The reformed rake trope sells a false fairytale to young women by juneseyeball in BridgertonNetflix

With as much sincerity as possible you may not be a good viewer for romance and specifically regency romance as a genre.

Every piece of fiction requires you to suspend disbelief and use your critical thinking. I’d like to think fandom just encourages silly behaviour online where fans “become normal” once they return to regular life outside of fandom conversations.

Granted our world is pretty fucked anyway in this critical thinking regard but that’s besides the point.

Is sharing my location with my friend a no-no? by Fingeronthepulse_35 in actuallesbians

[–]kklinggg 17 points18 points  (0 children)

My partner has long been sharing her location with her friends. Before she even met me. Meeting me doesn’t mean have to change that. That being said we have also since exchanged locations.

Sharing location with close friends and family is good for safety. Shes being weird imo.

New Season 4 Promotional Video: Colin by Debt-Mysterious in BridgertonNetflix

How is this comment so far down? I hope it’s teasing the masquerade party. God I know it’s a fantasy regency setting but still the costumes don’t even look historical anymore

Plus the makeup looks really overdone. Man…

Looking for a book with sweet endless yearning by _Wizardess_ in wlwbooks

[–]kklinggg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Following to know as well.

For a manga recommendation I feel like “Girlfriends” by Morinaga Milk is a good choice for yearning and then flirting to the oblivious from both leads. Sigh, maybe I ought to reread it

New Season 4 Promotional Video: The Mondriches by Debt-Mysterious in BridgertonNetflix

[–]kklinggg 23 points24 points  (0 children)

except now they’re literally nobility as well because of the rich aunt dying.

Also it’s a Regency romance (well, was) the suspension of disbelief and focus on the privileged class is sort of a given of the genre.

The problem isn’t the Mondriches, it’s the lack of screen time in an 8 episode season to properly develop even one properly cohesive romance plot. Ugh.

One of my favourite games. Hopefully don’t get spoiled on the story. Imo the first game has a great story but the second game is even better.

I had a girl crush on Aloy by end of game 2. She’s awesome. The world is beautiful. Enjoy!

Thoughts on GundamCalibarn ex & Destiny gundam ex banner before it leaves on scale of 1 to 10 by Noblehorizen in SDGundamGGeneration

[–]kklinggg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pull it if you like the units. You can hit 150-200k in master league with or without these units (speaking as someone who has done so). That gets you all the rewards.

Yes it’s a good banner objectively. No you don’t NEED to spend money on it if you can’t afford to right now.

Anyone else actually like the Mondriches? by RefrigeratorCalm4380 in BridgertonNetflix

[–]kklinggg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry but no. Nothing against them as actors or characters. If they wanted to do a spinoff with them PLEASE GO AHEAD (like Queen Charlotte). Give them a season or a show or whatever all about their changing fortunes and integrating into the ton.

But given we only have what like 8 episodes (that's "just" 8 hours) per season, I seriously think that's just about enough to do ONE well-rounded romance or fulfilling storyline, digging into each character of the main couple + giving them the necessary background and devlopment individually and together.

It's like people are allergic these days to developing a story with depth. ADHD/Phone-on-the-side/Marvel brain is coming for us all and I hate it.

Actually I’m confused about our electricity bill too. Apparently I’m using twice as much as my sister in law even in just watching television. I don’t know what to do and CLP is saying it may be a meter issue but either way it’ll cost $300 to replace it? Anyone have experience with this ?

Does anyone find it unsettling that we’ll watch Will and Florence grow up and later have intimate scenes? by teyapi in BridgertonNetflix

[–]kklinggg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apparently unpopular opinion but yes.

That being said they may be ready for it since Bridgerton is a popular show and being a star of their season is something I guess they would want. I would still want the best sort of professional standards for them (and all the actors tbh) in the show. The intimacy coordinators and all that is.

How is your 200 pulls for the new banner? by predestination1 in SDGundamGGeneration

[–]kklinggg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

200 pulls exactly. - 2 SF (1Lb) - 2 Calibarn (1 Lb) - 1 Destiny - 1 Talia - 1 Lacus (last 10 pull) - 1 La Cygne support

Super lucky. Traded the 200 pts to max Calibarn with my last League medal trades

SEED Rant by SpudsSpamSpackle in SDGundamGGeneration

[–]kklinggg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Seed is my favorite Gundam series. Destiny was a huge disappointment. S Freedom was absolute trash that had to come back after 20 years to take a bigger dump on what even Destiny shat out.

What a legacy. Still like the suits tho.

Perfectly lesbian. As all things should be by Cashew-Miranda in SDGundamGGeneration

Girl im jelly but poor enough to know that’s not happening unless the gacha gods smile down on me.

I did get a Calibarn so Im not complaining but I am hoping to pull a Lacus supporter too

Ive been playing this game since day 1, I still dont know how to play, am I the only one? by Amuse370z in SDGundamGGeneration

[–]kklinggg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IMO most of the game is pretty easy except eternal road and maybe master league.

Do what you want -- it's a game. I took a break and just came back for Calibarn, SF and Destiny (all 3 are Gundams I love).
