Soy Luna Season 3 Episodes 1-30 Thoughts

Okay I've been zooming through these episodes fast while I have the longest break from work I've had since I started the job.

Giving us Lumon for 10 episodes except it's only one-sided on Luna's part and she goes back on it because Nina keeps saying "maybe you're just trying to forget Matteo" is annoying

Nina, no offense, but you have the worst relationship advice fam

Simon and Luna are actually cute together, and people often forget that those in relationships should be capable of being reliable and trusted friends. Relationships don't have to have constant conflict

Poor Luna throughout all of it though. She was about to confess to Simon, only for him to say he's in love with Ambar. I would be crushed

Ambar and Simon having sexual tension in almost every scene they share is crazy for a Disney show. I get why so many people love them together so much

I also like that Simon is the one person she's not scared of being vulnerable around even with their relationship ended, that hug for comfort was everything

Sharon looking like a Dollar Store Carrie-Anne Moss is making it hard for me to take her seriously lmao

Sharon is an awful parental figure to Ambar. "You have to stay with the Valente's because I have a plan to exact revenge against them" is the worst possible thing to say to her when she was the one constant in Ambar's life from the time she was adopted

Alfredo is so stubborn, it is realistic. Old people are like that

The end of Gastina is sad, but understandable. I feel like Gaston did see the video Delfina posted about Eric and Nina and didn't assume she cheated, get mad, or anything like that. However, he was probably thinking "it's unfair for her to be committed to me when I can barely even make time for her"

Eric kind of gives me weird vibes. He's not bad, but I feel like he's an inch away from doing something to get me to dislike him. From my experience, the whole shy guy thing starts seeming like a red flag once you exit high school unless they were homeschooled or escaped an abusive situation tbh

Delfina and Pedro are boring, but I can see them being a stable couple tbh

The scenes involving Lutteo feel forced, like they are telling more than they are showing

Matteo is actually somewhat bearable this season, and I attribute that to him having actual friends beyond just Gaston (who mostly gave him advice)

The Red Sharks are absolutely insufferable. Emilia and Benicio both deserve the worst

I understand Ramiro though. He saw skating as his CAREER more than anyone else. The Jam and Roller team had nothing except each other until their video while the Red Sharks had equipment, a financier, sponsors, a rink, etc. I kind of agree with Ramiro on not feeling too bad about recording them. The whole aspect of being shunned and then "please don't release the video, we're friends" after nobody really talking to him except Jim. I'd be annoyed too

The show makes such a big deal out of Emilia kissing Matteo without his consent (which is very messed up too, don't get me wrong), but it brushed over Matteo doing the same to Luna and somewhat less with Benicio doing the same to Ambar.. I'm not sure how to feel about that

Gary is a horrible person, and Ana deserves someone who is amazing tbh. I know if I was a single 40-ish year old man dating her, I would be obsessed with treating her right and making sure she was happy

It is nice to have a very clear antagonist with a big presence like Gary though. He is lowkey an idiot because if he did things with an ounce of tact and wasn't an asshole for no reason, things wouldn't suddenly start blowing up in his face like the big lack of a coach and his team's lack of discipline (why did he stop at 4 instead of 6 lmao)

WEST SIDE STORY 2021

That's right, and who are you? Friend or foe?

[dxrkenedheights]

where: supply depot with: ryan cross and isla alvarez @waterfallswords

★・・・・・・★

As his day takes him to the depot, Ryan quickly spots the small wolf that had all of them close to losing their minds trying to find. It still is a surprise to see Isla in the flesh, despite sharing a cabin Ryan has to do a double take that it's a real vision. Even now when he sees her with two crates piled ontop of one another, it doesn't feel real that he's moving to the other side and swiftly taking them from her. "I got 'em." he mentions simply, nodding in the direction she was walking. "Where they gotta go?" he asks as his eyes scan through the depot and land on Lia on the opposite side. He's ready to point out the redhead to Isla, shifting the crates in his hold before he remembers the rather obvious reason why Isla might want to keep her distance. "You don't gotta work yourself to the bone helpin' around here, Isla. We get it if you and El gotta focus on what you need to. No one's gonna say a thing."

Couplets is suffused with the terrifying implications of creative will. You can shape your life — either through language or through love. “Once in a while,” the narrator says, “there would flash before you an image of yourself from the outside — towards whom, for the briefest moment, you’d be able to feel something like indifference. Just a person. Just a pronoun. Just the form you saw the world through, / soft and warm and waiting to be used by you.” If subjectivity, the “I,” can be inhabited, then it can also be created. Queerness is, then, just one answer to the “formal concern” of how to live: “finding for one’s time on earth // a shape that feels more native than imposed — / a shape in which desire, having chosen // it, can multiply.” Here, Millner reminded me of the late trans activist Lou Sullivan, who desired to be “one of those people […] that has their own interpretation of happiness.” Millner continues: “[I]sn’t love itself a type // of rhyme? And don’t gender and genre share one root?” They do — the root gene- means “to give birth” or “to form.” To engender oneself. Or, in the words of French novelist Constance Debré: “[H]omosexuality isn’t about who [you’re] fucking, it’s about who [you] become.” Becoming yourself, as adolescence teaches us, comes with a cost. For Millner’s narrator, stepping “from the script” and into her desire releases a “reckoning” that she wishes “on no one and everyone.” Yes, there is wreckage, disappointment, folly, heartbreak. But there is also the priceless conviction of knowing what you are capable of, of recognizing that you are freer than you think: “For freedom, I have learned, I’d barter // virtue every time. For any fierce, untrammeled feeling, / now I know I’d give up almost anything.”

[isadomna]

La princesa de Éboli es, sin duda, uno de los personajes más atractivos y controvertidos de la Corte de Felipe II. En parte por su inquietante belleza, que su famoso parche en el ojo derecho hacía más provocativa, pero sobre todo por ese vaivén de su fortuna de pasar de ser la principal dama de la Corte a la que muere, caída en desgracia, en la lóbrega prisión  de Pastrana.

Nos atraen sus intrigas cortesanas, sus amoríos, sus despilfarros y, sobre todo, sus odios y sus amores. ¿Fue la amante del Rey? Al menos todo apunta a un trato íntimo con el monarca, pues era la gran amiga española de la joven reina Isabel de Valois. ¿Tuvo algún devaneo con don Juan de Austria? ¿Estuvo implicada en el asesinato de Escobedo? ¿Por qué Felipe II la condenó a reclusión perpetua? ¿De qué tenía miedo el Rey? ¿Qué le preocupaba de lo que pudiera decir Ana de Mendoza en un juicio público?

¿Temía que su relación con Antonio Pérez pusiera en peligro importantes secretos de Estado? Todas preguntas con difícil respuesta, pero de una cosa no nos cabe duda: el soberano quería a toda costa el silencio de la Princesa, incluso con su prisión. Una vida apasionante que Manuel Fernández Álvarez recrea para sus lectores.

De doña Ana Mendoza y de la Cerda, princesa de Éboli, dijo el artista contemporáneo español Alonso de Coloma (1532-1607) que fue la única mujer 'capaz de entretejer alrededor del cuello de todo un rey una soga hecha con pasiones que estuvo a punto de acabar con un gran imperio'. Protagonista clave en ese ambiguo y para muchos inexistente Renacimiento español de la segunda mitad del siglo XVI, doña Ana de Mendoza cubre con este libro biográfico el hueco que tenía pendiente con la historiografía moderna. Heredera única de una de las estirpes más importantes de su época, los Mendoza, en sus manos también llegó a poseer una de las fortunas más grandes de momento. Hermosa, cordial, cariñosa, amable, y al mismo tiempo intrigante ambiciosa, orgullosa, o codiciosa... son muchos los calificativos que se le pueden otorgar a la princesa de Éboli, la mejor prueba, quizá, de lo difícil que resulta definir a esta mujer a la que se le han atribuido amoríos con el propio monarca y, sobre todo, con uno de sus secretarios más importantes, Antonio Pérez.

LA DISUASIÓN NO ES LO NUCLEAR. Rafael Dávila Álvarez. General de División (R.)

Disuadir se resume en desistir. Mejor no hacerlo porque… La única manera de acabar con una guerra es acabar con los recursos del atacante. Es antigua la conocida filosofía guerrera de Sun Tzu: «A un general que no cuidó de asegurar los víveres se le destruye sin pelear […]. Es gran máxima la de un general que quiere más destruir al enemigo por el hambre que a fuerza de armas». ¿Cómo disuadir? La…

Ana Alvarez in "Enciende mi Pasion"

[moonteaa]

Imagine with me for a moment

Characters that were close to Zelda, (Link, Tulin, Teba, Sidon, Yunobo, Riju, Impa, etc.) visiting her in her dragon form just ..keeping her company. Talking to her. Telling her stories. Comforting her. Just being with her after she had been all alone in solitude for so long, they finally found her and they just refuse to let her be alone. Bye I’m gonna cry now. ☹️

(I imagine Teba flying alongside with her and telling her that this wasn’t what he had in mind when he said he would take her flying with him one day. Stoic bird dad is devastated and wants his daughter back pls. ALSKDKDJ I’m sorry ☹️)

(I may draw this out.. forgive me.)

How To Succeed in Witchcraft by Aislinn Brophy

Shay Johnson has all the makings of a successful witch. Now that she's a junior at T.K. Anderson Magical Magnet School, she's one step closerto winning the full-ride Brockton Scholarship--her ticket into the university of her dreams. Her main competition? Ana freaking Alvarez. The key to victory? Impressing Mr. B, drama teacher and head of the scholarship committee.

When Mr. B persuades Shay to star in this year's aggressively inclusive, racially diverse musical--at their not-quite-diverse school--she agrees, wearily, even though she'll have to put up with Ana playing the other lead. But with rehearsals underway, Shay realizes Ana is...not the despicable witch she'd thought. Perhaps she could even be a friend--or more. And Shay could use someone in her corner once she finds herself on the receiving end of Mr. B's unpleasant and unwanted attention. When Shay learns she's not the first witch to experience his inappropriate behavior, she must decide if she'll come forward. But how can she speak out when the scholarship--and her future--are on the line?

Soy Luna Ep 32-51 Thoughts

Yeah, I really am getting through this show fast. I used the 4 days I had off this week to binge the show lol. I normally have 3 days off, but I took one day of vacation because I was exhausted. I don't have any normal hobbies because I work nights, so I'm stuck with media consumption and cooking for the most part.

WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT KISS, MATTEO? It's not even a good "surprise kiss". Luna looked traumatized and was clearly angry afterwards. Compare it to Violetta and Leon where she was very happy it happened, and it's insane how they want us to root for Matteo. I can tell they're trying to tone him down, but I still don't like him. The whole bravado aspect of his personality is tiresome and not cute or charming

Simon contradicted himself with the "you won't lose me, Luna" after seeing the kiss. But I'll cut him a break bc it's tough to be friends with people you have feelings for, especially when you're only like 18. His new GF, Daniella, doesn't seem like a good person though, sadly. I hope his future relationships are much better

Sharon Benson is a horrible person, and I genuinely feel bad for Ambar for the absence of any parental love or concern in her life. It's clear Ambar sabotages Luna because she envies her and sees her as someone who gets/has everything she (Ambar) wants. Ambar's schemes are way less ludicrous and more believable than Ludmilla's.

Gaston having a bunch of girls chase after him is honestly super believable and funny tbh. He actually reminds me of one dude I knew who was really well-liked for being handsome and smart in high school. Also, one of the few popular people I knew who didn't post everything on IG and judge others based on that

Tino and Cato's idiocy is annoying, I've said this already. But I want to see more of the side characters who are actually interesting. I will give Soy Luna credit that it gives the side characters more plotlines than Violetta seemingly

I do not have strong feelings on Jim and Nico, but I can kind of buy it. Jim still has more chemistry with Yam.

Yam, on the other hand, I cannot see as being into Ramiro. Sorry, but she gives off 100% lesbian vibes. No way she's into men lol. Jim I can see being bi, but no way I see that with Yam.

Ricardo and Tamara I just do not see working out, but it sucks that Tamara's ex won't respect their relationship and give them space. I can already tell they're trying to set him up with Mora for the future with them having the whole gaming interest in common

It's realistic but also kinda sad how Nina's whole relationship with Xavi fizzled out the moment they could only talk online, but it reminded me a lot of how many friendships I've had online fizzle out

And now I have to sleep and prep for work tomorrow night, it's going to be a long week.

My 15 Most Anticipated Films of 2024!!

These are far from definitive, and quickly thrown together just right now. I'm missing a bunch that I'm legitimately excited over as opposed to some of these that I'm just kinda looking forward to, but I'm blanking on them, right now, so y'all get these, instead. Enjoy!

Madame Web (S.J. Clarkson, 2024) – 2.14.24 Meh... kinda looks garbage, but Sydney Sweeney as Spider-Woman, so... yeah.

Dune: Part Two (Denis Villeneuve, 2024) – 3.1.24 Part One felt too incomplete to not be excited for this. Hopefully the pacing is better.

Mickey 17 (Bong Joon Ho, 2024) – 3.29.24 Thoroughly enjoyed the book and I love Bong Joon Ho.

Civil War (Alex Garland, 2024) – 4.26.24 The scope of the trailer sold me.

Challengers (Luca Guadagnino, 2024) – 4.26.24 Zendaya + Guadagnino has me sold.

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (George Miller, 2024) – 5.24.24 Haaave you seen Fury Road?!?

Ballerina (Len Wiseman, 2024) – 6.7.24 Ana de Armas in a John Wick spinoff... yes, please.

Inside Out 2 (Kelsey Mann, 2024) – 6.14.24 The first was so emotionally rich. I want Pixar to make me cry again.

The Bikeriders (Jeff Nichols, 2024) – 6.21.24 Love Nichols' previous films. Excited to see what he delivers with this cast.

Deadpool 3 (Shawn Levy, 2024) – 7.26.24 Wade + Logan Forever.

Alien: Romulus (Fede Alvarez, 2024) – 8.16.24 Huge fan of the franchise, won't ever not be excited for an Alien movie.

Beetlejuice 2 (Tim Burton, 2024) – 9.6.24 God, the first is just perfection, skeptical but excited to see what Burton has up his sleeves for this one.

Joker: Folie à Deux (Todd Phillips, 2024) – 10.4.24 First was meg, overall, but Phoenix was fantastic, and I'm looking forward to seeing what Lady Gaga does with Harley Quinn.

Gladiator 2 (Ridley Scott, 2024) – 11.22.24 Meh... this is here because of Ridley and Denzel.

Nosferatu (Robert Eggers, 2024) – 12.25.24 My actual most anticipated film of 2024. Hate that Anya isn't attached, but the promotional stills have killed any doubts I might've had.

There they are!

As for My Best of 2023, once again all of the major lists will not be getting posted until mid-January, but I’m going to try to get some of the early lists – such as Posters & TV – sorted and posted over the next week or two. Please Feel Free to Follow Along So You Don’t Miss Anything!

Stay Tuned!
