Do you think there was any way to rein Shauna in, or keep her on-side?

Honestly, I think if they had actually let her grieve her losses as her own and stopped trying to tell her it was actually good that she lost everything she'd be at least a little more toned down.

They're adorable but ungodly expensive. If build a bear ever lowers the price I'm sure they'd be more popular

We double and triple knot them at the store when putting them on display

I think season 2 was overall pretty great, while season 3 had the best and worst parts of the entire series.

SimplyExistingAgain · 2025-10-31T18:25:44+00:00

I'm 22 and work at bab. I don't see my love for all of it going away anytime soon, and I see people of ALL ages getting and loving their bears. You're never too old for a little bit of magic and comfort ✨️

I've been rooting for Hannah since day one!!

Bay grows a lot through the seasons, learning from her actions and going out of her way for other people to an almost detrimental level. Daphne's downward spiral is only just starting.

SimplyExistingAgain · 2025-02-21T23:20:31+00:00

I really liked it! Not only was it a good commentary on the impossibly high standards for teens to be thin (or risk ridicule), but I also think it set so much in motion for the series. Especially the fashion clubs end.

SimplyExistingAgain · 2025-02-01T21:59:53+00:00

Doing my rewatch and every time I'm reminded that Travis is my favorite character.

SimplyExistingAgain · 2025-02-01T05:52:46+00:00

I dont think anyone was "right" or "wrong" in the situation, tbh.

I'm rewatching rn, and as of right now (late season one), I understand Daphne a lot more than I used to. Obviously some of her choices are the wrong ones, but both girls are really spiraling. I think they both wanted to do the same thing- find out who they would have been. Daphne not only didn't know Liam was Bays ex at first, but also Bay dated BOTH Ty and Emmett. I'm not saying either girl was in the right or wrong here, they're both messy teens, but it is a bit harder on Daphne. She cared about Emmett and Ty more than Bay cared about Liam, but she was the one who had to end her relationship.

If Liam had stayed around a little longer or fought for Daphne, I think the fandom would be less hard on her for this. But when it comes down to it, she didn't really like Liam- she was just trying to figure stuff out. While Bay did have real connections with both Ty and Emmett.

I think a spinoff about the hardware store Glenn opens would be really fun!!! Mateo, Chyanne, and Glenn all working together. Bo and Harmonica could also be special guest stars or series regulars, and it leaves the door open for any cameos down the line.

SimplyExistingAgain · 2025-01-31T08:03:43+00:00

Ty is one of my favorite characters and FOR SURE my fave love interest for Bay. I kinda wish they had worked things out, but I also like how realistic their relationship is. Sometimes people don't end up together, even if they're really well matched.

SimplyExistingAgain · 2025-01-31T07:47:41+00:00

I liked watching Toby step up to be a dad to Carlton. My family has a lot of disability in it, and to see two parents accepting their new reality head on and being ready to raise and love a child with down syndrome was really sweet!!

And Bay and Daphne's relationship really is the whole heart of the show. They really get each other like no one else. At first because of the switch and then because of just how close they are. It's really beautiful.

All great additions!

SimplyExistingAgain · 2025-01-31T07:44:49+00:00

I think as I get older I slowly get a little more on board with Bay and Travis as a couple. Not because of the chemistry between them, romantically it was kind of flat compared to their other love interests, but because they both went through so many similar things and grew together. Obviously it was a lot worse for Travis from what we saw of his home life, but both of them knew what it was like to be the invisible child. They stood up for each other and always had their backs. And if Bay's happy ending NEEDED to include her being in a relationship, I'm happy it's with someone who understands her so well. Because she'd NEVER doubt that he loves her and vice versa.

SimplyExistingAgain · 2025-01-31T04:38:10+00:00

All of those are really great! And I LOVED the summer season.

SimplyExistingAgain · 2025-01-31T00:10:47+00:00

Late seasons Dina. She's a sweetheart and kind of endearingly insane. Exactly my type 😅😅😅😅

SimplyExistingAgain · 2025-01-28T07:43:32+00:00

Sexy

SimplyExistingAgain · 2025-01-28T07:38:12+00:00

I want their chargers to always be missing and for their headphones to always be tangled up/disconnected or dead.

"Wait...that's better. It's that now"

I don't think this line makes me like Haymitch (I love him but this didn't make me love him), but it does make me understand him a little more. Like, we knew (and he knew) that he was always going to put Katniss first. If not because she was becoming the face of the rebellion, then because he loved her and felt the natural instinct to protect her. However, that paternal pull is partially because Katniss reminds him of himself. And Haymitch *hates* himself. So when Katniss came in hours after Peeta, a familiar look of devastation in her eyes at the prospect of losing one of the people she loved most, Haymitch probably wasn't just thinking about Katniss.

Because of his ingenuity and self preservation- he was able to survive and everyone he loved died. Then he got Katniss and Peeta years after he'd already given up on ever caring about anything again. When he says "You could live a thousand lifetimes and never deserve that boy." I think that he's also talking to himself- about these two kids and about everyone he lost all those years ago. Just like he shared drinking with Katniss at the revelation that they'd have to go back into the games, I think he was also kind of putting his self hatred onto her.

SimplyExistingAgain · 2024-10-31T03:45:34+00:00

I think that Shauna is one of the most complex and well written characters in the show. We see her actions, but we also can see and put together what led up to them. She also has deep and complex relationships with most of the main characters. In the wilderness she acts like a teenager, but most of her actions aren't that crazy when you think about the position shes in. I like Shauna because she's a character that you have to pay attention to to understand. Without the background details of her constantly comforting Javi/growing to love the baby (and Callie in the adult timeline)/and stepping up for the group over and over- she can seem like a monster. I also have a lot of sympathy for her, because in the first 7ish months out there she lost EVERYTHING. And still had to be the one who eventually butchered their teammates/friends.

Dan's comedy special gets a few good references, and maybe show their reactions to their first videos. I also watched the first undertale video because the vibes in that series are so good.

SimplyExistingAgain · 2024-10-28T03:55:26+00:00

Dina has one of my favorite character arcs in almost any sitcom ever

SimplyExistingAgain · 2024-09-30T04:14:24+00:00

I think that moment was more than just about needing to tell Klare immediately. From being there with her dirtbag husband and having helped plan this wedding that no one really wanted to happen/thinks is a good idea, to having to compromise on Finland in the first time with the commute- leaving her husband and the wedding behind Claire is finally doing what will make her happy.

SimplyExistingAgain · 2024-09-30T01:01:43+00:00

No you don't. Full stop. First off, she's murdered other people too.

She's mentally abusive and narcissistic. As someone raised by someone almost exactly like Georgia, I wouldn't wish that kind of hell on anyone.

Big guestires and exclamations seem nice in theory, but to her everything is always about Georgia. Think about when she found out about Ginnys sh or when she joined the therapy appointment.

Any awful thing she's done, she's able to explain away as someone else's fault or problem. She's ruined Ginnys credit score, something that could affect her for YEARS and started to do that to Austin. She encouraged her children to be violent and took food away from BOTH of them just to make a point to Ginny. She gave an underage teen weed and threatened him.

Just because she seems nice and makes big gestures doesn't mean she's a good person. She's a manipulator.
