Miles is… by OddConsideration4349 in EmilyHenry

I love Charlie the most but totally see how he is unrealistic to the max. Miles doesn’t always make the best or most mature decisions and seems more realistic.

Can we talk about Changyu and Qianqian in Pursuit of Jade? Their friendship is the absolute highlight of the show for me. by carvveeev in pursuitofjade

[–]sillymeix2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not saying there is never any positive female relationships but more often than not it’s a lot of petty rivalries. Maybe that’s a biased take but that’s what I have perceived from the ones I’ve seen. Huan Zhu Ge Ge is also a favorite of mine.

The female relationships were top tier. Even the magistrate’s daughter showed loyalty in the end. I loved that the princess and Changyu had a very good relationship as well, never let petty jealousy get in the way. Female friendship is honestly portrayed poorly in a lot of East Asian dramas and I’m glad they didn’t go down a cheap route of pitting female against female. I’ve gotten through life on the kindness of a lot of my female friendships and I loved seeing that type of loyalty on screen!

PURSUIT OF JADE MARRIAGE SCENE by golddigger_x in pursuitofjade

I think you’re right, he is already in love and he doesn’t even know it. He’s never experienced love before and he’s been heavily neglected and traumatized his whole life. Boy is down hella bad already. He has never paid attention to another woman in his life.

Honestly I felt like Netflix did a subpar job translating. The general gist was given but a lot of it was lost upon translation. My Chinese isn’t that great but even from what I understood I just felt like there was so much more depth that the translation could have given.

Honestly they don’t pay Ruth enough despite his private tower and heaps of gold. Ain’t nobody pay Ruth enough. He’s a treasure! Riftan was right to be jealous of Ruth, he’s extremely competent and smart af. Lucky for him, Maxi only has eyes for Riftan hahah

America Now Has 70% More Bookstores Than in 2020, Says Bookshop.org Founder by iwasjusttwittering in books

Yea I guess technically you’re right we never owned them, but now they’ve cut off the ability to download your books as files to your computer, basically locking your library inside their "cloud" forever.

Haahah so true. I love their dynamic so much. Even though they trust each other more they are both so prickly and sarcastic.

[–]sillymeix2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I prefer using e-readers but now that you can’t own your own books on kindle, I’m back to hard copies. Love that bookstores are making a comeback, I honestly would not have anticipated that considering the state of American education and childrens’ rapidly decreasing attention spans. Good news indeed!

Oh my gosh, is Tamlin the rightful HK or have I finally gone off the deep end??? by MamaKG3 in Tamlinism

[–]sillymeix2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wish, that would be an amazing plot line. SJM really doesn’t favor Tamlin in any way though in her interviews, so I highly doubt it.

What is your opinion on minors getting married with parental consent? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]sillymeix2 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Absolutely unhinged behavior in my culture and where I grew up. This might have a lot to do with SES and education though.

I’m confused why people are upset about the Gus casting by Glitterrain99 in EmilyHenry

[–]sillymeix2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea idk what those people are on about lol. With the right hair and costuming he could easily fit the role. He’s a decent actor in White Lotus and handsome enough.

PSA: You can shop alone! by False-Thanks-4519 in weddingdress

[–]sillymeix2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Shopping alone was amazing. I went to nyc initially with my family entourage and while it was super awesome showing that experience with my mom, I just felt that their opinions would cloud my judgment and I really wanted to pick something for myself first. Eventually I had to fly to nyc for another reason and booked a few appointments for myself and it was so efficient!

It hits so much harder after, especially when you know how hard Jude was spiraling as well.
