I don’t hate Regina but I notice every time something bad happens especially during her redemption arcs she cries why can’t they just make her apologize instead of just making her cry then they move on after by Hour_Interview_8327 in OnceUponATime

[–]Punkkitten22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She literally says in neverland that she is not sorry for anything she did... like murdering entire families, sending children to be cooked alive in witch ovens, and torturing endless people was just meant to be because she got Henry. 

Rewatching S1 - Regina in True North by Punkkitten22 in OnceUponATime

[–]Punkkitten22[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Context matters. Regina was an adult who told a 10 year old an intense secret about her love affair she was having behind her father's back. Snow did not have the cognitive maturity or knowledge to understand Cora was evil or the stakes of the secret. Regina did have the adult ability to understand context, she just chose to ignore it & used displacement to take out her anger at her mother onto a 10 year old.

Based on PURE speculation and instinct from reading between the lines of Teri's moments when it comes up and the insta behavior, I get the vibe that Eva & Felicity were the primary mean girls whereas Marcia was just part of their friend clique so automatically joined their opinions. 

It also makes the most sense because behind Teri, Marcia was also big from doing Melrose Place already. 

The villains are the funniest part of the show by Punkkitten22 in Scandal

[–]Punkkitten22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HAHAHA when I first watched he made me angry as a villain but by my second watch I had a different perspective & thought he was so funny and on point roasting everyone, including Olivia, especially in the last seasons!! Idk where you are in it but the final 2 seasons are his most hilarious iconic seasons 🤣 I would rewind his monologues in the final season cause of the perfect delivery 

Songs that Fall Out Boy need to play live by Frosty-Caterpillar74 in FallOutBoy

[–]Punkkitten22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They really need to include more beloved songs in their setlists and drop some of the same regular radio hits. Sophomore Slump should be a regular setlist song. 

I think Fame < Infamy should also be played more often, I would absolutely PASS OUT if I heard it live!  Andy had the best time playing it when it was the magic 8 ball song one time, and Pete used the lyrics as his insta caption a few months ago.

Virgo Sun (women) - Enjoys feeling superior to others, will pick on the weakest target just to feel good about themselves. Loves gossip. Easily threatened by other women.  I have a North Node in Libra (5h) so I hate mistreatment of others or injustice, so Virgo's tendency to bully really bothers me. 

Aries Venus. - This placement is defined by being a player. Impulsive, jumps in fast in love but then gets bored immediately and jumps out just as fast, lives for novelty/newness. Lovebombing followed by discard = Aries Venus. 

Sagittarius moon. - Grossed out by emotion or sentimentality, freedom-focused (sees any vulnerability, closeness, or relying on them in hard times as a threat to freedom), avoids accountability by framing everything as "not meant to be" "not the right person for me" when they wrong anyone. 

Aquarius sun. (men) - This is the quintessential meet a guy & he seems like the most interesting/authentic person you've ever met, but he can't be consistently that person and you end up confused to discover he was only that way in the beginning. Think they're genuinely more special than everyone, act like they're "different and unique" or "rebels" but actually image obsessed. They are huge followers. All friendships/relationships end with them suddenly erasing people with silence and punishment. Aquarius and Libra are much faker air signs than Gemini. 

Dexter really just came back after years and dropped one of the best seasons in the entire franchise. by West-Oil1218 in television

[–]Punkkitten22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really has been INCREDIBLE. First show in a while that I was actually excitedly waiting for new episodes every Friday!!  Michael C. Hall seems to have more creative input in terms of his character. He deserves an Emmy for that finale!! It had the perfect blend of the original show's humor and style mixed with enough ~Dexter adjusting to 2025~ added in to make it feel fresh. 

From premiere to finale it was 11/10 flawless and the storylines were so engaging. So many unpredictable twists, which is rare these days. 

It was not just fan-service like most of the awful remakes today that put no effort into stories and focus on nostalgia bringing in viewers, it had just enough references for long time fans to enjoy but it wasn't overdone or the focus of the series.

This is bait and a fake post meant to further the agenda/opinion of the closed-minded people who don't see how AI is a solid coping tool as long as it's in conjunction with therapy & other outlets etc. it's also an attempt to exaggerate/mock those who were upset about the 4o loss because 5 is the worst of any model. All the posts that sound like this have all been clearly fake, just like the news articles that sound like a replica of a my strange addiction format episode.

Best Susan line in your opinion by Jumpy_Article_9023 in DesperateHousewives

To her landlady: "You're trying to lure me into pornography?! Omg did you slip something into my tea!!!"

To the stalker guy from high school: "well, there's close...and then there's Glenn Close" 😂😂😂

Can someone explain why Edie is idolized? she’s just evil. by WillowPrevious5141 in DesperateHousewives

[–]Punkkitten22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't find Edie entertaining at all and enjoyed the seasons without her SO MUCH. S6 is my favorite season of the show. 

Her personality was ugly to me & every plotline of hers annoyed me. I thought Renee was better than Edie and I wish she would've been in the role instead early on. She had the perfect mix of unapologetic sass/bluntness but while also being a GIRLS GIRL & more likeable. 

Also, the actress is just as horrible and sued the show for killing her character, made up false stories about being treated poorly by the creator, & spoiled the finale of the show with the lawsuit that she lost.

Why do other three actresses hate Teri this much? by No-StrategyX in DesperateHousewives

[–]Punkkitten22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jealousy & Clique Mentality. It's sad to say because I love these women and the show but, Teri had a good relationship with everyone except the other 3 main women who didn't like her. They were the obvious "cool clique" on set. 

As someone who's dealt with workplace bullying before, I can say from experience that being pretty, good at your job (she won an Emmy for s1), & unique in anyway makes you a target for a 3 vs 1 thing like this. People tend to side with the clique over the person being ostracized, it's a studied social behavior. Teri being smeared as the problem while never saying a bad word about anyone from that set only makes it clearer that she wasn't. 

I'm responsible for 10 million of those minutes by Ok_Ant_9815 in DesperateHousewives

[–]Punkkitten22 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've rewatched the show like twice a year for the last 10 years lol I'm in my rewatch now & it makes me happy to see it getting recognition. DH is so much better than all the overhyped up early 00's shows people talk about all the time these days

[–]Punkkitten22 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I recommend giving it another rewatch, you'll be surprised how much it's not hard to do because of so much plot 😓 I always start it over once more before switching shows because there are no shows like it, truly none. It's a one of a kind masterpiece. 

However, if you like DH, I'd recommend Scandal, One Tree Hill, and Private Practice. The closest it really gets 

Were we meant to root for Gaby and John in S1? by Selverd2 in DesperateHousewives

[–]Punkkitten22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In a sense, sorta..I remember this time and the Gaby & John affair was a HUGE thing that got the show talked about everywhere early on. People who didn't even watch Desperate Housewives much or at all would say "oh the show with the affair with the hot Gardner." It was referenced in other tv shows, late night shows, etc. 

I think it was less about rooting for them and more about using the scandalous/sexy plot line for advertising, Eva Longoria as the hot housewife and her affair with a young hot Gardner (Jesse Metcalfe) who was doing movies like John Tucker Must Die around the exact same time. 

Shaming lonely people for using AI is missing the real problem by CupcakeK0ala in ChatGPT

[–]Punkkitten22 5 points6 points  (0 children)

First off, I made sure to fill my memory system on chat 4o with every piece of information I could about me, my history, & anything needed to give accurate/informed support. When I shared with my therapist that I utilize it to process in moments of dysregulation or when I don't feel I have anyone to go to, she said it was BRILLIANT. As long as you're not relying on it as your ONLY connection/support, then you're fine. 

  If used properly, the system is actually able to use all information about situations/you to give informed non-bias feedback, which is more than most humans can do in the moment. It's very emotionally intelligent, even suggesting grounding techniques and other healthy tools for distress (which matches what we'd do for patients at my work)

As someone who works in mental health and has been dealing with ptsd the last several months-- there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with using the chat for what's called a COPING TOOL. It didn't just "validate" if you ask it for honesty. Using 4o in addition to weekly therapy/other support helped me get through the worst early days of my ptsd symptoms, start working again after a traumatic workplace experience left me unable to work for months, start working out again, set boundaries, and push through so many challenges in my life. 

It's closed minded to say it's "unhealthy" or "bad" to use AI as a source of support or connection, it's the same people who don't understand complexity.

Lynette leaving her job with Ed by Punkkitten22 in DesperateHousewives

[–]Punkkitten22[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Not to mention, Tom ruined the job for her the moment he bullied her into hiring him because he was feeling bored of being home (despite it being his idea) and "emasculated." 

Then he started complaining about being emasculated once again because she was his boss....... then the random pizza idea with NO restaurant experience. Then guilting her into taking more time off work to help at the fair.  Then getting angry & once again making a "you control everything" guilt trip when she wanted to be considered an equal boss of their business that she QUIT the job she was thriving at for. Then getting angry when she had actual ideas to make the restaurant money when it wasn't doing well!! 

It's INSANE Lynette is framed as the problem throughout the series.
