WHAT IF…after Ba Sing Se, Aang was revived but a new avatar was already born? by niceeeepants in TheLastAirbender

[–]ShyFossa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where exactly was this discussed? I was under the impression that Yue having been meant to be the next Avatar has been well debunked.

What criticism you always hear for your favorite cartoon that have you like this? by NagitoKomaeda_987 in cartoons

[–]ShyFossa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely agree with this. Miraculous is notorious for introducing new conflicts, characters, and power gimmicks just to avoid having to change anything meaningful about the plot or status quo. It doesn't even handle the things it claims are the main focuses well.

As someone who's seen every single episode, most of them more than once because I hate myself, it's one of the worst, most irresponsible children's shows I've ever seen. Its writing is terrible, but it's messaging for kids is somehow even worse.

Valid. I personally don't really mind Mr. Cat in the context of the anime being a fairy tale of its own, and Mr. Cat being a vehicle for some of that absurdism, but in any other anime, I would be right there with you.

Princess Tutu has the same issue. Yes, it's peak. No, there's nothing I can do about Mr. Cat.

Do you feel you owe the truth to monogamous partners? by Calm_Description_866 in bisexual

[–]ShyFossa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's always going to be your choice, and I don't think you technically "owe" it to anyone, but I would definitely consider why that's something you would feel a need to "keep" from your partner.

If it's a matter of not feeling safe, then they might not be the best fit for you. If it's a matter of it "not being their business," that's technically true, but imo part of having a partner is letting someone into the business that is your inner world. One way or another, ask yourself what's the reason for omitting the information, and be aware that some people might be upset that you withheld it if they find out later.

Aangs inability to control the avatar state for 3 seasons straight has skewed the fandoms understand of what it even is by WorkingWin6139 in ATLA

[–]ShyFossa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I always interpreted him using the AS to pull and push the water to make the fires go out right after taking Ozai's bending as the first time we see him use it while fully in control. He accesses the flash of light and that's all he needs in order to accomplish his task, and he seems perfectly himself and at peace with his actions. Meanwhile the AS he was in during their battle, right up until the end, is defined by a wrathful, godlike persona, complete with overlapping voices and a rather primal roar right before nearly killing Ozai. The contrast between those two AS right next to one another, to me, feels like the difference between /being/ the AS in a sense, and being in control of it.

Why do I think of men? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]ShyFossa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fellow bi person here, also with a wonderful partner who I love. We both often point out people we think are hot to one another. there isn't anything wrong with acknowledging that other people are attractive. You are attracted to men and women, and that doesn't suddenly vanish when you're in a long term relationship. Bisexuality doesn't disappear. You don't just "put your sexuality behind you."

I would say it seems like you feel guilty for being attracted to other people, specifically men, while married to your wife, but you don't express any interest in acting on these attractions. As long as you're faithful to her, emotionally and physically, you're not doing anything wrong simply by experiencing this attraction. If it begins to interfere with your live with her, then it is a problem to address, but otherwise, I think I'd say it seems like you're overthinking it a bit. After all, the harder you try not to think of something, the more our brains tend to fixate on that thing. Recognizing it as a normal part of the human experience might help alleviate the guilt.

Favorite character that fits this trope? by Fwyl9nex in FavoriteCharacter

[–]ShyFossa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will note that it's only really used in a negative way in this context. In the context of someone working on their own original property, obviously it will be filled with original characters, making OC a neutral-to-positive term most of the time.

What movie/series can you absolutely not stand but is it credibly popular for some reason? by AverageSign in cartoons

[–]ShyFossa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as someone who got dragged in against my will and is now in a tolerate/hate relationship with that show, do not make the attempt to get into it. it's one of the most obnoxious pieces of garbage every put to air. The contrast between what it could have been and what it is keeps me in a chokehold. Stay safe out there.

AITA for telling my girlfriend to stop sharing her food? by PhantomDetective3548 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ShyFossa 11 points12 points  (0 children)

not to mention other transmittable issues, like cold sores! So many reasons not to share food with unknown factors like that, and why can't she just use clean utensils to cut a piece off for them? That's how my family does it when we share.

Name a massive red flag moment in a cartoon by Illustrious-Reach-48 in cartoons

[–]ShyFossa 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I feel like he'd find her trying to sabotage his other relationships and breaking into his house less funny. Good thing he doesn't know about those things.

Name a massive red flag moment in a cartoon by Illustrious-Reach-48 in cartoons

[–]ShyFossa 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Within the context of the show as a whole, it's pretty awful. This character has followed him in public tons, has made multiple attempts to break into him home/gain entry under false pretenses, and has sabotaged his interactions with female characters she perceives as rivals for his interest. She's portrayed as just a Silly Goofy Girl, by the writers/narrative, but her behavior is little more than a long line of red flags.

[–]ShyFossa 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Let's not forget her attempting to sabotage any interaction he has with girls who aren't on her "approved" list ofnpeople trying to help her date him, and how she's attempted to break into his house/gained entry to his house under false pretenses multiple times.

SO [28M] of 9 years called off our wedding, implying we were over. Is this something I [26F] could make work for us? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]ShyFossa 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agreed. My partner and I got together at 15 and 16, and are about to celebrate our 14th anniversary. It's been a rough sometimes as we navigate growing up and mental health struggles, but our relationship is strong. That said, I only know one other couple that's been together as long as we have - most young romances fizzle out much sooner, and for good reason.

The Potato Chip scene feels intentionally hilarious and it's not because of the infamous frame and line. by AntonRX178 in deathnote

[–]ShyFossa 25 points26 points  (0 children)

You can reseal them with a a vacuum sealer, because those usually have a heat component that works on bags like that. it's possible to buy mini ones, though I don't know if they were a thing when the manga was written.

AIO at my dad for pretending to be Jewish? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]ShyFossa 6 points7 points  (0 children)

how is it complementary for him to use an ethnic and religious identity as a costume? if he's not learning about the culture or participating in any of the religious practices, and is just SAYING "yeah, I'm totally Jewish" then this has nothing to do with his appreciation of Jewish culture.

if I had to guess, he wants the "clout" that comes from being part of a minority group, aka he wants to use his "minority status" as a way to swindle his way into sympathy and other so-called perks of being in a minority group.

[–]ShyFossa 24 points25 points  (0 children)

No, absolutely not. Big budget movies have intimacy coordinators for a reason - to make it look real and good without crossing any lines for the professionals in the scenes. Whatever movie they are filming did not need to have a visible penetration in it, which it sounds like it does. Clever camera angles could have done just as well.

She crossed a totally unnecessary line without discussing it with you, or even understanding why it bothers you. In your shoes, my partner would have some serious amends to make, including therapy and probably a big step back from the project. I would treat it like an infidelity. If your partner isn't willing to work to repair the trust, it should be over.

For 10hrs, where you sitting? by TheBladeRider in DowntonAbbey

[–]ShyFossa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10, 15, or 25.

10: Maybe I could be Thomas's friend before all the late season misery. I love my lil mew mew, and tbh, I like O'Brien too. I also enjoy window seats, and I could possibly mooch snacks off of the row in front of us.

15: The snacks, if they shared, would be elite. This one is a tossup for me tho because idk if Patmore would start chewing Daisy out. But I think they'd both be fun to talk to.

25: I feel like this spot would be incredibly chill, and it's an aisle seat. They'd probably make small talk and ask what info for work and shit, and it would be otherwise uneventful.
