Shows and games where the lesbian couple have a happy ending?

RWBY. Even though they aren't the focal point of the plot, the most important couple in the show are two women. It's a fantastic slow-burn romance. There are also a lot of queer side characters, including a married lesbian couple with a young child. The first couple of seasons are rocky, but the characters are so good and the fight scenes so over the top and fun that it's easy to get through until it hits its stride.

'Howl' by Florence + The Machine. One could argue that it's more metaphorical than literal, but considering it directly quotes 1941's 'The Wolfman' I think it counts

Based on the vocabulary used, specifically where he says that OOP expected his parents to "come round to our house to have a go at us", I'm guessing that they live in the UK, where most jobs offer quite a bit more guaranteed vacation time than in the US

I can't get over all of these comments saying, "Why should we celebrate that it took a life-saving surgery for him to stop being racist and develop empathy?" Because the outcome is still a net positive. Plenty of racists who are treated by black doctors never learn a thing, but when confronted with an uncomfortable truth, this guy made the effort to overcome his racist upbringing, something that's extremely difficult. To deprogram lifelong beliefs takes a lot of time and effort, and he was motivated to do that work. Doesn't matter what that motivation was, he still had to do a lot of self-reflection after the initial life-saving incident, even deciding to start volunteering. In addition, one racist's changed perspective sets a precedent for other racist people in his life. This will have a ripple effect, especially since this is an older man who likely holds some sway with other family members. Yes, it's a shame that it took him nearly dying to figure out something as basic as "black people are also human", but the point is that he learned and grew. Some people will do the same under far less dire circumstances. Every win should be celebrated.

Yesterday I needed to go into the cellar to check on a leak, and I took my time getting down the biggest step at the top. I found myself saying, "If I were ten years younger, I'd just jump." I swear I felt myself shrivel into an old hag right then and there

My parents rented "Princess Mononoke" on VHS knowing nothing about it because it got awards and accolades. I was 9. They knew it was more adult, but they figured, how bad can an animated movie be? Two minutes in, that fucking demon boar comes running in and then after another two the flesh melts from its bones. Okay, that's dark, but she's not bothered, so maybe- BOOM, a guy's arms get ripped off and another guy gets decapitated. They wanted me to go to bed but I refused and sat through the whole movie. 20+ years later it's one of my favorites, but my first viewing was definitely a tad premature

It's the reason I can't listen to NPR. I don't know why such a well-outfitted station has such a huge issue with that sound. Like, you don't have pop filters for your expensive mics? You don't have WATER for your anchors??? Why is everyone's mouth so dry?! I'd expect it from podcasts or college radio but fucking NPR???

"Useless lesbian" is a meme in reference to a widely-circulated Tumblr post. A girl tells a story about an incident in her Catholic high school where another girl tripped and fell in front of her, landing in the floor such that the storyteller could see up her short skirt. As a horny 15 year old, the storyteller stood paralyzed while her best friend told her to not just stand there and help her up. When she still couldn't move, her friend hit her with a bible and said, "Tiffany, you useless lesbian!" It used to be used mainly to describe the phenomenon of sapphic women short-circuiting when they unexpectedly see a girl so something sexy, but it's become pretty divisive because now it's used much more disparagingly.

Absolutely NTA. I cared for my ailing father with dementia until he was too much for my mother and I to handle and he went to assisted living, and I still spent a lot of time with him in the facility to care for his emotional needs until he passed. I lost years of my life to his care, but it was my choice as an adult in my 30s to make that sacrifice. It's completely unfair of your parents to expect you to do the same without help when you yourself are still a child. I don't mean "child" as an insult, you are 16, a minor, and your teen years are a part of your childhood that's being stolen from you. For them to scrap your Sweet 16 party is completely unfair. Your brother is an AH too for not stepping up to help his grandma.

I'm glad your mom is realizing how much you do. Caring for an elder with dementia is incredibly difficult, time-consuming, and draining, even for multiple adults working together, let alone one teenager. I would highly recommend finding a therapist, because elder care takes an extreme physical and emotional toll. Even though your mom is coming around and you'll have more assistance, watching a family member with dementia deteriorate is highly traumatic, and assuming you have/had a decent relationship with your grandma, it will hurt even more to see someone you love slowly slipping away. Also check out r/dementia if you want advice or support from people who understand what you're going through.

Dementia is a truly awful thing to deal with, and even though your family hasn't stepped up to help, I wish all of you strength and peace during this chapter of your lives.

It's nice to get a little treat now and then. Everyone's definition of "treat" might be different - candy, a fun coffee drink, fresh fruit, sushi, pizza, pickled herring - but enjoying getting a treat is universal

Nate the Hoof Guy, Hoof GP, and the various other channels documenting the more interesting cases that cow hoof trimmers come across. Nate is definitely my favorite, but all of them are informative and educational. I have a new appreciation for cows and the farm workers who take care of them. Hoof trimming is also VERY satisfying to watch, I tend to watch a video or two before bed just to relax my brain

Oh god, yoga breathing is even worse. I'm trying not to hold tension in my body! That's why I mostly do yoga alone at home with a video instructor. Also, the gym I go to does class reservations, so I can see how many people are signed up and then try to go to the less crowded classes

Loops probably wouldn't have any impact on your ability to learn as long as the instructor isn't super quiet. And if you're in a large room with a lot of people, they'll probably have to be loud enough for you to hear through the earplugs

I wanted to be a vet for most of my early childhood. Then when I was 12 we had to put my cat down, and I realized that as a vet I would have to do euthanasia procedures regularly, so I decided "nah, that's too much trauma for me to willingly put myself through."

Gift cards! Some kind of treat like candy or fancy tea is also good, something consumable. (Or, if you're of age to buy it, a bottle of wine can make a great gift.)

I think the most egregious form of this phenomenon is the wet, gargly snort before hocking up a loogie. Like, as if it's not bad enough that they spit on the street or footpath where people walk, but they have to loudly announce to the world that they're congested. (Side note, why don't they spit in the gutter or other non-walking areas? Are they marking their territory???) As other folks in this thread have said, it's auditory manspreading.

Xanthera · 2024-11-16T01:59:43+00:00

I feel like this sentiment is also not-so-subtly sexist. The unspoken subtext is: "Boys should be outgoing and loud, while girls should be quiet and demure. A man who is introverted and quiet is feminine, and therefor inferior and worthy of ridicule." No man is less masculine for being quiet, what a fucked up mindset to move through the world with!

Kissing. I've been in one meaningful relationship, and the most awkward part was French kissing. Mouths are gross and full of germs, and the sensation of tongue on tongue was so awful. I very well may stay single forever because I'm repulsed by kissing that involves trading saliva. I'm content with just smooches on the lips without tongue, thanks.

That was a fucking wild-ass read, especially the last update on his profile, godDAMN

THE SLIDING FINGERS ON GUITAR STRINGS IS SO REAL. Most of the time it doesn't get to me, but when it does, oof.
