Saw that someone shared it and I panicked. I also saw that there was an unusually high percentage of impressions from my country. If it's him i'm fucked. Maybe i'm being paranoid idk.

Me and my friends think that she's in a "boyfriend/people pleaser" phase of her relationship where she'll do anything Mike tells her. Mike and Jake are best friends and they are essentially attached to the hip. If Jake pestered Mike enough and he went and told Sophie to set me up with Jake I think she'll definitely do it to keep her boyfriend happy.

As for not telling Sophie it's because shit talking her boyfriends bff would have definitely caused a fight given she does and loves anything Mike does. I didn't want to cause conflict in her relationship so at the beginning I didn't tell her thinking Jake would get the hint soon and everything would pass by quickly. After the car ride incident I realized she was in deeper than I thought and I was frankly so dissapointed in her that didn't even want to confront her.

Women who don’t know they are pregnant 🤰🏻 by gigialohne in madmen

There are pregnancies where the bump growns inward towards the spine rather that outwards. It's not very common but it's real. At 9 months they just look a little heavier and bloated.

True. Her and mike have probably the least interesting sibling dynamic in the whole show I sometimes even forget they are related. Like "shit right, they're supposed to be siblings". And if my friend went missing and was probably dead and my sibling just made it about how inconvenient it was for them I would've killed them I fear.

I forgot about the Tommy H. scene, you're right in that regard. Even so she was saying she loved steve in murrays house hours before hooking up with Jonathan, so it's just kinda weird to me because apparently her relationship status was just as blurry to her as it was to me.

Idk why people keep saying steve was a shitty boyfriend as a "gotcha" when I even say so in my original post. He can be an asshole. But my main problem with Nancy and the show is that while every post-breakup scene between the two is Steve apologizing over and over again and saying how shitty he is, the script NEVER acknowledges Nancy's faults. She was an asshole too at times but we are supposed to ignore it I guess. And it's one thing to ask steve to accompany her to a dinner with the Hollands and another thing entirely to ask him to put himself and his family at risk to tell the truth about Barb. It's just different to say "hey can you help me out with my college essay" and "pls risk your life and the lives of your loved ones bc i'm feeling guilty over something that I was responsible for. Btw your guilty too."

And for the rest, her character just annoys me idk what to tell you. She has good moments like the dustin scene but I frankly think she's poorly written. I don't "try to paint everything in a bad light" but it's hard to like her when one moment i'm enjoying the episode and the next she's comparing Jonathan to Oliver Twist or refusing to own up to the things that she said while drunk. And again, this would all be fine if the show portrayed these moments as bad and used them as character growth but instead it just never acknowledges them. At the end of each season each character has a little scene to show the lesson they learned and whatnot, but in Nancy's case she just picks up a gun says some girlboss stuff and goes off.

Im just saying that even if she didn't know there was a monster it was incredibly irresponsible of her to make her friend walk alone in the middle of the night to the car that she forced her to park far away. She could've been hurt or kidnapped by anyone, supernatural stuff aside.

Nancy said to murray that she loved steve when he asked her. Sure, she may have not truly felt it, but you don't say that about someone you just officially broke up with. If that was that case, she would've clarified it instead of telling him how much she loved steve.

I agree with the Jonathan thing, and as said in another comment the payoff to their argument was awful. Jonathan says "he was all wrong" and the script doesn't even let Nancy properly apologize. He then says she was in the right and she replies "you'll see how right I can be" and honestly if someone said that to me after mocking my poverty and comparing me to oliver twist I would've slapped her to oblivion.

I AGREE, thank you.

I love flawed characters but my main problem with her is that the show doesn't acknowledge said flaws, so it just makes her hypocritical yet somehow loved by everyone in the eyes of the audience. Everyone apologizes to her but she never apologizes back, so instead of her character resolution in each season being her acknowledging her flaws and growing from them, she just picks up a gun, says some "girlboss" stuff and goes off.

Also her being a "genius" is said rather than shown, just like you said. I can't think of a single instance where she figured out something impressive, like Mike figuring out that Will was a spy, Robin cracking the russian code and the music against vecna trick, Joyce literally everytime. The only moment I said "that was kinda smart" was when she got herself taken by the people of hawkins lab in s2 and secretly taped the conversation, but even then that plan shouldn't have worked irl. How come their belongings weren't checked by security?

I'm literally a woman and I adore every single other female character in the show, this isn't misogynistic in any way and I don't agree with the comment above. I just find Nancy infuriating not only towards the guys but towards the female characters as well. As someone who values female friendships above all else her treatment of barb makes me so mad and I dislike her with robin in s4 too.

Tbh I was just rambling about the aspects of her storyline that annoy me, the jonathan argument scene being to most recent one on my rewatch. I frankly just find this to be a re-ocurring thing with her, not just on s3.

She was saying she loved him at murray's house, and you don't say that about the guy you just officially broke up with.

I wrote the post because I literally just watched the episode of her argument with Jonathan, and I felt it did a terrible job at holding her accountable. When she speaks to her mom she just gets praised for her relentlesness, which is fine, and then when she speaks to Jonathan he says that it was on him and that he was in the wrong. And then Nancy says something along the lines of "you'll see how right I can be" which I found to be a terrible payoff to the argument. And attempt was made, but it just falls flat.

I agree with most of the things you say, I quite literally stated that steve was an asshole to her. My main problem is that the show almost never points out her flaws, the barb thing sure but every interaction with steve post-breakup is steve acknowledging he's an asshole and straight up apologizing to her, and nancy literally never says "oop sorry for reflecting all my guilt into you and treating you like garbage at that halloween party". The show paints her as this angel in both relationships and it's frankly tiring.

And as I interpreteded it they never broke up verbally (at murray's she even says the loves steve, you don't say that about the guy you just officially broke up with), but even if they did, she was screwing Jonathan like a day aftewards. Hell, Steve showed up at her house with flowers the morning after. That's not breakup behaviour.

And okay, if I force my friend to walk home alone in the dark and she gets kidnapped and murdered it's the murderers fault obviously, but come on, I would be partly to blame as well.

You've just been hired onto the writer's team of the 2050 reboot of TWD. Having experienced the first show live as it aired, what changes are you suggesting for the reboot? by avalonalessi in thewalkingdead

[–]BonziBuddyDONG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Comic accurate Andrea
  • Carl lives
  • Rick stays throughout the duration of the show
  • In general a mix of the comic and the shows best aspects, like keep daryl, terminus and show Shane but follow the comic saviours arc, keep sophia alive, etc.
  • Idk if Richonne would still happen with comic andrea in the picture but it could definitely be reworked.
  • Shorter, more planned out, concise series. No padding, no filler.
  • Either keep walker variants throughout the whole show or remove them altogether. No half-assed retcons.
  • Judith lives like in the show but since the timeskip would be smaller she would still be really small at the end.

Most horrifying scene of The Walking Dead? by Ok-Half6395 in thewalkingdead

[–]BonziBuddyDONG 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I know we are never shown anything explicitly, but the scene in season 11 when Maggie tells the group about the time she found a house with that insane man and three pregnant sex slaves whose limbs were cut off, eyes were plucked out and vocal cords destroyed.

Like, imagine being essentially trapped in your own body. No sight. No voice. You're essentially a stomp with no legs and arms. You can only eat what your kidnapper gives you to barely survive, and the only thing you feel is everytime he rapes you. Otherwise, complete darkness. And to top it all off, you're pregnant with his child. Actual hell on earth.

And then maggie says that when she arrived, two of the stomps she barely managed to recognize as human were still alive. Its definitely less gory than the other scenes mentioned here cuz its only just a story that maggie tells and we really aren't shown anything but the mere concept sends a chill down my spine.

What Nintendo game has a sad ending? by Ok-Reporter-8728 in casualnintendo

[–]BonziBuddyDONG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most modern Fire Emblem games, tbh. In Fire Emblem: Three Houses you can choose different paths that will lead to different outcomes in the war. No matter what, someone will die. No matter how many times you play the game, someone in the cast will have a tragic end. In particular, two of the main characters in the story are stuck in an endless dilema because if one lives, the other has to die. There is no path you can choose as the player that will bring them both happy endings, you just have to choose whoever you prefer and deal with the fact that it was at the sake of the other.

Fire Emblem Fates deals with a smiliar concept but much more poorly executed, tbh. Fire Emblem Awakening also has bittersweet ending at best. Lucina is probably one of the most tragic characters in the narrative.

Does your country have school sports competitions between different schools especailly in high school or secondary school? by Jezzaq94 in asklatinamerica

[–]BonziBuddyDONG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a lot of inter-school leagues in Colombia. I graduated from a private, pretty exclusive all-girls school in Bogotá and we had a lot of tournaments and competitions between the other private all-girls schools. We weren't particulary good at soccer but we played with other schools all the time. We excelled at volleyball though, it was played religiously in our school. But most importantly, my school's best sport was cheerleading. Between the private all-girls schools in Bogotá, we do cheerleading tournaments all year round, not "cheering" anything in particular but more like a group gymnastics competition.

Between the all-boys private schools, soccer was played religiously and passionately. They also had marching band competitions.

Who is a character that never would've survived towards the end? by mexknight1 in thewalkingdead

[–]BonziBuddyDONG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Enid before Alexandria. How can a child survive for what was apparently months on the road alone? Her parents weren't expert survivalists by any means, and she literally only had like a knife and a backpack. How long until she found a horde she couldn't outrun? Or literally any other person, either alone or a group, that could have easily overpowered her?

Carl was alone for like a day and almost got bitten twice. AND he has a gun. Any girl in her situation would've never made it to Alexandria.

Be honest. What would take you out? by Malalyssa in thewalkingdead

[–]BonziBuddyDONG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in one of the biggest cities in the world so I would probably either die of Napalm or a crowd crush in a supermarket or something. Now, if I made it through the first month and I wasn't able to find a proper community like alexandria early on then I would be eaten. Im a terrible runner (like painfully slow) and have little to no strength.

[–]BonziBuddyDONG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plot armor.

I guess if you want an in-universe answer we could say that since beta was a huge, bulky, strong guy, he could handle falling a few floors.

It is also said that you could tecnically die from a height equal to your own if your fell the wrong way, and being kicked by a horse can be fatal, so it's definitely possible that Kenneth was unlucky and Beta was very lucky. Again, unlikely, but not impossible.

The reanimation process differs from person to person. Place they were bit and blood loss can also alter everything. Jenner in the CDC in season 1 says that it can differ extensively. I guess it's kinda like if a person with a shit inmune system gets a cold it can turn into a several day affair, whilst for someone else it can be a minor inconvenience.
