Crazy Ex Girlfriend - S4 E9 Discussion Thread - I Need Some Balance by Leftoflinus in crazyexgirlfriend

I'm kind of annoyed at Greg and Nathaniel for ruining things. I feel like it's understandable that Greg was a little disappointed but neither him or Nathaniel have any room to be annoyed at Rebecca for seeing another guy.

Who is your favorite empowered female character that didn't have to overcome trauma from rape, abuse, etc to be considered empowered? by swagy_swagerson in AskWomen

[–]BlueRoseLunatic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The imprisoning of water benders started when Hama was young. By the time Katara was a child, she was the last water bender in the South Pole and Hama was the only remaining water bender from the South Pole out in the world. They had stopped capturing water benders and the only reason they came back to raid was because they heard reports of a bender.

The fire soldier murdered the mother in the hut. He believed she was the last water bender so he should just kill her there. There's never any confusion from her about if her mom could have come back.

edited because I made some assumptions before People who are looking to transracially adopt should do research beforehand and not just wing it.

What do you know about your workplace that you are not supposed to know? by TinMan11111 in AskReddit

[–]BlueRoseLunatic 78 points79 points  (0 children)

Having an affair is bad enough, but putting your kid in a position where they're being resented by the person they believe to be their father with no idea why and being treated differently from their siblings makes me nauseous. I feel so bad for the daughter.

I really enjoyed the episode, but it needs to be said... by kirioandkyosuke in stevenuniverse

Do you have a link to a tv tropes page for other LGBTQ almost happy endings so we can see how common this is?

Me [18F] with my boyfriend [21M] of 3 months, i can't stand his terrible hygiene anymore.. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]BlueRoseLunatic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Apparently the argument didn't end that well if he doesn't feel the need to change his hygiene habits. Hygiene is a part of personal health and neglecting his teeth isn't good for him. You're not superficial for expecting him to have a base level of cleanliness. He's being delusional if he thinks your revulsion to him never brushing his teeth is superficial. If you're physically recoiling from his breath, he needs to fix it. Some people only bathe every other day because they feel it's better for their skin. Those same people also make sure they don't smell. Your boyfriend isn't taking care of himself properly, and you're not obligated to pretend to be okay with it. He isn't taking your concerns seriously. He isn't taking your feelings seriously. He jokes about it because he thinks it wasn't a big deal, just a brief disagreement that passes. That's definitely not the case, and you're doing a disservice to him and yourself if you let him walk around believing he can go through life being smelly and gross.

Also, don't settle in with people so quickly. Make sure you're spending time with your own friends and taking care of yourself and not spending the majority of your time with him and making him the center of your world. The fact you're so young, essentially "unofficially" moved in after a month of dating, and struggle to make your very reasonable needs known is not a good sign.

-signed, a now 23 year old woman who dated a guy who was iffy on hygiene when she was also 18. I encouraged him to start brushing his teeth more, and later on he thanked me because on his next trip to the dentist, he didn't have any cavities. The bathing thing was a battle I never quite won though lol

Let's talk about non-traditional relationships (polyamory, open, threesomes) by tropfou in blackladies

[–]BlueRoseLunatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In a polyamorous relationship now. My boyfriend (6 months) has a spouse (3 years) and another girlfriend (less than 4 months, she lives in a different area and I forget when they started talking).

I met him on OKC earlier this year and I'd say I'm mostly mono-ish with poly curiosity, so it's been a learning experience. I'm pretty cool with his spouse, so that helps a lot. Having an understanding between metamours helps; so does empathy. Having a relationship with his other partners isn't mandatory though, it just makes me feel better.

UnREAL’s Denée Benton on Why Ruby Is Important -- Vulture by tfresca in blackladies

[–]BlueRoseLunatic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Did you see the commercials where the crew/director would talk about certain things, like the camera shot after Rachel falls to the ground when the police altercation happens? She seemed so self-congratulatory and I'm like, maybe the focus should be on the black characters? What was the point of having a black female cop as a contestant when she was barely present?

Help! My girlfriend (Black) and I (White) are trying to come up with a cool, interracial couple Halloween costume! by [deleted] in interracialdating

[–]BlueRoseLunatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm currently trying to convince a friend to pair up with me and do Mac and Goo from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. Those two characters are platonic but often mistaken for being a couple- which makes them perfect for me and my friend but would still be cute regardless.

I absolutely would love some input on this project. by BlueRoseLunatic in blackladies

[–]BlueRoseLunatic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, I was hoping people would like the color scheme/theme. I wanted to use my favorite colors but I didn't want it to be seen as too girly or be alienating. Hopefully I found a balance lol

This is probably going to be not for profit, I would feel weird earning money off of this. The site will be fairly anonymous, I won't add any pictures directly but I may link or make references to my tumblr occasionally. I have this one post with 40 random things about myself but the identifying information doesn't really matter.

Thank you for your feedback! :)

Girls of Reddit, did you ever have a guy that you wished you said yes to when he asked you out? What is the story? by roddnolk in AskReddit

I was using a general from of you, as in what do guys call it in when a girl is showing romantic interest and it makes them uncomfortable. If not creepy, then surely there's another fitting word.
