I never understood the attraction. "oh my god she's so different!"
If she never painted her hair, her coy personality would be an actual red flag. But nope, coloured hair = quirky, so gotta put up with that whole mess.
On one hand that was part of the point of her character, that people were far more attracted to the idea of her than the reality. On the other hand, a beautiful actress portraying a very “cool millennial” aesthetic got to me too. She was the archetypal manic pixie dream girl in a story about how she won’t save you and you won’t save her, you both have to learn to save yourself.
And while we're on the subject of Ramonas, Ramona Quimby was a little shit with two loving parents who put up with way too much of her antics. If anyone should have been in therapy, it was Ramona. Think of the horrible, vain, manipulative adult she must have turned out to be.
At least they’re are trying. That’s more than can be said for a lot of people. Is it better to be with someone who’s got an understanding of their issues and wants to resolve them, or be with someone who doesn’t acknowledge their issues and/or who leans into maladaptive behaviors because of them?
I’ve dated people in both camps. I’ll take the psych major any day. By a long shot.
Boomer humor…
The ultimate childhood PTSD experience ™️
How terrifying was it in the end? I found the trailer too scary to actually watch it.
It's got creepy visuals including uncanny valley faces and spider-like features in characters. It's nothing graphic.

Thankfully my brain erased that experience
Aren't these 'girl with blue hair' jokes a bit old already?
Not if my porn is anything to go by.
nah I saw some animated documentary on Netflix and I can say for a fact that blue haired girls are mentally ill
Was that documentary called Arcane, by any chance?
Yeah, that's Ramona Flowers.
You mean the one with hair like this?
Tbf she was the only one with that haircut in that entire town
Yeah, did you hear about her seven evil exes?
I thought she had seven seven evil ex boyfriends!
Well they weren't all boys so...
I thought at least one of them was a girlfriend?

yeah exes.

I never picked up on that lesson, truth be told

I bet you any money that we're talking about the exact same person.
I could certainly see an adult Ramona Quimby changing her name to Ramona Flowers to get attention.
Oh it already is. She and Scott deserve each other (read that in a disdainful tone).
My therapist actually has blue hair though...
In college my friends said "never date a girl that's a psychology major. She's trying to figure out what's wrong with herself".

Well said. I'm married to a clinical psychologist and she's the most emotionally intelligent person I know. It's the best. She's the best.
The 3rd option of "neither" is a far better pick.
My daughter's therapist ticks a lot of 'manic pixie dreamgirl' boxes, but she seems to do it for my kid, so I guess it all works out.
Jinx is not amused by this statement
She'd be a prime candidate for some therapy though
IDK, in a dystopian capitalism end state blowing shit up while giggling sounds like good mental health to me
Who upvotes this braindead shit?
In walks the Therapist who strangely enough looks like johnny sins.
There must be something I can do to thank you for fixing my daddy issues...
Never have I wanted to be a therapist more.
OP: Blue haired girl meme!! Lol!
Chat: "Ok boomer!"
