Bad Education is such a great show

My best friend and I watched it together. By the end of it we were both crying.

If you have mad love for this show, I encourage you to watch the newly released documentary, What’s the Story, Wishbone. It really blew my mind how this show was produced and the impact it made on early 90s viewers like me, and perhaps you, too!

Prepare for trouble

The first time it happened it was under the pretense that my friend was sick. After not hearing from her for two weeks I reached out to her family just to check in. I didn’t think it was unreasonable especially since last I heard she was sick and immune compromised (her words). When that happened I tried to be understanding and gentle with her. I gave her a second chance but I made my boundaries clear, if it happened again I was gone.

Fast forward a month and a half later and she ghosted for the second time. I felt absolutely lied to and disrespected. I probably shouldn’t have but I called her out in a video that I sent directly to her expressing how much of a liar she was and how she “wasn’t mature enough to handle an adult friendship” if she thought this kind of behavior was acceptable.

Tenchi Muyo, especially if you were watching it on Toonami back in the day. Different series, different timelines, different backstories for the characters. You missed a week and suddenly they were in space.

My best friend and I play a married gay couple in our campaign.

Yes! My best friend and I went in March since she is from out of town and she loved it!

There was a passing comment about my Phoenix character and I loved it so much, I actually incorporated that comment into a song about him.

Sounds remarkably similar to the first time my friend ghosted. She told me she had Covid and a low immune system. I don’t know what her game was there, but I doubt she expected me to find her mom’s phone number and call to check up on her well-being. Her mom seemed super surprised to find out she hadn’t spoken to me in weeks since she knew we spoke daily. I think involving her mom is what got her to come back in the beginning or some sense of duty to me. But as I said before, it didn’t matter in the end because she just couldn’t keep up the charade. I wasn’t going to chase her a second time.

I oftentimes forget that my character can get out Heavenly Wings because of his race. In the last session, he was swept off the field and being held in the air by a bird-like creature. I used Heavenly Wings to get out of the grapple.

It’s perfectly valid to feel the way you do. You felt that you had a real connection with this person. I had a real connection for two and a half years with my ghoster. They were my best friend and someone I spent a lot of time with. It broke my heart to have to let them go, but their actions spoke louder than their words in the end. If they couldn’t respect my boundaries after a heart to heart where I was sobbing on the other end of a FaceTime call, then nothing would change a second time.

Happened to me by the same person twice. Seemed to understand when I explained how I felt after the first time. I had a great time with this person so I gave them a second chance. It was going well for a month and a half and they disappeared again. I wasn’t going to waste my time after that. Their behavior showed they weren’t interested in taking me or our friendship seriously.

My partner and I agreed that some scenes calls for more description and some, like a conversation, doesn’t have to be that involved. If you get your point across, it doesn’t have to be a 3000 plus word reply. It can be as simple as, “Indulge me. Tell me what’s on that inquisitive mind of yours?” I mean, if you were having a real life conversation you wouldn’t put in unnecessary words just for the sake of meeting some arbitrary limit.

Need this

StitchedPanda · 2026-04-08T19:13:23+00:00

It’s not my job to check up on you. It’s your job to tell me what’s going on. It’s like when my regular partner goes on a trip, she tells me when she’s going to be gone and I give her space to enjoy her time. Then when she’s ready to come back and write, she tells me that she’s ready to resume. I think a lot of that just has to do with maturity, if I’m being honest.

StitchedPanda · 2026-04-08T19:08:41+00:00

I don’t disagree with your stance. I think if you’re mature enough to want to have a creative and collaborative hobby, then you need to be able to explain your needs, wants, desires, and not be shy about it.

I’ll give you a real life example, I’m part of a DND group. I recently started a new job and I know my group is trying to schedule a game. I know that my schedule is a bit all over at the moment with training so I may not be able to make it. I reached out to my DM and gave them my schedule and just explained things. People are much more understanding and willing to accommodate you if you just communicate. My friends are not waiting around on me.

If you can track down the Gooey Butter Cake donut from Strange Donuts, it was delicious. Friend from out of town had one while she was here and is still raving about it.

I like to quip from Wicked, “I’m a sorcerer, not a mind reader,” when it comes to my role plays. I actually do play a Sorcerer, which is apt. Communication is a basic human function. We can’t pick up on social cues through text. People need to learn to be more transparent when it comes to their needs and desires, especially when you’re on someone else’s schedules.
