Good on her for owning upto it and him for not making it awkward.

I still think her response is a bit shitty…
Why do you need to be “qualified” to talk about a character arc??
Like, it’s not some obscure term that only film critics know or something only they get to have an opinion on… Seems like some unnecessary gatekeeping.
It’s Twitter so everyone is required to be unnecessarily rude
She may just be pointing out how buzzwords seem to explode throughout the internet, like when someone mentioned boiling a frog in a pot and now someone shares that exact metaphor in every 1 in 4 threads.
And it isn’t even true.
What’s not true, exactly?
A frog will jump out of a pot of water before its hot enough to kill it.
I think maybe you’re not understanding the concept of a metaphor.
I understand metaphors just fine.
“Lightning never strikes the same place twice” is a metaphor that people think is true too, doesn’t mean we can’t use it.
But you’re the one saying we can’t use it…?
yeah kind of a dumb response to begin with so it’s good she realized
The concept of character arcs is also pretty well known, so it’s not exactly an intellectual flex
Oh yeah, I know someone who named her kid Khaleesi. Oh dear.
But let’s be honest if you’re going to call your kid Khaleesi that kid was always going to grow to be a stripper. Poor kid. She is going to be in high school before she learns how to lean to spell it.
Just to be nit picky: Khaleesi was a title, like queen or chieftess. The character was named Daenerys Targaryen. So they would technically have not named their child after a character.
Name one other Khaleesi.

Daenerys met several former khaleesi’s when she was brought before the Doth Khaleen. While at this point, their husbands had been killed and they had given up the title of Khaleesi and adopted the new title of Khaleen, they were at one point each a khaleesi.
The only one I can remember by name is, Ornela, the one that befriended Daenerys.

Ha, I have a strategy for this case:
Ahem.
NEEEERD!
