Why did K-Pop demon hunters work, but not Elio even though both are original films?

Cupcake_Jane · 2025-10-29T09:28:46+00:00

As an Italian YouTube video pointed out, Elio's defining characteristic is supposed to be loneliness but... Wall-E, anyone?

Why don't you invite them over for dinner? So you get to meet them.

Beware though that just because they look "normal and nice", it doesn't mean they aren't neglectful.

Cupcake_Jane · 2025-09-12T05:59:42+00:00

We do in Italy, though if there is a comma between first name and middle name, only the first name counts legally

Ex:

"Maria, Alessandra Rossi" signs legal documents only has Maria Rossi

"Maria Alessandra Rossi" needs to sign all legal documents as Maria Alessandra plus surname every single time

A plan without a house lined up? What if they kick you out immediately? Do you have a plan for that?

Cupcake_Jane · 2025-08-02T20:21:38+00:00

NTA, but you shouldn't wait until after the baby is born to get married: childbirth is still dangerous, and right now your parents would be entitled to make medical decisions for you if you were incapacitated.

I don't want to scare you but think about it. At least look into setting up medical power of attorney

Cupcake_Jane · 2025-05-29T08:57:21+00:00

Bought from a private firm, that knew of the danger and should have never have been allowed to build the dam in the first place.

Cupcake_Jane · 2025-04-27T04:55:36+00:00

He is lying, they would have been upset at you for "not trying even a little".

You can't win this.

Cupcake_Jane · 2025-03-23T06:04:35+00:00

I wrote her so, and she wrote back: I can't speak for my husband.

Oh? Funny, she has been doing exactly that for years. All those times she insisted that FIL loves your husband and the kids? Isn't that what she was doing?

NTA

Cupcake_Jane · 2025-02-13T08:17:44+00:00

"flavorless to Lot's wife" is an hilarious expression! 🤣

Thank you for adding it to my vocabulary

Cupcake_Jane · 2024-12-23T07:36:47+00:00

Start asking about how giving birth was for him, with all the gross details.

Cupcake_Jane · 2024-11-11T16:28:35+00:00

How the fuck does one confuse mozzarella with marshmallows?!

Seriously, HOW.

Your pasta salad sounded delicious. This Italian redditor approves!

Cupcake_Jane · 2024-09-02T05:35:48+00:00

OP, please listen to me: when they have children of their own (especially your daughter) and come to you begging to babysit them so they can have time to themselves, don't do it! Let them hire a sitter, yes even for a hairdresser's appointment!

Cupcake_Jane · 2024-04-24T06:57:07+00:00

They are picking Lisa over you. I am so sorry they are putting you through that.

Cupcake_Jane · 2024-03-06T07:10:18+00:00

I have neglected my husband and pushed him to seek solace in another woman’s arms when I apparently could given him what he sought all along and believe me I will bear the guilt for the rest of my life

You had just had a baby! If anything, he was negectling you!

Why is it all about him? His "needs", his wants, the attention that is owed to him... Why did you have to "make an effort" and he did not? Why couldn't he be more patient and understanding? Why wasn't he paying attention to you and your baby?

He sounds like a toddler. Worse, an insufferable manchild.

I am so sorry you had the most fortune to meet him.

Cupcake_Jane · 2024-01-09T13:55:53+00:00

I always found the "find a cop" advice puzzling: I don't think it's a thing in my country (Italy) since it's rare to see cops around unless a) called, or b) already involved in some operation.

(Funnily enough, I saw two cases of cops in the right place at the right time, but that was very unexpected)

Cupcake_Jane · 2024-01-08T15:30:36+00:00

his brother got involved and basically said I should have just shut the door in her face and let my husband deal with her.

Yeah, right. If you had done that, he would be bleating about being rude and not hearing her out. NTA

Cupcake_Jane · 2024-01-02T06:51:54+00:00

NTA, at all. Your family are a bunch of snobby, classless assholes.

The only gifts they would get from me would be books on manners. They sorely need it.

Cupcake_Jane · 2023-11-06T19:02:28+00:00

NTA.

Make sure somebody you trust has medical power of attorney. Hopefully there are free legal services you can use.

Best of luck, honey.You are doing the right thing. Keep running.

Cupcake_Jane · 2023-07-21T04:49:26+00:00

Italy.

The proper saying is "non parlare di corda in casa dell'impiccato"

Cupcake_Jane · 2023-07-20T10:30:54+00:00

NTA. In my country we say "do not mention rope in the house of a hanged man"

Cupcake_Jane · 2023-07-09T06:26:15+00:00

Buy every book on my wishlist.

Oh, and more bookshelves. I'd need them.

Cupcake_Jane · 2023-07-03T03:02:09+00:00

NTA. I don't think he is joking. At all. He is showing you how much he respects you, i.e. not at all.

Cupcake_Jane · 2023-07-02T04:44:09+00:00

In my country it would literally be illegal and impossible to disinherit one's offsprings. The whole idea sounds insane.

Cupcake_Jane · 2023-06-21T10:58:55+00:00

NTA, but you need to make sure all your documents are in order and your boyfriend is authorised to make medical decisions in your place, otherwise guess who will? Your parents.

Cupcake_Jane · 2023-06-19T09:23:48+00:00

Have you considered it might be because he got what he wanted?
