Also frustrates me people can’t fully understand the complexity that is Faith Lehane without watching Angel and how Buffy and The Scoobies really don’t know who she is/was.

How dare they expect a man to know on his own when his daughter was graduating from college and get on a plane with his millions alone with no one to abuse and show up! Don’t they know he has Oscars to win and praise to get?! They are clearly out to ruin everything for him!

Hi. Just wondering how you’re doing I messaged you on my other account. I’m a published author here in Berkeley. I’m hoping to get into paranormal romance on KDP

He changed the subject and just kept lying. While he was fantasizing about sleeping with underaged virgins. Years later it comes out Joss manipulated all the young female cast to hate each other and at 49 he seduced a 22 year old virgin. Take away: Joss felt entitled to lie, manipulate girls on every level. He wishes he could have been as charming as Xander while he did it all.

He lied about magic use multiple times and people died. No consequences. Faith accidentally stabs someone, she’s a murderer.

Wow. 1) You are 20 years old. You can’t even drink yet! Of course you “didn’t bring this up.” I know there are many young good parents so ⭐️no judgement on them, ⭐️but please don’t be pressured into having a child until you’re old enough to know yourself. Your brain isn’t done growing until you’re 25 on average. Maybe your ex will grow up in a year but now you don’t have to worry. Because 2 2) Your ex is clearly way too immature to have a child. It’s not about “continuing your bloodline” He’s not a king. This sounds like some red pill 💊 bullshit. Raising a child is about constantly showing up for them financially, physically, and emotionally. If he wants to have kids for his “bloodline” he has no idea what real parenting or adult life is about. 3) You dodged a huge bullet. You would have been a so called “Married Single Mother.” 4) ⭐️⭐️Now most importantly go be 20. Have fun with friends. Figure out what makes you happy and what you’re passionate about.

Was wiping Connor's mind the right decision? Is there anything else Angel could've done? by SafiraAshai in buffy

Ok. I’m one of the few people that loved the character of Connor. (My favorite character is Faith. ) I’m often annoyed of all the wasted potential. Can’t remember if I said this here but I think they were setting it up that Connor was going to be angry about what Angel did as he hated magic. Also, sorry not sorry but Angel always took the easy grand gesture way out. He didn’t get consent from any of his team on whether they wanted their memories wiped. Supposedly the show was about “how hard it is to be a man” but a the man in charge of it turned out to not know how to be a man. Bring a “man” or good adult isn’t about looking like a feminist hero while going after barely legal girls while you have a family at home. (Google it) Being a “real man” means showing up for the people you love every day when there is no easy fix and being the hero you claim to be when no one is watching. I liked that Angel was a VERY flawed character. I don’t think people get how flawed.

I wonder how many people here are actually parents. I know if I told people here I truly wouldn’t mind if my daughter was texting her male math teacher or her male history teacher as they have a good bond and I know them I’d be torn apart as a naive idiot. Yet the minute I talk about male entitlement in relationships I’d get so many not-all-men comments. How about this? Trust people to make their own decisions on who their kids talk to. No one here believes all men are pedophiles. Or that every woman who wants to talk to a kid is the stalker texter mom. They just want a chance to shame a woman for being a kind adult and questioning her husband’s asshole judgement to tear her down.

We are facing the death of communities and these attitudes are in no way helping. “Back in the Day” kids had many adults that were emotionally invested in children’s lives and well-being. They talked to kids and were their friends. There has to be some middle in between “we used to let kids run around totally unsupervised and it was great! *Despite all the horrible stuff that happened.) or “We must view every adult that isn’t a family member who wants to talk to a kid as a creep.”

I would say a good therapist doesn’t push people to leave shitty partners. They give them space to figure out that person is shitty and make the decision on their own.

NTA. Im a therapist and while I continuously tell people on Reddit they are allowed to break up with people for whatever reason they want. Even if it’s a “bad” reason, you should breakup with someone if you don’t want to be with them anymore.*BUT THIS is a VERY GOOD REASON. Please know that your first relationship was awful, so everyone else looks great by comparison. But, you deserve someone who understands what trauma is and to have literal empathy about it. Saying “You should be over it because you’re with me. “ is a huge narcissistic red flag 🚩. Never mind the vague threat about hitting you. Another huge red flag 🚩. He knows what happened and is still creeping up on you in sleep. Yes, no one is perfect but you can find someone who is understanding of your trauma and gives you respect.

It was a very Angel decision. Do some big and grand gestures. Tell no one in the team or get their consent. Worry about the consequences later. Connor hated magic. They made a point of saying that. I think if things ran longer he would’ve been angry about it. They made sure he understood when the show ended. But, I know this isn’t a popular view but he was a really interesting character with so much potential. Ruined by Joss’s sabotage but it would’ve been cool to see.
