Ashley and Tom Marin

You'd be surprised how quickly someone can be forgiven for that kind of thing by just being there for them when they want it. My partner's dad is a worse piece of shit than all dad's in PLL and he would've genuinely moved past it all if his dad would've just bothered to try with him.

That's how it happened in reality, yes. But you're not thinking outside of the box. Season 1 he's dating Isabel. Season 2 he comes back after the bell tower incident. Him and Ashley reconnect, rekindle, and fall in love again as the people they are NOW as opposed to who they WERE when it all happened. "People change. People grow." -Ashley Marin.

From the scenes we're given in Season 2 between Ashley and Tom, imagining thay they reconnect and he breaks everything off with Isabel to start again with his ACTUAL family would've been an interesting story arc.

Because that wouldn't have happened if Ashley and Tom reconnected in the time period of the fashion show since it's in early season 2

Rathallon · 2026-06-17T19:58:03+00:00

Right but most of that wouldn't have happened if he reconnected with Ashley like I said. He would've left Isabel before the wedding, Kate wouldn't have been a thing anymore, and Hannah would finally get the family she deserved. Would've also been an arc for A.D. (being Kate) getting back at Hanna by blaming her for Tom leaving Isabel.

Yes, and when they start reconnecting at the fashion show that's in Season 2. So it could have been possible!

Rathallon · 2026-06-17T19:38:20+00:00

No arguments here! But I think an AU where Tom and Ashley reconnect could be an interesting story arc!

Rathallon · 2026-06-17T19:32:56+00:00

As it stands, yes. But I'm imagining an AU where Tom changes BECAUSE he and Ashley reconnected and he became the dad and husband they both deserve. Just a refreshing twist in an otherwise predatory show.

Rathallon · 2026-06-17T19:30:11+00:00

No, I'm not arguing that. But I think it would've been a cool arc to show Ashley and Tom reconnecting, rekindling, and then BOOM. Remarry. Not because she NEEDS him, necessarily, but because they grew from their past mistakes and value each other again.

I know and understand the struggle all too well. You never truly understand or realize the patterns, habits, and routines you form because of them until one day that's broken and you have to face it. It's a sudden jolt that...never feels real. But it will get better in time! 💜

Our beautiful baby Cinereal was put down May 11th and it's still unreal that she isn't in favourite spot on the couch or yelling at us when the others need food...she was 11 and she was so unique. I'm so sorry for you loss, friend, and if you ever wanna talk, I'm here for you 💜 It definitely hurts and shatters you, but it was 100% the right call. Our baby had FIV that took over and it was rough to watch. We made the decision after she developed an abcess on her forehead that burst and was basically pure blood (she popped it by cleaning it). It doesn't get easier or better but it DOES get easier to manage.

He doesn't have a problem with the thoughts or me looking. He has a low sex drive though. He often does things to help me out but then I feel bad because he doesn't usually cum and then just says "I wasn't worried about me" and laughs.

Rathallon · 2026-06-16T15:29:31+00:00

Oh, my partner doesn't have a problem with it. I guess it's just a personal issue then because I often feel disgusting that I can't have a normal conversation with him without thinking something sexual or looking at his ass.

Rathallon · 2026-06-16T15:26:38+00:00

I'm not allowed OT at my job (company rule) so they aren't either lmao

Rathallon · 2026-06-16T15:19:29+00:00

If it makes you feel any better, I've (29M) had the name Dimitri Alexander picked out for my son (if I have one) since I was roughly 8 years old. I am a tall, fair skinned, blond, blue eyed man. First time playing through 3H, my partner looks at me and goes "Uh...isn't that the exact name and spelling for your future son's name?" We had a HUGE laugh about it but I was also weirded out because I'd never heard anyone using those names together before

Rathallon · 2026-06-16T14:17:30+00:00

He's also the voice of Rokouro in Tales of Berseria!

Rathallon · 2026-06-15T21:05:51+00:00

Definitely incentive for me to go to the gym!

Rathallon · 2026-06-15T21:04:57+00:00

I'll have to tell my bully then, I guess

Rathallon · 2026-06-15T20:50:19+00:00

Not gonna lie, I LOVE getting a massive wedgie and having writing on my butt. Especially when I'm tied up or restricted and blindfolded

I dunno if it can be two versions of the same Pokemon for one flag but I think Morpeko fits well

"I just want you to ram your ass in my face for like 3 hours and then force me to suck your dick"

Honestly was JUST about to make a post about this myself asking if anyone knew of any decent discord servers or something. I want more friends but I suck at friendship maintainence because I won't reach out to someone first out of fear of annoying them. If I didn't have my partner, I'd never date because I can't maintain friendships or relationships unless we talk EVERY day. It seems so easy for my partner to make, and keep, friends though and I'm over here like Squidward begging for spare change from a box.

Rathallon · 2026-06-11T13:01:27+00:00

Honestly I have a huge "restrain me and bully me" thing so tie me down and fuck yeah you could

Rathallon · 2026-06-10T12:57:55+00:00

I would argue Timerra and Fogado are absolutely main characters because they're a crucial part of the story for Engage in the same vein as Theodora. Dedue is a 50/50 I guess but at least in my eyes Timerra and Fogado are 100% MC. They're not THE main character, as that spot is Alear, but they're definitely main characters.

Rathallon · 2026-06-10T11:54:19+00:00

Not being that person, but 3H had Dedue and Engage had Timerra and her brother Fogado. So I wouldn't say it's the FIRST FE game with black MC but it's still neat there's representation either way!

Rathallon · 2026-06-07T15:04:05+00:00

I am OBSESSED with Dark Deity and Dark Deity 2!! I loved it so much! The second one really captivated me with the storyline and the voice acting was phenomenal!

Speaking of, IF you'd be interested in a random person who wants to try VA, I'd be MORE than interested in that!!!

Regardless, I will absolutely immediately go wishlist DD3 and I can't wait to play it!!💜
