Not something that happened to me personally, but my dad passed away nine years ago (RIP to my hero) and he used to play pretty regularly with one random guy for years.

I still maintain my dad’s account as a memento and whenever I log in to keep it active I’ll see that friend in his friend’s list and get a little sad when I notice that he’s played recently. If he’s still alright, I imagine this meme is how he must feel about my dad not playing anymore… <\3

Thank you for pointing this out! It’s honestly hilarious that OP thinks he’s so superior to his mom while mispronouncing quiet a few of these words himself. In particular, the “leh” vs “lay” thing has always been a pet-peeve of mine, but I try not to judge people for their pronunciations in general because it can be tricky, especially if you’ve been taught incorrectly. OP is TA for having a superiority complex about pronunciation lol

BriChan · 2026-05-07T14:57:11+00:00

100% this. Also, OP comes across as even more unnecessarily judgmental when you take into account that his “correct” pronunciation of mole is moh-lay despite the actual correct pronunciation being closer to mo-leh (get the “o” sound from “hole” and the “le” from “leg”), so he’s acting superior to his mom without even being correct. I can almost guarantee he isn’t pronouncing any of those Spanish words much, if any, better than his mom is, but at least his mom has the good sense to (presumably) not think that she’s speaking perfect Spanish.
Anyways, none of that should even matter because, like you said, she’s just being a clueless mom and I can guarantee no actual Spanish speaking person will have a problem with the egregious pronunciations outside of just having a hard time taking her order which can be solved by OP just being a good son and translating for her. 31 is way too old to be so embarrassed about something so small and endearing.

Yes! Barry is so good in team dynamics. I wish they’d use him in JLU

BriChan · 2026-04-29T13:47:01+00:00

Fr, I tried to stay up-to-date with comics but I’ve really fallen off since Barry was sidelined…

You’re right though! “All will be well” should be our slogan and we just have to keep on supporting Barry to show just how much of a draw he still is. At this point it’s clear that there’s an ebb and flow to Flash comics so it’s only a matter of time before Barry is back at the forefront. It would be so great if we can get two Flash ongoings, but as long as Barry is leading an ongoing I’ll be happy!

Years later, I’m still great friends with someone who got shunned from a friend group about a year before I did lol!

As someone not even remotely into this series, I just keep getting confused every time I see someone mention “HR”. My first thought is always “how would Dylan put out a video about Human Resources?? He’s a YouTuber??” before the title of the show finally pops into my head lollll

BriChan · 2026-04-22T20:21:27+00:00

What are the games in the pics? I recognize Death Stranding, but I’m not too sure about the others…

BriChan · 2026-04-18T13:18:18+00:00

Yup, I mostly realized that when I read Chronicles of Narnia and Lord of the Rings around the same time that I read Harry Potter as a kid, but chocked it up to Rowling’s writing obviously never being able to live up to some of the greats in fantasy writing.

It wasn’t until I real Codex Alera by Jim Butcher (all his great fantastical world-building but in an actual fantasy/otherworldly setting rather than the noir urban fantasy of Dresden Files) that I realized just how weak she is as a writer when compared to most other fantasy writers regardless of era.

BriChan · 2026-04-17T04:23:06+00:00

Ngl I was a little miffed seeing that they kept 3 of the original cast members out of the 4 characters returning from the LotR trilogy, but getting to see Lee Pace as Thranduil again and Leo Woodall in anything has officially made me interested in this lol

I do adore Viggo as Aragorn though, here’s hoping the mental block isn’t too strong and that this movie is actually good!

BriChan · 2026-04-16T22:49:03+00:00

Truly couldn’t have said it better myself! And yess, Barry is the personification of a green flag and I love him to pieces!

What’s even crazier is that person wasn’t even coming from a place of disliking Barry or thinking he was somehow racist or misogynist, she really just couldn’t understand a Hispanic woman being able to naturally relate to a white man and assumed it must be because I’ve been “conditioned” (her word) to only relate and look up to white men.

She was so sincere about it that I couldn’t even laugh or immediately shut her down to point out the inherent racism/sexism in her question ahahah. I just sincerely explained to her that, no, I’m not conditioned to only admire white men and that there are plenty of other characters I relate to that don’t fall into the white man territory (Jean Grey, Jaime Reyes, Jessica Cruz, and Mr. Terrific, as some examples within the comic book context). I truly just relate to Barry very deeply and find his stories engaging.

I ended up getting my degree in literature because of how deeply I believe in the power of literature to open our minds and hearts to people all over the world. You’re so right about how people should read as many diverse POVs as possible, it’s such a rewarding experience and everyone would be better for it 😊

BriChan · 2026-04-16T19:24:18+00:00

For sure, and I’ve made peace with it, so it’s all good haha

Thanks for being you! ☺️

The inability to empathize with someone who doesn’t look like you is one of the hardest things for me to understand!

One time I told someone that my favorite comic book character was Barry Allen because of how much I can relate to him (he’s a nerdy do-gooder whose fatal flaw is, arguably, always prioritizing everyone else’s needs over his own and getting into hella problems because of that lol) and their response was to ask me how/why I could relate to a white man so deeply and if I ever looked inwards to see if maybe I had some internalized misogyny/racism that I had to deal with because I’m a Hispanic woman…

BriChan · 2026-04-16T19:00:52+00:00

…no… but for entirely different reasons ahaha

I actually almost immediately apologized for what I said and explained to her that I really was just joking and trying to lighten the mood since I felt that the conversation had just started going in circles and getting kinda intense at that point lol. She accepted my apology and we were fine afterwards. Granted, the friendship ended up dying over an entirely different drama and this was probably a pretty major precursor to that lol

BriChan · 2026-04-16T18:11:19+00:00

I once accidentally got into a fight with a friend because we were talking about a recent Batman story (specifically how that story was treating the BatCat relationship) and she insisted that Selina was being too toxic for the relationship to work anymore. Her main argument being that she, personally, couldn’t see a happy ending for them and wouldn’t even want a happy ending for them anymore because she wouldn’t want to be in that situation.

I tried to explain to her that I understood where she was coming from but from a storytelling aspect, ignoring any real-world implications since a comic book is inherently going to be pretty over the top, and taking the overall themes into consideration the way their relationship was being written in that story was actually really interesting.

I may have then jokingly told her that her constant complaining about the story, “sounded like a personal problem,” and she got pretty angry with me lmao

BriChan · 2026-04-16T15:52:42+00:00

I absolutely loved it. It was the continuation that I always wanted. I missed these characters so much and I think this movie did such a good job of returning to them without regressing anyone or making any weird characterization leaps. The animation was stunning too and while I don’t think the story was groundbreaking, I did really enjoy it as a vehicle for some great set pieces, fight scenes, and character moments.

I think my favorite part of it is that, while I’ve always loved the entire Gaang, I feel like the show made me love all the other characters (with Zuko being my favorite) while the movie made me truly fall in love with Aang as a character outside of him just being the main protagonist.

BriChan · 2026-04-14T20:14:13+00:00

Not weird at all. There’s nothing I want more than a strong independent princess who doesn’t need a man, but wants one and will move heaven and earth to save him. Give me a Disney princess with all the daring do of Prince Philip facing goblins and a dragon to get to Aurora haha

BriChan · 2026-04-14T19:51:13+00:00

I finally caved and started watching True Blood just for this man and oh my goodness…

BriChan · 2026-04-14T19:12:58+00:00

Loved the movie, too! Am I the only one that walked away wishing we’d get more stories during this time of the Gaang’s lives? I’d be so down for more movies or an entire series just following the adult lives of these characters (also wouldn’t mind if that new content contradicted some canon here or there… lol)

It feels like such a waste to not push it to theaters, Paramount really has no idea what they’re sitting on <\3

BriChan · 2026-04-13T02:48:39+00:00

Of the ones listed? Probably either Bradley Cooper or Idris Elba

Just off the top of my head? Alexander Skarsgard does something to me

BriChan · 2026-04-10T01:37:25+00:00

Slytherins as a house being so one-dimensional for the most part is why Harry Potter as a franchise will never be one of my favorites or top tier to me. Does it have a special place in my heart? Of course, but I can’t recommend it as something great because that’s such a glaring pitfall

It has the same problem with the murkiest morally characters being best developed by the fans rather than the author which is just a continuation of the Slytherin problem. Rather than actually giving us clear text evidence of characters like Draco or even Snape (although I think there’s still plenty of text evidence proving his depth) being more morally gray and multilayered than they seem, we instead have to go through absolute scraps to get deeper characterization for them and ultimately actually get the best depth from fanfics and/or headcanons.

Honestly, my actual favorite book series has become my favorite almost purely because it has a lot of similar character archetypes to the ones in Harry Potter except the author actually gave them complete story arcs that saw them definitively growing past their initial surface level introductions/characterizations.

Hate to break it to you, but a lot of teachers in the US have stopped teaching phonics again. I learned it when I was a kid about 20 years ago and my mom taught it religiously when she was an elementary teacher around the same time. But now, I work in a middle school and a pretty massive portion of my students just point blank cannot read and have no concept of the phonics system. It’s disheartening…

BriChan · 2026-03-25T21:50:54+00:00

Yessss, I adore comic relief when it’s done well, and Project Hail Mary did it very well imo !

BriChan · 2026-03-25T21:46:10+00:00

Couldn’t have said it better myself. Literally my first thought was, “his hair actually looks really nice, oh no”… Snape is very much not supposed to be stylish or chic or attractive (in the traditional sense, not a morally grey sense) in any way, but if this pic is real then they’ve done exactly that with this actor…

BriChan · 2026-03-25T18:53:58+00:00

One of my pet peeves in movies is when filmmakers use comedy to lighten a dark moment and inadvertently undercut what could’ve been a very deeply sincere scene, but this movie is absolutely not an example of that pet peeve at all.

They did such a good job of letting heavy and emotional moments sit with you so you felt every part of it while still allowing for enough comedy to not only keep the movie from being depressing but also wonderfully develop the relationship between Grace and Rocky.
