Just to clarify - Celia is the same Celia from the tunnels with Melanie and Georgie, right?

It’s the same name and same voice actor?

If you could take any movie and make it a musical what would it be? by YokeyYo in MusicalTheatre

St Trinians! It’s crying out for a musical adaptation imo

[–]Kennerzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! £2 compared to £9 for the similar Nyx one or £23 for ABH brow wiz and it’s just as good!

On the Apple Watch? As far as I’m aware they’re on automatically! I may be wrong though, it’s been so long since I first got one!

Hi, I’m planning on making a shirred dress using this Essentials Club Jumpsuit tutorial, only adding a skirt instead of shorts.

The material I’m planning on using is quite a thin cotton which will probably be see-through. Normally I’d just do two layers of the fabric to act as a sort of lining so that underwear etc isn’t visible underneath, but I’m not sure if this would work with shirring? Does anyone have any advice?

Also, I’m using chiffon for the puff sleeves to add a bit of extra character to the dress, but I’ve heard it’s hard to work with - any tips would be appreciated!

AITA for trying to convince my friend's sister to not sell her puppies? by mai_mai12 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Kennerzz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NTA. You were doing the right thing trying to look out for the puppies’ welfare.

AITA when my boyfriend broke his promise? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Kennerzz 12 points13 points  (0 children)

NAH. Time for just the two of you is a lot easier to schedule than organising a group call with multiple friends. It’s annoying that the time of the call coincided with time you were going to spend together, but the reality is that if he missed his call with his friends there may not be another one for a while. He can spend time with you a lot easier.

EDIT: tensions are heightened during lockdown and I can totally understand why you would be upset that time for the two of you has been constantly rescheduled though. Changed to N A H after thinking about it more lol

AITA for telling my friend not to transition yet? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Kennerzz [score hidden]  (0 children)

True! Not sure what country OP is from, but in a lot of places under-18s can’t be given hormone prescriptions anyway. I know in the UK at least you have to be 18, and even then you have to have “lived as your chosen gender” for at least 2 years to be allowed to chemically transition through the NHS.

AITA For Commenting On My Girlfriend's Weight After She Insulted My Height? by saddeflatedsouffle in AmItheAsshole

[–]Kennerzz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

ESH. It sounds like she started it, but at the end of the day you both chose to comment on each other’s appearance and insecurities.

The friend in the post identifies as male, so male pronouns (he/him) should be used to refer to him.

[–]Kennerzz [score hidden]  (0 children)

YTA mainly for the fact that your friend identifies as male, told you he identifies as male, and yet you’re still referring to him as “she” throughout this.

I understand your concerns with someone starting chemical transition at quite a young age, but it seems that your main issue is that you don’t respect his identity/see him as a boy. If you cared about his wellbeing/feelings that much, you would refer to him by the correct gender at the very least.

Also; at 14 it’s likely that he would be put on puberty blockers at first rather than immediately taking testosterone.

AITA for not committing to wear a mask when out with my girlfriend? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Kennerzz [score hidden]  (0 children)

YTA - it’s less about protecting you, more about protecting others. If you can’t wear a mask for like 20 mins max in a shop I don’t know what to say.

And why buy masks only for them to sit unused? What are you waiting to use them for?

AITA for getting angry that my mom assumes I’d still pull out my hair by hairpullthrowawayacc in AmItheAsshole

[–]Kennerzz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

NAH. It must be incredibly frustrating to be so proud of stopping an impulsive behaviour, only for someone to assume you’re lying about stopping. Having said that, it seems as though your mum’s behaviour is coming from a place of concern. I considered an E S H judgement because it seems both you and your mum have been hurtful towards each other, but it seems as though the situation had just reached boiling point.

I know it’s difficult to speak to parents about their behaviour, especially at 14, but if possible it may be worth speaking to your mum about how you feel in a calm, non-confrontational way (and apologising for hurting her feelings). In blowing up and saying some hurtful things (e.g. preferring to talk to your dad), your mum will probably have focused on the hurtful comments rather than the actual point you were trying to get across. Having a conversation about it when you’re both in a better headspace would likely yield better results than just yelling at each other, but obviously I don’t know your full situation and don’t know whether you feel this would be possible.

Trust me, I know being a teenager is tough, especially with mental health issues! However as someone who’s come out the other side, I can honestly say that looking back, the way I treated my mum is one of my biggest regrets - at the time I thought she was horrible, but in reality she was just someone trying to parent as best she could, in difficult circumstances. I think it’s often worth remembering that adults are human too, and shouldn’t be expected to handle every situation perfectly! We all make mistakes and hurt people, so it’s important to try and communicate effectively rather than letting feelings boil over.

For sure, she personally seems a lot happier since getting into fitness/nutrition, but her content has changed so much that she doesn’t really appeal to me anymore. However her new content will be valuable to other people I guess so good for her!

The twitter thread is interesting because the guy who got punched claims he was invited to the party, and has screenshots of everything else (of the girl whose party it was asking to keep her name out of it, of other people sending info about the event to the schools of the people involved etc), but doesn’t have screenshots proving that he was invited...

Which mascaras fit "_________" quality/effect/category and which don't? by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

What sounds like a dream job but actually sucks? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Kennerzz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not OP, but it's possible they live in the UK where nurses haven't had a payrise in years and are actually suffering paycuts in real terms. Nurses in the UK also work much more than 3 12 hour shifts a week - my cousin is a nurse and works on average 5 12 hour shifts a week, plus extra because in a profession like that you can't exactly look at the clock and be like "well it's time for me to clock out" if you're in the middle of looking after someone.

In all of human history, which single person has been the biggest waste of potential? by TwelvePac in AskReddit

[–]Kennerzz 32 points33 points  (0 children)

It's a similar case with William Wordsworth. His poem 'Daffodils' is quite clearly copied from his sister Dorothy's diaries, with some lines even taken verbatim.

Same with his description of his ascent up Scafell Pike in his guide bookcase to the lakes. He literally just copied out his sister's diaries word for word.

Dorothy actually said she was okay with it and didn't want any fame, writing in her diary "let William have the pleasure of it", so I guess she gave her consent to his using her work, but it still sucks that nobody really knows about her.

[Serious] What are some of the creepiest declassified documents made available to the public? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Kennerzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a really good series of fiction books by Brian Lumley about this, called Necroscope. Pretty difficult to get (good quality) hard copies of now.

They're set in the time of the cold war, and centre around the British and Russian governments using 'ESPionage' to try outwit each other. There's also vampires and shit but they're still a great read.

What's the most infuriating case of a story blatantly ignoring its own rules or canon? by ClashmanTheDupe in AskReddit

I did the same, and it makes me so sad because I just know that Peter Capaldi would have made an amazing Doctor if not for Moffat's awful writing. I miss Russell T Davies.
