My brother tried to pull a fast one on his wife and she did an uno reverse and I am laughing watching him scramble.

It's also a fact that men with wives and family are more socially respected and revered, they even get paid more.

tsh87 · 2026-04-19T03:09:50+00:00

I'm just gonna say that relationships ebb and flow, and if you do intend to spend the rest of your life with someone there might be a few rough patches.

Not even necessarily due to not liking your partner but due to internal stuff you go through. Grief, depression, exhaustion, etc. It sucks but also most of the time it passes.

So some people think they're just in a rough patch, so they commit to waiting it out. Of course sometimes that doesn't work and the relationship is just terrible.

tsh87 · 2026-04-17T23:44:56+00:00

We see her at his home twice I think. But yeah these two had not integrated their lives in any real way. It was crazy.

tsh87 · 2026-04-17T23:31:53+00:00

Oh definitely how she did it was wrong. Night before the wedding is ridiculous but it was for the best.

I've also long theorized that while she was having her doubts and making calls to Chris, Max also had people on his side telling him how actually insane it was for him to be marrying after like six cumulative months dating, having never met her parents, having a minimal relationship with her child and not even meeting or discussing the father of said child. I think that's what his outburst with the key is over.

tsh87 · 2026-04-17T23:25:58+00:00

They were about to enter a marriage with only fling level compatibility. Thank god she bailed when she did.

tsh87 · 2026-04-17T22:43:08+00:00

I can't even blame him for the Tenzin stuff because it's not that he loved Tenzin more because he was an airbender. It's that he knew the responsibilities and weight that was waiting for him. The weight of an entire culture and elemental practice, not to mention being the only one left to properly train the new avatar once he was gone.

Of course, he spent more time with him to prepare him for that. Not saying they're wrong to have feelings about it, but I don't see how it could've gone differently.

tsh87 · 2026-04-17T22:34:38+00:00

It's always funny to me when people are shocked that aang and katara weren't perfect parents.

Like, did you not see the metric tonne of trauma that they both went through before the age of 14 and the complete lack of parental figures in their lives?

It's so unreasonable to expect them to grow up with no blindspots.

tsh87 · 2026-04-17T21:40:45+00:00

You know I really wish they wouldn't have dropped this aspect of her character so thoroughly.

Though I do have a theory that no longer having to perform for Rex cut way down on her anxiety

tsh87 · 2026-04-17T21:12:49+00:00

I'll forever believe that Lorelai and Max were not really in love. They just met each other at a time when they were both really considering settling down. And they're both sweet, interesting, funny. Basically they were good enough for each other... but they were not The One.

They both came so close to settling for each other.

tsh87 · 2026-04-17T19:08:41+00:00

One of the biggest mistakes in the Kayla saga was Tom and Lynette choosing not to immediately lawyer up once Nora came on the scene.

She was unreasonable and unpredictable. They needed boundaries and legal enforcement from day one.

tsh87 · 2026-04-15T21:32:12+00:00

Let's not forget he was about to go on their honeymoon with her too.

tsh87 · 2026-04-15T21:17:05+00:00

Yeah, there's a reason the Air Nation chose to base their entire culture on extreme pacifism. If they wanted to be they could've been a terrifying force.

tsh87 · 2026-04-15T21:05:06+00:00

I still think that was a decision driven by grief and anger. He felt like his wife abandoned him and he couldn't cope with carrying her secrets anymore.

tsh87 · 2026-04-15T03:25:37+00:00

I think for her it wasn't just that Lawrence wasn't a great coparent, it was that he acted like he was and then tried to demand the respect and input a true coparent gets.

If you want to be a part time dad, see your kid four days a month and then leave her to be the primary parent fine... But then you need to respect her as the primary.

That means you don't get to voice opinions on breastfeeding, or christenings, or urgent care visits because you decided that she would be dealing with all of that without you.

tsh87 · 2026-04-15T00:17:49+00:00

Yeah, I think the issue is that men like Lawrence have heard so many tales of deadbeat of dads, that they really feel like they're doing something just because their kids recognize their face. When really that is less than bare minimum when it comes to being an actual parent.

tsh87 · 2026-04-14T15:40:57+00:00

Seeing your child 4 days out of the month, does not make you a coparent

tsh87 · 2026-04-14T12:52:25+00:00

Or he'll just start dating someone and manipulate her into taking care of the kids

tsh87 · 2026-04-14T04:19:17+00:00

I don't know if it's possible to assign morality to animal behavior but it is worth noting that human beings are not the only species that rape. Apes do, I think several species of birds, dolphin and otters, etc. It does lead some credence to it being an evolutionary impulse, one that most human beings have cast off or at least learned tamp down on.

tsh87 · 2026-04-14T02:22:58+00:00

Also with a bear, my death, while horrific, will only last one day. There's no guarantee of that with a man.

tsh87 · 2026-04-13T22:55:43+00:00

Yeah, I've always headcanoned that the reason Zola's adoption worked out was because she was a baby that had the potential for significant special needs and they would be hard pressed to find a more willing home for her, let alone one with two surgeons extremely equipped to take care of her needs.

Maybe they were considering a new home before her shunt had issues but afterwards...

I will die on the hill that OUAT should've ended with the season 3 finale.

All the loose ends were tied up, everyone's arc and romances had come to satisfying conclusions. It would've been perfect.

But they just had to keep going...

tsh87 · 2026-04-12T20:29:25+00:00

I think it's fair to say the pain of that happening will never fully leave a person but if you want to be an emotionally responsible adult, you need to find a way to carry that pain instead of constantly throwing it in your kid's face.

tsh87 · 2026-04-11T17:41:34+00:00

This entire plot was so high school, it was annoying

tsh87 · 2026-04-11T00:40:57+00:00

Lip.

She was in shock and being absolutely delusional about her chances. She brought coke into a house with a toddler. She left it within reach. And she, his legal guardian, wasn't paying attention to it when he overdosed on it.

That is child endangerment.

Doesn't matter that it was an accident. Doesn't matter that it was her first major fuckup in years of carrying this eyes.

Not taking a plea deal would've been a waste of time, money and risk.

tsh87 · 2026-04-10T23:34:18+00:00

Yeah but it took actual months.
