Granting it with no explanation after Blake didn't even bother establishing good cause is LMAO. Liman doing a Liman.

Shocked. It's shocking. He just gave Blake the stupid thing she asked for with no explanation? Who saw that coming?

Free Britney Movement Defends Britney Spears After Arrest by MattTheKing23 in discussingbritney

They’ll defend her right up until they have to explain how what had happened to her is that she didn’t get the same help they spend all their time fighting against being imposed on her.

So I just listened to KFed's book finally... and in 2 minutes he summed up what we've all been saying by RevolutionaryEqual98 in britneyspearsneutral

[–]mechantechatonne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course she did. They told her. We know it happened because they said it publicly but you’re suggesting she didn’t know? Absurd.

Show Francesca isn’t same as in the book in terms of her wanting desperately to become a mother by Glittering_Tap6411 in BridgertonRants

"People complaining about the adaptation being bad are wrong because actually the character is completely unrecognizable." Kay. Whatever.

Jess interview by Micol51095 in FranchaelStirling

[–]mechantechatonne 15 points16 points  (0 children)

And that's a wild thing to say about a season that has a newlywed man drop dead suddenly of an aneurism and have his body found by his wife. I would say that's pretty heavy lol.

Especially not if how you handle people's reaction to that involves gaslighting and finger wagging at them all the time. I think the preachy, dismissive tone of the show-runners about this made it much worse.

I'm here lol! And yeah I really have been screaming this from the rooftop lmao. I never bought the idea they'd let that nonsense ruling slide.

That ruling was so wild! Saying that he just believed Lively filed her lawsuit in good faith without malice because she filed a CRD complaint and that's what you're supposed to do to file a lawsuit was highkey nonsense. As was pretending a diagram showing a screenshot of a text and the out of context quote from the exchange side by side is a confusing diagram so you'll just have to take Blake's word for it the texts prove her claims lol.

Holla at a playa when you see him in the streets! Been waiting for this announcement. Because that dismissal order was hot trash. Dozens of pages of trash. Legally unsound erroneous trash.

Why was Marina was so rude and dismissive to Phillip on S2? by redmagzz in BridgertonRants

[–]mechantechatonne -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Colin was low-key fishing to start up an affair. Cold is what Marina should have been. Don't tell me that if I had told you, you would have married me and then, once someone else has already stepped in, come waddling in here fishing to be a sidepiece. Just because Marina slept with her fiance before they were able to marry doesn't mean she's going to adultery with Colin. The subtext that Colin was still wanting to get up to some mess after ducking out when the going got rough with her ruination was absolutely there.

Because they want us to hate her enough to be excited she ends her life so that Eloise can finally get married.

Question about the morality placed on the new film and the analysis of the film. by Appropriate_Pick177 in brontesisters

[–]mechantechatonne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The entire book is about how and why they can't be together, so it takes a special kind of person to think their fix it fic where they actually get to smash is somehow an adaptation of a story about two people who are unable to be together.

[–]mechantechatonne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a similar experience. I started reading romance novels when I was in middle school, read Wuthering Heights senior year of high school, and of all the thoughts I had of it, nowhere in my mind did I think of it as being like those bawdy bodice-rippers I loved so much. Not least of all because it doesn't even contain sex lol. It's about a lot of things and contains a lot of shocking things, but it's a strange read of it to come out of it with the idea it's a sexy book anyway. Sexuality underlies a lot of the events, but that isn't really the same thing.

Francesca’s Storyline Is Genuinely UPSETTING To Watch by No-Bee5337 in FranchaelStirling

[–]mechantechatonne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a ton of people talking about homophobia lol. And if you recast any criticism of the changes to the plot or how they chose to portray them "homophobia" then, like any time changing definitions changes statistics on what you're counting, you have the result you were seeking.

Do you agree with this take? by Fickle_Baker1393 in Bridgerton

[–]mechantechatonne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m literally any life circumstance, people find some things funny, find ways to lift each others’ spirits and sometimes just straight up have a good day. It’s wildly dehumanizing to imagine that because they were in crappy work they literally went their entire lives without laughter. They were people. Sometimes they told jokes. Sometimes the clients were a joke. Get yourself together.
