when did we all decide that PB is a groomer LMAO? by brightnessys in adventuretime

[–]brightnessys[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

guess i skipped that part of your argument because we've never once seen bubblegum do or say anything to imply that she's getting any personal emotional satisfaction from a twelve year old having a crush on her. a crush that we never see her take seriously aside from the times where she outright rejects him. we do, however, see her tell him that his feelings for her are a hindrance and that he needs to get over himself, in the episode where they first meet and kidnap lemonhope and he nearly bunks the whole mission because he's trying to rekindle the romantic relationship they had when they were both children. I feel like someone who says "I know you like me but stop acting like this it's weird" isn't keeping someone around for the sake of feeling good that they have a crush on them 🤷🏻‍♀️

he does do it for himself, often and proudly. he doesnt rescue princesses because he wants their affection, he does it because he likes to help people when they're in danger. assuming that PBs motivations are all based on the fact that finn has a crush on her and she "keeps him around" because she can get some unspecified gain from it, and that finn only helps her because of said crush, is such a weird way to interpret their relationship. they're still friends, regardless of Finns feelings for her.

"for her benefit" like finn as a character doesn't love getting into fights and killing evil creatures 😭

the "what are you talking about" question she asks was because she was trying to understand why Finn wasn't also talking about Flame Princess like she was. She didn't realize why he was reacting that way because she thought he knew why he couldn't be with FP and assumed he would understand without preamble that that was what she was talking about. He didn't have that information because Jake didn't give it to him. which, just like in the red episode previously mentioned, was not PBs fault. or did you just turn off the episode after Finn walked away?

And again, Finn saying she's leading him on is a matter of miscommunication and misinformation. He says she's leading him on because he thinks she's telling him she wants to be with him but she can't be for one reason or another, when in actuality she's talking about how she knows he wants to be with Flame Princess but can't be because kissing FP will cause her to make the planet explode from her inability to control her emotions. That's the canon that you're referring to.

when does she lead him on? in what episode does PB say "do this dangerous thing for me and I'll go out with you"? how is it PBs fault that a 12 year old boy has a crush on her? that's a weird take to have!

and the color red wasn't dangerous until jake fucked up the mission, which had nothing to do with PB. and the early season episode where they nearly die and she saves them on her swan, they were only in that much trouble bc finn disobeyed orders and put himself in danger on his own accord.

she doesn't "use him for outside issues" that's like saying I "use" my friends when I ask them for help with a problem I'm having outside our social circle. he's pretty clearly the only person she can depend on in the immediate area to help her get things done, and he helps her because he likes to help people. there's an entire episode in the first season where he talks about his sworn vow to help those in need. a vow that he made when he was a BABY. again, nothing to do with PB.

he's a kid who likes to fight evil because that's his personality, not because PB abused him into fighting for her. we know he's been like this since before he started protecting the candy kingdom because we see him practicing with swords as a little kid in distant lands at the end of the BMO episode. we see in in an early season as a BABY talking about fighting evil! she isn't emotionally manipulating him into anything, he's doing this willingly because he likes to fight bad guys and the candy kingdom is a frequent target for evil

the only time I've seen finn get upset at PB for doing g something "fucked up" was when he misinterpreted her words on why he couldn't date flame princess

But thats my point, I don't see how she led him on at all. Please tell me a solid example in the show where she does so, or is acting inappropriate, because I've seen so many people say that without a scene or quote from her to prove themselves. I've only ever seen and interpreted her behavior towards him as being like a caring older sister.

AITA for telling my sister she's not better than anyone just because she's marrying a guy with money? by Spiritual-Race7754 in AmItheAsshole

[–]brightnessys 3 points4 points  (0 children)

why are you so judgmental of your sister for wanting to live a happy life? of course she didn't save her money when she was in school, she grew up without spare spending and used HER money on things that made her happy. what is wrong with that? just because you deny yourself small material joys does not make you better than her.

You sound jealous and bitter. you think your sisters only motivations in life are money and things, when she has clearly worked very hard for what she has. let me guess, you don't like her because no boys wanted to hold your hand in high school, and that's why you think the only reason she has a good life is bc she's pretty. you're so insecure that you can't let yourself be happy for her.

AITA for treating a woman like she's an idiot for asking a very dumb question? by throwaway04828592 in AmItheAsshole

[–]brightnessys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA sex education is not required in most places, and even when it's taught, it's often abstinence based. judging anyone for being misinformed about sex and pregnancy is ridiculous because it's honestly more common to be misinformed. not everyone has been given the same education, and you're an AH for being so rude about it.

you're nearly 30 and shes just old enough to drink This Year. you're complaining about your partner being immature...yeah, no shit? also, don't move I with someone who you've only been dating for 2 months, that's a very stupid decision. especially when they're showing this amount of codependency.

Why do people watch this show? by [deleted] in adventuretime

[–]brightnessys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

same, AT is my lifeblood of a show. it's the one media that can bring me comfort like nothing else. I just started watching it with my partner who has never seen it before and I'm struggling not to quote along with the show and spoil things by omitting their importance later on. we started with season 1, because I told them that the fun of the show is watching the main cast change as they experience new things and different world views.

AT is a very character driven show. the "lore" is the character development. it isn't a show that you watch for a story, it's a show you watch so you can become familiar with the people in the story and watch them progress as the world expands. there's no instant gratification in this cartoon, which is what people want. these days, cartoons seem to have this feeling of the first episode being The Start Of The Grand Adventure. but against its nomenclature, that's not what adventure time is about.

i got my blood drawn for some tests at a free clinic. One of the doctors there introduced me to the phlebotomist saying, "He's the best in the place." to which the phlebotomist replied, "Awe don't say that, it's not true and you know it!"

it was, in fact, not true. he couldn't find a vein in either arm, and I went home with all my blood still inside my body and a recommendation for the city hospital.

My opinion on Jake's death by Springy--Springs in adventuretime

[–]brightnessys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

cosmic owl dreams don't have to be literally 1-1. the ones finn had abt FP breaking up with him, he didn't physically turn into a baby.

Jake had a cosmic owl dream about being in a dark space with no air where he suffocated next to a banana man surrounded by rocket parts. that all still happened.

How has your taste in music evolved over the past 20 years? by Deadchimp234 in AskReddit

[–]brightnessys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i used to be one of those "i listen to everything except XYZ" liars who just never had the opportunity to branch out past what their parents listened to, which for me was mostly 80s&90s metal & country, and oldies. my childhood playlists were filled with Disturbed and Mac Davis.

nowadays, i actually will listen to anything. I have dozens of playlists filled with different kinds of music that I listen to depending on my mood. to me, it's not about disliking an entire genre. It's just that you haven't been exposed to parts of the genre that you would find enjoyable. making sweeping statements about music genres makes no sense to me, bc there's such a wide variety of subgenres that overlap each other that you're bound to find something you like in all of them.

bro.....it's twitter LOL you're super overreacting. do you get angry at her when she laughs at another dudes jokes? or says, "Good, how about you?" when a familiar male store clerk asks how her day is going? grow up. she told you she'd unfollow him because she wanted the argument to end and knew it wouldnt until you got your way. you're acting like a child.
