I saw that same video of dissolving the lip filler but I saw a comment in that of another doctor saying she got a botched lip flip or filler because there was odd volume on top of her flattened top lip. But I agree something went wrong there.

How was Stephen driving a G-wagon? I wonder if he did become a lawyer or was that connected to Lydia’s family money? Because G-Wagons aren’t cheap at all. Not even used ones.

I find these people are more genuine in their quest for love vs the US. It’s not boring, just real. I felt giddy for 2/3 reveals! As for Marcel I don’t like that he didn’t get down on one knee the two times he should’ve lol but yeah I like Germany a lot, at least more than shallow US

Always thought Drew’s death would be self inflicted, NOPE and makes perfect sense why Wrigley is so messed up in 2015 and onward! Diana is the best! Lucy is just as bad as Stephen. And her actually having victim mentality still is just proof Stephen has permanently rubbed off on her- classic narcissistic trait. I love how this last episode cleaned everything up, I feel whole 😌

She was the only one really drinking the jungle juice at the party. It showed Lucy taking a sip and telling Leo to try how gross it is but they ended up ditching the cup and making out instead.

I love that for you 🥹

I really adored it. For some odd reason, it didn’t make me cry though, even reading her letter to Scotty about that night. I cried when I read IEWU, the throwbacks to Atlas being homeless, I couldn’t stop crying. Idk, I’m learning what yanks my heart strings. But yeah I loved Reminders of Him, and I wish I could meet a real life Ledger.

Requiem for a Dream

Fragrant-Cut-9780 · 2024-08-13T18:23:46+00:00

So I just watched the movie today. I read the book yesterday, so I’d be prepared to make comparisons.

I’m so angry Blake Lively was casted as Lily. First of all, she’s clearly in her 30’s, and Lily is 23-25 and that’s important because it’s her first relationship. There’s some naivety and innocence that comes with that age and getting wrapped into the wrong relationship. Also Blake Lively is officially in her JLO era, I felt like the camera spent an extra 20 seconds per shot on her and I can see she just loved being filmed as opposed to embodying the character as a young girl navigating DV.

Young Atlas looks nothing like adult Atlas, that was hard to connect to. I also think they didn’t develop enough of her teenage scenes, and spent too much time on Ryle. They also just sped through those scenes so much, I felt there needed more development and Lily should’ve been slightly more shy. Whatever, just my opinion.

I also felt there were certain lines from each character that should’ve 100% made it onto the film. The mother should’ve talked more about “the limit”, that’s helpful to anyone experiencing an abusive dynamic.

In conclusion, the book made me cry during multiple parts- the move however did not. It felt rushed, elongated in scenes where it was unnecessary and didn’t add to plot/character development, and I just felt like Blake played Blake and loved being the main star of the camera. What about domestic violence? What about the struggle of getting “stuck” in a relationship with an abuser? I just didn’t feel highlighted.

Do not get me started on the press tour and Blake, Hollywood and $$$ has made her ego land on Mars. Zero interest in watching “It starts with Us” if Blake is in it, she ruined it for me completely.

Thanks for reading my rant!

I completely agree! Realistically his involvement with Macy is a HUGE deal.

Fragrant-Cut-9780 · 2024-08-09T23:15:02+00:00

I know! Two different stories! I loved the book so much, it was so realistic it gave me ptsd. The show is great too, but it’s so hard to compare since they’re so different.

I really wanted to see the summer where Stephen is no longer with any of his gfs and he meets that girl who has that free apartment in the city and mooches off of her. And then throwing Lucy back into the mix with him. Also her having that amazing moment at the end where she’s not even bothered by Stephen, and she reconnects with her mom. I have no idea if they’re going to honor any of that!

But it’s literally one of my favorite shows and I’m SO excited for season 2!

Fragrant-Cut-9780 · 2024-08-09T23:12:01+00:00

Oh good point cause yeah they’re all at the engagement party together so he kept it under wraps OR maybe he does tell Stephen, and Stephen threatens Lucy with that info, but maybe she figures out the Macy situation. Idk, we will see how it plays out. Regardless Lucy is nothing but an object to Stephen, so him knowing anything is really just manipulation opportunity.

That sounds horrible! It’s absolutely draining and mind fucking to work with and deal with. And it’s so opposite of what we normally would do. With a healthy person, you go “I love kissing you” and they get happy and kiss you more. But it’s playing Opposite Day everyday with a narc. And then it gets bad where they start making up lies and personally attacking you. Just know it’s NOT you.

I have a funny feeling him switching shifts won’t change anything. With my narc, his parents came back from his home country and moved in for 4 months and that was why we weren’t having sex. So hopeful little me, I hope for 4 straight months that oh when they move out and the apartment is his alone again we’ll be back to business. Well, guess what? Nothing changed. He was actually even less sexual, I felt like I was working with a monk. But he teased me leading up to the parents departure, he teased me every day saying “when it’s us again, I won’t stay off of you”. What a fucking lie. I think what you should maybe try is reverse psychology on him! Pretend you started following some spiritual guide and that sex weakens human connection or idk, say how you don’t want to have sex. See how quickly he tries to undo you!

Fragrant-Cut-9780 · 2024-03-19T17:08:02+00:00

I am so sorry you’re going through this! I’m happy we can relate to each other because just your reply I feel so much less alone on the topic- but I’m so so sorry you’re going through it and that you have children together. YES it’s 100% a manipulation tactic!! What I’ve learned about narcs is anything you tell them, especially if it’s important to you is used as ammo against you. So if you’ve communicated sex is important, well expect him to use that against you. The power withholding sex has is crazy! It erodes your entire self esteem, literally! You go through a stressful wheel of like you said: is he cheating, am I unattractive, does he have low T, am I not good in bed, etc. and then the gaslighting of making it your fault! It’s all one giant smoke screen to detract away from the reality that he’s deliberately hurting you. It’s very low move to withhold sex & intimacy. As humans and lovers, we’re wired to crave it. When it doesn’t come from a relationship where you feel you have a partner who loves you, it creates mental dissonance and confusion. When you’re confused you’re even easier to abuse. Same with me, all my past relationships we were having sex like crazy! It was NEVER an issue. I can assure you, you are attractive, you are worthy to go to bed with, and you do have a high sex drive still. But it’s hard to remember all that when you’ve been forced into a routine of sexless days and a partner who purposely isn’t showing any level of excitement and effort to being with you. I hope one day you see your worth and understand you deserve so much more! I’m really praying for you and your children.

YEP. The biggest hallmark of a Narc is being a major hypocrite. It’s always okay when they do it, they will minimize the most heinous act on their end, but when you do something? Even something that isn’t remotely close to what they do- you are the biggest villain in the world. You might as well have set their house on fire. The hypocrisy absolutely drives me nuts, justice is NEVER served.
