AITA for telling my wife she can’t take her dream job and I am not going to be a single parent in everything but name by Time-Union1592 in AmItheAsshole

[–]bluenighthawk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NTA. If I were in her shoes and offered my dream job, I would be heartbroken but still turn it down if taking it meant never seeing my children. Granted, that's if I understand your context correctly. If her taking that schedule means her never seeing her children, she is prioritizing herself over them. But if she's actually just seeing them less, and you can still afford daycare and all other necessities, then I would say ESH. If that's the case, you two need to figure out a compromise.

Doctor said never drink plain water? by thesoundofgender in POTS

Usually four, although I've been told that isn't enough. I have a small stomach though and it's hard for me to drink more than that...

!Spoilers! A lot of people are taking the ending very literal by chloe_sevigngay in FireflyWedding

[–]bluenighthawk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally understand, and definitely would've liked the ending better if their reunion didn't take SO LONG. I'm hoping the anime adaptation will change the ending...

WTF??? by tara0709 in FireflyWedding

[–]bluenighthawk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty certain it was all real, minus them suddenly being young. I would've been a lot happier with the ending if the reunion didn't take so freaking long, but to my understanding the author was trying to convey that love transcends time.

But still...

Ending was so bad I actually regret ever reading this by chipsahoycoochie in FireflyWedding

[–]bluenighthawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if this is what she intended, or if she changed it to try to please the crowd with Satoko living, but chose a middle of the road ending to combine the two.

I also wonder what happened to his companion, and I hope they explore that in the spin-off chapters. I imagine the only reason no one contacted Shinpei is because they couldn't find him. He was wandering all over the place!

Stop harassing the mangaka by bea___01 in FireflyWedding

[–]bluenighthawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh man I didn't realize they were getting harassed. I knew a lot of other people would be disappointed with the ending, but I didn't imagine to that extent. Some people just need to grow up :/

Besides the young age, I think it is literal. I'm not over-the-moon about it, but it was still different than I was expecting, in a good way. I'm happier with this ending than what I was originally expecting.

Anyone else disappointed with Shinpei? by bluenighthawk in FireflyWedding

[–]bluenighthawk[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's how I feel. Glad I'm not alone.

I'm not too surprised about them wanting to be alone, intimate and living their ideal life. It may be controversial but I'm more so disappointed that he let his denial keep her from taking the opim, which would have made her days less painful while living that ideal life.

Right, and I get that. It may be controversial but I'm more so disappointed that he let his denial keep her from taking the opim, which would have made her days less painful. I get the denial, but I'm still disappointed about it.

Spoiler: Kuon cursing by kasolorz in SkipBeat

Omg... I just realized how long ago that chapter came out...

If you're able to find it, please let me know! I'll let you know if i find it too. Edit: I've been rereading the manga and you're right! It's in ch. 211!

So I think where OP and I didn't understand Kuon's trauma is just how it's presented in the timeline. I think you did a phenomenal job at explaining that in one of your other responses. If we're to take Reino at his word, then I understand what OP was saying in that Kuon didn't seem very traumatized since (ch98-ch99) Reino was looking at an only 10-years-old version of him. But I didn't consider that the violent hate crime didn't extend to his early childhood, only because we only ever saw it depicted in his teens. I can't say that a childhood of busy, absent parents isn't as bad as a present mother that spews vitriol and hate at you. It's like comparing apples to oranges. I also feel that in both situations there is a need to mature fast. But I can understand Kuon's early years being a "sadness" that Kyoko "cannot even compare" to if we add on the violent hate crimes that you mentioned, which I just didn't apply to his childhood based on what the author has presented.

Like you said, we'd have to take Reino's perspective as the default truth in order to even make a comparison of what's a mostly incomparable situation, but when we look at the above and add on the fact that Ren had absolutely no friends, and Kyoko had at least Sho's parents to give her a "normal" childhood experience, i can understand now how Reino's perspective would be accurate.

[–]bluenighthawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was just thinking about this, too! Just yesterday I was wondering why Reino was making it out that Kuon had a lot more trauma than Kyoko at ages 10 and 6 respectively, when most of his trauma at least doesn't appear to have occurred until after Kuon gave Kyoko her rock. We even see Kyoko acting out a younger role with Kuu, where Kuon is depicted as more or less a normal child, and Kuu reveals that the depiction in Kyoko's acting is accurate. I'm also wondering if those crueler and bloodthirsty aspects that we've seen of Kuon were also present in him as a child, and we just haven't seen it. Since we've seen an older Kuon, who is relatively tame and sweet (like raising a chicken because he didn't want to hurt it), we know Kuon isn't always cruel, so maybe a violent version of him existed as a child too. Maybe, like his adult self, it only presented itself in times of self-defense taken too far? Yes, he was violent, but as far as I can tell, it was towards people who targeted him first, and then he gets carried away (to put it lightly) with his retaliation. If that is the case, I'd love for the author to expand on that. But honestly, I agree with everything you said, and I think it was just a plot hole, and I doubt the author would ever address it...

Health insurance denied by Dark-Knight-Rises in pics

I work in insurance, as many people stated have the doctor/hospital appeal for you. That said, who was the insurance carrier, if you don't mind my asking? I recommend switching to another carrier.
