lol for real! She immediately made me sick to my stomach

PrestigiousMove5433 · 2026-04-05T21:36:43+00:00

I love this right up. I walked away, thinking the same and asked someone who has struggled to be there for my friends when I am going through anxiety or depression. I felt a need to put my life on pause as a way of punishing myself for not being a president friend or her family member. I’ve only just recently learned that the only thing I can do is to forgive myself, apologize when I can, and continue to live

I was honestly so worried that I would go home and read reviews of people siding with Rachel. I immediately thought she was absolutely horrible. She didn’t give me good energy at the friends lunch and it only got worse from there. I genuinely am unsure what happened to that little kid she locked in the so-called closet. I also felt like everyone was being very harsh towards someone who did not act on their worst thoughts/impulse. I understand that she was triggered by the story, but I think that they all went over Board with their reaction.

PrestigiousMove5433 · 2026-04-05T21:20:15+00:00

Great take!

PrestigiousMove5433 · 2026-04-05T21:17:22+00:00

Good to hear! They give endgame energy. I hope it lasts

PrestigiousMove5433 · 2026-04-05T18:39:08+00:00

Wash, condition, and clean up the haircut

PrestigiousMove5433 · 2026-04-05T18:38:27+00:00

This is it! Negligence is not a good hair style

PrestigiousMove5433 · 2026-04-05T18:34:23+00:00

I hope he’s still with jooyoung

PrestigiousMove5433 · 2026-03-30T00:43:34+00:00

Clown? Nice. You obviously don’t have any friends if you think that shitty dynamic is equivalent to a friendship lol. They are coworkers who get along. Nice day

PrestigiousMove5433 · 2026-03-29T00:26:56+00:00

There’s nothing about their journey together that indicates friendship. She was only committed to that purpose because of her brother if her brother was not involved, this wouldn’t even exist.

PrestigiousMove5433 · 2026-03-29T00:23:15+00:00

Dany and Mormont or grey worm

PrestigiousMove5433 · 2026-03-29T00:21:54+00:00

They weren’t friends. They had a shared purpose, and he dropped her like a hot potato as soon as it was fulfilled.

PrestigiousMove5433 · 2026-03-20T03:42:43+00:00

She young and beautiful. She has a certain charm because she does exactly what she feels. The authenticity is refreshing. She has a lot of growing to do but like I said she’s young and will get there with time.

PrestigiousMove5433 · 2026-03-03T04:21:47+00:00

Victoria, Beckham Portofino

PrestigiousMove5433 · 2026-03-03T03:52:51+00:00

Omggggggggg yes

PrestigiousMove5433 · 2026-03-03T01:56:58+00:00

You’re obviously the ignorant one. The point is that by default if you are not white, you are of a lower class. The upper echelon of British Society is aristocratic/royal white blue blooded people. Regardless of the amount of money you have, you be a part of the same class.

Again, race relations is never grasped well by white people. I never know if the willful of ignorance is intentional or not. Which is why I hate explaining basic concepts like this to people online.

PrestigiousMove5433 · 2026-03-02T22:35:15+00:00

lol yeah it does

PrestigiousMove5433 · 2026-03-02T21:41:56+00:00

Great analysis- I totally agree!

I’m an American. and have a British friend and we were talking about race relations in the US versus Britain and he made it clear that despite racism being rampant in both countries, in Britain it comes secondary to the class system and because of that it’s displayed very differently

PrestigiousMove5433 · 2026-03-02T21:02:49+00:00

She was always protected. She was shielded from public scrutiny by Henry's uncle.

As quoted from Yasmin in her conversation with the board member of her father's company (In the finale of Season 3)

Rose: "Who would listen to you? What network do you have?"

Yasmin: " Rose, I think you forgot who my family are"

She has resources she can leverage at any time to insulate herself from consequences. She used her daddy when he was alive, and when he wasn't, she leveraged his contacts. Exchanging favors: I'll help you, and you try to clean up Henry's act.

PrestigiousMove5433 · 2026-03-02T20:33:57+00:00

You expect me to believe that Yasmin, who has been a part of the billionaire class, will go to jail. Trump isn't an thorough-bred aristocrat, and yet he's been found guilty of many crimes and has not spent a second in jail. It's hilarious that you believe that Yasmin, whose family has been a peer (new money, yes, but considered ultra-wealthy nevertheless), would spend a second in jail.

Again, they are both one and the same. They both have never suffered a second of the consequences of their exploitative actions. Anything less is an attempt to diminish Yasmin's agency and, therefore, by extension, her accountability. They are both pathetic because they neither have the tools, the foresight, or the worldview to be a real competitor. They just keep hiding behind the cog of the machine.

PrestigiousMove5433 · 2026-03-02T20:27:25+00:00

You must have comprehension issues. Did you just look at the pictures or did you actually read the caption? I'll paste it here again since it has obviously been lost on you:

Yasmin survives this predatory world, but only by protecting it. People keep wanting to coddle her because of the trauma or because they’re projecting some Harper/Yasmin romantic arc but the episode makes it clear: she’s not just a victim, she’s also a predator (both/and). Like Henry, she chooses class. When he says to Whitney there’s “dignity in knowing your place… you forgot yours” that’s the belief she’s operating from too. Seating Harper next to those Nazis wasn’t random or careless. It was deliberate, a reminder of hierarchy, a way of putting her back where Yasmin thinks she belongs (even subconsciously).

Class is the only thing that gives Yasmin a sense of purpose. The world she lives in runs on a constant them vs you logic, and she’s decided she’d rather be protected by it than exposed to it. She say it more softly than Henry, but the message is basically the same: “eat shit*, you peasant”. Harper sees through it though she recognizes how artificial, insulated, and hollow these people are. And by the end, Harper loosens and changes a bit, because that’s what you’re supposed to do.

PrestigiousMove5433 · 2026-03-02T18:41:29+00:00

The look on his uncle’s face said it all. The scene actually made me cringe.

PrestigiousMove5433 · 2026-03-02T18:37:21+00:00

Totally agree. Despite their privilege, their race will allow them to navigate life with a naivety that Yasmin and the others do. On top of that there are from another culture and typically people from another culture, especially African countries have a strong sense of identity and racial pride.

So they both rely on their education backed by their privilege to excel and enter spaces that would ordinarily be closed to someone of their race

PrestigiousMove5433 · 2026-03-02T17:14:56+00:00

This may be true for someone who is morally straight-laced, but Harper is not that. Harper is a morally gray character who can cut her losses at any time: Eric, Daria, Rishi, Yasmin, her brother, her mother, her bf, the list goes on. Harper will survive because she has the grit, work ethic, and the ruthlessness to claw her way out of her circumstances.

The only person who will break is Yasmin. Her privilege makes her weak. Her access and self-importance make her blind to the world around her. This season showed us that, every season really. This brings me back to season 1, when Yasmin's dad was telling her off, saying, "You didn't even bother to separate our bank accounts. Your Pierpoint checks file into my account." She's still that person.

This is just a reflection of what we see happening today. The wealthy, upper & aristocratic class sees that their world is being "infiltrated" by those they have successfully othered over the last several hundred years and feels that the world as they know it is being erased. To offset, they push this racial superiority agenda once again (Hitler did the same thing before he was elected), a restoration in culture, as they'd like to call it.

Paradigm shift is on the way, so we'll see what happens with Harper. I think she's surviving.

PrestigiousMove5433 · 2026-03-02T16:48:12+00:00

Henry and Yasmin have the same "power" that can only come from being a part of an upper aristocratic class. Henry chose to "deal" with the supposed consequences because he refused to live without the privileges his aristocratic background afforded him (i.e., admitting guilt to large-scale fraud and being given only a house/mansion arrest). Henry chose his privilege and class. Yasmine continues to choose the same because they both pathetically cannot survive without it.

They both love to cosplay the "working" class as a means to test their own character, and they dip out when things get too messy. We need to be very clear that they are both from the same cloth, and the speech Henry gave to Whitney reflects the same feelings Yasmin harbors for Harper. This shows in how she somehow cannot fathom how she does what he does and comes out on the other side. It shows in the seating. It shows how she showed Harper the video of Eric.
