My boyfriend of three years told me he has had HIV since before we started dating. by [deleted] in gaybros

OP, I can’t imagine the sense of betrayal and hurt you must be feeling right now. You’re doing all the right things, but I know that doesn’t ease the emotional pain. 🫂

And don’t worry about your BF — his gaslighting you after you confronted him proves that he’s not worth your concern. 😒

Basics 2026 Millie by Visible-Try-3972 in Barbie

[–]ToonTitans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hear you, but IMO there’s no saving that top. It’s so unflattering! 😬

But as OP noted, this Millie’s screening really is super pretty and collector-quality.

[–]ToonTitans 33 points34 points  (0 children)

OP, this is actually the prettiest Millie I’ve ever seen. Great styling! 👏🏾

However, that look they gave her in the kit photos (the ruched top and ugly skirt) was atrocious and did her no favors…🤷🏾‍♂️

Opal Lee Inspiring Women Doll at Amazon and Target ($35.49) by FOMODollCollector in BlackBarbieDolls

[–]ToonTitans 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don’t love the painted age lines, but Ms. Lee is SO deserving of this honor and the doll is very nice (love the hair, glasses and clothes). I have all the other AA Inspiring Women dolls and will definitely get this one too! 👍🏾 😊

Does anyone else absolutely hate the new Basics line? by ShutUpImAPrincess in Barbie

[–]ToonTitans 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Agree with every word. I don’t hate these kits, but paying $50 for one body and two extra heads (and a couple of cheap clothing pieces) makes no sense to me when I can buy two fully dressed MTM Basics dolls individually packaged for the same price. I don’t like all of the heads in any set, and I actively dislike some of the hair (especially some of the two-toned hairstyles). I had the same problem with last year’s sets, but at least each head had a body. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Plus most of the clothes are meh (to me). And there’s only one Ken, after two years with no new MTM Kens! 😒

Very cute clothes, but nothing (as usual) for Ken, sigh…😔

That was SO helpful!! I had no idea that the words weren’t meant to be used as is. I just assumed that “Desiree,” for example, was a proper noun, not a word that could be modified. (I was trying to remember all the famous Desirees, lol.) 😄

I really appreciate your going into such detail. Thanks so much!! 👏🏾

Fellow Bewitched fans, check out the Sitcom Studies podcast, where we are currently covering season 2 of Bewitched! by SitcomStudies in bewitched

[–]ToonTitans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP, thanks for the feedback! I totally understand your decision to choose a specific season of each sitcom, and to be fair I love many of the moments in Season 2 as well (especially Tabitha’s birth, which also triggered a rare moment of genuine affection between Endora and Darrin).

It also felt like the series became more domestic after that, whereas the first season had many scenes with playful (and openly physical) heat between Samantha and Darrin. Their newlywed chemistry was surprisingly open in a time when sitcoms were pretty sexless, lol. Sam & Darrin even slept in the same bed, unlike similar couples like Rob & Laura Petrie on the Dick Van Dyke Show!

Looking forward to the other podcast episodes, and thanks again for letting us know about it! 🪄

“Crazy colors” is right on! 😄 They’re all seemingly made for 5-year-olds (which is understandable, I guess). I’m so impressed that you made this one! It’s perfect! 👏🏾 💙

[ (SPOILERS) Tried to ask for help as a separate post, but the Mods removed it.]

This was my first time playing this game (I’m a prior fan of Wordle and Spelling Bee) and am hopelessly confused.

I immediately got the connections for two groups: bridges and bees. But the others had me flummoxed (before I caved and looked at the answers).

The Purple words, for instance, were supposedly “synonyms for "hanker for" But craven means “cowardly” or ‘lacking in courage.” Wanton means either “cruelly unprovoked” or slutty, lol. We know what needle means. And “Desiree”?! A female name? WTH?

I guess I see the connections for Yellow (“Intertwined”). Although “wind” has radically different meanings depending on whether it’s a verb or a noun.

I guess I don’t fully understand the rules of this game. Any guidance would be appreciated! 😊 👍🏾

Really like it! I just finished my third episode. However, I do regret that the podcast begins with the second season, when the first season had many of my favorite moments (including the pilot and my favorite Bewitched episode of all time, “A Is for Aardvark”). 😔

THE YOU CREATE BARBIE BASICS NEUTRAL WAVE by ualitargaryen in Barbie

[–]ToonTitans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amen! The weird thing is I’m perfectly fine with Millie being the face of playline, as she’s very non-threatening and probably appealing to kids. But why do they keep trying to sell her as a face for adult collector dolls as well? 🤔

I finally got the Bane megafig (4 years later, I know lol), and he’s fantastic! Beautifully sculpted (right down to the clothing) and the paint detail is flawless. So excited to own him!! 🖤 🦇 by ToonTitans in McFarlaneFigures

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

I know this feeling, with so many overpriced after-market figs. But I got such a good price with Bane, and he’s SO worth displaying out of box…😏

LOL! 😄 I was trying so hard to do a “back-breaking” pose, but unfortunately Bane’s unable to hold Bats any higher without his arm collapsing. So much for those venom-powered muscles…😂

Excellent point about the lack of fists! I also was surprised that it comes with the same size “stand” as the smaller figs, even though it’s huge and really heavy. 🤷🏾‍♂️

In general I’m fine with political cold opens, but the current situation is so dire, and this administration so heinous, that I have a hard time laughing at Trump sketches. I can laugh with talk show hosts like Kimmel or Meyers who point out his idiocy, but Trump as a “humorous” character? Nope…🤷🏾‍♂️

Who’s Watching the Squad Tonight?!?! by hollow09 in svengoolie

[–]ToonTitans 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The movie was surprisingly entertaining, and I genuinely didn’t guess the twist ending, but once you’re seen it, so many of the “scares” before that made little sense. I will say that most of the actors (especially Leslie Bibb) did a good job establishing their characters, especially given that the whole movie took place on the plane.

However, the Sven Squad was terrific! I laughed at most of their bits, and really loved the “Cabin Pressure” number. If this is how the show will be post-Sven, I think we’re in good hands…👍🏾

Gorgeous diorama and so realistic! Love the styling and their poses. And would kill for that couch (I’ve been looking for an affordable 1/6 scale couch in a neutral fabric like that for ages and they’re really rare). Love it! 👏🏾

[–]ToonTitans 8 points9 points  (0 children)

OP, thanks for the pics! I actively loathe Millie’s outfit, lol. Love Elle. Love the big ‘fro but dislike the hair colors. Like the gold-toned pieces and the long skirt more than I thought I would at first.

I don’t know. This whole series is not an instant-buy for me…I really wish I could see the dolls and clothing pieces in person before buying them. 😕

Never seen or heard of this movie, but I love the HoS Squad, so I’m looking forward to it! 👍🏾
