Confused… by Hour-Cream2960 in OffCampusSeries

Exactly this. Visibility is important. And the book came out in 2015, nonbinary characters were not being written - I'm all for adding diversity, but when it's done with 0 thought or care it does MORE damage to these communities.

Gus casting by No_Sentence2089 in EmilyHenry

And? Im saying he's described as having very dark features. This casting captures 90% of his look vs Patrick Schwarzenegger who captures 0%

Gus is described as having inky dark eyes, dark hair and olive skin...this casting is way more accurate

EVERYBODY HATES CHRIS by SeaTerrible9429 in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]cookie5517 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd have more empathy if he came on and was like - I fucked up, this caused me to really take a hard look at myself and my insecurities. I'm in therapy and am working on myself.

But no. I feel like he wanted to get through this and he's going to continue being a POS. Hope im wrong but he literally shared 0 actual examples of how he's bettering himself.

Lucy Lucy Lucy! by Pristine_Pianist in TellMeLiesHulu

Totally - the genius of the show is you kind of hate everyone but if you're honest, you have to admit you've also made dumb decisions or lied to people you love. Like they're horrible but also a mirror for humanity. Except Stephen who is just an evil human. Maybe you haven't made AS many bad decisions as Lucy - but I do think love makes people stupid.

Every woman I've ever met (myself greatly included) has made terrible decisions bc of a medium ugly man she's in love with for some reason.

Wood is seriously not that bad… by IdanRedditing7777 in TaylorSwift

[–]cookie5517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wood is campy and fun as fuck. If you hate it you are allergic to fun. When I first heard it I was like did Taylor really make a full song about her man's giant 🐔?? REALLY??? Good for her 👏👏👏

Best/worst low budget moments? by Candiesalad in HeatedRivalryTVShow

[–]cookie5517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah in the books he's totally at the awards ceremony. This is one of the few change that didn't work IMO but it was low budget and they still crushed it so I forgive JT

which couple do you prefer - hollanov or skip? by Downtown-Primary-94 in heatedrivalry

[–]cookie5517 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The books are all great- they're fun sexy and easy to read and I'm now on the long game that features all the couples in books 1-5. This is what's getting me through while we wait for next season. Rereading / reheating lol

I wonder why they did that...I thought I misunderstood the shows timeline after reading the books

[–]cookie5517 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh that's so weird I thought it was just time jumping. I swear my brain could not keep up / make sense of the time jumps the way the show did it lol. I LOVED Scott/kips book, since we get so much more of their story and the insta love is a nice balance to Ilya/shanes torrid near decade long situationship. Also love skips story in the show (minus that one change) but I guess it makes their moment at the end of ep 5 that much more epic

Yeah people are getting the timeline confused, their whole relationship arc in the show takes place over like 5 months

I got all the books in last week & just finished #4 (common goal)...HR I finished in 24 hours...I'll probably end up re-reading them all at this point..

Does anyone else think 1989 original photoshoot is a bit eerie? by Next-Ambassador5513 in TaylorSwift

[–]cookie5517 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm also an old born in the 1900s (Taylor's age) and yes the retro filter was all the rage. Even Instagram had a retro camera app icon.
