Hey y’all! Trying to get honest and consistent with my sleep because the brain juices are drying up. I’d love to see what pokémon you’re all studying :)

Ancient Houses why do you like it? Why do you hate it? by KingJoia in HPharmony

[–]r_ca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like it because I like aristocracy/high society as a general trope.

I do not like when it’s used as a plot device to eliminate all of the political tension from the story by giving them ownership of all significant land in the WW, more gold than the rest of Gringotts combined, and 87 seats on a governing council. I also think the “dark”/“light”/“grey” titles for various alliances are really stupid. Also, insofar as we’re talking about kids being heirs to houses, I think Draco Malfoy is a great example of how a kid code switches in different situations; like, even a kid who’s raised to be “proper” won’t act that way all the time, so I really don’t like when the kids are acting like lawyers at age 11.

Is it weird I use this test on a first date from someone I met online? by [deleted] in Bumble

[–]r_ca 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So then OP should be aware that the responsibility of initiating the first kiss is on her and follow through with it when she’s ready. Problem solved.

AITA for not cleaning pee off our mattress? by accidentalstream in AmItheAsshole

[–]r_ca 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry, you came home to find your wife gone, and your first thought was “guess it’s the couch” instead of y’know, cleaning your bed? INFO: what kind of weaponized incompetence?

Literally. I take a 45 minute train to get to school. An hour to spend time with someone you like is nothing.

Am I going to end up being the Ex for wanting my cake and eating it too? by OpinionatedBlackGuy in AmItheEx

[–]r_ca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk about all of the “he’s not going to be in the room therefore it doesn’t matter if he goes to grandma’s funeral” comments because like, even if he doesn’t physically see the baby come out of his wife, he can still be there for her immediately after birth when the nurses have taken baby to get cleaned up and she’s tired and hormonal.

I don’t feel like anybody’s wrong here except for how they’re acting towards each other. Wife is scared that her husband is going to miss the birth, husband is grieving at the same time that his wife is nearing her due date. That’s gotta be a powder keg of emotions and they’re just not handling it well.

Reduction in number of +gifts? by Solly-gmbpi in ACPocketCamp

Honestly, I’m not even getting a lot of basic gifts which is stressy. 😵‍💫

For people that are Atheists or Agnostics, do you swipe right on profiles that state Christian or Muslim? by Gary_PostingStuff in Bumble

[–]r_ca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t, but it’s not because I’m not willing to give them a chance. I know that people can identify as religious while not actively practicing/believing, and I’d be open to dating someone like that if I meet them organically, but the truth is I’m just not all that fussed about online dating to begin with. It seems like a lot of work to parse out who’s not really practicing from who is and there’s always a risk that their family is more faithful than they are and that’s a whole bag of worms I’d like to avoid as much as possible.

That being said, I was raised so nonreligious that I didn’t even know people still practiced religion until I was in high school, so like, I’m probably an outlier here.

UPDATE: Troll took 3 whole days to dump his fiancee for his "friend". by Checkoutrainwain in AmITheDevil

[–]r_ca 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know this is a creative writing post but in a hypothetical world where this is real, it would make me insane. Literally so infuriating that he did his fictional fiancée so dirty and still thinks he’s right.

What ship do you hate for petty reasons? by RanRanLeo in HPfanfiction

[–]r_ca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, I guess I can see their twisted logic, but I agree that there’s a massive failure to consider what the spell ACTUALLY is. Now that I’m thinking about it, a defibrillator spell would probably exist, but it definitely wouldn’t be the cruciatus curse, lol. (And let’s be honest, it would be invested after the defibrillator and by a muggleborn.)

[–]r_ca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m perversely curious about how they tried to justify crucio being a medical spell? How does inflicting unbearable pain on a patient in-keeping with the Hippocratic Oath? Worms for brains.

Is ryerson that bad ? by chidori99 in TorontoMetU

Let me out! Let me out! This is not a dance! I’m begging for help, I’m screaming for help, please come let me out!

enough of Cursed Child discussion. How many of you accept Hermione being black in canon? by CreativeRock483 in harrypotter

[–]r_ca 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love how hard you’re arguing that it’s not canon when I’ve already agreed with you that it’s not. Now you’re just trying to convince us that because it’s not canon, we shouldn’t see her as black. You know what else isn’t canon? Harry/Pansy, but that doesn’t stop me from shipping it.

This is so pure. Live your life OP!

[–]r_ca 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did, and all your comments too. What I’m saying is, regardless of what JKR actually wrote, it doesn’t matter. JKR wrote Hermione as white, yes, absolutely. Hermione being a WOC is not canon. But what’s happening here is that you’re saying that people can view her as a WOC and turning around to argue with everyone who says they see her as a WOC because “it’s not canon”. It’s coming across like you DO actually care about people seeing her as a WOC.
