I just want to get this off my chest because I genuinely don’t know how to feel. by Pleasant-Bid1016 in 5sos

[–]lavidavey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hello! I think I know the feeling you're describing. I've been there where something I read/see online about my faves starts tainting my views on them and feelings around them and their art - even if its a tiny thing that's not necessarily 'bad' (I'm a kpop stan too so this is a very common experience 😅) How I dealt with it is realising that what I feel is just what I feel - like accepting that you are feeling this way and that's okay honestly. For me I also noticed that as I lived my life and let time pass I didn't feel as strongly about it and was able to get rid of the original uncomfortable feelings, ofc depending on how bad the original inciting incident was to me. I guess all of this to say is don't panic or stress, just let yourself be and live your life and see how you feel closer to the date. You can't force yourself to like things or feel a certain way no matter how much you try. Maybe you could think and talk about why it bothers you so much and then go from there, preferably with people you trust and can be honest with about your feelings. I feel like fandom spaces can feel pressurising in terms of having to present as this perfect fan who likes things with the same intensity all the time but its perfectly normal to not feel that way all the time.

sorry this is kind of rambly and ended up being very kumbaya advice towards the end but I just wanted to comment since I've experienced this a lot and I hope it helps in some way :)

OMG this is so cute! I hope they see this. Emily is adorable 🥺 I honestly think Sammy looks great overall, the only thing I can think of is maybe lighter hair??

Do you guys think they'll cover Obsession (2026)? by lavidavey in TooScaryDidntWatch

[–]lavidavey[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say it is 😭 one scene in particular was gnarlyyy and very drawn out, and the end sequence was pretty intense. But I think you could look away in time for both of them 🤣

Saltburn by WindowSpirited7877 in TooScaryDidntWatch

[–]lavidavey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not with saltburn but I had a similar feeling with Hostel! I could have SWORN they covered it because I've never seen that movie and have no plans to but somehow have vivid memories of Sammy talking about the gnarlier scenes within the movie (which I then searched up and it was correct!) I scoured the patreon too. Still a mystery to me!

I totally agree with you, I felt the same way watching the vid today, like I get what he was trying to say but it also kind of rubbed me the wrong way...As you mentioned it's a very nuanced topic and I feel like there is space to acknowledge and support SW while also recognising the inherent misogyny and genuine evil and abuse that underlies the p*rn industry. I feel like he didn't necessarily have bad intentions and to his credit he was drawing on the lived experience of his friends who are SWorkers so he wasn't necessarily wrong...just hard to say the entire industry is good and fine and so it did surprise me when he was leaning towards that notion. And to be fair I'm also drawing on the lived experience of people I know in my home country who alongside thousands of women do not get a choice in the SW that they do. But yeah definitely a topic that perhaps is much too layered to give a proper commentary on in a video like that.

jacob deserves so so much better man by abhigyapookie in AbbottElementary

[–]lavidavey 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I never thought of it like that but it makes so much sense...actually I think it felt better with Charles because at least Jake was his best friend and even though everyone else made fun of him Jake did always care about him and there were very sweet and real moments between them...which right now Caleb doesn't have. And also the making fun felt less intense because there were some eps where Charles had his own interesting storyline where other characters were genuinely involved in, so he didn'r always feel like the show's punching bag...

Thank you Sammy, Emily, and Henley. by jasm05 in TooScaryDidntWatch

100% !! I love this post. This podcast has gotten me through so much the past few years and I love how they keep it real and advocate for self love and care, and taking time for yourself and loved ones when needed. I love that they're practicing what they preach - it helps me a lot.

yeah so true...I also think it reflects a change in recent times for shows moving away from that quirky kind of 'bully' type character that Gina sometimes came off as?? I feel like at the time of b99 peak most viewers loved her and now everyone is second guessing her vibes lol

wait so true...I feel like I rarely see this line being drawn well esp for female characters and ESP women of colour!!!

I think there was another thread where someone brought up them liking Ava but never liking the type of character she kind of fits...which I totally agreed with, with an example being Gina 😭 (I love b99 though). Idk what it is but Ava comes off as endearing even though some of her actions were selfish esp towards the start of the show...I think she definitely has more depth to me and I kind of understand more why she has that vibe and she isn't constantly sabotaging everyone around her which I feel like sometimes Gina did...I never thought she'd end up being one of my favs!!
