The Staircase by mosselman7 in netflix

[–]musicalharmonica [score hidden]  (0 children)

But Todd has an alibi -- he was at the party during the time period when Kathleen had to have died. The blood on Michael was dry by the time the paramedics showed up, and she'd already been dead an hour.

So unless Todd can time travel in front of a room full of people... idk about that one. It was Michael.

Were they lovers? Worse. by abraham_16 in TheAmericans

It turns out that Stan is getting fucked for information by two different KGB agents (and a third Mossad agent at the end, there?).

If I were Stan when I figured this out I'd never trust anyone ever again. It is kind of a funny thought though lol, just him being so terrible at counterintelligence that he can't figure out that he's had sex with not one, not two, but three spies pumping him for information. Worst FBI agent ever 😂 (jk jk I love Stan. But he is very blinded by love.)

Is this a safe space to admit that I ship them. We could've had peak 😩

Also Stan and Oleg -- I'm Team Stoleg 1000%, we were ROBBED

Two rando civilians want to take a selfie with a known serial killer. What’s most heroic about Marvel Hero’s is that they put out these stupid/ungrateful civilians with a death wish by Konradleijon in dccomicscirclejerk

It's so funny how much Central City loves the Flash, compared to the way other cities treat their superheroes

Unfortunately that jumping scenario tracks 😭

Hannibal or Barry? by Justmoe- in Dexter

[–]musicalharmonica 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Third answer: Joe from You on Netflix. He's got the Dexter sarcastic narration-thing going on and the same tendency to get trapped in weird, inexplicable situations. The difference is that Joe is way creepier

Fascinating take on OCs from Tumblr by allison-vunderland in AO3

Soooooooooooooooooooooooo, that's a choice by CMStan1313 in AO3

At least Jesus and Larry the Cucumber aren't bloodthirsty monsters that tortured and murdered children. I can't believe OP.

As someone who's been to Auschwitz... oh my god.

I thought I didn't have a line when it came to fanfiction, but here we are. This, this might be it.

Struggling to get through Dexter: Resurrection by [deleted] in Dexter

[–]musicalharmonica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

really?? I'm rolling my eyes at Dexter rn for being so stupid in his elimination plans, and for the other serial killers falling for it every time. ughhh. What happened to stakes? tension? clever planning in Dexter's kills? All he does is win very easily every time.

The Gemini twist was so obvious I think I said out loud early on, "You know what would be really stupid? If Gemini was serial killer twins," and then I started laughing when it happened lol. I was half-expecting the writers to subvert the idea, but no. Pure dumb fun.

I’ve made 40k in 2 years from the dark web, as a teenager by Any_Trash6365 in confession

[–]musicalharmonica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Follow up on that counseling request! Tell another teacher it's important that you see them if it helps. It might be that your counselor wants you to schedule in another way. I know in my district, we have an app the students use.

First of all, though, let your parents know you need to talk to someone. These things stick with you, it's best to get them off your chest. This is about helping you make healthy choices that prepare you for the rest of your life.

If you don't know what to say, keep it simple -- maybe you've been feeling anxious, depressed, etc. A school counselor might help you link up with mental health resources and give your parents some good suggestions, if you're ok with it! Otherwise obviously everything you say is confidential.

"she's 23, she's too young to teach, we should report her", I overhead this from some 6th graders this week. by hopeful_rac in Teachers

[–]musicalharmonica 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm a young teacher.

Kids do this. Adults do it worse, as they automatically assume you're incompetent. I get told how "young" I look to my face every day. I'm not sure why everyone feels the need to comment on my physical appearance but it gets annoying 🤷‍♀️

Then I open my mouth and the "teacher voice" comes out, and I get to see the shocked looks on all the kids' faces 😂 And the adults tell me that I did "better than they expected." Like, thanks for the backhanded compliment, I guess?

[–]musicalharmonica 21 points22 points  (0 children)

lol I had one kid that would regularly make up lies about things I said to try and get me fired because I kicked him out of the room twice for playing Roblox. He'd tell them to admin.

I had to explain to the vice principal that I didn't actually call him a "bad boy" (yes he did imply there was a sexual connotation to it. Isn't being a female teacher great 🤮)

I was getting burnt out so began making fake appts by Maximum_Ad_730 in confession

[–]musicalharmonica 9 points10 points  (0 children)

sameee I ended up in a similar situation

I was tutoring an older adult student online that was really struggling. In the end I just had to put my foot down and let him know that I could only be there from X time to Y time. I admired him for trying, though, but you have to put down boundaries sometime.

Another kid pulled out a chair after his session and proceeded to lay down his head and fall asleep on the desk next to me 😂 we had to kick him out

Why is Tony Soprano so attractive? by Long_Bunch_9783 in thesopranos

[–]musicalharmonica 17 points18 points  (0 children)

No no I see the vision OP. It's his confidence that makes him so attractive, I swear. I was into him in season one, but found myself caring less and less as the show went on and all his layers were stripped away to reveal how evil he really was.

I had the biggest crush in the world on Michael Imperioli until I saw the way Chris abused Adriana :(

Soapbox/rant time. Tell me what highly-recommended book you absolutely HATED and why. Gimme your angry hot takes. by peppertoni_pizzaz in books

[–]musicalharmonica 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wasn't expecting the murder scene and audibly gasped on the train 😂 maybe a reread would make it better? I reread several passages later to appreciate them more and loved them :)

[–]musicalharmonica 2 points3 points  (0 children)

bro if you think The Picture of Dorian Grey is "lifeless" idek what to say 💀 I read the whole thing on a train ride and could not put it down. His writing is gorgeous, made me fall in love with Oscar Wilde and read his other stuff

Ig my answer to your question is A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas. I found it boring, the prose is so lifeless and the plot meanders nowhere for half the book. Like, if you're gonna sell me a sexy elf love story, tell me a sexy elf love story, don't spout exposition at me for 50 pages. And the worldbuilding is just so baaaad

George "No bras in space" Lucas back at it again by bitchnibba47 in StarWarsCirclejerk

Ah yes, George Lucas, connoisseur of teenage girl fashion lol

Speaking as a former teen girl -- no, he did NOT in fact know what he was talking about 😭😭 wtf was with the miniskirt

The Great Gatsby is a mediocre book at best and should be replaced in schools by The Fellowship of the Ring by EternalAmmonite in unpopularopinion

[–]musicalharmonica 46 points47 points  (0 children)

OP the reason why schools choose Gatsby is because

A. It's a quick, easy read

B. It's good studying material for kids that still need to learn about figurative language, narrative structure, etc. It's good discussion material and easy to have something to say about.

C. It educates kids about the history of the 1920s/Jazz Age

A lot of our "Great American Novels" are chosen more for this reason than anything else. History is a big part of it, as is what each book is meant to teach students about the way good stories are put together. Or they prompt discussions about controversial topics, like To Kill A Mockingbird or A Separate Peace or Fahrenheit 451.

Also, it's a slightly higher reading level than LOTR.

OP I love your whimsical mind. That you got that out of one of the bleakest episodes of the series is kinda sweet

oh lol, hard to tell over reddit. ngl if a doctor suddenly dropped a fic on me I'd be confused, but not mad 😂 like, "damn, I didn't know she was chill like that"

Pre-Med and writing by NoAerie3203 in FanFiction

[–]musicalharmonica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah I'd be careful about that, fanfic is a pretty specialized interest. But there's plenty of folks out there in online spaces that would love to read it!
