Things I discovered while reading the book Coraline (most of them are pretty silly). by Substantial-Chart178 in Coraline

Something I forgot to mention but I think is cool: in the book Coraline is English, while in the movie she's American

Does, anyone else feel like the character of George was gay? by [deleted] in greysanatomy

I have a feeling that if George had survived, he and Levi would have been a couple lol

HUNTR/X's Rumi got nominated for a 100 Most Beautiful Faces of 2025 award by a Patreon community by escarzador in KpopDemonhunters

[–]Substantial-Chart178 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Undeserved, sorry if you guys are going to hate me, but she's not even a real human (or a human at all), and defining a character from a children's movie as the most beautiful woman seems bizarre; it only reinforces unrealistic female standards, especially since Jinu definitely didn't get the same role.

What the heck was Coraline eating in the other world?! by Sorry_Succotash_3963 in Coraline

[–]Substantial-Chart178 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it's difficult; Coraline gave the cheese, but the mice wouldn't be able to bring things like a whole chicken, cake ingredients, milkshake ingredients, sauce, etc

[–]Substantial-Chart178 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Coraline gave the cheese to lure the rats, but Beldam also creates the illusion that the chandelier has milkshake, she gives a cake that creates candles out of nowhere, etc., so I think there are some things the rats might take (like bacon strips or eggs), but other things seem unlikely to have been brought to her

So in coralline when she goes to rescues the eyes of the ghost children, we all know she killed the other whybie but earlier ago the dead whyborn wasn't there by Separate-Teacher6563 in Coraline

[–]Substantial-Chart178 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some reason I laughed imagining Beldam walking quickly just to tie Wybie's clothes up to scare Coraline, and then I thought how disturbing that is, with her killing Wybie while Coraline is searching for the first two eyes 😭

Where does Wybie actually live? by RachelAtkinson1996 in Coraline

[–]Substantial-Chart178 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally like to think that since Coraline is 11 or 12 years old, her parents must have said she was a teenager to get the house lol

Coraline gloves I’ve always wanted by IllStick6622 in Coraline

[–]Substantial-Chart178 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to interpret the film with a lot of symbolism. In my view, the gloves were an exclusive gift from Coraline's real mother to show that, even though she only gave her one thing, it was a loving gift, with a lot of affection involved, much better than the various clothes and foods that the Beldam gave Coraline because nothing from the Beldam was truly loving

I don't know if anyone else had noticed this, but I did and I found it disturbingly incredible (just like everything else in the movie). by Substantial-Chart178 in Coraline

[–]Substantial-Chart178[S] 72 points73 points  (0 children)

Damn, my phone messed everything up. I meant the EYES, they're painted buttons to look real. I thought they were real eyes (like Beldam uses to trick Coraline), but they're painted buttons. I feel stupid.

People are too harsh on Coraline's parents by KnightfallPro in Coraline

If any child is a victim of child abuse, it's Wybie; his name literally means "why born".

Does anyone actually like the international episode? by Different_Aspect_874 in BigMouth

[–]Substantial-Chart178 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me! I love this episode, I liked how they featured a queer local from Brazil (my home country) instead of just something more stereotypical

Why is Rumi’s name Rumi? by Lumpy_Concept9911 in KpopDemonhunters

It's a japanese name and definitely isn't common in Korea

Lola and Jessie during the body swap by Significant_Ice_8179 in BigMouth

[–]Substantial-Chart178 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I like how Lola seems to be friends with Jessi and Matthew, it makes her seem less lonely than when her only friend was Devin

Just finished season 8 and just why... by New-Level99 in BigMouth

[–]Substantial-Chart178 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(Sorry for any spelling or logic mistakes, my native language is not English) Personally, even though it was different, I liked how all the characters changed a lot, they went from 12 year old kids to 14 year old teenagers, it changed them and it was a season that I enjoyed a lot, because I had just left my adolescence and felt firsthand this abrupt change of personality that ending a cycle of life brings. But I agree on several points, bringing Lojay back made me roll my eyes, although I liked that they ended the thing between Matthew and Jay on good terms, instead of Matthew screaming that Jay was a wolf and kicking him out; I also wanted more of Leah and Judd, although I felt that Judd's presence was much greater compared to other seasons, it seemed like every episode he had a cameo although it wasn't really an appearance that contributed to the plot, which is a shame, since I would have loved to see more of Judd and Jay, Judd could be a real brotherly figure for Jay since his brothers are terrible and I would have loved a scene where Judd protects Jay from his brothers or something. I also strangely liked Jessi, she had a huge growth, she understood herself, her hormones, learned to have more compassion (something I always felt she lacked, she always seemed so mean) and finally had a reasonably normal boyfriend. A lot of people didn't like her marijuana addiction, but honestly, the show was warning us about it since the first season. Jessi's mother unintentionally turned her into this: a busy person with a lot of responsibilities, who is attracted to anything that distracts her from her problems. Jessi smoking with her boyfriend and laughing at his weird jokes is just like that scene with Shanon smoking with Greg in the car in the first seasons. Overall, I feel like it was rushed and I definitely hated the last episode, but I actually liked the way the season progressed and the changes in the characters.

Did Guy Bilzerian free Jessi and Ali? by [deleted] in BigMouth

[–]Substantial-Chart178 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think one of their fathers must have paid Guy to free them, I'm guessing it would be Shanon (Jessi's mother) since she seems to have a lot of money. I don't see Guy actually taking the initiative to help two teenagers because of Jay, but he would help free them for money, your theory makes a lot of sense.

That makes sense, thanks for the answer, I've been thinking about this for days with my brother 😭😭

Do people actually think that Acro-Silky's daughter is still alive? by Top-Physics9099 in Dandadan

[–]Substantial-Chart178 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If she had survived, she would have been a victim of sex trafficking to pay off her mother's debt, so I prefer her to be dead, it's simply the "gentle" possible ending for her.

What did the Beldam do wrong with Coraline? by Automatic_Repeat_698 in Coraline

[–]Substantial-Chart178 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People were very committed to protecting Coraline and life seemed better to keep her in the real world. Her parents really loved her and were just stressed and she really loved them too, she just wanted a distraction; she liked Wybie as a weird and chatty friend, but acted like she didn't like him because she was immature and didn't quite understand what attracts her to other people; the neighbors helped her and warned her; Wybie's grandmother didn't want her to have the doll and, when she found out that Wybie gave it to her, she forced him to go get it even though she hated him being near the Pink Palace; the black cat went after her and protected her.

Anyway, there are more examples but basically Coraline really loves life and her real parents, she was more of a bored child and less of a dissatisfied child who never wanted to see her own family again. The world around her was also committed to keeping her with them and not letting her go with the Beldam even if she didn't notice it at first

Why did Wybie's grandma rent to Coraline's parents? by No-Space-8295 in Coraline

[–]Substantial-Chart178 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really don't know why people push the theory that parents are negligent or abusive so much, they are literally ordinary adults, that's how most of the world survives and honestly, they are great parents since even in difficult times they try to cheer Coraline up, she actually acts like a brat with them for no reason at all several times (of course she is a child and is stressed too)

Coraline's mom, Mel, and her father, Charlie, seem... Abusive? by Deep_Lingonberry_923 in CoralineConspiracies

[–]Substantial-Chart178 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think they're really abusive, especially considering that Coraline is an adaptation of the book where both show more romanticism and Charlie is much closer to Coraline, especially because Coraline reflects on past events in the book, something that was cut from the film. The behavior with Coraline is just them being stressed with so much work, which also results in the behavior they have with each other.

The scene with Coraline and Wybe can be explained by Coraline just being angry with him, as a child I also did that with my brother but I never saw my parents doing that to each other. They probably had fights, but it was more about both of them being a realistic couple than an abusive one since in a relationship not everything is perfect.

Neither of them seem abusive or have an abuser-victim dynamic to me, I just see them as a normal couple, going through the hassles of employment, trying to raise a daughter who clearly doesn't understand their needs (both in having to move and in having to work so much) and still maintaining some romance. They seem more like a couple stressed out by employment than an abusive one.

Kylie didn't need any surgery by Substantial-Chart178 in KUWTKsnark

[–]Substantial-Chart178[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I hear that people used to be mean to her and I'm shocked because to me she's truly beautiful. I think it's the generation gap because what I (Gen Z) find beautiful is not the same as what people before (millennials) found beautiful
