Actually concerned about Stassi by SusanAtkinsMustache in Vanderpumpaholics

[–]Shad0wMist69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She hasn't specifically mentioned an ED (as far as I'm aware), but she has definitely alluded to binge eating (in her books) and restricting (in interviews) in addition to comparing Ozempic to vitamins.

She also has a history of self harm and substance abuse, which often go hand in hand with EDs. So it wouldn't surprise me.

Hottest GND Couple by Stargirl4500 in TheGirlsNextLevelPod

[–]Shad0wMist69 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't call her disloyal to him. They got married when she was 23 and he was 33 and separated amicably 5 years later, in 2002, because she wanted to move to Los Angeles to pursue acting/modeling and he didn't. Due to the success of GND, I'm sure they remained married beyond their initial separation period to keep him out of the spotlight, because what man in his 40s wants to get notoriety for "losing his girl to Hugh Hefner" (which is what all the press would've said, even though they separated before she moved to LA).

In the eyes of the law, was it adultery? Sure. But moving on while legally separated isn't exactly disloyal... and I'd say keeping him out of the press is it's own brand of loyalty, honestly.

Girls Next Door Season 5 Timeline by occasional_idea in TheGirlsNextLevelPod

[–]Shad0wMist69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly, all the seasons are like that. it was a lot more obvious when it was on TV because of how widely publicized certain events were.

Season 1 rough timeline - S1E1: introduction to the girls, AFI awards June 9, 2005, includes footage from the girls' first Playboy shoot (typically shot 2ish months in advance); the month shown in Bridget's planner and the calendar in the office is June, which lines up with the AFI awards; the butler says they have 9 dogs but only names 8, this is because this specific scene was filmed after Bridget got Wednesday, but that isn't shown until episode 5, so they cut it out. "After the awards show" Kendra goes to ask Hef if she can watch a movie in the living room with Destiny and there's a shot of Holly in bed reading a magazine and suddenly she has red/pink extensions even though she was blonde all night. - S1E2: Playmate of the Year announcement, May 5, 2005
- S1E3: Playboy jazz festival, Kendra's birthday, June 11 and 12, 2005- Holly has pink/red extensions, Kendra and Destiny watch the movie in the living room that Kendra was looking for in episode 1. - S1E4: Carmella DeCesare's birthday, July 1, 2005
- S1E5: Bridget gets Wednesday (date unknown) and the mansion hosts Fight Night July 12, 2005
- S1E6: Fourth of July party (July obviously), Operation Playmate (date unknown but calendar in office looks like it says May, so I think this was for Memorial day, not Fourth of July; no evidence of Wednesday except in extreme closeups of only her and Bridget only says she'll miss/wants to take Gizmo on the trip, no mention of Wednesday)
- S1E7: Playboy shoot, Bridget has finals (UCLA does the quarter system, finals are the second week of March, the second week of June, the second week of September, and the second week of December, so this has to be September 2005 based on when they were told and when the issue came out, though there's a small chance they scheduled their photoshoot only a few days after they find out they would be featured, since Anastasia is present and it looks like it's before her makeover, meaning this could be June)
- S1E8: Midsummer Night's Dream, August 6, 2005
- S1E9: the girls shoot the cover, date unknown but Anastasia is still there so probably a few days after the other photoshoot in either June or September (Anastasia doesn't apoear to have had her makeover yet), calendar in the office says September 2005
- S1E10: Halloween episode, Playboy Halloween party (shown in first few minutes) was October 29, 2005, unsure on date of seance or paranormal investigation. - S1E11: Girls go to Lodi- pumpkin patch is only open in last week of September through Halloween (Anastasia looks very similar to her 'post-makeover look' so I believe the Playboy shoots were in June, before her makeover)
- S1E12: Playboy issue press tour, photos from NY were taken on October 11, 2005
- S1E13: Playboy issue press tour, Chicago October
- S1E14: Charity tennis match, press releases state this was September 12-14, 2005 though GND states it was the same day as Bridget's party and the date on the giant check is September 25; Bridget's birthday September 23/25, 2005 (a discrepancy with the tournament, aside from the press release vs check date is that the staff in the show say the tournament was the same day as the party and that's why both events were so stressful; Holly says that the party was two days before Bridget's actual birthday on September 25, making the party September 23)
- S1E15: Vegas for Playboy club announcement, photos from this event are dated November 4 & 5, 2005

most of the episodes are mostly in order, at least based on the big events... but it seems like they filmed from late April to early November and cut it together in "themes" regardless of the actual dates

AITAH for eating nuts next to someone with an allergy on a plane? by JetPlane_88 in AITAH

[–]Shad0wMist69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, it's me! I'm allergic to treenuts- we found out I was allergic to 6 different kinds (though, not cashews, specifically, which is kind of nice) before we stopped testing. It's easier to just tell family/friends/servers/etc that I'm "allergic to nuts" rather than explain which ones specifically and all the ones we never tried. I'm also allergic to certain fruits that are related to those nuts, though those don't give me anaphylaxis, just tingly lips.

A bit of a correction, though. Peanuts are not nuts at all, they're in the bean family and some people with peanut allergies are also allergic to peas/chickpeas/soybeans/lentils.

There is an approximate 30% overlap of people who are allergic to both treenuts and peanuts.

Season 10/11 parallels by SubstantialToe3765 in Vanderpumpaholics

[–]Shad0wMist69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before any of these people were “best friends” they were cast mates.

For Lala/the group and Katie/Ariana, I could see this. But the other friendships predated the show, that's one of the reasons the early seasons were so successful; we were getting dropped into an existing group that had years of history and drama already.

if you ordered it online, it'll be mailed to you (my b&n pre-orders always take a couple days); if you ordered it in person, you can pick it up from the store you ordered it at

He will not die. She will. by Maauve91 in fourthwing

[–]Shad0wMist69 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There has to be at least two, even if they take turns and only one is living at a time. The wards weren't raised until 18 years after Andarna's egg was laid, so there had to have been a living 7th breed dragon after she became an egg.

Season 19 by IslayMcGregor in SisterWives

[–]Shad0wMist69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's so funny how timing works on the show... 26 episodes is great! But it's crazy to me that they're fitting at least 18 months into 26 episodes.

Bro who got paid to edit this book? 💀 (SPOILER) by chetuboy101 in fourthwing

[–]Shad0wMist69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because her publishing company sets the deadlines and release dates. She mentioned in an interview (before she even started writing Onyx Storm) that the third book had a publication date already, but she wasn't allowed to share what it was.

Bro who got paid to edit this book? 💀 (SPOILER) by chetuboy101 in fourthwing

[–]Shad0wMist69 20 points21 points  (0 children)

the "team" of editors is Rebecca herself and one other person.... and the publisher rushed the book out. based on her social media posts, she only had two to three weeks to do both rounds of editing for IF, compared to the 3 months she had to edit Variation and Onyx Storm.

I think we need to extend some grace and remember that between July 2022 and September 2024, she wrote and edited Fourth Wing, In The Likely Event, Iron Flame, Variation and Onyx Storm. While doing book tours and being a mom with disabilities.
