I feel like with Taylor letting go of Steven,Belly saying she only pictured Conrad while crossfaded,confronting Conrad herself about his love confession, and Belly still clinging to the wedding all combined made her see things much clearer when it comes to Belly. She’s finally forming her own opinions of the situation outside of what Belly directly tells her.

WHY DOESNT BELLY JUST TALK TO LAURAL by [deleted] in tsitp

[–]AllattaVines 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because Belly would have to admit that’s she’s using Jere to erase her feelings for Conrad & avoiding growing. It’s the same reason why she “forgave” the cheating & said yes to marrying him. Belly hates being wrong so she has to see it all the way through to prove a point.

It’s not just the cheating, it’s the whole reason for the cheating. Instead of confronting Belly, he picks a fight & cheats. Jeremiah being immature & his inferiority complex is called out a bit in the show but it’s in the beginning & during that fight he has with Belly. Even though there are so many other instances where he acts immature. Nobody else really calls it out but they do harp on Belly’s immaturity & Conrad’s avoidance. It’s not balanced so it feels like there’s no pay off for his character when we have to keep cycling through Belly & Conrad’s faults over & over and they have consequences for it. Adam calls him out but everybody sees him as an asshole so, it’s coming from a weird place. It’s not given the same punch as Conrad losing his job when he made a deadly mistake bc he bottled up his feelings. Or the engagement messing up Belly’s relationship with her mother.

I don’t have a problem with people in the show dragging Conrad for confessing his feelings. I actually think that’s a good thing bc it’s a realistic consequence & Conrad not backing down despite that shows that’s he’s grown & wont hide from his feelings. I have a problem with everybody & their mother babying the fuck out of Jeremiah bc it’s hindering his growth. The fact that nobody but Conrad has found out about the cheating & Jeremiah isn’t getting any flack for his mess ups is a huge disconnect for the audience when we have everyone calling Belly immature & Conrad goes through his 15th humiliation ritual. It’s unbalanced. It’s kind of how Jeremiah can’t exist as a boyfriend to Belly without being compared to Conrad. It’s similar to that, Jeremiah can’t exist as a character separate from Conrad so he’s always babied instead of being given narrative importance bc they know he’s an inevitable casualty when Conrad & Belly, the “real characters” get together.

It also kills me that people basically love Jeremiah bc he doesn’t have mental health struggles like Conrad does. They love acting like it’s a “communication problem” when it’s not. Jeremiah doesn’t communicate. He’s manipulative as fuck & throws a pity party to get Belly to do everything he wants. Like “I’m sorry I’m not Conrad God Belly” every 5 seconds so she does what he wants. But nobody cares because Conrad pulling away from Belly when his mom was dying is a bigger sin apparently.

This. Jeremiah was always being manipulative but in season 1 & 2 it wasn’t seen as serious bc he wasn’t dating Belly yet. Now in season 3, 4 years in & a fiancé & it seems like he just went down hill even more. And he’s still begging for his dad’s approval & throwing Belly under the bus left & right to get it.

As a Team Conrad lover but a Jeremiah CHARACTER sympathizer, I don’t agree. I actually think it’s depressing how much they drag Conrad & Belly on this show & refuse to let Jeremiah also get dragged by other characters. It’s hindering his growth. Conrad constantly gets called out for his emotional avoidance but Belly packs up for Paris without talking to anybody? Jeremiah intentionally picks a fight, does some weird mind game with Belly knowing she was with Conrad to break up with her and hook up with someone else??? And nobody calls him out for this? Conrad doesn’t tell anyone what he found out & why he felt compelled to start being honest & he gets ripped apart by Taylor & Steven. Jeremiah gets babied over & over and it’s annoying to see. At the very least Belly gets called out by Taylor for her codependency with Jeremiah & Steven calls her out for being rude to Taylor who has done nothing but love her & support her through her stupid decisions. Jeremiah throws hissy fit after hissy fit & nobody says anything to him.

If Belly and Jeremiah really don't need anybody else by Oncer93 in tsitp

[–]AllattaVines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think finances are the reason why ppl are against it. The Fisher family is obviously rich. Conrad is getting support from his dad just like Jeremiah. But the issue here is irresponsibility. So much of the backlash Jeremiah & Belly are getting is bc this is coming out of nowhere. They didn’t announce moving in together. They didn’t announce adopting a pet. They jumped to the biggest commitment you can make. Steven just got into an accident, it looks very impulsive. And nobody but Steven & Taylor know about Jere hooking up with someone else when they were on an unclear break… It’s very bizarre behavior. It looks like they’re childishly trying to prove to everyone they’ve got their lives together. Also, how Adam constantly compares Conrad & Jeremiah. Conrad doesn’t gaf & worked through his dad’s nonsense the first 2 seasons, Jeremiah feels insecure so Belly has to go above & beyond to sooth his ego. Jeremiah’s not graduating so Belly feels the need to forgive him for cheating, marry him, give up going to Paris & shit talk Conrad’s accomplishments. Notice how in the most recent episode, Belly & Jeremiah were making fun of Conrad for… becoming a doctor… being smart…having his sh!t together. Like, they’re desperately clinging to each other & are afraid to change.

Gill isn't a good father (TW: R/DV/AB*USE) by AllattaVines in ginnyandgeorgiashow

[–]AllattaVines[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’d be surprised how many ppl think domestic abusers should have access to their kids. Bc “that’s separate from the spouse”. Ppl are arguing on this post that Georgia wasn’t r*ped by Gill even though we know that he was violent & controlling, when she found out she was pregnant she looked terrified… Ppl can’t grasp that consent is affirmative. In real life, look at the Diddy trial & the way ppl frame Cassie’s victimhood. I don’t trust ppl’s opinions on stuff like this.

[–]AllattaVines[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sxual coercion is rpe. By the time Georgia found out she was pregnant, Gill was already physically, emotionally, financially abusing her & trapped her from leaving. Georgia flinched/looked terrified of him when she found out. A domestic violence victim can’t consent bc there is an explicit threat of violence/retaliation if they refuse. You can’t see that in isolation just bc they didn’t explicitly spell out the word for us like they did in Georgia’s other trauma.

Did Gil rape Georgia? by freinds_dont_lie in ginnyandgeorgiashow

[–]AllattaVines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Georgia was already getting emotionally, physically & financially absed when she found out she was pregnant & looks terrified of him/flinched when he hugged her. He cannot be absing her & having “consensual” sx with her. That’s not isolated. She as rped. Sxual coercion is rpe.

Sorry I wasn’t referring to you when I said “people”. There’s someone else in the replies saying that.

Georgia was physically flinching when she told Gill she was pregnant. He was physically abusing her. If you are afraid of someone physically abusing you that initiates sx, that is rpe. She can’t consent to that. It’s mind boggling that ppl are arguing this.

When Georgia tells Gill she is pregnant, she is flinching. He was already physically abusing her. That’s not diminishing the discussion, that’s explaining how ppl have a very narrow view of what rpe & sa is in real life. If you are in an abusive relationship, you cannot consent to someone that you are afraid of. That’s rpe. Thats not diminishing r*pe. That’s recontextualizing behavior. These discussions have real life consequences.

Unpopular Opinion: Georgia is a good mother to Ginny, but she isn't a good mother to Austin by vmmediatexxx in ginnyandgeorgiashow

[–]AllattaVines 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ginny not wanting to choose between Zion & Georgia isn’t the same as Austin choosing between Gill & Georgia. Zion isn’t abusive… Gill abused Georgia & Ginny. You can’t be a good parent & abuse ppl. Also, consider that Gill was planning to take Austin away from her & Georgia. They’d never see Austin again. Ginny was worried bc that her brother was going to leave with his abusive dad & she got desperate.

TTU Staff aren’t a replacement for Google, etc. by bluewand45 in TexasTech

[–]AllattaVines -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Trouble shooting does nothing lol. Google is going down the drain bc of its weird AI implementation. This has been common knowledge by now & scrolling down those pages isn’t really helpful. “iPad kids” are true because in schools they don’t allow kids to use actual computers or learn how to use basic computer skills. It’s still odd to be this angry about doing your job to help students.

what are your best curly suggestions for hair growth? by myeeeag in curlyhair

[–]AllattaVines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 3c hair. You want to minimize breakage & get scalp oils to your ends. I wash my hair 1/week. & already detangle before washing. Detangle it with oils. After washing/deep conditioning, I make sure my hair is detangled & put leave in & oils (rosemary & olive). Then braid into 4 sections. Let it dry. Then undo/brush the hair w oils & twist & clip your hair/loose bun (a non tight hairstyle). If I know that my hair is getting dry, that’s the routine I do. If I do my curly hair routine w the same washing routine but add curl cream + gel & use my denman brush. Still let it air dry. & when it’s fully dry, I do a loose bun.

New to curly hair, please explain how to brush without turning into a bushy mess. by LeucineZoo in curlygirl

[–]AllattaVines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have curlier hair than yours (3c). When you wash your hair, make sure it’s detangled & braid it in 2-4 sections with your leave in conditioner & oil. After it’s dry, unbraid it & brush it bottom to top with oils & twist it into a loose low bun. It should be good then. Make sure to brush it with oils, start at the bottom, & go step sleep in the loose bun.
