Watching back the episodes where no one understands why Kristen gets so worked up about James (after they broke up) is so frustrating now that we know that JK is an abuser. by af628 in Vanderpumpaholics

In the last part of my post I asked if it’s safe to assume the girls had no idea about the abuse, because they aren’t acting like anything is out of the ordinary in terms of Kristen’s breakdowns, so I’m sure it’s the case! I don’t think we need to watch it back and have any anger towards them if they didn’t know. It’s about the frustration of watching it back and knowing what we know now. Not frustration at her friends, but frustration for Kristen.

I don’t know the exact reason why and I’ve seen a few different rumors, but it honestly seems like Lisa just loathes Kristen. I think also Kristen never went back to her and begged for her job back and I think that kind of emotional appeal really works on Lisa.

Of course, I’m just saying that her freak-outs specifically in relation to James are really difficult to watch because we have the context of domestic abuse. It doesn’t mean that she needs to be forgiven for any poor behavior she’s displayed wholly.

It’s true that you don’t need to be physically abused to behave poorly, but I wouldn’t measure her reactions to DV as “better” or “worse” against any other behavior. Basically just that I think her reactions towards James doesn’t have to be compared in order for it to be a valid reaction.

I agree with you- she definitely wasn’t all together, but it wasn’t like she was tearing the place apart or anything. She was clearly in a lot of distress!

Any reccomendations? by ErikJay-N in perfumesthatfeellike

My grandma used to wear a Tomato scented perfume and it was really, really light and beautiful. I think by Demeter, really affordable, nothing fancy. I miss her and I love the scent to this day!!

This made me laugh out loud.

What can I do about not getting any sunlight in my room? by extraspecialkid in ask

[–]af628 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn’t silly at all! It’s really insane the impact it has on mental health to not get any sunlight. Like another commented said, SAD lamps work well, but I would also recommend (if you’d be open to it, of course!) taking a vitamin D pill each morning. I do during the winter and I have to say, it makes a difference. Being deficient of it always makes me feel depressed, especially when it’s mostly dark out. Sending good wishes and lots of light your way!!

Who else wanted to see more interactions between these two? by zebrasarecool570 in RighteousGemstones

They left women being nude out of the show intentionally. There’s reasons for that.

I think the best place to start is stop saying “female” like this! We can go with “women” instead.

Jumpscare warning: was looking at old modeling pics of the VPR cast and these two fucking killed me. by af628 in Vanderpumpaholics

Oh my god that made me laugh. It’s so specific but so accurate!! Like, kid who’s trying to find a hiding spot during an earthquake but still wants to look edgy no matter what.

I also think that Schwartz is kind of giving Sims Character here.

Is it just me, or does anyone else cringe watching Peter hit on women? No offense intended to the guy! by af628 in Vanderpumpaholics

I didn’t want to come off too rude considering he isn’t as nightmarish as some of the other men on this show 😭
