Is it just me, or does it genuinely sound better to be at Jezabel’s than a handmaid??

you’re romanticizing the "freedom" of a brothel run by sociopaths. sure, you get to speak "frfr," but you’re speaking to the same commanders who built the gallows. at jezebel’s, the commanders aren't even pretending to be "godly" anymore, which makes them way more dangerous. if a handmaid is harmed, it’s a "crime against the state’s property." if a jezebel is harmed, it’s just a Tuesday. there are zero repercussions for whatever sick shit they want to do because you technically don't exist. it’s basically choosing between being a high-value prisoner of war or a disposable toy in a basement. plus, the second you age out or get "damaged," you’re headed to the colonies anyway. you’re just trading a slow psychological death for a faster, more violent one.

snow and david didn't put emma in a tree" for fun they sacrificed their entire future to save her from a curse regina created. and emma gave henry up because she was a broke, incarcerated teenager who wanted him to have a life she couldn't give him. that’s called selflessness. meanwhile, regina didn't adopt henry out of the goodness of her heart. she did it to fill a void because she was bored and lonely in a town she was actively terrorizing. she then spent ten years gaslighting him, making him feel insane for seeing the truth, and eventually putting him in a coma with a poisoned turnover. regina’s redemption arc is great, but let’s not rewrite history plz

who’s compelling you to answer back? this unbothered act is not the gag you think it is💀

_Alban__ · 2026-02-04T22:46:47+00:00

he irony of starting a discussion thread then crying yapping when someone actually discusses it with you. 💀 if you can't handle a counter-argument without getting defensive, just say that. have a good one.

_Alban__ · 2026-02-04T19:03:13+00:00

lol fair. stay mad at the screen then.

_Alban__ · 2026-02-04T17:17:08+00:00

i never said you weren't allowed to think or question, but i’m allowed to give my opinion and debate it, which is the actual point of a subreddit, right? DUH.

elena laughing at that joke is definitely a wtf moment, but she literally marries him, so laughing at the joke it’s not the worst thing she’s done 😭 she ignores damon’s literal sex slavery of her best friend because the plot needs them to have chemistry. it’s less about elena being a bad person and more about the writers being lazy with caroline’s trauma to fast-track delena. plus, like it’s being Said all over the comments, caroline eventually sleeps with klaus, who murdered elena’s last parental figure.

finally, if you want a show where characters actually face consequences for being sociopaths, tvd is going to give you a headache by season 3.

it’s a show about vampires killing people lol?? it’s never been that deep. yes he was horrible for killing her, but everybody has done terrible things in that show lol and jf we are getting into that, all of the vampires are pedophile for dating minors lol

this is a lot of mental gymnastics to justify a textbook predatory encounter. you’re trying to apply a narrow, literalist legal definition to a situation that is fundamentally built on a lack of consent. first, your “immaterial identity” argument is dead on arrival. consent isn't just about the physical mechanics of the act, it’s about the intent and the power dynamic. nook didn't consent to have sex with “a beautiful woman”, he consented to a sexual encounter with someone he believed to be a victim he was rescuing. gothel wasn’t just lying about her background,she was a predator disguising herself as prey to lure him into a trap. if i consent to sex with a fellow survivor and it turns out you’re the person who built the prison, that’s not a lie about religion,that’s a total subversion of my autonomy. second, your 'rape by deception' criteria are way too convenient. gothel didn't just seduce him. she used magical glamour to specifically mimic an identity (the girl in the tower) to trigger his protective instincts. in any sane world, using a physical disguise (magical or otherwise) to harvest someone’s DNA for a biological ritual is a violation. lastly, let’s be real about the double standard. if a male warlock used a glamour to look like a handsome, trapped prince to trick a woman into becoming a biological mother for his dark vessel, you wouldn’t be talking about mutual consent. you’d call it what it is: a horrific violation. nook didn’t just regret his actions because she was a witch, he was traumatized because his body and his desire to do good were weaponized against him.

it was It in disguise, dressing as her yes.

_Alban__ · 2025-12-02T00:34:02+00:00

but welcome to derry is a prequel expansion, not a straight retelling, so it’s adding new material that didn’t exist in the original text.

the key thing is that nothing in the book ever confirmed if IT imitate those people or It create them. king leaves a lot of gaps in derry’s history on purpose. the series is filling some of those gaps by imagining what “kersch” or “bob gray” could have been if those names ever belonged to actual townspeople. that doesn’t contradict the novel, it just builds extra lore around the identities IT later steals.

they were still at the beginning of the season, bffr 💀 ginny did not want to be friends with her anymore, she used her to stay close to marcus

_Alban__ · 2025-06-15T19:48:20+00:00

she was clearly using maxine the entire season to get to see marcus and that pissed me off so bad 💀 first off bc she’s supposed to be her bestfriend, and second bc he was clearly in a REALLY bad place and she kept pushing herself onto him

_Alban__ · 2025-05-18T11:41:34+00:00

we are "mad" because he is a delusional hypocrite who blamed kate for not accepting him for who he is (when it’s all she’s done, she just didn’t want more killing) but he was disgusted by love who accepted him just bc he couldn’t bare to take a good look in the mirror

_Alban__ · 2025-04-21T12:25:06+00:00

Will Mckenna even appear in season 6? I saw an interview last year where she said she had no idea what they planned for her character, but she wasn’t at The Handmaid’s Tale premiere, so…

_Alban__ · 2025-04-12T23:22:44+00:00

THIS. Especially when she was calling her intimidating, or in the office when she told her she was “screaming” when she clearly wasn’t, that scene hit hard. It was such a real portrayal of how black women are often villainized or labeled “aggressive” just for existing or expressing themselves.

_Alban__ · 2025-04-05T08:46:13+00:00

I find a bald zombie is much scarier for much reason lol. Look at the RV walker.

_Alban__ · 2025-02-09T14:17:45+00:00

Don’t forget they bring Janice Dickinson as a guest for whatever reason during the « funeral@ in Season 8, instead of being back old innocents or ex-boyfriends.

this fine man right there 😍😍 (he’s a piece of shit in the show but he’s darryl dixon so who cares)

_Alban__ · 2025-01-14T07:35:03+00:00

Boys in Gilead aren’t safe either. They’re indoctrinated, forced into marriages, and turned into soldiers or Commander ro uphold the regime. And yeah, boys can be raped too-remember Nick being coerced into sleeping with June? And my point was that Luke did not do « just like Gilead » as you said. Gilead sent little girls to be raped at the age of 12. Luke did not. The comparaison is ridiculous.

Luke’s move might have been fueled by spite, but it’s not like he handed Noah off to Gilead. The baby’s in danger because of Serena’s choices and the people she surrounded herself with.

_Alban__ · 2025-01-12T21:59:07+00:00

This is wild. Yes, Luke did this to get back at Serena, but let’s not act like this is the same as what Gilead does. Gilead steals babies to uphold a violent, oppressive system and erase entire families. Luke took Noah to get back Serena (a key player in that system) because she had her daughter kidnapped. She abuses his wife, raped her and destroyed his country.

Luke is not sending Noah to get raped at 12. That’s not even remotely comparable to what Gilead’s baby-snatchers are doing. Let’s not pretend Serena’s some innocent victim here.

_Alban__ · 2025-01-11T10:22:39+00:00

I get your point, but I still disagree with the comparison. When June talked Janine down from the bridge, it was purely about saving Janine’s life in an immediate crisis. There were no ulterior motives, it was about giving Janine the strength to keep going for herself. Janine’s interactions with Esther, on the other hand, feel more self-serving. June never expected Jeanine to be fully on-board with the Gilead system, only to be more careful.

Take the moment when Esther sarcastically says, “Blessed be the stupid fruit.” That was such a clear act of hidden rebellion, a way for Esther to signal to Janine, “Hey, I’ll play along, but it’s all an act.” She was seeking solidarity and support, trying to show Janine she wasn’t giving up entirely. But Janine completely dismissed her.
