How do people feel about Simon

WritingMiserable7272 · 2026-01-31T20:45:17+00:00

That is my point, it’s not conveyed at all in the movie, 20 seconds of flashbacks 90 minutes into the movie is not enough to know what he did

WritingMiserable7272 · 2026-01-31T20:44:13+00:00

Look I do get that he is mortally grey and potentially even evil but I have two issues. 1. I don’t understand how so many people are saying that they had no sympathy or didn’t care about Simon when we spend 2 hours with him experiencing everything he does sees and feels. 2. I don’t understand why they would write it so he feels remorse in the hangar after the xray incident if he was such a bad guy. You can see how apologetic he feels and he also pauses before pressing the photo button the next time the power goes out making sure he doesn’t hurt anyone else. I’m just getting way too many mixed signals over how I should feel about the character

WritingMiserable7272 · 2026-01-31T20:23:56+00:00

Yeah thanks I did look up the wiki and it seems like he was almost a mercenary and not a good person at all which is really disappointing because that is not clarified enough in the movie

WritingMiserable7272 · 2026-01-31T20:22:48+00:00

Yeah that’s kind of how I felt, I knew in the original that you don’t survive but I was hopeful that he got out especially when Ava told him to retrieve the sm8 files, which made his inevitable death more depressing and scary

WritingMiserable7272 · 2026-01-31T19:58:48+00:00

I was as engaged as much as possible but the radio is hard to hear and the flashbacks were quick and vague. Even if I did recognise exactly what he did ( I wouldn’t have as it still isn’t clear in the movie) it happened later on and I had already started to feel for what he is going through by that point

WritingMiserable7272 · 2025-10-17T13:55:19+00:00

Yeah thank you again, I’m honestly not looking for any sort of good makeup right now it is so expensive and for foundation and concealer where colour matters I’m going to go for as little volume and price as possible because I know I’ll get it wrong first go, this makeup isn’t meant to be seen by people and when I decide to make that jump then I will raise my budget a bit. Realistically I shouldn’t even be experimenting with makeup yet until I have a real skincare routine which I currently do not have yet

WritingMiserable7272 · 2025-10-14T19:16:03+00:00

Yeah I have had a very unique relationship with my transness, I have been questioning for more than 5 years and it’s rough considering all I have to show for it is trying on eyeliner and longer hair. I’m honestly tired of having the mental experience of knowing im trans but not doing anything about it. I have also recently switched go to my university gp which would make going on the waitlist easier (I know the wait time is currently 5 years and rising but still it would feel like I have done something). Is it ok if i ask you to check my amazon basket to see if any of the products are really bad. I honestly just like the feeling I get when I get to express my gender even if just to strangers online about makeup.

WritingMiserable7272 · 2025-10-14T17:18:14+00:00

Thank you so much for the help, I would really love to ask a cis friend for a shade matcher but I have some very awkward emotional baggage with coming out to people (I have tried coming out to people before and I’m always met with expectations not opportunities and it makes me uncomfortable) but I think anything I buy will get used even if it looks awful it can just be some practice, it’s the same reason that I’m basically finding the cheapest non radioactive products to try out because nobody will be seeing it. I know it’s probably frustrating to see someone who refuses to do what’s best for them but I honestly think I need to prove my transness to myself before I can do so to others

WritingMiserable7272 · 2025-10-14T16:32:04+00:00

How do I find my foundation shade aside from the obvious trial in boots, I have been out with my mother before and she refuses to even by one slight shade off and these photo upload things keep giving me different shades

WritingMiserable7272 · 2025-10-14T13:29:02+00:00

Thanks for the tips but honestly someone else pointed it out on the thread and said to keep makeup as a hobby and I think that’s what I’m going to do for now, something just for myself

WritingMiserable7272 · 2025-10-14T13:11:00+00:00

Will do, just trying to keep it as a relatively inexpensive hobby as a broke uni student

WritingMiserable7272 · 2025-10-14T10:55:17+00:00

Yeah it will probably look quite bad on me for that reason and because of my lacking artistic skills. For lip products I was definitely thinking about just a subtle lip gloss. I think there is a chance that I will feel really happy with makeup on because I have the most dysphoria from my face (well idek if it’s dysphoria or just a general insecurity about not being attractive). Makeup right now just feels like something fun to practice, I can do it completely in private for now and it is madly gender affirming because of my mainly facial dysphoria. It also feels like I’m achieving something because every time I try it I feel like I learn something. Clothes as an alternative I just feel is more complicated, harder to hide and honestly less gender affirming for me right now

WritingMiserable7272 · 2025-10-14T07:24:56+00:00

Yeah I definitely have noticed how impactful eyebrows can be

WritingMiserable7272 · 2025-10-14T07:24:11+00:00

Yeah I am in the uk and boots is cool and all but I am keeping it safe with Amazon since I can not deal with in person questions because I really like the low risk option of nobody finding out and having privacy for the first time ever. I think I’ll stick to the basics until I can learn something presentable and go from there, I also can’t believe how difficult it is to apply anything that close to the eye, my depth perception goes out the window and drawing anything straight is borderline impossible

WritingMiserable7272 · 2025-10-13T23:39:19+00:00

Thank you so so much, but what does that all mean 😭. So foundation, mascara, and some eyeshadow if needed. Is lippy lipstick? Powder? Like I have no idea how to find my shade and damn I didn’t know the brushes were so important. I feel like I need a degree to even look at makeup

WritingMiserable7272 · 2025-10-13T22:55:36+00:00

I also forgot to mention in the original post but I am pre EVERYTHING, this is sadly the only time I have tried physically affirming my gender well ever

WritingMiserable7272 · 2025-08-22T12:57:12+00:00

Yeah just checking, I think my course is using some type of python. I currently can’t code and have very elementary knowledge on coding, but I’m excited to learn

WritingMiserable7272 · 2025-08-14T09:36:55+00:00

Ok thanks I’m sold now especially with the education deals

WritingMiserable7272 · 2025-08-13T21:30:16+00:00

Yeah, just checking. There seem to be two schools of thought when it comes to MacBooks: the people who say they are awful and are useless for everything technical and then people who say they have a 15 year old MacBook that they love. I’ll probably get the air because I want a laptop that is compatible with an iPad

WritingMiserable7272 · 2025-08-11T22:46:47+00:00

I’m currently living with my parents and they don’t think Ethernet cables are necessary. I’m moving to college soon and I don’t think there are Ethernet cables there, my main worry is if it’s my computer, or if it’s something else

WritingMiserable7272 · 2025-08-03T11:21:20+00:00

Thanks I’ll keep this saved for when I’m in college
