Simply's Least Favourite Things - SimplyPodLogical #23

Cristine: I don’t like to point out individuals Ben: that’s very mature Also Ben: Gabbie Hanna?

For the "is there anything better about being a woman" question, I worked at build-a-bear for about three years and it infuriates me how difficult it is for little boys to like cute things and bright colors. So much of what's made for them is harsh, cold, dark colors, people fighting. If that's what the kid likes fine, but not all boys like that stuff, just like not all girls like pink frilly things. Seeing parents not allow their boys to even have the option of a more "girly" toy was always really upsetting. This almost never happened the other way around, I never saw a little girl who wasn't allowed to get a male superhero or star wars character, it was even encouraged. But boys were always feircely protected from anything pink. Once a little girl asked her younger brother if he wanted the pink or blue backpack and her mom snapped "he is not getting pink" at her. Once a boy wanted a Rey bear, and when the parent said "is that a girl bear though?" my coworker and I both very quickly went into "She's the main character" and even then the parent was hesitent. The worst was a dad who didn't even want to put a free heart in the bear because "it's for a boy." Like what? Are you saying boys are heartless? I think this is part of why Pokemon is so popular. Sure they fight, but they're something cute and brightly colored that boys are allowed to like without it being a thing. And then a really nice story. A mom came in to get a princess bear for "herself." Her kindergarden age son wanted a princess bear, but he already picked up the idea that he wasn't suppose to like that stuff. So his mom was getting herself a bear that he was allowed to play with. So, some parents are really great, but it still blows my mind how far back we are on letting boys like this stuff.

After the cameras went off -Ben “so what’s your actual least favorite thing about me”

You know we all thought of Jeffeee Star when she said rich isn’t a personality, and showing off the expensive bags.. 🐸

We’re getting a Ben’s Favorite Things now right? Edit: he DID say “maybe” at the beginning. I’ll keep my fingers crossed

The gross laugh that came outta me when Ben said gabbie Hanna-

Ben: “that really sucks that you can’t creatively express yourself through makeup right now.” Finally a man that understands!

Cristine’s least favorite things: 1) water marble End of list

top thing simply nailogical hates: ben trying to go on vacation.

"You upset me by eating too much hummus" Me watching while eating hummus and pita from the tub: 👁👄👁

When Cristine said she hates flower names: 👁👄👁 💔

Ben always being ready to spill tea is my favourite thing about him. I love that he’s the gossip of the two of them.

“So like Gabbie Hanna” RUTHLESS

I’d love to see a line of ‘basics’. A petal pink, a nude, pastels, that kind of thing. We all have them, but most of them are mediocre at best. I’ve got three different petal-pink-nude polishes and they all suck, I’d love a good quality one because I love the unicorn skins or holo tacos over them

Cristine: Insecure narcissists Ben: So like Gabbie Hanna Me: dies

She described insecure narcissism so perfectly it’s like she personally knows a person I just got away from

Simply’s fans have two things in common with Ben: we love Cristine, and we shady af

For Ben’s sake, I think we need a hummus-cast.

Ben is wilding out in quarantine 🤣 I love the energy. No cares given.

the fact that ben is more enthusiastic about hearing cristine’s opinions than all of us combined, i’m-😭❤️
