What are some examples in media of healthy, nontoxic, romantic relationships?
  • Castlevania, despite some of the creators being creeps, has a good one with Sypha and Belmont. It's established off-screen and you simply see them interact as a couple that works closely together.

    You don't see the courtship at all and there's little eroticism. I don't know if lacking that excludes it from being considered romantic.

    But I like the relationship where they clearly care about each other and I'm certain the romance would be believable if they showed it in-scene. It is odd however how Belmont has a foul mouth but won't say something explicit to Sypha when they're alone.

    The other romantic relationships in the series are also established off-screen for the most part. You see couples talking to each other in bed and stuff, but there aren't too many declarations of love or discussion on their relationship, but I think the lack of dialogue around that could be excused by it being 1474.

  • Advice? Thinking about taking a personal loan.

    I'm fortunate enough to have good credit and I qualify for a decent apr for a personal loan.

    It would help give me breathing room for some time and help me make a career change. Are there any obvious traps to look out for?

    Edit - Thanks for the advice, everyone! I'm not planning on taking out a loan anytime soon. I'm just under stress and hate my job. I just wanted to know if getting a loan would be a viable option to buy some time/recharge for a little bit without immediate bills on my ass.

    Anybody else remember the 90s TV gag about souffles?

    The set up is that somebody is making one of these things and they were so delicate that any noise above a whisper could deflate them, ruining them. Then the punchline is when someone or something makes a loud noise and the souffle collapses as predicted.

    It feels like such a relic these days. They don't do the gag anymore and I wonder what that said about pop culture at the time.

    Has that joke come up again in recent years or am I that detached from TV?

    What are some other jokes that seemingly vanished?

    did you know?
  • Just like Finn!

    I hate that the possibility of a complicated story/moral question died on the vine in the first ten minutes of TFA when a smiling Finn gunned down his former child soldier friends.
