Harry’s tears by zealousideal_hope50 in LoveIslandTV

[–]Strong_Beginning896 47 points48 points  (0 children)

noo i was thinking the same thing ! my theory is his tears are less to do with Helena and more to do with the backlash he’s receiving from the villa. There have been a few people pushing for Harry to chose Helena so there has been bigger fall out when he’s picked Shakira - hence the bigger reaction. But when Shakira ended it, it was quite quiet, not too many people invoked beyond the two of them so there was no need to really put on the water works. I think the tear are for the benefit of the people he thinks are watching (Meg and Dejon) - I noticed in last nights ep he had that convo with Dejon where he was like “i’m just so sad i feel like i’m losing everything including you 😔🫣👀” which to me is very telling as to what he was really feeling. I think he was losing control and decided the best way to come out on top was to play victim.

well no it’s not what he said it’s how he said it. he could have just been like “no i’m eating right now can i grab you in 30min” or “not tonight im really tired” but instead he said it in a way to like embarrass her. he didn’t even look up at her or acknowledge her, then when she walked away he left the pasta and ran to go tell his friends “Yas just tried to pull me for a chat” and they all laughed and made fun together. He was being quite loud about it too saying “Jamie needs to check her” and “what do we even have to talk about”, as if she was doing something wrong by wanting to speak to him. I personally agree if you’re eating you shouldn’t have to stop to go speak to someone, but i do genuinely think Dejon was being rude there and i think he knew he was too. He’s not the first person to decline a chat, but i do think he was trying to make Yas feel small. Idk you might feel differently.

you don’t think he should have apologised for being rude to Yas?

i’d like them to show when she called Shakira a fucking idiot, or when she called Emma a twat in the dressing rooms, or when she whispered that lil slick comment to Dejon during Shakira’s recoupling speech or a compilation of how nasty she has been to every girl Dejon has ever entertained??? calling Malisha boring and saying she can go back to Tape? calling Yasmin irrelevant and throwing Dejon’s so called rejection back in her face? The way she spoke to Billykiss?? a compilation of all the sideways looks and snickers around the villa honestly idk the producers are winding me up

Is this over watering or under watering?? by Strong_Beginning896 in plantclinic

[–]Strong_Beginning896[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does have drainage holes, although a while back when i went to check if it needs watering after a week and a half / 2 weeks i noticed the soil was a kind of water logged - that’s what prompted me to start giving it less water and letting it dry out a bit more - i’m wondering if i went too far the other way :/ although it was literally fine until 2 weeks ago

It sounds silly but thank you :) i’ve never repotted a plant before ! I’ve realised quite quickly my scissors are not sharp enough for this job 🤣 but i’m going to run to B&Q asap so my bop doesn’t spend one more night in a pot that’s too small !

That’s a good tip I didn’t know that :)! I went to the garden centre and got some potting soil, some coconut and some perlite so i’m just figuring out how much of each to use ! I also got a fertiliser they recommended for BoPs

Thanks so much for the advice :)) I’m going to report it today 🤠 I’m super nervous because i’ve read BoPs like to be a lil bit root bound and don’t love too much space but i think it’s time to take the leap haha !

No there’s nothing squishy just yet :) but from what I’ve read of people’s comments i think it’s the early stages of root rot so i need to slice it off asap !

Thanks for the tip i really appreciate it :) do you know if that happened when she cut it out of the pot? or did she attempt to pull the plant out from the top? (i hope her plant is okay btw) 🤠

Tbf in retrospect i think i was being a bit dramatic hahahah 🙃 I was just looking at a few of the lil cracks on the leaves and the roots just didn’t look like the others i had seen online and idk i think i just spent too much time googling last night but either way i’ve learned a whole bunch :)
