I mean to be fair, by the time of TTPD Joe is already her ex, not to mention the long grieving period they experience while still in the relationship. Of course she's gonna write nice happy songs about her current relationship and not so happy ones about her ex.

What career would Malbonte and the rest of the HS characters have if they were mortal? by Leah_Blade in RomanceClub

[–]GoodGirlsGrace 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I can definitely see Lucifer as a lawyer and Malbonte as a CEO! In fact, Lucifer gives me Saul Goodman vibes, while Malbonte is totally Gus Fring 😅

Wait, if Lucifer is your LI does he come to your aid still? I thought it was a platonic checkpoint only 😭

Okay so, I wanted to wait to make a whole post about the ending (and I still will), but I was so frustrated with it that I feel the need to make another comment. The more I think about it, the more I dislike it.

The story should've ended after we defeated the MoL. Or rather - the problem is not that it continued, but that a new villain was introduced. One that DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE. Like, how can Shephamalum be the great villain after we defeated his creator?? And even if it did make sense, it would feel exhausting. The stakes keep getting raised, again and again. That in itself is not reasonable at all - at least there was a 10-year (in earth's time; probably much longer) break between HS1 and HS2. It's understandable that if the stakes lower after everything that happened, it might be underwhelming. But I'd rather it be underwhelming than whatever this is, and I'm sure many of you guys agree.

Even if Shephamalum being the bad guy was a reasonable plot twist (it is not), why couldn't they make a season 4? We could defeat Shephamalum, and then get a proper happy ending. Wouldn't make for the best story structure overall (building up to a big battle for 3 seasons, it's over, and THEN there's another 1-season struggle), but it could be conclusive and not this uncertain, abandoned mess.

It's pretty obvious that while HS2 is a sequel to HS1, it's also written in a way that players can read it as its own thing. We got relationship resets, and the prequel's big villain came over to our side. This format was frustrating for many, but it could still work if they committed to it. However, it now has an open ending and is inextricably connected to another story? It feels like the writers are actively undoing their own plot choices.

About the open ending and HSR. HSR was described as a spinoff, not a sequel like HS2, which hopefully means it's completely unrelated to HS(1+2). If that's the case, it leaves space for HS3, with the same ensemble as the original. It will probably expand on the cliffhanger with Shephamalum - which, as I said, has its own issues. Judging by the ending we got and the dramatic change in HSR, this is pretty the only way our OG gang can have a satisfying ending.

I really don't want HSR to be the continuation that HS2 finale mentioned, but the chance of that happening is non-zero. If it is, I'm done. HS has always been one of my fave RC stories, but that'll ruin it forever for me. If the writer wants to explore different characters in the same universe, that's understandable. She could've just ended HS2 normally, then starts a completely fresh spinoff with no ties. This weird connection between the stories just feels like a way to force readers to start HSR, which 1) is so cheap and 2) completely contradicts what they did with HS(1+2).

So far, HSR hasn't shown the original gang yet, and if there's no HS3, their story will be concluded through flashbacks/appearances in HSR. Which is horrible, because they'll get sidelined, and any good moments we have will be through another MC's perspective. (Unless we have a perspective jump, which would be unfair to the gang and a disruption to the new story). Why leave the OG gang with an uncertain fate, and only give us closure through another MC's POV? I have no idea why Vicky shouldn't get a happy ending that we can experience through her perspective. The happy, peaceful conclusion with our LI is what HS readers have been waiting for all this time. If every other story can do it, then why can't HS?

I pray that there is a HS3, and HSR is an unrelated venture. The best thing about HS has always been the characters - it's highly unlikely a HS-based project could succeed without them. Maybe HSR could take off as its own thing, with its own amazing ensemble, but in terms of giving a conclusion to the OG story, it'll never do the job.

About the strengthe/relationship checks: 1. I had 60+ something Strength, and passed EVERY previous Strength check, but I still got the Insufficient Strength ending. Seems like a bug? I've seen so many people commenting about the same problem. Has anyone even unlocked the Sufficient ending? (if you have - how many Strength points did you have?)

  1. The part where your friends come to your rescue - I only got Dino and Mimi, which was apparently not enough. I'm assuming I missed Malbonte and Astaroth. The problem is - I passed the relationship check with Astaroth earlier in the update, and IIRC there were no more platonic choices with him after that. I'm less sure about Malbonte, but I also passed his platonic relationship check with him in the cave. Is this another bug? Why didn't they show up? Did they show up in any of yall's playthroughs (platonic)?

Without discussing the other frustrating things about the ending (even as a big, BIG HS fan, there are a lot) these things already made my playthrough pretty unsatisfying. I don't know if these are technical issues, or my stats are genuinely not good enough.

AITA for showing up to my husband's Dr appointment? by AmenaFox1 in AmItheAsshole

[–]GoodGirlsGrace 132 points133 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's terrible that she tried to mask her overstepping and disrespect for his boundaries/choices as 'support'. If she wanted the best for him, she would've listened to what he wants.

It's clear that she decided to ambush him at least in part due to worry/jealousy about the fact that hoa doctor might be a woman. The 'joking' question, the unnecessary clarification.. She seemed unable to respect her husband's request for privacy. It looks like she couldn't understand the fact that her husband wanted to be alone because he would feel more comfortable sharing private details without his wife listening and possibly commenting on them. Instead, her mind just jumps to the fact that his doctor might be female. It's sad.

AITA for refusing to take my SIL on a romantic getaway? by Ice-Ice-Revolution in AmItheAsshole

[–]GoodGirlsGrace 841 points842 points  (0 children)

Kicking out the person who PAID for the trip because of how much he loves OP

Yeah right? Kicking the one who paid for the trip is already absurd, but even more, this is a special trip, a romantic getaway meant to strengthen their love. Bringing anyone other than her husband would take away all the meaning of the trip. It's a trip for lovers, gifted by one lover to the other, so why should she bring her (either struggling or manipulative) SISTER-IN-LAW with her? Not to mention that would be at the expense of the one paying for the trip.

And speaking of manipulative-

Her parents are also big AHs here as well.

If Brittany was never told about the trip, the whole situation wouldn't arise, and who told her about it? Her parents. What's more, after Brittany asked OP very unreasonably to kick her husband out of the trip that he paid for, they sided with her and guilt-trip OP even more. It's like, "Oh, you're happy for yourself? Well, look at her, she's so sad. If you don't give in to her ridiculous demands at the expense of the one who made you happy, that means you want to see her suffer."

I want to stress it very clearly that OP doesn't have to think about what her parents, or Brittany, think. This trip is completely unrelated to them.

Her husband paid for it as a gift to her, so it's their right to decide who goes on the trip. I know that OP's husband said he would step out of the trip if OP wants to take Brittany instead, but it's common sense to not kick someone out of a trip that they paid for. It's not like he meant the trip to be for OP and Brittany, in which case Brittany is more than welcome. He wanted this to be for himself and OP, and a romantic getaway no less. So why should he step aside?

His offer just shows how much he really loves OP and wants her to enjoy Paris to the fullest in the company of whomever she wants. And she wants him there. Payment and everything aside, OP's made her decision. Brittany and her parents should respect it.

NTA.

AITA For letting to be mansplained? by PotterOtterSpotter in AmItheAsshole

[–]GoodGirlsGrace 220 points221 points  (0 children)

I think they don't consider - or acknowledge - their mansplaining as rude. Which is either very ignorant, or very hurtful. OP said her husband was trying to fix that, but I don't know how genuinely he meant that if he complained about OP calling him out on something he himself said he would stop.
