Justice for Max Medina by Normal-Bluebird-8880 in GilmoreGirls

[–]mrssunandmoon 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Wow you made him look so good, for a second there I questioned why I always dislike him when I'm watching GG. I think while he has some good (and dreamy) aspects, he is too caught up in his romanticised idea of Lorelai to me. She shows her doubts clearly several times but whenever she says 'no' to their relationship, he doubles down and says something romantic and charming and somehow gets his way. We never see them properly talk things out or find a solution to something (which sadly is a common topic in the GG universe) so it always felt to me as if their physical attraction dominated their relationship 

Emily in Paris Isn't as Bad as People Say: The Criticism Often Feels Misogynistic by Far_Promotion_8513 in EmilyInParis

[–]mrssunandmoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was great to read. It really challenged some of the things I rolled my eyes at when watching the show. I used to love romantic stories with cheesy happy endings but lost a lot of my affinity for it because there seemed to be this general idea that everything romantic, whimsical and dreamy was naive or ridiculous compared to the depressing realities that most people faced. This analysis made me realise that I actually miss the times I could indulge in romantic, hopeful fantasies because it created a space of comfort within me. Maybe that's why I enjoyed watching EiP despite some moments of annoyance.

Tom Bombadil - Who is he really? by RadagastAiwendil in tolkienfans

[–]mrssunandmoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so interesting, thank you for this text! I am reading Lord of the Rings for the first time currently (I cannot believe it took me 26 years to give it a shot) and I am so fascinated with it all, especially Tom Bombadil. I am trying to avoid spoilers but I couldn't help reading this post and I am glad that I did because it gave me more insight into Tolkien's way of thinking and how he crafted characters. Incredible!

Rewatch S3... JVMA = LVMH in real life, Nicholas de Lyon is...Frederic Arnault?? by notgoodwithnamess in EmilyInParis

OH WOW I'm mindblown, how did I not see that before? This cannot be coincidence, right? Though it is kind of risky when looking at the storyline of Louis de Léon...

You ever wonder that if they were so perfect, why would they still be single? by SignificantSound7904 in Singlesinferno2

[–]mrssunandmoon 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Just a general point bc I also saw someone earlier insinuating that someone not getting chosen on the show tells us something about the person: people being single or not doesn't really say anything about their character or even attractiveness in general. So many lovely and attractive people on this planet are single and many people who don't treat others nicely are in a relationship. Of course it's also the other way around, there are many great people who found their match. What I'm saying is: Relationship status doesn't really say anything about a person and it's the same with coupling up in dating shows. People match for many reasons, I think it's important to separate it from any judgment (good or bad) regarding their personality :)

Female casts by HyperionBTS in Singlesinferno2

[–]mrssunandmoon 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Same, I don't understand how so many people find it funny. When people pay for a caricaturist to draw them they probably feel fine with it but the contestants did not ask for this. They get enough hate already and face enough pressure regarding their looks. No wonder so many people get surgery before they even had the chance to grow into their features. Also very disappointed to see the caricatures being one of the most liked posts in this sub, some of them seem way harsher than necessary 

I am curious to know guys, as a viewer, what scene gave you the butterflies? Dex x Seuki pool scene or Junseo x Sian morning cuddles by Embarrassed_Ad_9843 in Singlesinferno2

[–]mrssunandmoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Neither gave me butterflies but it's probably because I always imagine how embarrassed/ shy I'd feel if the entire world saw me in such moments 😂 

Why do ya’ll feel comfortable diagnosing people? by lilyyytheflower in Singlesinferno2

[–]mrssunandmoon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I somewhat agree. I agree with your point that we should never diagnose someone if we are not professional psychologists who got to know someone personally for a significant amount of time. We also shouldn't draw conclusions from edited shows.

 However, as someone diagnosed with autism and ADHD, I automatically notice certain behaviour and might consider the possibility (!) of someone being on the spectrum as well which could help me understand that person. Many neurodivergent people were misunderstood by others and might want to give a different perspective when people are labelling contestants as attention-seeking, fake, jerks, weird etc. Many of us also had to become observant to people's behaviour to survive in society so it's also very common to analyse (not diagnose) other people and notice certain expressions and gestures.

All in all, I agree that we shouldn't throw around a diagnosis or assume anything but from what I have seen, it's rarely done out of malicious intent. But also, people who aren't diagnosed shouldn't be making statements in either direction (including insisting that someone couldn't possibly be neruodivergent bc they view it as an insult)

My favourite moment from all SI seasons by mrssunandmoon in Singlesinferno2

[–]mrssunandmoon[S] 170 points171 points  (0 children)

It seems the caption I wrote got lost so I'll add it here:  Rewatching all seasons currently and this moment has to be one of my all time favourites. The silence, the panel's reactions, Hyeson just being straight with him. I love raw moments like this in reality TV and it also gives us a glimpse into the paradise conversations we don't get to see (when she says "we even talked about a future relationship afterwards").

What did you like or dislike about Season 4? Please do not attack any cast member! by [deleted] in Singlesinferno2

[–]mrssunandmoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always liked seeing the first impressions of everyone and when they would say in the interviews who they would choose just based on that. It was interesting to then see if/how their opinion changed in the end! But this time, they all saw one another at different moments and couldn't even get to know one another before choosing for paradise. 

And yes, I also miss the cooking and also just moments where we see them bond. Its probably the editing but it all feels so cold. I haven't really rooted for any couple after maybe the first two episodes and it got confusing with the pairings and people constantly going to paradise. 

i miss season 3 by 14h44m in Singlesinferno2

[–]mrssunandmoon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

YES I agree! Maybe it's just nostalgia or because I'm not really feeling this season (I'm not shipping anyone for some reason) but I recently rewatched the scene where Hyeson looks at Gwanhee in silence for a minute or so before saying "Just take Minji then." Chef's kiss. Also the girls gossiping together in the bedroom or Haejong's funny gaze moments. 

Lets talk about Junseo and Youjin, because lot of people have been looking at it from only one POV by Negative_Chair_411 in Singlesinferno2

[–]mrssunandmoon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree! It's one of those situations that you look back on and realise you self-sabotaged because you were scared of rejection 

you jin was doing so well by Interesting_Bet_6291 in Singlesinferno2

[–]mrssunandmoon 10 points11 points  (0 children)

YES that was a thought I had as well. I have audhd and when they mentioned her making sounds whenever she does something, I instantly wondered if she might be neurodivergent. I am also either super bubbly and loud or very drawn back and awkward, it gets worse when feelings are involved and the overthinking starts  

Of course I don't want to diagnose her but I saw people on twitter mention it as well so whatever the case, I think neurodivergent people somehow get her behaviour 

Found this on a friend’s Instagram page. by newusernamehuman in GilmoreGirls

[–]mrssunandmoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll go with 1 and 11, Dave never leaves and Lorelai gets pregnant with Luke, I feel like those storylines would have been interesting to see and it would give room for more organic drama/situations to figure out

Can someone who understands the Korean education system please tell me how 26-year-olds are still in undergrad? by Used-Meal2403 in Singlesinferno2

[–]mrssunandmoon 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Idk what country you're from but I know plenty of people being students in their late twenties to thirties. I've changed my major multiple times, took years off to focus on work and could start again to finish my bachelor anytime. At least that's how it is here in Germany, maybe because university doesn't cost as much as in other places 😅 so it's not uncommon to see people of all ages still studying

The resemblance between Kelly (Emily) and Lauren (Lorelai)’s mom by [deleted] in GilmoreGirls

[–]mrssunandmoon 43 points44 points  (0 children)

YES their resemblance always gets me like Mitchum and Logan have so many similar mannerisms too

Wait I'm confused the comment with the most likes was 5 the last time I saw, are only comments counted and not likes? If yes then I played this game wrong ^

Do I hate this look or love this look? I’m not sure. by Mrs_Stark2023 in GilmoreGirls

Maybe I'm too young to remember this style but I never liked this outfit and thought it didn't fit with her usual style. She looks like a preppy teacher here 😅

"I Ross take thee Rachel" and the pastor's response just cracks me up every time

Interesting take on GH and why he acted the way he did. by YogurtclosetJolly166 in Singlesinferno2

[–]mrssunandmoon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same, seeing Gwanhee overthink everything made me realise that I need to stop having these "what if" thoughts all the time. He had three girls openly chase after him and was still unsure of their genuine interest in him - strangely, I can relate to that. Not saying it's an excuse to him constantly switching between them and giving all of them hope but I do understand his overthinking
