So I did this a while ago and now I'm back with another one.

Every friend group has. . .

I like this movie and the novelization so my decisions are based on a mix of them both.

3 People I think wanda should interact with/interact more with.

1. Rebecca kapalan

Billy's moms should meet each other

2. Talia wagner

Au daughter of wanda and nightcrawler. She's met 616 kurt a couple times, enough for her to call him dad, but has yet to met 616 wanda, I think they should even if it's only for 2 panels.

3. Bova

Listen, I'd die for her. She has never done anything wrong ever. Idc how they bring her back since Wanda's not magdas daughter currently but I need her to make a return

“Il mare se ne frega. Al mare non importa nulla di te. Succede a chi è così grande. Non ha tempo per curarsi delle cose insignificanti. Come me. Il mare se frega perché sa che lui ci sarà anche domani. E’ un lusso che a te non è concesso. Hai meno tempo del mare. Per questo dovresti dare valore al tempo che ti rimane. Perché non ne hai. Finché non arriva il giorno in cui fai il punto e di momenti importanti te ne vengono in mente quattro o cinque. Gli altri? Gli altri se li è portati via il mare.”

― Manuel Bova, “Al mare non importa”.

I finished reading "Don't Ask Forever" by Joyce Bova. I devoured 490 pages in just 2 days T.T (I stayed awake until 4AM for 2 days and get up to work at 9, lol)

I was reading it for free on the internet but ended up buying the kindle version because I know I want to give it a re-read in the future.

My favourite funny bit is probably when Joyce complained it's too cold and Elvis complained he was burning hot when they were sleeping, turned out the remote control for the electric blanket they were using are tangled, so Joyce controlled Elvis' blanket temperature and vice versa. It took some time for them to figure out the main issue and untangled the cable. At the end they went downstairs to the kitchen, checked the fridge, to got something to eat. Out of all food, Elvis chose ice cream, in the winter.

I can just picture it in my head. And I love it because it makes Elvis more.. human. Even "The King" had issue with blanket sometimes.

Compared to Elvis & Me by Priscilla, I love Joyce's book more because there's no sugar-coating in it, it's more honest, and I can feel the distress, the happiness, the love, the sadness, that she was feeling at that time. And I love the way she observed things about Elvis and his surroundings.

My favourite quote:

"... His mysterious doctors and their miracle cures operated there. It was where those drastic mood swings originated, so unpredictable that I was left to wonder if I could ever truly know him, if there even was a true Elvis left to know."

Sorry for rambling, I still can't move on from the bittersweet ending, the angst, the romance, everything. 💕

Oh, the complexity of loving Elvis Presley 😩
