#I do think Emmet would be the type to tell you fun facts about whatever train car you are riding with him that day if you ask

[ratwithhands]

Got dragged to two (2!!) parties and had to wait until I got home so I could stay up and finish this. So verrry tired.

Anyways, here's Emmet at Anville taking pictures of the turntable from the bridge. Thought I'd give him a typical railfan hobby, so here he is doing train photography. I heard that photographer railfans in Japan are called Toritetsu so ig that could be a descriptor? Homeboy just likes getting their good angles to look at later. Hope you like it and see you later.

Twins reaction to their S/O being a subway master?

XD lmao like they became the grey Subway master in multi battles so they have an excuse to use their full team

Oof. Not gonna lie, but I had to look up what “Multi Battles” were since there’s the Single Battles and the Double Battles. And the Super ones. ;w;

From what I got, Ingo prioritizes in Single Battles; it’s just like regular Pokemon battles (trainers are only allowed three Pokemons), Emmet prioritizes in Double Battles; it’s just having two Pokemons on your team fighting the two opposing Pokemons (trainers are only allowed four Pokemons), and those two do Multi Battles; it's similar to Double Battles, but instead you have someone beside you to fight against two other trainers, everyone gets out one Pokemon and attempt to work as a team to win (each trainer is only allowed two Pokemons). And the Super ones are just more difficult.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa- I still didn’t play Pokemon Black 2 fully yet (I don't even know what I'm doing in the game-), so I could be wrong on this and just making an ass of myself again- ;w;

Plus, I sorta wrote a few things that goes with my AU a bit (at least for the Sordward and Shielbert part). Since we’re sort of talking about the SwSh twins and the Subway Masters meeting each other, if their s/o is also a Subway Master.

Sordward

Well, he doesn’t really get the battle stuff in the subway much. He might’ve only tried it a few times with his younger brother. And that’s it. I mean, it’s fun. But he can think of other things to do.

Don’t get me wrong, he respects the shit out of you and the two other Subway Masters. Since it’s pretty interesting how this battle system works in general (it's just that his younger brother is more fascinated by this than him, but whatever).

And he’ll mostly just hang around the subway with either you or Emmet. Since you two seem to tolerate his existence. Ingo can’t even tolerate him for 2 seconds. And he would try to fight you… But you only do Multi Battles.

Not that he refuses to enter the Multi Battles, he entered it with his younger brother at times as mentioned before. It’s just that it’s sort of difficult when they both have a lot of steel-types on their team in general.

He might ask you questions about the subway system, since he doesn’t really know much about it in general and he’s a tad bit curious about it. Plus, it sort of gave him an excuse to be around you.

Shielbert

He’s very intrigued by the subway and the Subway Masters in general. Granted, he might’ve not been aware of the subway once he entered it (or when he arrived in Unova). But he soon got the gist of it.

He might’ve tried a few Subway Battles, even some with his older brother. But he never bothered going too far since his team kinda sucks fuck-

But once he heard about you being a Subway Master along with Emmet and Ingo, he became very fascinated with that fact and he respects the shit out of you guys. And yeah, they’ll be times when he just chills out with either you or Ingo on the subway. Since you two are actually nice to him. Well, Ingo is pretty intimidating, but still.

But it’s kinda unlikely that he’ll even encounter you on the Multi Battles, since he and his older brother sucks fuck at this. So unless Emmet gives them a “get out of jail” free card to skip everything just to encounter you, the chances are low. But he’s trying his best.

Even if he were to fight you alongside his older brother. You’d beat their ass, which it’s cool. By the way, he might ask if he can accompany you while you're conducting the subway. I mean, if he’s even allowed to.

Emmet

Okay, so he kinda thought that it was only him and Ingo who were the Subway Masters… Subway Bosses…? Bah, you get the point. So even you having that position is questionable.

He can only think that you either broke in here or Ingo gave you that position without telling him. Which he’d never do... But hey, you’re here now for some reason. Welcome aboard. :)

He doesn’t really have a problem if you use your whole team during Multi Battles. Granted, it’ll be unfair for the challengers and you’re supposed to have at least two Pokemons along with your partner, but it’s fun to make people sad sometimes-

By the way, on the topic of “needing a partner in Multi Battles”, he’ll probably try his best to fight beside you on the Multi Battle things. Just because. Or you guys could Naruto run all over the place-

It’s likely that he’ll hang out with you 24/7. Since you’re apparently a Subway Master now, so you’re always there at work like he is. Compared to a trainer who comes for 3 minutes and leaves.

Ingo

… Alright, last time he checked, it was only him and Emmet who were Subway Masters (or Subway Bosses, whatever). I mean, sure, they could make someone a Subway Master like them, but why would they do that?

So it’s either that you barged in and you self-proclaimed yourself as a Subway Master, or Emmet gave you the privilege to become a Subway Master without his permission.

Plus, you aren’t exactly allowed to use your “entire team” in Multi Battles since you’ll either be partnered with him or Emmet in there. And trainers are only allowed to have at least two Pokemons. If we go by the game logic, but whatever. You could be the secret raid boss for all he knows.

Actually, now that you’re here, there'll be times when he asks if you can join him for a walk or join a simple subway ride. For the fun of it, of course. Or talk about battle strategies because that’s pog.

It’s sort of likely that he’ll let you be in charge if something bad happens and he isn’t around to fix it, depending how high your IQ is since you could be the same disaster s/o that tortures him. Last time he disappeared, Emmet nearly cried because well… his brother disappeared with zero explanation.

🤩/💞 + 🧠 (the headcanon being for one you picked for the favorite/comfort character) and also 🥺 and ✨ (sorry if that's too many at once, you don't have to do all of them if you don't want to)

I LOVE TO ANSWER MULTIPLE ONES, DO NOT WORRY!!!! Like if you just sent them all?? Maybe a lil too much 😂 otherwise, absolutely no biggie!!!

Since Legends Arceus is what I'm currently writing for, these will all be PLA related. (Shockingly, I have written for other fandoms in the past! 😂)

🤩 Who is your favorite character to write?

TBQH I am fond of JtR Dawn and Akari. I love Dawn's reckless bullshit and Akari developing a bit more backbone. I feel a bit more freedom writing them, like there's less expectations on getting people's perceptions of them correct, so they tend to come easier.

Fire at Will Akari is almost in first, just because I wrote her first and therefore I adore her most. There is an entire PLA playthrough story in my head, but I've said it before and I'll say it again- that story would absolutely end up being over 100k words and I don't know if I have the time, dedication, and ability for that! Maybe one day...

💞 Who's your comfort character?

Tossup between Akari and Ingo tbh. When I get stressy I start thinking about Fire at Will and writing for that series again 😂 little things... I am very soft towards it. I have many ideas for it still.

Anyway, Akari but only Akari-not-Dawn because... Dawn being Akari is not my personal headcanon, in any way, shape, or form, and I like to imagine Akari being taken from somewhere she knew and fumbling and learning and still being accepted. Maybe not by everyone, but by enough people that she finds comfort and family.

And Ingo because the fandom made me fond of the silly subway man. I don't have a lot of headcanons for him because of,,,, Reasons :) mostly my own concern at people seeing my version of him and coming off rude and "that's not the right way to do Ingo" but 🤷🏼‍♀️ he's fun. I like the amnesia. I like going around in game and like- I've found only one pearl clan member who brings him up. I like to think he's solitary for whatever reason, but meeting the protag (Akari) helps open him up a lil. Literally brings him down the mountain. I like thinking of two people in similar circumstances finding common ground so- yes. Akari and Ingo are my comfort characters for PLA 🙈😅

🧠 Pick a character, and I'll tell you my favorite headcanon for them.

Akari- probably obvious, but my favorite headcanon for her is that Arceus pulled her from an entirely different universe/world that didn't have pokemon. The fact that you can answer "no" to Laventon asking if you know what pokemon are.... delicious.

Ingo- I like to think Ingo is a nickname, actually! I know people have unique names, but I like to headcanon that he's got some really benign, normal name (like- Emmet isn't common but isn't UNCOMMON you know?) and that as a kid, every time I go saw a train he would say "In go! In go!" cause he wanted to get in the train, so his parents started calling him "Ingo" and it's just. What everyone knows him as now. I know several people by their nickname (one guy at work is only known as Squints) and one of my best friends goes by her middle name primarily. Every time I see her email me I get confused before I remember her email is her actual first name. I like to think that very few people know what Ingo's given name is and get confused when anyone requests him by such.

🥺 Is there a certain type of moment or common interaction between your characters that never fails to put you in your feels?

COMFORTING. God, comforting. After injury, or a nightmare, or an argument. Giving apologies and discussing things and ending it with a hug.... I'm such a goddamn sucker for hurt/comfort. I'm so soft. I'm 10 ply. I wanna write angst so I can write the comfort aftermath constantly. Always.

✨ Give you and your writing a compliment. Go on now. You know you deserve it. 😉

(boooo 😂😂) I don't know how to compliment myself. That's not a cry for help, that's the honest truth. I have ✨Issues✨. I will try!

Despite what is probably an excessive use of commas, I am good at writing characters considering their actions and surroundings. I have fun when writing and that's what's most important.

Thank you 💚💚💚

A Complete Review of the Entire Twilight Series

This summer, I read all the Twilight Books for the first time in my life, so I could ultimately form my own opinions about the series and decide if I liked it for myself. And boy do I have opinions! I hope you enjoy reading my hot takes and first impressions of Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight series.

Twilight: Oof, okay. If I had read this when I was 10, when it originally came out, I definitely would have been a twihard. But as an adult, the book is slow-paced and actually hard to get through. The best scenes are when Bella confronts Edward about saving her from the car and then when the evil vampire, James, starts fucking things up. Meyer is a mediocre writer and Bella is a reflection of her own low self-esteem and need for validation from a man. If you took away the entire plot of “I can’t be with you because I’m a vampire”, the romance message of “I want to fuck you so bad but I can’t because I’m mormon” would still very much be intact. Vampirism is an allegory for Mormonism. Overall Bella should have been turned into a vampire in this book. ⅗ stars

New Moon: So Edward leaves Bella because he thinks he’s protecting her but doesn’t bother to ask Bella what she thinks or listen to her. Cool. So she spends the better half of the book hanging with Jacob. I kept waiting for the “love triangle” part, but… it didn’t quite appear? It’s obvious Bella likes hanging out with Jacob in a brotherly/friendly kind of way, Jacob wants it to be more but whatever. He’s still nice and pretty much respects Bella’s boundaries until he turns into a werewolf. I’m also disappointed that Edward wasn’t actually scolding Belle when she was in danger? Like it would have been an easy explanation but instead it was just Bella imagining it, which is so much harder to believe. Anyway, I would’ve been team Jacob if he didn’t turn into such a dick from werewolf hormones. The Italy scene was cool though, and made me think of rooting for a completely different team - Team Alice. ⅘  stars.

Eclipse: There is still no love triangle. There never really is a love triangle, so I’m interested to see how the movies take care of this. Because every time Bella is told to choose by Jacob, she always tells him that’s not fair because she always chooses Edward romantically, but still wants to maintain the platonic relationship she has with Jacob. I really scrutinized Edward in this book, and while he can be moody and annoying just like Bella is self-deprecating and annoying, he does become nicer to her and isn’t a huge dick to her about her wanting to see Jacob, and in fact he helps her make it happen. The amount of time Bella spends with Alice still makes me interested in a story where Meyer was not so Mormon and in fact interested in lesbians. I’ll just have to explore that on my own though. The fight was meh, we don’t get to see any of it because Bella is not a vampire still. ⅗ stars

Breaking Dawn: New Moon and Eclipse were painful to read. The only reason this one is less painful is because Bella FINALLY GETS TURNED INTO A VAMPIRE! No more incessant complaining and arguing with Edward about it! But it is dumb that the only reason we had to wait this long is so that Meyer could fulfill the weird gross Mormon-married-with-children fantasy. Reconnaissance is so weird and creepy and I’m not into it. This book is, however, still a huge disappointment because a huge fight against the Volturi is foreshadowed by Bella’s dreams the ENTIRE TIME, and it DOESN’T HAPPEN. LIKE WHAT??? I was so excited to finally get some real action scenes, but nope. Because there’s no end to the Volturi and no epic fight scene where the Cullens win, the end of the book reads like there’ll be another book in the Bella series. But there isn’t. I maybe would have been interested in a Little-House-on-the-Prairie-type spin-off of Renasmeme, if Jacob had not weirdly imprinted on her. Really hate how the imprinting on children is explained as “Oh no! This isn’t Pedophilia!”. Meyer, you are super fucked up. ⅖ stars for the ultimate disappointment in the end of a series. 

Final Thoughts: I’m interested to watch the movies solely to make fun of them. I will be seeking some Alice x Bella content. This series was difficult to read, and though entertaining, had so much untapped potential. Favorite Characters: Rosalie (much respect), Emmet (Himbo), Seth (Very Nice), and Alice (Literally the best and funniest character). Overall rating: 3 stars. I will not be reading Midnight Sun because it was hard enough reading Twilight from Bella’s POV, imagine how unbearable Edward’s is when he’s being angsty.

February Media Madness!

Hello and welcome to “see how I wasted my time” the post where I keep track of all the media I consume in a month. If you’re new here, this is mainly just my excuse to shout into the void about my feelings on things I’ve watched or read in a month. And it’s almost been a year!

Movies!

Ocean’s 8: Sandra Bullock assembles a team of ladies to steal a super fancy diamond necklace. As someone who has never seen an Ocean’s movie before, I thought this was fun. I like heists, and I LOVE jewel heists. The characters are all great, not particularly deep, but they don’t have to be. And Anne Hathaway steals the show. However, there’s a glaring problem with this movie, and it’s the fact that everything seems ridiculously easy for them, taking away any sense of tension. There’s a lot of points where things should cause significant problems but...don’t. So if you stop asking questions and just go with it, it’s a good time. 7/10

Boku no Hero Academia- Two Heroes: It’s the BNHA version of Die Hard. Seriously, All Might and a bunch of other heroes and citizens are taken hostage by villains in a skyscraper, and the most popular characters from the UA class have to save them. And it’s good. Just like the show. I’ve never gotten hyped up for this series as much as everyone else seems to, but it’s enjoyable and the movie has more of the good action and fun characters! I did feel like it went on a little long, and I wish we had gotten more of the characters doing stuff on the island instead of mainly just the villain plot. I think it’s because it reminded me a lot of the vacation arc in Assassination Classroom. But whatever, it’s still fun and worth watching. 7/10

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them: Awkward magizoologist Newt Scamander accidentally releases a bunch of magical creatures into 1920s New York and must round them all up with the help of lovable muggle/no-maj Jacob Kowalski. And there’s some horror movie type stuff going on with a creepy kid and Grindelwald in disguise. It’s the spin-off/prequel to Harry Potter that we all know and...love? I know some people resent this movie just for existing, but I like it. I like the creatures. I like going to new places in the wizarding world. I like Newt. I like Tina. I LOVE Queenie and Jacob, both separately and together. The plot is a little...stretched, but I don’t mind that much. And no one had the good sense to keep Colin Farrell as Grindelwald. However, I haven’t seen the second movie yet, so I should probably have my Harry Potter super fan card revoked. I honestly think that this could have been a fine stand alone movie or maybe a duology, where the second movie focuses on the backstory between Dumbledore and Grindelwald, and Grindelwald’s rise to power. I certainly don’t need five movies of this though, and I think everyone would rather see a prequel of Harry Potter’s parents in the marauders era instead. Oh well, I still like this movie for what it is. I just don’t need five of them. 7.5/10

How to Train Your Dragon 2: Five years after the viking village of Berk has accepted dragons instead of fighting them, a mysterious villain with a dragon army wants to...idk take over the world or something, so naturally it’s up to a wiry 20 year old Hiccup to stop the seemingly inevitable war. I love this movie, both as a sequel and a solid story in a trilogy. It has its issues, mainly the fact that it glorifies/glosses over absentee parents and its final act seems like it was hastily rewritten as a merchandising opportunity...but dang other than that I can’t really say anything bad about it. I’m even one of the few people who like the side characters. The time jump feels natural, and I liked seeing everything come together after watching the TV series. It also of course has great music, stunning animation, and a lot of heart and effort put into every minute. I alsothink this sequel has an interesting message about how different people view peace and war and whether or not people are capable of change. So yeah, this is one of those series that I think has something for everyone. 9/10

The Lego Movie 2- The Second Part: Five years after the first Lego movie ends with “aliens” invading, the Lego universe has become a post-apocalyptic society where everything is not awesome. And after another invasion, all the important characters except Emmet get kidnapped, and he has to save everyone from an...evil(?) queen. But really it’s a story about getting along and seeing things from other people’s perspectives. It’s fun, and it has incredibly creative music (and please for the sake of all that is good, watch the credits song). But there are times when I wished it wouldn’t lean so heavily on the...fourth wall breaking from the first movie. I felt like I would have completely understood what must be happening outside the Lego world to drive the plot, and then they would just cut to the human characters to explain everything. But it’s still a great time and hilarious as expected. 8/10

Books!

(To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before) P.S I Still Love You by Jenny Han: The second book in the To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before trilogy. It serves to give you a glimpse into Lara Jean and Peter’s life as a couple. It’s like a sweet slice of life anime where some notable things occur, like the hot tub video plot that was in the movie happens AND JOHN AMBROSE MCCLAREN SHOWS UP..but there’s no real plot. And that’s fine! This was a super fun read, just like the first one, and John Mcclaren is amazing. There’s really only one major problem I have with this book, and it’s Gen’s and Lara Jean’s relationship. Throughout the book LJ knows something bad is happening with Gen’s family. We know that Peter is still Gen’s friend and promised her he wouldn’t say anything, which is justifiable as something friends do! I wish we could have seen Peter trying to convince Gen to apologize or explain the situation to LJ, but it is what it is. However, we also know Gen did something truly terrible in posting the hot tub video, and literally nothing going on in her personal life or her past justifies her being a life ruining bitch just because she feels bad. So what I really wanted to see was LJ marching up to her and saying “I know you’re going through something, but you ruined my fucking life for no apparent reason, so I demand an apology and an explanation” like the boss she is. And, as anyone who watched the movie knows, Gen tries to be the martyr and gain sympathy by placing the blame on LJ because of something that happened in FREAKING MIDDLE SCHOOL!  I cannot stress enough how out of line Gen’s character is, and no amount of hastily garnered sympathy or backstory reveals will make her better. But yeah other than that, it was very enjoyable. And if Lara Jean doesn’t want John Ambrose Mcclaren, then I’ll take him. 8/10

King of Scars by Leigh Bardugo: It’s the start of a new series in Bardugo’s “Grishaverse”. And yes you absolutely need to read both the Grisha Trilogy and the Six of Crows duology to read this. KoS centers around the now King Nikolai Lanstov who has been possessed by a monster created by the Darkling. Also Ravka is once again on the brink of war, Nikolai must think about getting married, and there’s a cult that wants the Darkling to made a saint. But actually, this book is split into three different stories: one following Nikolai and Zoya trying to get rid of the monster, one following Nina on a secret mission in Fjerda, and one following what's happening in Ravka while Nikolai is away. So basically, one part Nina being a badass, one part eldritch horror story, and one part The Prince and The Pauper. And it was pretty good...except for the fact that I understood almost none of Nikolai and Zoya’s story after the second half of the book. I wasn’t into the...saint business because it seemed so out of place for this series. I also feel like she missed out on some great characters meeting each other. Oh well, it’s still a great study in world building and character interactions, the ending is buck wild, and Nina continues to be a bisexual disaster...so it’s worth it. 8/10

The Magician’s Nephew by C.S. Lewis: Several decades before the Pevensies stepped through the wardrobe, young Digory Kirke (aka the Professor) and Polly Plummer are roped into a traumatizing adventure of their own. Only instead of saving Narnia, they accidentally release a younger but just as intimidating Jadis from her own dying world into London, and in an attempt to get her out of Earth, end up letting her loose in the newly created Narnia. This is probably the book with the most similarities to TLTWATW, with a truly terrifying villain, a winding but whimsical plot, and a lot of humor. Digory and Polly are the most well written children so far. They are both hilarious great characters in their own ways, and I love seeing them fight and make up like actual kids who are friends. While Digory has to go through his own redemption arc similarly to Edmund, Polly is always there as the voice of the audience telling him to not be a dumbass. Not to mention whenever he tries to get away with saying something sexist, she’s shuts him down like a badass. And there’s also a London cabby who literally tells Aslan that he’ll be king of Narnia if his awesome wife gets to come too...and there’s a horse named Strawberry that turns into a Pegasus. So what’s not to like? People may complain about all the religious metaphors and creationism, but come on lighten up. At least it’s not horribly racist, and you’ll long for the simple biblical similarities when you’re faced with the layers of religious offense in The Last Battle. 9/10

The Last Battle by C.S. Lewis (mild spoilers): The final book in the Chronicles of Narnia series, in which the world ends because a talking ape convinces a donkey to dress up as Aslan to trick all the Narnians into giving them stuff. There’s a lot more to this plot, but those are the basics. There is a TON of stuff to unpack in this epic conclusion, and this isn’t even the half of it.

This book seems like the Last Jedi for this series, in that some people are incredibly moved by it and are very happy with the conclusion our main characters have been given, and some people think it’s a pile of crap. I think there is good in this book. But, putting aside my good feelings for a second, THE LAST BATTLE IS ONE OF THE MOST UNCOMFORTABLY RACIST THINGS I’VE EVER READ...voluntarily anyway. Seriously, if you thought The Horse and His Boy was bad, you ain't seen nothing yet. There are many layers of why this particular plot in the series is so offensive I could write essays on why this book should be thrown out the window. Not to mention the Susan problem. So I'll say, that even though there were good things in this book, it doesn't excuse...everything else. Also Eustace isn’t as snarky in this one...I miss my sarcastic sass boy.

HOWEVER, unlike some people, I think it was exactly the conclusion that the series has been leading up to since the beginning. I think the plot of an imposter Aslan and the effect it would have on Narnians is cool. And much like the book of Revelation, the end of the world is weird, confusing, and dark as fuck considering this is a children’s book. He invokes an amazing sense of fear and sadness, considering we just saw the birth of Narnia in the last book. And I am one of the people who loved the last few pages. It was an interesting take on heaven, theology, and the questions of “is Aslan also Tash? Is one religion better? Are all gods the same?” are dealt with very well considering that was one of the most problematic aspects of the book. I love literally all the characters you can think of reuniting in the end...except for Susan. I will say, Susan no longer being a friend of Narnia was led up to throughout the other books, and I think what Polly says about her wanting to be grown up rings true...in a sense. What we really need is a new series for Susan where she becomes a friend of Narnia again and gets her happy ending, rather than just “oh look makeup, guess I can’t be in Narnia anymore.” AND YET Lewis finally abandoned the idea of “girls shouldn’t be fighting” and made Jill a super secret ninja spy/badass archer warrior woman. So...I can’t even say it’s as sexist as the other books. There’s also a male talking unicorn who is best friends with the current king...and it kind of seems like they have a thing for each other...so there’s that.

Some people are angry that it is so religiously based and the allegories are so in your face, but at this point if you're reading the Chronicles of Narnia and are upset that there's religion in it, I don't know what to tell you. Truthfully, I thought he did the allegory for the church controlling the population very well, and the idea judgement based on whether you actively hate Aslan instead of being about how you’re either a good or bad person was so cool and different. But honestly, I just don't know what to feel. I'm happy for the characters in the end...I liked the overall idea of this final book...but man it can be super uncomfortable to the point that I don’t even want to rate it.

TV Shows!

Kitten Rescuers: Why yes, it is the incredibly wholesome British TV show about the RSPCA going around and rescuing cats from bizarre and/or dangerous situations, like being stuck up chimneys or drain pipes. And yes, it is the purest thing you will ever watch, even with My Roommate is a Cat in the running as the best cat themed show of the year. I don’t care if it seems like a big commercial for the RSPCA sometimes, I just want to see some cute kittens get their happy endings. My only complaint is that there’s only 8 episodes on Netflix, and I’m desperate for more. 100 adorable feline friends/10

Re: Zero Starting Life in Another World: You know, the anime everyone lost their shit over in 2016? The isekai where the main protagonist keeps re-spawning every time he dies in the fantasy world he is magically transported to and does nothing but suffer? But hey it has those two twin maids with the pink and blue hair in it so it’s all fine? That one. The English dub finally released the second half of the show, so I finished it. AND YES THE DUB IS ACTUALLY GOOD! And the show is fine too. But I feel like I sort of...lost the gist of why everything was happening in those last 12 episodes. However, there was a lot to like about this series overall, and yes Rem truly is best girl. I was just more invested in the first half of the series. 8/10

Honorable Mentions

I watched Christopher Robin again...and I still love it.

I read the first volume of the Tsurune light novel. It’s fine, but I liked the anime better.

Shadowhunters is back for its final...half season?

I’m currently watching The Umbrella Academy, and it’s AMAZING! I can’t wait to finish it!

The Masked Singer (U.S version) has finally ended. And now there’s a trashy hole in my heart.
