#it's midnight right now so maybe that was a really cringey line but I feel like a genius
Text
Always thinking about those few moments in Limited Life when Cleo and Etho don't fully hate each other, when they almost seem to be quietly asking the other to stay / let them stay, like they're testing the waters for the possibility of being a part of the other's life again, like they miss the other.
To an extent, maybe Etho kind of just wanted pity and for it to be "Cleo's fault", whenever he said he would've been a part of the family if only he were "allowed". I could imagine that subconsciously he just wanted to not be at fault, and I think even deeper than that he missed her and wanted what they had back, even if he probably wouldn't admit to either.
I feel like Cleo meant it when they said he was allowed... by her anyways. I think they also meant "I'm not the one stopping you Etho, you're the one who keeps running away, you're the one that won't allow yourself to have that level of vulnerability and responsibility, who squirms our of his own skin whenever he really, truly, makes an attempt to be a member of this family, who can't bring himself to settle in and form genuine bonds with his own (ex-)wife and children, and who needs to defuse every emotional charged moment with a bomb"
I haven't watched Etho's POV yet, but when I do I am going to have so many updated takes on this from his perspective guys, you won't even know what hit you
#ngl I am so freaking proud of “[...] who needs to defuse every emotional charged moment with a bomb”#it's midnight right now so maybe that was a really cringey line but I feel like a genius#/half joke#rambling about blorbos#cletho#trafficshipping#the clockers#limited life

vignettes from a simple and good life ; miya osamu
pairing: miya osamu x f!reader
synopsis: a year in review.
tag(s): fluff ; warning(s): profanity, suggestive themes, kinda bad but i tried LOL ; wc: 1.3k
a/n: happy birthday to @bbytetsu ! ik i said i wouldn’t write anything but i’m a woman of my own word. also sorry this isn’t geto LOL. anyway this is kinda different from anything i’ve ever done but i hope you like it! love u
1.
he walks past you and suddenly the world’s aflame.
“um,” you stutter, turning around with wide eyes. “excuse me?”
cool grey irises hold your gaze expectantly.
he’s gorgeous.
“i–” you falter. there’s no way you can describe the feeling that made you turn around. the gravitational pull that sometimes occurs between strangers. perhaps the clever tugging of two red strings. separate melodies that converge at whim on a concord. it’s all so abstract, but that’s what you’re good at.
to your surprise, he just smiles. “same.”
2.
learning miya osamu is like learning to whistle: either you get it or you don’t.
you get it.
you get that he’s not at all the serious, stony-faced man he makes himself out as. that he’s hot-headed and petty but doesn’t want to be. that just because he’s not laughing doesn’t mean he’s not amused.
miya osamu is the dead of night and all the mischief that happens during it.
3.
seven a.m. is too early. osamu isn’t sure how he used to get up even earlier for morning practice, but then he remembers that that was when he loved volleyball. either way, it’s seven a.m. and for some god-forsaken reason, miya osamu is going on a hike.
(god-forsaken is a bit dramatic. it’s not all that bad – he’s just grumpy in the morning. actually, to think of it, it’s not bad at all…)
“one cappuccino," he tells the barista. and then his eyes widen. smiling, he adds, “and a matcha latte, please.”
4.
it dawns upon you in the passenger seat of his car.
“what?” he asks, feeling your eyes on him as he drives.
“… nothing.”
“tell me,” he laughs, squeezing your hand with his free one.
“later,” you promise, feeling giddy with realization.
osamu hums, a small smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth.
5.
the light from his laptop illuminates osamu’s darkened bedroom, bathing both of you in a subtle blue glow. osamu looks down at your body tucked into his side and smiles. he whispers your name. “are you awake?”
there’s no reply – just the steady stream of your shallow breaths.
maybe you hadn’t meant to fall asleep in the middle of your movie night but now that you have, osamu doesn’t have the heart to wake you. it’s late, it’s still a little cold outside at night, and it’s not like you’re busy tomorrow morning…
and maybe he doesn’t want you to go. carefully, osamu shifts around to make you both comfortable, slings an arm over your waist, and closes his eyes.
you wake up to the smell of breakfast and the swingy tune of twenties jazz.
6.
how do you know it’s love?
you tell him that he feels like a soft blanket and a rollercoaster ride at the same time.
he laughs and grabs your hand, placing it on his chest right where his heart is.
“that’s how i know,” he says.
7.
when you step into his apartment, the first thing you notice is the mouthwatering scent floating out of the kitchen.
“babe?” you call out.
a muffled “kitchen!” reaches your ears.
the kitchen’s a mess of ingredients. and in the middle of the mess is your boyfriend. lo and behold, miya osamu is yet again experimenting with new recipes for onigiri miya, mixing potential fillings in a large metal bowl, wearing the “kiss the chef” apron you bought him a while back. he takes a bite of the stuff on his spoon and looks up at the ceiling in thought. not a single muscle in his face twitches, probably because he isn’t sure what to think of it.
you clear your throat. “hey, you.”
smiling, osamu spins around. “hi, angel. can you taste this and tell me whatcha think?” he spoons out some more of the mixture in the bowl, holding it out for you to try.
“sure,” you say, and you ignore the spoon, pressing your lips to osamu’s for a kiss instead. when you pull away, you lick your lips and hum. “needs more salt.”
the grin on his face is absolutely charmed. “i thought so, too.”
8.
what most people get wrong about miya osamu is that he doesn’t talk much.
he does.
(“and i told her she had the wrong place, but that woman just wouldn’t leave,” he complains, pacing around your living room with so much force that you think you might have to check on the rug once he’s gone. “held up the entire line, too. so embarrassin’. and then she said she’d leave us a one-star review, which is ridiculous because it’s not like i could make her a burrito, right? jesus. so i told her to go fu–”
“babe,” you laugh, pulling him gently towards the sofa.
osamu sits down beside you and inhales deeply. “so i tell her to go fuck herself–” he pauses when your hand runs through his jet black hair. seconds later, you feel his firm body melt against your arms.
“well, go on,” you say with a giggle. “what happened after?”)
osamu just doesn’t talk to most people.
9.
and when he isn’t talking, he’s thinking.
“i saw something funny earlier. if you were a tortured poet,” you ask on the walk home, “what would be the cringey quote people know you for?”
osamu raises his brows and looks up at the sky. “hmm,” he says, grinning. the two of you continue walking as he mulls over your question. a few minutes later, he says, “take not my silence for a lack of thought. i am always thinking. i am haunted by the magnitude of thoughts i can never put to spoken word.”
you stop in your tracks. “that was actually good,” you say in disbelief. “what the hell? ‘magnitude’? seriously?”
he shrugs and slings an arm over your shoulder. “i’ve been readin’ lately. forbes said somethin’ about good leaders readin’ books’.”
“are you actually haunted, though? ‘cause you can always tal–”
“no,” osamu laughs. “i like my thoughts. and if i really like ‘em, i just say ‘em. it’s a simple and good life.”
10.
“you’re beautiful,” he breathes, pressing kisses up your neck.
the air’s thick with tension and want and he needs to be closer – he needs every inch of your bare skin touching his and even then that wouldn’t be close enough.
but it’d be a great place to start.
“god, you’re so beautiful.”
11.
when he steps into your bedroom, you don't even notice.
“hey,” osamu says, knocking on the door.
jumping in your seat, you whip your head around to face the intruder. “you scared me,” you sigh.
“i texted you this morning and it’s almost midnight now,” he says, frowning. “had me worried.” osamu walks to your desk and observes your work over your shoulder.
“i’m sorry,” you apologize, tilting your head back against his chest. “this is due soon and i lost track of time. i’ve been at this since midnight last night.”
osamu’s frown deepens. “what?” he spins you around in your chair and studies your face with disbelief. but seeing the bags under your eyes and frazzled hair, he suddenly completely believes you. of course you’d procrastinate for days and then work yourself to the bone.
his firm hands find your shoulders and squeeze. “take a break.”
“‘samu–”
“or at least let me give you a little massage.”
12.
“when i stopped you in the street,” you say, “what was going through your mind?”
osamu laughs, the light sound melting into the mellow atmosphere of the restaurant. “nothing. absolutely nothing.”
“how romantic.”
“for the first time in my life,” he says, grey eyes twinkling, “my head went silent.”
he raises his glass of wine and takes a sip.

Sleepless Nights
Summary: You can’t sleep but your boyfriend reads to you until you do
Pairing: Draco Malfoy x Reader
Warnings: None
Word Count: 1,154
#A/N: Requested by @thehumanistsdiary , I hope you like it! Poem is Sonnet 43 by Elizabeth Barrett Browning because its the only poem I know 👀😅
Your eyes fell on the clock in the room every 5 minutes as you watched the minutes tick by. You had curled up in Draco’s arms at midnight after a long night of studying for your O.W.L.S which were coming up in the following weeks. Studying with Draco was both a blessing and a curse though, he was ridiculously smart, but at the same time, he had no idea how distracting he was.
“Stop oogling me and read those ridiculous leaves of yours.” He’d said just hours prior.
“I can’t help that my boyfriend is so distractingly pretty, wanna take a break and cuddle?” That cuddle had turned into much much more after your teasing but at least you were both more relaxed than you had been…
Yet here you were, wide awake curled into Draco’s side as he snored away. Draco had practically fallen asleep the second his head hit the pillow, whereas you had laid there for an hour straight just admiring his face, not one ounce of tiredness in you.
The moonlight hitting his face made him seem fairer than he already was, watching Draco sleep was always one of your favourite things to do, though some of your friends had called you ‘Edward Cullen’, whoever that was, after you told them. It was one of the only times he looked completely peaceful. Your brought up your index finger to trace the lines of his face, cupping his jaw when you had traced all of his features. You couldn’t help yourself as you propped yourself up on your other arm and tilted his face closer to yours to drop a kiss on his lips. You pulled away, feeling slightly weird about kissing him whilst he was asleep, but you really had no self-control when he looked like that.
You just leant back onto the arm you had propped yourself up on, happy to just watch him sleep. Usually when you couldn’t sleep, you’d just lie there and stare at the ceiling, this was one hundred times better.
“Please don’t tell me it’s morning already.” He hadn’t shown the slightest signs of being awake so to say you were surprised was putting it lightly. “It’s about 1am, go back to sleep Draco.”
His arms moved from where they had fallen to on the bed, to wrap around your shoulders and waist, bringing you back down to his chest. “Can’t sleep?” Draco’s raspy voice, still thick from sleep was your favourite sound in the whole world, one of the many reasons you loved waking up beside him in the mornings.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to wake you up.” You tucked yourself back into his chest as his arms tightened around you, dropping a kiss on the top of your head. You could tell he was having trouble staying awake no matter how much he tried to mask it, he should know by now he can’t hide anything from you.
“It’s okay, I’ll stay awake with you.”
“Draco, we both have 9am lessons tomorrow, at least one of us should get some sleep.” Draco just ignored you and reached over your shoulder to grab something from his nightstand and flicked the switch to turn the lamp on. Both of you winced as the lights came on, you buried your face in Draco’s neck in attempts to shield your eyes from the lights.
“I thought we were sleeping, turn it off!” He instead sat up against the headboard, bringing you up with him. You were still curled into his side, both of his arms around you but instead of his hands gripping at your waist, they held onto a book.
“How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.”
You were in love with Draco Malfoy, you knew that. You’ve known for the past two years. Yet listening to him read you poetry when he himself was only half awake, you found yourself falling in love with him all over again. One of his hands moved up to gently massage your scalp as he kept his eyes on the book in his other hand. The soothing tenor of his voice paired with the soft movements on your head had your eyes suddenly feeling heavy.
“I love thee to the level of every day’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.”
You hummed into his neck as he dropped a kiss on your nose in between lines of the poem. You had never been one for poetry, and you hadn’t thought Draco was either, but as he read to you, you realised you could listen to him recite poetry forever, no matter how cringey you thought it was. Your eyes slipped closed as you focused on Draco’s voice, feeling the calmest you had all week.
“I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.”
Draco finished the poem and looked down to see you snoring lightly into his neck, ‘adorable’ he thought. He returned the book to his nightstand and reached over to turn off the lights; sinking back down onto the bed, careful not to wake you as he brought you down with him.
It was his turn to stare now. Even though his vision was limited to the moon light, he still thought you were the most beautiful person he had ever seen.
He rarely had a full night’s sleep, often waking up in the middle of the night for an hour or two, that’s why he had started reading poetry. At first, he read it because it bored him to death, but he started enjoying it somewhere along the line. But on nights where he was lucky enough to be asleep next to you, he would just watch you sleep until he fell asleep again, content to just watch your peaceful expression. It was at times like this he wondered how he deserved someone like you, how he had gotten someone like you to fall in love with someone like him.
It was when you unconsciously burrowed yourself further into his hold that he realised. It was when you were deep in sleep but still called him name when he left to use the bathroom. It was when you murmured his name with furrowed brows, arms stretched out as if looking for him that he realised that maybe he meant as much to you as you did to him.

June 13th, Wednesday
A Law student was walking soaked wet in the rain in the busy streets of Manila. She already knew that it was going to rain really hard that day, but instead of bringing her umbrella with her, she gave it to her friend.
She ran at the nearest train station and fixed herself, she waited for the train to come and immediately searched for the seat she personally liked, and as expected she saw the student from the nearby university, again. The girl thought that it might be just a mere coincidence that the guy has always the same exact schedule as her everyday, even on weekends.
Days and weeks passed, but nothing changed. Everyday the girl would find the guy sitting in the front of her seat, as if it is also the guy’s favorite spot. Sometimes, she finds it odd that everyday they are in the exact same place. A Rainy Wednesday night came, everything was a mess, everyone was in a rush, the train was packed and full. The girl decided to ride the train despite the amount of people inside the train, despite her being awkward around a lot of people in a room. She was already tired of waiting for the next train and took the risk and got inside the train.
She was stuck in front of the door and people were being violent because of the uncomfortable crowd. She was about to pass out but fortunately, a guy caught her before she even fell, held her hand and placed it to the pole handle in front of them. The guy whispered, “are you okay?” The girl can’t even think straight and process anything because of the dizziness she feels. Out of instinct the guy moved closer to her and made her lean her head to his chest. The guy usually goes off in Abad Santos station, but decided to stay with the girl up until the last station because somehow, he’s concerned about the girl’s condition. When the train was about to reach its last stop, the guy whispered to the girl leaning towards him,
“We're already on the last stop.”
The girl opened her eyes and immediately apologized to the convenience she caused to the guy she doesn’t even know.
They got off the train and walked side by side silently, both of them hesitating who would break the thin ice that makes their walk awkward, in the end the girl initiated the conversation.
“Architecture?”
“Yeah, you?” the guy answered.
“Law” she answered back with a smile.
The girl was about to talk but the guy talked first and suddenly asked “Are you okay?” The question made the girl stunned and surprised. She just smiled at him because they both know she’s not.
Her temperature was high earlier and it’s impossible that guy, in where she rested her head and leaned in won’t notice that she’s sick. Both of them continued to walk, both of them didn't even know where they were heading to.
The guy stopped by in the front of a convenience store and asked the girl to wait for him outside, the girl just nodded and patiently waited for him. Few minutes later the guy came back, with a fever patch, bottled water, warm milk, cup noodles, cupcakes, and a pack of chocolates.
He asked her to sit outside the convenience store where the tables and chairs were placed. He prepared everything and asked the girl to start eating.
She just stared at him, completely confused.
“Eat, so you would gain your energy and smile again.” he said while placing a fever patch in the girl’s forehead.
She can’t process what he just said, but the only thing she knew was,
She’s thankful.
After a few minutes of hesitating, she ate what the guy gave her, she’s also hungry and tired after all.
“Thank you.” she gently whispered, but already enough for the guy to hear it. They finished eating their “dinner” and cleaned up their table and decided to go home.
Both of them already bid their goodbye, but unexpectedly the guy ran back, held her hand, and asked.
“What’s your name?”
“Elie, you?”
“Taeyong.”
“Thank you for today, Taeyong.”
“See you tomorrow, Elie.”
The next day, The train stopped at the third station and Elie saw Taeyong, entering the train with a warm wide smile on his face. Things felt different that day, even if the weather was bad, the two of them seeing each other felt like it was all sun and rainbows all day. Elie expected that Taeyong was going to sit in front of her seat again, but things went differently. Taeyong sat right beside her, greeted her with a sweet and warm “good morning” and immediately touched her forehead to check her temperature.
“Do you feel better now?” he asked. Elie just nodded with a smile, but deep inside she was actually saying
“Yeah, thanks to you.”
“Do you have a class today? Review? Leisure?” Taeyong asked.
“I’m just going to pick up something and maybe go home early to rest.” she answered.
“Do you want to have breakfast with me?”
“Sure, I’d love that.” she answered with a bright smile.
After that morning, Taeyong and Elie always find themselves sitting next to each other everyday in the train. From the warm breakfasts, a good vibe lunch, sweet afternoon coffee and tea’s to cozy and fancy dinners. Taeyong would always stay with Elie until the last train stopped to accompany her and sometimes, he would also send her home.
Days, Weeks, and Months passed. The relationship between the two of them grew stronger and deeper. They started to have cute and cringey pet names, they became more clingy towards each other. Both of them knew, they were about to fall,
In love.
1st day of September, The sun was already down and the heavy rain was pouring in the busy streets of Manila. T
Taeyong was waiting outside Elie’s university, hours passed, but he still patiently waited. He even had thoughts that maybe the girl is busy, have a lot of things to do. Minutes and hours passed, it was almost midnight, but Taeyong, the man he is, still waited for the girl he likes.
The clock struck 12, a signal that it was already midnight, and the day already ended, but there was still no Elie coming out the University gate.
Taeyong was about to leave when he saw a beautiful girl coming out of the gate, a girl that has dark brown eyes, pale skin, chapped lips, dark hair that was tied in a bun, wearing a big pair of lenses, carrying a lot of thick books. Despite the fact that the girl was in complete and stress, she still managed to smile at the guy looking at her, lovely.
As Elie was walking towards him, Taeyong stared at her deep brown eyes, he assured her eyes to be connected to his as he was about to say consequential. He held her hand and smiled, the girl noticed his action and asked,
“Why?”
Taeyong pulled her into a hug and expressed the fragment of his feelings towards her.
“Atty. Elie Suarez, I’ve loved you from the moment I laid my eyes on you, I see you everywhere, in the stars, in the river; to me you’re everything that exists, the reality of everything. I want to pass through life with you by my side, to be my second self, and the best earthly companion. You became my sun, my moon, and all of my stars.---” The guy stared right into her eyes and said
“I want to spend the rest of my sunsets with you.”
Elie didn’t know what to say, she thought that was the worst day of her life in law school because she got scolded by an attorney, almost failed to attend a class, stayed in the library to finish a lot of syllabus, she ended the day with such a stressful mood, but after all she have Taeyong, waiting for her outside the gate. Despite the heavy rain, cold breeze air, and countless amounts of smoke around the area, Taeyong waited for her, and unexpectedly expressed his feelings.
Elie felt like she’s the luckiest person alive at that time. She maybe had the worst earlier,but Taeyong started her day, like it’s the best feeling in the world.
She was about to answer Taeyong’s confession, when the guy’s phone rang. He stared at it for a minute and Elie just shrugged it off and told him to answer his phone first.
Which somehow, she regretted right after.
She found herself in front of a hospital, his ex was pregnant.
She was just there spacing out, can’t even cry, wasn’t able to process anything, everything. An hour passed, he came out and just hugged Elie, crying. He kept on saying, asking for forgiveness.
“I’m sorry.” Taeyong didn’t have to explain why he’s sorry, she knows, he’s the father of that child.
Elie gave a white lie, “It’s okay.”
“Please tell me you love me, I’m willing to risk everything for you, we can start over, we can try again.” Elie just smiled when she heard him.
“You know what? You look tired, go get inside, get some rest. As your friend, I don't want you to get sick too, besides you’re going to have a baby now, your own little star, aren’t you happy?” Elie casually said, trying to hide the pain with a smile.
Taeyong was lost and confused and asked “friend?”
Elie just nodded and smiled, “yeah, we’re friends right?”
“Right, friends.” Taeyong whispered bitterly.
“Anyway, i should go now, see you around Taeyong.” Elie said and smiled as she started to turn her back and walk away, leaving Taeyong alone.
Elie found herself walking in the rain again, alone, lonely, and devastated. The rain poured heavier and made her soaked in the rain, she cried, she finally admitted to herself, she was deeply hurt, but she doesn’t want to be selfish. The child needs a father, she doesn’t want to take him away. Even if it shattered her into pieces.
“Perhaps we’re wishing for each other upon the same star, but I think we did it wrong. Even if you’re not here to stay, I am happy the universe allowed your soul to stop by. Now that I know you exist, how can I not love you? Atleast, we breathed and moved in the same world. In the end, we will all become forgotten stories, I’ll see you when the road decides it's time for our paths to cross again.”
She was never sure if Taeyong was the lighthouse of her life, or the storm.
She cried her heart out, wished and whispered to herself.
“If this is a dream, please wake me up.” as soon as she wished, she woke up.
She immediately checked her phone, and it said
“June 13th, Wednesday.”

Bobby: There’s loads of people I’d fake kill, none I’d stay out til midnight 💃🕺 with
Libi: Maybe the ‘glass’ slippers are still in the cupboard
Libi: you can make it your diva request
Libi: you really FEEL your character would wear shoes made out of sellotape in every scene
Bobby: sticking to the floor might make me a bit easy to catch ❌🏃🏻🚔🚨
Bobby: I’ll probably save them to wear backstage
Libi: Power move
Libi: In English now, but I’ll go have a loo break and sign us up
Libi: There were only a few names already on there
Bobby: Hang on, is there anyone signed up that’ll put me off? You left that off the pic

Bobby: I think you’d suit a one-woman show but sir bothered to 💭 up all those roles now so it’d be a bit rude
Libi: You overestimate my abilities 😚
Libi: but it is encouraging
Libi: I think it could be really cool if you were the 😈 guy if I WERE to be the 😈 girl, because we could basically secretly communicate and no one would clock it was us ‘til the end and it’d be such a good reveal that we were signing in plain sight, you know?

Bobby: I don’t wanna 🤞 that neither get roles, America’d probably be decent at the over the top stuff sir’s gonna want to make people laugh
Bobby: distance’ll have to do
Bobby: I’ll 🤞 instead that she don’t notice them sneaking in or out
Libi: She’ll for sure get a role, if she’s auditioning
Libi: Which I bet she will, the get-out-of-lessons-free pull is real for us all
Libi: She’ll be too busy making her own 📹 I reckon
Bobby: 🤔 How many lessons do you reckon we’ll end up missing?
Libi: The nearer the performance the more rehearsals they usually end up pulling for
Libi: But it’s Wednesday and Friday after school, so sometimes we get to miss last lesson on those days
Bobby: Alright, I’ll get over my 😳
Libi: You’ll be great
Libi: I wonder what other boys will audition
Libi: There’s never quite enough boys
Libi: What about Sean?
Bobby: I can’t imagine him learning lines
Bobby: Jake’s mates though, easy to 💭 of them trying to take over
Libi: Totally, every school event is a popularity contest as far as their egos are concerned
Libi: Some of them will think they’re too cool to even do it for a laugh but really it’s just 😳
Libi: As long as we have each other, it doesn’t matter
Bobby: It’ll be great, me and you, even if it takes me a sec longer to find my feet without sellotape 👠
Libi: 😚
Libi: It’ll be good to have a school thing we can actually do together
Libi: this school needs better clubs
Bobby: I bet he’ll let you start a 🎥📽🎞 club after the play
Bobby: when he’s 🤞🤩🤞 you’ll sign up for the next one
Libi: Okay I don’t know about that but that would be fun
Libi: even if it was just you and me again because no one else has seen a film that isn’t in Netflix’s catalogue 😆
Bobby: Even if it’s just us he’ll have a hard job ❌😒👎 when you’ve done such a good one
Libi: We’ll see 🤞
Libi: Usual spot at break then? I better go do some actual work now 😓
Bobby: 👀
Bobby: Me too, dunno who said there wasn’t any in transition year
Libi: They want to make it seem like there’s a break between exams, but as if they’re gonna let you get away with doing nothing
Libi: not got enough ideas to keep you busy 😏
Libi: Guess it is nice to have all that time to decide what to pick for next year but if you’ve already got a good idea… 🤷♀️
Bobby: Reckon if they could force everyone in the year towards that sign up sheet they would
Bobby: about as far as their ideas go
Bobby: good thing I can sort myself out
Libi: With a little help 🤏
Libi: I know my Grandma will help us out loads though, she’ll be buzzing about this
Bobby: Yeah 🤏 of work with Jim at his for a start
Bobby: when I’m not fake murdering people with you anyway
Bobby: he’ll be buzzing at the chance to art and craft again too 😏
Libi: Awh
Libi: Bet he’s missed school so much, like
Bobby: 😂
Libi: [Skip to day where they put the roles up]
Libi: I think I’m going to be late
Libi: If you want to walk to school without me
Bobby: I don’t mind waiting, not got loads on first thing
Libi: I can’t get my hair to do anything
Libi: stupid, I know
Bobby: I get it, you wanna look worthy of your starring role
Bobby: you’ve already earned it though
Libi: More like, I don’t want to look a total mess if I already made an idiot out of myself in auditions
Libi: China’s gloating will be insufferable enough without giving that satisfaction too
Bobby: I was there Libs, you didn’t
Bobby: China’ll be the one dreading the list and you can 😁 all you like
Libi: Lowkey feel like I’m gonna barf, this is ridiculous
Libi: and no one seems to know if they’ll put the list up break or lunch-time
Bobby: if you wanna stay home, I’ll keep lookout for it
Libi: No, I can’t do that
Libi: but thanks, I’ll only be 5 more minutes, max, promise
Bobby: enough time for me to make you a congrats card
Libi: Only if you make yourself one too
Libi: If I get a part, it’s only because of you, so you will too
Bobby: if I get a part it’s only because of you, more like
Bobby: and Jake’s mates messing up most of their lines
Libi: Okay, it’s not me admitting I was amazing to say some of them were awkwardly bad 😬
Libi: Thought Sir might start crying/have his nervous breakdown before we’d even started
Libi: Oh God what if one of us gets a role where we have to be all 😍 with one of that lot instead, that’ll be so… 😰
Bobby: I’d have to drop out of it before being 😍 with her
Bobby: save me from my own breakdown or her from a real murder
Libi: We can’t let you go that method, let the 🤩 go to your head
Bobby: You keep my head the right size, I’ll keep you from 🤮
Libi: Keep your hands clean of any real 🩸 it’s not that play
Libi: 🤐 on the name
Bobby: You don’t reckon I could play Scotish royalty? It’s not like I have to bother with the accent
Libi: ‘course you could
Libi: and she’d make an excellent witch
Libi: totally a compliment 😇
Libi: alright, I’m ready
Bobby: So’s your card
Bobby: If I was as 😇 as you, I’d have made her one saying sorry she missed out
Libi: no substitute for 🌹 at her feet, I feel
Libi: let’s 👀
Libi: [can skip again to after we actually know, ‘cos clearly that would be in person at school]
Bobby: [fuck that teacher for having a marvelous time ruining everything]
Libi: [could’ve been brave and taken that risk but nah, so rude]
Libi: hey
Libi: you awake?
Bobby: [at least IRL he could focus on being happy for her cos he is instead of having to pretend it’s fine when it’s not fine which she obvs would’ve seen through]
Bobby: You don’t need to keep worrying, you got the part over her and she’s still got one to keep her too busy if she fancies sabotage
Libi: I’m not worried
Libi: just bummed out, I suppose
Bobby: prospect of spending that much time with Jake’ll do that
Bobby: maybe China’ll bully him into quitting
Libi: he isn’t even her boyfriend
Libi: not that it matters, because it’s acting
Libi: I really thought he’d go for our idea
Bobby: I probably should’ve known he wouldn’t
Bobby: sorry for getting your hopes up, Libs
Libi: It’s not your fault
Libi: it feels kind of… wrong?
Libi: but not in a provable way, arguably he was better for the role and you still have one so
Libi: I don’t know
Libi: I’m sorry, are you alright?
Bobby: It’s not yours either, and yeah, maybe he was better
Bobby: face, and more importantly voice, fits
Bobby: we still get to hang out, that’s what’s alright by me
Libi: I don’t think he’s better
Libi: but yeah, that’s what it’s all about
Libi: and there’s plenty other people who got cast who are actually nice
Libi: we could do our own rehearsals separate to the regular ones, once a week or something, with those people, do some bonding
Libi: friday nights maybe? get takeout, watch a relevant movie or show, it doesn’t have to be all serious and 🤓
Bobby: Then I don’t care what sir thinks
Bobby: I’m in and Sean will be too, I don’t see why crew should be left out
Libi: 😊
Libi: Totally, whoever wants to come can
Libi: just think it’s fair to assume that they won’t wanna come any more than we’d really like them there
Bobby: What’s the first film or show gonna be?
Libi: That’s the question 🤔
Libi: [The relevant Poriot episodes] One of these, for sure, but how do you decide between a deadly murder mystery party and a deadly halloween party?!
Bobby: You were ready, have you been watching them both instead of 😴?
Libi: Maybe
Bobby: Your dreams are gonna be so on brand, let me know about it if you kill Jake
Libi: Bobby 😂
Libi: Imagine the look on her face if I was overheard dreaming about Jake
Bobby: 😡🤬🤯
Libi: Not trying too convince him it’s real, just the audience
Bobby: Neither of them need much convincing, they’re sure everyone’s 😍💘🌹 for them and their mate group
Libi: It’s so weird
Libi: How are they so unaware?
Bobby: I dunno but it don’t help now that sir has fuelled the 🔥
Libi: Yeah 🙄
Libi: Main characters of the School
Libi: must be nice to be so in 💘 with yourself
Bobby: You got a bit of their usual 👏🌹 today, what did you think?
Libi: I wouldn’t go that far
Libi: we all got parts
Libi: I don’t feel any different or better, that’d be weird
Bobby: 🤏 I said,‘cause I knew you wouldn’t
Bobby: but alright, I’m glad you’re still you
Libi: You thought I’d turn into a total diva? 🥺
Libi: how very rude 😏
Bobby: I’m just sulking ‘cause Mullan literally cast me as a mime, white gloves and all
Libi: Oh no
Libi: Can’t unsee 😬
Libi: but you’re gonna make it so much more than that
Libi: even if just to spite him, prove how 🔥 you can be without a voice
Bobby: and for the next play, unless it’s a musical or something even more 😬 than Cinderella
Libi: There’s the whole Disney catalogue to go through…
Libi: OMG
Bobby: Just don’t start dreaming of Jake as your prince charming
Libi: NO
Libi: LET ME STOP SHOUTING
Libi: but how cool would you as a boy Ariel be
Libi: unless you really want flowing long red hair
Bobby: BUT it’s such a fun throwback 🔊❕📢❗️
Bobby: 🤔💭?
Bobby: put it in the school suggestion box tomorrow in all CAPS
Libi: Hey! 😳
Libi: I was much younger and even more foolish back then
Libi: I’m reticent to give any more of my good ideas to Mr Mullan now
Bobby: yeah, what’s his excuse for being a poohead?
Libi: If we’re bringing up past embarrassments
Libi: I remember PLENTY too, FYI 😜
Libi: Honestly, I don’t know why J&J didn’t try harder to tell me to 🔉
Bobby: You’d never 😳 me when I’m down
Bobby: and you shouldn’t be 😳 for then, it was 🤝 not 👊
Bobby: your heart has always been massive and right where it should be
Libi: Backatcha Bobs 😊
Libi: Best friends for a reason
Bobby: Exactly, so you don’t have to worry
Bobby: we’ll have as much fun doing the play as we planned
Libi: That’s all I care about
Libi: well, I’d quite like to not shame myself and do a good job with this play
Libi: definitely 🥈 though
Bobby: Well that’s a given and all, didn’t you read your congrats card?
Bobby: I’ll have to get some real 🌹🌹 to chuck, you won’t be able to ignore them
Libi: Of course I did
Libi: but you’re my best friend, you HAVE to say all those things
Bobby: I’m a non-speaking character, saying it in spite of that
Bobby: must be important
Bobby: 🤏
Libi: I’ll stop worrying at full 🔊
Libi: It’ll be good
Libi: Do you think I should like, try to get together with Jake and Louie, get to know them and work out how to make our respective 💘s work?
Libi: I can’t think how to word it without sounding like I’m being thirsty
Bobby: *at any volume
Bobby: It will be good, I promise
Bobby: you could ask if they wanna run lines, see how they react, if they take it as you’re 😍💘🌹 1.’cause it’s them you’re expecting that and 2. it’s such a 😇🤓 request they’d be the ones who look 🤤
Libi: Ugh, how is that easy for you? 😎
Libi: That’s perfect
Libi: they signed up for the play too, they must wanna put some effort in too
Bobby: I wouldn’t go that far *😳
Bobby: It should work alright though, they bothered to learn their lines for the audition on top of signing up
Libi: Louie is alright
Libi: I’ll start with him
Libi: Lucie who’s playing the maid is cute
Bobby: He is, you’ll be alright
Libi: Don’t you think so?
Libi: She could be your 💘 and she can really beef up her role and be devastated when you get whacked
Bobby: I don’t mind her being 💔 if she wants but I don’t think I need a 💘
Libi: Married to the job
Libi: I see it
Bobby: There you go, it makes loads of sense
Libi: Plus Lord whatshisface might be being a rogue with her
Libi: that makes more sense
Bobby: 😂
Libi: Do you wanna go to the shops after school tomorrow? 👀 inspo even if we just window shop
Bobby: There’s loads of props I wanna have a go at making so I do need to have a look about to get them right
Bobby: it’s a date
Libi: I’ll wait on the 🌹🌹
Libi: Really should do some work for them first
Bobby: I can always put to 🖍 paper or fold you a paper one
Libi: Only if you colour it in [her favourite crayon colour name]
Bobby: [We’re obviously doing that as we watch these Agatha eps so prove of both those things in progress is gonna get sent]
Libi: 😇🤓 points x1000
Bobby: That’ll be why sir didn’t give me the 😈 role, if we asked
Libi: Hmm
Libi: He’s just failing to see your full potential but not for long
Libi: no one can ignore the talent
Bobby: He’s seen my potential for carrying a tray, might be as far as it goes for him
Bobby: least until my 🔈🧜♂️ starring role changes his mind
Libi: You are old enough to get that part-time job
Bobby: Imagine serving China and her mates ☕️ every day though
Bobby: not to disrespect the family trade but
Libi: 😅 I’m sure Jim would NEVER wish that on you
Libi: At least Asia was kinda nice, she could be anyway
Libi: Comparing her group to China’s now, feel like you’d be worse off
Bobby: he might wish the tips on me, but I reckon you’re right about it not being worth it
Libi: That’s true, it’s probably the best 💰💰 part-time
Libi: I want to get one, to help out, but I don’t know what I’ll do
Bobby: I’m gonna see if a proper job’ll come of going to work with him this year, even if that’s just doing ☕️ for everyone
Libi: That’d be ideal
Libi: I can totally see it happening, you’re enjoying it and they’re all impressed with you
Libi: 🤞🤞
Bobby: And we’ve got time to find a job for you 🎥📽🎞 that isn’t just scooping 🍿 into a carton
Libi: If I got to watch all the films for free
Libi: but that kind of slacking would make the whole job bit of it pointless 😅
Libi: We’ve got time
Libi: maybe I’ll be a maid
Libi: or a socialite, without the social-standing
Bobby: I bet [the name of a cinema that still plays films in an old school way] would train you as a projectionist
Libi: 😱
Libi: I can’t believe I’ve never thought about that
Libi: Do you think they would? That’d be-
Libi: -well 😍
Bobby: I’d put 💰💰 from my first wage on it
Bobby: you know loads of complicated stuff about 🎥📽🎞 already, I reckon they’d be 😁 to have you
Libi: I’ll take an IOU on a commission instead 🖼
Libi: 😘
Libi: Definitely going to look into it, I’ll have to see what hours they’d allow… nan and grandad might not be cool with the late shift a cinema allows for
Bobby: they might if J or J agree to pick you up
Bobby: but either way we’ve got a deal 🌹 not included
Libi: I could ask
Libi: but I don’t wanna put them out either
Libi: anyway, what am I even worrying about, it’s not like it’s happening yet, if at all 🤨🙄
Libi: Play hysteria is real
Bobby: by the time it is maybe you’ll let me pick you up 🚗
Libi: Maybe… 😱😜
Libi: Seems crazy you aren’t still 6 sometimes
Bobby: 😲!!!
Bobby: You must mean that I’m SO 🤴🗡🐲
Libi: Of course
Libi: You know I didn’t mean anything bad by it
Bobby: I 💭 you meant if we were still 6 we could do our own play with no adults telling us how
Libi: That is an 💭
Bobby: one that’s keeping us up
[a pause for realisation when she hasn’t replied that she’s fallen asleep lol]
Bobby: * me anyway 😂
Bobby: night Libs

The 100 rewatch: 1x01 Pilot
I’m a new fan of The 100, who first binged it last year, August to November. This is my first full rewatch of the show. I was planning to start it anyway and finish it before the season 6 premiere on April 30, and when I saw that Fox Serbia was airing a rerun (Monday to Friday, 40 min. after midnight, with repeats the next day), starting on 1st February, it was a great opportunity to start my rewatch in HDTV on my beautiful new TV. I decided to do write-ups and tag other fans on SpoilerTV website, as I did when I was first watching the show. But my posts turned into full blown essays. So, finally, after over a week, I’ve realized: Why don’t I post them on my Tumblr blog, too? I’ll copy my write-ups of the first 7 episodes, and then I’ll post my rewatch posts after I watch each episode. (The next one, 1x08, is on Monday’Tuesday.)
Spoilers below for all 5 seasons of the show. I go of on a tangents and make a lot of references to future events.
Rating: I'd give the Pilot 4/10, maybe 4.5/10 if I'm generous.
Episode opens on Clarke's voiceover. The first mention of how Ark came to be. There were "12 nations" with stations in the beginning, 97 years earlier, and the current Ark is "one station forged from the many". Which begs some questions: how did they manage to make everyone on the Ark speak English (and in American accents), why are they so culturally uniform? Did they try to do it by force? And why did big powers like China and Russia go along with it? But world-building has never been this show's strength.
The opening scene shows Clarke drawing, and focuses on her father's watch. Some facts I had forgotten - the cells on the Ark were called "Skybox". Clarke says she is turning 18 in a month. This means she turned 18 sometime in late season 1 and was about 18 and a half year old in season 4. In season 5, she should be about 24 and a half year old.
Abby is the first other major character to appear. Abby to Clarke "Your instincts will tell you to take care of everyone else first, like your father", stressing that this is the similarity between Clarke and Jake. "I can't lose you, too, I love you so much"
First appearance of Jaha - on the video played to the Delinquents on the dropship. The kids comment: "your dad's a dick, Wells". Yes, he is. "If we knew for sure the Earth was survivable, we would send others. You are being sent down because your crimes have made you expendable". Oh god, he's awful. He became a more enjoyable character in season 4, just because of his interactions with other characters, but he's always been an a-hole.
Jaha tells the kids to go to Mount Weather, explains what it is and that it has supplies for about 300 people to survive for 2 years. I had completely forgotten that there were so many Mount Weather references. This was clearly a storyline that was planned from the beginning.
The first casualties on the show - 2 Delinquents who imitated Finn's stupid behavior on the dropship, but, unlike him, were killed when the ship crash-landed.
When they land, it turns out they landed on a wrong mountain, instead of Mount Weather, due to a technical error. Who knew that this was the luckiest thing that ever happened to them?
Clarke and Wells later insist that the kids should go to MW ASAP and find supplies. Every time someone in the episode talks about Mount Weather and says things like "We have to find Mount Weather to survive", it's so ironic now. No, you need to run as far from Mount Weather as possible. Run, run, fast, and don't turn back.
At the end of the episode, they try to cross the river, and Jasper even finds a Mount Weather sign. In retrospect, they are so lucky they did not go through with it, after Jasper got speared, but who was to know?
Kane looks so young compared to his season 5 self. And it's funny to see early Kane, who was kind of a bad guy. He's so pessimistic and insisting on ruthless solutions as necessary, a total opposite of where his views end up later. But the one consistent trait is that he's always been so stubborn about sticking to whatever course of action he thinks is best, and even naive about it. At this point, he's all about sticking to the rules.
And here's Shumway, who seems to want the culling to happen even more than Kane does. I never understood what the supposed difference in policy was between Diana and Jaha. Diana was claiming to be fighting for the rights of the underprivileged? But Shumway is working for her, and wants the culling to happen, Jaha and Kane are intending for the culling to happen... What's the difference? They're all the same.
Shumway is also the one to tell Kane about Bellamy's shooting of Jaha - and Kane says they have a traitor. Shumway close-up, he says nothing. Foreshadowing.
Scene between Kane and Abby near the end of the episode. Kane says he's the only one willing to do what needs to be done so they survive. Abby: "That's the difference between us, Kane. I choose to make sure we deserve to stay alive."
Ironic how they'll end up switching positions during the Dark Year. But then Abby starts hating herself over what she has become.
The thing I liked best about the Pilot the first time was that it was really good at explaining the premise and getting a lot of info across, without clunky exposition.
Oh god, about half of the Pilot was sooo cheesy. Most of the scenes with kids on Earth are so teen-soapy. That's why I initially preferred the stuff on the Ark (but then a few episodes later, I felt the exact opposite). Especially 90% of Octavia's lines in the Pilot are so cringey,I remember I only found it to be 'just OK' at the time I first watched it, good enough to keep watching, but I only got hooked around 1x05 when it started losing most of its CWness. But now, after having seen the rest of the show, the tone is so weird - so teen-soapy. I guess the first time, I expected the show to be like that, because of the channel it's on - a teen-soap take on post-apocalyptic SciFi. The pop songs and the scenes with kids enjoying the Earth were so corny but I guess they were meant to be, to make the contrast bigger when something bad suddenly happens, like Jasper getting speared at the end of the episode. Or that mutant deer, that was a good scene.
Funny that we never get to see any of the scary nature stuff again. What happened to the man-eating water snake? The show pretty much forgets all of that later, because we get human antagonists on Earth.
I also probably blanked out a lot of the cheesy teen-soapy stuff the first time, because I wasn't interested, since I didn't even remember some of it. All the potential pairings and flirtations that went nowhere now seem so random and funny. They were clearly just throwing anything to the wall to see what sticks. Who remembers that Octavia used to have a thing for Finn in the Pilot and said "Finn is mine" to Clarke, and he briefly flirted with her? Then there was Jasper's crush on Octavia, but that one actually did last a bit longer in season 1. The show really seemed to be trying to make Finn the main heartthrob.
Of course, Finn's main interest was flirting with Clarke non-stop and following her around all the time. The fact he started hitting on her immediately in the dropship really makes him look bad now (whether or not that was initially intended - since they probably still hadn't planned for Raven's character to exist.)
And look, here's Kelly Hu as Kane's girlfriend/Abby's best friend, who was clearly supposed to be one of the mains, and then completely disappeared without explanation after the Pilot.
Kelly Hu was even in the main credits for the Pilot, right after Bob Morley, who was credited 6th - after Eliza and Paige and Thomas McDonnel and Eli Goree and after Marie. Which pretty much fits their screentime in the Plot. I doubt they were expecting Bellamy to become the male lead, Finn and Wells were clearly treated as the male leads.
Speaking of Bellamy - AARGH, that terrible slicked-back hair! My eyes, my eyes!!!
I remember now why I had such mixed feelings about him in the Pilot, unlike others who said they hated him. I mean, he was clearly meant to be seen as an antagonist at this point, but most of the things he says about the privileged and the elite on the Ark is true. I still think that the Ark leaders were the first villains introduced on the show. They sucked. Even if we weren't supposed to see them as villains, and even if some of them later changed and developed (Kane).
I wasn't sure how much of what Bellamy said was just him using that rhetoric to manipulate the kids. but the first time he says "let the privileged do something for a change", he said it before he learned about the wristbands. So, some of that anger was sincere. (And it was certainly justified.) A bit later we see Bellamy listening carefully and formulating a plan as Clarke is explaining to the kids that the wristbands are transmitting their life signs to the Ark.
I don't know where the later idea of Bellamy as a completely hotheaded guy who can't act in a strategic or manipulative comes from. One of the first things we saw him do in the show was manipulate a bunch of younger people into something that would help him not get caught and executed by the Ark leaders, so he could stay and protect his sister. That's what he's doing for the fist few episodes.
The first kids he convinces to take the wristbands off and make others do the same are Murphy and John Mbege. It's funny that Mbege's role was at this point almost as big as Murphy's. We still haven't seen Harper or Miller.
So many scenes of conflict between Bellamy and Wells in this episode. It seems like they probably meant for that dynamic to be an important one going forward, with the two of them as foils.
"See you on the other side". Oh, god. Those lines will never be the same. It's actually Finn who said it first when he was about to cross the river by rope, but then Jasper went first to impress Octavia, and said that line for the first time.
And here comes the spear. "We are not alone". Well, duh. But Clarke had to say that line for a very Lost-like ending to the Pilot.
Geez, I can see how this bunch of clueless, silly kids with no weapons, fooling around, looked like such a dangerous invading force to the Grounders who saw them. Yes, the season 5 comparison between them and the heavily armed mass murderers from Eligius who immediately tried to kill the first people they ran across, was soooo apt... *sigh*.

The Last Jedi! Review! Opinions!
I haven’t had a chance to really write about the movie due to travel, etc., but here I am now. I’ve watched the movie four times now and will probably go see it in the cinema again!
Spoilers below!
The midnight experience
I saw the movie at midnight. I was cosplaying Kylo and my sister was cosplaying Rey. There were a few other people dressed up too, including a guy I know who was cosplaying Chewy and was like “Hey!!” to me when I was in the line for drinks, and I was like “??? I don’t know who you are because you’re in a mask???” and he was like “It’s me!” and I’m like “???” and he’s like “Chris!” and I’m like “oohhhh!” and we hugged.
I was visiting my old grad school town which is kind of a small place, so I also saw a girl I know from Taekwon-Do, and we were in the line next to the owner of a Japanese restaurant we used to go to all the time when we lived there. He was there with his daughter and recognised us immediately. Then I saw another friend as well, who had taken a photo of me from across the lobby, thinking that I was my own doppelganger because he thought I was in the UK and not in town.
My sister and I engaged in shenanigans with our lightsabers and took photos and videos. Lots of people photographed us as well. They filled up the whole theater (6 cinemas). The atmosphere was great. The audience was lively, and I think a good time was had. Unfortunately, it was cooking in the theater and I was wearing full Kylo regalia, sans helmet. I was too warm.
The film
As soon as “Star Wars” appeared on the screen, everyone clapped. I realised that I forgot to put my glasses on, and scrambled to find them in the dark during the first few minutes!
Notable observations and things throughout the movie:
I thought the Hux prank call was overly cheesy for an opening. I appreciated the jab at Hux’s mother, but the scene was too cringey for my liking.
The cinematography! Holy shit, the cinematography!
I practically jizzed in my pants when the Supremacy appeared. It comes out of hyperspace at the top of the screen, and it really feels like it’s right over your head.
I lived in fear for Hux’s life for the ENTIRE MOVIE. Any scene could have been his last, and I was terrified.
Snoke ripping into Kylo and telling him that his mask was stupid.
Luke and Rey on the island and Rey trashing everything <3
When Luke milked that creature, I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. If anyone would have told me that TLJ would include a lactation scene, I would never have believed it. Expect the unexpected, indeed.
Rey reaching out with her arm when Luke says “reach out”.
“Wipe that nervous expression off your face, 3PO!”
Lots of excellent dialogue. So many good quotes.
I thought the Leia flying through space scene was too cheesy.
Chewy spit-roasting porgs XD
Force Skyping. I absolutely loved this. I found Rey gaining sympathy for Kylo believable. He remained his usual self-absorbed self throughout the encounters.
TIDDIES! THANK YOU, RIAN!!!
There were a lot of gasps from the audience when the tiddies appeared.
I’m of two minds about Luke’s confrontation with Ben. Was it in line with Luke as a character? My interpretation was that it was Snoke’s hold on Ben that terrified Luke so much and caused him to ignite his lightsaber on impulse. I can live with that. I don’t think Luke would have turned on Ben otherwise.
Rey calling Kylo “Ben”.
Return of the Jedi music from the Luke/Vader/Palpatine scene in the Rey/Kylo/Snoke scene.
HOOOLY SHIIIIIT I didn’t expect Kylo to kill Snoke. I loved it!
Kylo and Rey fighting together was absolutely fucking amazing. Rey shouting while fighting, all of it! Full credit to Daisy. She’s amazing!!
I thought that maybe Kylo was slightly more chill during this movie, but then he lost his shit when Rey rejected him, and it was glorious.
Hux showing up in the throne room and reaching for his gun, then stealthily un-reaching for it was spectacular. The theater roared with laughter. Brilliant scene.
Kylo lying to Hux about who killed Snoke XD
I FELT SORRY FOR HUX BEING FORCE-CHOKED.
Supreme Leader Kylo Ren.
Rose is the sweetest. However, some of her lines were too good and kind of cheesy.
While I liked the idea of Rose and Finn going undercover, i thought the Canto Bight quest was a bit contrived. However, I enjoyed BB-8 and DJ teaming up. “What’s your story, roundy?”
Overall, I felt like the Canto Bight section was there to overtly tell the audience that weapons dealers are bad and people who profit off of war are bad with an obvious nudge nudge to our present day situation. It’s a direct reflection of aspects of the real life military industrial complex, which I don’t think is a bad thing to portray, but it felt too in-your-face to me.
Unpopular opinion? I liked DJ.
The ironing droids made me crack up.
Hux is a pipsqueak noodle, so it makes sense that all he can do is slap Finn across the face.
Why so little BB-H8???
Holdo lightspeeding the ship into the Supremacy. Holy fuck. Most. Beautiful. Space. Explosion. EVER.
Finn was amazing throughout.
Poe was a dick! He meant well, but everything got even more screwed up by the infiltration plan.
Yoda is a little shit. Rey had the books already when he burnt the place down!! And he didn’t tell Luke!!
BB-8 saved the day???
Crait was so pretty.
“They hate that ship!”
Kylo and Hux co-commanding. All of their interactions were a gift. Though I didn’t like Hux being Force-thrown!!
I thought Finn was gonna die and I was freaking out!
I don’t know how I feel about this kiss? Rose was enamored with Finn from the start, so I’m not surprised, but Finn sure was!
I lost my shit when Luke appeared. I didn’t pick up all the hints that he was an apparition until Kylo slashed him with his lightsaber and nothing happened. I was hands-down wowed when the reveal happened.
Hux’s glare at Kylo at the end.
Rey lifting rocks. i was like, “YOU GO, GIRL!!”
Overall, I loved the movie. I was a ball of nerves during my first viewing, both from two years of built-up anticipation, and also fear for Hux’s safety! On top of that, the pacing of the movie was too frantic for my liking. I was on the edge of my seat for the entire fucking movie. I watched it again the next morning, and it was way better on the second viewing. I could actually sit back and enjoy it!
Everyone’s acting was phenomenal! Kylo Ren wouldn’t work as a character without Adam Driver. Daisy was amazing!! The contrast between her portrayal of vulnerability after her cave experience to raw aggression when she’s fighting is quite a feat. I’m in total awe. Her and Adam work so well. Domhnall was great. Carrie was brilliant. The whole cast is really superb.
Despite liking the movie, there are things I didn’t like. A little too much cringey humour, a bit too much in-your-face morals in the casino bit (even if I agreed with them, I didn’t like the presentation). They essentially crammed together The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi (for better or for worse!), leaving a total unknown for the next movie. I’m looking forward to it! There are so many scenes and lines I loved, and so many great interactions between the characters that it’s a movie I can watch over and over, just like I did with the original trilogy as a kid.
Okay, but what about kylux??
I feel sad that Kylo pushed Hux around so much! A lot of my old “secretly dating” headcanons don’t really apply in light of this, at least not in the context of a somewhat healthy relationship. However, there is a lot of new material to fuel my kylux fires, with angst on the menu!
The verdict? Onwards!

MAY WRAP-UP
This month, I think I spent way too much time in booktube that my attention for a certain book quickly goes to another one. I’m quite mad at myself because I had not been consistent of my May TBR. Even so, I’m still pretty proud of myself because I’ve read more than what I expected to read. Also, I would say there were books that disappointed me this month but there were some that I quickly rated as 5 stars and made me so emotional.
So here are the books that I’ve read for the month of May.
NEW ADULT/ADULT ROMANCE
To Love Jason Thorn by Ella Maise (2/5)
The story is told by POV’s main characters, Olive and Jason. Olive is an indie author whose book will be adapted into a movie. She then finds out that the actor who will be playing the male protagonist is her brother’s childhood bestfriend/ her childhood crush and first love, Jason.
I honestly love the childhood crush and second chance romance trope on this book but it was getting bad and bad as I continue to read. I even prepared myself to be ready for a major twist or revelation but I was just disappointed. It felt like there was no real and impressive conflict on their relationship. I enjoyed the first few chapters and maybe towards the first half but it just got really crappy. There were cringey love scenes and sometimes the characters were being dumb that it is so frustrating.
(P.s. Every time Jason calls Olive “little one”, I cringe and I remember Thanos from Avengers lol.)
The Guy on the Right by Kate Stewart (3.5/5)
This is a friends to lovers novel. Main characters are Theo and Laney. Theo is quite shy and a reserved person. He lives in a house with Troy, the popular playboy roommate. He calls himself as “the guy on the right” because Troy always takes the spotlight and many girls go after him. He met Laney on a party. She, on the other hand is the quirky, outspoken and hardworking country girl. They became close, started a social media page and they eventually fell in love with each other.
This is my first new adult book ever. I’m usually into young adult and adult books so it was a huge step for me to explore this genre and gladly I enjoyed this book and now I’m more interested to read other new adult books. The storyline was good. I gave it only 3.5 stars because it was just an okay read for me. I love the elements of music and social media. The characters were also charming in their own ways. And you’ll get quotations called Grannism every end of a chapter. Some were really relatable.
Read my full review:
The Naked Truth by Vi Keeland (4/5)
The book is all about a second chance romance. Layla, a lawyer, was asked to do the pitch for a prospect client to their law firm. She didn’t know that the client she’s gonna impress was Gray, her ex who just got out of prison. Gray want Layla back and he wants to clear all the misunderstanding and explain to her why he had to lie to her.
I didn’t expect to love this book. I love the shift of timelines from present to the past. I thought that it will be just full of steamy scenes but the plot was amazing. The twists and turns were impressive. There’s one that really struck me and I literally screamed with that revelation. It was a major drama I didn’t see coming. I think people who love K-Drama (like me) would like this book. I also love how the author portrayed the aspects of family, marriage as well as death. The lawyer-prisoner romance was also interesting. It is my first time reading that kind of trope. My only issue with this book is Layla being sometimes annoying with her petty arguments.
The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren (5/5)
Due to food poisoning, Olive’s twin sister and Ethan’s brother can’t make it to their honeymoon in Maui. Thus, Olive and Ethan were asked to take their places. The problem is, Olive and Ethan do not get along very well. They pretty much hate each other’s guts but the two need to work together and act as newly married couple. Only, they didn’t realize that this free vacation is changing their lives.
This was an easy 5 stars for me. I enjoyed this book so much because it was atmospheric. It felt like I was on the beach myself because of how engaging the story was. The enemy to lovers and fake marriage/relationship tropes were done beautifully. I was easily hooked into the story and the twists were just freaking good. Olive and Ethan’s chemistry is so strong. Their banters were very fun. I just love love love this book.
Read my full review:
Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover (5/5)
The story revolves around Tate and Miles. Tate is a nurse who has no time for love and Miles is a pilot who doesn’t want to love again. Their first meeting was not great but their paths always cross because he’s her new neighbor and he’s her brother’s friend and co-pilot. Physical attraction grew between them and they can’t put aside their desires so they had some sort of friends with benefits relationship. But things get really bad because they are slowly breaking their own rules.
This is officially one of my favorite books of all time. Everything in this book is just perfect. I kind of judged this book very wrongly 2 years ago when I first tried to read this because I thought it will be just about sex and at that time my smut level on books was really low. But, I decided to read it again out of a whim at freaking midnight. I looked past through the love scenes (though idk I find it dreamy and romantic now) and focused on the story, and swear, I was blown away. I never thought that I would cry so badly again over a book.
Read my full review:
FANTASY
A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas (2/5)
This is somewhat a Beauty and the Beast retelling. Feyre, a normal mortal girl, killed a Faerie (a magical creature) while she was hunting for food. She was punished to live in a High Fae’s manor to pay for the life she had taken and she ends up falling in love with Tamlin, her captor who can shapeshift and who wears a crappy mask.
I really want to love this book. Some people told me to don’t stop reading because it will get good. But sadly, I just did not like it (Sorry! ). The writing is atmospheric though, I admired it at first. However, as I go on, the description of the settings or for the other things were too much and I think did not necessarily affect the situation at hand. Sometimes, it was just too flowery and over with metaphors. Feyre and Tamlin as characters were not effective, their chemistry is “meh”. There were cringey lines especially on the love scenes. The plot twists were not hard for me to predict. I think this book was not just for me to read. Though, I’ve been told that the sequel is the best among the series so I might give it a shot soon.
The Grisha Trilogy by Leigh Bardugo
Shadow & Bone (3/5)
Siege & Storm (3/5)
Ruin & Rising (2/5)
Alina had discovered her unique powers to summon light when they were assigned to cross the Shadow Fold. It’s a forsaken place of impenetrable darkness with flesh eating monsters. Leaving Mal, her childhood bestfriend and the guy that she also likes, she was sent to the Little Palace to work with the magical elites called Grisha in hopes that she could destroy the fold and unite Ravka. While working to hone her powers, she finds herself developing feelings for The Darkling, the mysterious and attractive as hell leader of Grisha. On her journey to destroy the Shadow Fold, she encountered many challenges, revelations and truth about the people around her.
I really had high expectations for this series because I love the author and her Six of Crows duology. But I was again, disappointed. It’s not that it was that bad, it was not just as great as I expected it to be. I have a love and hate relationship with this series. The first book was good. The build up of the story was beautifully done. I love the magical system and the characters were intriguing, but only at first. I understand why the Darkling is hyped up till now because he is absolutely mysterious and hot (plus Ben Barnes will be playing the role for the Netflix adaptation). Revealing Alina’s power as well as the Darkling’s was very cool. The second book is where the Darkling gets literally dark. Even though this was more tensed because of the twists, I enjoyed and laughed many times than the first book because of Nikolai. He’s not the main character of this series but its funny because I like him the most. Scratch that. I love him. The third book was just so disappointing. I enjoyed the side characters’ romance more and the twists were not that impressive. And the ending? Worst. I think there’s one common denominator of all the things that I didn’t like in this series, and that is Alina being a typical weak female protagonist. She is just annoying sometimes, too dependent of the other characters and does weak and petty arguments.
Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo (5/5)
This is the sequel of the Six of Crows duology. Kaz and his crew did the heist they were asked to do but they had to face their consequences and take down the real enemy. As much as I’m excited to tell you more about the plot, I won’t go any further because I don’t want to spoil anything.
I absolutely love the first book and I was not disappointed with this one. This is my best fantasy reads so far. I fell in love more with Kaz, Inej, Matthias, Niña, Wylan and Jesper. They are just freaking amazing. The character development was done so good. The plot twists are super amazing and I got fooled many times. Also, the ending is so satisfying. I have to admit, I enjoyed this duology more than The Grisha Trilogy.

YOUNG ADULT CONTEMPORARY
10 Blind Dates by Ashley Elston (4/5)
We follow Sophie’s journey towards healing her broken heart. Her Grandma decided to set up her in blind dates and the guys he’ll be dating are chosen by some of her family members. So, she went onto these days, in hopes to forget her ex-boyfriend. But things get complicated. Her ex wants her back but the feelings she had for an old friend is growing back.
If you’re looking for something that is light, cute and a quick read, this is the book for you. The blind dating thing was just very cute. I never expected to like it, but it was just interesting and each date was fun in their own ways. I also love the essence of family and friendship on this book. As a person who grew up in a family-oriented household, I can relate so much of the main character.
Read my full review:
They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera (5/5)
In this world, there’s this system called Death Cast. They call people to give them an alert that they’re gonna die on that day. No when and how but only the information that on that day that you are called, it’s your time to say goodbye to the world. Mateo had been always paranoid about the time that he will receive the call. So, when Death Cast called him, he had been more paranoid than ever. Then, he met Rufus, who’s also gonna die that day, through The Last Friend app. Despite the two having very different attitude towards accepting their death, they decided to spend their last day together.
This is the kind of book that is very hard to put down. The title itself is already very intriguing. All the time I was reading this, I can’t help but to be anxious because knowing anytime soon, Rufus and Mateo are gonna die. I had a lot of theories on how they would die but it was no where near. The narration is very deceiving which I love. The message of this book is also very touching plus the characters are very relatable and I can’t help to put myself in their shoes. I know it is unpleasant to think about death especially these times but this book just made me realize things about life and it made me reflect and ask myself on how I’ve been living my life so far. I love this book so much that it is one of my best reads for this year and I might make a full review for this one.
So those were all the books that I've read for the month of May. For June, I've been thinking to read genres that I don't usually read such as msytery and thrillers. I hope I would be consistent on my next month's TBR.
Thank you for reading. I hope some of the books caught your interest. Till my next post ❤

My Experiences with Living with Ghosties & Spirits♫♥
So I’m pretty sure most of you know that I do a little Spiritwork, and I let certain spirits into my home. Well I’m going to share some of my experiences today that involve the ghosts!☻
Shadow Man
--So some of my older followers, or people who follow me on Instagram, probably know this story. My story even got published in the 2016 issue of the Halloween special Witch Way Magazine. I should’ve bought the issue, but I didn’t have money at the time... Lol. Anyways, to the story.
So when I was a very new witchling, I decided I wanted a friendly ghost in my home. (Yes, like Casper tbh...I was naive lmao.) Well, it didn’t turn out the way I planned. I don’t know where the original spell is that I used to let spirits into my home, but it didn’t work the way I planned it to. At first, for a couple weeks, everything seemed the same, and quite boring. Well, after a while, I guess something just showed up. I think the first time I saw it was when I was going up the sitars to my room, down the hallway (The way the second floor is set up, is the stairs lead straight to a hallway, which is about ten feet long, right into my parents room. There’s a spare room to the left of the hallway. My room is next to the staircase, which is behind the stairs. My room is right next to the bathroom and 2 closets, and under the attic. This is important, I promise .) and I saw a short, muscular shadow. The hallway is naturally dark, even with the hall light on. At first I thought it was the trick of the light but...still creepy either way. For a little bit I didn’t see much, except maybe a black spot out of the corner of my eye every so often. Since I’m still a teen, I obviously still live with my parents. My mom stays at home, so she would notice more things then my dad. She said the same thing would happen for her. For a little bit, we chalked up the spots we saw as faeries or pixies we somehow angered, since things would go missing and my mother would always get weird knots in her hair. Anyways, one night she told me that really late, I believe way after midnight, she saw a tall-ish figure standing by her closet (which is at the corner of her room.) She actually just rolled over and went back to sleep, since to her it didn’t feel evil. All the while, I would hear noises in the attic, and one time I even heard 3 knocks on my window. (Note; like I said, my room is on the second floor. There’s nothing around to make that noise. No tree branches or wires. Even my cat heard it.) And, mind you, all of this happened really late in the night. (Back then , I was a night owl.) One of the last experiences with the Shadow Man, was when it was either around 2 or 3 a.m. where I really needed to pee and get some water. Well, I went out of my room to go to the bathroom (everyone was asleep at this time) and I looked to my right (where the staircase is) and a friGGIN TOP OF THIS HEAD WAS WALKING UP THE STAIRS, NO JOKE. Like, any, young teenaged girl would do that’s shitting bricks, I ran to my room, slammed the door and started crying for my mom (it was scary lmao. I have major anxiety, and it was worse back then.) I just knew it wasn’t a human being because....fuck that who in their right mind would do that, (okay I shouldn’t ask that question..) but it was just PITCH BLACK. Eventually my mom came to my room, not knowing what was going on. After I calmed down a little I told her what happened, and her and I agreed I would get rid of it. She helped me protect my room, so that thing wouldn’t bother me. She laid down a salt line at my door and light a white candle. Anyways, the next day I was home alone and decided to get rid of it. So I started doing my stupid cleansing method, (which used to be me wearing an ugly outfit and ringing a bell. It was just cringey.) and I had almost fully cleansed the downstairs. Well, I was in the dining room, cleansing that area, where my cat was sleeping. Then all of the sudden, friggin weird-ass noises came from upstairs. My cat jolted awake and was staring at the staircase. Like any sensible person would do, I said “fuck that” and retreated to the safety of the living room. The next day, my mother was staying home, so I finally decided to stop being bat-shit scared and fully cleanse the house. I had my bell and a sage bundle, (I don’t use sage anymore. I hate the smell of it, so no one send hateful stuff in my inbox please lol.) and went through every room. It never came back. (I’ll post pictures of the layout of the upstairs, so you an understand where this all happened.)
Sax; the Ouija board Child
--As you can tell by my Blog title, “Ouija board obsessed witch”, I love ouija boards, lol. Well, for a while I only had a homemade one. Possibly only one of the two good readings I had with it, was with a 6 year old (I believe it was a girl) named Sax. Of course we didn’t have a full-out intense conversation with her, since she was only a child, but she gave some interesting answers. We put the answers in my father’s phone, so I can’t get to them right now (he’s at work. I’ll maybe post what she said later.) We tried to look up what they meant, but couldn’t find much. Overall, it was just a nice experience to talk to her, but very sad at the same time, since she was so young. She wouldn’t tell us how she died, but we know she died around the 40s; don’t know the era, though. Although I didn’t live with this spirit, we still used the homemade ouija board in my house, so it kinda relates lol.
“N” , my Ouija board Spirit companion
--So I actually do have a spirit companion, who I first contacted on my homemade Ouija board. We couldn’t understand his actual name, and he changed it a few times (probably due to the board being homemade on a piece of paper, it doesn’t have the same energy as a real board.), so I just call him N, and he said he was fine with it. I haven’t talked to him in a long time, but I’m hoping he’s still here, since I’m planning on making him my own recipe of a Spirit cake, and leave it as an offering for him, and talk to him on my new (and actual) Ouija board. When I first contacted him, he didn’t say how long he was going to stay. But last week, my whole family and I used the ouija board and contacted a spirit (Which we called Fox, since we actually couldn’t pronounce his name.) and he said that N was still here, along with 1-2 other spirits (all the other spirits we contacted said the same thing.) For a while I could feel him following me a lot around the house. Although I didn’t feel him as much when I banished everything from my room and set up wards (I don’t like things in my room. I let some things stay in there before, and it just resulted in me getting nightmares and seeing them at night. I’m pretty sure it was N, but I can’t fully remember.)
Living with 3 Spirits Today
--I do not, under any circumstances, let anything evil into my home. So all the spirits are good, as it was also reassured by multiple spirits as well. I haven’t been able to talk to all of them yet, but I hope I can soon. They all seem pretty active and friendly. They make the most noises when it’s night time, or when I’m alone in the house (usually when my senses are on hyperdrive...thanks anxiety!). They all seem to like different places and do different things, though. This one seems to like the bathroom area, especially the tub, when the shower curtain is covering one spot of it. You’ll quickly see a dark blog behind the shower curtain, and then see nothing. I’ll even walk back a couple steps, and walk back in again and see nothing. This one also just seems to like hiding in general, since it seems to like to peek behind corners. (Call me crazy, but I’m telling you what I see lol.) Another one seems to be pretty...touchy? Especially about your legs. Wearing shorts? Boom you’ll feel slight breezes on your legs. Or the hair growing on your calves will feel funny. It’s an odd sensation lol. And I believe this is N, since it just feels like something he would do; but sometimes I’ll feel kind of like a breath in my ear. But also when your ears pop. It’s hard to explain. Like, someone blew a lot of air right into your ear canal. And one of them, I’m not sure who, likes to peek into my door at night. I have to keep it half way closed, because my cat usually sleeps with me at night, and then the other one sometimes want to cuddle as well. Both are noisy if you don’t let them in. One meows and the other scratches at the door. Anyways, you’ll also hear noises at night. They’re just pretty active ghosts, that probably want to scare me lol. They probs just want their presence to be known, and that’s fine! And, like I said before, even though I don’t let spirits in my room, I think N goes in there at times with me...he just has a certain kind of energy to him. I’m not going to go into too much detail, but we think he used to be a witch from maybe the 1600′s, or somewhere along there.
Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed reading these! If you have any experiences, feel free to send me them, either in my inbox, or PM them! I absolutely love scary and spooky stuff, and my blog is judge-free to that kinds of things. Love and Light, Amaryllis♥~
