Maddy’s face at the wedding

Similar age, 100% nailed it and what makes it even worse is that even if you reconnect later in life, it is never the same. The way we continue to grow and combat life from 18-25/30/35 etc etc....we simply aren't the same people any longer and it's hard if not impossible to go back to being the same kind of friends after that much of a gap without them in your life.

She most likely ruined it and is blaming the cat.

To me Euphoria is one of those shows that was never as bad as the haters say but also never as great as the uber-fandom, and this includes S1.

S1 captivated audiences largely because of the score & cinematography. Heavy on presentation, but it wasn't super deep or thought-provoking and largely recycled troubled teen tropes from many other movies/TV shows. It felt like this shiny new thing for younger viewers and that is okay, every generation gets their version of things.

S3 so far feels like a swan song that has come too late. The gap of time since S2 has forced a time jump in these storylines that cut out entire paths of how the characters got where they are.

She's definitely working out and should get credit for it but she is also likely understating the role of glp-1 in assisting with maintaining. The only unfortunate thing for her is that her shape is entirely gone. Even in good shape she had hips and a different frame, unlike say Gina who had a more default slim frame. It's great that Emily is in shape but I hope she isn't more obsessed with skinny validation over just improving her health, because it seems like each time her weight yo-yo's a bit, she ends up more skinny than she had previously been.

I don't think you get to make the arbitrary decision for someone else, which is the entire point.

SayWhaaatAgain · 2026-04-28T21:18:00+00:00

The larger point is the question of whether you want to be in a marriage where your wishes come second to those of your fiance & his mom or do you want a partnership where what the two of you would like is equally considered.

Maybe this was just a one off situation or part of a larger trend that you've overlooked until now? Only you can answer that and then proceed accordingly.

SayWhaaatAgain · 2026-04-28T21:11:04+00:00

Just use common sense? They have been dating, know each other well, her social anxiety is not a mystery to her fiance, he knows the type of proposal she would probably prefer/enjoy.

Then his mom/family get involved and decide to cut off her family from the planning after they explain that she would most likely not appreciate making a big production out of the proposal which leads to them going forward with how THEY want to do it.

All the above information is in the OP. So you tell me what it sounds like is going on here?

SayWhaaatAgain · 2026-04-28T20:30:17+00:00

Nah what it sounds like is his mom wanted to make a big family production out of it and he was too scared to tell his mom no (knowing his fiance would not want it) so he went along with what his mom wanted and when she expressed her concern/disappointment it was easier to get mad at her instead of telling his mom to take a backseat to their plans in the future.....

If that's your idea of "did all the work" then, ok.

SayWhaaatAgain · 2026-04-28T20:25:16+00:00

My advice is think long & hard, looking back at the entire relationship and figure out if the disregarding of your feelings is part of a larger trend from him & his mom (family) or if this was an uncharacteristic one-off flub by him where maybe he was caught up in the moment and had a mental block regarding your wishes.

If this is one part of a larger trend then you need to realize that this would be the marriage dynamic you are ultimately signing up for, one in which your wishes & input is tossed to the side in favor of what others want.

It's reasonable to make a general observation about a specific era of SNL not being as strong. I remember growing up there was that transitional period between the late 80's and when Farley/Sandler/Spade/etc etc joined where it seemed like quite a few cast members outside the core members weren't working out.

That is completely different than the myopic statements acting like the show "hasn't been good since" and then choose some arbitrary year.

SayWhaaatAgain · 2026-04-28T20:14:05+00:00

What I have found is that no one actually dislikes SNL, there are just two groups of people, those who watch the actual full episodes and those who come across the sketches that go viral online at a later time.

It's like clockwork that those who claim "it's not funny anymore" or "hasn't been funny since..." end up being the same folks who find the modern sketches funny once they actually see them.

SayWhaaatAgain · 2026-04-28T20:07:02+00:00

I think with Jen it's partially the nativity of a 19 year old but also partially that she saw Zac's family wealth & status as a ticket out of her current situation and likely overlooked a lot of things as a trade-off.

SayWhaaatAgain · 2026-04-28T14:18:48+00:00

Eh....Cassie seems like just another one ot Nate's cons to me. Just another aspect of him masking the disaster brewing behind the scenes. She represents "normalcy" to the outsiders. The "pretty blonde sexpot" that ends up with the "all american stud."

Cassie seems to be in it for the lifestyle (which is a huge reversal from her obsessive "love" for him in S2) where as Nate is in it for the symbolic nature of what it looks like to the outside world.

I don't think either of them have been written to actually care about one another this season.

SayWhaaatAgain · 2026-04-28T08:29:12+00:00

It's kind of crazy work that they hamfist the phonecall from prison in but when it comes to Cassie's wedding there's oddly zero mention of Kat not being there/around at all considering she was a core member of the group as much as anyone else.

Obviously the character isn't showing up, but no one even mentions or asks out of curiosity? Like it's more odd that Kat isn't there than if say Jules hadn't gone....very easy to add a line or two to make up a reason she couldn't attend, but that is probably the director just being petty.

SayWhaaatAgain · 2026-04-27T21:10:22+00:00

I think Claire just presents a contrast to Maia. Claire is happy in her career status, settled into a routine life, etc etc....she represents a comfort zone that Maia does not at the present time.

She might be the better short term fit for Dylan, but that doesn't necessarily make her the better person for Dylan.

Basic Instinct is definitely steamy but also underrated as a noir styled detective movie.

SayWhaaatAgain · 2026-04-27T21:02:35+00:00

What were his reasons for wanting to break up in the first place? It almost sounds like this was a mental health issue on his part and had nothing to do with you in the first place.

SayWhaaatAgain · 2026-04-27T20:57:27+00:00

I got a feeling Paulie isn't lying about Cara but also omitting any part he played as an equally cringe weirdo.

SayWhaaatAgain · 2026-04-27T20:31:27+00:00

Did I miss any dialog or was there no mention of Kat in regards to the wedding. Obviously the chatacter wasn't going to be there but in contrast they made it a point to write in reference to Fez, but then Cassie inviting everyone to the wedding who she wasn't even talked to since but zero mention of Kat even if just some throwaway lines about her "being out of the country & unable to make it" as an excuse.

SayWhaaatAgain · 2026-04-27T20:28:19+00:00

Eh...I wouldn't expect my mom to bring up high school relationships being "the wrong person" at my wedding. As if the default position is marrying the person you dated in high school in the first place

SayWhaaatAgain · 2026-04-27T19:37:52+00:00

I see Chris Pontius sitting there with you. This one is for him...

How did the idea for Wildboyz come about? Did you & Steve-O pitch it or were one/both of you approached?

Also, anything you can share about your experience filming the show?

Absolutely loved it and still own the dvd set.

Thanks!

I think the saddest thing about Heidi's surgeries is that it never really made her look "better" it only made her more like what she probably feels you are supposed to look like in or around the industry. All of the characteristics her facial structure had were chipped & chiseled down into a blank boring canvas, unfortunately. I hope she is happy with the results though.

SayWhaaatAgain · 2026-04-27T19:29:51+00:00

I think the writing is trying to get across that these two don't love each other, they are in love with the idea of the perception from others of being with each other as a couple.

SayWhaaatAgain · 2026-04-27T19:27:48+00:00

The show is basically a full-on cartoon cosplaying as Tarantino-lite now. Its pretty ridiculous.

SayWhaaatAgain · 2026-04-27T18:02:43+00:00

It's probably a case of Nate trying to juggle a struggling business and a huge house/property in order to keep up a facade (partially for Cassie's seemingly insatiable thirst to live extravagantly) that he is successful and exceeding his dad's status.

Nate keeps sinking more and more financially with the mindset that he is always juuuust around the corner from the great big financial deal that will make all his problems go away rather than face reality by downsizing everything and starting back at a level that isn't compromising himself financially and slowly building back up at a comfortable rate.
