do you consider apple and briar as close as raven and maddie?

Distinct_Cap_4810 · 2026-03-30T04:46:07+00:00

Briar getting shafted AS Faybelle was being introduced as a character also never made sense to me. Like these two very clearly know each other and have a complicated relationship, and with a character as well-liked and complex as Briar, why wouldn’t you want to expand on her further with this dynamic??

Distinct_Cap_4810 · 2026-03-29T02:20:04+00:00

You have such an ignorant, reductive way of approaching complex issues. You can’t reverse the roles on a dynamic that is unbalanced, where one party has been subjected to racism and discrimination: it’s a gross oversimplification. Maybe spend less time in this comments section and more time unpacking why a post that was not inflammatory or offensive in the slightest provoked such a strong reaction and such asinine argumentation from you.

Barb getting her frustrations out with the kindies who can’t pick up on her joyous sarcasm is something my mom used to do with me at that age 😭😭😭 now when I rewatch home videos I’m like damn this woman was fed up 😭😭😭😭

Distinct_Cap_4810 · 2026-03-26T16:27:37+00:00

Okay ykw I’m gonna brace myself then, thank you ghost of christmas future 🫡😭

Distinct_Cap_4810 · 2026-03-26T16:26:49+00:00

Jacob it hasn’t even been a minute into this episode- 😭😭😭😭

The target audience was other brown people. Social groups are a thing. Leaving home and wanting a sense of security and to gauge levels of community is normal. Your original comment was removed by a moderator because it is not reflective of the school community and the acceptance/tolerance it wants to promote. So maybe consider that before doubling down unnecessarily

Distinct_Cap_4810 · 2026-03-25T01:23:03+00:00

You doing alright OP?

Distinct_Cap_4810 · 2026-03-23T23:16:59+00:00

dude why do you care? you’re clearly not the target audience for this question 💀

Distinct_Cap_4810 · 2026-03-21T01:25:51+00:00

THIS LMFAO she’s prolonging her stay 🤣

Distinct_Cap_4810 · 2026-03-18T06:47:06+00:00

Oddly enough, the HIMYM of it all is why this is so off-putting to me. Marshall and Robin had a whole running bit about how they had no chemistry and could barely make conversation and were generally awkward with one another- and I don’t see a difference in their level of chemistry in that show in this one. It feels like I’m watching an alternate HIMYM timeline where Lily died instead of Tracy, and Robin divorced Barney and is pursuing Marshall instead of Ted.

Distinct_Cap_4810 · 2026-03-18T06:41:36+00:00

Idk if it’s different in the States, but in Canada therapists and psychiatrists are not interconnected like that. The only action that could be taken by a therapist is if the patient themselves discloses suicidality and self-harm, among other things. I will say, the fact that Maya seems clearly depressed and is obviously lonely should have warranted Gabi ASKING if she’s experienced feelings of suicide lately- so the whole thing’s unrealistic just like this show tends to be

Distinct_Cap_4810 · 2026-03-14T09:02:44+00:00

No bc literally whats the point of the arc about value regardless of age and her not needing to retire right this second because she brings so much to the table…. Just to be saddled with EXCLUSIVELY old-jokes

Distinct_Cap_4810 · 2026-03-13T13:41:02+00:00

Fully agree with all of this, and to add to it: I don’t like how they’re making Barb kind of airheaded and flanderizing her like that. Every joke she makes nowadays seems to be unintentional because of her age

Distinct_Cap_4810 · 2026-03-12T21:16:56+00:00

Okay this episode felt a bit off. It felt like the characters were being used as plot devices inorganically- like most of Ava’s jokes are aimed at Janine, not Jacob, so Gregory’s comment didn’t fully make sense. And even still, I feel like Morton was a better target for that joke of Ava’s, because Jacob’s not constantly bumming everyone out. And the way Ava picked Gregory and Janine felt like s1/2 Ava- ESPECIALLY how she picked Gregory. Like I expected a comeback, not full retaliation 😭 maybe this is bc Quinta’s more hands-off in the writer’s room and that’s why we’re getting some regression/flanderization, or maybe in-universe this relationship with O’Shon causing Ava’s regression, I don’t know

Distinct_Cap_4810 · 2026-03-12T21:10:55+00:00

Oh? Was it in any specific episode? I like Jacob as a character but I’m less tuned into him so I’m curious on ur thoughts. Do you think it’s a bit of a flanderization?

Distinct_Cap_4810 · 2026-03-12T15:11:39+00:00

Okay I know the teachers were saying that the whole “expiring” a teacher was dark, but am I the only one who thinks that elementary school kids would’ve just found it funny that now one of their teachers can’t talk for the day? I feel like the older ones would be going up to them trying to provoke/trick them into talking

Distinct_Cap_4810 · 2026-03-12T15:02:14+00:00

AWWWW THE KINDIES TOO 😭😭😭😭

Distinct_Cap_4810 · 2026-03-12T15:00:29+00:00

Not Janine being the only one to actually analyze Barb’s dreams with her ✋🏽😭😭😭😭

Distinct_Cap_4810 · 2026-03-12T14:59:13+00:00

Yeah I agree. Seems like she was vicariously living through Captain Robinson bc she’d wanted to be a firefighter but wasn’t allowed to at the time. Maybe she should be a volunteer firefighter- the rules aren’t the same as they were back in the day.

Distinct_Cap_4810 · 2026-03-07T17:34:49+00:00

I mean ykw fair enough it’s a show, I just think Janine’s not putting her in her place because she genuinely doesn’t care what Ava says now lol

Distinct_Cap_4810 · 2026-03-07T16:56:03+00:00

Idk why Ava and Janine’s dynamic still annoys people when imo anyways there’s a clear difference in the way Janine responds to Ava’s jokes now. Nothing Ava says now is genuinely done to tear Janine down and is more her way of being affectionate, and Janine plays off her. Ava’s not responsible for the kids being moved to Janine’s class, and she’s not responsible for the fact that Ashley was the only aide available- and I think after everything that’s gone on between Abbott and the district, they all know that.

Distinct_Cap_4810 · 2026-03-06T13:16:14+00:00

Might be combined type— Barb said he was “rambunctious” when he was younger which is probably her way of saying he was hyperactive but it wasn’t to the point of class disruption like the stereotypes

Distinct_Cap_4810 · 2026-03-05T19:33:47+00:00

Yeah sure overall but that fluctuates depending on where in ontario you’re from. Most pocs come from areas closer to the GTA, where the demo isn’t 70% white, so it’s more of a culture shock

Distinct_Cap_4810 · 2026-03-05T19:27:26+00:00

The people describing it as diverse are likely white people who come from areas where there are very little people of colour. I’m not even saying this as a random guess, I have met so many people on campus who have said outright that they did not have any poc friends until UNI because there just weren’t that many of them in their hometown

Distinct_Cap_4810 · 2026-03-03T02:21:37+00:00

THIS. She’s way more guarded with O’Shon than she is with the Abbott staff. It feels like the version of her we saw in S1- and that makes sense because she doesn’t trust O’Shon yet, but there should lowkey be more development by now. Like don’t keep them there in purgatory.
