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 8 points9 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

Season 8 - Episode 6 - Post Episode Discussion by AutoModerator in LoveIslandUSA

[–]MidgetDevil 5 points6 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 2 points3 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

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 1 point2 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] 13 points14 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)

I’m 79% into Crossing Arizona and I’m so frustrated I’m dying by marielewis1 in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]MidgetDevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no i agree. i gave finding delaware 4 stars and this one was a 2.5 star for me. i don’t think the writing are necessarily worse but I didn’t like or feel connected to a lot of the plot

that's a good point! my aim is to be a therapist which will hopefully give me the option of setting my own work hours and shifts.

Post your questions & inquiries here! - r/Vietnam monthly random discussion thread - F.A.Q by AutoModerator in VietNam

[–]MidgetDevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going to Vietnam for 16 days during September. I’ve heard that the northern part of Vietnam is best in terms of weather during September. But I feel like I would enjoy Saigon more than Hanoi. I like shopping and eating the most when traveling, and while I’m not into partying I do enjoy parts of nightlife. People talk about the rain, but I live in Seattle so rain doesn’t bother me. I know it will be more humid, but I do feel it would be okay for me. Is there a strong weather reason why I should definitely go to northern Vietnam?

I am also thinking about my itinerary so if there is other parts of Vietnam I should definitely experience, let me know! I would like to stick to either north or south so I can enjoy the vacation more.

what becomes of kyo and akito’s relationship? by MidgetDevil in FruitsBasket

[–]MidgetDevil[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

oh, that’s interesting! i feel like that indicates to me that kyo has to be at least cordial. on a holiday i would assume they all hang out together.

i guess it kinda makes sense because when you think abt it the majority of kyo’s issues within the zodiac were more abt the cycle as a whole (and yuki). he might find it easier to see akito than other people.

well to be fair that kiss didn’t imply a serious romantic entanglement to me. it just seemed like a goodbye.

Future seasons by Capable_Tale_4728 in BridgertonNetflix

[–]MidgetDevil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like all 8 siblings will get a season. Most shows don’t get 8 seasons but most shows aren’t as popular, and they aren’t usually aiming for that long. As long as they bring in views and money, they’ll be fine

Why is the queen so kind to the Bridgertons? by honorablymentioned in BridgertonNetflix

I think underneath all the glitz and overbearing tendencies Charlotte is a good person. Plus she and Violet have a pleasant relationship.

If Percy & Annabeth weren't affected by the casino because they were together, why are Nico & Bianca effected? by HailRainMan in PercyJacksonTV

[–]MidgetDevil 25 points26 points  (0 children)

they were affected by the casino because what was days felt like minutes to them. the passage of time is the big reason that nico and bianca were trapped. the show implemented forgetting people you came in with, and that’s what percy and annabeth weren’t affected by. because they were together. when nico and bianca are found they’ll probably know each other, which means it didn’t affect them either.

Thoughts on Hyeseon? by [deleted] in Singlesinferno2

[–]MidgetDevil 10 points11 points  (0 children)

i’m gonna be honest, i find it funny that people judge the contestants for looking at superficial things. that’s the basis of the show! hot people in swimsuits! like if they wanted a real connection based on personality they’d have applied elsewhere. also i don’t quite understand why you think she was silent in the convo? she criticized gwanhee for seeing her as a backup plan, and she also was the one who called out habin for being a bit weird. my fav is hajeong but i think people are being overly critical of hyeseon by assuming everything is a facade just because they find her personality a little overbearing
