earth on its axis for him if he asked??? and eddie explains his side of things, ending his little speech by saying “i love you” for the first time, and buck gets teary eyed and says it back and they share a soft kiss and eddie is like “it’s never felt like that before” and buck admits “it’s never felt like that for me either��� but i think that’s what being in love does” and the episode ends with a fade to black of eddie leading buck out of the kitchen and down the hallway

[harbingerofsoup]

at this point i think we can say that bucktommy shippers don’t even like buck as a character what with their constant misrepresentation of his personality and canon things we know about him just to fit within this dynamic they’ve created in their heads

hell, earlier today i saw a post saying that buck better not break temu’s “soft and gentle” heart???

first of all, ew

second of all, did y’all forget which half of your weird little ship is one of the main characters??

seriously, im done pretending that these people actually care about the show because not only do they not give a shit about the other characters, they barely even care about buck! they basically just started a cult surrounding this racist white man and his plot device of a character

[cerberus-new-owner]

sooooo my friend made a few headcannons?? i genuinley have no idea what to call them buuuuuuuut

[whatsthatmagiccard]

Temu is advertising me weird shit, but amongst it is magic cards. While I won’t be buying magic cards from Temu, I am curious which ones are here.

There are a lot 👍 enjoy

Asked my girlfriend she said:

“Okay that’s the red mox but I can never remember what it’s called, Wren and I think six, Dockside Extortionist and Path to Exile, Painter’s Servant, that artifact lattice that makes things artifacts, and that type line says Legendary Land but I have no clue which one”

*deep breath*

Wrenn and Six, Isochron Scepter, Mox Ruby, Trinisphere, Grave Pact, Dockside Extortionist, Path to Exile, Riku of Two Reflections, Thrasios Triton Hero, Earthcraft, Painter's Servant, Mycosynth Lattice, Loyal Retainers, Training Grounds, No Mercy, Dictate of Erebos, Amulet of Vigor, Grindstone, Minamo School at Water's Edge, Cloudstone Curio, and Sakashima the Impostor.

All were on sight.

[verdemoun]

hi im back on my "overlooked things" bullshit

the gang and clothes. oh god that must've been chaotic. What the fuck do you mean you don't have to wear a union suit. What do you mean you??? Just??? Get to dress however you want??? Hello whY IS THERE SO MANY WOMEN WEARING PANTS WOW???

Comfort clothes. Kieran and clothes was already mentioned once, but I'm thinking about others. Some stick to their style, probably. I see Hosea as such a guy. John is living out his emo dreams /j

Charles, his newfound hobby of (insert vague gesture here) you know, and special clothes for this sort of thing. And protection. Good gloves, goggles, all that. Mate's in heaven. You cant tell me otherwise.

The first shopping trip is a fucking journey every time a new person appears. The availability. Prices. The materials. PRINTS. (I work with prints on fabric and lemme tell you. That shit is wild even for me. Let alone 1899 people.) The vast amount of styles and all that.

And, dumbass designs of course. The weird ones you can get from AliExpress or whatever and it's a fucking trip every time. As much as I wanna say it's Sean who discovers those first, I'd say it's Arthur. My guy wasn't too quick to learn tech and stuff so he saw a nice tshirt for a low price, ordered it, and he didn't look at it what was written.

His 1899 mindset of "i have it therefore it cannot be thrown away i can't afford more" wins out and he keeps it. You can't tell me otherwise.

welcome back always get the happiest hand flapping stim getting to long asks

absolutely assuming every woman who wears pants is a lesbian for the longest time

wearing pajamas for the first time. clothes being so plentiful they have a designated for sleep. and sleepwear being so much more comfortable than a union suit or ye olde undergarments the first time most of them wear flannel is a life changing experience.

bessie accidentally bought hosea clothes whenever she saw something she thought her husband would like it was her way of coping with him being gone for so long. he is rocking the brown loafers looks like he owns a yacht the beige pants but also coziest old man sweaters

john and arthur both just wear slightly modernized versions of their regular clothes they are dorks. john has the black leather bikie jacket with stupid fashion belts and buckles he looks amazing like generic punk outfit

CHARLES bordering on hoarder with the gloves. guilty of buying gloves in different colors just because he likes the color even though he already has 3 pairs of the same glove. most of the time enjoying the comfort of looking like a southern dad with the plaid and jeans but also work pants with the extra knee padding and a dozen pockets a different tool in every pocket walking down the street need a screwdriver? tape measure? wrench? electrical tape? timber screws? always on hand.

lenny and sean are the temu fashion disasters. bird shirts floral prints galore. the technicolor because it's so new to them!! the most hideous busy patterns but somehow making it work

sean accidentally bought a blue lives matter shirt and lenny had to draw the line and explain sean no. he started wearing it inside out instead of throwing it out and attempted to bleach the crappy iron off

arthur is so self conscious and so convinced he is ugly he is hyperaware of not sticking out in modern era he went through plain shirt and unremarkable pants for months. guilty of having a hoodie he won't leave the house without until he eventually settles on just modern era gunslinger outfit. owns 4 versions of the same outfit because he has npc energy in modern era can fit every piece of clothing he owns in a backpack.

[fivenightsatcaros]

just to clarify parts of that one post that i think are weird, i don't want people to get the wrong message and think i'm just hating

"The fact some of them complain about shein and temu ON TIKTOK is also so wild to me like WTF??"

"IMO it all ties into media influence. They cry about overconsumption but over-consume TikTok and Instagram reels. They say they aren't basic but in reality they're just basic in a different font. "

watching a lot of tiktok and instagram videos is not the same as overconsuming by buying things. people are allowed to criticize consumption culture while also enjoying tiktok, you can't equate the two

"Global warming?? They still drive cars and order shit from overseas companies."

again, not the same. you can criticize a society you are a part of ; lots of people need cars to get around they can't just throw their cars away... people that drive are not single handedly setting fire to earth, it is never really the fault of the consumer when the thing that they are consuming has become necessary to commute. something something walkable cities something something public transportation. as for ordering things from overseas companies, i guess i agree ??? i hate the fact that shein and temu have become so normalized to the point where people have no shame in publicly supporting these companies but it can be the only option in certain situations

"Gender wars/sexism?? They make trends like 'man or bear' that DIVIDE men and women even more."

lmfao no

people who complain about gender wars just piss me off in general. it gives "why can't we all just get along" energy. the "man or bear" thing was not a trend in the same way a lot of phrases trend on that app, it was something that came from women expressing their discomfort/unease around men. the difference between a man and a bear in this case is that you can tell a bear's intentions, making a lot of women feel safer around them because at least that is something you can navigate. her claim is that this divides men and women even more, but like, no ??? it was never meant to do that. men are the ones who divide women and men, not the other way around (femicide, abortion bans, the way a lot of men weaponize sa when a woman even slightly shows her opinions). if men see these videos on tiktok and decide to spread hatred towards women that is on them.

sidenote - men are not oppressed, misandry is not truly real.

the effects of misogyny : ⚰️

the effects of misandry : wittle man have hurt feewings 🥺

[deeps-repus]

If you roll up to donate clothes at my work and you're bragging like "there's stuff in here that never been worn, tags still on and everything" I'm judging you a little bit. Do you want a trophy for being wasteful? Weird flex but at least you're donating it i guess. HOWEVER if i open up that bag and it's full of Shein or Temu shit? It's on sight.

[nebulacritter]

ballmastrz confessions

i knew ballmastrz would be the right show for me bc of all of the anime references and weird shit

the fat jokes abt gaz are so useless bc she's not even that fat. it's just one portion of her body tho.

ballmastrz introduced me to the word "consortium"

flypp should just shut up already

leto looks like a youtuber i have seen before

bob reminds me of the tbh creature

i loved it when that sephiroth lookin dude said "BROS BEFORE HOES"

i thought crayzar was some type of evil fallen angel who used to be human before i got to know him more

remember that one episode where they yassified ace

i don't have a favorite team, but if i had to pick one, it'd be the leptons

all of the characters in rubicon look like bootleg tokusatsu action figures you would find on temu

i want to kick tyetaynus across the floor

[rainbowtvz]

my gf is recording isaac gameplay and im bored again lol

been window shopping on temu (yes ik abt the shady shit and i'm choosing to use it anyway shh)

and i found a fuck ton of weird shirts and designs that are right up my alley so i think the temu algo really gets what i like now lol.

bit sus that they suddenly put in shirts /w my rl name on em tho "i'm [rl name] doing [rl name] stuff"

like its cute but ermm

only thing i dont like abt temu is the predatory pyramid scheme thing to get free monies for inviting enough people (it never works) and the fact that they don't have a wishlist option i just have to put everything in my cart lol

[lyssafreyguy]

update on how becoming an adult fucks you up in weird ways: i keep getting ads for temu on one of my mobile games which i usually ignore but one of them had this adjustable over the sink drying rack and that shit got me so fucking excited. i never even knew that might be an option. i'm extremely tempted to invest in one for whenever i manage to move out.

[hailneaux]

def post or say more about that plz i don’t think it’s anti-asian at all, or xenophobic. it’s simply true and we have so much evidence to prove this. more thoughts on how this divides our country?

With China, its a reason why the US was attempting to ban Tiktok. They are subtly guiding ideology about the US, which there is an uptick in anti-US tiktoks. Im not saying people cant feel a certain way about whatever they want, but there is an increase in anti-capitalism pro-socialism/communism posts from Americans, imo its a diguise so that China can become the new Capitalism superpower because we now convinced to let it go. As long as someone else practices Capitalism we will be under their footing and doing.

Look at the NPC videos/lives that weird shit, less regional culture, uptick in everyone wearing SHEIN and shopping from Temu. That means less small business owners/American owned (Europe your in this too) businesses. Everything is becoming centralized towards China. The negative effects imo is less regulation, I.e increase of people talking about mercury and lead exposure from purchases directly from China. Increase in ads from Temu, etc. We are forking over our economic power to China.

Increase in particularly East Asian entertainment and them becoming the entertainment superpower, increase in k-pop stars, k-dramas increasing. There's A LOT of power and influence in media/entertainment. Just take a look at how much American culture has a hold on the entire world, now imagine it being Asian culture (again not deeming things as good or bad just observing a shift)

Tiktok is changing culture as we know it. its becoming very East Asian influenced. Theyre gonna be the next superpower and its not gonna be as harmless as we think.

[dubukat]

Sorry, I’m just going to post weird shit from temu now.

[tw1stedthicket]

After work today I was feeling proud of myself for getting a lot done and found out my old job is currently serving the BEST ice cream flavors (pumpkin and mocha) rn, so I drove to my old job and visited with my dearly beloved friend there and we caught up and chatted for like 3 hours! I love that lady. :') On god, I think I may just get a teeny tattoo somewhere (add it to the list lol) for my time at this farm job, because it has meant so much to me. I also got to see another one of my friends which felt really good and I desperately gotta see them for a hangout sometime. Today was so long but honestly really good. The connection I had was awesome.

Gotta take a moment to say... sometimes we got shit and we all sigh and dread and moan and beg the lord to take the mf wheel already but like. There's nowhere else I'd rather be. I am alive. School is everything I hoped it would be and more. Just a couple years ago, I was terrified of it, but I've never had something *click* like this. I had a job performance review the other day. It wasn't perfect. Not dropping the ball on anything, but room for improvement, so they say. I wrestled with it a little bit. But you know, I had a good, fun conversation with my assistant office manager today while I was up there working by myself since my coworker was gone. And we had a good time. And I though hey, I like who I am. I don't have to be the most stellar, incredible employee they just are so eager to be proud of, I'm just gonna do my job the best I can and let the rest of the bullshit fuck off, and you know what? I have good conversations with people. I can laugh with em. People around the office know me as being really sincere and good-natured. And that means so much more than anything else to me. I try to go to bed on time, man. I try to make time for the people I don't feel weird with, the people I never doubt for a second if they're being real, or honest, or just... *there* with me. Showing up as themselves, regardless of our tiredness and depression and shit because yeah that shit can suck but I love em and what would life be without each other at the end of it, you know? I remember how bad it felt, but I love to see them so much no matter what and the fact they show up makes me feel like I could fight a dragon, and I wish I could for them and their shit.

I sometimes don't notice how I'm places I never thought I would be. I read the posts of those people I knew from church that have also left the church, the very few ones I know, and their commitment to integrity is fucking insanely awesome and inspiring, and it inspires me to write out my own thoughts in my journal that I read over and think, damn. I'm pretty smart to have come up with those words to capture something so deeply just... weird and wirey and fucky. It's pretty cool to come from that at all, and I comprehend even more now the way both of them have this deep rooted regard for ethics reflected in his nursing job and her counselor job. They're really real like that.

And I think about that and think about how I was eating a coffee ice cream today that 2 years ago when I took the first bites of I felt riddled with guilt, and now? Fuck! It's so tasty!

I think about how hobbies are slowly re-entering the picture. I fuckin' love these detective games. I fuckin' love reading and journaling, and I'm entertaining these thoughts a lot different than I ever used to. I have plans to finally do what I wanted to do back in January and buy a bass guitar in a couple weeks.

I want to meet up with these friends. I want to meet up with the couple cool people I've met so far at school.

I found some glittery watercolor paints on Temu and like, yo! I've been lookin' for those! I'm so excited that my little sis is coming here in a bit. We're gonna have a good time. I wake up in the morning and you know what's crazy? I don't hate showering in the morning. It actually feels kinda refreshing. I stop in at the shell and buy some monsters and look forward to seeing the cashier. I eat my frozen microwave meals on lunch break and savor the taste. I play Disney songs and it's fun as hell to sing with my friend and know she's not judging me for it. I sit inside myself and think about how I felt when I saw that one person I only know of really, and it brought up the same bubbling of love in my heart, the way I wish I could love her and hold her, and in another life, I would... I would.

And it hit me again, the way it KEEPS hitting me. The pages are turning, man. I am gay, and it's fucking crazy to me sometimes I ever got here, because how the hell did my Mormon ass ever get here, lol? Jesus. I wish I could slap myself in the head so much, and for once I don't mean in the I-have-deep-remorse-and-shame-for-that-unfair-person-I-have-to-unlearn-to-be, but in the, goddamn you dummy, it really took ya til you were an adult to realize that for you, huh? I just wanna tell that part of me, "Go sit down." Lol. Lordy.

I realize so much how fuckin' haunted living feels sometimes. I know when I start dreaming about certain people and unfinished business again that I need the love of connection again. I've been feeling that, not knowing where my path onward leads with certain people, people I once couldn't imagine a future without, and dreaming oddly enough of my old ex. It's so weird how my brain remembers that feeling of loving and wanting to be loved, and the vulnerability in a relationship knowing you're the only one they're sharing some parts with, and as shitty as it was - I valued being a safe space for him, even to be safely broken. As much contempt as I feel, I also wish him to be incredibly well. Those feelings resurface in my dream of my sadness and unfinishedness, and the way I want to be loved by people who don't seem like they can. But man. We're gonna be okay.

The fact I'm out here now is proof of pushing forward and moving onward, and the fact that I find connection and connection finds me again in new ways all over again, is proof that the nature of life is to not only take, but also to give. Like the sentiment that if life is endlessly cleaning our dirty rooms and having to cook ourselves food every damn day, then that means life is also about the delight of a clean room and having homecooked meals. Like that post, good things come and go. But they come! They do.

I suppose I say all this to say, I'm grateful. Thank you for every new thing I learn. Thank you for every time I feel my disillusionment return, I remember what I must do, and most of the time it's that I gotta sleep as much as I can, and tell myself I'm doing okay like I'm a kid, and do some adult shit, and hey, I know the adult shit only ramps up in intensity. There's stuff now that's haunting me. But that's okay. I'm glad to be here. I'm happy to be here. I'm singing my favorite song again, and I feel it. I feel the salty waves come in, I feel them crash against my skin, and I smile as I respire because I know they'll never win. Hell yeah. They won't.
