She had AN AMAZING JOB OFFER in Paris and ended the show with no job, some loser guy and yeah…no job. After she busted her ass to prove that she was more than just a spoiled heiress.
I’m not still bitter or anything.
When I first watched the finale at 17 I was swept up in “I got off the plane” and how wonderful and romantic that was.
Now I’m 32 and I’m like how the FUCK would you ever give up your dream job in PARIS for Ross Gellar!?!?! It’s not like she’d never see him again. They shared a kid for God’s sake. Go to Paris.
Also they have museums in Paris?! And universities and pretty much as many ways Ross could have worked there as he did in New York. Like honestly he should have gotten ON a plane. He’s also an academic like he could have taken a sabbatical or gone off to write a book or something given he’s loaded. Given he was the source of like 90% of their problems to begin with the guy owed it to her to be the one making the sacrifices for once.
it’s a song about a dude being fucking stoked to marry his fiance and poking fun at the ‘marriage is the end right fellas’ culture by saying ‘guess ill die then! worth it!’ and i think that’s neat
Not to mention the fact that Mrs. White isn’t qualified to teach.
She should be required to take a remedial English course.
“I have went”? please. It’s “I have gone”, Mrs. White.
first, my kid would not sign anything without me seeing it first. 2nd, upon seeing it i would be at the superintendant’s office the next morning.
then we would speak to the teacher.
black folk gotta nip it in the bud.
Dont let your children be controlled like this. I remember back when I was in school my mom always told me “if you really need to use the bathroom or attend to an emergency and the teacher won’t let you, then just leave the classroom and I’ll deal with teacher and principle”
Mom had my back
If I was this kid I would use up those passes and then just fuckin’ throw up or get a severe nosebleed in the classroom and then refuse to leave because “sorry, I can’t go to the nurse, I already used up my two passes for the fucking MONTH”
There was a student at my high school, who we will call John Doe, who actually did that. When teachers gave him a limited number of bathroom allowances (usually 3 per semester, which was the standard at my school), he would use them in the first week, and then induce vomitting my eating rotten food he found around the school garbage cans. If teachers refused to let him go, he would just throw up on something they had to touch. Light switches, keyboards, whatever was available.
Instead of making admin do anything about this toxic policy, they just doubled down harder, to the extent that one girl politely informed a teacher that she felt like she might be about to have a seizure and could she go to the nurse, please. She was denied, sat back down at her desk, and promptly passed out and concussed herself on the concrete floor when she fell.
Another girl had severe vertigo-induced fainting, could not get a teacher to excuse her from a phys ed class, and fell off a monkey bars and split her head open, and nearly lost an eye because her glasses broke when she landed.
A student with, I believe, diabetes had a severe blood sugar drop and tried to eat a candy bar in a class with a “no food or drinks” rule. The candy bar was taken away, and she had to be taken out by EMTs.
This kind of human rights abuse in public schools is not new. I graduated a full decade ago.
I’m glad it’s being publically discussed again, (briefly around 2003-2005 this was also a popular subject of discussion). I hope that this time, concrete changes in policy are actually affected.
I will never be over the fact that during campaign one of Critical Role like… almost every character at some point or another was trying to fuck Percy. Vox Machina had a lot of explicitly hot characters, but somehow most PCs and NPCs (at least the ones who were into men) wanted to get at the white haired angst boy at least once, and I think that’s beautiful.
And Percy (not to mention Taliesin, who, for example, had NO idea about Pike as I recall) was oblivious to most of it.
Also priceless.
I mean, if you don’t think Ripley & Raishan wanted to bone that boy, you haven’t been paying attention
Belated footnote, but since I got notes on this post again:
I don’t often advise anyone to read the Twitch chat during these games, but the chat thread during that one conversation between Percy and Raishan (you know the one I mean) was hilarious, given that most of it was variations on “Is he going to fuck the dragon?”, “this is weirdly hot,” or “I ship it.”
I’m 50/50 on if Raishan wanted to eat him or *eat him* if you know what I mean. Someone did a really great meta post on the theory that Raishan wanted to collect Percy as her treasure, as green dragons like to do that with smart creatures.
I’ve explored my thoughts on Ripley and Percy in a few fanfics and I really should write more about them.
Don’t forget that time he almost had a quickie with a devil in hell.
