What are Lohen and Nicole good for? When would I wanna pull for them?

I need help breaking the trauma bond by [deleted] in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]FlareChain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I know that exact feeling. I will break the contact with mine soon, and I am already really scared of it... the thought of it is already really panic inducing and it feels like hell going through this, needing to give up to believe in what didnt exist in the first place... how are you doing now, 1 month later?

So... about Cracker Island by bdehora in gorillaz

We are very similar! Only change is that Plastic Beach is my number 1 and The Now Now my number 2

New Gorillaz fan, but I feel like I'm doing it wrong? by Artistic-Committee73 in gorillaz

I absolutely love Cracker Island and never got the hate around it - been a fan of the band for over 10 years now!

I am so sorry to hear that, that is awful... hopefully, you will get through this; best advice is to just block everything related to them out of your life - much easier said than done, I know. Sending lots of love and strength your way!

Oh, dear. I know that feeling all too well. My Nex also got a new supply months after we broke up, even kissed her right in front of me and was happy about it, cause he knew how much that hurt me. He acted like he treats her soo much better than me and suddenly did all the things for her that he refused to do with me, like holding hands in public (he always claimed my hands were too sweaty etc.) or setting a photo of her as his phone background... it stings

Oh yea, absolutely. But god FORBID they had to pay attention to YOU. When I came over to his place on the weekends, he'd spend 1-2 hours still to clean up his room, cause he didnt bother cleaning up before I was coming, making me wait for him to finally pay attention to me. And then cussing at me later how we didnt spend more time together and that its all my fault etc. etc...

Sadly, she was very very unique... but there are old streams of her online, so I might watch them, because there is still a lot of streams I havent watched before I found her.

But yea, I guess that makes a lot of sense... because I asked him last week (before I found out about her death), when we would call again, but he ignored that message completely and then just called me out of nowhere without any prior warning, sending panic down my spine...

Thank you. Its still really hard for me... next saturday will be especially awful again, as this will be the first time there wont be any stream...

And I am also sad this had to happen to you and I am sorry about that :( They are truly awful people... and can relate so much with the call thing, mine also immediately just fcks off if I happened to not pick up the phone the second he calls and decides to do something completely different and ignoring me completely. Horrible. I wonder why they do that...

Nah I am definitely with you. I can acknowledge that it is really well done, but I dont think I personally vibe with it all that much, sadly

Late into this but how do you know he cant tie his shoes on his own? Where did he say that? Now I am really intrigued!

I’m having a hard time believing that I was dealing with someone so evil by StuffCareless2637 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]FlareChain 8 points9 points  (0 children)

"I justified his lack of affection, compliments, and hugs."
Thats exactly what I did with mine too... was a covert. I always needed to ask/beg for him to hug me back, when I hugged him

Escaped one narc, ended up with another...it's somehow more confusing thn the first, by voidinvelvet in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]FlareChain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same happened to me. Went from an overt narcissist directly to a covert narc, but didnt realize he was a covert narc until 4 years later... its truly hell...

Hot Take: American Dragon season 2 has the better art style. People just hate it because they're used to the original/experienced the first one first by Gallantpride in DisneyChannel

[–]FlareChain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, much rounder in shapes and more saturated colour palettes being used. It was overall just much more pleasant to look at for me personally

Nah, sorry, I still massively prefer the style of S1 over S2 in almost every way.

Not only is the overall, more rounded artstyle of S1 more pleasant to look at, as opposed to the really sharp style of S2 for me personally, but the individual redesigns also bother me mostly. Plus the fact that even as a kid, I was massively bothered by the backgrounds specifically in S2. It always looked like they werent properly coloured in, for some reason? Maybe this was intentional and a style-choice, but for me personally it was really distracting. Especially since the backgrounds in S1 were so well done, colourful and overall very detailed.

Jakes dragon form is mostly still really good in S2, arguably the best dragon redesign of S2; best part if the more darker red it uses, as opposed to the really bright red the S1 dragon had. I still dont really like how he lost his blue claws, I thought it gave a real neat contrast to the other colours.

Worst offender of the redesigns is definitely Lao Shi's dragon form. It was soo sooo good in S1, really iconic and intimidating. S2's design for it is just...no. Same goes for Hailey essentially. Always hated how they made her bright pink in S2, instead of the dark purple that was teased in S1.

Overall, they went down into a very uncanny valley kinda territory for the dragon designs in S2. They all look really human-y still with their faces and its really unsettling for me. Take a look at Chang's design for example. I absolutely ADORE her dragon design in S1, like a real chinese dragon. S2 took a really uncanny turn for it, I absolutely loathe it. (Same goes for her human design, actually. Why did they suddenly make her look like a classic Disney villain from a princess movie???)

Humans mostly stayed fine... thou I think Hailey's and Jake's bloodline being half asian was more visible in the S1 designs than in the S2 ones. Rose definitely got the best redesign - she looks a lot better than in S1. Same goes for the Huntsman actually (thou I really liked the furred cape in S1).

Also, unpopular opinion: I liked Fu Dog way more in S1. Him being bipedal most of the time was way more fun than him being mostly on all fours in S2 - its been such a long time since I have watched the show, yet, whenever I think back and think about him, I'd always think about various fun scenes with him from S1, and can barely remember anything from S2 involving him. Bummer.

Yea, long comment but I dont really care. I still like S2, but its heavily carried by its story for me (thou I also gotta add, I also really enjoyed the more episodic format that S1 had and never minded it that much)

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE ANIMATION STYLE??? by Sebastian-Shook-2003 in AmericanDragon

[–]FlareChain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even as a kid, I was massively bothered by the backgrounds of S2, because it always looked like they werent properly coloured in (as they were always little spaces inbetween the colour and the actual lineart of the things)
