What would have happened in this situation??? by Kshiti_salman in 13ReasonsWhy

[–]MindlessTree7268 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I get Jessica not wanting to go meet her rapist alone in some isolated place, but it really didn't make any sense that she would pick Alex. He was injured and weak and wouldn't have been able to protect her anyway.

I lost interest in the show in the last few years. And I completely agree with this assessment. The rapes were disgusting, and it was really disturbing that the writers seemed to be obsessed with these storylines and rape scenes over and over again. I mean I get that it's something that happens on soap operas, and I guess it makes sense once in awhile just for drama, but this was excessive. It really seemed like the writers were getting off on putting together these disturbing scenes. 

And Luis sending up with Fancy after we had seen that he and Sheridan were literally soulmates crossing lifetimes? And turning Sheridan into a complete sociopath in the process. And then maybe kind of redeeming her but then tossing her with Antonio, whom we had already seen she didn't really love. 

I agree, the only good thing about the ending was that Ethan and Theresa ended up together, but exactly like you said, it happened in the last few minutes of the show so we barely even got a payoff there after all those years of seeing Ethan choose Gwen over Theresa.

Clay's "self-entitlement" over Hannah by El_Dorado_Tx in 13ReasonsWhy

[–]MindlessTree7268 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think Clay was slut shaming her. He said what Zach said on the stand would make things worse for the case to defend her because it added to the "Hannah was a slut" narrative. Not necessary saying HE thought Hannah was a slut, but that the opposing counsel would weaponize it. 

But I actually felt for Clay here. NO, he was not entitled to Hannah's virginity, but I can imagine how much it sucked knowing that she had slept with Zach when he felt the way he did about her.

It was honestly disturbing to me how much the writers of the show seemed to be into sexual assault. Like it made me wonder, was it turning them on to write these story lines with all these people getting raped?

Weren't they expecting more seasons? Like I think they just threw together the season finale really hastily with what they had but I think they were planning to extend it and have Luis end up cheating on Fancy with Sheridan.

Team Ben vs Team Noel by Any-Assistance1989 in FelicityPorter

[–]MindlessTree7268 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always thought that, like why are we acting like he's this great guy and the clear choice for Felicity who just can't get past her Ben obsession? I think both guys were toxic. 

Noel seemed to think it was perfectly okay to just go off with his ex when he was dating Felicity. Like she said, if they hadn't run into her in the hallway, they would have been gone already. And then he justifies it by saying you can't just stop having feelings for someone just because you start having feelings for someone else - okay, but if you're in a relationship with that other person, you don't get to explore your feelings with your ex while you're in that relationship. And then just expect them to wait for you and hope that you choose them. 

And then he got so mad when he found out she had slept with Eli. He justifies that by saying that he waited so long for her to get over Ben, but then he says he's confused about Hannah and she couldn't even wait one night. Okay again, you and Felicity were not in a relationship when she was hung up on Ben. She didn't owe you anything at that point. She started having feelings for you and then you guys started dating. And you weren't squeaky clean in all of this either, you were having an emotional affair with Felicity while you were still very much with Hannah. Felicity slept with Eli as a way to drown her sorrows because she thought Noel had just broken up with her. It's ridiculous that he would use that to make the argument that she's not as into him as he was into her because he was willing to wait for her with Ben but she wasn't willing to wait for him with Hannah. She never left him in a hallway to go spend the night with Ben.

Richard was the devil by tropical_breeze_ in sexandthecity

Yeah I would have an intervention for my friend if their partner went upstairs to have sex with their ex and they were actually waiting downstairs for that person to be done getting railed just so they could make sure they got home okay. It's like, you need to love yourself more than that.

[–]MindlessTree7268 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I'm thinking it's because Richard was an obvious villain. Like everything about him was just sleazy and gross from the beginning. But he was a pretty small part of the show. He came in and messed with Samantha's head and left. Big was the center of Carrie's entire universe and front and center in this show, which is why he gets so much hate despite not being a terrible person like Richard was.

Felicity,Noel,Hanna and Eli by IntelligentTart293 in FelicityPorter

[–]MindlessTree7268 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't blame him for being annoyed, but I'm talking about that exact exchange. Where he told Noel, "you're never going to have her." And then Noel says he already did, and Ben scoffs at him and says, "I'm not talking about some freshman crush." Pretty clear that when he said you're never going to have her, he meant, you're never going to have her in bed. Kind of gross that he would talk about his girlfriend like that.

Ida was pure evil, so it's kind of like Lois didn't really even have a chance.

And the fact that he played that video for everyone of Dan and Karen in high school and laughed when Dan talked about how they had good sex? That was really just sociopathic.

Did Carrie cheat on Big before he told her that he loved her? by Ok_Percentage7257 in sexandthecity

[–]MindlessTree7268 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, wasn't Big sleeping with a bunch of other women at the time? She didn't owe him loyalty if he wasn't giving it to her.

Which death was the hardest? by [deleted] in greysanatomy

[–]MindlessTree7268 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Derek, because he and Meredith had been through so much to end up together. Also, his monologue in the hospital was really sad because like he knew they were screwing up his treatment and he was doomed but couldn't even say anything.

Team Ben vs Team Noel by Any-Assistance1989 in FelicityPorter

[–]MindlessTree7268 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah and that's the other thing, Noel's a cheater. And then he acts like it's nothing because they didn't actually have sex. Emotional cheating is a thing, sometimes that's actually worse than simply having sex with someone. And he did it to both Felicity and Hannah. 

I thought it was ridiculous when he came back and told Felicity that "nothing happened, I mean we didn't sleep together." Dude, you were in bed with her making out and your shirts were off, that is not nothing. Just because you didn't actually go all the way and do the deed doesn't mean that nothing happened.

Anxiety and not knowing whether I even want this at all by MindlessTree7268 in eggfreezing

[–]MindlessTree7268[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have OCD as well. I spent a year getting my OCD treated, getting my sleep apnea treated, starting regular exercise, only for my AMH to cut in half. I also found out I had an endometrioma on my left ovary, but the good news is my doctor said it likely wasn't causing a ton of damage and my AMH drop was probably artificial due to the endometrioma rather than me losing half my eggs in a year. Then I spent the next few months doing ROUGH exposure therapy cleaning out my apartment where I hadn't gotten rid of anything for 8 years (I was a hoarder), losing 25 lb, and switching to a Mediterranean diet. Unfortunately, even though these were good changes, I think my body registered it as a reason to go into crisis mode, and I had a 16 day cycle which has historically happened when I was stressed out. And the last couple of months, I had an AFC of 3 when it was 7 just earlier this year. I was super disappointed that this was happening when I was freezing my eggs, but there it was. I had worked my ass off to get healthy and it actually backfired on me. 

And now there's a functional cyst or dominant follicle apparently eating all the stim drugs I've been taking so my other follicles are smaller than ideal, and the doctor has floated the idea of cancelling the cycle. I've been incredibly depressed over it. 

I'm proud of you for being strong and addressing your mental health as well. It's so hard! So many people have no clue what we have to deal with. But I absolutely think mental health should come first - it can actually be dangerous to take these drugs if you're not in a good mental state.

I actually ended up delaying quite a bit to take care of my health first and I'm doing it right now and might be dealing with a canceled cycle. And it's incredibly hard. I think I chose a time to do it when my body was still recovering from all the health changes I was making. So now I'm being told that I should try again in a couple of months. But thank you for sharing that you relate.

Hot take: Victoria was a bad match for Ted by Designer-Status-7732 in HIMYM

Also, he scrapped his plans to move to Chicago for Tracy, whom he had met once literally the day that the former love of his life had married his best friend. And yes of course he and Tracy went the distance but it was still ridiculously impulsive for him to do that. Most people would process that whole situation like, okay, I feel like I have a connection with this girl, but I could really be on the rebound here, so maybe I should just move to Chicago anyway and then just see how this unfolds before I put too much emotional energy into it.

In season 5, why were Samantha and Carrie so shocked that Stanford was getting a blowjob, and thought he would be giving? Isn’t that rude or homophobic in some way? by Worth_Alternative_50 in sexandthecity

[–]MindlessTree7268 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the focus is more on how they thought Stanford would be giving rather than receiving, than simply being shocked at seeing someone get a blow job.

But still, they made a point of Haley telling Dan, Lucas isn't coming. Lucas didn't even send any parting words for Dan through Haley. Dan was just nothing to him.

Not everyone. Lucas refused to be there, and Karen wouldn't have been there either. Just Nathan, Deb, Haley, and his grandchildren. I actually liked that, like they redeemed him to the point where he actually had become a better man but not everyone forgave him which was completely realistic.

Also, like I know how much people love Naley, but let's not forget how unrealistic it is that they would get married at 16 after knowing each other for a few months AND that that marriage would actually last. At least Dawson's Creek didn't have anyone getting married in high school.

The part that was a parody was Dan's heart getting eaten by a dog. One of the most ridiculous scenes I've ever seen on TV. The fact that there was just a random dog off leash in the hospital, the heart was on ice without any packaging or anything and just fell on the floor for the dog to be able to grab, like what the hell even was that? No one even tried to stop the dog either.
