Haha I like how you tag “I watch so much trash” in your response. I mean hey one person’s trash is another’s treasure right? No judgement, and I also enjoyed Happiest Season. To be fair, I didn’t go in with high expectations and went in for a light fun time. Sometimes we don’t need to watch cinematic masterpieces or thought-provoking media, and we’re mentally drained from stress/pandemic. So we crave something light and comforting like “trash” media, sitcoms, or light holiday movies, animated films, etc. My therapist does recommend distractions to occasionally help with anxiety or stress sooo ?‍♀️…

Well, I didn’t think HS was trash, heh, or at least not as trashy as other media. But yes, exactly, if something entertains us, what’s the problem? I tend to seek out lighter media myself even in times of not-pandemic, but for sure, nowadays…let’s just get through the day. 

Don’t you think that the plot of happiest season is very similar to merry happy whatever from last year, only gay? I mean, I’m sure it’s very similar to many Christmas movies but I spent a while thinking why it felt so familiar and I remembered this show. Every sibling with their secret and the guy wanting to propose on Christmas morning and all that. And his gf also messed up to the point he left.

Oh, that’s true, it is! And you know, that’s a great point?? I didn’t even think of that, but yes, this is a whole GENRE of holiday media where people act horribly under stress and then make up at the end, and it’s always unrealistic and unearned but you’re okay with it because you know away from this stretch of holidays, they’re fine, and will be fine after. But yeah, heh, it’s funny how similar it is, just…without any gay drama for the mains.

“I’m honestly a little sad and hurt at the attitude about closeted people I’ve seen from shockingly so many people, people who I know try to approach other things with kindness.” i feel the same way! i don’t expect everyone to like the movie because everyone has different tastes. but that’s not really what we’re seeing here: the level of hate harper is getting is completely over the top, something usually reserved for villains (and not the likable kind). very disappointed in fandom’s attitude

For real! Like, sure, she was a dick at times, you may not love her or even like her, but the complete dismissal of context altogether, no, that’s not fair at all.

So I started watching Filthy Rich and I got up to episode 9 and I know there’s one more episode left but I’m confused? What was the point of putting Becky and Ginger together if they were just gonna break up in the next ep? Like if it was hust for the divorce then why have that convo about how they wanted to give their relationship a shot? Like th divorce is the only way the show has been affected so far so I’m just very confused.

And another anon:

I’m all confused as why they were gonna have them together Becky and Ginger to break them up so quick?

I know! It’s just so weird narratively?? They didn’t need to do that if they didn’t want to, it barely had any impact on the rest of the show. Now I’m not even sure why Becky is a character that exists at all, for all the effect on the show she’s had? Unless she’s going to take up Paul’s mantle, but even so, what does this all have to do with Becky/Ginger and why have the convo they did in 1×08…I don’t know… Ugh, it’s so much harder to deal with badly written drama than effectively written but devastating angst.

yo some anons really gotta chill….She can choose what she wants to watch alright. Nothing wrong with deciding to watch only what interests you. There was no need having to keep explaining and explaining when her decision has been made. Doesn’t seem like she changes her mind that easily once her mind is made up lol Thanks for ALL the awesome gifs you’ve made!!

And another anon:

as someone who loved bly manor, I feel the need to reiterate that your reasons for not wanting to watch it are totally valid and idk what that anon’s problem is but jesus christ

Ah, thanks, guys! It’s fine, though, it was clearly a very nonsensical ask, the quality or lack thereof had nothing to do with why I watched or didn’t, and I’m not gonna think BM is horrible by association. I can be stubborn, huh, first anon. 😛
