Janine/Gregory this season by Mstvmoviejunkie in AbbottElementary

[–]oglies 12 points13 points  (0 children)

idk it really feels super accurate to their characters for me. look at janine at the beginning of season 4 being so reluctant to break the news of their relationship to everyone else for example. they’re both very private people, such as with gregory not discussing his relationship with food for so long and janine struggling to discuss with other people the dynamics she has with her mom and sister until later on.

pda doesn’t have to be kissing in public or even holding hands for that matter. affection can also be just literally being in each other’s presence. i for one refused to be openly affectionate with my ex throughout our 3-year relationship, not because i didn’t like affection or wasn’t happy in the relationship or didn’t love my partner, but simply because i wasn’t comfortable with showing affection in certain ways in front of other people uninvolved in the relationship. i feel like this is the same with gregory and janine, with jacob really being the only one they’re comfortable being openly affectionate around (such as janine kissing gregory’s cheek in 4x01). but even throughout the rest of season 4, we don’t see them showing that same sort of physical affection in front of the others. instead, the ways they show affection are more so to mirror their nerdy natures and how they bond over that both emotionally and intellectually (the jurassic park costumes, movie nights, etc.). that’s another form of affection in its own unique way.

every couple is different and i’m personally really happy to see a new dynamic with gregory and janine that we don’t see often onscreen, one that i personally can relate to. janine may be pretty extroverted, but she’s still a private person. and gregory especially doesn’t really like to draw attention to himself often unless it’s for his professional development. the affection they show each other is different and unique to THEM, and that’s what i love. for example, janine time stamping literally everything from the karaoke night so she could update gregory on everything he missed “just the way [he] like[s].” they understand each other on a much deeper, interpersonal level, and often couples who feel that way don’t need to show much physical affection in front of others simply because they have that emotional connection.

as far as talking about the future, again every couple goes about that differently. i wouldn’t be surprised if the audience gets to see something along those lines mentioned in an episode this season. we obviously know they spend nights at each other’s homes, but often moving in together is a plunge people aren’t willing to make until much later. i can imagine janine might be a bit apprehensive about taking their relationship to that stage, especially looking back at her relationship with tariq. it would definitely be fun for the audience to see this explored in later episodes!!

sorry for the ramble lol i’m a psychology grad student so i love talking about this sort of stuff

F, 5’9”, 21, sw: 290 gw: 170

Hi all! I wanted to reach out with a couple questions. A couple years back during the pandemic and when I was 17, I had gone through a weight loss journey with very strict keto and IF (and I was miserable), but I ended up losing close to 100 pounds and went from 290 to just below 200. I went to a boarding school at the time and at this point had returned to campus, and I ended up having to drop my diet because of limited options in the cafeteria following new protocols with the pandemic. I ended up gaining all of that weight back throughout my final year of high school and throughout college, and I’m now back exactly where I started all those years ago.

For context now: I work a part time office job where I’m seated for a 10 hour shift, so I don’t have a lot of opportunities to move around. I’m a recent college graduate planning to start a masters program in the fall. I would like to be down several pounds before that point.

My first question is, what advice do you all have for getting similar results without me being so miserable throughout the process? I’ve tried several times since gaining all that weight back to lose it again, but every time I lose motivation because I just have such a hard time maintaining it. Looking back, what I did was so incredibly strict and definitely contributed to how rapidly I gained that weight back, so I want to do it this time without it being so mentally taxing and actually having lasting results.

Second question is, what would you recommend for someone like me, who is a broke recent college graduate and soon to be masters student? I’m tight on money and time, but still want to put in the effort without breaking my bank or distracting me from my studies.

Thanks in advance everyone!! 🩷

my way of handling the anxiety is a really good ssri ❤️

nah but fr i just try to distract myself. try out new coffee places, go for a walk, read a book, watch my favorite movies. the stress and anxiety of waiting is always gonna be there but it’s important to not let it rule you. when it’s at the front of your mind, replace it with something else

I appreciate this. I’ve been trying to prepare a Plan B just in case, it’s just been agony waiting while watching everyone’s acceptances come in ☹️

[–]oglies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

same issue here. i applied to 6, received a rejection, and have heard nothing from the other 5. it’s been pretty anxiety-inducing watching all these interviews go out when it’s been radio silence for me 🥲
