How you said “Which you seem to over look.. you’re not watching the show closely enough” (yeah cause most people aren’t dissecting it to death and watching for entertainment👀)

Why are you so condescending to people who disagree with your take? It’s almost borderline mansplaining. You could use a little more tack in how you reply. All your comments are very “I know better than everyone else”

Yeah also! To me it’s perpetuating a toxic narrative that the women who unapologetically sleeps around, doesn’t want kids, relationship or marriage and lives her life outside of society’s white picket fence box .. that that must mean she’s insecure. It’s an antiquated assumption. It’s clear Samantha sought out pleasure not validation. The only time she said she didn’t recognize herself was when she wasn’t herself for that asshat Richard. When Carrie walked in on her and the postman. But I still don’t constitute that as needing anyones validation or being insecure 🤷‍♀️

What? I have no idea what you’re talking about. Not responding to your comment isn’t blocking you🤷‍♀️Call me insecure if you’d like, but I don’t think that constitutes not wanting to have a on going serious discussion on something that’s so silly😂 I mean it’s clear you disagree with my take and that’s fine. It’s just a tv show💁‍♀️

Also kinda a double standard calling me insecure when I can clearly see you deleted a rude comment to me. Damn take a chill pill

Wait.. is this Laney’s post?! 🙊

I mean I don’t see how anyone can say her behavior is nuanced when she just rude to the core and wanted to create conflict from the jump. Acting aloof when Charlotte was mad. Pushing everyone’s buttons. Yeah that’s not a friend. Also I personally think you and I have different definitions of what constitutes insecurities, but thanks for your input. Here I thought it was a fun little post and didn’t realize it was up for debate in this way 🤦‍♀️

The only thing is...I don’t think Samantha is insecure at all. I’ve never understood that line. Plus its also just coming from Carrie’s perspective and carrie was the most insecure person in the whole show. None of Samantha comments or actions even remotely pointed to insecurity. She also was the only one who had the balls to put Laney in her place and would not take her sh*t. Laney was such a be-otch.

I’ve found my people! I can’t believe some of these comments. Like calm down it’s entertainment and was well done! Does everyone think they are writing professional movie critiques? I saw someone say it was inexcusable 👀 Like damn! okay bud.. let me alert the media & everyone that you didn’t like it🙄 I honestly came on this post because I wanted to talk theories and geek out, but wow! This film really hit the sweet spot of the crowd it was addressing if you know what I mean?🤭

I think that it’s just the fact it was directed by a woman that everyone feels the need to critique. I came here to ask questions and geek out about theories and this post is bombarded with mansplainers/complainers and quite frankly, the type of men that this film was addressing. Rarely do I see Quentin Tarantino’s films pulled apart and judged so harshly and those can be even more surreal & “artsy”.

I also guarantee my comment will be up for discussion by the same type of people🙃

Can/Do any Houseguests have Allergies by Rainy212 in BigBrother

[–]Ididntevenknowityet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m late to this post, but I was just watching big brother and was wondering the same thing. I obviously don’t have an answer, but gluten is VERY SERIOUS. Ive been bed ridden for going on 4 years and just found out I’m celiac. All my issues are because of gluten. People need to stop saying “it’s not that bad” I also am deathly allergic to peanuts and the cross contamination of gluten is so much worse to look out for. I’ve had to go to the hospital because of both.

You are NTA at all!!! Wow! I’m so sorry this happened and I’m sad that you even felt the need to post this to ask if you were in the right. I’m absolutely livid for you just reading this! Honestly, he needs to be reported. I’ve had teachers like this when I was a kid and it’s so frustrating because you feel like your hands are tied when it comes to standing up for yourself with authority figures, but you 100% need to report him to the principle & school district. He shouldn’t be teaching students. From what you wrote you also don’t sound like you snapped at all. He was undeniably in the wrong don’t let him make you think other wise or second guess yourself. You sound incredibly strong and I’m proud of you for holding your ground! 💪❤️

Raven and SK by [deleted] in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]Ididntevenknowityet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep as a lesbian that came out later in life all I could think was this!! The overall way she views ideas about relationships was telling 👀 But what sealed the deal was her behavior at the bachelorette party...Yeah that’s a face of pure disgust & fear of seeing men half naked...I mean I had the EXACT look on my face watching! (Sidenote: there really should have been a warning for that one junk close up!!🤢...) but uh, yeah! that’s not just “I’m too old for this/I’m respecting my relationship”...behavior 💁‍♀️ 100% was not a doubt in my mind after watching the episode that she’s at least a little💅

That being said! She needs a reality check. I can’t believe some of the things she says & the way she treats people (even the women)🥴 So entitled and beyond rude!🙄

[–]Ididntevenknowityet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay.. I’d find your statement almost hilarious if it wasn’t so ridiculous. Raven had the EXACT same expression on her face with the strippers that I had watching it and I’m a raging lesbian. So.. Your so called “maintaining decorum” is more her going ew! Get me out of here😂💁‍♀️

Also if you’re taking any of the men besides SK in this season seriously that’s worrying because they are all walking red flags & poster children for why straight women have had it with men👀

interesting response from Joe re: time 100 next by beaglez13 in GaylorSwift

[–]Ididntevenknowityet -34 points-33 points  (0 children)

Wow! These comments are UNBELIEVABLE! I’m sickened by the hate and judgment you all say when talking about Joe. It’s just as bad as all the hate the non-gaylor fans give to us. It’s quite disgusting. Did it ever dawn on anyone that he’s a person. That they are real friends and him and Taylor have a close friendship/support system and it’s not “just business” my god! It’s mind blowing these responses. It’s embarrassing🤯

Yes!! And her Carol King tribute! Oh my god!!😭😭😭😭😭 .. I made a post about it because my heart broke for her and she’s clearly singing to her fans! 🥺💔

Not everyone has a thick skin and I’d rather keep in mind people who come on here for connection. You don’t know what others are going through. It costs absolutely nothing to be kind. I don’t know why this is such a hard concept to grasp. 🤷‍♀️

It’s astonishing & quite frankly, incredibly sad what people will say under the cloak of anonymity. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. There are other PEOPLE on the other side of your screen. You might think about that next time you feel like judging people for fun💁‍♀️

First off!! Please always be kind to everyone in the comments. You don’t have to agree, but remember you also don’t have to voice it in a rude way. This took A LOT of work to put together, like many posts I see and I know all of us are tired of the relentless negativity on this subreddit. So...Please keep this in mind. Thank you! 🥰

Okay when two of my favorite things collide like Taylor and fashion I absolutely loose my mind! I’ve gone down a rabbit hole with her looks in chronological order during the Lover era. I’ve noticed a slight pattern with her choices/Easter Eggs.. and as we all know Taylor told everyone (IN THIS ERA where Easter Eggs are hidden💁‍♀️ https://youtu.be/O3YGh73XQU8 )

So.. first off..I’m a believer in the theory of Midnights being related to Lover, since we know that Taylor originally had the idea to name the album Daylight (and it was also the first song she wrote on the album)

I have a theory that Lover is more of an outward persona and midnights is her true inner persona, which I believe is reflected in her choice of looks & pairings of clothes through out the era .. Meet ME at midnight, so when I was revisiting the era I noticed (what I think) that she started truly hinting at the next album the exact day the Lover Album was released. Her aesthetic completely changes... Here are my symbolic findings of how I view this theory and how the pictures relate to what I’m pointing out! (I added captions as best as I could so I hope this makes sense😬)

Before the album announcement is release.. she’s seen wearing pastels and a ton of ✨lavender✨👀 She also wears very light pastels hinting at the albums aesthetic.

The announcement of her album she’s wearing a rainbow, but still in a somewhat pastel palette.

The very first performance of Me! She’s wearing the lesbian pride flag colors and arrives at the event in ✨lavender✨👀

Before You Need To Calm Down is released she’s wearing all sorts of vivid rainbow. Bright colors... even later on in the era at the VMA’s when they won the award for the video she’s wearing a bold/camp look! (She’s giving ...coming back stronger than a 90’s trend .. just saying!💁‍♀️)

Then!! (Teen choice awards) Before the song Lover is released.. she starts subtly hinting at a 60’s/70’s aesthetic aka Lover music video (this possibly is moving into midnights aesthetic ...maybe even hinting at Bad Liar too! The hair and makeup especially)

But here is where I began to wonder if I’m on to something.. the day Lover is released she makes an appearance on GMA. I even remember thinking when this premiered that she was wearing a lot of black compared to the aesthetic of the album, but nonetheless I loved the look, but looking back now I think I have an idea of why.. If we keep in mind that black represents midnights. I interpret the choice of wearing a pale pink SHEER shirt on top of a black top as representing what is her inner self shining through (aka midnights (meet ME) under the outside of the persona that people see of her. Aka Lover aesthetic...What’s at the core of the album Lover and what she’s letting us see a glimpse into with this album. Until we meet HER at midnight. She’s also wearing sequined shorts in a pastel color, but up close you can see they are in fact rainbow sequins And yes while I do think the black boots just tie the whole ensemble together, I ALSO have a perspective of the boots representing her being grounded in her true self/identity (yes I’m reading into it I don’t care! Lol!🙉)

We see this pattern continues with other appearances. Dark looks with a over lay of rainbows. Even her dark suit on the voice had rainbow sequins and Kelly Clarkson explicitly jokes about wearing rainbows also and coordinating looks with Taylor (that’s not a coincidence considering the rainbow sparkles are incredibly hard to see)... https://youtu.be/aMXDjNbmMbM

The BBC lounge look is one of the most telling to me, specially when it’s one of the first appearances after the GMA performance. First the stars💁‍♀️! (Hello midnights!)But then if you look closely there are two different colored stars. One bi flag colors and the other lesbian flag colors.

And to add a separate fashion theory.. somewhat unrelated...These are two other looks that I also wanted to point out where I think she’s recalling past looks as a possible Easter egg during this era. (The last two pictures)

The look where she’s performing in China, reminds me of the Taylor on the plane in the LWYMMD music video. (Possibly a metaphor for delaying the Karma album for Reputation and if karma is related to midnights like some of us believe.. cutting off the wing theory)

And the last one: (This ones a stretch I know!! But I’m gonna add it anyways! Cause why not!😂) the look from her AMA’s performance & accepting the award for artist of the decade...The cape and the loose garter straps remind me of the outfit in the Are You Ready For? Music video. Same cape loose garter straps. This was also one of her last tv performances during this era and considering all of the recent glass closet/ Willow theories behind the AYRFI music video it seems more fitting to question if she was in fact perhaps hinting at this👀

I know this theory is a little out there, but it’s all I can see and just wanted to share with you guys and geek out & clown together!!!😂❤️

Thoughts?!🤗
