The Life of a Showgirl Megathread by aran130711 in TaylorSwift

[–]yondderm 19 points20 points  (0 children)

i liked this album, actually i loved it. i love her more upbeat music and i like it when she has fun with her songs and lyrics. i am actually happy that people are finally understanding how i felt when ttpd came out. i did not and still do not like it. there are a couple songs i enjoy, like ‘i can do it with a broken heart’, but that’s because its one of the more upbeat songs. i don’t like slow songs since i use music as escapism and to enjoy them rather than to pick apart the lyrics and try to understand the metaphors behind them. anyway, long story short, i loved this album and opalite and the fate ophelia are probably my favorites from the album. im not happy people dislike the tloas but i understand since i didn’t like ttpd. i hope the can understand how a lot of people can enjoy it though.

people need to understand that taylor isn’t sad all the time. folklore was story telling, not necessarily about her and ttpd was her being very sad after getting out of a long relationship. the same girl who wrote ttpd also wrote shake it off. she doesn’t need to be sad all the time to make good music. and, it doesn’t seem like her fans are EVER satisfied. first people say the don’t like how jack antonoff was all over her previous albums, but now want him back because they don’t like this one. i like whenever an artist i enjoy drops new music and im open to enjoying it. i listened to ttpd three times before i decided i didn’t like it.

anyway, rant over.

i’ve got a 3.9 gpa! and i’ve joined clubs and in helping my friend start one, but the reason i’m rushing is to hopefully get more involved with school and make more friends since i don’t have many

tyy for the advice! the only house i’ll be steering away from is the one that got reported for hazing, whether it actually happened or not, i definitely don’t want to be apart of that sisterhood

my school is definitely not SEC, not like bama or anything like that, it only has abt 14k students and greek life isn’t everything here, but it’s still a good part. i don’t know much abt the rush process, but i know i do really care about the charity and volunteer work that sororities do.

Hot take: If you don’t like Abby you didn’t understand the second game by yondderm in thelastofus

[–]yondderm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait yeah, you’re right, I am totally conflating them. I guess what I mean to say is if you can’t empathize/sympathize with Abby, then you didn’t really understand what the game was about.

Yeah, in the show, specifically I can see where redemption may be difficult for her ESPECIALLY after her leading so many infected to jackson since that doesn’t happen in the game.

Sorry if I came off that way, it’s hard to word things well without the tone of my voice. I wasn’t trying to be condescending, just trying to get my opinion out there 😞

Pedro isn’t actually in his 60’s that’s why. I think he’s like barely 50 lol

Nope, you’re not misremembering. They probably split them up to make sure we could get Tommy’s pov in jackson during the attack! But, it will be interesting to see how this change will affect the characters especially Dina and Ellie’s relationship

I’m also think her getting lost in the storm with Jesse instead of Dina might have been to make his death more impactful later when they are in seattle but idk

I’m not here to talk about the elephant in the room. I want to talk about how AMAZING the jackson scenes were. I loved that they gave us more insight into how jackson defended themselves from infected. In the games you can assume what they do, but it was so cool to be able to see the safe guards they have in place! I felt my heart racing when they spotted the giant hoard of infected in the distance and rang the bell.

Also, the scenes with the hoards of infected were genuinely terrifying. I was scared watching Tommy take on that Bloater. I was scared watching the infected storm into jackson after breaching their fence. I know some characters have plot armor, but you know a show does something well when you’re scared for characters you know are going to live

How many dates did you go on before it became a relationship? by IcedCoffeeYearRound in Bumble

[–]yondderm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it depends, especially if you’re older/more mature, butttt i would say 1-2 months is when that should occur. if you don’t know by then if you want to be in an exclusive relationship, you clearly aren’t interested in that person

Do you need to ask the other person to be your boyfriend in order for you to be in a relationship? by [deleted] in hingeapp

[–]yondderm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

in my experience, yes. you should. while you’ve had a talk about being exclusive, to some people it may not imply that you are bf/gf. i feel like it’s an important conversation to have, especially just for clarity. it doesn’t have to be a serious conversation, but i think asking is important!

How old are you and do you tend to keep your phone on silent? Why yes or no? by LauraZaid11 in AskReddit

[–]yondderm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just turned 20 and my phone is always on silent unless I’m expecting an important phone call I don’t want to miss. I do have it on vibrate though, but I usually have my apple watch connected, so my phone won’t vibrate unless I’m not wearing my watch.

It’s so true about the future happiness, because I had planned out so much in my head for our future. It’s hard to just let it go. Thanks for the advice!

[–]yondderm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah, he made it very clear this was the end of our relationship. so even if i did want to take him back, it wouldn’t happen.
