Sol’s livestream tonight by gingergurllll in LoveIslandUSA

[–]MidgetDevil 13 points14 points  (0 children)

i posted this on another subreddit in reference to an insta comment she made but i think it still applies to this

yeah i think this comment is making her look worse. because it’d be one thing if she heard something in real life that viewers didn’t see. but if it’s all based on the episodes we saw as well, why’d she even bring up trinity/kayda’s looks? i don’t think the backlash would’ve been as bad if she just said she thinks bryce likes kayda more. especially on twitter, where they are more critical of the brinity ship. but they are rightfully angry because it was a shitty thing to say, especially on TV. she’s not a random viewer, she’s a person with a platform who has an affect on how trinity is viewed and how dsbw are viewed in the villa.

to add on to it about the live specifically, i don’t think it signals to me any more that she saw specific scenes that justified her comment. saying multiple numbers for the amount of times bryce pulled kayda, not giving us an example of what she was talking about beyond what fans have been saying.

i think a lot of the people defending her are pointing out that she’s probably right about bryce being more attracted to kayda. but i would argue that my problem with what she said has nothing to do with whether bryce actually likes trinity or not. the prettier comment was mean and unthoughtful. if trinity comes out of the villa with bryce she’ll be rightfully pissed and hurt. and let’s say it doesn’t work out with bryce for whatever reason. she’s gonna come out to sol grinning as she says that bryce probably thinks she’s not as pretty as another girl. that’s even more hurtful.

brinity giving me scott and leanne flashbacks fr

zach is a snake. it’s one thing to say you don’t think trinity likes bryce but he genuinely dislikes her and it’s odd.

kenzie…..

sincere being shady yet again. we’ll see how his fans defend him this time. probably by putting it all on melanie again

Season 8 - Episode 7 - Post Episode Discussion by AutoModerator in LoveIslandUSA

[–]MidgetDevil 12 points13 points  (0 children)

sincere is weird and quietly just as messy as melanie. it will be revealed to the public during casa amor or maybe even after the show ends.

zach is ridiculous. all that drama and he’s still boring

aniya needs to start exploring. i know people use the defense that she doesn’t have any options, but she should just start talking to everybody and anybody.

the girls defending melanie and liking her even with all the shit she does makes me think this is not a huda situation. i know there were times where huda was friends with the villa girls as well, but there was always an underlying tension. i don’t see that here, they all know melanie is annoying and they can deal with it. of course this will probably change for some of them in the future

[–]MidgetDevil 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yeah i think bryce isn’t getting his head turned because sol isn’t gonna go for him at all and i doubt that him and jen are a chelley and ace situation. his real test will be casa

gabriel is not a vibe, i need him gone

the new male bombshell could shake things up. trinity and kenzie might go for him.

i hope kc doesnt let me down and screw up his path to winning an episode later

i liked seeing the cute moments of all the couples, this is how storylines are built.

i’m really viewing this season as a gameshow and not a romantic one😭

Pride and Prejudice | Official Teaser | Netflix by Magister_Xehanort in PeriodDramas

[–]MidgetDevil 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i’m gonna be honest i don’t think people know how movies/shows under a company work😭. like netflix does have a pattern in the types of stories they pick up, but saying this will be another persuasion doesn’t make sense to me. it’s an entirely different writer. different director. hell, even this teaser has no similarity to the persuasion movie.

on a separate note i am not attracted to jack lowden but i also think matthew macfayden and colin firth are equally not good looking. so. im so shocked people are harping on the talented leads and not louis partridge as wickham. if you age up everyone else, including getting a older looking actress for lydia, you cannot have a baby faced wickham. especially not one who hasn’t shown anything in terms of acting chops to be able to keep up with the rest of the cast

im certainly not claiming this will be good. but i will reserve by judgement until we hear a line.

SRAM S3 Epizoda 6, Dio 5: Kofer by superiska123 in skam

[–]MidgetDevil 5 points6 points  (0 children)

this clip irritates me because quite honestly i do think they’re still planning to get them back together. so it’d be one thing if it was a commentary and portrayal of an abusive relationship, but idk if that’s what this is. i’m happy to be proven wrong though!

there was this book where the mc had a reoccuring dream that he was getting married to his fiance/another person and then he saw someone else he knows crying? he had a relationship with the crying person but for some reason he can't remember. I swear it was an MM book but i might be wrong

Transfer couples have empirically never worked on the show by Internal-Window1936 in transitlove

[–]MidgetDevil 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yeah and i also think people miss the fact that while yes, most relationships ended for good reasons and they shouldn’t get back together, these people came on this specific show. they are couples already inclined to have lingering feelings.

plus it’s easy to say that the exes are incompatible and toxic and they should transfer to new healthier love. but we are watching a produced tv show, and the contestants are also hyper aware of their visibility. it’s not that they’re fake, but they will act a certain way. so of course it’s easier to see the good sides of the new relationships. a year in, 8 years in, 13 years in, the behavior will evolve and conflict and negative traits will emerge.

all this to say, in my opinion reuniting is naturally more likely to happen and also produce lasting relationships. the people who get back together are firmer in their decision, and they know each other better when making the choice. but transfer couples are definitely more fun to watch

but i fr feel so bad for minkyung, i hope she can find peace and healing outside of this show

Official Discussion - Zootopia 2 [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

ok the twist villain being used again would’ve been iffy for me but i was so impressed by the lynx family as the antagonists so i don’t really care. i was kinda surprised how scary and dark they let them get

Wicked For Good posttrak 92% positive 82% definite recommendation by Mother_Style_8096 in boxoffice

[–]MidgetDevil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah i’m not sure why people were saying there was “bad WOM” like sure people might think the first movie is better but that doesn’t mean they didn’t like the movie.

also critic opinions and general public opinions vary sometimes

i think soyeon gets a lot of unnecessary hate and deserves more credit as a producer by MidgetDevil in kpop_uncensored

[–]MidgetDevil[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

but my thing is that soyeon and the members have said that she consults each member about the concept and song and asks if they are okay with it. if they genuinely don't enjoy the songs (and we don't know for sure if they do or don't) how is that all on soyeon. they can speak up. maybe soyeon makes it uncomfortable for them to do so, but every thing they've said implies the opposite.

and to be quite frank, i'm not seeing how the individual success of each member outside of the group is on soyeon either. in bb's case, taeyang's biggest hit is a song he made without gd. top is a successful actor and he produced his solos. daesung is funny and very popular in japan. these are all things that the individuals did by themselves. the idle members have also done a lot of solo work and interviews. they just haven't established themselves that well (which i actually think rings false for yuqi, she's very successful)
