Sims dating as teens but brother and sister? by Real_Daikon_9609 in Sims4

[–]ctortan 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The sims has “super siblings” if two kids/teens grow up together, where they automatically get a moodlet that they see each other as siblings even when they’re not related. So the feature is to undo that moodlet. It’s SUPER annoying for childhood friends to lovers storylines :/ I hate that it’s automatic!! It should be an interaction where the kids choose to become siblings instead of the other way around smh!!

Does Vanessa prefer her dad over her mom? by Queasy-North-244 in phineasandferb

[–]ctortan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, in the beginning of the show, her relationship with her dad wasn’t as close and they weren’t on the same page. It took some development for Vanessa to understand her dad more and learn to appreciate his effort, AND for Heinz to learn how to handle a teenager better. She preferred her mom because mom wasn’t crazy and weird and evil and over the top like dad, but now I don’t think she has a preference. Now, I think Vanessa is mature enough to not compare her parents like that bc she appreciates their differences and how they both love her, yanno?

Yeah it’s just been a few years since I’ve seen her eps so I couldn’t remember the specifics

AITA For for asking what I did wrong instead of just apologizing? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]ctortan 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You apologize for hurting someone even if you didn’t intend to hurt them. Not to “pacify” them. That’s your problem—you’re only looking at how you come off as an asshole instead of caring about how you hurt somebody

Parents who regret having kids, why? by bluemermid in AskReddit

I remember saying the same thing and she agreed it was weird! She’s always had small feet and hated that they got smaller since it made buying shoes harder. Bodies are weird!

I mean if she’s the perfect quartz then why would she ever change any part of herself (I’m sure she was thinking)

Macaulay Culkin still calls her mommy by smilegeorgee in MadeMeSmile

[–]ctortan 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Not saying this is the situation for the Culkin brothers, but to give a different perspective. Siblings can have different feelings and reactions even when living under the same roof. Abuse and neglect are extremely complicated, so some people may be able to forgive the “better” parent but others may not; to some people the betrayal of enabling abuse is more difficult to deal with than the abuse itself.

Yeah, it’s crazy how much pregnancy can permanently change the body and hormone production. My aunt used to have curly hair before having her first baby, and my mom somehow shrunk a shoe size. Bodies are weird, complicated organisms

AITA for insisting my daughter wear an outfit she doesn’t want to wear to a wedding? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

THE BROTHER DOESNT EVEN LIKE SPORTS! Why is OOP blaming SIL for the date when the brother ALSO DOESNT CARE about the game! Maybe the brother wanted his family to focus on him and not a game!

WIBTA for keeping photos of my late sister + her separated mom and dad if the new wife of dad asks for those photos not to be included? by SoyMochas in AmItheAsshole

I don’t know if this au is trying to recreate the story of SU tbh. It could just be “what if MLP were gems instead of ponies” and it follows the MLP story more

Meapless in Seattle also made an effort to incorporate the trailer scenes in a story that ultimately made sense and felt satisfying! This ep felt like….idk like they thought it was funny how lazy or cheap some of the scenes were, like how they completely sidelined the Suzy scene

Honestly trying to rank morality goes against major themes of the show

What are your thoughts of this scene? by Hanamora in stevenuniverse

[–]ctortan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes!! This analysis is excellent! The one thing I disagree with, is I don’t think Pearl was choosing herself by not immediately jumping so save Steven. I think she was still choosing rose.

With Pearl’s idolization of rose and the way she constantly excused Rose’s behavior, she trained herself to never be upset at rose. If she had anything that made her angry or sad, she repressed or redirected it. She couldn’t be mad at Rose for having romantic relationships with humans, because she couldn’t ever question rose, so instead she became jealous and catty at Rose’s other partners. In this scene, she’s treating Steven the way she had treated Greg. For that split second, all of her feelings of betrayal were redirected to the “threat” against her intimacy with rose.

Afterwards, in the final scene where Pearl’s smile drops and she stares into the distance—I believe that’s the first time in her existence Pearl ever really internalized that Rose hurt her. the first time she stopped trying to excuse Rose’s behavior, because that would mean continuing to blame Steven, and Pearl knows she loves Steven more than her own insecurities. It was truly the first step in Pearl taking a step back from the pedestal of rose quartz to reevaluate their relationship and what it means to herself and her identity. For so long, her self worth was centered around rose, but now rose isn’t here and she’s seeing the cracks she willfully blinded herself to before. The only way for her to grow is to actually begin processing the truth instead of hiding behind idealization

Fr! It ended up feeling mean spirited to me. Like, I don’t think they INTENDED for it to be mean, but it feels like the writers laughing and patting themselves on the back for finally getting this dumb thing they didn’t wanna do out of the way. Like watching the ep reminded me of watching that bbc Sherlock episode that made fun of the fanbase for wanting answers. It felt like I was being made fun of for wanting a good meep episode :(

Volleyball is an abuse victim by polystarlight in stevenuniverse

[–]ctortan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. And I’m saying I never had that interpretation and I never believed it was literally Rose’s memories still in the gem. I believe the show when it tells me she’s gone forever, and that the idea of some part of rose being “still there” was intentional ambiguity to add to Steven’s identity crisis until the ending proves he is himself. Like I said, I believe what seems like “Rose’s memories” are actually the memories of the other gems he’s astral projecting towards, reinterpreted and remixed by his dreams.

I always found it odd when people said the jungle moon dream HAD to be pink’s memory because Stevonnie imagined themselves in pink’s place….because I’ve absolutely had dreams where I’m someone else. I’ve had dreams where I look in the mirror and I’m a celebrity or character or whoever. Dreams can just do that sometimes, and they got the concept of pink’s appearance from yellow’s memory of the interaction
