The age gap wouldn't bother me if she was of age. He's an adult. How big the gap is doesn't actually matter to me. He's an adult in a relationship with a teenager. That's not okay and shouldn't be romanticized. It doesn't bother me that she's into him. What gets me is the other people in her life being okay with it. Giles and especially her mother should have been a lot more freaked out about him being an adult, not just that he's a vampire.

Re: Secrets You're Too Lazy to Make

[(Anonymous)]

I want to know what a wrecked and incandescent character is like. A broken lightbulb?

[(Anonymous)]

The secret is The Force Awakens (first appearance of Rey & co) vs The Last Jedi (newest film). It took me a moment to figure it out too.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, they could. But I can't stop that. I can (as a responsible parent) allow them to choose what they want to watch on services I choose. So, I give them some freedom but don't let them go crazy. These are not teenagers I am talking about.

[(Anonymous)]

Well, I mean, if I'm going to pick which concern to have FIRST and probably loudest, 'vampire' does override a little bit.

Re: What movie/game/tv trends are you sick of?

[(Anonymous)]

I'll always hate online multiplayer games, and I desperately wish game companies would stop prioritizing them over story-driven single-player games. Microtransactions are always going to be awful, too, so let's stop making that a trend while we're at it?

I also can't stand how prominent the MCU is right now. I guess it might work in comics, but I'll always think it's nothing but an all-around terrible idea to force every single film/tv show in your franchise to share the same universe. It ruins things for people who don't want to waste time watching dozens of films they're not interested in just to understand what's going on in the ones they might otherwise like, and makes those same otherwise decent movies that much worse if they're forced to incorporate annoying characters/plot points/histories that the other, badly-written films came up with. The ensemble films are such a mess, too -- adding too many characters to your cast just because you have the budget for it is a bad fucking idea, since it just means nobody (other than Iron Man, apparently) will ever get any genuine focus at all. It's all way too much.

Re: Just curious... do you think your parents were/are good parents?

[kallanda_lee]

I love/like them as people. But I don't think they were great parents, per se.

[(Anonymous)]

The only good things about TFA was the characters, and TLJ did every one of them better.

Except for Luke. I don't think that was better.

[tabaqui]

Thanks!
I am so disconnected from all the new Star Wars movies anymore..... I still love the first three *a lot*, never really enjoyed the next three, and of the newest ones, really only liked the 'Rogue One' one. The others all kinda just blur together in my mind.

It's too bad, really. But...people enjoy them, so yay, but...i just can't bring myself to care anymore.

[philstar22]

Well, yes. But once they knew he was good, everyone seemed all fine and dandy with the relationship. Her mother protested some. But only a little.

[(Anonymous)]

but you can set passwords on things so they can't access them.

[(Anonymous)]

NS! fucking same

[brandiweed.livejournal.com]

EVERY fandom of a given Doctor bitches about the one who succeeds their fave. I wouldn't be surprised if there are some geezers out there who back in the day *deeply resented* the "clownish" Patrick Troughton taking over from William Hartnell...

[(Anonymous)]

I feel that if the plot only works if characters behave like idiots or in out of character ways, the plot doesn't actually work. Other people may feel differently.

[(Anonymous)]

Not OP, but I'd definitely never classify Ed & Oswald as "entirely loyal to each other".

Re: Just curious... do you think your parents were/are good parents?

[dani_phantasma]

Yeah I do.

I had issues with them for the years after I graduated and we didn't get each other. I also had untreated Bipolar that made things really difficult as well as I finally worked out with my doctor that I was having flashbacks to my time in school and I didn't realize that was what it was so it was also untreated. Long story short I had a lot going on with me that made it really difficult to see straight, so to speak. And I could be pretty difficult.

They're not perfect obv, and I still have qualms with my father for how he can be about some things. But growing up they were very loving. They tried to address the needs of each of me and my siblings and do their best. And even now they are helpful and there for us. They give me space now since we visited last, and respect my needs and interests. My mom understands more.

*ahem* yeah that was helpful to write so I'm glad to find this topic.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm pretty much the same as you. Love-love-love the OT to bits (particularly SW and ESB). I also loved Rogue One. But the rest have just clocked in at the just "like enough to watch in theaters", and never quite hit the active fandom-level love for me.

[(Anonymous)]

i've clearly been working in electronics retail too long when my first thought is "hey, i have that remote control for my tv too"

(it's from a samsung)

[(Anonymous)]

Disney is becoming the new Google, I'm genuinely scared. They are getting bigger and bigger and buying more and more companies. This won't end well.

[(Anonymous)]

Ah, I always figure the "for me" is silent-but-implied when people make claims like that, unless they're like, actively insulting the fans while they're saying it.

[(Anonymous)]

that celebrity crush aspect has always been my problem with the ship

like she's not in love with harry potter, the person; she's in love with the boy who lived, the legend, the story, the myth

[(Anonymous)]

Maybe they felt that, after accepting that it might be okay for her to date a bloodstained demon of the night who once carved a path through Europe, because he's apparently good now, worrying about his age might be a relatively minor quibble?

I mean, what do you say? 'Yes, honey, you can date a repentant ex-serial killer, but only one who's closer to your age'?

Honestly, there's just no aspect of that relationship that was a good idea. It's just that, compared to some of the other aspects, the age gap, as bad as it was, really wasn't the worst of it. On a scale of terrible choices ... well, honestly I'd have written him off at 'stalker', but 'ex-serial killer' probably still ranks a bit higher than 'older man'.

Re: Just curious... do you think your parents were/are good parents?

[soldatsasha]

Sort of, and..... sort of? My parents were/are very complicated people, very much shaped by their experiences with the communist party. I don't think it would be possible to be friends with them, even if someone wanted to.

As for whether they were good parents... For most of my childhood I was very independent from their influence. I think they prepared me for what I'd face in life, but I'm not sure if a parent deserves credit for being absent to the point their kid develops self-sufficiency?

[(Anonymous)]

Have you ever met a kid? Hell, have you ever been a kid? You are honestly telling me you didn't figure out how to crack your parent's locks in like a month?

[(Anonymous)]

Loki’s TDW wig was fine. His Ragnarok/Infinity War wig was not.
