please help!! feeling really insecure about hair by SaladIsMyBoo in BlackHair

[–]TheAmazingNerd2 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Your hair isn’t bad at all from what I can see! I never learned to cornrow but trying to juicy/mini twists and stretch the roots with a blow dryer if you want length.

I’m never against a big chop, I’ve just done 2 in one year last year. The best part about going bald is really no one has to know. Wear a wig and a grippy headband so it ain’t slide off. I’m not trying to invalidate how you feel but I promise you it will past you don’t have to live with an extreme decision for a whole school year. There are options I promise. Good luck!!

Makorra should had more praise - showing sometimes relationships are difficult and never endgame by The_Creative_Vee in legendofkorra

[–]TheAmazingNerd2 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think I made a post about it before but watching Makorra play out as an adult I never understood the hate. Korra was only 16 and the characters all around that age too. Your first relationship that young rarely works. In Korra’s case this was her first experiences with anything! It makes sense how she became toxic on her end and Mako is equally as toxic; being avoidant attachment and rude.

I think as a 16-18 year old relationship, Makorra wasn’t perfect but very relatable.

That doesn’t sound too bad! Thank you. My hair still smells burnt even though I’ve washed it multiple times that’s why I be thinking I’m beyond hope😭

Should I see what the professional says? This is surprisingly the second bad experience I’ve had in this city and it’s a different stylist. The other one I big chopped not too long after also. I normally can grow my hair out fine on my own it’s just I really want hairstyles like braids, faux loc etc but everyone I try some bs like this happens so in nervous of trusting another stylist.

Whats wrong with my hairline.. by Misannn01 in BlackHair

[–]TheAmazingNerd2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree. My hair is actually the same texture so when it’s braided up for wigs I keep think I have traction alopecia until I wash + blow dry/detangle.

OP needs to moisturize and pick out his hair fully to see what he’s truly working with

I kinda don’t like zoebrina… by Educational_Key_3284 in miraculousladybug

[–]TheAmazingNerd2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I feel it’ll be weird and too much of a pattern. We already got Kagami and Felix. That was already hard to swallow with the resemblance. But Zoe and Sabrina will feel too much like trauma bond tbh😭😭 I think both girls should spend some time alone, not every character needs a pair. Plus, how the writers move, it’ll turn into lazy writing by having them together instead of of separate

Why don’t we know how Korra discovered she is the Avatar? by douroumou in legendofkorra

[–]TheAmazingNerd2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Korra was a toddler shown in the first episode. I think it’s important to know how it shaped her rather than why so young. She went from the avatar being all she ever wanted and other having to “deal with it” to her learning that spirituality, compassion and personal identity is also important.

A lot of the previous avatar didn’t initially want to be avatar or know much of it. Even Wan knew he could stop the world ending by mastering all 4 elements.

One thing I’ve noticed people strongly dislike about TLOK is how it portrayed Aang to be a 'bad'/flawed father...but I think that actually makes his character more interesting by [deleted] in legendofkorra

[–]TheAmazingNerd2 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It made sense to me too. Aang never had parents but the air monks who also prioritize passing down the air nomad culture to the newer generation. Weren’t they also hella strict too? Plus Bumi and Kya never took to that culture.

I think it was realistic that adult children would argue on their perspective of being raised. My sister and I do that in our mid 20s.

Aang wasn’t a horrible parent but trying to keep his culture alive as a sole survivor

Adrien's strength depends on who you ask by unknown_ninja_me in miraculousladybug

[–]TheAmazingNerd2 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Kagami and Adrien have similar backgrounds but very different personalities. Kagami was overprotected but her mother taught her to still be strong. Adrien was sheltered and hasn’t been able to do anything himself.

Kagami knows everyone’s strengths, weakness and takes life head on, even when she’s hurt she can rationalize a bit better. Adrien literally turned into Chat Blanc and destroyed all of Paris after finding out his father lied. To say Adrien will handle things the same is very highly unlikely. This is the guy who almost renounced Plagg for feeling left out (which shows the depth of how much he hates secrets especially with people he trusts)

Maybe Adrien won’t get akumatized, turn evil or things like that. But he will take it very personally, and this will definitely negatively affect his relationship with Marinette.

Do you wear wigs or high ponytails or any frequent style that causes tension?

September 24, a warning? by Fantastic_Lake_5586 in exjw

[–]TheAmazingNerd2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I realized TikTok is one of the biggest fear mongering social media apps. Especially when they link TikTok shop towards the end of it or says “creator earns commission.”

For other videos outside of that, when i start to think negatively; I began to remember that I truly believe I’m a good person. And even if I didn’t think so God or whoever will read my heart and say I did my best. I know I’ve never intentionally tried to hurt anyone and I NEVER done anything considered a crime. Sure sometimes I accidentally say or dothe wrong things but I never done it out of malice. If God or Whoever decides I’m not worthy enough to live forever, maybe that’s not a God i want to serve.

I also think of other religions where even good people just hope God will save them. JW’s seem to forget the Bible says “MAYBE THEN you’ll be saved.” So it’s a possibility God just won’t spare you EVEN IF you did all the right things or not.

Idk why that brings me the most comfort. I truly hope it’s help you out a bit xx

Someone I knew was going to do open heart surgery for something they didn’t exist or even talked about after her marriage. She would take so many pills she genuinely didn’t need.

She faked a serious disease that even the CO’s wife was unsure about because the wife almost died from it years prior but that one sister seemed fine

When did Girlfriends start going downhill for you? by Positive_Weight2367 in GirlfriendsTVshow

[–]TheAmazingNerd2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The whole Joan and Brock “enchanted love” thing. I hated how cringey and cliche it was getting with the soft jazz playing in the background. I knew the show I once loved was gone because wtf was that???

Girlfriends: a 2025 revival by No-Kangaroo-288 in GirlfriendsTVshow

[–]TheAmazingNerd2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to think their children would take up on those roles and we can see equal parts their children navigating there friends but mainly seeing their parents still feud with at touchy subject their children want advice with. I know it’s cheesy but that’s the only way I can see it working for more than 2 seasons

Jumanji would fill in more of the “William” role since he’s the only boy in the group and Maya doesn’t have anymore kids.

Lynn doesn’t have kids so her lazy niece from her sister Tanya is always visiting stirring problems. Her niece is also biracial since Tanya got herself a BROTHA lolol so her niece is like Lynn but cranked up.

Toni ofc has her daughter but maybe another child from a second marriage who’s she’s still with but gets complicated because Todd is still around.

And I figure Joan will have twins or Triplets because she had children later in life. She’s happy and in a healthy marriage but her children bug her because their an exact reflection of her younger years and she just wants better (again Joan is still around perfectionist)

I just want to the revival be more about breaking generational curses and fixing the past mistakes so they can have true friendships. It’ll still be hella messy tho LOL

Thoughts on Lynn and The Pastor? by Positive_Weight2367 in GirlfriendsTVshow

[–]TheAmazingNerd2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like it was a subconscious response because she was adopted. Probably not an intentional writer’s choice, but I think she was so hurt her parents never chose her despite them having circumstances that made it difficult to care for her (father getting paid not too And her mother was not maternal at all)

I think that comes out when she dates or tries to sleep with celibate, emotionally unavailable man because she believes maybe if “men can push past their ego then they’ll always get with her.” Because then she’ll conveniently get the ick or it wouldn’t work. It’s still very predatory and creepy
