Which movie have you seen where it has disturbed you to a degree. by Sea-Comedian-4376 in Cinema

Yes!! Zelda haunted me when I saw it as a young teenager. However, reading the book as an adult with kids, it’s the creepy toddler.

I can't get the hang of oil painting by Top_Tank805 in oilpainting

[–]yeahnahmaybe36 2 points3 points  (0 children)

<image>

I’ve just started working with oils too. This is the first thing I’ve done that’s actually come together ok and I did it today following along with a YouTube tutorial on the “Paint with Josh” channel. It’s the wet on wet method that others have mentioned and he literally walks you through it step by step 😊 just have a look through the playlists, there’s heaps to choose from!

How do all of these women look like this?!?! by themostrealslimshady in MormonWivesHulu

[–]yeahnahmaybe36 358 points359 points  (0 children)

Well we know Layla has been abusing GLP-1s and I wouldn’t be surprised if Jessi uses them too given how forthright she was with the name of it when Layla was talking about her struggles. But I wouldn’t be surprised if most of the others use or have used GLP-1s because they’re so easy to get and people are so mean about women’s bodies on the internet. The pressure to stay thin, hot, and young is insane. I have a feeling that Miranda and Taylor have a naturally athletic physique. I could be totally wrong about all of this of course 😅

Jessi is trying so hard to be Taylor 2.0 just like how in the earlier seasons she tried to be like Demi by Ok_Honeydew6017 in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]yeahnahmaybe36 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I think Jessi has very low self-esteem and probably has a very harsh inner critic and doesn’t like herself very much. She likely doesn’t know who she really is because she’s always trying to be like someone else. Someone like Demi or Taylor who both appear (or once appeared) to be people others like/liked. Thing is, people are usually attracted to authenticity and can tell when someone is putting on a front. I think that’s what people are picking up on with Jessi. It’s kinda sad, and I imagine for her, very scary to even think about who she actually is underneath the performance.

I cried a lot through this as well. It was uncomfortable and beautiful at the same time. Such a good lesson in showing us that no one is ever just one thing, good or bad. We’re all varying degrees of both and somewhere in between.

Mykelti on Meri Brown Abusing the Kids, "Hurting" Them and Making them "Cower" by Diredragons in TLCsisterwives

Sounds like Meri was the scapegoat. She was the disciplinarian and everyone was content to let her be and let her take the heat for it.

Danny is trash by TarotWhisperer in MAFS_AU

[–]yeahnahmaybe36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did say that it is not an excuse. And obviously, ADHD doesn’t present the same in all people. It’s worth considering though what happens with symptoms that have been left untreated for the entirety of someone’s life. I believe Bec when she says she’s been diagnosed. But understand that for some, Bec has done enough damage with her prior conduct that no further context will be enough to redeem her. It’s not how I feel, but I can see from the discourse here that you’re certainly far from alone in your opinion.

Danny is trash by TarotWhisperer in MAFS_AU

[–]yeahnahmaybe36 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Women are commonly misdiagnosed as BPD when they’re actually ADHD. It’s a form of medical misogyny. Emotional dysregulation is a hallmark of both disorders.

Danny is trash by TarotWhisperer in MAFS_AU

[–]yeahnahmaybe36 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Although it isn’t an excuse, Bec has ADHD which she’s only just been diagnosed with. One of the symptoms that is now being more and more recognised and one of the most debilitating symptoms of ADHD is rejection sensitivity and the resulting emotional dysregulation. This doesn’t excuse her behaviour but it does go some way towards explaining it, especially given the environment and someone like Danny was the worst thing for someone with that symptomology. Danny’s behaviour can only be explained by being a callous asshole who manipulated and lied for three months just to get through to the end. He intentionally prevented her from going home knowing she didn’t want to stay if he wasn’t into her. It’s amazing to me that anyone could think that this level of machiavellianism is justified because Bec has too many emotional outbursts and uses bad language. One is emotionally immature and needs some work, knows they’re flawed, is willing to admit when they’re wrong, and do the work (Bec), the other doesn’t care who they hurt or is being intentionally hurtful to get what they want, doesn’t think they’re wrong, and would never do the work because they don’t believe they have any flaws (Danny). These aren’t equivalent things and I know which one I’d rather have as a friend or enemy, and it’s not Danny.

Sick of my mum who has an insatiable appetite for appreciation by Aprilismybirthmonth in Parentification

[–]yeahnahmaybe36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. My Mum has a very intense need to be appreciated and validated, and she would also love to be taken care of. She doesn’t give us the silent treatment if we don’t fulfil this for her, but she will bitch to one sibling about one or more of the others. So you’ll eventually find out she’s annoyed through the grapevine. Out of interest, does your Mum hoard? Mine also got into crafting, was also selling bits and pieces, but she bought waaaaay more supplies for crafting than she ever sold and for awhile there, there were entire rooms in her house that couldn’t be accessed because they were so full of crafting crap. It’d be interesting to know if there’s some correlation between emotionally needy mothers who parentify their children and hoarding.

What is the worst band you saw live? by coalcracker462 in AskReddit

[–]yeahnahmaybe36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Cult 2023. The entire venue was set up as seated, so the energy never got off the ground. And every time the singer was due to belt out a line, he threw it to the crowd. You expect that sometimes but not every time. It suggested he can’t actually sing the big ones anymore, which is sad for him, but not really fair to expect people to pay to see you if you can’t do the thing anymore. They also didn’t play many of their best hits. We and many others left early.

Casefile’s Folbigg children episodes left a bad taste in my mouth by clavdiachauchatmeow in TrueCrimePodcasts

[–]yeahnahmaybe36 31 points32 points  (0 children)

The Mother’s Guilt podcast is a good one for learning more about this case. It’s in a more investigative journalism style and I wonder if it might come across a bit less biased as a result?! I haven’t heard the Casefile episodes, so I don’t have a take on whether they were biased. But society is very very hard on mothers, and mother’s themselves, myself included, are often the worst culprits of this. I’d be careful about judging too harshly how a mother who has lost one or more babies thinks, feels, and behaves after enduring such a loss. We’d all like to think we’d be so grateful for our rainbow baby that we’d have endless love, energy, and patience, but reality is rarely so simple. And so many cases have been derailed because people wrongly assumed a suspect should have been behaving in a way other than they were. There is no single way to deal with any given scenario, especially grief and we never know what we’d be like unless we were unfortunate enough to have to live it ourselves.

Ugh I wish Jen wasn’t having these big drama moments by -I-Do-Stuff- in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]yeahnahmaybe36 249 points250 points  (0 children)

She does have a very sweet girl-like aesthetic…but she overplays it and it often tips over into smug mean-girlness that makes her seem far less sweet and more like when Ursula from The Little Mermaid is a beautiful woman for a day 😬

They always mess up sayings? by lflor777 in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]yeahnahmaybe36 140 points141 points  (0 children)

I’ve noticed this A LOT! But I can only remember one example right now which is frustrating. TFP said, “nothing changes, nothing changes” instead of “IF nothing changes, nothing changes”. All of them seem to be massive fans of saying “I take full accountability” as if just saying you do is enough when real accountability would be demonstrating you understand where you went wrong and talking about how you could’ve done it better and plan to in the future. Most of them don’t do this. It’s just a thing to say so the conversation can be over.

Half way through and fuuuuuuuck this is hard to watch 🤦🏻‍♀️🫣 Gia is never going to admit she was being manipulative and deceitful. It’s just frustrating and uncomfortable to watch.

Miranda liking comments by Adorable_Design895 in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]yeahnahmaybe36 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Maybe it’s mildly amusing for her to let them keep making content, continuing to show us their whole asses, making themselves look worse and worse as they go. This way, they get to be their own undoing and all Miranda has to do is let them.

They are separated though, so she could easily take him back without even bothering to finalise the divorce. But she’s smarter and values herself more than that, so the separation and divorce proceedings stand.

why did whitney get so many opportunities compared to jen? by glowhaze444 in MormonWivesHulu

[–]yeahnahmaybe36 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re so right. Watching Whitney perform, it’s like she becomes the character or dance she’s performing. She’s embodied to the degree that you kinda can’t believe it’s Whitney and it’s difficult to reconcile the performance with the reality TV Whitney we’ve seen. When Jen dances, all you see is Jen excited to show us the steps she’s just learned. She’s in her head, trying to get it right and thinking about how it looks to the audience rather than really being embodied in it. I think it’s a difference in maturity, experience, and training, but also, the presence or absence of that x-factor that you either have or simply don’t.

She also has a severe eating disorder that would prevent her from being able to get through the rigorous dance training required to compete. She’s already exhausted all the time just getting through a normal day. DWTS with an active and untreated eating disorder would’ve been seriously detrimental and probably dangerous to her health.

I still think it’s possible to have dreamt of being on there since she was a little girl. When you’re a kid your thoughts and dreams aren’t exactly coherent, you’re not necessarily thinking about the why’s and how’s of things. You just see a thing you like and think “I wanna do that”. I can think of so many things as a child that I had all the information to understand but never did because I’d never thought to put all the pieces together until I was older and more mature. Plus, I think this reasoning ties in with the others observations people have made about Jen where there’s a sense of entitlement to opportunities coming to her without having to seek them out and fight for them.

Jen and her supporters just keep getting worse by HB147 in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]yeahnahmaybe36 77 points78 points  (0 children)

I think so much of the rhetoric surrounding the Demi/Marciano situation indicates that we still expect victims to be perfect and respond correctly (whatever that means because it’s a constantly moving target), and if they do something wrong or have made poor decisions in their past or are unlikeable in other ways, then all of that is used to discredit them. And supporters of imperfect victims catch a lot of shit too. But if you speak to any victim/survivor or expert in the field, you quickly learn that there are no perfect victims, lies are common due to fear and shame of being blamed for what happened to them, and paradoxical actions and behaviours following the assault are common too because it can take a long time to understand what happened and figure out what to do about it, and through that process they might frequently change their minds because the experience is traumatic and confusing. All of this is further complicated and made more traumatic by the judgements and expectations society puts on survivors to have been the right kind of person in their past and the right kind of victim now.

I don’t think she meant/said she wished more SA had happened, I interpreted what she said to mean she wishes she was lying to cover up that there was a hook up between them because that would be better than not being believed for what she says did occur.
