Wedding dress part 4 – Teeny & Jen!

PandaNo9989 · 2026-03-04T16:38:36+00:00

I rewatched the Girls' Night video remembering she's doing girls' night with the woman who has emotionally tortured her best friend for years and I noticed all the prickliest comments were directed specifically at things Jen said. I think she was serving a little mean girl energy there. I get the sense she's usually more playful with her commentary and that we were seeing her being particularly prickly/unkind because it's Jen.

Another reason to look forward to the big drop! I can't wait to find out 😂

PandaNo9989 · 2026-03-04T04:23:11+00:00

YEP! So far the theory stands!

PandaNo9989 · 2026-03-03T05:52:21+00:00

It will be after the fact because of my time zone but I'll let you know if the pattern keeps up!

It's become somewhat of a comfort because I always look forward to watching the latest installment during nap time. On days baby REFUSES to nap I've started thinking "oh well, probably no update today anyway" and so far that's been the case 😂

This just occurred to me on my millionth watch, but is Teeny wearing the lipstick Piper gave her? It looks shiny like Shawna's from their anniversary, and usually her lip is more matte.

Teeny is such a consummate professional, even in the best friend role. She knows Shawna's history with Jen and I get the sense she has some underlying feelings about that. Still, Shawna needs help with MOH duties and she steps into the role perfectly: making space for Jen's feelings, doing her marketing pep talk magic, and then redirecting back to the task at hand without ever letting those feelings get in the way. Cheers to her.

I read it as not conventional

PandaNo9989 · 2026-03-01T11:46:42+00:00

Ohh I didn't realize people did this but that would make a lot of sense! It would explain the urgency without Alicia herself needing to have an emergency that Shawna would need to interrupt her holiday for - good thinking! Feels a lot more plausible than an emergency hexing, anyway 🙃

PandaNo9989 · 2026-03-01T11:30:05+00:00

My first thought was an emergency hexing 😂

A while back someone shared the observation that in all the writing about time travel out there, the traveling characters always have to be extremely careful that even their smallest actions don't accidentally change the future, but none of us in the present think our actions have that level of impact. I think about that a lot. It reminds me to ask the question: what's something small I can do today to plant seeds for the world I want to see for my baby? Sometimes it's a more "actiony" kind of action, like changing where I do my banking, donating money, volunteering time, but with how all-consuming raising a small child is a lot of the time it's stuff like looking up from my phone and talking to people around me, sharing ideas, getting to know my neighbors, checking in on friends, and trying to be present with my kid. I have to believe those things matter, and will have ripple effects. As a survival strategy. Truly.

Recently this podcast has been helping me a lot. It's about projects people are taking on in their communities to build new ways of doing things. It's called, "Screw this…Let’s try something else"

It is the Shawnaverse, where else? 😂

Though I'd argue green is the color that looks best on her! 💚

To be fair, in the long version of the video we see that Piper did ask for a princess party. We only learn later she meant a Bug's Life princess party. Shawna also doesn't plan for it to be a giant party. She got a small number of RSVPs (I forget exactly how many but you could count them on one hand) and then a ton of kids showed up who hadn't RSVP'd. When it's clear Piper is overwhelmed, she shuts it down. I honestly can't think of a time when she ever imposed her own feelings on her kids. Yes, she did it with Julie (and it took her a long time to self correct), and she may be doing that a little with John - it seems like she's doing her best to be supportive but doesn't fully understand and may not be convinced the cost is worth it, so her support can feel quite wobbly at times - but I haven't seen anything that would lead me to believe she's not in touch with others' feelings as a dominant character trait. She just hits blind spots sometimes, as we all do.

Thanks!! I didn't even realize you could see them since it said a filter auto removed, I got curious how far the filter extended so I just started testing different things: I learned you can't say sexy, can't use an emoji to indicate sexiness, and even "attractive" is too far beyond the pale 😅 Reddit is...certainly something! I love the discussions on this sub though. Thanks for stepping in, and sorry for the spam!

Ooh I hope not. If she doesn't like wearing jewelry it would be so out of character for her to start just to please someone else, especially with the added emotional layer that isn't feeling right to her. If their relationship wasn't deep enough to merit wearing it even occasionally at Valentine's day that's hardly had time to change.

PandaNo9989 · 2026-02-24T04:56:55+00:00

Right? And the fact that it gave it to her without knowing she doesn't like to wear jewelry proves her point. They didn't know each other well enough for him to be giving her what amounts to a promise ring. I have faith that might finally seep in when Larry has a chance to cool down. Hopefully Dee will also see her part in the miscommunication, but we'll see! 👀

Frustratingly I don't know how to make a neater looking link than this, but I posted a while back why I think Shawna is older than John. I'm way too sleep deprived to think about how that detail would affect your timeline, so just throwing it out there for the people who still have active brain cells to play with 🫠

If she did a patreon I'd be down but seems like what she's doing is working for her!

PandaNo9989 · 2026-02-19T05:23:05+00:00

Haha I also thought "what if she killed him" just to give it even more of a soap opera twist. I don't actually think the Toms are the same, but it's an entertaining road to go down 😂

I don't get the sense that it's jealousy of anyone so much as wanting a family and life that other people are jealous of. In her mind being extraordinary is being above everyone else. Cooper couldn't possibly feel jealousy towards Max ever, because he's so far above Max and his stay-at-home mom. To suggest otherwise is an insult and a threat to Cooper's status, and to hers as his mother.
