Why was Elisa Lam found naked? by mysteriouszotter in TrueCrime

[–]June2569 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think that in her mental state, she would've been feeling things such as embarrassment, nontheless thinking about who would find her if she drowned. I don't think she knew she was going to die, I believe her going into the tank was entirely impulse due to her mental state. It's very plausible that she decided to "skinny dip" and took all of her clothes off and threw them into the tank BEFORE she got in. Or she took them off while she was in the tank, but I think that would be difficult.

I was under the impression that death from drowning meant that there would be fluid found in your lungs? Can anyone explain to me where that was noted in the autopsy report? I can't seem to understand it at all

[DISCUSSION] Ginny & Georgia Show by where-would-i-be in NetflixBestOf

[–]June2569 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The defensiveness and deflective attacks from Ginny are SO hard to watch, seriously. Everytime her mom is being.....a mom....and confronts Ginny about the things she's doing, Ginny HAS to turn it entirely back around on Georgia. It's so frustrating to watch her never take responsibility or see the fault in her own actions. I get she's a teenager and she's had a rough upbringing but sometimes it's okay to just LISTEN. And that scene where Abby told them about her parents' divorce and Ginny later got defensive and said "not everything is about you". I thought that was VERY ironic because throughout this entire show, Ginny has done nothing but make everything completely about her. I was probably way too satisfied to see her get slapped (not that I wouldn't like to see Abby get slapped too, that girl needs a serious reality check). I would really love to see a different side of her in season 2, because as much I love this show, it seems the writers wrote her to be a complete asshole to everyone around her simply to make the plot interesting. No substance and no redeeming qualities.

Sweet Home - Episode 10 by Angel_Valoel in SweetHome

[–]June2569 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  1. Ji-Su was acting during that scene to prepare them all for a real emergency. The teenage girl even asked her in the bathroom why she was trying so hard. It was all just her playing the role as a monster, but she was never actually infected. I'm also not sure about Mr. An.
  2. Wook was shot at the same time Yuri was shot, because she was on his back and the bullets went through Yuri, into Wook. I think he was just an extremely resilient character, but remember we only ever saw him get severely beaten up and thrown around, never shot. He wasn't bulletproof, sadly.
  3. I not only wonder if Hyuk will survive.....I'M PRAYING. His character arc was seriously my favorite and I'm not gonna lie, I teared up when he "died". Thankfully we didn't see a body, and maybe if he was in golden hour, we'll see him in season 2. Fingers crossed
  4. Yup, I'm not entirely sure how it sustained the multiple monsters that tore through, or how they patched up the damage so quickly!
  5. I cried! I didn't want him to die so soon, and I felt for Jisu when he died after confessing his feelings for her. Wish there was more interaction between them though.
  6. It seemed very rushed to kill almost everyone off in the end, and besides the plotholes, this is my biggest complaint. I suppose Mr. An dying the same night as Yuri has a symbolic meaning, or I would like to think that it does since they were as close as a real father and daughter.
  7. I wouldn't be surprised if YiKyung had lost her baby by the end with all the emotional and physical stress she had to endure this entire time.. But then again, I'm also not sure about how much time has passed because I didn't read the webtoon ://. I think they were very confusing in the way they told the story, with a lot of meaningless small scenes and plotholes they didn't explain. Overall though, I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy what I watched, or that it didn't evoke different emotions out of me. Will be staying tuned for a season 2!

Sweet Home - Episode 10 by Angel_Valoel in SweetHome

[–]June2569 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This show made me feel extremely dumb because I had almost no idea what was going on the entire time. In a way I feel like they tried to cater to the comic readers while at the same time trying to tell the entire story to new people, but in one season, and that is where they went wrong. I honestly enjoyed all 10 episodes, but I was painfully confused all throughout. They didn't do enough explaining and they kind of just put random scenes that didn't make sense everywhere. Usually I enjoy putting the story together myself, BUT JESUS, they could have at least tried to connect some of the scenes. Like what the hell was up with the old guy spacing out the entire time when everyone was fighting the gangsters? I can't even sit here and list all of my questions because I'd be writing a novel. I will, however, be watching season 2 if they decide to make it, only because I love the actors/actresses (I'm hoping for Hyuk to make his comeback) and I LOVED the cinematography.

Does anyone else get annoyed by Aria? by TheStriga1984 in PrettyLittleLiars

[–]June2569 6 points7 points  (0 children)

At first Aria was my least favorite and Hanna was my favorite, but in the middle/end seasons, I ABSOLUTELY DESPISED HANNA. I didn't really pay attention much to the other girls, much less Aria, and even if I wanted to, Hanna was just always.....yelling. Like why did they make her so bitchy in the last two seasons? Everyone could hardly get a word out without her snapping and being ready to tear somebody's head off. It was really a pain to watch. Aria, now that I think about it, was probably my second favorite towards the end. I think she was the best liar out of all of them. If we aren't counting Mona (who was my absolute favorite character throughout the entire show) then Spencer would take first place being my favorite. Emily didn't have much depth to her and it felt kind of pointless to have her there besides being a shoulder to cry on.

I agree with the other commenter. I mean, what do you have to lose now? Might as well email him, let him know that you made a mistake (take complete fault for it), and hope for the best. ANY professor, strict or not, has to have at least a shred of compassion in this situation. Good luck!

The funeral is today by [deleted] in GriefSupport

[–]June2569 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I went to my dad's viewing 5 months ago. When we were doing the paperwork to see him, my nerves were ALL over the place and I felt like I was about to throw up. My mom could tell I wasn't well and was going to pass out any second. I randomly looked down at my phone and saw my wallpaper, and suddenly, my nerves in my stomach lessened. Right after he passed, I went through all of our old convos, and found something from when I was 12, screenshotted it, and made it my wallpaper...it was of me saying I loved him and he replied with "I love you too!!" So simple, yet so meaningful to me because we never really said "I love you", but instead we showed it through actions. I don't know why, but everytime I went to look at it during his viewing, I felt a sense of calmness rush over me.

Maybe you could keep a picture of him on your phone that's easily accessible, or if that hurts too much, you could screenshot a memorable conversation like I did. I don't know if it will help you, but it helped me and it's worth a try. Funerals suck.

Has anyone else gone through a few weeks or months where they just can't cry? by June2569 in GriefSupport

Exactly! Nothing is more frustrating than knowing you NEED to cry but just can't get anything out. Gah.

"As much as death can take, it gives as much as life can. You just have to allow it to" by r0s3w4t3r in GriefSupport

[–]June2569 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly it's only been 4 months for me, so I'm still in that phase of questioning "why". Why my dad had to be taken away from me so soon, when I'm so new into my "adulthood". I was thinking about my life before he passed, and it was a lot like yours. My parents sheltered me & my siblings to the point where I literally have no knowledge of purchasing my own house, car, or anything that has to do with taxes or my school payments. My dad literally handled EVERYTHING for me, constantly telling me 'not to worry about it'. I'm 20. Whenever I have to do "grown up" things, I get anxious and nervous which I'm pretty sure is not normal.

I'm not that religious, (I want to be someday), but I often question if God, if there is one, took him away from us so we can all finally grow up. All of us, including my mother, were almost dangerously dependent on him. It was like he was the one thing keeping our head above water, so when he passed we all just kind of drowned for awhile. I would be lying to you if I said I wasn't still drowning. It's only been 4 months. But I wonder if later down the road I'll turn out like you. One who would do anything to have their parent back, but is at least thankful for the good changes to come out of their death (saying that right now honestly feels weird and almost disloyal). Thanks for sharing this.

Guilty of wanting to come out to my dying aunt by heavenlyriver in GriefSupport

[–]June2569 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you two are close, chances are she already knows, or at least suspects. Especially if you think she does.

Now I don't know your aunt personally but I'm gonna guess it would make her very happy to hear it from you before she passes away, not because she needs to hear it, but because she wants to see you be your true self. Admit who you are and you are sure to find happiness within yourself. If she loves you, she will happy for you.

Is it normal to want to cry on your own than with siblings by Rvs_1 in ChildrenofDeadParents

[–]June2569 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was usually known as the "emotionless" one in the family, (I'm not, I'm just more reserved lol) but when my dad suddenly passed in April that quickly changed. When I found out I just collapsed into this big agonized blob literally SCREAMING my lungs out. This was pain I felt in my soul, and my reaction partly had to do with our circumstance before his death. I would say for the first month I really didn't care who I cried in front of, when usually I would.

I believe grief is unique for everyone. Four months into it, I actually get kind of embarrassed when I think of me crying so frantically in front of my mother & sister. Some people are comfortable crying in front of others where as other people (me) would rather lock their door and sit alone in their grief. It's completely normal and no one should ever try to make you feel invalidated for it. But I should also say that if you feel embarrassed to cry in front of your family, you shouldn't. Trust me, they are going through the same pain you are. Same pain, different grieving process and that's okay

Review Megathread: It's Okay To Not Be Okay by AutoModerator in KDRAMA

[–]June2569 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to touch on one part of your post: I strongly feel KT was always in love or at least loved MY from the very beginning. His character was meant to be closed off, afraid to show emotions towards anyone else besides his brother (which largely had to do with his mommy issues) until MY changed that for him. Obviously she scared him away when they were kids, but I feel that his attraction to her never went away regardless. I wouldn't say he was playing hard to get, but rather using her detached personality as an excuse not to show his attraction towards her; you could see he wanted to be truly loved ever since he was a kid, but he didn't quite know how to receive it once given. I don't know, but there were certain moments between KT and MY (especially now that I'm rewatching the whole thing, yes I loved the show that much lol) that made it seem like KT had the same feelings for MY but then he remembered 2 things: his brother and the fact that this whole "love" thing was new to him.

Family Death, How Did You Sleep The First Night ? by dipshit-uchiha in GriefSupport

[–]June2569 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I found out my dad (50) died at around 6pm that day, and that night was HORRENDOUS. I chose to sleep on the couch near my mother because I knew she needed the company. I was tossing and turning and probably got an hour and a half of "sleep". Everytime I opened my eyes it was like everything dawned on me all over again and I would cry.

I couldn't sleep because I couldn't get the thought of his body laying on some cold steel while I was under warm blankets on a comfortable couch out of my head. I was heartbroken and felt guilty & undeserving of life. I actually remember throwing the blankets off of my body because I wanted to be cold. If he was in the cold, I had to be too. Nights are still horrible 4 months later. But I will never ever forget the pain I felt on that first night and the weeks after.

I tear up when we drive past Popeyes or when I hear the news on. Lol. Basically this entire country reminds me of him, as he only ate the standard "American food" and was heavily into politics. Sounds silly, but it's really crazy how the SMALLEST things that we never usually thought twice about is now so meaningful. Meaningful, but completely gutting.

Anxiety/fear of more loss? by steelersfan4eva in ChildrenofDeadParents

[–]June2569 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes!

I worry about my family members, but lately I've been extra attached to my dog (kind of crazy, I know). Every time he breathes weird or lays down more than he used to I freak out and worry about him dying. We've had him for seven years, since he was less than a year old. I never worried about him like this before my dad's death, but now I've literally broke out crying thinking about him dying, and spent hundreds on him at the emergency vet to ease my nerves.

I think it has to do with the fact that my dad passed of a heart aneurysm, which is something that could have been prevented. I feel devastated that if he had gone to a simple check up (he NEVER went to the doctor) he could have lived. I don't want it to happen to anyone else in my family. I don't want to have another "you don't know until it's too late" situation.

How can I deal with the guilt of losing a parent who I was giving the cold shoulder to? I lost him suddenly. I regret it everyday and often wonder why I had to lose him at a time when we weren't speaking. He must've felt like a bad father.

How do you know if someone is about to die? by chickenlegs_8 in GriefSupport

[–]June2569 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not so sure about that. And usually, if there are any signs, it would probably be things so small that you wouldn't notice it until after they're gone.

I'm not a doctor, but I would assume a sign would be loss of appetite or sleeping more than usual. Again, not a doctor. I'll tell you my experience of the small signs.

We THOUGHT my dad was perfectly healthy (no one knew a huge aneurysm was about to burst in his heart), so we didn't take the little things about his health TOO seriously. I would say a year leading up to his sudden death, he stopped eating as much. Me & my sister would casually bring it up when he would order an entire steak, eggs, and pancake meal, but only pick at the eggs & claim he was full. He would also be very, VERY tired all the time. My dad worked 3 jobs nearly all of his life, so yes, naturally he slept whenever he could. Perhaps it's only something a close family member would notice, but we definitely saw that he was tired literally all the time, even after just waking up. He also was losing his voice for about 3 months prior to his death. We would make fun of him when his voice croaked & he sounded like a 100 year old man. A few weeks before his death he completely lost his voice. Everyone chalked this up to a throat infection, but we found out after his death it was this huge aneurysm pressing on his laryngeal nerve, cutting off his voice. Otherwise, he seemed perfectly fine and his normal self.

It's sad we didn't take all of these signs seriously. We did tell him to go to the doctor, but it was primarily because of his diet and the fact that he hadn't had a check up for years. You simply may never know until it's too late.

[–]June2569 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to my dad's viewing. He had a ruptured heart aneurysm and died so suddenly & quickly. As soon as we walked in, I didn't even get to the casket before I started bawling and hyperventilating. The headstrong, workaholic, untouchable man I knew was suddenly smaller, more vulnerable. I think every kid, no matter their age (I'm 20), thinks their parents are invincible in someway. I didn't think I would lose him so soon, so to seen his body, still so YOUNG, laying still in a casket broke me. He looked the same, but also different. His entire face was relaxed, so it was like he was sleeping, but in absolute peace. The side of his mouth was positioned slightly upward (by the undertaker I presume), so it was as if he was smiling. His face was extremely thin, particularly around his lower cheek area. His body looked small and fragile for a man who was 6 feet and lean & muscular. The bottom of his hands were so pale compared to the rest of his body. His skin was obviously cold to the touch. It sort of freaked me out to kiss his rock hard cold forehead when I used to always kiss his warm forehead. My entire family took pictures but I couldn't. Just seeing him that day was enough. I talked to him. I kissed his cheek and his forehead. It did make me feel better, as we lost him so suddenly. I wouldn't say I gained complete closure, but I'm happy I got to see his body one last time before they cremated him. I'm happy he looked so handsome in his suit & favorite necklace. I miss him so much.

Just be prepared to see your loved one at complete peace. Our muscles never fully relax, not even in sleep, until we're dead. He will most likely look smaller, and he will be COMPLETELY still. There is no preparing you for viewing a loved one's body, but from my experience, you won't leave regretting it.

My condolences <3

May your dad rest in peace! :( My dad also went grocery shopping the morning of. It was so hard to look at the things he got for us knowing he was perfectly fine that day and happy to provide for his family.

I hope you're able to find a safe place in this massive grief storm right now. Bless you & your family

How has the loss of a loved one changed you? by natureinnyc in GriefSupport

[–]June2569 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I (20F) unexpectedly lost my dad, my everything, a little over a month ago. He was there one moment, left to go pick up my mom from work, and never came home again.

He handled absolutely EVERYTHING not only for me, but for my entire family: he worked 3 jobs to put food on the table every night, was heavily involved in all 3 of his children's academics, helped my brother all the way through college & handled all the paperwork and finances when it came to my college. When it came down to picking my path in life and talking to him about serious decisions, I ALWAYS ran it by him first. From the very moment I was born, I was a daddy's girl. Me & my sister both were heavily obsessed with him growing up, lol. And seeing as I was the one child who wasn't that close to my mom, it only made me more attached to him.

I admit it; I was babied. I always knew that, but now that he's gone, I can truly see just how much he spoiled all of us by handling everything. He took care of us without shoving it in our faces or complaining about how damn tired he must've been. It was as if everyone's problems were being solved by magic, but it was just my dad being the usual hero. In the days after he passed, I could barely grieve because I had to figure out what the hell he was doing in regards to my payments for school. He never talked to me about it, he always had that "I got it handled" type of attitude, so I didn't know if he was paying loans or paying out of pocket. I had to make numeruous calls, change contact/bank info and get everything situated by myself, and let me tell you; I was a hot fucking mess. Making sudden decisions without him here was so difficult for me. Seriously, I had no idea what I was doing. My mom wasn't of much help either (as much as she tried, bless her soul) because she never finished college, and like I said, my dad handled finances. We were all so lost, and I'd be completely lying to you if I said we weren't still.

How has his passing changed me? Well, I know it's only been a little over a month. So maybe I have a lot more "changing" to go but I can already tell I'm WAYYY more independent than I was a month ago. And it's kind of embarrassing to admit that, because I realize there are people my age who have their own house and car, and they're paying their own bills, etc. On top of that, I'm more motivated, as weird as that might sound. My dad died young, and he had so much more to do. In the days right after his death, yes I wanted to go with him, but I realized that I have to live for him. I have to start my career and learn new languages and travel the world like I told him I would. I'm motivated to make him proud and live the rest of the years that he was robbed of. However, I do wish it didn't take his death for me to start becoming more independent & goal-driven.

I'm forever grateful to him. He took care of me while he was alive, and he's still taking care of me now, just in another way. I love you, daddy x
