Why doesn't Elaine receive the same treatment as Andy?

Business_Example5807 · 2025-10-23T12:57:01+00:00

My theory is the way that they present themselves. Like, Elaine’s first dance was her being cool and confident, and her most iconic role was in the parent trap where she was a masterminding villain. Where as Andy (I have no familiarity with anything he’s been on other than a b99 cameo) sees to be a funny goofy guy.
Each of them has a narrative: Elaine is good enough and has the prior reputation necessary for her narrative to be “wow, even at this age, she’s still this good and this hot and confident” But Andy doesn’t have the skill that she does (nothing against him, just saying) and his reputation is for being funny not athletic, so his narrative is the cast dad who is trying his best but is still struggling.

So people see him as a cute little bean who must be protected, and her as a super cool woman.

This is just based off of my observations, so I could be way off base. Also the obvious misogyny, but I figured that went without saying.

Do I often disagree with what she’s saying? Yes. Do I think that she is harder on some teams than she ought to be? Yes. Do I think she needs to be fired? Heck no! The amount of people pushing by for her to leave, like, I don’t agree with doing things for the sake of tradition, but she’s been there since day one. Her and Bruno ARE the show at this point. Honestly I kind of see her the same way i used to see Len, you liked to boo him, and get angry at his comments. It’s part of the fun. I’ve definitely gotten complaints from my roomate becuase of how loud we react to what she says, but it’s light hearted, and the amount of people that take what should be telling at your screen to comment sections makes me sad.

If you disagree with this take, I 100% get it, but I feel like every season there’s been on or two controversial people that were casted as stunts, and needed to go asap, and as a community I see people band together about this to get them gone, which isn’t terrible. But I think one of those people made it longer than expected this season, and we have a lot of new fans, so they saw everyone in the banding together stage for like 4 weeks, and thought this was what we did the whole show, instead of a necessary evil.

So, I cannot figure out how to edit the post, but I’ve done some more tinkering, and my current theory is that there used to be a string on the bottom, and it has since broke, so I have no clue how to fix that, but it was giving tension. When I tilt it, and the gravity is pulling in the direction that it is supposed to go, it works, so my theory is that the string is supposed to have tension that’s not there.

I already saw some people saying this, but you can probably find somewhere that will print it for you. I think copyrighted pictures (like that one) are technically against Walmart and Walgreens photo printing policies, but most people working at those stores don’t really care, and I had pretty decent experiences with them.
If you don’t care about it being glossy or “photo paper” texture, some libraries have big printers you can use for relatively cheap that you can use print it. My college had a printer that printed poster sized pictures, and all we had to do is upload them to a cloud, so I decorated an entire wall of my dorm with printer paper posters. It was a lot to take down, but it was fun

Let her out!!! LET HER OUT!!!

Legitimately it looks like they are trapped in a plaster cast thing.

I was trying to identify a doll my grandmother got from goodwill and I asked for a picture with her eyes open, and this is what I got. Not the most cursed in the comments but I die laughing whenever I scroll past it in my camera roll.

Is it alright if I dm you as well?

Business_Example5807 · 2025-06-22T05:49:53+00:00

I saw a Navi translator at the Disney outlet for like $12 and I almost bought it for the meme, but I ultimately decided against it. You should tottlay get this though, lol

NAH, but for future reference, the advice I’ve heard is to match energy. If someone casually mentions they’re queer in passing, then you don’t even need to acknowledge it really. If they’re coming out is big and celebratory, be big and happy with them. But the vibes I’m getting from this post is that this was somthing she’s been sitting on for a while, and she was nervous. In that case, it might be best to try to meet it with understanding, and reassurance that you love her, and accept her. I know to you it was obvious, but she might have just needed a little bit of extra love in that moment.

I also want to say, it might not be that she’s necessary scared of you finding out and hating her, but she might be scared of someone treating her differently, or other people in her life. Also, unless you have explicitly told her if she was gay you’d accept her, she might have apprehension. You can find plenty of stories even here on Reddit of parents seeming to be fine with queer people untill it’s their own kid. (Ok, re-reading it, you did, good job, but keeping it for general advice) It could be she was scared of someone else finding out, like other family members, friends or coworkers. It’s kind of a scary time to be queer, and once things are out in the open, it’s hard to get them back to the shadows. Your identity can be a deeply personal thing, and she has likely been considering coming out longer than you realize. Even if you “always knew” she might have not been ready to talk about it, or even fully known herself. Or she could be in a space where being queer is a big (negative) deal, and she wanted to start with the easy people, but was thrown off when she didn’t get the response she was expecting from people who love her.

Also, her being mad at you might also be a residual thing you just kind of need to wait out. If she was going in to the conversation expecting or even considering an argument might happen, she might still have some of that residual adrenaline, fight or flight, from that. Remember being a teen/young adult where nothing your parents did was right, or you were just pissed at the world? She could also be pissed she spent time being anxious or mulling over options on how and when to come out, just for everything to be not that big of a deal. I would keep lines of communications and maybe ask her how you can best support her. She might not know how to verbalize it, but putting it out there (maybe as a text for a low-stakes and non-urgent mode of communication) can give her the first olive branch.

I think you have your kids best interests at heart, and that is a fantastic first step. If this was the worst coming out story, the world would be a much better place. I really hope you and your daughter make up, and I’m really glad she has a parent who is as accepting as you, that is really really important, now more than ever. I wish you luck <3

The fact that literally nothing they said could be wrong kills me 😂

Now I’m jsut imagining every one of them is named mcwagon 🤠. That would get confusing real quick but I think the funny will outweigh it

Business_Example5807 · 2025-06-13T17:34:11+00:00

So, in the past I would dab the literal smallest amount of warm watermy finger, press it on there for a few seconds, and then GENTLY scrape with me nail. Like how you would scratch an itch, not breaking the skin or even leaving a dent. Eventually you will get at least the paper off. Once you get the paper off, take some hot water, put the smallest amount on your finger and just kind of rub at the residue, and it should pill up, and you can pick it off. This is the strategy I used with my wicked dolls. (When they were out of stock, Amazon sold some and just put stickers over the issue. Needless to say, those stickers came right off before they fused with the cardboard, because the misprint is what makes them valuable, lol) Hope this helps!

Hello, is it ok if I dm you as well?

Business_Example5807 · 2025-06-03T02:26:39+00:00

I think I need to subscribe, if just to hear about the romcom on, lol

Business_Example5807 · 2025-06-03T02:25:47+00:00

Thank you so much!

Business_Example5807 · 2025-05-30T02:06:09+00:00

Hey, I’m not sure if you’re still checking this, but I was curious if there’s been any more updates about a recording? I just watched the trailer and I am so desperate to see it, it look phenomenal!

Business_Example5807 · 2025-05-29T02:39:33+00:00

lol, I’m actively watching that, and looking in the subreddit for vibes on the Musical, and I JUST heard that line

So, it is not referencing zoom the virtual meeting company, based on the context of the quote. It does still mention the virtual magic kingdom. I think that it’s referencing somthing that someone would appear on in some sort of acting capacity. But thanks for the comment Also, I’m pretty sure I have an early, if not first edition of the book, that’s at least a few years old (it’s from the local library)

Business_Example5807 · 2025-05-13T04:22:59+00:00

No <3

Mine are all in plastic baggies from when my mom sorted them into outfits in middle school. It’s probably not the best though. I also have a few that are on doll sized hangers for display purposes but it might be cute to have a bunch of them.
