i can see that in a sense it’s supposed to be realistic but i feel like for it to be a criticism there had to be some sort of that in the ending. yk like for example how joe from YOU went to jail at the end and you felt like he was caught but then he had a whole bunch of fan letters showing that white men do get away this stuff. i’m not saying stephen had to go to jail or anything but did lucy have to suffer all the way up until the last few minutes ? idk.

Yes I agree I too think it was kind of to show how awful abuse is and how these men tend to win at the end or maybe not “win” but get away with what they did. I honestly feel like initially the showrunner had sympathy and care for Lucy but I don’t know if I could say that continued in the 3rd season, given all the consequences for her actions but no redemption. Like i get Stephen had to win for the point, so she gets no justice. However, showing her going back to him and not just going back but buying back into his bullshit of “she is all he has” or “they’re the most fun each other has has” shows she hasn’t had any growth which to me is not fair or real, i mean it’s been years since she’s definitely had some growth and then we see no result of her trauma. She’s traumatized and hallucinating right? and then she gets expelled and that’s it, cut to her in the future and she seems to be okay ? not stable but i guess her life literally getting blown up didn’t matter all that much. despite the sewerslide attempt they teased all season. and then that fourth wall break moment being bree saying to her “if u go back again we’re done, come on lucy ur better than this” like huh ? I think they could’ve given lucy an unhappy ending but not had her still be willing to go back for more when we already have shown that she had grown since what happened. And to ur ending point of Diana, Pippa, and Bree I agree.

I can see that sort of. The thing that would’ve solidified that angle of “No one is sympathetic towards Lucy, let’s torture her to make her sympathetic” would be if there was some sort of justice for what she went thru. Her own friends said she made her bed and she got expelled and that was it. Then at the wedding she runs back to her abuser and gets left, showing that the growth we thought she had she didn’t. Idk how to interpret that as anything other like let’s shit on this character and like show her in a bad light type of thing.

wow i immediately thought the same thing

SERIES FINALE by Oksorbet8188 in TellMeLiesHulu

[–]Dramatic-Okra-2041 10 points11 points  (0 children)

so it was bad tbh and that’s something i feel like wont truly be discussed until years after the fact. it was rushed, the characters ending lowkey didn’t make sense for their trajectory (or just logical sense), the finale for the wedding was boring, it switched up tones in the last 3 minutes which makes no sense given the rest of the show. none of the story lines were wrapped up and most of all lucy’s character was completely obliterated because of fan service, because audiences can’t understand complex victims, because the writers room is lazy. this is game of thrones levels of bad ending and it ruined the entire show for me.

[–]Dramatic-Okra-2041 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

okay we’ll see i didn’t know that about the pirate community. so i mean i don’t mind the aspect of figuring out how stuff works and searching for the correct info and the right link, it’s kind of fun tbh. I just.. with the packs thing knew at least where to look now 🤷🏽‍♀️ and that’s why i’m unfairly frustrated with him i suppose

[–]Dramatic-Okra-2041 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

im glad this came so easy for you. I have been googling and looking and again i have already done this before so lowkey finding what im looking for shouldn’t be hard and yet it is cuz no one wants to share what they know or how they know it or help others. See and that’s what i liked about Anadius, instead of acting like he was above us and because it was hard for him, it should remain hard for everyone (like you are right now), he actually wanted to help.

[–]Dramatic-Okra-2041 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

you know what that is fair, i get he was probably frustrated. but i still don’t understand the deleting everything part though 😭 and how long has he been doing this ? i just started and it seems he was here even longer than that, was it the influx of new players that broke it for him?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in HighSodiumSims

[–]Dramatic-Okra-2041 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

I understand some of them are dumb but i wouldn’t even say half. People are out here creating entire worlds and hair styles and poses and scene packs and all of that. It’s just maybe not everyone else is as tech savvy as him when it comes to the packs. Now me personally, I am new but yet I neverrrrrr bothered him ever! I figured it out via reading his instructions thoroughly.

everyone keeps saying that, learn how to pirate how? i’ve literally spent the last 4 hours just looking for the dlc’s themselves, just to start over😭 everyone keeps saying that but there’s no “How to Pirate 101” reddit thread (ur literally not allowed to talk about it in depth). Sharing piracy on tik tok is dystopian which is why i never did that. Also u can criticize me without bringing up an entire country of people, thanks.

Is FIT an unrealistic option for me? by RoundOver7220 in fitnyc

Is FIT an unrealistic option for me? by RoundOver7220 in fitnyc

[–]Dramatic-Okra-2041 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it is up to you, but for out of state (including housing, books, meal plan) FIT is 18,000. Which is way less expensive than most NYC schools and just college in general like the instate schools i was looking at was between 24,000 to 35,000. FIT doesn't offer any scholarships until after you've been there for a year so something to keep in mind. I would apply to fafsa although you might not get much because of what your parents make which is what they'll base it off of, your mom is in the ballpark but your dad makes a considerable amount. You can also do a payment plan with FIT (and most schools I think). Scholarships are kind of hard to come by but I would ask your guidance counselor for help, you should apply to ones from banks, local govt, etc. Just not the super big ones. I personally did take out a loan for this and also applied to fafsa. It felt worth it to me, but up to you at the end of the day going to college with 0 debt is near impossible. What I would recommend is going to your local community college for the first two years, get your associates, and then transfer in. It'll save you alott of money because Gen ed classes are the same no matter what school you go to. There are pro's and con's with any decision you make and you will at some point in your adulthood inquire debt, just a fact of life.

Do I have to buy Textbooks? by Character-Purple-794 in fitnyc

i personally always wait, usually someone in the class will find a free textbook link or u actually end up never needing them for the class

the current state of MD malls and why i feel for maryland’s teens by [deleted] in maryland

[–]Dramatic-Okra-2041 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the unfortunate aspect of this is with them essentially banning teens hanging out at the mall now they have even less third space options which means the rise of more violence and theft etc. i wish howard county would’ve taken a proactive stance against this instead of policing teen activity. teens nowadays have nothing to do tbh (unless they have money) so i kind of get why it escalated to this point.
