i dont know if you still answering this but I just finished reading the finale. life has been insane. I finished my freshman year of college, among other things in my life. I loved it so much. The finale was such a rollercoaster. RL breakup gave me Finchell Season 3 break vibes. at first, I was surprised when I read the episode. the ending got spoiled acdently just there ending by how I read the chapters. and I was WHAT. then, it made sense after reading it and while I was reading. they have to grow apart to be better together. " ITS REALY GOOD TO SEE YOU." What does Zay mean to Charlie when he said What do you mean it's really good see him? there not dating. there not friends I NEED MOREEEE. ALSO MAYA WHAT HAS THIS INDISTURY DONE TO YOU. I LOVED IT AND HATED IT I NEED MORE IT WAS SO BEAUTIFULLY WRRITEN OMG. now after reading and looking at everyone thought and thinking of my one the only thing I'm surprised other then Zay and charlie and Maya of it all. is how much or not all things have seen to change. because in your adultife esacpliy when your growing up 5 years is a long time. they were like 18-19 and now there 23-24 is that right. also it seems like a lot has changed also is there any reason why you didn't want to focus more on there college years? so another question is how much will season 5 differ from past seasons or even season 4? sorry this is long lol

first of all, BIG HUGE CONGRATULATIONS on finishing freshman year!! that is a great accomplishment, i hope you're proud of yourself and are enjoying your studies so far. 🌟

i am so sorry the finale got spoiled for you, but i'm glad it all felt like it made sense in the end. that has been the biggest relief to es and i with all major storytelling decisions that we've made -- does this feel earned? have we done the work to get from point a to point b, where it feels understandable (if not always preferable)? as long as we can keep doing that, we know we're on the right track, and it's always so nice to hear from you all as readers when it lands exactly how it's supposed to. that will most certainly be true for season 5... which is partially why it's taking a while to get everything just right lol. we know we have your trust, and we are going to do our best to show we've earned it as we follow through on the remainder of this story.

(also, to the finchel shoutout -- very good callout. can you tell that episode of television fundamentally altered me? one of the best storytelling moments in glee, without a doubt).

as for your comments on zc, i just read it in this voice:

but i will say, it's interesting that you interpreted their interaction that way. it was certainly meant to be vague and leave questions in the air -- all things from that quick and disorienting flash forward were -- so i suppose we'll just have to see what the true status of everything is once we get context. context is everything, isn't it...

as for the time jump, yep, you've got that right. the time jump is five years, so we'll be going from spring 2022 to fall 2027 at the start of season 5. the ensemble will be between the ages of 23 - 26 (setting aside outliers like josh). and you basically hit the nail on the head as to why we made that choice: so much happens in this time of our lives, particularly when you're thrust out of collegiate comfort and into the real world. we felt like there wasn't as much compelling story to tell in the span of yet another year of college -- there's things going on, of course (and we'll get to all of that, rest assured), but the true STORY laid beyond that horizon and in the trenches of adulthood. all the tangles that were twisted over the course of the last five years, we'll be jumping back in at the perfect moment to (hopefully) untangle them. and maybe it's just speaking from experience, but once you hit your mid-20s, so many of us just have this big moment of "what am i doing? am i doing what i want to be doing? is this enough? am i enough?" it's kind of this quintessential turning point in your young adult life -- and we knew it would be even more important in the lives of our beloved ensemble.

(also, to be honest, there's not a ton you can do with college, esp given half our cast isn't even in higher education. it wouldn't be especially riveting storytelling to watch charlie write a 10-page paper LOL).

to that end, though, your question about how much season 5 will differ from the prior seasons is really, really interesting (and a good one). because i've been thinking about it a lot, as i've been working on the season, and it feels like... both? neither? season 5 is somehow totally different from everything that has come before (the natural result of characters aging up and confronting different challenges), yet, at the same time... it feels like it's going back to our roots at the same time. it feels like the older sibling of season 4, but with the grit of season 2, the ensemble importance of season 3, and the roots of what started it all back in season 1.

i'm sure that gave you no greater clarity as to what to expect HAHAHA. i can only hope that once you begin to experience it, you'll inherently get what i mean -- you all ambition warriors have always been really amazing at just Getting exactly what this series is all about.

final note, to highlight your very apt comments: "how much has changed? in your adult life, especially when you're growing up, five years is a long time..."

Fire brings death

Station 19 x criminal minds crossover

You're the oldest daughter to Pruitt Herrera. You were once a firefighter, going to school as you worked. You graduated just as you became a lieutenant. After a few more years you joined the BAU.

The team became your family, just like the fire station once was, still is. Derek became your brother figure. He knew Spencer had a crush on you and continuously pushed him to ask you out.

Eventually Spencer did. It started off as grabbing coffee before work, then grabbing dinner after work. The dates became you both spending time together on your days off, even Hotch was betting on when you'd get together. Rossi won the bet.

Eventually you and Spencer did get together. Your father was happy you found someone. He liked Spencer, the random facts kept him on his toes. After a few years you moved in together. You were happy, extremely happy. The two of you got married, and your dad walked you down the aisle. Your sister managed to hold her happy tears in but your dad was a sobbing mess.

You knew about your father's cancer, he called you personally, you kept pushing him to tell Andy about it, to tell her about how much time he had left.

When Andy gets married you head to Seattle to be there for her, and to convince your dad to go. You stay for a week to spend time with your dad, sister, and your new brother-in-law. The day before you leave Hotch calls you and tells you theres a case that's taking them to Seattle.

You're talking to an officer when your team arrives. "Ryan would've loved working alongside you Herrera." You can just smile not yet seeing your team, and honestly Spencer is kind of jealous, "Its kind of weird to be here without Ryan making some smart ass comment."

When everyone gets a break you take Spencer to one of your favorite coffee shops for lunch. As you're waiting Spencer asks, "Who's Ryan?" "What?" "When we got to the station you and the officer were talking about a Ryan." You look at his face before understanding what's happening. You start chuckling, "Spence are you jealous?" He starts stuttering and you explain, "Ryan was a family friend. We were neighbors our whole lives basically. He had a giant crush on my sister." Spencer looks down slightly embarrassed and you softly grab his face, "He died not too long ago. He always made smart remarks about me being a firefighter turned fed." When he stays quiet you give him a quick kiss before grabbing your order and teasing him, "Jealousy is kind of cute on you Mr Reid." He mumbles making you laugh harder, "I'll show you adorable Mrs Reid."

When the case was finished your dad invited everyone to a dinner, happy to have both of his daughters free, even if it was for the night. Your dad had to personally go to your hotel to invite your team. The evening was filled with laughter as your team and the fire station have a wonderful evening filled with laughter.

The next day you and your team are at the police station to finish off some left over paperwork when you get a call. You're happy to hear one of your dads friends voice but quickly grow confused when he tells you to grab a radio and what station to turn it to. Keeping the phone on your ear you look for a police radio and change the station hearing the chatter from, doctors, police and firefighters. You hang up when you hear Mayas voice. "What's going on?" You can only shake your head at Hotchs question as your eyes stay focused on the radio, "I dont. I dont know." You're running for the door when you hear the words leave Mayas mouth, "Captain Herrera is on the roof."

Morgan is faster than you and grabs the keys out of your hand. When you get to the scene you can see your dad hacking away at the roof. You immediately push through everyone to get to Maya. "Maya!" She can only look at you and shake her head, silently telling you she tried. With a quick second Morgan and Spencer are pulling you off of the side of the truck, "Y/N no!" "Someone has to get him down! He won't listen to anyone else." No one says anything when your voice cracks, everyone understanding what's about to happen.

Spencer traps you in his arms. The only thing anyone can do is watch. When the roof caves in, the only thing you can do is put your face into your husband's neck and grip his sweater as tears pour down your face. Spencer looks at the team to see them staring at the two of you with sadness for you on their faces. This being one of the few times anyone's seen you unhappy.

You mumble into Spencer's chest, but he can hear you clearly, "I never got to tell him." He can only rub your back in comfort. When the firefighters come out Andy stops seeing you and is about to ask what you're doing there but stops, staring at something behind you. You look and see your dads hat sitting on the truck, you look at her and only nod. A second goes by before shes running out of Sullivan's arms and into yours.

Everything stays quiet, as a sign of respect for your father. When your father's body is brought out on a gurney, your sisters still in your arms, your husbands behind you, and everyone including your team surrounding the gurney at a respectful distance. Mayas the only one who can bring herself to say something. "We should. We should say some words... Out of respect." It stays quiet until Sullivan speaks up, "He was a respected man. An amazing captain, an amazing man. He sacrificed his life so we could live, so we could continue sacrificing ours to save lives. He was a legacy, that we can only live up to." You can feel eyes on you and your sister as it gets quiet. You speak up as your head rests on top of Andy's, "He was stubborn. I can hear him now saying he was going to die anyways. He did something not many people would've. He wasn't just our dad, he was everyone's, if someone got in trouble we all did. That's who he was. He was never going to let cancer take him out. He went out on his own terms, doing something he loved. And I'm sure he appreciated the time he spent with everyone here even if most of it was him yelling at us."

That night Spencer watches as you sit on one of the chairs in your hotel room, the rest of your team had to go back home but you and Spencer were given the clear to stay for a couple days. Spencer's on the phone with Penelope, "How's she doing?" "Shes. Uh. She. She misses her dad." "Give her our love and support, we'll see you guys when you get back."

Spencer makes his way to you crouching in front of you and taking your hands in his, "You should get some sleep." You can only look at him with tears in your eyes, you look exactly like your dads favorite picture of you. A picture Spencer memorized the first time he saw it. A baggy hoodie and some leggings, and your wavy hair brushed but in a mess. "I never got to tell him." Spencer can only sigh and run his thumb along your cheek as the tears start falling again, "There was three things he wanted out of life. To be a firefighter, and he was an amazing one. He wanted to walk his daughters down the aisle and he did. But he never got to have grandchildren. And now. He's gonna miss it. I never even got the chance to tell him." "He'll be there in spirit. In stories. In your memories. He'll always be there." Your crying gets harder and you have to talk in between breaths, "I know we have friends. But who am I going to call. When the baby wont go to sleep in the middle of the night. Or when it wont eat. Hes not going to be there when I'm in labor and scared out of my mind. He wont be able to buy. One of those grandpa favorites onesies or spoil it rotten. Theres so many things that's not gonna happen. And now. Now it just feels like I can't breathe. And I don't know what to do."

Spencer stands up and pulls you with him, pulling you into his chest. He rubs your back as he speaks into your hair, "Just breathe baby. It's hard right now. I know. But with time everything will be fine. You'll learn to live with just his memory, and you'll tell this baby memories as you show them pictures as they grow up. Your father won't be forgotten."

In the morning Sullivan calls you, telling you your sister wont sleep. That's shes just staring at the wall. Spencer takes you over, the two men sitting in the kitchen drinking tea as you head up to the room. Andy looks at you for a second before her eyes are back on the wall, you sigh and say, "Its really weird that I'm about to climb into the bed you do the deed in." When she cracks a small smile you climb in next to her, a pillow separating the two of you. It takes a second, but she rolls over to face you. "It doesn't feel real." "I know. The only way I can think about it is that he went out on his own terms and not because of the cancer in his balls." She let's out a small laugh, "Did you have to say it like that?" "It got a laugh out of you didnt it?" When she stays quiet you sigh and push the hair out of her face, "Its gonna be weird for a while." "How long?" "Everyone heals different. We might be okay tomorrow. Or it could take us years."

You spend a couple minutes chuckling about small random things your dad did, things he did while you two were growing up. Then the conversation shifts to things you'll miss, things hes going to miss. "I always thought he'd live to see grandchildren." You grab her hand, "How do you think he would've reacted once he found out he'd only have to wait like six more months, if he had the chance?" Andy stops and looks at you, "Are you and Spencer?" You nod with a tearful smile. "I was going to tell him the night of the dinner, but everyone was a little too drunk. I should've. But I didn't want to have to retell him in the morning." Before you know it your sisters arms are wrapped around your neck in a hug.

An hour goes by and your husbands decide to check on the two of you. You're both fast asleep wrapped in each others arms, like you used to do as kids when Andy had a bad dream and didn't want to wake up your dad. "They'll be okay. They have each other." "They have a whole village behind them. They'll still hurt, but they have the support they need to move on and heal."

I don’t understand s9 because the point of skam is to make your main grow and happy and they didn’t achieve that like at all, maya is pretty much at the same point she was at the beginning bonus is her relationship with her grandma and minus is no more girlfriend. But anyway, lets only talk about the break up because apparently the team only focus on that when we have a lot more criticism. So you want to talk about a break up okay but why would you use your most loved and iconic couple is beyond me. But admit it, if you do a break up story, the break up should feel needed and necessary for both parties. And how they put it, it feels like lola couldn’t put it with maya’s behavior and then suddenly she fall out of love. On maya’s side, she’s devastated and depressed about the break up, in NO WAY she wants that break up and accept it. But suddenly she thinks it’s better that way? Why? Us as viewer we don’t know how or why she now thinks that. It feels more like she still wanted to be friend with lola and she needed to put her feelings aside to keep this relationship with her.

If you make a break up story, you at least need the audience to be on board with it at the end (not everyone but a majority) show us why they should remain broken up and why they are not endgame. Because you’ve spend the season showing us symbolism (yeah yeah it’s a coincidence, we believe you) that scream endgame and you want us to be on board with this ending? Maya and lola agreed to stay friends when they never talked to each other about their issues about their relationship? Would you stay friend with your ex if your relationship was *toxic*? Make it make sense.

And like it was already said they made maya and lola’s greatest fear real… Lola thinking that she’s not easy to love (with the most important person of her life agreeing, like lola expressed that she didn’t feel loved at the beginning and they agreed at the end that it was indeed too hard, great) and that maya was afraid to open up and to suffer because of it and that’s exactly what happened she finally shared her grandma with lola and expressed her feelings with lola, just for lola to say says later that she didn’t love her anymore.

On top of that lola saying « i’m okay now » clearly means now that she’s okay she doesn’t need maya. All of that is crazy. Maya wasn’t Lola carer… It diminish their relationship so much.

And all the things they made lamif way that pointed at mayla talking and working on their couple.

On an other note, I won’t watch s10 and I don’t believe they are endgame in the show (they are in my heart though and that’s all that matter. But let’s say they are, I’m wondering with the backlash of the ending how do you think their communication would have been if they get back together at the end? Would you spoil the ending of s10 and say they are endgame? Would you be vague but people could be mad (baiting) or would you not say anything to preserve the *surprise*?

I’m sorry for this long ask, I have a lot of thoughts and it’s kind of messy 😅

lol you’re good. i dont have anything add cause i agree with everything you said but yeah skdkks

How is it that Skam NL got cancelled and Wtfock plus France are doing this shitty original seasons? We could have get Lucas getting to know his Even but no we got a cheating season, a depressive/addicted girl that really look more like a spoil child and a racism season? What?! And I was a formal lover of Skam France and im a Belgian plus I didn't wasn't fan of NL at first tbh so...

Oh dont remind the dutchies about skamnl they still mad. Their s1 is my fav s1. Also their girl squad are such fun dorks. Also we all know Dutch!Even was gonna be a moc. You cant convince me otherwise. The set up was there. I liked skamfr s5 a lot for its representation of the deaf community but i hated the cheating plot ughhh why?!?! Now Lola is a good example of how you set up an antagonist unlike Kato who is just dull. Lola was a mess truly she could be so mean, hurtful, out of control and dangerous towards even herself but we sorta of understood how screwed up her mind was. The need to hang onto an addiction even if it was destroying her. I find her story to be pretty accurate to that of someone that is an addict. Its raw, depressing, hopeless at points and so frustrating. 

My biggest issue in the season is the weird mayla treatment, eliott (why was he there?), and not resolving the SA. Like I was hoping Maya would be the adult and be like “get help, get well, report that asshole and then lets talk about us after rehab” because Lola is in no state to love anyone that child doesnt even love herself but that last episode was so obnoxious. It was a le gang send off but lola was sorta of there luckily lamifex is coming back the new writers said so lets see and they confirmed either s7 or s8 is a woc lead and one of the writers is a woc so lets see what happens. I watch all the skam seasons so I know am watching out but wtfock s4 may go down as the worst season ever produced and that hurts me to say......its hurts me so much.

Borderlands 3

So I just beat Borderlands 3 and before I kept telling people that it's a perfect game but the story sucked. I still believe this after I've finished the game. I can explain why, such as the npc characters acting very brain dead and making some dumb decisions but I don't want to spoil it too much.

In short I just want to say the gameplay, visuals, how fun it is to be a character with multiple abilities is a bigger improvement from the last game, Borderlands 2, but at the same time it is not better than Borderlands 2. Story wise I atleast believe that it failed and it was just a mess rather than trying to focus on an actual problem. Handsome Jack was a great villain and he even had a past that we got to see who even had some cruel comedy to throw at us, basically it defined the game, meanwhile the twins it didn't really seem threatening and it was a bunch of information thrown into your face. You would think after the amount if time they put into the game they'd atleast give you time to learn about everything but nah.

SPOILERS HERE DONT SCROLL DOWN

Also a thing that pissed me off and was super pointless was the cause and how Maya died. She literally died because of an obnoxious kid who she brought on as an apprentice who ignored any warning that was given to her. Maya literally died so Ava could have a spotlight in Borderlands 3 when us as the audience literally just met her and most likely already have a bad taste from that. In my opinion it was really dumb and I didn't like how they went through with that. Just imagine killing a main character everyone has loved and played for a while just so a random npc can get attention. I brought up multiple ways Maya lives and all of them start with "if the kid wasn't there". I don't understand why anyone likes the kid or even defends her. At the end Lilith literally gave over the command of the Crimson Raiders to a kid instead of anyone else. It's a very annoying route.

Another thing to add, the last boss fight with Tyreen was so underwhelming and dumb. She's portrayed as this powerful siren who's then fused with a powerful vault monster who can supposedly destroy stars. The fight just consisted of hitting the back of her head where an eye is at to then crit her weak spot and take away a third of her health every 3 minutes. It was super easy and bland like the damn vault monster in Borderlands 2 was way bigger and way more difficult for gods sake lmao. I thought it'd be a big showdown considering it's the first time our vault hunters actually interact with her but no I underestimated how great it'd be.

NANAY Duties

I accompanied my daughter to school since mum went to province to attend our relatives wedding. Waiting for my 3 year old nursery student for 3hrs and 30 minutes, its really boring kaya heto I'm writing my blog.

I chose to resigned from being a Call center agent para magabayan si Bebeng, be with her at all time, and waiting for her is one of my responsibility.

Later, paguwi sa bahay papatulugin ko muna siya then linis ng bahay. Hirap magadjust, lalo nasanay ako magwork at ispend ang araw or gabi sa office.

As a first time mum, dami pako kinakapa at kaylangan matutunan. I'm teaching her to write, kahit papano marunong na siya, kaso I really dont know how to teach her to read. Basics of reading kaya heto on search paren ako sa youtube or any journals or articles for parenting tips.

I'm trying my best not to allow her to play ipad or any gadgets for her to enjoy her youth. minsan lang siya magiging bata and I want her to enjoy every second of it, pero minsan talaga she's crying just to play ipad! Kaya sa bihirang chance, I allow her to play maximum time of 2hrs lang. Gladly, she knows her time limit naman. after maglaro, sleep na kami.

Oh no! umuulan. naku, I didnt bring my umbrella with me. sana, sa uwian wala ng ulan, ituloy nalang ni Mr. ulan mmya pag karating namin ng bahay. Hinto kana please.

Ano kaya dinner mamaya?

On diet ako (tinatry ko) pero kaylangan ko magluto ng rice at ulam for her kasi maya't maya niya sinasabi, "Nanay, Ryeli is Hungry." HAHAHA. madalas ko siya inaasar, "Ryeli has big tummy!" tas mapipikon siya sasabihin nya, "Nanay, Ryeli don't have big tummy! Dont say that!" Hahaha. nakakatuwa. magaling siya magisip ng paraan sa mga bagay bagay at magreason out. Mahilig rin siya mangasar at sobrang harot! sarap maging bata.

As Ryeli's Nanay, I also dont allow her to eat sweets such as candies, chocolates, softdrinks, juice, cold water and chips. boring kong nanay no? pinapayagan ko siya sobrang bihira lang para di siya maging ignorante sa mga lasa ng mga yon, pero yun na yon. Why? healthy living. para di rin masira teeth niya, actually, sira na teeth niya dahil sa dodo (yes, you read it right, at 3 she's still a bottle feeder). Pero, I slowly train her to drink milk on her cup. Dapat matagal na siya na train para doon, but since I'm a working mum before and her grandmother (my mum) is taking care of her, siyempre spoiled sa lola. kesyo bata pa daw si Bebeng para magdrink ng milk sa cup kasi Gr.1 daw ako nagdododo pako! ayoko siya matulad saken! Hahaha!

1 year old si Bebeng, she's not wearing diapers na, I trained her to pee and poop on her potty train bowl. Naku! at first, mahirap! Naglagay ako ng plastic bag sa ilalim ng bedsheet namin at talagang hinayaan ko siya mabasa ng wiwi niya ng 2 nights for her to feel irritates pag mabasa ng wiwi pag di siya magsabi saken na wiwi siya at para maorasan at malaman ko ano ginagawa niya pag nawiwiwi siya, after 2 nights, pag malikot na siya I wake her up to ask if she wants to pee. Kahit nakapikit ang mata binubuhat ko siya sa potty train niya to pee.

As to her pupu, Naku! We spent hours sitting on her potty train waiting for her to poop. nandidiri kasi siya nung una, at di pa siya sanay. but as she grows older and days passed, she will get her potty training to pee or poop. She will just call me or my mum if she's done pooping to wash her.

Sa food ganun din. I started teaching her to eat solid foods after her 1st birthday naman, kasi kontra si mum, kesyo tinitipid ko daw si Bebeng sa milk. Kahit nung first 3 days kontra talaga si mum kasi ba naman talagang ginugutom at tinitiis ko si Bebeng wag gawan ng milk niya para matuto siyang kumain. Slowly, she learned to eat solid foods. Her favorites: Fried rice, adobo, fish (any fish). Ikaw ang aawat sakanya sa pagkain. hehe. Di niya gusto ang pork. Pero as of this time, I'm teaching her to eat vegetables. And her favorite? Squash!! 😊

Oh. Its already time. Uwian na. I will continue my story again tomorrow, while waiting for her again. Hehe.

See yah!
