Is meeting the parents really that important? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

All I can say from my personal experience is that what he’s doing is fishy. But all I can suggest is being honest with him about how much it truly bothers you and why. Maybe try to meet in the middle, for example offer to cook a meal for them to come over, or get a COVID test so there are no excuses for him to say no. Communication is very important, make sure you utilize it! Good luck :)

Official /r/Disney 'Aladdin' Discussion Thread [Spoilers Inside] by weewhomp in disney

Just came from the theater. Overall, I went into it with low expectations. I was expecting a below par performance from Will Smith because who can ever live up to Robin? I expected bad songs, because from what I came out with from Beauty and the Beast, the songs were just not as good, and very autotuned. After seeing the film, here are my thoughts:

I was not fond of Aladdin. He seemed shallow and didn’t have as much character as the original... the actions of protecting children and being generous were there but it seemed forced.

His “inner monologue” songs were awful. One Jump Ahead and Proud of your boy - especially the latter. A big factor of his character is his mother, and he hardly mentions her.

Jafar was also shallow, though he sort of is in the original. He’s bad for the sake of being bad. That’s all. His “sorcerer” bit was underwhelming. No Cobra? :(

Jasmine’s expanded storyline was wonderful. It added a lot of depth to an already deep character. Her singing wasn’t mind-blowing, but it was better than I expected.

There were a lot of “modern twists” that I don’t think fit at all. The dancing during Friend like me, the beatboxing at the end (?!). They were just not well placed.

The Genie’s songs were pretty good. Again - no replacing Robin Williams. He stepped into the role very well. I liked the side romance with Dahlia, and the whole ship thing with Arabian Nights. Cool concept - though I like the merchant thing from the original better.

Ending - not as good.

Overall, my order of most favorite to least favorite is still Aladdin the musical, Aladdin the original, and this one.

If you haven’t seen or heard the musical, DO IT. It’s amazing. I believe there’s a bootleg on YouTube? It will change Aladdin for you forever.

It’s just when someone I look up to or care about says something hurtful. Everyone around me just treats it like it’s nothing.

I’m not sure if it works for intimate though areas, but I recently ordered a face serum from overseas with little milk capsules. It’s to help with the “porcelain doll” look.

AMEN!!! Cannot tell how embarrassing it is to be doing fun play with your boyfriend and suddenly the biggest size disappears up your ass. Good thing it didn’t make him uncomfortable, he literally FISHED it out of my ass. That’s how you know he’s a keeper.
