I don’t get why people especially buyers tend to be so god damn rude to sellers that are trying their best to do something that is out of their (seller’s) control, as if it’s our fault…. Like grow up ok bye

And I don’t see why I need to waste my time dealing with people who ain’t gonna listen or refuse to follow what we inform them to do smh

actually, devi may be kind of awful, but her dad - the person she was closest to in the whole world - did just die less than a yr ago, so i think everyone should cut her some slack. also, istfg if she ends up w paxton i will be blowing up the netflix headquarters. he's an airheaded, dumb, goofy looking jerk and just not right for devi. ben - tho slightly more goofy looking than paxton, and kinda resembling a bug - is the ONLY right choice, so he needs to break up w aneesa and make out w devi right. this. second!

Welcome to a gay analysing the gays.

Warning: this contains spoilers for K-drama Nevertheless and Netflix show Everything Sucks. Both are old shows however I still wanted to put the warning here.

I really just wanted to praise how well Nevertheless was able to represent a lesbian couple, specifically in a country where that representation isn’t as common. They were able to portray the relationship in a way that wasn’t fetishising, nor exaggerated for drama, yet was still engaging. Without it needing to be said, you can tell Sol is closeted and is having a hard time finding her boundaries with Jiwan, whereas Jiwan hasn’t considered the possibility of being in love with Sol, yet is in fact in love with her. You walk through their relationship slowly, issues of communication and boundaries, mixed messages, before finally Sol confesses. And Jiwan acts as anyone would in that situation. She doesn’t know yet, why would she, so she thinks about it. She then realised her issue is not that Sol is a girl, but she’s scared of losing her if something goes wrong. It’s just treated like a normal relationship. Even more so when all the other characters find out about them and there’s no shock, there’s no “I knew she was gay”. They just are. They’re just a couple. Heck the acceptance of them is even more chill than the acceptance of all the straight couples LMAO.

One reason I’m writing this is I was thinking of another lesbian show I watched, everything sucks. This show does focus on a lesbian character named Kate as she tries to find herself. While it is set in America, it’s set before gay rights were truly established. Maybe it’s because the show was cut too short, but the relationship between Kate and Emaline seems rushed and forced. There isn’t any natural progression it goes from 1 to 10 very quickly, especially considering Emaline was a homophobic bully towards Kate. Another problem I have with the show is that there is a male character who has a crush on Emaline, who is shown to be heartbroken when he walks in on Kate and Emaline together. It really bothers me how a scene that was suppose to be emotional and sweet for the wlw couple instead made you feel sympathy towards the guy who can’t get the girl. I thought Nevertheless was going to go down this root, as a guy did have a crush on Sol. He does confess and she does reject, but the exchange is very mature, and he simply respects and understands that Sol doesn’t reciprocate. Yes it’s still slightly annoying that we had to end up with a heartbroken man at all, but at least it’s handled normally, and if anything you’re more worried about Sol because she’s 1. Just come out to her best friend and 2. Is waiting for said best friend’s response to whether she loves her back.

So yes, Nevertheless had no Soljiwan kiss. And yes it was centered on a straight couple. But the thing is, considering the fact being gay in the media in Korea is still not embraced at all, the fact they got to exist at all is already great to me. And the fact they not only existed but existed in both a respectful and interesting way is just… the creator and the actresses did an amazing job. They really deserve all the love they got for those parts, and I hope more dramas both Korean and elsewhere can follow in their example

Geez I talk a lot

we're doing this english project where we have to write an essay abt a comedian (chosen from a list provided by our teacher) + include one of their clean(er) clips. ellen is on there, despite being a horrible person (and 2 straight girls fought over who was gonna choose her ???) and so is amy schumer, depsite being a well known racist, maker of r-word jokes, and all around pain in the ass. but most disturbingly, included on our list of options (somebody picked this person, btw) is bill cosby. wtf 😐

ok now that I need to get this outta my head cuz it’s been stuck in there for a while now but when I told the customer on eBay that she would need to pay 7.10 or 11 more dollars to cover up the full shipping cost ( it was kinda my fault for not changing the shipping price earlier but u know it happens it happens so) bc the height of the item when I packaged it already exceeded the max measurement for that original shipping price that I putted - and yet she tells me that she understood what I said but she “paid” and doesn’t see the point of paying further for the shipping in the “pretext” that I mistaken the shipping - like yes ***** u fucking paid but that doesn’t mean u can just leave it there and dismiss the changes in prices that I mentioned to u about. Like gosh seeing a statement from someone that says “I understand but…” just the “but” part…like urrrgghhhh
Then I told her that I’m aware of that and if she’s not gonna pay the exact amount that I told her to then I can cancel the order. Then this mf said that she can only pay 5 more dollars and no more than that. So good thing I decided to cancel the order cuz 1. No ma’am I need 7.10 or 11 more dollars from you - u can’t give me cheaper than that that’s not fair at all. & 2. you were being very goddamn rude and an asshole at the start so why tf should I wanna continue the sale with u huh??
btw I did block her so she won’t be able to contact me ever again lmao…like girl byeeee

My daughter is apparently a Blackpink fan, she openly admitted it, which is so funny to me cause it’s the only solid Kpop group she listens too…she was singing How You Like That the other night & y’all know when Lisa says “bring out the boss biitch” lmao my daughter goes “bring out the pop it.” And it’s so cute, like, gosh, you’re so silly. Of course I have to restrain myself from saying the actual lyrics, so I sing it in my head. She’s even doing some dance moves from different MVs lol like okay girl, get it 😂

Kpop is ruining my life I can’t believe I looked at Greek and went “that’s the same writing as the Save Me, Save You WJSN books”
