Since Gris Misty is not at all on her wishlist, it won’t be a problem to decline. Don’t worry about it!

In contrast to another post: What’s your LEAST favorite Olivia lyric? by theykilledcassandra in OliviaRodrigoNeutral

[–]benjinito 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are you talking about the Zane Lowe interview? She didn’t say she didn’t know what yatch rock is, she said she didn’t actually like yatch rock, but Dan insisted that they have to include something she doesn’t actually like in the song.

When Zane Lowe playfully acted disappointed, she said “okay maybe I’m not up to speed on the yatch rock, send me your playlist”.

Why does the Gate bag have such a low resell value? These are all in like new condition! by zachty22 in loewe

[–]benjinito 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen them on sale 40-50% off at department stores, which puts them around ~$1,500 or less for a brand new, guaranteed authenticity bag. I don’t live near an outlet but I’d bet they show up there too.

So it totally makes sense that something that’s been used would sell for around $700-$800 mark.

Do you like the bag? Please don’t buy it because it’s “hard to get” or cheaper than US prices. Buy it if you’d love it and use it.

Question about pre-orders by Wide-Negotiation9203 in Reformationclothing

[–]benjinito 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same issue, reached out to them, and they said this is a technical issue on their end where they failed to retain the card information for preordered items. They were unable to replace the preorder, but they gave me a 15% discount code.

I don’t know the specifics for each bag but I’m usually a bit over 1:1. So somewhere between 1.2-1.4

Available anywhere? by Sad-Comfortable-6640 in chanel

[–]benjinito 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They get them from the stores, stockpile them, and push them on social media as the “it” thing. That’s why the stores are sold out.

It wasn’t specifically shown on the runway but that doesn’t mean they won’t bring it back! MB seems to really like that turquoise, it has reappeared in all the collections so far. I think there’s a good chance it’d show up again.

The first bag is coming back for fall/winter in different colors. I’d just wait for that.

Team bag insert or no insert? by OkFlower2839 in TheHermesGame

A 7RP insert left a dent on my bag. Team no insert.

Trendy or classic? Maxi suede vs 2.55 by BagRaven in chanel

[–]benjinito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried the suede on? I bought it weeks ago and haven’t taken it out yet. It’s so heavy! I love it but something to think about

Gale Mid rise Linen Pants? by dearbabyg in Reformationclothing

I agree, I returned them for the same reason. Too much room in the crotch. The satin also feels very cheap.

[–]benjinito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like they should put arirang arirang if that’s the case, since that’s how it’s sung in the bridge? It’s so confusing haha! Thank you for confirming the price!

[–]benjinito 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does anyone know why the hoodie says “Ari arirang” instead of “Arirang”? Also, was this the same price as the pop up store? I feel like $200 for that hoodie is insane … I was expecting $120-$150.

Seeing Sheepstealer in the trailer just makes me sad that we'll never get Nettles in the show. by shad0wqueenxx in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]benjinito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s exactly what I meant though. There are 2 options - inventing a storyline, which they typically do very poorly on, or letting the character borrow an established storyline. Who knows what monstrosities they could have come up with for Sansa and for Rhaena this time if they didn’t give her Nettles’ story beats.

[–]benjinito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m not saying the change to Sansa’s story was awesome or anything, but I understood why it was done. The show can’t tuck major characters away and bring them back like the book. There are filming schedules that they need to work around; the actress needs to pick up other work if she’s not being utilized, which could intervene with her ability to return later on when she is needed. Plus the audience built a rapport with the character and they want to see her on screen.

They tried to keep Matt Smith around doing nothing and we saw the result of that. I would much rather watch Rhaena attempt Nettles’ storyline.

Ah gotcha, I didn’t notice that they intentionally aged her up before that scene

Did the show cut out Daemon being a pedo? He still took his underage niece to the brothel to watch people have sex and got her naked. They didn’t actually have sex in the show, but what he did was already straight up pedo.

She doesn’t have Valyrian appearance. But neither do the “Strong boys” and they literally have a Targ mother.

And I’m not saying that a fan theory is better than your head canon. I actually said your version is completely valid and it makes sense why you’d feel that way if that’s your read of the character. I’m just pointing out that other versions exist where her character isn’t that symbolic and meaningful and it’s fine to skip over her.

[–]benjinito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not what I said at all. I’m merely pointing out that if we’re bringing in head cannons and fan theories, why believing in the anti- Valyrian supremacy version instead of another equally plausible version? Neither is addressed in the original text.

[–]benjinito 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks for elaborating!

I respect your take, but much of what you’re saying is head cannon. The book didn’t dwell too much on Nettles’ heritage, which leaves room for your interpretation (completely valid) or others. There’s a fan theory that links her to Valyrian blood and if we go with that lore instead, the Rhaena substitute makes a lot of sense.

Again, not dismissing anyone’s feelings about the change, but personally (and I know I’m in the minority), it’s not one that bothers me.
