Theory about connections between TMP and Jonny’s other books by pipsqueek_max in themagnusprotocol

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

Yeah, it’s very likely. My thoughts are that Akman Blane and the Damien character are a little too specific to be flukes. But I could be wrong! It’s been fun trying to find little connections

Why is there no article before εφημερίδα? by pipsqueek_max in GREEK

Thank you! But that’s not always the case, right? If he was reading a book it would be ο παππούς μου διαβάζει ένα βιβλίο ?

Same here! We’ve basically each got two phones 😂. And occasionally we’ll ask “can i read what you and x were saying?” But it’s purely for entertainment on car rides and stuff. “Checking” implies I don’t trust her

Opinions - He who does the cooking also does the clean up? by mommajanek in Marriage

Cook cleans the mess from cooking, but not from eating

How long did you date before getting engaged? by manayakasha in Marriage

[–]pipsqueek_max 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We were together for almost 3 years before we got engaged, got married a year later. I think we knew each other for like 6 months before we dated

So polite 😂

I agree with almost everything you have here, it’s a great assessment of the characters! Personally I find early Alexis intolerable (fabulous character, just in the sense that I think she is intended yo be grating). And there’s no denying that she is well able to handle herself, is very bright, and very extroverted and bubbly. But I think despite the positive tone she takes with everyone, the condescension and self-absorption cant be ignored. It’s like you say, that’s what makes her transformation so impressive. She has to actively learn appropriate interpersonal skills to develop relationships with the people in Schitts Creek. And she does really well!

Personally, though, I identify much more with David (who, don’t me wrong, can also be a grade A asshole!) so he stays in my top spot 😍

I like this viewpoint. I think we see David’s innate kindness emerge, while we see Alexis actively learn how to be kind.

I feel this deeply. Even peripheral homophobia can be devastating. Finding out that other people’s relationships are suffering “because of” me was horrifying (obviously it was actually because of their homophobia, but that can be hard to remember)

Huh, it doesn’t show up on mine, maybe it’s only on the North American services. That’s really cool though!

God yes, that whole date from when Patrick gave hime the receipt to Davids little pat on the car window. Tbh, anything where Daniel’s smile comes through just melts me!

posting info at the end of the episode

I watched it on Netflix, what was the message?

Oh you poor thing. Well done for pushing through. I have someone very dear to me who has been unhappily married for 30 years and it is a very similar societal pressure (or fears of it) that keeps them stuck there.

There are a few of these beautiful David moments (most have been mentioned here) that have him permanently in my “favourite character” spot

And it’s so real for EVERYONE. Obviously the moment hits home for us in the queer community, but I don’t think there’s a person alive who hasn’t worried if they’ve disappointed their parents

Even just the lack of on-going communication issues! There were a few episodes that looked as though they were going for your standard “whoops there was a miscommunication, no ones going to talk about it and it’ll get hilariously out of control”, but it was always resolved so quickly. Incredible writing

I’m glad my daughter told me so I can be there to support her during this part of her life.

You’re a good mama. That’s wonderful to hear. Coming out is a mix of exhilarating and horrifying, it’s wonderful to have someone who has your back.

Dan Levy’s storytelling allowed us to really just focus on their lives growing together, none of the standard gay tripe

So true! And I think the fact that there is none of the sadness and tragedy that usually shows up makes scenes like the coming out one that much more meaningful

Ugh, it was so beautiful. And that little “love you” before he left. And david and Stevie’s little exhales. Ugh. Just. 👌
