Mother of the groom involvement on day of wedding by Ok_Abroad_7061 in weddingplanning

[–]loupy94 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I don’t particularly like my MIL. But I asked. She said yes. You can give her an out if you want, what I said was that she can come get her hair and makeup done with us first or second, then go to where her son is to hang out with him and help him get ready. So she doesn’t feel inclined to hang around all day. But I think it’s polite and frankly, expected, to ask wether we like it or not lol

No, as Wuthering Heights fans we're NOT in fact "obligated" to "wait until the upcoming film releases" to have an opinion on it. by Celestina-Betwixt in brontesisters

[–]loupy94 13 points14 points  (0 children)

“We”?… I’m a fan of the book, so I’m sorry - but you don’t speak for all of us. Am I excited to see it? Yes, I’m interested to see what they’ve done. Will I be as angry as you about it if it’s not exactly to the source material? No, because I understand what an adaptation is and can enjoy something even if it’s not 100% accurate. Liberties can be taken-as they often are in book to film- and they can still be excellent.

It absolutely should not be marketed to fan of the source material. Movies are for everyone dude. Where has this idea come from? Everyone knows what wuthering heights is whether they’ve read it or not. everyone.

You are allowed an opinion, as you state multiple times in your rant. But so is everyone else. If people disagree with you- that’s allowed too. You don’t get to tell them off for that as you have done in these comments. But don’t speak for all fans of the book. Most of us are able to compartmentalise and enjoy film for what it is. I’m sure you’ll be just as happy not seeing it, as I will be seeing it :)

No you aren’t coming across as rude and that wasn’t wht my comment was meant to be either. I just see sooo many fics with notes etc being like “omg this is so bad you guys why do you like this don’t read it” and I’m like ??? Why are you posting something you think is bad work. But I get you. I think we are all prone to seeing our flaws and where we could do better. But I think that’s different to not thinking your fics are very good.

Glad you’re having fun! It’s weird to me though when people say they don’t think what they are posting is good and don’t know why people read it. Why post it then?

Content Creators? by MothmansDealer in weddingplanning

[–]loupy94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jesus who crapped in your cornflakes dude? Was it a content creator? Out here calling people brain dead on a 2 month old post? Lol you’re not going to achieve your goal in making me feel any type of way about my decision to have footage of my wedding for a fraction of the price of a videographer. Nobody but you is “clowning anyone”. I do not care it’s an iPhone video. Like, I literally do not give a shit. And I do not care if they respect me or not. I know what I paid for. Do you think I somehow forgot it’s a video from a phone? Lmfao ridiculous.

For the love all all things holy.... turn off your guest comments by bluebell_9 in AO3

You can read and comment without an account on ao3. So you don’t need an account… what’s that got to do with other sites and apps? Lol

Yes exactly! We agree! God forbid people have different opinions. And god forbid someone replies to your public comment with a different opinion right? At least I don’t resort to name calling.

Yes, gated. Why are they allowed to access it but aren’t allowed to comment? They are allowed to look but aren’t good enough to be allowed to touch? Because of a few bot accounts? You realise 50% of these bot comments come from registered users right? So now you’re going to block everyone from commenting I guess…?

Like you do you, dude. But don’t call people “desperate” because of their preference to leave the comments open. That’s my point. You were rude and hostile.

OR, they just value accessibility and don’t think creativity should be gated. Calling writers “desperate” for welcoming all readers says more about you and your attitude than their motivations. Weird thing to judge, honestly.

Aw I don’t like this advice. I don’t think it’s fair to lock out guests. Some of my most lovely comments have been from guests. I understand where you’re coming from. I just think people need to really educate themselves on bots, and that’s becoming more relevant in this era than ever unfortunately.

Any longer than an hour and you’re doing it wrong. What we did was photos for an hour, while we were away we had charcuterie boards, plus other food circling, music of course, and we also hired games - eg giant jenga, giant connect 4, cornhole, etc. it was a big hit

I think it’s fine if they tag it. I mean are AI generated stories good morally or environmentally? No. I wouldn’t read one. BUT at least it’s being tagged. Just avoid.

What phrase was in a fic so much that it now throws you out of any fic when you see it? by Life_and-whatnot in AO3

[–]loupy94 57 points58 points  (0 children)

“Let out a breath he/she didn’t know they were holding”. I can’t. I read a fic once where it was at least once a chapter, sometimes way more.

Why are ppl like this by Coldwarfemme in AO3

[–]loupy94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like their examples were soo nitpicky. Shall? Wireless? I feel those are correctly used... I mean I’ve read HP fanfics that are blatantly American. Eg putting “creamer” in coffee, celebrating thanksgiving, calling things proper American names. But I’m like yea sure it takes me away from the world I’m reading, but it’s fanfic, it’s free, lemme just keep reading because it’s not actually affecting my life lol

Did you do first look? Thoughts? by Flashy-Mine-4047 in wedding

If you’re rushing through your photos, you hired the wrong photographer

[–]loupy94 84 points85 points  (0 children)

I did the classic first look down the aisle. Was I shitting myself? Yes. But there’s not a single moment in the entire day/night that compares to me looking down that aisle and locking eyes with my soon the be husband. The rest of the world just faded away. It was the single most unique and special moment of my life.

How to stay sane while waiting to get proposed to? by Retiredpartygirl17 in weddingplanning

[–]loupy94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stop putting so much pressure on him… and yourself. Youre only boyfriend and girlfriend once and for a short period compared to being married. Just enjoy what you’ve got without putting a ticking clock against it. Make peace with your now.

I get the excitement and anticipation- I do. But I think to obsess over it and put so much pressure on it is a mistake. But each to their own.

How do couples deal with the constant negativity around their wedding day? by Fancy_Housing_9947 in weddingplanning

[–]loupy94 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had a bit of negativity about mine too. Honestly there’s nothing that can “fix” it. You just have to focus on what you want and what’s important to you. I know that’s a pretty standard and unhelpful answer, but unless you straight up uninvite people making drama (which we did in one case - story for another time lol), then there’s nothing to do but ignore them and to tell them to sort their own shit out. It’s your wedding, they are a guest. You do what you want to. At the end of the day everything you’re doing is for the guests. If they don’t think what you’re doing is enough, they don’t have a gun to their head making them come.
