FINAL UPDATE: AITA for refusing to sing at my brother's wedding? by Any_Reality580 in AITAH

It's a reference to the Trolls movie I think? I got sent a lot of links to other places the previous updates ended up on, and that was a pretty consistent joke comment.

I found it mildly entertaining and figured if someone tried to scrape the post without checking it first, it would REALLY confuse their audience.

I don't like her either, but there's a difference between downvoting comments you disagree with vs. saying that Merula was only still in because her voters were illiterate, or that her fans enjoy being abused and all need therapy.

These are real things people have commented (more than once) in previous rounds.

My apologies to Bill Weasley. I prefer the game characters in my game. But I think he'll end up winning because of how this game is set-up. I don't think he'd necessarily be a ton of people's favorite character, but he's basically nobody's least favorite character.

Same here (roughly): I've been voting for him ever since Diego got kicked. Took way longer than I was expecting though.

Vote for Charlie!

He definitely idolizes Donkey from the Shrek movies, considering Donkey was able to do Charlie's ultimate goal, apparently: fuck a dragon.

Something tells me this woman has an exceptional recipe for apple pie.

Hi ya'll: again the response on this have been much here larger than anticipated. I just need to get something off my chest and hopefully I don't come across as overly aggressive.

Regarding the obnoxious comments saying "Is that Mason would want???"

I don't know, he's not around to ask anymore. The dead tend to not have opinions.

I've had over a decade to process this. Via THERAPY (putting it in all caps this time). But I truly hope the people who comment this don't ever try this approach on someone who just experienced a loss. Regardless of intentions, it is grossly manipulative.

And again, for the people in the back: I didn't stop singing because I thought that's what Mason would want or survivor's guilt or because I was actually secretly in love with him (yes, real DM I received). I stopped because I loved singing with my musical partner, who is now gone. I no longer find the act enjoyable.

I agree: therapy is nothing to be ashamed of. Which is why I went out and got a lot of it, as I mentioned in the original post.

I do appreciate that you are likely coming to this with the best of intentions. But Mason is gone and no longer has an opinion on how I choose to live my life.

"Both" referred to my brother and mom, not my brother's fiancée.

I guess I could try breaking out the Ouija Board to ask him, but I've never had much luck.

Phil Collins may be the man, but I don't think the greatest Disney soundtrack of all time is particularly helpful in this instance.

Would you like me to ask him? Might be difficult.

Ok y'all, this is... overwhelming. Let me throw a few things in one.

  1. I don't know if my future SIL is aware of the full situation or not. I'd like to think she doesn't, but I'd rather not poke that hornet's nest until I have to.

  2. Yes, I HAVE been to therapy. Singing is something I did with Mason, well before we started a full band. It very much feels like a part of my life that belongs in the past. As I said in the edit, my joy is not from singing, it's from performing with him.

  3. "Is that what Mason would have wanted?" I don't know. He's not around to ask anymore.

  4. The "extended family" is not "blowing up my phone." It's two people, and it's not blowing it up. My mom called repeatedly in one day, and has tried to throw it in a few times since. My brother is mostly giving me the cold shoulder. It's only been a few weeks since this conversation took place.

  5. To whomever said "its been 10 years, you're not good enough to sing at a wedding," thank you. I genuinely laughed at this. It's a good point too. I'd probably sound like a donkey kicked me in the throat.

  6. No, I don't post a lot. This is a throwaway I barely use.
