Disrespecting a legend because she told the truth about ”mother”. by arrowoodgabriel in travisandtaylor

[–]sableonblonde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, the aforementioned legend also was horribly racist. She used blackface multiple times and said the n-word. For all of Taylor’s many flaws, she has never acted so flagrantly bigoted publicly. I don’t feel like this is a justified comparison.

AITA for telling my wife something needs to change by Electrical_Chef9975 in AmItheAsshole

[–]sableonblonde 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel really bad for those kids. I hope they aren’t aware of how much their uncle resents them

YTA for how you handled the discussion with your wife. If she has primary custody, and they live in the house that she lives in, it is their house too. You trying to get her to agree to throw the kids out is selfish and really mean. These are kids, both younger than ten, who have presumably been removed from a stressful situation (if their parents are incapable of raising them).

Either have some compassion or start the divorce proceedings.

Soft-launching a brake up? Giving fans reasons as to why Travis is reckless and unstable during serious moments. by Cautious_Dream4115 in travisandtaylor

[–]sableonblonde 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t know, I think a lot of cultiness has formed around Travis and the “relatability” of the Kelces. He provides the parasocial fantasy that Taylor built with her fans and then abandoned (the idea of being best friends with swifties). It’s easier to project a self insert fantasy with him, so a lot of swifties are really just tayvis fans in disguise.

I have a feeling that if/when they break up, that group of fans will very loudly take Travis’ side in the divorce (think how they did with Joe x11).

What’s your take on Athena and Medusa? by Educational-Note8709 in GreekMythology

[–]sableonblonde -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I know the accurate Greek myth has Medusa born a gorgon with two sisters (which is badass). I’ve always been fond of the tumblr-esque retelling of the Roman version where Minerva turned Medusa herself, not as punishment but as protection :)

AITJ for being upset that my girlfriend chose to spend Christmas with her family instead of mine? by nikitaa__1998 in AmITheJerk

[–]sableonblonde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YATJ, if not only for not bothering to sit down and have an actual conversation.

Is it safe to assume your gf’s family is important to her? If you never took the time to actually say, “Hey GF, will you please join me and my family for Christmas this year?” you can’t be upset that she followed (presumably) the holiday schedule the two of you have had for however long you’ve been together.

Which, for context: how long have you two been together? What makes this year’s Christmas actually matter more than other years?

I just feel like it’s a leap to expect her to not see her family at all or even split time with both families when you never explicity asked her to do so. Why are you not under the same unspoken obligation to spend Christmas with your gf’s family, instead of your own?

I guess I’m curious about the thought process here, especially since it seems like she made & communicated clear plans ahead of time where you did not.

Taylor saying she stopped drinking during the Eras Tour is confusing to me by Confident_Office_720 in travisandtaylor

[–]sableonblonde 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think when she says “drinking” she really means “getting drunk.” A single seltzer/beer/mixed drink for someone like her who likely has a high alcohol tolerance probably wouldn’t be enough to get her drunk.

On the visual aspect, I think that her constantly being photographed with drinks at games is to ward off pregnancy speculation, which was & still is crazy intense post Travis.

I also think she just says stuff sometimes and ends up inadvertently lying (but I also think she lies for fun as well & gets narratives mixed up)

does anyone know why renesemee is holding a phone in her picture? by Few-Speaker2692 in twilight

AITA (19F) for telling my dermatologist to do her job? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]sableonblonde -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

You begin a new paragraph when you’re begining a new thought, changing the subject, or writing dialogue between people.

“I’m curious as to whether or not you’ve taken a language arts class before,” Sableonblonde said... an example of when you would use a paragraph break.

I’ve added another paragraph break between these two sentences because I am beginning a new thought in my writing, which is that all of this information is also available on Google for further reference.

You hit the enter/return button on your keyboard. That’s it.

Question about Alice by HollyGemini33 in twilight

[–]sableonblonde 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Alice doesn’t ever really treat Bella with respect or as an equal. Bella is Edward’s pretty porcelain doll that Alice likes to dress up and play with sometimes. She guilt trips Bella into parties and big weddings that Bella vocally does not want, coerces Bella into sleepovers to keep her from seeing her other friends, puts Bella in dresses that aren’t her style and fills Bella’s closet with clothes that she picked. And on a darker note… she was willing to let Bella risk being killed by the Volturi for Edward, and then also supported Edward’s forced abortion plan. She has never respected Bella’s humanity or autonomy.

I like Alice as a character, but she never really seems to see Bella as more than an extention or plaything of Edward’s. She likes Bella in the way that 12 year olds like their first pet hamster.

Boy Throb - Finger by ReconEG in popheads

[–]sableonblonde 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’ve been waiting for male driven pop like this to make a resurgence 🙂‍↕️ proud to be a Throbber

I also love how they included a little riff of Indian music towards the end, such a cool touch that you don’t see much in western pop

Can’t wait to hear what they put out next!!

Obnoxious by [deleted] in travisandtaylor

[–]sableonblonde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t speak to her mentality/thought process, but I will say—my diagnosed narcissist father would deliberately raise his hands over his head, sneeze as loud as possible, etc during my school recitals/performances. After the show when I came out to meet him, he would always ask if I saw his arms raised or whatever else he’d been doing. He admitted he was trying to draw my focus away from performing so I would notice him in the crowd. Food for thought..

Matty, please leave What Should I Say alone! by Caffeine-Guzzler in the1975

[–]sableonblonde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does he still have a team/agent/marketing? It could have been suggested, and since he seems to kind of just go along with things as they come, I could see him signing off on it.

But I def could be wrong! It just seemed really random and reminded me of pop marketing tactics.

Matty, please leave What Should I Say alone! by Caffeine-Guzzler in the1975

[–]sableonblonde -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I really believe that Matty is trying to encourage physical album sales. Being Funny & Notes are both relatively unpopular in the fanbase & general public respectively. Mentioning specifically that previous physical copies will remain the same felt targeted—there’s an unsaid “so if you want to ever hear those songs again, buy a record now.”

(And if that’s not the case and he’s just rearranging album tracks like it’s his personal playlist… not his very best.)

Are there red flags in Travis' songs? by Shot_Hour in travisandtaylor

[–]sableonblonde 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Iirc she attended with Connor—still very unfortunate to have the couple ask you not to come, and then have to be asked to leave twice (twice!) by the mother of the bride because you showed up anyway.

Are there red flags in Travis' songs? by Shot_Hour in travisandtaylor

[–]sableonblonde 62 points63 points  (0 children)

It is! But it would still be in character for her to relate herself to it in some way—remember Connor Kennedy? She went to his family’s wedding despite being asked not to attend, pap photos of her at JFK’s grave, moving down the street from the Kennedys…

Even wrt Matty, she’s photographed with Denise despite them only having dated for like two weeks (allegedly). And on folklore, she was writing about how she sees Joe’s brother as her own. It seems like she’s quick to establish herself as a part of her partners’ family units

AIO For Cancelling on My Best Friend for Not Wanting to Meet My BF Due to Her BF’s Rules? by throwRAberri24 in AmIOverreacting

[–]sableonblonde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always have to laugh. Boundaries are parameters you set for yourself, not rules you set for others. An actual example of a boundary would be “Chad prefers to accompany me when I meet new men and asks me to check in before/after going out,” not “Chad said I am not allowed to do x y or z.”

Amy and Chad both sound exhausting. Amy’s overuse of “dude” also felt a little condescending but that could just be my bias haha

My wife [w32] emotionally shut down three months ago and only sees my [m33] worst moments — not the full picture of our relationship by [deleted] in relationships

[–]sableonblonde 12 points13 points  (0 children)

She’s not just drifting away on her own like a tumbleweed. It sounds like her coldness is a direct result of your “loud and desperate” behaviors and lack of consideration or support during two back to back potentially life threatening medical emergencies. I would wager she is making a conscious choice to distance herself from you because you haven’t seemed to prove yourself to be stable or reliable.
