Shaaba: i can excuse misogyny but i draw the line at videogame inaccuracies 😂
i can't help but hear the phrase "banana bones" to the tune of the "banana phone" song
Same hahaha
Oh no, now it's in my head! Thanks...
For some reason I immediately heard it to the tune of Mahna-Mahna
Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring, banana boooneeeessss
BOPIDEBOPIBOP!😂
"I quit your legacy for lesbianism!" lmao me @ my father
"I quit that for lesbianism!" Might me by new favourite phrase 😂
@@R41n3-c3j And then she joined the Secret Six and gained Bane as a sort-of second father. And only got gayer.
Bless Gail Simone.
Let’s all leave our fathers’ legacies for favour of lesbianism ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
@@TitaniaBird At least Bane didn't try to be her lover. He believed she needed a better father more than a male lover (and was at least correct about that much).
Yes, yes, piles of blessings on Gail Simone.
For Eucalyptus, the story isn't set in an apocalypse, it's set in rural Australia where the dirt is often times described as red and is close to red in most of the country.
yeah I feel like she got caught up in the body description and missed those key details. I was like "... I mean it's crazy out there but I wouldn't call Australia post-apocalyptic" lmao
@@hexonyou honestly how would most of Australia look any different in an apocalypse?
@@M_Alexander I can't believe no one's referenced Mad Max here.
Next time I change jobs and anyone asks what happened to my previous one I'll answer "Oh, you know, I quit that for lesbianism."
This was great. Yes, do them with Jaime. Please don't give him any warning. Can't wait to see his face and reaction! Great video! ❤
Also hymens as a tissue "sealing" the vagina is basically a myth fanned by creepy obsession with virginity... In Sweden, we generally call it the vaginal corona instead (slidkrans) to dispell these old-fashioned ideas, because the old Swedish name (mödomshinna) basically means virgin membrane which really underscores the myth that you can look at it to determine if someone's had sex or not. It's a piece of tissue near the vagina but except in rare cases it's not a membrane covering it. That this myth is alive and well in so many people's minds - and books - really just makes me sad.
Sooo many authors seem to think a hymen is like a capri-sun seal, and it just pops open when you insert the straw.
@@AlizzaLuna exactly! Such a good observation because it's hilarious and horrible at the same time 😂😭
It’s great that there’s a new word for hymen in Swedish to try and dispel old fashioned and inaccurate notions! I am going to have to defend Brent Weeks here, though since he writes from the characters’s point of view and the characters are all living in a medieval fantasy world. It would be quite in line with the antiquated and bizarre way of thinking back then.
@@armie4172 Just because bigoted nonsense exists doesn't mean there aren't people of all time periods who know it is BS. For examples of bigotry people like Lovecraft and Columbus were well documented to be described as incredibly racist and otherwise bigoted by people of those times and for nonsense heliocentrism and the earth being round were not nearly as "new" theories as popular culture would have you believe.
Also clearly people still buy into it so it's hardly "old fashioned".
@@armie4172 i do see where youre coming from, but i dont agree. If youre writing something upholding such a dangerous myth because "its the olden times", which for one, it's a fantasy book, so its really not, the least you should do is have another character dispell it somehow, because so many people believe in it still that youre just upholding the myth if you dont.
"Where is the wrong place to look healthy?" Idk but my guess would be the waist.
Also: "Pixelated yellow yapping blobs" is the most epic description of Pac-Man imaginable. Now I wanna play Pac-Man. 😀
YAY LESBIANISM!
Yeah, maybe they mean healthy like generous? So, like, she's got big boobs and big hips but a tiny little waist like an anime?
I like that you include the author and book cause im always curious of where they come from as other videos dont always include them
Okay, but the House of Leaves one makes sense for the character in context, tbh.
Given the fact that some of the book is backwards, upsidedown, written in code, or hidden in footnotes in completely unrelated parts of the book, it really fits. I can't recommend reading it enough, it's a ride.
It's not an easy read and definitelly not a book for everyone, but I enjoyed it. It was certainly an experience XD
1:38 That's not an apocalypse, that's just a normal day in Arizona.
Isn't that the same thing though?
It'd certainly be the end of MY world if I get plopped into some desert!
Healthy in all the right places reminds me of that trend in the Victorian era where it was super fashionable to look like you had a mild case of tuberculosis that gave you fainting spells...
Bannana bones sounds like a serous condition where either: your bones become mush, your bones curve slightly, or your bones develop brown spots.
Remember to get enough calcium and other essential vitamins and minerals so you don’t get banana bones!
you’re right it does!
It was so nice to hear all your chuckles at this hilarious prose!
Yes. Would love to see you & Jamie do this thread together!❤
16:27 Shaaba’s belly laugh gives me life.
Ok this is the first time that I've really enjoyed a video of Men writing women and I think Shaaba you being the one presenting it made all the difference. Other creators I've seen cover this haven't been able to break down in the giggles at the ridiculous and that's what I relate to best for this. 💚💚💚
I have to defend House of Leaves. It's a phenomenal, extremely mind twisting book. The author's sister is the singer Poe and she wrote a whole album to accompany it. The radio version of Hey Pretty even includes her brother reading an excerpt from the book. The entire book is a masterclass study in unreliable narrators and it 100% fits that Johnny Truant, the top layer character in a Russian doll of characters slowly going crazy, would have made a comparison this absurd.
yeah!
yeah i was going to comment this too! the point is that, yes it is a bizarre thing to say about a woman because that is exactly how he sees them. more like men writing men writing men writing men writing women in this case (also had no idea haunted was about house of leaves holy shit!!! knew poe from alan wake lmao)
yeah i was about to say this!! like i haven’t rlly gotten that far into the book, but from what i’ve seen, truant either embodies absolute insanity and obsession, or is acting like the truest of frat boys. either way, the pac man line would be wholly in line with his character.
can confirm, he seems intentionally written as a misogynist. seeing the book mentioned makes me want to finish it
Thanks Shaaba. I had a rough session with my new psychologist today (she seems great, it's just so draining to put all your hurts into words), and really needed a positive distraction. ❤
hugs to you peach! x
In the US South, "you look ... healthy" can be catty code for "You gained weight".
Eyyy that euphemism is extremely widespread in India as well
In House of Leaves, there's a house that changes dimensions (including time) that drives people mad. I have a concept album by the author's sister, Poe, that is a companion piece to the book, and it has a song called "5 1/2 Minute Long Hallway", so the book's not super concerned with logic.
The House of Leaves was so much fun to read.
I need to finish it so bad. I'm currently on page 167 of the original release with "house" printed in blue. Just gotta get the time to read it.
Laughs in the fact that my favourite Pac-Man game was Pac-Mania, in which Pac-Man jumped.
You HHHAAAVVVEEEE to read House of Leaves! It’s a heavy book (literally it’s freaking huge) and it’s a mission to read (a whole physical and mental adventure) but soooo worth the read! 🖤
Hearing one from Paul Cornell here was such a flashbang lmao, his writing for Doctor Who related stuff is super enjoyable, tbh the quote is just kinda funny here
men's nads as tiny turtles LOL. Love it
I have unhealthy-looking earlobes (earrings+American football don't mix), and I don't mind them too much:)
12:13 I dunno why this reminded me of my husband's hatred for "dead boobs." If he sees female dead body in a show or movie and the breasts are exposed, he's like, "Ah, no! dead boobs!"
It's moments like this that make me feel better about my writing. Sometimes I think I don't have the best descriptions, but they are never this bad lol.
Brent Weeks is actually one of the good ones.
This specific passage is also direct speech of one of the characters. If an author chooses to write their characters as misogynist idiots, they are free to do so.
Also, I need to say, Gavin Guile IS that hot, no matter which gender or preference :3
I needed this laugh! I swear, the feeling of impending doom over the US election is getting insane, it feels so good to laugh
Not to be "that guy" but the Pacman breast guy might be referring to the Gamecube and Wii Pacman, which is really bouncy I think? Judging by his appearance in Super Smash at least 😅 Also I think he has a whole pac-fam in those games.
But it -is- a lot more fun to imagine them as two big glowing pixel balls with eyes and a big mouth that goes "whack-a-whack-a" 🤣😁
I love the bugsnax references! My boyfriend bought me a cuddly strabby and he is the best thing ever!
Sharbaa. Ur nose is not just functional. It IS BEAUTIFUL
Hi! not a native speaker but currently in Mandarin 2, the name (14:26) would be pronounced Tsi-sheen Lee-ooh. Like saying the end of cats with a bit of an ee sound at the end, then a very clear sh- sound (that's what the X is in pinyin for Chinese!), then the surname is one syllable so it would be like a fast li-ooh. 2 things to note though: there aren't tones given, and tones in Chinese are v important as they can change the meaning of a word (like instead of the number four, you could be saying death. or instead of mother, you could be saying horse or slap). also it's possible the author speaks another dialect of Chinese than mandarin, and pronunciation differs a lot over dialects! the other v common dialect is Cantonese which I'm not v familiar with, but there's many, many others too :) hope this helps! you did a pretty good job tho, better than a substitute calling my classmate Yuxin (like you-sheen) "yucks-in" lmaooo
also I think this is one of the books in the same series as the three body problem, which has multiple adaptations and is critically acclaimed :0
I spat my water out at the pac man one in laughter 🤣🤣
Edit: "I quit your legacy for lesbianism!" Iconic
There's actually plenty of places in the world with red dirt, so post-apocalyptic it is not. I think it just means the dirt just has a lot of Iron Oxide in it?
“Nooooo scurrrrvyyyy!” Iconic. No notes. I will quote this every day forever.
I spit out my drink laughing so hard at this video 😂❤
12:16 I agree, these excerpts sound as if a comedian tried to write women as bad as they possibly could😂
Love you Shaaba!!🩷🩷🍑🍑
I cried laughing at this video. Loved it. 😂
Pretty sure 'health in all the right places' is code for 'she was curvy but not fat'.
10:00 Yeah, i broke my own and then didn't realize that was common, and then I was like, "wait, now If I sleep with a guy and I tell him it's my first time, he won't believe me, so I'll have to lie, but I don't know what I'm doing, and he'll know." So, I was in limbo for a few years.
Lol I learned about it and decided to try to stretch/break mine on purpose as a teen so it wouldn't hurt in the moment
This video was way too funny 😂 I actually had to stop doing my eye makeup because I was laughing so freaking hard 😂 😅 🤣
Definitely get Jammie to do one of these videos with you. I want to see his reaction to this ridiculousness
I nodded off near the very begining of this video and woke upto "I can't think of a character less bouncy than Pac-Man, dude..." And now I am very confused and incredibly intrigued.
i keep saying "banana bones" to the tune of "mah nah mah mah"
do doooo do do do, 🍌 🦴
The Figure 8. It is not truly mythical but only a small percentage of women have this build. In my teens and 20s I was close. Twenty-seven waist and 38 inch butt. Had 38 inch breast measurement but a lot of that was a larger than usual rib cage. Only had a B cup. Then having kids rearranged it all. Don't regret the kids. BTW I can always tell someone who's family lived more than 3 generations in Texas. The men all end up with dead flat butts. I still don't know if this is reflective of the original settlers of Texas or the climate sculpting their bodies.
"Curves in all the right places" makes me think of Mika - Big Girl (You Are Beautiful) and I feel like I'm showing my age... 😂
As a white American I honestly don't understand what could be "odd" about your nose, but I will say that I think girls get shamed about their noses really disproportionately. I was always told I had my dad's nose as a kid and it made me really self conscious, like "oh guess I have a man nose" and I hated it. I thought it was just me till I met my SIL, who, while also white, is from a completely different country and she also always hated being told she had her dad's nose.
I was always told I didn't have my dad's nose, but I certainly didn't have my mum's and people always said I looked like my dad, so I drew my own unflattering conclusions.

Does this count as a palate cleanser after watching ‘Heartstopper’ Season 3 lol
also came here right after finishing heartstopper s3
wait it's out is it?
I hope so because that's where I came from.
Omg I wasn't prepared for that. I was prepared for good feels, but I had to stop myself after three episodes
More of this video, please 🙏! And maybe with Jamie. You know, I can't tell if some of these are written seriously or not
8:16 oh! Oh! Also!!! Looking unhealthy in all the right places is when you have a huge greasy burger in your hand (and possibly some on your face too)
Shaaba, you are beautiful! Your nose is beautiful, your hair is beautiful, your whole being is beautiful.
love it when people write women who are sexually self obsessed with their own bodies
"What did your protagonist eat/drink/etc" - if it's the character I think it is, the answer is EVERYTHING.
6:44 Lol, maybe those types of characters that have just enough bag under their eyes to be found attractive? You mostly see it in scrawny masculine characters though or manic pixies. Tbh though, it probably was just a more polite (?) way to say "has fat in all the right places" or something.
7:40 That is such a humanocentric perspective! What if I'm a vampire and I want to look sicklishly pale in my face, or I'm a zombie trying to reach a norovirus shade of green?
Even if function wasn't the import thing, your nose is prefect.
18:28 im watching this as i sew before i go to bed and now this image will haunt my dreams thanks :)
If you're more than about an hour old, it's probably not good to have a healthy looking umbilical cord!
I feel the need to defend Jayne Ann Krentz because I've enjoyed several of her books in the past. She never seems to get too descriptive of her heroines, and I always assumed that was so I could picture them in whatever way I think "all the right place" should look. Perhaps I'm wrong though.🙃
10:26 JEN CALONITA!? DISNEY AUTHOR, WHAT ARE YOU DOINHG HERE
7:45 the only thing I can think of for wanting to look unhealthy in certain places is when people get crazy plastic surgery so they have lips that look like they're in anaphylactic shock & boobs almost up at their chin.
She looked healthy in all the places you don't usually see in day-to-day life: her perfect large intestine, which did its job without complaint, her gorgeous spleen, holding all that extra blood she might need someday, if heaven forfend, she were to get into an accident which might destroy her health and beauty and sexiness... I love these reactions, Shaaba.
17:45 H3roin and L$D lol. It is actually a great book
Gods, that first one came out swingin' with (what appears to my perception) as a grown man writing about a girl going through the hormonal imbalances associated with puberty. Gross!
Waka-waka-waka 😂-Pacman
Liu Cixin - I wonder if there was something lost in translation? Maybe 'banana boned' is a Chinese idiom that implies 'soft muscled' and the translator just brought it literally across?
I must admit that I don't recall that passage at all - though it's been 2-3 years since I've read the books...
Also - I'm still distracted by the 'tiny turtles bouncing in a hurricane'... :D
I'm an average sized dude, but I highly recommend using a "youth" length stock for a defensive shotgun. Whether you cut down a wood one, get a fixed poly one or take some spacers out of your fancy magpul stock it makes a noticeable difference in performance. The Maverick 88 will take Mossberg 500/590 series stocks.
17:21 actually pac man can bounce in pac man world 🤣
There actually are Pac-Man games where he does bounce. He had a whole 3D platformer era where bouncing was a core part of his moveset, partly acting as an attack. So the comparison actually implies that those breats are bouncing so vigorously they could seriously hurt someone.
I didn't originally buy "House of Leaves" for the writing
11:37 this being on page 2 reminds me of 2 books of a still developing triolofy at a ren faire
I asked the author that was in the stand if there was romance or anything like it in the book
He said no
Fucking first 3 pages already described a girls/womans boobs???
Like it was a pov from a dude so it was like the characters perspective but in 2 years i have never picked up that book again
The one time i will call a book a waste of money...
Do you think the book about the sexy woman running from a murderer is supposed to be a parody of horror films? I don't see how else the editor wasn't like "hmm you sure that's what you wanna go with?" 😂
INFO: Is "Rabbit Hunt" a parody of one of those slasher movies from the 80's? I could imagine the author being intentionally ridiculous as a joke about how sex is handled in 80's slasher movies.
Just to say that not all women even have a hyman. And that there have even been records of women giving birth and still have their hymens intact.
8:42 u mean knives out 😂
As a writer - it's more authors writing things that an editor should have caught - because that's what they are paid for.
Then on the other hand an editor can't make an author change anything.
I got sentences marked were I didn't get what's wrong. Most editors just mark and don't explain.
I am from Australia, the Eucalyptus description of the environment sounds just like typical Aussie country summer - Shaaba "its the Apocalypse!!" I suppose it feels that way to someone in the UK. Plus, creepy white dudes often tell me (who is also white) that I have an African butt as a pickup line ... Oh goody creepy, sexist AND racist. Just the trifecta I want in a significant other.
Shaaba you need to listen to "I Like Bananas Because They Have No Bones." from the 1930s
I inherited a giant nose from my father. For a long time I disliked it, but then I realized all my friends with tiny button noses COULDN'T BREATHE WELL! Or smell much! .....I have since gotten over my nose based insecurities
Be de ne be de ne be de ne.....banana bones!
Scandal savage is a pretty cool character (best when Gail Simone was writing her). (IRL The daughter abandoning her billionaire father for lesbianism happened when Gigi Chao turned down her father’s desires (her father offered a 127million dollar bounty to any man that could marry her)
I think "healthy in all the right places" means "healthy" as in a polite way to call someone heavyset but it's in the "right places" so it's voluptuous or "thicc" instead of fat
I have ALWAYS found the Asian nose incredibly beautiful.
A dear friend ive not seen in some years felt as you did.
Truely its lovely. All personal taste i guess ❤
I have one book by Brent Weeks. This is the guy that wrote "then they appeared in front of him. The perfect breasts." Or something like that. His little author bio in the book I have says that's "Brent Weeks has never owned a cat and never will." As if cats threaten his masculinity.
Maybe the wrong places to look healthy is internally. Like sure my liver looks healthy but what does it matter, you'll never know it looks healthy unless you're the coroner at my autopsy😅
Maybe it’s because I’m a trans woman, but the thought of my body being well preserved makes me want to not die even more lol
Maybe "healthy in all the wrong places" means she has huge feet which makes shoe shopping difficult. I'm on the other end - my shoe size is a US 6 1/2 Extra Wide and the average US woman's show size is 8 narrow, so shopping for shoes in regular stores is next to impossible as they rarely carry below a size 7 and never carry wide widths. And I know my friends with larger feet, even if they're regular or narrow, have extreme difficulty finding shoes that fit as well. And if you want goth shoes, forget it. They only seem to come on whole sizes, never half, and never wide. Plus a lot are that plastic "vegan leather" junk that you have to replace after a year and fills landfills with non-biodegradable waste when real leather or at least canvas shoes last longer and biodegrade.
2:50 i'm a woman with depression and even i very much do mind dying even if my body would be preserved. Maybe i am a nonbinary egg instead of a woman after all
Some of these are just…like wow. How are they coming up with this ish?? And how have these made it past an editor??
right! 👀
anneloid means worm like. You missed the best part of that passage ; p
White, middle-aged, Aussie woman here: Your nose is perfect, who told you there was something wrong with it? They need their head read.
BANANAS IN PAJAMAS I LOVED THAT SHOW WHEN I WAS LITTLE
I find this sub so frustrating as an author because how TF did these guys get published while most of us struggle to get our books out?
I guess it would be funny if the wrong place to look healthy, was like the armpits or something. Long luscious, thick and shiny armpit hair! I think many men would find that a turn off😂
I’m mildly upset no one came here to sing the banana bones song at you. I like bananas because they have no bones!
18:20 I had a dream like that when I was like nine and hadn’t seen 🍈🍈 yet.
They didn’t open like Pac-Man tho, they were more like…the folds of a toilet plunger???
Love your nose, it's a great nose!
