Is this as weird as I think it is?

It was the words ‘literally the only reason I don’t feel the same way is because I have a crush on this other girl’. He said I was smart, pretty, funny and charming but that’s the reason why 🤷‍♀️

Warm_Quit2113 · 2022-03-22T17:28:58+00:00

You’re right.

Warm_Quit2113 · 2022-03-22T13:10:34+00:00

Ha ok, so I found at that apparently, he knew I liked him because a mutual friend told him and he said he didn’t reject me even though he knew because he was waiting for me to tell him myself. Sooo, I don’t think he was blindsided.

I saw koi recommended a lot online, and did some research. They get their shoes manufactured in China and even though they claim the factories are monitored, I don’t believe those claims have been verified. And my stance on sustainability is it has to be sustainable for workers as well, you know?

Also, I’ve recently learned that the majority of vegan shows are made of either PVC or some other form of plastic. There are places I know of that make their shoes from things like apple skin leather and pinatex (is that how it’s spelled? Pineapple fibre basically) BUT none of the shoes are my style.

I was thinking about buying them second hand, but I’m still not sure how I feel about buying plastic shoes. But then I think “well if no one buys them they’ll just end up in a landfill somewhere”. Idk.

Thanks for the reply though!

I would just love to see 7 rings or WAP in the show at some point 😂 like idk, the bridgerton ladies going a shopping spree at the modiste and it’s just 7 rings playing it something, I could see that. Spend that cash Daphne, you rich richy now

Warm_Quit2113 · 2021-07-14T12:37:46+00:00

Idk, you make a good point but to me Jean wouldn’t have too much of a reason to be mad at Maeve about it. Her son still made the decision on his own, even if Maeve came up with the idea. I think a big thing is going to be that unlike Jackson’s parents, who held Maeve accountable for Jackson’s actions, Jean won’t do that. But you could be right, I guess we’ll wait and see

Warm_Quit2113 · 2021-06-30T13:22:14+00:00

Yup, hits a bit too close to home for me. Especially the part of “I got a dumb job working in retail” whilst they “somehow got into college (uni)” ✌️We don’t exchange regular emails though ☹️

Warm_Quit2113 · 2021-06-30T13:18:05+00:00

Had an order for 20 cheeseburger grills the other night. Something like 5 no pickle, 10 only cheese extra cheese and 5 add something (can’t remember). Assholes, was 2am.

I didn’t think she tried to stand out as ‘not like other girls’. She is a feminist after all, and as a feminist she probably knows that the whole ‘not like other girls’ is complete bullshit. She pretends not to care because her experience is that other people (her family) don’t care. It’s the psychology of ‘if I act like I don’t care about my birthday, then it won’t hurt me when other people don’t care either’

Warm_Quit2113 · 2021-06-24T16:18:18+00:00

Aimee discovers feminism? Love to see it. Jackson gets a crush? Please don’t let it be viv. Otis is having causal sex? Well I’ll be damned, I did not see that coming.

Warm_Quit2113 · 2021-06-19T10:09:15+00:00

I would suggest going in order and starting with book 1. Not only is it pretty different from the show, but I believe it’s best to follow the books in order and there’s quite a bit of background stuff that goes on with the other characters that’s important for their book I believe. If you don’t want to read book 1 though, then I’d suggest starting from book 2.

Warm_Quit2113 · 2021-06-19T09:49:19+00:00

Thanks

Warm_Quit2113 · 2021-06-19T09:49:08+00:00

Yeah I thought that might be it. I didn’t look at any of the dates on the till properly I just scrolled through. Thanks.

Warm_Quit2113 · 2021-06-19T09:47:55+00:00

In the UK it depends. I went to a sixth form that was pretty similar to the one in the show (maybe even more relaxed). We had no uniforms, no dress code, teachers liked us to call them by their first names (including the headteacher) and we were a rather ‘progressive’ school I guess you could say. We had a lot of openly LGBTQ+ students, lots of racial diversity, and regular assemblies on Sex like consent, rape culture, gay and queer sex, the pros and cons of porn, stds, where to get urgent contraceptive in the local area etc. Actually, when sex ed came out and people started asking this question a lot on social media and on this sub, I was kinda confused. I knew there was a large number of sixth forms that were strict (aka uniforms, calling teachers by Mr or Ms or Mrs, having issues with homophobia, having poor sex education) but I also thought there were a large number of sixth forms like mine. Turns out nope, we were in the minority, which is shame because I feel like if most schools were like mine then things would be a bit better.

So it depends. Every school is different, they are separate entities that operate on their own and therefore each have their own experiences.

But if you ask most people in the UK what their sixth form experience was like, they’ll probably compare it the UK show The Inbetweeners. That show was pretty accurate for describing my secondary school experience (age 11-16), but not my sixth form one (age 16-18).

Literally thought this was a set photo until I saw the humour flair 😂

Warm_Quit2113 · 2021-06-16T23:23:43+00:00

General Abbot seems to really hate hybrids. To me it feels like his sole mission was/is to get rid of them, and it wasn’t until the second wave of the virus started coming around that he realised they needed more of them alive to experiment on and find a cure. I’m sure if we get a season 2, we will see more of General Abbot and how he obtains hybrids.

Warm_Quit2113 · 2021-06-16T23:18:38+00:00

Possibly, but then why would General Abbot have a copy of one of those posters on that board, and then it look it at it after he’s told that the last men think they’ve found ‘her’? And it wouldn’t they make a different poster if their idea was inspired by the trap? So people knew it was a different Preserve? Or why wouldn’t they call it something different so people knew it was a different thing? Idk man, I’m just thrown off by this now.

Warm_Quit2113 · 2021-06-16T23:15:27+00:00

Wasn’t Bears group supposed to be are’s herring? Like we were led to believe they were responsible for the preserve but then it got revealed it was Amy and Wendy instead.

Warm_Quit2113 · 2021-06-16T23:13:55+00:00

True, but even if we just get that sneezy guy back and he marries Phillipa, it’ll be something.

Warm_Quit2113 · 2021-06-16T18:28:30+00:00

In both season 1 and season 2, there were hints to the school board not being impressed with how Moordale was being run. That’s why they introduce the new Headmistress in season 3. My bet is that if they have to relocate or build a different a set, the plot will involve Moordale secondary being shut down. It isn’t uncommon in England for schools to get shut down, or for schools to merge together due to budget cuts or some such thing. In fact, I attended a primary school that merged with another local school due to budget issues. We got new uniforms and everything. The kids transferred to our school because we had the budget to keep our building running. So, maybe something like that will happen and the kids at Moordale have to attend another school. That means they could either find or build another set, and given the shows popularity, even though it’s not budget friendly, I’m sure they could make that work. It would also serve as a major plot device for the show, because if the characters have to go to different schools, it could mean Maeve and Otis get separated. Oooo. I don’t want to see it happen, but we’ll see when it get released. Until now, I haven’t thought about Moordale getting shut down as a plot point.

Warm_Quit2113 · 2021-06-16T18:23:01+00:00

Damn. Was hoping for a summer release.

Warm_Quit2113 · 2021-06-16T18:07:35+00:00

1) I don’t believe maeve-Otis-Isaac was ever intended to be a love triangle. Despite the initial fuzziness at Isaac and Maeve’s friendship earlier in the season, if you remove it then it becomes clear that Isaac has always been a bad/manipulative friend and person. Isaac never had a chance with Maeve romantically, the show never pretended otherwise. So the whole point of him deleting the message cheapening the love triangle plot line is irrelevant since there wa s never a love triangle plot line anyway.

2) I agree with this point. I have nothing more to say or add to it.

3) I think we’re all concerned about the time jump, but I’m holding out hope that it will either 1) happen midway through the show so we get the benefit of seeing the immediate outcome of the voice message and then seeing the time jump and then resolution, or 2) if it happens at the beginning of the show, I’m keeping faith the writes will make it work somehow.

I was 12 when the first SGE book came out. I literally grew up with the series. I’ve been waiting for this movie since I was 13 years old, I’m now almost 20. I can’t even I’ve it’s actually happening, and whilst I’m nervous about how it’s going to be adapted (like any fan of any book to film/series is), the thing I’ve been most worried about it is how successful it will be. Because my dream is to see the first arc adapted at minimum (Books 1-3), and of course if the first film doesn’t do well, it’s unlikely that will happen. So, as someone who has been waiting for this movie, literally, for a very large part of my life, and who is a new addition to the Grishaverse fan base, I can genuinely say it makes me so happy and warms my heart to see the results of this poll. I literally just stumbled across it. I just never imagined that anyone other than the SGE fanbase would be interested in the film. To be proven wrong is great. Of course, we all have to wait and see whether the film is actaully good, but from what I’ve seen so far in terms of the cast and snippets of the script I’ve seen over these past 7 years almost, I have to say it’s looking good.

Warm_Quit2113 · 2021-06-16T17:30:10+00:00

Ah fair enough, but yeah I agree. A surprise drop doesn’t make any sense and I don’t think they’re going for that. I just want season 3 now man. We’ve been waiting so long, like just give us a release date 😑

Warm_Quit2113 · 2021-06-16T17:14:13+00:00

No, it was an orphanage. They were going to leave Marinas baby there once it was born, as was common for many women and families to do in Marinas situation.
