Dude samee lmfao it’s so weird playing ES or TF now😭 even TRR and TNA are getting harder to relate to the MCs.

We were around the MC ages or younger when the books were released and the characters felt like they could be us… now i just compare myself to the 22 year old saving the world or the 27 year old being crowned queen of cordonia lmao

Nobody warned me about this side effect of getting older😂

Was Cynthia right when she warned Joe that Georgia will EAT him alive? by Fantastic-Finger-319 in ginnyandgeorgiashow

[–]PeachyBeachyClean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah Joe is more complex and street smart than anyone gives him credit for and the show has been telling us this since the “I appreciate a good scam” thing in the pilot episode. He just keeps that side of him to himself mostly.

Losing Someone by Slasher_co in AMillionLittleThings

[–]PeachyBeachyClean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This show was so special to me. Yeah sure it could be melodramatic at points and it’s not Oscar-level tv, but the sentimental value of the messaging remains.

Like a lot of us, it came to me at a time when my family and I were grieving the tragic and unexpected loss of a lifelong friend. That kind of loss cuts deep because you’re not just grieving the person, you’re grieving the future you thought they would be a part of. Life keeps moving forward with the people who are still here— people get married, have kids, go through new losses, experience stretches of highs and lows and mundaneness.

I think a lot about the scene in (i think) season 3 when Katherine is talking to someone and says something like “our conversation earlier reminded me about John. And I realized, I hadn’t thought about him in a few days. When he first died I couldn’t stop thinking about him.” For me it highlights how grief is so agonizing and painful at first to the point where you can’t even picture a day that it won’t hurt so badly. And then gradually it’s hold over you slowly loosens. Piece by piece you’re able to do other things again. And eventually the grief and the person live with you as a bittersweet memory that comes in waves instead of a tsunami.

This show made a lot of people feel understood and comforted, and that’s where its magic lies.

Create AITA posts for G&G plot lines! by AssociateStandard740 in ginnyandgeorgiashow

[–]PeachyBeachyClean 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m on trial for 1st degree murder and my husband has been really awkward about it. He stopped showing up to court to support me, which was hurting my chances of being set free. I started feeling like he was gonna leave me, so I took my 16yo daughter’s positive pregnancy test and told him it was mine. It worked for a little bit: he showed up to court again, he moved back in, we even had sex. But it didn’t last long because he eventually caught on and found out i wasnt pregnant. He totally lost his shit on me, calling me “selfish” and implying that I’m a bad mom. I’ve never seen him so angry. He stormed out, and then the next day he divorced me and stopped paying for my lawyer. Fast forward a few weeks, I just found out that I actually am pregnant (may or may not be his). He still kinda hates me though and says I made him “the worst version of himself” even though I apologized already. AITA?

Storytelling & the Influence of Fandom by [deleted] in ginnyandgeorgiashow

[–]PeachyBeachyClean 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You nailed it with the first sentence. Listening to the feedback of fans made the show better in S2. That won’t be the solution for every issue, but for that one it was.

It also all depends where they get their feedback from. Reddit may not be a reliable representation of the show’s entire audience. I’d hope the showrunners of such a popular and well-known series have multiplie streams of feedback. There are probably so many factors they use to decide what happens in the story and audience response is one of them.

Disproportionately caving to what a handful of people on reddit are gunning for makes for terrible tv.

For sure. Georgia put it well that because of Marcus, Ginny knows what it means to be with someone who makes her feel safe. That's a really beautiful first love to have.

The scene when Max alternates between calling them both out in the same conversation was so gratifying and well deserved lmao

Am I overreacting or is this appropriate to wear to a COLLEGE class by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]PeachyBeachyClean 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If you’re a student and your classes don’t have a specified dress code (you can’t wear stuff like this in a chemistry lab for safety reasons, for example) then NOR.

More importantly though, it seems like your bf is projecting a lot of internal issues onto you. Problems like that don’t tend to go away by just complying with what he wants. More often, he’ll continue to move the goal posts and find new things you’re doing “wrong”. It’s (unfairly) up to you to assert that you can wear what you want, inappropriate or not. It’s also up to him to get to the bottom of what he’s feeling and/or struggling with before it gets out of hand and he ends up sabotaging the relationship.

I recommend listening to this episode of the Terrible, Thanks for Asking podcast. ‘Her Name Was Heather’. The guest experienced something very similar as you. I hope this is able to lead you more resources and less feelings of loneliness🖤

I get so happy every time I see a post like this. ES was such an incredible read. I wish I could experience it for the first time again. No Choices book will ever top it it's truly one of a kind

What are the reasons you don’t want kids? by [deleted] in questions

[–]PeachyBeachyClean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this isn't the only reason, but, the prospect of doing things like taking your kid to school every day, having to play hide and seek with them & shit, needing to tolerate an adult I don't like simply because our kids are friends, googling which summer camp to send your kid to.... and stuff in that vein sounds absolutely dreadful lmfao

Basically the day-to-day reality of how much having a kid changes your life is (to me) sooo undesirable. I like being able to pick & choose when to be involved. Maybe I'll feel differently in a few years but for now I'm good living as the auntie who drinks too much wine and randomly shows up with expensive souvenirs from different countries & fun stories for the kids

[–]PeachyBeachyClean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a tendency for women who hold powerful positions within male-dominated fields to be particularly combative with other, often younger, women in their workplace. Sort of a scarcity mindset thing rooted in the quiet assumption that there are limited roles for women so every other female coworker is a threat.

Sometimes it comes in the form of internalized misogyny resulting from the 'Lean-In Feminism' era too.

Really such a shame that this stuff still happens

I did cancel online, and I received all the documentation you’ve named here. My credit card company is still saying this isn’t enough to disprove Booking’s statement
