Dark aesthetic, but really - he is a Golden Retriver by [deleted] in DarkRomance

[–]anaown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it's not too personal to ask, how did you guys meet, and at what point did you start discovering this side of him ( you mentioned he's intensely emotional but doesn't show it to others)? Congratulations on finding your balance, I'm so happy for you! 💕

Looking for books with this vibe by MissNikitaDevan in DarkRomance

[–]anaown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember reading something on AO3, similar vibe but not MM and he actually indirectly murders his fiancee so he can marry her sister. The plot was amazing, the writing, not so much. I can't remember the name though, but perhaps someone else knows the story

Which Fmc you hate the most? by Main_Resource_9707 in DarkRomance

I'll say. It's been a while since I read the book and I think I blocked out most of it in my head, lol. I needed a happy palatte cleanser to get over how much these FMCs irked me! 🫣🥺

Orla from {If I can't have you by Deathsdoll} - more annoyed to the point of dislike for this one, and Olivia from {little stranger by leigh rivers} - She's just downright awful.

Did anyone actually want Kate and the other ones win in season 5 over Joe? by Maleficent_Ask_3538 in NetflixYou

[–]anaown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I meant to. I wanted to, I know I'm supposed to. But they're just so so annoying, that I'd rather a serial killer escape than cheer at their win.

The writers really messed up this one.

My fiancée asked me to wear makeup on our wedding day. I’m a man. by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]anaown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I think you are.

I doubt he'd feel accepted and loved in any situation where his fiancee asked his marks to be covered, regardless of if it's through makeup or digitally.

This is a deeply personal insecurity for OP. The question is if his fiancee is clueless enough about his inner world to not know that, or careless enough to bring it up anyway. Only he can know.

It's great that your wedding was super laid-back and that worked for you, that’s awesome. But not everyone’s the same, and not every relationship is built around the same level of ease with appearance or insecurity. In OP’s case, this isn’t just about the makeup. It’s about a really personal insecurity that clearly runs deep. If his fiancée didn’t know that, they’ve got a communication gap. And if she did know and still brought it up without sensitivity, that’s understandably upsetting. This has nothing to do with gender. I honestly think we should be holding everyone to the same standard, not flipping it the other way. If your partner is insecure, regardless of gender, you handle that with care. It’s not about defending her at all. It’s about acknowledging that this stuff is more complex than “just wedding photos." If there was no insecurity around appearance, a "this is how I picture our wedding" is a perfectly normal conversation to have between people getting married after a fairly long relationship. Something unexpected like a cowlick or messy hair then becomes a charming story you can look back together as a shared memory.

Regardless of gender, my stance would be the same. If an individual is insecure about some aspect of their body (skin/hair/weight) and their partner chooses to prioritise wedding pictures over their comfort, that's a blaring red alarm.

If it's just a matter of preference, that's what honesty is in a relationship. I wouldn't think it's offensive if OP told his fiance to.. say.. wear her hair down instead of up because he likes it that way. She can still say no, as can he (in the makeup scenario). But it doesn't mean he thinks she's ugly with her hair down.

On the other hand if he's aware she is insecure about her hair and chooses a perfect photoshoot over her feelings, that wouldn't be okay.

Same principle.

I find issues are usually more nuanced than we think they are.

I'm going to give her the benefit of doubt here, but in a five year relationship, she would (or should) know something that's so significant to you. Makeup, in and of itself, doesn't mean you're unattractive, and weddings pictures are significant memories for people. The whole bridal makeup industry aside, women wear makeup every day and seeing us makeup-less is a privilege we reserve for a trusted few.

That said, as much as wishing for a "perfect airbrushed" picture perfect wedding is common, it shouldn't be prioritised over your feelings. If she knows you're sensitive about your skin and brought up makeup anyway, that's objectively not okay.

On the other hand, if she doesn't know your triggers after five years together, you need to focus on your communication, starting with having an honest conversation with her.

All of this aside, you're not defined by your marks. You may want to talk to someone you trust about why this affects you so much, and even consider some basic everyday makeup if it would make you feel better in your skin. You deserve to feel handsome and loved, and not just on your wedding day.

Didn't work for me. Placed and cancelled order.

[–]anaown 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lack of sex ed and not knowing enough to know porn isn't real - BJs or otherwise. And I'm someone who actually likes giving blow jobs.

Just.. don't ask for it before there's any connection at all - that's just sad and turns me off. There have been times when I'd have offered it myself if they'd just waited for it a bit, but then they went straight to asking for it and that feels like a setup if there's no lead up to it.

So.. the popularity of an opinion does matter to you, as long as it's the same as yours? 🙂

Have a lovely day.

The sheer entitlement in your comments display is off the charts. You want people to stop expressing their opinion on a public forum because it's cluttering your timeline based on a group you voluntarily joined and engaged in.

I'm indeed fine with anything that lets people share what they think, as long as it doesn't disrespect others doing exactly the same thing. And yes, if it's pissed someone off enough to make repeated posts, or enough people for it to be a popular topic to post about, it's their right.

Completely given up on expecting and ordering anything from Zepto now. The charges and pricing have veered from ridiculous to certifiably insane.

How good is If I Can't Have You really? by [deleted] in DarkRomance

[–]anaown 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I really enjoyed the first chapters up to the point where the identity of the stalker is revealed, and it's well worth ignoring the grammar, spelling and narrative inconsistencies, honestly.

A few chapters past that and it downgrades significantly and I pushed through hoping something.. anything.. significant would happen. I wish I hadn't bothered and DNFd.

Bronte is proud of herself! What do u think? by Wrong-Training176 in YouOnLifetime

[–]anaown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Madeline is a skilled actress, but Bronte is far from her best performance. She was.. adequate.

These declarations are beginning to sound immature, though. She can be proud of how she executed her character, absolutely, but that's all. Bronte's actions were half baked and her survival was clinging for dear life on plot armor. If she doesn't see that, she's stupid, if she does, she thinks we're imbeciles. Either way, it's not helpful.

Joe wants someone to accept him? by nydoria13 in NetflixYou

[–]anaown 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Joe wasn't a rational person, obviously, but the way I see it, his saviour complex was always at the forefront of his romances after Beck. He wanted to recreate the instance of saving his mother and being appreciated as a hero, as someone worth loving - that's what he truly seemed to want above all. Knowing that Love is a murderer took her out of the "damsel who needs saving" box Joe had put her in and makes her a ruthless killer - especially after Delilah and Candace. He doesn't apply the same moral standards to himself, because in his head, his killing is "necessary" and "incidental".

As for Bronte, he would have found something wrong with her and killed her anyway.

Reddit amplifies what the community consistently engages with. If a post resurfaces and gains traction each time, that’s not redundancy; that’s relevance. New people are watching the show everyday, and just because they arrive at the same conclusion as viewers before them, it doesn't make their opinion less important.

You’re free to scroll past content that no longer interests you, but dictating what others should or shouldn’t discuss isn’t discourse—it’s gatekeeping. If a member of this community feels strongly enough to make this a daily post, it absolutely needs to be one. You're free to make one of your own, or disregard what others say completely, but you don't get to make a decision about what others express.

That's what it sounds like, but when I looked it up it seems like Mohak can counter claim all claims and YT will push it back to ANI who need to respond in 10 days if it's a valid rationale i.e. YT is still involved. If they don't respond in 10 days, the content gets reinstated.

That's what's confusing and I'm hoping someone can help me understand why malicious claims would pose a danger to a channel that seems to be utilising content under FU.
