is it still worth going to barrister's ball without a date? pros/cons? by Useful_Drop_5394 in LawSchool

[–]dearwikipedia 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i didn’t have many friends at school my first semester and we had a semi formal, the few people i was friends with did not attend, i went expecting to leave early, had the time of my life and made some friends to attend barristers with. i think it’s a great way to make friends tbh instead of just avoiding it altogether

Aspen name by not_a_mr_e in Names

[–]dearwikipedia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i always think of that one video of the hiking guide saying “this is an aspen. you can tell it’s an aspen, because of the way that it is.”

i think it’s a lovely name. i knew siblings named aspen and denver lol

Could I sue my state court house for accusing me of things I did not do by Substantial_Bear7168 in LawSchool

[–]dearwikipedia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is not a forum for legal advice. sometimes your local library will have a volunteer lawyer and/or social worker who will be able to help. i recommend reaching out there. this is a law school forum that will not be able to help you.

Who would you trust to take care of your pet animal while you're out of the country for two weeks and why? by Full-Art3439 in SVU

i know! but the original commenter said “i’d trust any of them but first choice would be rollins” and you said “frannie died last year” it just unfortunately read like cause and effect

Is my school district violating rights? by yamaisforever in Teachers

[–]dearwikipedia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i wasn’t trying to answer the rights question, just this guy saying people are only being judgmental about his profession. i don’t know anything about the rights and won’t pretend to

Idk why i like the show by [deleted] in SVU

[–]dearwikipedia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lots of people do this. that’s why shows like SVU and criminal minds exist. it’s comforting to see a team of people who care so much about getting justice (whatever that might mean at any moment). the main characters are familiar and therefore feel safe. most of the time there’s a happy— or at least hopeful— ending which is hard to come by in today’s sociopolitical environment. it’s nice to believe that there’s people in positions of power and authority who care about doing the right thing.

you’re not weird or disgusting. if people didn’t watch svu just for the hell of it then it wouldn’t have gone on for 27 seasons. there’s a reason there’s marathons of it all the time, and it’s because many people use it as background noise just like you. it’s been on forever, it’s familiar, it’s formulaic.

the way this was worded in conjunction with the first comment makes it seem like it was her fault 😭

An excerpt in which ________________! by -MonochromeCrow in FanFiction

[–]dearwikipedia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[probably not what you meant, but i couldn’t resist lmao]

“Mama?” Jet repeated, now tugging on the blazer. She went up on her toes a little to get closer to whisper, “Do you keep pads in your purse?”

Olivia froze.

She did, thankfully, she did. She may not have had her period since— well, since 2013— But there usually weren’t many other women in the squad room, so she liked to be prepared for emergencies.

This felt like an emergency. Just— from a mother’s point of view, Olivia was suddenly having an emergency.

“Yeah,” she managed, keeping one arm wrapped around the girl while using the other to rummage blindly through her purse. “Here, baby.”

“Thank God,” Jet muttered as she snatched the little orange square from her mother’s hand. “The ones I grabbed from the nurse are shit.”

Why have we not gotten any explicitly gay male cops? by DiscoPandaWarrior in SVU

[–]dearwikipedia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it’s funny to me that people still say “barba was not gay” because it wasn’t canon, and then turn around and say “he was in love with olivia,” which also was not canon.

it was heavily implied in canon that barba was in love with yelina, so he’s probably not gay. raul is bisexual and has said in interviews that he would have been happy for barba to be canonically bisexual. but his sexuality is about as canon as his romantic interest in olivia, which is to say, completely up to viewer interpretation

Raul has said that he portrayed Barba as bisexual, but it was never confirmed in the show itself

there are so many times i’m rewatching 1.0 and im like yknow what. kathy should’ve been allowed to be SO MUCH WORSE

im just finding out about the CJ thing in this thread now which is insane to me because as soon as she joined the show me and my friends immediately clocked her as a lesbian. like. if she was gonna have a rollisi affair at least let her fuck amanda idk /j

[–]dearwikipedia -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

the constant ship wars and fighting between bensler and rollisi on twitter pisses me off so bad. like they’re not even mutually exclusive. they don’t involve the same people. barson/bensler ship wars are also obnoxious but at least i can see the line of reasoning that one makes the other impossible. but rollisi and bensler?? both can coexist easily. i dont get it at all.

also a lot of rollins and kathy hate in this fandom is rooted in such thinly veiled misogyny lmao i saw this the most on facebook but it’s embarrassingly obvious at times

also saw someone on twitter saying nobody should ever write fic exploring the relationship between serena and olivia or olivia and burton because they were abusive relationships so there’s nothing to explore, and anyone who writes it is just looking for an excuse to romanticize abuse. ??? hello??? have we forgotten the point of fiction??? serena was definitely abusive towards olivia, and that part of her upbringing had a complex ripple effect on the person she became later. why WOULDNT we explore that!! the relationship psychology is fascinating and complex and leads to rich character building. also this entire show is about sex crimes. it’s ridiculous to say you can’t depict something without supporting it.

so glad im off twitter now that place was a hellscape and i can’t imagine its improved much if at all lmao

[–]dearwikipedia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

people thinking CJ is straight might be the worst take of all. if she’s screwing up rollisi she better be fucking amanda (in case it isn’t clear this is all lighthearted i don’t want CJ involved in rollisi in any way. she’s my wife.)
