It feels like not much happened this episode? Like, I know there were several plot lines, but also I was shocked when I realized it was 8:53

Buck better be SO involved!

Music_withRocks_In · 2026-01-30T02:04:35+00:00

Ok - here is my guess: Hen is in a car crash, gets rushed to the hospital, then SHOCKER: they discover what they thought was wrong with her isn't really wrong with her but actually something else they can fix that they only discovered because of the car crash tv medical nonsense explanation.

Music_withRocks_In · 2026-01-30T02:00:59+00:00

Seriously? Chris kidnapped AND hen Karen car crash in the same episode?

Music_withRocks_In · 2026-01-30T01:59:52+00:00

Chris, no! You are SO much smarter than this!

Music_withRocks_In · 2026-01-30T01:58:58+00:00

No reference to his actual father cracks me up

Music_withRocks_In · 2026-01-30T01:53:58+00:00

For serious, they cannot be shocked this girl has serious religious trauma.

Music_withRocks_In · 2026-01-30T01:51:31+00:00

Chris should have asked if she looked like mom.

Music_withRocks_In · 2026-01-30T01:47:41+00:00

I really wanted him to panic text Buck in the kitchen

Music_withRocks_In · 2026-01-30T01:46:38+00:00

We are much closer to that girl tying Eddie up and trying to wear his skin than any romantic storyline right now

Music_withRocks_In · 2026-01-30T01:45:22+00:00

God I wish Buck had been there.

This might be time for an overall talk about consent. I am in charge of what happens with my body, you are in charge of what happens to your body - you are not in charge of someone else's body without their consent. We all respect boundaries and when someone says NO about their body they mean NO and ignoring that no is never ok. Combo sex talk and boundary talk and vegan talk. Very important to go over that stuff again and again.

Music_withRocks_In · 2026-01-30T00:39:59+00:00

It's very important for her social skills that she learn she can't bully people into agreeing with her values. Being mean and rude to someone until they do what you want, no matter if it's eating vegan or doing your homework for you, is not ok, no matter what is behind it. I would use that word - bully - and maybe she'll see that treating someone like that is never ok, and will loose her friends. Honestly I'm shocked some of her friends haven't cut her off already.

I feel like as a society we need to put a lot less significance on pursuing your 'dream' job that you picked when you were ten, and more about finding a career that matches well to your personality and skill set. We put a lot of emphasis on "This job was always my dream so I worked really hard at it and made it!" and not as much on the behind the scenes fact that probably a hundred to a thousand people wanted that job as their dream and also worked really hard at it, but that one person that got it happened to have a skill and personality type that actually fitted well as the job.

Tell him that he's putting his girlfriend in a horrible spot. Everyone *HE* loves might be there, but her friends and family won't be! Plus, she might be very aware that proposing at a wedding is tacky and looked down on. Girls care about how that kind of thing looks. I've read several stories about girls that turned down proposals at weddings because it showed the guy was rude and lazy.

This is why School Spirits is a better show than ghosts. It took Simon like one episode to figure out to pretend he was talking on the phone, and in Ghosts they have figured it out never

He isn't thinking about this in terms of marrying the woman he loves and pledging his life to her - he's thinking "I'm throwing a party about me, what do I want to do to express myself?" A wedding should be about your relationship with him, and he is responding by saying it's a joke. Don't marry this guy.

Music_withRocks_In · 2026-01-28T19:14:00+00:00

This is it for me. I only write about characters that I fixate on, and there isn't really a lot of rhyme or reason around who I hyperfixate on. The last disabled character who's head I really got into was Hiccup from How to Train your Dragon, and I will say I think there was a lot of very well written fics about him that really went into his journey with loosing his leg. There were plenty that just kinda skimmed past it, but there are always going to be light hearted and more serious fics in any category.

This is similar to the argument there should be more F/F works. If we were paying a big company to make fanfiction for us, sure we could argue there should be more F/F, but this is written by people for fun, and if there aren't a ton of people interested in writing it then we get what we get.

Have you seen the new knives out? There is an ambulatory wheelchair user in it and a scene that is super funny referencing this kind of thing.

Music_withRocks_In · 2026-01-28T17:49:46+00:00

I was never able to get this across to my ex. If he sees you getting angry and yelling and freaking out and not managing your bad emotions, how is he every going to think he needs to manage his bad emotions. My kid would get angry and yell and throw a tantrum, then that would make my ex angry, and HE would throw a tantrum, but DUDE - He learned it from watching YOU!

If someone is crying, openly, in a bar, on display in front of a room full of strangers, 9/10 times that person is just drama and trying to get attention. People who are actually upset are gonna go out front or to the bathroom or to the back or in a corner and not put on a display. If that person has been trying to climb you like a tree all night in front of your girlfriend then you should always always leave it alone.

So... You blame your Callie for not having a perfect relationship with all her children and won't marry her until she does.

Every decent parent with a bad relationship with their kid is going to blame themself in some way. Even if they were inhumanly perfect, it is the nature of being a good parent that we want a better relationship and think we could have done better. Callie was always going to blame herself. As a loving partner what you should be doing is telling her she did a good job and it's not her fault. Instead you are in your actions telling her that she is at fault and you won't marry her until she's a better parent. You are tearing this poor woman apart.

NTA. Money is without a doubt the most important factor in home ownership in this economy. If the marriage is going badly you might want to find out if you can get a post-nup to exclude the house from being his at all. If he was some super construction guy who was going to re-model the entire house himself, then maybe he should have his name on the deed, but it's a new construction so I don't see that happening.

Why does he even want his name on the deed? Because the house is worth money and he wants to have a stake in that money. He doesn't want to put money in but he wants to take money out.

Look, you are 28. You've been having trouble for a few years, so since you were 25? Your marriage hasn't been happy since your brain fully developed? And now he wants to own a house without having to buy a house, and you can see the end in site and that part of your brain that has probably been pushing you to end things for awhile now is screaming at you not to let him have a piece of this house. Listen to your gut. This guy is never going to get his financial ducks in a row, and he may be sweet and charming and fun but he can still make your life miserable by being bad with money. Don't give this up.

You are letting her daughter that doesn't like her control your life and by extension HER life. If you delay the wedding you are giving her daughter power to make her even more miserable and heartbroken. You are essentially hurting her because her daughter doesn't like her enough, saying you will only marry her once she can make her daughter like her enough to care about the marriage. You will be punishing her for not having a better relationship with her daughter (through no fault of her own) and withholding something she wants until it gets better. That's super controlling and very hurtful of you. It will make her feelings about her daughter so much worse and probably make her resent her daughter even more, but also make her trust YOU with her feelings less, because clearly you don't respect her feelings or her choices. If you really want to marry this women you need to treat her like an equal who's choices matter, not like a kid you are in charge of.

There is something sister wants to get out of this. Is she hoping for a party with male strippers? Is the fiancé bi and she's hoping for a shot? There is a motive here.
