I've seen Steins; Gate. Don't even know why I have not seen Full Metal Alchemist. It was recommended way before AOT.

Keep in mind that there are two Full Metal Alchemist anime series. If you're going to go for one, go for Brotherhood. It's far better than the original one and it has probably the most solid plot out of all the anime I've seen. It also has so many great characters for you to both love and hate.

Love and Death.......10/10

This show is about a sleepy Texas town which bursts to life after a quiet housewife decides to have an affair with her friend's husband. All hell breaks loose after one of the friends ends up dead and the town spirals into commotion.

Not a lot of TV show or rarely any project I've given a perfect score, but this beats my mind. This would easily score a 9/10 on any one's rating system but the ending and the perfect combination of all elements/ingredients of a great TV show all came together in unison to prop up the score. It'd be a crime not to acknowledge its perfection.

The acting was GOATED, the writing was unrivalled. The Cinematography was great; drawing you in, making you feel every emotion of its subjects as well as adding to the narration. Most people usually focus on Cinematography in great action set pieces but this just shows the pinnacle of good Cinematography and how it influences storytelling.

This show had it ALL. The suspense, the sensuality (in the first 3 episodes), the emotional strain, the individuality, the character development, the acting and mannerisms, the dialogue, the drama, the intrigue, draws you into investing on almost all the characters.

The court case is easily the most engaging court case I've ever seen. The most intense and ambiguous duel. You never knew who would come out tops, the Defendant or the Prosecution. Balanced as all things should be. Nothing was assured.

The score was perfection. You could feel the individual emotion the storytelling wanted you to with just listening to the sound.
Even the opening song perfectly captures the theme and atmosphere of the show. It plugs you in directly into the storytelling of the show right from the start. So good I already plucked two songs out from the score including the opener.


Elizabeth Olsen deserves her accolades bruh including the entire cast. Brilliant fvvking performance. Elizabeth did a perfect character study and deconstruction of Candy Montgomery. I'd think Olsen was a cold blooded killer herself with such performance. That's how believable she was.
Abeg, this Lily Rabe dey act abeg. WTF!! They both murdered their roles (pun intended). 😉

Bruh, kudos gats be given to HBO cos I don't understand where and how they put together this beautiful cast. Absolute awards worthy performance they all put out in this series. I just know a few of the actors like Elizabeth, Jesse Plemmons and the Judge guy, yet the rest totally blew me away with their individual performances. All brought their A game.

HBO has cooked greatness once more!! 🙌🙌
THIS IS HANDS DOWN THE BEST TV SHOW I'VE WATCHED IN 2023.
This is what I call god tier storytelling. A fitting adaptation of what is an actual TRUE LIFE STORY.

Wow. It's that good, huh? I just might check it out.

Baddestguyp:
Mixed feelings about Secret Invasion

I want to watch it but I fear disappointment.
Marvel shows always disappoint me

Has anyone here seen the first episode?

Yeah, I watched the first episode. It was so-so. I don't plan on continuing. I'd rather look for something actually good to watch.

Baddestguyp:
Still one of the of the best arcs I've ever seen in TV history - Hunter X Hunter Chimera Ants arc

This arc posed some philosophical questions about the true nature of humanity

"We are no different from the ants...in fact we are far worse..."

Sabi guy. It always warms my heart to come across fellow lovers of Hunter x Hunter.

Baddestguyp:
yes...
I've seen the first trilogy of Fate

Fate Stay Night
Fate Zero
Fate Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works...

Tried a few Fate shows or movies but they didn't do it for me like these 3...

I think Fate Zero is still the best Fate show till date...but it's a prequel that needs to be watched after Fate Stay Night or Unlimited Blade Works

I think you can watch Fate Zero and understand what's happening just fine without watching the rest.

Crumbian:



Going strong I think, I started to really get into it last year. Watched some really good ones like AOT, Cowboy Bebop, Steins; Gate, Jujutsu Kaisen 0, Chainsawman, Vinland Saga. Watched some ridiculous ones too like Space dandy, Jahy-sama.

You should also try Hunter x Hunter (my personal fave), Steins;Gate, Fate Zero, Rising of Shield Hero (season 1), Naruto (I personally prefer Shippuden), Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood. Those are the ones I can remember right now.

Wait... you can score tap-ins from long range?

ArticleBeast:
Hushpuppi my advice to you...Don't drop the gaddem soap.

Lol, Prison Break reference?

kneehighbootz:


I'm so sorry this awful thing happened to you and by your own mother no less. Please ignore the posters that call you weakling and softie for being hurt by your own mom.
They are the type to rape women when women turn down their advances. For all their strength and manliness, they can't turn their country to a workable one. Mtchewww.

Also listen to the merakhi poster and see a therapist if you can. I really think you should tell your father about what your mother said. Sometimes things need to fall apart so they can be made whole.

Is there a sibling you are close to? Tell that sibling so you have moral support. I also want to recommend this book by Karyl McBride, "Will I ever be enough?" I hope its useful to you.

I am so very sorry. You will heal from this, I promise.

Thanks.

Karlifate:

From your posts:
1. You love (and already used to) people sugarcoating words when talking to you.
2. You are a people-pleaser.

Oh boy, your radar is way off, you really should get that checked out. I don't mind being spoken to bluntly and I'm the opposite of a people-pleaser. Anyone who knows me would probably label me as an introvert because I do keep to myself but I never compromise and I certainly don't do stuff to please people, that's for sure. You clearly don't know what you're talking about. I didn't disagree with some of the comments because they were blunt, I opposed them because they were insulting, insensitive and reeked of ignorance.

Martinez39s:

All things separate tough men like from emotionally and mentally weak and fragile men like you. By the way, how come both your parents abused you? I thought your mum was the supposed culprit.

Tough men like you, huh? Please don't make me laugh. I don't know how many times I have to knock this through your head; You don't know squat about me. I pay absolutely no attention to what people say about me until they confront me with their bullsh!t, and then we work sh!t out, and I started caring even much much less after her accusations. Also, I, like most people, was mentally abused by both my parents many times. But the story I narrated was the one that stood out and impacted me the most which was why I brought it here. Just because you're used to bad parenting doesn't mean we shouldn't call people out for it. The only way we can even begin to solve anything is by acknowledging that there's a problem.

Hello Pot... meet Kettle.
She's literally also guilty of what she's accusing the guy of, and she doesn't even realize it. It's hilarious. Classic case of pot calling the kettle black lol.

minijasper03:


Are you sure that you were not in Mr Dreamland,when u claimed she accused you of sleeping with ur dad,since she didn't mention it again.�

Yeah I'm sure. She didn't mention it again because she realized she was wrong but couldn't bring herself to apologize. At least that's my theory. My Dad does it as well, he'd mess up but he'd never be able to bring himself to apologize. Some people might say that not apologizing for your errors is a manly attitude, but I strongly disagree. I realized something as a little boy, back then in school, if I did something bad in class and the teacher asked who did it, I'd raise my hand and the other students would be like "You could have gotten away with that if you hadn't raised your hand." What I'm trying to say is that the mark of a strong person is having the courage & honesty to take responsibility for your actions and then apologize for it, or better yet, fix it. But we prefer to shy away from our actions and then pretend that this shows how strong we are, when in fact, it only displays how cowardly and weak we really are. My mom is the type to throw around accusations without proof, there was another time she accused me of doing something I didn't do (this happened a few years ago), when she realized she was wrong, she then said "You don't even have it in your heart to forgive, it's like you don't have a soul" The first part of her statement led me to believe that she was referring to what happened 9 years ago. But how can you forgive a person who doesn't even acknowledge the fact that they've done something wrong, a person who hasn't even bothered to apologize, let alone, try to fix the error of their ways?

Ghostmode2two:


Very sorry to hear. The statement made by your mom shows how jealous women can be. Also I think your dad wasn't giving your mom attention the way he used to. Women generally are very funny being.

Thanks

Martinez39s:
We can agree to disagree. Like most parents, your parents, especially your father, didn't drill you in having a tough skin. You are overly emotional and fragile as far as this issue is concerned.

If you don't like what I have said, no problem; feel free to wallow in your misery and depression (and self pity, perhaps) brought about by the foolish accusation of your mother. If that's not enough, allow the foolishness of your mother to ruin your life completely, and after that, top it up with sniper or fall from third mainland bridge. After all, the sky won't fall when you are gone, and the world will move on. It's harsh of me, but I won't pamper you like others. You must be tough like a real man. Mtewww.

As I have said, words cannot hurt you except you let them. You can decide to move on and live a well-rounded and productive life, or keep wallowing in your misery and depression, and let your mother's foolishness ruin your life. Your mother's opinion on whether your father molested you or not is of no relevance to you, and it shouldn't ruin your life. Her unwarranted behaviour is something you should brush under the carpet as one of her foolish acts in life (we all have foolish acts).

If you let someone's foolish words/opinions ruin your life, it's your fault. In life, no cares what ruined your life; if you end up useless, it will all fall back on you. WEAK AND FRAGILE MAN. Good day.

You know, I can actually take some valuable things out of all the trash you're spewing, if only your parents had raised you to be empathetic and not be so quick to judge others. One thing's for sure though, if you called me weak and fragile to my face, I'd lay you out. But I guess everybody is a strong man online. Anyway, I'll have you know that I didn't narrate this story in order to garner sympathy from anybody. I posted it to see if I could get some peace of mind by letting it out and also to create some awareness about mental abuse from parents.

Ayemileto:


Well, I get your point sha.

But in the case of that twitter guy, the mum didn't die. In fact, she wasn't even sick.

Ha why then did he claim all that bullsh!t? Did he do it to get out of a bad situation? Dude must be really sick in the head.

TripleOh7:


You need to sit your mama down in private and make sure she tells you exactly what's wrong.

Is either of you a somnambulist?

Was she aware of what she said?

Instead of keeping stuff inside that will explode, talk about this with her to the point of numbness where you don't feel the pain anymore.

By the way, without meaning any disrespect to your mom, does your mom have any mental/psychiatric issues that hasn't been dealt with?

I've never sleepwalked in my life and I've never seen her sleepwalk.

Papadoh:
Lelouch Vi Britannia commands you... forgive & forget!

Funny enough, i actually get the reference (Code Geass). Sense fall on you, my n!gga, lmao.

Ayemileto:


It's possible.

During the total lockdown in Rivers, One man came to Twitter to narrate how his mother died because police at a particular checkpoint stopped him from taking her to the hospital, unless he paid them money.

According to his story, he offered to transfer money to them and they rejected it, saying it's cash they want.

Eventually, his mother died during the long delay.

Well, the story turned out to be false.

Firstly, someone claiming to be the guys sister came online to debunk it.

Also, Segalink, an human rights lawyer on twitter said the guy blocked him when contacted.


People can go to any length just to trend.

[b]Also, this is OP's first topic.
[/b]

I narrated this story with a new account in order to maintain my anonymity. I've been on NL since 2012. The fact that that guy lied about his mom doesn't mean i'm lying about what happened me to almost a decade ago. I have no reason to lie, i wasn't compelled to do this by anybody, and unlike that other guy, I'm not under any kind of pressure to justify anything (in his case, he had to justify why his mom died in his care, so he lied). Hope you get it sha.

kumulus:
A young boy's mental fabric was ripped at an early age by the very one who he's supposed to find security with and some bunch of idiots and nonentities dim it fit to say balderdash out of their profound foolishness. They fail to realize their condition, made obvious by means of their words is way worse than the OP's.

I understand your plights tho, you probably know zilch about human life.....

To the OP, find your peace in what was written in the Book; "......forgive them(her) for they(she) know not what they(she) do(did)".

Don't be surprised if you tried explaining the implications of what she did to her and she remains unapologetic, ours is a culture that prides its self so much on PRIDE(ego). Know very well that what she/anyone says does not define you but what the God in you says, this is liberation.....th very salvation that many seek.

Peace I leave with you brother, love and eternal light.

May blessing upon blessings fall on you. You just get it. I find comfort in knowing that there are Nigerians out there who are actually intelligent, open-minded and empathetic. Don't ever change.

alfredilly:
Your mum from the figment of her own imagination falsely accused you of sleeping with your dad. That's strange enough to warrant further questioning. Is your mum the weird type. How is her habit? Does she drink. What does the relationship between you and your mother look like before the incident? Hostile? Uncaring? Indifferent? How is her relationship with your dad?

If all this question yield no negative result and it is true your mother never bring it up again while you are still troubled, I think the wise thing to do is to ask your mum, one more time, why she acted that way. If she maintain her claim, then tell her to confront your dad with it.. You can also share the experience with your dad if your mum fail to do that.

Our relationship, prior to the accusation, was fine. She never drank. I was a bit of a teenage rebel but i certainly never would have imagined that kind of accusation coming from my mom... not in a million years. I was blindsided.

cococandy:


That’s terrible. I can’t even imagine how you feel. And you’re right. You could bring it up and she’ll deny it. Then It’s one big messy “he said she said” that might end up making you feel even worse.

Does she have any history of mental illness?
It’s so weird

No, I don't think so.

martowskin1:


Millions of teenage boys have been abused like this, but they won't speak up, am shocked he was able to speak, I have a friend who's mother apprentices molested at age 11.. This boy grew up and told no one...

The psychological damage goes a long way into manhood. ..

When u see most men messed up , u ask why are they like that, most times their boyhood was destroyed with stuff like this.

Is not about forgiveness, this young man head has been damaged... Speaking up in a faceless forum shows how deep his damage is

Someone who understands...thanks.

deltateam:


Dude, these are terrible times. We don't need this shit as reply. If your words can't build anyone up, better keep it to yourself.

It's not compulsory to comment.
People are dying because of depression. There's a thin line between life and death. Your words can push someone over the cliff or save him from destruction.

I don't think there's anything that could be said here that would make take such a drastic action. The funny thing is that the whole incident had a weird effect on, i went numb emotionally. Things stopped affecting me, words rarely had any effect on me, especially if they were uttered by my parents. Potentially fatal situations no longer scared me, i can't tell you how many times I've been in vehicle accidents and i would just get and keep walking, people round me would be expecting a reaction and i would just keep walking but nothing really matters. There was one time, back when we were in school, when a friend of mine had trouble with cultists. There were about 20 of them and they were about to pounce and i stood between them, ready for anything, as if i could take them all on. Their leader, the on in front of me, said he had gun in his lil bag, and i said "Don't talk about it if you're not going pull." That statement caught him off guard lol, he probably thought i belonged (which i don't )and they eventually just left us alone. There was another time when my guy and I were on our way our department, and we saw the number one cultist at our school walking towards us, unbeknownst to us, a fight had broken out when suddenly we saw a car pull up beside him, it was school security, the guy immediately pulls out an ax from inside his bag, security nigg@s just japa. And then he started walking our way, all of a sudden my vicinity don clear, everybody don evacuate in the blink of an eye. I paused for a few secs and then i just kept walking, i didn't care. That was when the guy spotted me, he was a bit surprised by the liver i showed and that was when he pulled out a glock, on seeing the gun, i paused again, and i tried to continue walking, my friend just ran over and pulled me away whilst screaming at me "Do you want to die?" to which i retorted "Relax, it's not a big deal." My friend prolly saved my life that day because we later heard that a girl got killed. Anyway, those are just a few instances demonstration how that incident made me value my existence less. It's disappointing how some Nigerians pass off their shallowness as some kind of strength, na only mouth dem get on top faceless forum. Thanks for your input, cheers

its a big proverb which means you are at your Dad's '' Beck and Call'' [Licking your papa's yansh ]
Firstly you should have asked her immediately but as you are someone who is shy and can't speak for yourself you keep this for a whole 9 years ruminate it in you little mind.

free yourself now and stop being a 'SIS'
[s]Assuming you slept with your daddy, your mum won't say it directly to you like. it is an abominable act and she will have gone about it differently.[/s]

if you are nurturing gay thoughts at the time then that might spurt out guilts

@Op, find a therapist and explain your situation. Most folks on nairaland are dumbass. They're not sensitive to emotional abuse. If it's not physical then it's not an abuse to them.

I can’t wrap my head round the fact that your mother continued staying married to the man that she saw sodomising their/her own child.
This is arguably the most tragic part of the story, that rather than confronting her fellow oath taker she chose to attack an innocent. The only thing worse than this folly of hers would be the act itself (your father having carnal knowledge of you), if it really happened.
I exonerate you from it all since you were a child and know you are not into incest.

Honestly you may not heal properly if you don’t talk about this with them. Your father deserves to know about this too and clear his name if innocent. Your mother has some work to do. Both in terms of accusing your father to his face and in explaining her self if what she said never happened.
As I see it, your family is very and truly broken, and silence would not make things any better.

Where do your other siblings fit in this dynamic?Are you sure it wasn’t a nightmare that you had?
Then to look at it in another light, if the horror really did happen, what if maybe you have repressed the traumatic memory?
My heart goes out to you any way one looks at this story. I hope you find healing. God bless you.

OMG thanks for stating the bolded. You don't know how many times I've thought that myself. Why stay with a man who would do that to your kid? Why not stop it when it was happening, since you claimed you saw it? I guess my own mistake was thinking that i could move on from it, but as time passed, it became much harder for me to even bring it up. My siblings live in different cities. I don't think she told my bro about it, but she called my sister who then called me. I told my sis that what mom accused me of wasn't true, my sis tried to be supportive towards me, but i could tell that she didn't really believe that i didn't know anything, and that was when i realized that i was truly alone because my sis was the one who always had my back. It wasn't a nightmare, but i wish it was. Repressed memory? You don't know how many times I've considered that possibility. While she was making her accusations, i was deep inside my own mind thinking "Why would i ever do something like with Dad, am i mad?" "No, is she mad?" "I would never do that!" And then i started doubting myself and started thinking "Maybe it happened and i repressed it." But even if that were the case, wouldn't I have felt that pain in my asshole... or something. But i didn't feel any body pains, I'd never felt any body pains and that's how I knew it wasn't a case of repressed memory. I thank you for your insightful comment, and God bless you too.
