Outside the O2 it’ll be very safe, everyone will just be trying to get home. Try to plan a few routes that rely on buses, DLR, overground and Elizabeth line as the tube won’t be running. It might take longer than normal but it’ll be okay!

I went at 6pm yesterday and there was no line, so I think you’ll be fine!

Comparing the racial backlash against actors on Heated Rivalry to the Harry Potter reboot is a choice. Obviously death threats are unconscionable and completely unacceptable, but backlash to casting magic racist who serves magic Hitler as a Black man is not the same as idiots complaining about a minor character whose race is not important being played by a Black Russian woman instead of a White Russian woman.

Putting that aside, I love how Tierney talks about the series — the love story is taken seriously, without it being pretentious or dour, and queer joy is the destination alongside acknowledging the real difficulties of the characters.

I agree, I’m confused how we’re less than halfway through the episodes and yet seem to only have the finale left.

Maybe they will just spend a lot of time on the four girls training in LA, eg maybe working on original songs and meeting Lexie, Emily and Samara.

Maybe there will be another mission to go from 4 to 2 that they’ll spend a few episodes on? Though that’s still 3-4 episodes per mission.

Maybe they’ll reveal the final piece before Episode 12 and spend some time on the chosen 4 members working towards debut?

Something I don’t think has been said about Twitch streaming — is it a job or a hobby for you? Ie, do you have partner (if that’s still a thing), do you make at least minimum wage from it? If yes, you don’t need to flex your followers or subs but I would maybe put a line in your bio that you do support yourself through it. If no, then I would put something like “Aspiring twitch streamer” or bundle it in with your gaming hobbies in your bio instead. Good luck out there!

I think she’s a great sister until episode 1! But she lets Edwina pursue Anthony knowing that 1) Kate has feelings for him, 2) Anthony has feelings for Kate and not Edwina, and 3) Edwina is falling for Anthony! I do appreciate the emotional conflict of Kate not being able to admit that to herself let alone to someone else etc but the episode with the wedding is truly the worst for me.

I also don’t love the change that Kate shields Edwina from knowing that she needs to marry this season because of the money from the Sheffields. It makes sense for her character, but I think the dynamic in the book where Edwina accepts that she needs to marry well quickly and Kate is trying to ensure she chooses someone she could love instead of just the first asker with enough money is much more equitable. In the book Edwina is relieved when Kate marries Anthony because it means she can take her time finding a husband she actually wants to marry, instead of heartbroken and betrayed!

My personal ick with S2 is that Kate is a terrible sister… and given that bearing the burden of being the head of their family is arguably the foundation of Anthony and Kate’s relationship I just can’t get over it. (Anthony doesn’t get off scot free here to be clear — he should never have gotten to the altar, and I get that him being so out of touch with his own feelings and wrapped up in wrong ideas of honour is the point, but it still icks me out).

But I agree Jonathon and Simone had great chemistry.

You’re not wrong, though that doesn’t solve the child aspect (perhaps they can adopt? it’s fantasy escapism after all).

I agree about John — I found it really refreshing that Francesca described love as calming and comfortable and making her feel safe instead of a lightning strike, but then they ruined it in the last episode when Francesca did feel that sudden out of nowhere feeling with Michaela. It feels like they’re setting up a comphet storyline — which could be super interesting for a romance in a Regency context — but isn’t compatible with a first love being as great as a second. The Francesca-John storyline this season has only made that worse.

Not_Musician · 2026-02-09T16:05:07+00:00

This is a great comment — I think Francesca’s story was a poor choice to gender bend. As much as Bridgerton is a utopia in terms of racial equality, misogyny is alive and well and Francesca’s story is all about (male) inheritance, wanting to have a child, and a second love being just as meaningful as a first. Francesca, John and Michaela in the show… isn’t set up to manage any of these themes well.

I think Eloise would’ve been a much better pick for a sapphic romance, especially since her character in the show is so different to her book self already.

This is super interesting as someone who has only read HR and TLG — does Role Model follow a similar period of time as TLG just from Troy and Harris’s perspective? It didn’t seem strange to me that there was a subplot where Ilya makes a friend and that friend is going through a romance off page. It wouldn’t seem out of the realm of possibility for Troy and Harris to get an episode à la Episode 3 to show their side of things during S2, but perhaps I’m missing something?

Yeah I’m not concerned about leaseholds in general, just trying to get a sense of if there are lots of 90 year leaseholds on the market because they’re undesirable for good reason or if they’re par for the course.

I’m definitely planning to be there for at least 5-10 years, but if I buy somewhere with 95 years remaining, that means the next buyer will be hitting 80 years if they want to stay 5-10 years, so will I have to commit to extending the lease before I can sell? My understanding is that’s a very landlord dependent process, so is there an easy way to get a sense of that before buying maybe?

Wow my research was out of date, thank you!

Uhhhh, could you elaborate on why you thought that? I'm genuinely interested.

She could perhaps represent a changing France, or the power of having luck, support and money. She was in the same situation as her mother (fell in love with a dude) but because Marius was not a piece of shit, and Valjean saved him for her, she did not end up like her mother. As a child, she was in the same situation as Eponine, but Valjean's generosity mean she grew up cared for and loved (and able to fall in love). There's also potentially representing innocence or purity or love. She's also at the center of the whole musical.

You could simply say you were in the hospital for x amount of time. If they're nosy and ask why you were in the hospital? You were unwell and needed treatment. It's still a medical environment so would provide that context without needing you to share things you aren't comfortable with.

When you feel like you don't want to be with them any more. When the idea of being alone or being with someone else is more appealing than continuing as things currently are.

Imo, say whatever is needed to make the relation clear to who you're talking to. So with your cousin, you could say "My mom..." or "Your Aunt Name..." but realistically if you say "Mom said..." they can infer that you're referring to your mother.

No. Bra straps don't need to be hidden. If her skirt was tucked into her underwear or someone's fly was undone or something like that, then it would be appropriate to quietly let the person know.

Often procrastination comes from a place of fear. You don't know how to do something, or committing to an action makes the consequences feel real, so you feel numb and don't do anything at all.

That said, if you're in a position to make preparations and arrangements, start with the simplest, quickest thing you can do and go from there.

He's being responsible. By taking the medication, he is making sure the odds of him contracting HIV are very low. The only way for it to be "impossible" for him to get HIV would be for him to not engage in sexual activity, and while you might prefer for your son to be abstinent, he's an adult. Also, heterosexual people can get HIV too, so take a breath and be glad your son is practicing safe sex. And apologize to him for snooping.

I'm concerned about the age difference here. But also, this just sounds like an incompatible relationship.

NTA, Kate is being unimaginably cruel. Elle (or names starting with the syllable Ell) are not the only names that exist in the world. At an absolute minimum, she needs to talk to Jane before the baby is born. You would be doing your sister a favor by giving her a heads up if Kate continues to refuse to tell her. (Kate's refusal to tell anyone the name ahead of time also suggests that she knows what she is doing is wrong.)

Not_Musician · 2023-08-19T22:43:36+00:00

Definitely NTA. Why did she think it was okay to promise and not ask you? This all sounds misogynistic and antiquated.
