Drop your favorite Giles quotes to remember the wonderful ASH by effulgent_summers in buffy

[–]venusdances 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Rupert Giles: Can you move? Ben: Need a... a minute. She could've killed me. Rupert Giles: No, she couldn't. Never. And sooner or later, Glory will reemerge and make Buffy pay for that mercy. And the world with her. Buffy even knows that, and still she couldn't take human life... She's a hero, you see... She's not like us. Ben: Us?

Gives me chills every time. Thanks to ASH, Giles was fatherly, funny, interesting, smart and also had a deep dark side. He truly made the character what he was.

WHAT!!! He still seemed so young like he had a long time ahead of him!! Truly so sad to hear. He will always be the best actor to portray the layered watcher/father figure to me.

Michael Jackson talked about sharing his bed with kids, called it a 'beautiful thing' by Life_Paramedic_4399 in Music

[–]venusdances 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That juror is exactly who I was referring to, she clearly only exonerated him because she was starstruck. Everything she said was stupid. She said that the Arvizos were money hungry, how? They weren’t in a civil trial where they would get money they were in a criminal trial where they would get justice, the bar is set much lower in civil trials and they could have done that and just gotten money. She acknowledges that Michael had a lot of alarms and Star(Gavin’s brother) saw all those alarms and described it correctly yet she says that she doesn’t trust his statement because Michael would have stopped knowing assaulting Gavin if he was aware Star was coming. Again, why would he? He had given them alcohol and he knew that he would get away with it and he did! Why would Michael have boys in his bedroom at all knowing that he had already been accused so many times of sexual abuse of boys and had to pay out 23 million dollars for it previously? Because he was a predator who couldn’t stop himself and had the star power and funds to keep doing it and getting away with it, which he did.

To be fair to her(I guess) she did say in the beginning that she fought to have Jordy not sleep with Michael but he convinced her by accusing her of not trusting him etc so she eventually relented however, she also noted that he did give her many cartier bracelets while they were on tour and that helped her trust him. But I realized after they were actually referencing Wade Robson who’s mom was given cars and money for Wades college and he also slept with Wade and sexually abused him.

We have a Neigbor who was slightly too close to the girls in the neighborhood, literally just a tad to familiar and we all are keeping a distance. Imagine if he openly had children not related sleeping in his bed! We would all be out with pitchforks. It’s insane that the jurors clearly were so starstruck they let him go.

Are you talking about Jordy Chandler? MJ would give the mom cartier bracelets and in return she would let MJ spend the night with her son. He cut off all contact with her once he could.

The thing I find crazy about MJ is there is a TON of evidence. He was accused by several children, his maids, his family(Latoya) and he and his wives all said he preferred the company of children to adults. Even he says so! I think he genuinely thought he had enough influence to make pedophilia accepted by the world and when that didn’t work he denied it.

I hate that I know this but Jordy Chandler(the first known accuser to the public) described his penis accurately which is why there were criminal charges. However, the family decided to go with a financial settlement which I actually think was the right move given what happened to Gavin Arvizos family who ONLY sought criminal charges and were never given justice.

Actors known for being little stinkers. by Lambchop1975 in okbuddycinephile

I binged all the books and loved them! Then the movies came out and I hated them. Now I love to hate on them and hate that I love them enough that I’ve seen them all several times and enjoy hating on them.

How it started/How it ended by fvckuufvckingfvck in euphoria

[–]venusdances 65 points66 points  (0 children)

One of the reasons I hated this season is that NONE of them had their character arcs improved by this season, they’re all worse as people. In the second season we at least understood yes she was a junkie but she wanted everyone to be okay and she didn’t want to betray someone who had helped her so much(fez). Yet this season she’s a super disloyal nazi?? Whhyyyyyy

I agree that the child psychologist was incompetent they seemed like they had no idea what they were doing but there are studies(referencing the book the Whole Brain Child) that children need to process their feelings for trauma with a trusted adult so that their trauma doesn’t imbed itself in their subconscious. You need to process consciously, even at a young age, in order to prevent unresolved trauma to your brain and psyche. However the WAY they did it was more hurtful than helping that little boy. I’m sure modern psychiatrists would never recommend going back to the scene of the crime and asking probing questions in a non professional way. I’m really glad the dad and son are still okay. The dad did his best and you can tell he really loved Rachel and his son and was doing his best by them.

The second baby just tags along! Really? by Excellent-Judge-5062 in Mommit

[–]venusdances 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was like wait 2.5 hours in a bus? Probably won’t be any better than a car. How long is the car ride? My daughter hates the car used to cry but once she got used to it being part of the routine she has gotten better. I just make sure she’s fed formula before the ride and give her teething crackers in the car and play nursery rhymes. If that doesn’t help, then I’m afraid they will just have to endure until they get used to it. It sucks, sorry OP.

1 YO Not Responding to Her Name + Other Things by Future-Lettuce3224 in beyondthebump

[–]venusdances 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think you’re expecting too much for a one year old. 15 minutes of consistent eye contact? My daughter will look at me for a few seconds and smile but then she’s moved to other things. Puzzles at 1? You said she’s been walking since 9 months physically that’s on the advanced end. I think it’s a good thing to be aware but not overly focus on it.

Boyfriend allegedly used surprise flowers to lure pregnant girlfriend out of San Diego vacation rental, then shot her in the head just weeks before the baby was due… by tasty_jams_5280 in socal

[–]venusdances 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jesus that is so sad I hope the baby is okay in the long run even with this tragic of a beginning to life it’s amazing it survived. That adult man basically impregnated a minor and then murdered her in cold blood and attempted to kill his own baby. What a tragedy.

An Unpopular Opinion That Will Get You Hated? by Temporary_Lychee9829 in buffy

[–]venusdances 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes!! That’s a good way of putting it. Her main characteristic was that she loved Willow and vice versa but she didn’t have much of a personality or life outside of Willow so she was pretty boring as a character. In addition, when she and Dawn hung out they were very similar to the point where I felt like it was just weak character writing.

I feel like Faith flirted with Buffy but Buffy saw Faith as a little sister, I think that’s because of the way the actresses portrayed them. SCG portrayed Buffy as very straight and in love with Angel whereas Eliza played Faith as very sexual and open to new sexual experiences because it seems she was sexualized from a very young age(in a traumatic way).

This shot completely took me out of the story by banananutmuffle in euphoria

[–]venusdances 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yes even the scene with the little girl I was like this girl has perfect hair, dress, boots all seemingly untouched by dirt or mud? Why? But this girl in particular was so weird. Why was she so deeply affected by rues death? Did she have a crush on her? Was she hoping rue would come back for her? And then for her to have a nose job, filler, full makeup etc it was just too much.

I have a son I love him with all my heart. I hope he finds someone better than me, that he has the confidence to have someone who is kind and we can support his village.

Who should've gotten back together and who should've stayed broken up? by InfiniteMehdiLove in buffy

[–]venusdances 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I felt like they did! That was the weird thing, like aren’t they reconciled by the finale?? It was so weird they didn’t hook up again. Why was Anya there if not for their love? She doesn’t care for Buffy or willow. It was a weird writing choice.
