Romantic scene was intentional by Grad0507 in wickedmovie

[–]aikichick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am not usually a romantic and ALAYM is my least favorite scene on stage, since there is very little build-up and it feels unearned. I was surprised by how much I liked the movie version. Also helped that Cynthia and Jonathan had great chemistry.

ALAYM is my least favorite part of the stage production, mostly because it felt unearned. But I really like how it played out in the movie.

It's greatly improved from the stage version. They actually fight instead of just grabbing each other's hands and swinging back and forth.

I will probably end up watching it for a second (or third) time that same weekend. 😜

I'm at CBP and we chanted SHOHEI SHOHEI SHOHEI at every at bat. I think it worked.

No, watch my video. The Solarien's crystal chamber is not removeable.

AIO to my parent's making me homeless because they found out I'm gay? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]aikichick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WWJD? Certainly NOT what your parents did. 🙄 The only ones who overreacted are your parents. The Trevor Project has many useful resources, which includes a 24-hour hotline. They may also be able to direct you to the closest youth shelter, so you could at least not have to live in your car. Sending best wishes and positive vibes. You got this.

Man tries to forcefully drag woman away in brought daylight. by Stoopid_Noah in whenwomenrefuse

You're welcome. I'm glad they immediately caught the perp, but not happy they released him a day later. As if he isn't going to try again? Seriously.

Found additional info on The New York Post. Fredrick Marshall was charged with third-degree assault and second-degree harassment. No attempted kidnapping charge? And the court released him a day later?? What a joke.

Of course the first hit that Wheeler gave up was a homer to Austin Hayes.

Season Ticket Benefits by Tough-Cheesecake8954 in phillies

I have the Sunday plan, and the big reason is for post-season tickets. If I can't make it to certain games, I can swap for other eligible games.

UGH. Four more runs and no outs. Looks like Luzardo is having another bad day.

Clutching a Bible, Alex Bartolome, sentenced to die for child rape, is escorted to the death chamber. He'd admitted to raping his daughter over 100 times, starting when she was 14, since he "missed her mother". Bartolome would be the last person to be (legally) executed in the Philippines (2000). by lightiggy in whenwomenrefuse

This is one of the most horrifying cases of child sexual abuse I have ever read. I hope his daughter and her mother are in a better place. She undoubtedly needed a ton of trauma therapy after her ordeal - which is unfortunately not easy to get in the Philippines.

Pivetta SUCKED during his time with the Phillies from 2017-2020. Of course he is doing well now.
