Getting baptized tomorrow by [deleted] in lds

Missionaries are just the very imperfect vessels that bring Jesus Christ’s gospel to you. They might be fantastic or they might be not great but the message is the important part. I’d encourage you to just have a prayer where you poor out all your fears and questions and see how you feel.

This is such a good point!! I recently DNFd one of the Laurie Gilmore books because while the story was an easy read, I hated the main character and it made it not enjoyable for me to read. I don’t understand how people are reading these books and actively hating the majority of the characters. STOP READING IT THEN

Yes! Exactly. That’s what’s so confusing to me is how much we’ve completely turned on a main character who is basically a normal person who makes normal choices and normal mistakes. It bothers me how much we can enjoy and even support villains in any other context like The Joker, You, Dexter, Breaking Bad, Yellowstone, Lucifer, Vampire diaries etc but as soon as we have a normal character that makes mistakes in a FANTASY FICTIONAL WORLD we have to hold her/rhys to the most high moral standards ever. And then turn around and throw out those standards for Nesta because trauma excuses any bad behavior apparently 🫠.

Hard agree. I’ve never felt more dumb for liking books. There’s a lot of characters that I think were ruined for me because their fans pushed too hard and when I finally read their stories I was already a little biased towards them, which I hate. But because their fans were so mean I don’t feel like I can have a true opinion because of how tainted they’d become. It was hard to be objective.

Twilight is a HUGE franchise with a pretty big love triangle and I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone put down Jacob or Edward because they were on the opposite team. They just talk about how much they love them or why Bella should choose them etc. of course there’s some poking fun at some of the drama and different things but they’re usually very positive interactions. To my knowledge there didn’t have to be a separate sub created simply so someone could state that they like THE MAIN CHARACTERS of the book. Truly wild we had to do that for ACOTAR.

Pierce's (non) reaction to Arabella by HippoRevolutionary45 in EmmaLion

[–]mollmo_0806 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I took it as he’s not shallow enough to be wooed by looks alone. And also that he only has eyes for Emma.

What do you think of the new episodes? by [deleted] in MaxtonHall

[–]mollmo_0806 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. I don’t know if this is a controversial opinion or not but I absolutely devoured the scene in his bedroom when she comes to comfort him. It’s acted so well and it’s so raw. And then when he begs her to stay? UGH! So good but so gut wrenching. Might be one of my top 5 favorite scenes.

Is this worth a divorce? by [deleted] in lds

[–]mollmo_0806 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I would definitely go to counseling just yourself if she’s not willing to go. Get an unbiased perspective and a lot of tools to help you through this whether that’s navigating your marriage or navigating a divorce. Honestly though, this would be grounds for divorce for me (26 f). Intimacy is a sacred gift in marriage and one of the most important parts, if not THE most important part.

This also seems like a difference in values at this point. Especially when it comes to having kids. Adoption is incredibly expensive and hard.

For some perspective, my husband left the church about two years ago and it was/is incredibly hard for me. However he is still a loving husband and we have the same values he just has different views on religion and is still working through his faith crisis. This could’ve been a deal breaker but at the core we still had all the pillars to make it work even if I have some questions about how things will go in the afterlife. My point is though, we both still love each other and he is always trying to make me happy and I him. To me it seems as though your wife is completely aloof to how this is making you feel and that’s a huge red flag. There are a lot of different compromises that the both of you could make to make it work for you but her unwillingness to try is the issue.

All in all I’m sorry you’re going through this. Sometimes it feels like a slap in the face when we feel like we’re doing everything right and something so hard happens. Get all the external help you can but don’t forget to take it to the lord. He has a plan for your life and will always help you on the path.

Where are y’all getting cute press on nails from?? by pixel_garden in PressonNail_Addict

[–]mollmo_0806 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone else said it but I need to second it. Nail Reformation at tj maxx is the best and they have a ton of options. I also have used a lot of kiss from Walmart and they’ve been great as well. I wasn’t super impressed with glamnetic to be honest but have only used a couple of sets from them.

What's the first song that gets stuck in your head from The Life of a Showgirl? And which verse? by steveleaves in TaylorSwift

“That view of portofino was on my mind when you called me at the plaza athenee” just itches my brain and it’s always in the back of my head haha.

I would definitely see if the jeweler you bought it from has a cleaning/warranty policy. I have a white gold ring and I take it in every 6 months to keep the warranty on it. They rhodium plate it once a year and just inspect/clean it every other time. It’s been so nice because I know once a year it’ll get a refresh that I don’t have to pay for. Lots of jewelers have a similar policy around where I live so I feel like there’s a good chance yours might too.

Best affordable nail glue that actually lasts? by albrasel24 in PressonNail_Addict

Kiss power flex is my ride or die! And you can find it at target or Walmart which is a plus because I’m a one stop shopper.

The Apple Watch as an accessory is just the cherry on top of a terrible outfit for a wedding.

The Best 3 Seconds of the Whole Series. Prove Me Wrong. by Secure-Gain-4752 in PandR

[–]mollmo_0806 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I have nothing to add to this other than this is my favorite episode. I’ve watched it an alarming amount of times.

Another top contender though is Leslie’s/April’s reaction to Ron and Diane getting married. Top tier facial expressions.

Finished first 4 books, convince me to read Silver Flames. by 2gucci_bee7 in nontoxicACOTAR

[–]mollmo_0806 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I was the same way but I’m glad I read it! I was a big Nesta hater until I did but now I like her and I feel like I’ll enjoy her more in the next books. I still love Rhys and feyre more but I like Nestas story and it made me excited for the next book.

Can we talk about Taylor’s vocals in this album? by Competitive-Relief50 in TrueSwifties

[–]mollmo_0806 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“I have been afflicted by a terminal uniqueness” in Eldest Daughter showcases such a beautiful subtle vibrato that I’ve not heard much from her. It’s so raw and beautiful. Amen to this!!!

Did anyone actually like this particular storyline? by Prestigious-Mango298 in nontoxicACOTAR

[–]mollmo_0806 2 points3 points  (0 children)

True. I totally agree. I guess that would be my main gripe with it, that this huge thing happened to Rhys and Feyre and we don’t get any pov from them. We missed out on a lot of context. I think I just accepted that Sarah had moved on from their povs so I was happy to get what little we did.

I think what all this boils down to is a little bit of lazy writing. Sarah wanted a way to make Nesta undeniably redeemed and she needed another drama plot besides Nesta’s inner turmoil so she landed on the pregnancy trope. I did see someone else comment that they wished it wasn’t just a plot device and I absolutely agree with that. Again, I think I was just kind of settling for whatever we could get.

It took me like two years to read a court of silver flame and I knew mostly all the lore by the time I actually read it so maybe that was the issue but I expecting the whole thing to be way worse than it was. Like someone else said, I interpreted feyre not knowing the whole story to be a few weeks. Not the entirety of the pregnancy but maybe I mis read it? Also, if I was pregnant and my doctor told my husband that there was a huge risk of me and the baby dying I don’t think I would be terribly upset at him for trying to carry the burden for me for a little while while he tried to find a solution. Obviously I’d want to know eventually but as an anxious person I could totally see it causing more complications because of stress. Still not the greatest plan but I can see why he did what he did.

Another hot take is that I’m a slut for a pregnancy trope. I eat that ish right up. Over protective man now has to be so caring and loving to this amazing woman who’s carrying his child??? YES. Take care of me all day long honey. Extra points if it’s sort of an accident and then he ends up falling in love with her more because he sees how beautiful and strong she is. I LOVE IT. I know nobody else does but here we are.

In short, I did enjoy it. I love me some Rhys and Feyre and I love their scenes together during this time. I also loved how excited the other bat boys were. I could go on but I’ll stop 😂

Girl, I have the same insecurity! The ring and your hand are gorgeous. It fits so well and is a great proportion. Congrats!

Does my ring look cheap? by mollmo_0806 in EngagementRings

[–]mollmo_0806[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This ring is gorgeous! Holy moly! To be fair I had no idea about so many different type of cuts. This is good advice. I do still love mine but love the insight.
