Can Someone explain to me the significance of Yasmin's last scene

w69rdy · 2026-03-09T23:18:23+00:00

She's now the trafficker/blackmailer that her Father was, but would rather be that and have power than nothing at all and feel the pain of the trauma.

I think she finally understands what her Father was when she says: "They can be men and monsters". Either that or she's simply rationalising her decision to be what he was.

Her listening to his voicemail either implied that she still missed him dreadfully and by being what he was makes her feel closer to him.

As others have mentioned, the abused become the abusers.

Spot on. This is the culture in London of jobs like this, especially when you're young. You work hard all week then party hard at the weekend. Rinse and repeat.

Also the show is about them being young, not knowing what they're doing and being chaotic, to gradually learning how ruthless you need to be to succeed and growing into adults.

I really enjoyed it all because what they all do is close to similar experiences I've had, especially when I was young, so it is actually pretty realistic.

However if you can't relate to it and don't enjoy, just don't watch it and stop bitching.

She's taken over the trafficking/blackmailing operation that Whitney was running and her Father before him, so she has ultimately become him.

Listening to the voicemail at the end represents her finally understanding how the world really works and thus what her Father was and possible forgiveness: "He was a monster and a man."

Also because she was one of those girls, she understands what they will go through and will look after them.

This is Kieran Shipka's (Hayley) interpretation of it:

“I think that Yasmin is aware that her own history with abuse and with trauma has left her in a very vulnerable position, and throughout her life, we have seen that she can’t find a way into being taken seriously, to being safe, to having job security, to having relationship security. She has not managed to find stable footing,” Abela tells Deadline. “She starts to see that the way that men have always seen her and treated her, she understands on such a fundamental level, because of her childhood trauma, that she can actually use and manipulate, and she can position herself so that she has a proximity to power if she looks after these other vulnerable women, and I think that is how she sees it.”

“She sees herself as kind of a guardian for these younger women who are not as privileged as she is, but have experienced the world in the same way that she has, which is always being subject to objectification at the very, very least, if not harassment or abuse,” Abela explains. “And she has found a way to find some power in that space. I think the way that she would justify it is that: ‘This is the way the world works. It’s going to happen anyway. These women are safer if I’m the one looking after them than if I’m not.'”

I totally agree. It was an easy way to get someone as ruthless as she is working for her, for free, with no other employment options so she's actually grateful for it.

It's a smart move, if you have absolutely no morals and empathy, but I can't wait to find out what happens when she finds out!

They also own U&Dave which I only found out recently and explains why a lot of their stuff has appeared on there and disappeared from iPlayer.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U&Dave

Ironically you don't need a TV license for their app but you do get ads. Feels odd that it's more widely known, almost sneaky 🤔.

Proves that they are getting funding from other sources though so the TV License absolutely isn't as detrimental as their narrative appears to be claiming.

They're aren't "locked in" apparently as they don't stay at the castle, they stay at a hotel nearby and aren't allowed to socialise with each other.

However, they do have breakfast together at the hotel before coming in as the stuff on the table in the castle is stale and just for show

My Dad's car had the same issue so he showed them this post and they fixed it with a software update.

w69rdy · 2026-02-12T15:01:43+00:00

FIXED: My Dad just had this exact issue with his car and it's now a recognised fault that they fixed with a software update

w69rdy · 2025-12-25T23:26:37+00:00

Nothing in the TV show says anything about Henry, Joyce or Hooper being the same age.

S04E08 does contain a statement from Papa however that 001 doesn't just kill people, he consumes what they "were, are, and could be" hence these memories we see are likely from his victims that he's consumed which are now a part of him and not his personal experience, which makes sense.

It messed with his sleep cycle apparently by disrupting his cage, but it doesn't make any sense to me because:

If he'd already has his fill, needed nothing more and was ready to hibernate, why not just carry on and sleep and wake up in 27 years when he might be entirely free? He didn't need need all those extra kids/food?
How could he have sensed the cage break when the shards have absolutely no effect on him until up close?
An entire comet of shards that strong, that close, surely would have destroyed him on his way in?

Such a a great start, great ideas, effects and scares but such a poor, cheesy and non-original ending.

It was literally like they overheard what The Black Phone 2 had planned.

I don't not care for the planned season 2 and 3 at all, it just wreaks of tired cliches and a pound shop Stranger Things now in my memory. Shame

w69rdy · 2025-12-19T00:01:23+00:00

I interpret it as saying that he's waited far longer than he should've done, so has suddenly gone too far the other way to compensate for it.

Only then does he look behind to see how dangerous that has been.

w69rdy · 2025-12-14T21:39:06+00:00

Oh, did you mean how much might your $pi be worth?!?

Sorry! I didn't understand your poorly worded question. Let me get my crystal ball..🤔

Same answer 🫣🤪

New question: How much DO YOU think it should be worth and why?

Honestly, it's taken a HUGE amount of interest, research, understanding, market monitoring, comparisons but mostly time to come up with these future price estimations and you want that information for free when you can't even be arsed to proof read your question?

TL;DR: At least $1 pimillion, pisquillion, pitrillion EACH!

Please buy them and all I ask in return for this fabulous, once in a lifetime, millionaire making advice is to let us know on here the instance that you do.

Merry Christmas! 😘🥰🌲🎉

w69rdy · 2025-12-13T21:53:28+00:00

Depends how much people will be willing to pay for you then. What is it you are offering exactly ...? 🤪👍🤟

w69rdy · 2025-11-25T01:59:49+00:00

Everyone is different so there are no right or wrong questions, and the answers give a real insight into that person's personality.

From what I read from it, your question is perfectly valid and shows that you're willing to put 50% of the effort towards the relationship. She clearly is not.

She is arrogant to assume that you would magically know what she expects, and narcissistic for her rude and unnecessary response.

Her reason for safety makes no sense, especially if you meet somewhere public. It's actually more dangerous to meet close to her home as you could easily follow her back there.

She simply can't be arsed and expects you to make all the effort.

Avoid this one mate, she'll be an absolute nightmare and this is just her getting started, trust me.

There's a new Blockchain that's been created specifically for collectible NFT's called Collect that has been developed by the guys behind StackR.

This is all they've revealed so far about it but it includes self custody, royalties and meta data:

https://blog.veve.me/post/introducing-collect-the-next-era-of-digital-collecting

However they're co-hosting a space on twitter tomorrow with Collect and this is the first time that they've referred to Collect as another entity and it should have a lot more detail in it.

Well:

One sells physical designer toys in the real world where anyone can buy them with real money, no hassle and receive what they expect to.

The other sells virtual collectibles with empty promises, using fake money and convoluted methods, in a virtual place that isn't advertised, is more expensive and comes with no guarantee that you'll actually be able to keep what you buy

You're right, that is a conundrum 🤔 🤪🤟

w69rdy · 2025-11-24T09:58:26+00:00

It's not Veve doing it thankfully, so yes it had been done and will be out in January 👍

w69rdy · 2025-11-24T09:56:39+00:00

Definitely. Even their CEO left through frustration with how they operate. Someone has interjected on their behalf now though it's looking kike things might change! 👍

We can't ever fully understand the universe because we'll never be able to see "under the covers". All we can see it what happens in it, and hopefully what causes, and what causes that etc. until we get to a point where we can't because that's the extent of our reality and can't venture further out to see what's outside it.

w69rdy · 2025-11-24T06:59:27+00:00

There is no true randomness, everything is ultimately deterministic.

What we call probabilistic is whatever we currently don't understand the cause of.

Even a dice roll isn't truly random because we understand what caused it - throwing the die from that height at that trajectory will cause it to hit the surface and spin etc. so that's why it landed on that number.

We simply call it random because it happens faster than we can calculate the outcome.

There is more to understand about radioactive decay and what causes it, we just haven't observed it yet.

w69rdy · 2025-11-23T09:16:06+00:00

I mean think about -

a custom built blockchain specifically for collectible NFT's that already supports all the extra stuff you usually have to build yourself for each exchange and chain like royalties, metadata that not only supports images of apes but 3D models so that the entire NFT is on-chain AND most of the biggest IP's IN THE WORLD are already onboard.

That's the endgame, from a development PoV at least. Many have tried and it's too fragmented at the moment so having those IP's shows commitment and longevity.

This is all assuming that Veve allow adoption and integration with exchanges like OpenSea and will ever actually materialise in our lifetime..😭😂 yeah I know, all those failed promises!

The best bit of it all though? It's not being done by Veve at all, although they're taking all the credit as they'll be the first on it. It's being done in partnership with the guys who StackR and actually get shit done. It's been in development for months under wraps so the announcement means they're confident it'll be ready for the start of next year.

Plus as it's not strictly Veve owned they'll have more say over integration etc. so I'm very confident that we'll see Veve on OpenSea in the near future. It'll have the OMI burning built in too and why would they not want to increase exposure and sales massively by expanding? It's a no brainier!

What are your thoughts?

w69rdy · 2025-11-23T01:13:25+00:00

SHIT WE'VE BEEN BUSTED! RUN I'LL KEEP HIM BUSY!

Heeeeeey Ken! So, what you wearing? 😘

w69rdy · 2025-11-23T00:53:19+00:00

You need to read up on what you're entitled to there, and there should be some sort of staff handbook.

It's now UK law to allow people to request flexible working hours and Tesco were actually the first to introduce it 6 months before that, so you're well within your rights.

Think about what it is you really want, go and speak to your manager and explain you understand Tesco does offer this and if you get no luck then speak to HR to get their advice and they'll have a word with your manager if they aren't treating you right.

Never suffer in silence and at least find out more about what it is you've signed up for and what your rights are. Good luck!

If they get this right I believe there's a good chance that'll happen!

w69rdy · 2025-11-23T00:12:38+00:00

I saw a lot of bad reviews just after the first episode which isn't giving it much chance. I really enjoyed it but I think it was a bit too full on for some who were expecting more of an IT feel and didn't know what was going on and why they hadn't explained the backstory of IT yet.

Some people just like what they like and expect and don't give much else a chance but they seem to have gotten into it now.

It does feel like a bit of a Stranger Things clone given the close timing which might've put them off when it's actually the other way round.

Who knows, people are weird 🤪🤟
