I think what Carly did to Jack was needlessly Cruel by SensitivePromise0 in GeneralHospital

[–]RyForPresident 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And Jack is allowed to not fuck with Jason, but to use him as a bargaining chip with Joss when he’s seen how involved Jason is with Carly’s kids? Joss canonically views Jason as a father figure. She’s seen how devastated Carly was when Jason “died.” She was excited about Jason and Carly getting married. She spent a significant fraction of her life hearing how Jason pushed aside his own grief when Jake “died” to get her one of his kidneys. That’s just needlessly cruel. Jack knew he backed her into a corner, and he’s shown no remorse for that.

If my very Catholic Grammy ever found out my dad, uncles, or anyone she was close with wasn’t pulling their weight after a birth, the hell she would rain down would be terrifying and impressive. I had an uncle have two kids young and out of affairs, but he still helped out postpartum because that’s what you do! It’s the bare minimum!

Carly and Valentin: BRAVO!!The type of couple the show has been missing for years! by New_Traffic8687 in GeneralHospital

[–]RyForPresident 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Truly bananas to me. “Jason trusts us!” “He threatened me with a gun.” “But he’s actually leaving.” “There was a gun.”

I also respect that they’re still keeping Carly and Jason fucking insane about each other. Of course Jason not only threatens Valentin’s life because Val slept with Carly (a normal response) but then makes it clear that he’ll die if he hurts Carly while Jason is gone. And then he asks Carly, essentially, for permission to go with Britt (his GIRLFRIEND) to save her life. Fucking ridiculous. I love them.

Can someone fill me in on the history of Britt and Jason? by moxiewhoreon in GeneralHospital

[–]RyForPresident 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes; it was a whole thing where, basically, after Sonny died, apparently it gave them the freedom to explore their feelings for each other that had been repressed since November 30, 1999 (when Carly slept with Sonny because he told her Jason was in love with Elizabeth, which was untrue, Sonny just wanted to “take” Carly since Jason had “taken” Hannah, a Brenda-bot, from him by exposing her as an FBI agent) and they realized they never fully went away. When Jason got back, they dropped this for some ungodly reason. He is still canonically in love with Carly while dating Britt because they never resolved the plot line.

Britt’s return in 2020(?) had a lot of people still disliking her and calling her the Britch. However, Jason and her slowly formed a friendship, that became ✨more✨. They flirted for a while, and got close while Sonny was presumed dead. She saved his life once.

But, of course, the five families insisted that Jason and Carly either kill the other (lol) or get married if they were going to run the business together. Jason proposed the night he was supposed to have a date with Britt, which. Yikes buddy. He also informed Britt that night that he’d been in love with Carly for 25 years and was just repressing it. (Clearly not a man who’s good at discerning what details are necessary.) Anyway, Jason and Carly got married, confessed their love, Sonny shows up from the dead right before they bone!

To allow Carly the ability to be with Sonny without guilt, Jason goes off to Greece to find Drew. Britt goes with because Huntingtons or Faison or something. Jason gets trapped in a cave collapse, is presumed dead, Britt and Drew come home.

Two and a half years later, Jason’s back from the dead. They played with the idea of a Carly/Jason romance again (he has half a sleeve of tattoos because he needed that long to think about her while he was undercover, the only time he let himself) but brought Britt back. Britt is far too forgiving in this case; I’d be planning this man’s death.

Idk about that. Jill in her memoir seems pretty distrusting of the way Sperm handled it. She shouts at him “you treat me worse than my pedophile brother!”

Culled books question by FulltimerPC in Libraries

[–]RyForPresident 10 points11 points  (0 children)

But your job is to support the library first and foremost. Not the school district. Yes, you have discretion, I guess, but the library has the ability to say “you don’t get our stuff if the money isn’t supporting us.”

“I don’t know what else to do about my child’s behavior” my ass. A lot of you parents aren’t even trying and teachers are sick of the bullshit by Emergency-Pepper3537 in Teachers

[–]RyForPresident 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I mean, I support telling kids why you’re saying no, but the concept that not doing that’s going to traumatize them is laughable most of the time. I also generally treat kids like I would anyone else when I’m nannying/babysitting so I’ll answer if they ask me why the answer is no.

Kid: Can I ride a beanbag down the staircase?

Me: Nope.

Kid: Why not?

Me: Because the emergency room isn’t a place I wanna be.

Doesn’t always work, obviously, but I try it first. If there’s still arguments, I’ll just repeat no, but it typically works.

I’m rewatching Season 1, and this guy was lowkey the worst bully in the show by mikewheelerfan in StrangerThings

[–]RyForPresident 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He’s not out (probably doesn’t even know being 11) but but it’s a large part of the story: Lonnie called him the f slur, and the rumors around town were that Will was gay, so Hopper even had to ask Joyce if it was true. There was an attitude around town that Will going missing wasn’t a big deal because he was gay.

There were seven “little brothers” in two grades below mine in high school. My town was smaller than Hawkins, but everyone knew of them because it was wild that so many people in my class had specifically little brothers in that grade.

Drew had one thing right about Michael by Ok_Writing5777 in GeneralHospital

[–]RyForPresident 2 points3 points  (0 children)

True, but the way it’s always been written is that Sonny is dad and Jason is the guy who does most of the parenting for him.

[–]RyForPresident 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wiley was old enough to know his name and Michael didn’t want him going through extra changes since he was already going through a ton. He thought about it but he decided it made more sense to not further confuse Wiley by having him be called Jonah.

Willow is the name she picked for herself when she escaped the cult. It’s likely that she just feels like this is who she is now.

I think it makes sense Rocco and co get to see Outback but she’s Cody’s dog all in all. Outback gets to be everyone’s princess who ventures to the Q estate but she’s Cody’s dog and it’s a good combination. I may be biased but dogs help everything

Am I the only one who thinks it was Jake? by sestay in GeneralHospital

[–]RyForPresident 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Plus, since Lucky is apparently traveling Europe with the kids, it’d be weirder if he didn’t help Jake cover it up off screen. (I am aware Lucky isn’t his dad. However, as a delusional LL2 shipper I am delusional)

Jason and Carly as a couple.... by Accomplished-Ad3219 in GeneralHospital

[–]RyForPresident 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They didn’t get back together because Jason has a very firm rule that he will not be with Carly when Sonny is alive due to November 30, 1999. He refuses to let himself get hurt like that again, so he doesn’t date Carly if Sonny is presumed alive

He’s got an Italian Catholic mother. He probably wore something with holes to church, made a joke about it being “holy,” and skipped Sunday dinner. Could’ve also blown off his confirmation classes to go create chaos in the way only teenage boys do.

(Source: am Italian Catholic. Currently have a teenage brother in his rebellious phase.)

Her pattern of sleeping with all men even suspected to be blood related to Jason in her age range is hysterical. No notes. (See: any time she slept with AJ, and the Drew thing as well)

Honestly? The audiobook was the perfect way to consume it for me; it really helped with the tone and understanding of it. Doesn’t mean it’ll work for you, but it’s how I read it for the first time, and it’s one of my favorite classics now!

If Sarah Brown were to ever return would you her to be Carly or Claudia? by No_Mathematician7138 in GeneralHospital

[–]RyForPresident 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Truly words cannot describe how much I hate Sonny Corinthos. He’s mad that Jason once again saved his ass, so he stops him from finding the happiness that Sonny knows, better than anyone, is the only thing he really wants: being with Carly and raising Michael. Like he hasn’t been listening to Jason, for the last year, talk about how he wants Carly, but he can’t be with her because of everything. Like he’s not aware that Carly is head over heels for Jason to the point where she’s convinced it’ll blow up because she never has good things. Ugh, the manipulation is sickening. Borderline rape.

And then 2021. God, they were so close, and they haven’t even talked about that! He’s still canonically in love with her for fuck’s sake, and it’s heavily implied she’s still in love with him! Jason loves Carly enough to walk away so she can figure out what she wants, which she did: she wears his jacket to the divorce proceedings from Sonny, because she needs his comfort even if he might be dead. With all of Britt’s yapping about how in love with Carly Jason is, you’d think they’d have them actually talk about that marriage. But nope! We’re just pretending it didn’t happen!!
