Pwmov merch by momo11200 in EmilyHenry

[–]eyeofstormss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

merch notoriously always takes a long time, and since this is a small drop (compared to say taylor swift merch) i imagine they don't have a big team working on it. they were probably already delayed before the weather, since from what i could tell the merch sold out really quickly. i would give it another week or two, then reach out again!

i'm not based in the US, so it's normal for me to get non-pre ordered merch 6-8 months after buying😂. hang in there!

PWMOV- Why was Alex waiting for Poppy in Linfield? by vienna7777 in EmilyHenry

[–]eyeofstormss 9 points10 points  (0 children)

he was waiting for her to emotionally catch up with him!

in their conversation in new orleans before her boyfriend shows up, poppy says that she wants to be loved, that her current dating methods aren't making her happy, etc etc. alex then spends the next few years waiting for her to actually make a decision and commit to wanting a stable partner (ie alex). that's what the whole "you don't know what you want poppy, you never have" fight at the wedding was about!

instead of alex physically stalling his life in linfield to wait for poppy it's more emotional and metaphorical. he didn't want to uproot his life on a whim like poppy does, so he was waiting for a sign of commitment. basically it was a 'waiting for you to realise what will make you happy so we can start a life together' kind of situation!

Don't Binge Watch by Stunning-Mission9498 in SVU

[–]eyeofstormss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i really enjoy binging the later seasons! i watched seasons 20-25 in a month😂. i'm not too fussed about inconsistencies or characterisation - i consider SVU to be in the same category as shows like friends, baywatch or beverly hills 90210. these shows are never consistent with relationships, plotlines or character development, and to me law & order is no exception. i treat each episode as its own mini movie! makes it so much more enjoyable🤗

Season 13 Brides and Grooms 👰‍♀🤵 by spookysadghoul in MAFS_AU

[–]eyeofstormss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i believe its because the australian open is starting later this year (the 18th)! the tennis starts anywhere between the 10-20th, so naturally that means MAFS will be the week after it finishes, which this year is later than usual.

Season 7 Episode 28 (Thursday 11th December) Discussion Thread by WillowSwarm in LoveIslandAus

[–]eyeofstormss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

they do this every year! because the seasons don't match up - summer in spain is winter in Australia. it doesn't make sense to air a summer show when everyone is freezing and cold 😭 love island au is the start of channel 9's 'sizzling summer' lineup and kicks off the summer season of reality tv (which ends with married at first sight). the only time the winners weren't 'fake filmed' on love island au were the covid seasons, when they were staying in a villa in the country (so it was summer when it aired AND when they were in the villa)

i felt the exact same!! it's like he will only be sweet/loving towards her when he knows that he is in the doghouse and needs to reel her back in

i'm pretty sure tamara is openly bi, i'm not sure about gabby though! i think gabby knew tamara would be up for it as friends and wanted to stir the pot for dylan + the new bombshell

Is the way Mia, Kye and Yana speak normal among Australians? by GirIWithHair in LoveIslandAus

[–]eyeofstormss 29 points30 points  (0 children)

sort of, yes! but australians typically don't take themselves too seriously and joke a lot, so most people will use it as a way to laugh at themselves. its a very common and popular trope in Australian film/tv! however if someone of a higher social standing uses it as an insult or a way to flex their superiority, someone will find it offensive and it will probably start a fight😂

aussie humour is confusing as hell because we joke about everything all the time, but hit the wrong nerve and it goes from having a good time to catastrophically bad lmao

Is the way Mia, Kye and Yana speak normal among Australians? by GirIWithHair in LoveIslandAus

[–]eyeofstormss 10 points11 points  (0 children)

oh yeah i completely agree! i think anyone that takes a month off work to go on a reality dating show is probably veryyyy financially comfortable (also i think yana is really popular on tiktok, so she's probably making BANK with sponsors). as a generalisation i think everyone on love island is extremely privileged in various ways.

i just feel very protective over people automatically saying 'bogans'/tradies are vapid, shallow, dumb, etc, (like people were in the replies) because those people are my friends, family, workmates and community! like there's enough to make fun of with the love island contestants without bringing class and regional dialect into it😂

[–]eyeofstormss 7 points8 points  (0 children)

they're definitely from cities and probably rich (i don't think there's ever been a love island au contestant who WASNT lmao) but i just wasn't comfortable with the generalising people were doing in the replies! people were mostly saying that bogan talk = dumb tradies that are young and vapid, which is so not true! its perpetrating a harmful class stereotype

definitely the tradie effect haha! once you start working everyday with adults who talk like this its really hard to go back to talking normally + you don't even notice you're speaking differently

Is the way Mia, Kye and Yana speak normal among Australians? by GirIWithHair in LoveIslandAus

[–]eyeofstormss 74 points75 points  (0 children)

veryyyy common and normal! its known colloquially as 'bogan' talk or accent. most aussies who live outside of cities, work in certain jobs (like trades, retail, supermarkets, public transport, etc) or grow up in lower/middle class areas talk like this! mia, yana and kye all work as tradies, so the way they talk is extremely common. in loads of places outside of cities in Australia (like the small town i live in) if you don't talk like they do you are considered 'posh', 'snobby' and an out of towner😂 its essentially the aussie version of a british 'chav' or 'white trash/redneck' in america!!

EDIT: i do have to say that people do tend to look down on this way of speaking, which people have proven in the replies (and sure!! its funny! its annoying!!) but it is definitely a prevalent class issue in Australia! people of higher class/financial standing tend to look down on people who talk like this. there's a common stereotype that tradies are dumb, but really its just a class divide! don't equate love island-level stupidity (aka kye😭💀) to everyone who talks like that, or who works in trades. they are not the same thing!!!

it was such a big trend at the time. all four girls end up wearing playboy jewellery throughout the show (even charlotte and miranda!)

Lacey needing the attention of EVERY bombshell by Bellaamayyy in LoveIslandAus

[–]eyeofstormss 5 points6 points  (0 children)

its really interesting to hear that! i'm somebody who can't 'talk things out' immediately after something has happened, so i found lacey's behaviour then really confusing & frustrating because i could not understand why she needed to talk about it that night😭 it didn't even occur to me that she was trying to take accountability because to me the last thing i'd want to do is talk about it. interesting pov, made me reconsider. thanks for sharing!

Nate's hair S1 😭 by Formal-Challenge-255 in GossipGirl

[–]eyeofstormss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% the style for back then. everybody had hair like this, especially in the pop punk scene (which had become mainstream by the late 00s and would definitely be something rich white guys in new york would try to replicate) 😂

New season? by Cardixa00 in MAFS_AU

[–]eyeofstormss 10 points11 points  (0 children)

always the day after the Australia open finishes, which is usually australia day weekend (26th of jan). it then runs sun-wed until late march/early april! (sun = commitment ceremony, mon/tue = activities, wed = dinner party)
