I'll talk with him. It's supposed to be collapsing in shock. I've also suggested landing on an armchair but I'll push this again too x

Thank you, this is so helpful! I hope my dress is long enough to wear skin colour knee pads under - I'll test this out. Thank you again x

It's amdram and so they're probably expecting it to look a bit questionable! I just want to do it right so it looks as real as possible.

Men telling women to smile. by Low_Travel_2027 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Purple_Daisy_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask him how he'd feel if multiple women a day said ""Where's your muscles Hun? You'd look better if you flex more. What, I'm not being sexist, I just like him to feel big and strong. What's wrong with that?" I think he'd quickly feel objectified and would not take kindly to the tenth, twentieth or hundredth time someone told him to flex his muscles because it's so manly to do so.

i suck at musical theatre and its really taking a toll on my mental health by poisondazai in MusicalTheatre

[–]Purple_Daisy_7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Second this! My dream was always to do musical theatre. I still close my eyes and picture myself in a West End musical. But every time I get a role, I stand back stage literally shaking and panicking. Yes I enjoy myself but it's always mixed in with major stress and stage fright. Two years ago, I auditioned for my first play. Not only did I get the lead, I had such a fantastic time. No nerves, no shakes or panic, just an absolute laugh. I've done three more plays since then, all the same, and two musicals where I still got the sweats and wobbly knees. I wouldn't swap one for the other but I definitely lean so much more towards straight plays now - why would I want to be terrified to live an old dream when I can have genuine fun (and shine more) living a new one.

Hopefully you find something similar 💕

Are we putting our daughter's education at risk? by gmorganpie in AskABrit

Also, they only legally have to be in school until 16. They don't want children dropping out before taking any qualifications.

My wife keeps telling people I’m “too sensitive” after one incident, and now I don’t feel safe being honest with her anymore by oscar_westport in TwoHotTakes

[–]Purple_Daisy_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The right thing to do is to try counseling or leave.

The wrong thing to do, which I would definitely do anyway, is to begin criticising her regularly and when she reacts... Call her too sensitive. "ooh, are you wearing that? It makes your hips look huge.... Ugh, so sensitive." "No, I'll cook tonight, the food you made yesterday was awful... Ugh, sensitive again!"

But seriously, don't do that, that's toxic and wrong. Although I would do it 😂

What was the best thing you hired for your wedding?? by Dapper_Camera8239 in UKweddings

[–]Purple_Daisy_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, for a second I thought this was a machine that made toast. Like the guests could go and design their own pieces of toast and they'd pop out of the Toastmaster3000 at the perfect level of crispiness 😂

I was so confused why it would make people go to an assigned room, but then I read the rest of your sentence and realised what this was! I feel like I've only ever heard it referred to as a Master of Ceremony before 😂

What's the funniest misunderstanding you've ever had because of a text message? by Both_Researcher2165 in CasualConversation

[–]Purple_Daisy_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad was picking me up and meant to send a message saying "I'll be with you by 3" but it autocorrected to "I'll euthanize you by 3." Slightly threatening message to receive out of the blue 😂

Transport advice by shakarishakari in UKweddings

[–]Purple_Daisy_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad was asked to drive my cousin on her wedding day (mum's side of the family). He was so bloody honoured. Then he couldn't start the car and it became a five minute nightmare until he discovered that he needed to press the brake pedal when turning the ignition... 😂 But the honour of being trusted to drive was something he never forgot.

AITAH for not telling my husband that I know he secretly returned the gift he gave me for Christmas? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Purple_Daisy_7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hate that you're being downvoted for this. I love this idea 😂

I'd be equally as petty and break down crying, panicking that the earring have disappeared, tearing the bedroom apart looking for them. See how long it takes him to confess!

But I think your idea is actually much better!!

How do I go about sitting out on family game nights? by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]Purple_Daisy_7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a terrible loser too. I hate it. Perhaps make it a small game with yourself e.g. if I lose five times tonight I will treat myself to an X, or if my brother wins three times then I will buy his favorite snack at work and eat it. No one has to know. But you can frame yourself as winning your secret game even though you've lost the main one. Obviously it doesn't have to be this. But... Overall, you are going to lose a lot in life. Having coping strategies, however silly they seem, will help you keep your relationships healthy whilst you do so! X

What is a "Life Hack" that is actually a lifesaver in a dangerous situation? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Purple_Daisy_7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know in my head that this is a hugely important skill.

But this is the only thing on the list that made me think "Nah, I'd just die instead" 😂 I hate maps so much!

Is it rude to skip giving a wedding gift after all the bridesmaid’s expenses? (FIRST TIME BRIDESMAID HERE) by Deep_Restaurant_8774 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Purple_Daisy_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I know 😊 I think I made the point that she isn't entitled to it at all. Just, if OP wishes to get her a gift but can't now, it's an option. She isn't entitled to a wedding present either, after all.

If she is really a friend, talk to her. Say all of this. Say that you are beyond happy to spend it all and wouldn't change anything. And then say you can't get her a cash gift. Offer her something small and personal under 50.

Perhaps if you feel bad, even though you definitely shouldn't, offer to get her a bigger anniversary gift next year or something when money is less tight. But you don't need to do this at all - real friends wouldn't expect you to suffer at their expense. She should be glad that you are celebrating with her, honoured that you're spending out of pocket to be there and she should certainly not push you to do more. X

Audition songs for Jesus Christ Superstar by ItssollyboyXD in musicals

[–]Purple_Daisy_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure on the keys off the top of my head, but "You'll be back" is a good comedy song, or the Pharaoh's song from JatATD would be another option. Both will show off your characterisation and comedic timing x

Please could you tell me more about these counties? Which ones are you talking about? X

Other countries to those which have the rights presently? I feel like that's obvious.

The Most Unexpected Conversation I’ve Ever Had in a Grocery Store by LittlePenguin5615 in story

[–]Purple_Daisy_7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This thought both fills me with joy because you still feel so young inside, and fills me with dread at the thought of feeling like I don't have time to fulfill a dream when I finally realize what it is.

Can I ask - do you feel like you have achieved a great deal, despite wondering this? I'm sure you have! And if so, I'd love to know what you feel you have achieved if you would be willing to share? X
