hmm so I’ll be honest I didn’t love When the Moon Hatched.. don’t get me wrong I love the idea of it but the actual story felt jolty and confusing and to be honest I didn’t know whether I was coming or going.. did anyone else get the same vibes? and I could do with some recommendations?
#I just couldn’t really follow along?#and I didn’t feel that lost in it#did anyone else feel this? or is it just me?#I really wanted to like it#and it’s not that big a book so I thought fuck it I’ll finish it#but I’m not fuming over the cliffhanger and needing the next book NOW#oh well#onto the next!#I think I’m going to give The Hidden Falling a go#it keeps coming up on tiktok😂#when the moon hatched

here’s my full review of the tortured poets department: the anthology by taylor swift. i’m just going to start off by saying this is a grown ass woman and a billionaire and if you believe her music is above reproach just because she embodies girlhood or you liked the album or whatever just keep it trucking because i get to say whatever i want here.
first here’s the songs i like:
the black dog (what girl hasn’t checked a location, i ask you?!?)
chloe or sam or sophia or marcus (it could be traffic sounds and my name being in the title will still make me like it)
the alchemy
clara bow (this one makes me go 🎀🧚🏻♀️💕)
thank you aimee (grandchild of mean)
the albatross
peter (really mostly just the ending)
the bolter
the manuscript
the smallest man who ever lived (i will never hate a song that is about how matty healy sucks)
i can do it with a broken heart (corny but i have already seen edits with it and the right edit could make me like any song plus certain parts remind me of yoyok)
guilty as sin?
my boy only breaks his favorite toys (specifically for the line “im queen of sandcastles he destroys” which i like)
but daddy love him (she’s real for saying cut the fucking whining)
fortnight (post malone’s positive affect on my enjoyment cannot be overstated)
now for my opinions:
many of the songs aren’t BAD just completely unmemorable like i remember nary a lyric or tune of cassandra or the prophecy or robin etc etc
jack antonoff should be strung up! the only good things he’s done are 1. melodrama by lorde, and 2. inspiring margaret by lana del rey (plus the occasional good taylor song like getaway car and sweet nothings but whatever) honestly the two have outgrown each other and their music apart is way more interesting than anything they do together. aaron dessner is a hero.
i have no technical issues with florida!!! but as someone who has spent quite a bit of time in florida it feels like someone romanticizing newark, new jersey and that feeling stretches so deep that not even florence + the machine could make me enjoy what is otherwise a really fun song
there must be something about british men bc people dating british guys write so american by olivia rodrigo and paper rings and people who have broken up with british guys write so long, london
who’s afraid of little old me feels like the perfect example of every criticism taylor gets. she is the most powerful voice in hollywood, is extraordinarily litigious, and has won in every way that matters but still she acts like every criticism of her is an attack on girlhood and feminism. like she is a grown woman writing “i’m just a girl” music about how not being universally adored is such a huge tragedy and it just feels so corny
i look in peoples windows and down bad are both songs i’m sure i’ll love two months from now
the line about 1830 without the racists is CRAZY. even without the racists that was not a good time!
overall a very weak album. it’s like she’s stuck in some sort of perma-youth where she is unable to mature beyond “all of my exes are either the devil or taylor lautner” and it shows how very insular her adulthood has been. she’s been famous her entire adult life and her music sounds like the kind of lyric a teenager writes in their notes app. like i don’t hate the music but it’s all just so extraordinarily mid. every song on this album could be on any other album of any other pop girlie and i wouldn’t blink. taylor is supposed to be one of the strongest lyricists of our time and we’re getting lyrics like “touch me while your bros play grand theft auto”
#taylor swift#the tortured poets department#the anthology#like i’m sorry taylor it’s a flop!#tayvis#i really wanted to like it#idk not super obsessed with it the way i thought id be#tbh i think she’s chasing the high of folklore here and it’s not working#folklore saved her career really#she was one flop from a vegas residency#and now every album is the most honest and vulnerable album ever!#and it’s all the same synth pop over lyrics that are like#you spit on my bones and left me there in the graveyard#all the while two songs later it’s like#now i DID cheat on you but im taylor swift so you should have expected it

I'm trying not to be too negative so all I'm gonna say is that I don't think that was a good collab for JK. The song itself has a very Justin Timberlake sound/feel to it which I'm fine with, but Jack Harlow needs to go. A lot of his lyrics made me cringe and just ick. I was kinda getting into the song and then it all left the more he rapped. I've read some people say there's an version with just JK and I sincerely hope that's true because I don't think I can bring myself to listen to the version with Jack again despite how much I wanna support JK.

Finished Tokyo Revengers, my feelings on it are complicated so this is getting a long review, First off before anything else that ending is pretty bad, somehow like 4 different people learned about/had the time powers in the last like 20 chapters for some reason. And yeah the ending was as bad as I’ve heard it was
This series isn’t all bad, in my mind it’s kinda like Jagaaaan in the sense that it’s pretty bad but it has some great parts. Those parts being Mikey and Draken, Draken just has an amazing design and he’s a cool guy not much else to say about him. And Mikey, he’s the only thing that kept me reading this, he’s the only character that got treated with the delicacy needed for characters in a good delinquent manga (at least that’s the word id choose there’s probably a better one). And also he’s kinda just like one of the only well written characters. The final praise I have for Tokyo Revengers, is the fact that it’s willing to kill characters.
Now for all of the bad stuff
First off just a few of the minor gripes I have, 1 these guys are all way too young. 2 the generations were super wacky just on a time scale wise. And I’m kinda reaching with 3 here but there’s a real lack of police here, especially since this takes place in 2007 a few years after some of the anti Bousouzoku laws were passed.
Now for my real problems with this series. One of my main gripes I had throughout reading it was the lack of buildup between and during arcs. Especially with the time travel stuff, it just felt like we were floating from plot point to plot point. Adding on to that, new characters just kept getting introduced right when they needed to serve a purpose, the most glaring example in my memory being Mucho? I think his name was, the 5th captain just shows up to kidnap Takemichi to build more drama for kisaki.
Speaking of kisaki, he did pretty well as a villain but when you think about him he’s kinda a mess story wise, we get no real driver for why he wants to ruin Manji until there’s that bs about him proposing to hina. And like apparently past him knows about that even if he isn’t a leaper. And like I got invested in his scheming and how he kept messing stuff up in the future and masterminding stuff. But like most of the things in this series,What’s the fucking point.
Tokyo revengers had legit potential, but it’s hampered by the fact that Wakui is just bad at writing. There’s even more stuff I could complain about but I’ve made my statement and criticisms clear. My rating for it is a 3-4/10
#tokyo revengers#I really wanted to like it#but it’s just bad#up there with Jagaaaan for one of the most disappointing series I’ve read#manga review

shit was fools paradise bad/not funny?? is it still worth going to see? i thought the trailer was good and wanted to see it but maybe it’s not all that
ok so i can’t give a fair criticism of it because i left like 20 minutes before it ended because i was so bored and uncomfortable. someone on tumblr said they liked the ending so maybe i would have liked it more if i stuck around, but i read a bunch of imdb user reviews before seeing it and most people said the ending was bad, so that informed my decision to leave. but yeah it didn’t get a single laugh out of me. which was crazy, because i laugh at everything and i find charlie very funny. but he just… wasn’t funny? which i didn’t even know he was capable of? i didn’t know he was capable of writing such flat satire either. i went on discount tuesday so i only paid $7.50 to see it and didn’t have anything better to do with my time so i don’t regret giving it a try and supporting charlie. but i don’t think it’s worth a regularly-priced movie ticket at all.
#i’m not good at analysis so i can’t explain exactly what it was that made the movie so bad#but it just made me kinda sad and disappointed for the rest of the day#i really wanted to like it#phoenix talks

Currently the cherry magic thai remake is not hitting for me. I really hoped I would like it.
First I realy loved the Japanese version and I was/am sceptical that they would try to make a remake. Because I did/do not see the necessity of it. The japanese version was realy good and was not made that long ago.
Second I love tay and I love seeing him in series also because of his personality and care for the job.
I’m not particularly fan of taynew as a couple, they are great friends and their chemistry worked for me in dark blue kiss because of the rivalry and friendship their relationship was build on.
(I might be extremely biased but I would have loved to see OffGun take this project instead, because I think the dynamic of achi and karan would have suited them better)
I hated the inner monologue in episode 2 while achi was ‘sleeping’ on the couch. Karan actually debating doing something while achi was asleep just rubbed me the wrong way. We are done with the icky cliche of ‘doing something to someone that is asleep’
They changed some more things from the Japanese version and not really for the better. But also they did not change enough for me to keep my focus while cherry magic japan is one of my favorite bls and I rewatch it on the regular.
#i really wanted to like it#we are still at episode 2 so a lot can happen#im just sad that i dont like it#i will continue to watch where its going#this makes me eo scared for my love mixup the remake#i think gemini snd fourth fit the story#but who knows at this point#thai bl#cherry magic the series#cherry magic thailand#tay tawan#taynew

so i finished it
i finished tron identity a few days ago and am not sure how to feel about it
it was nice to have some new piece of tron media but some thing just feels off (i am aware that is super vague but thats the best way i can describe it)
the art was cool i really liked the backgrounds the detail in them were super nice
i didnt vibe with the music that much it just didnt feel right apart from the odd piece
the story was confusing the writing was good it was just super convoluted
i hated the defragging mini game it was so poorly explained that i just had to bullshit my way through
it was super short which sucked i know it had so many choices but it was such a shame that we only had one crime to solve
so yeah i have super mixed feelings about this game sorry for making you read all of this nonsenses but i was super exited for this game to come out and now all i feel is a bit empty
end of line
#tron identity spoilers#not sure if it really counts as a spoiler but i will leave it like this#i really wanted to like it#but i cant lie and pretend to enjoy some thing i dont#i am trying my hardest not to compare it to 2.0 but its fucking hard#dont get me wrong 2.0 had its problems but i still love it

stuck between "psychological horror statement" and "objectively the funniest thing you could say to your real flesh and blood dad" in the father's day card aisle
#🐉#im not gonna send either of them to my dad because i value my peace and safety but i really was tempted by the second one#'why do you have to send a card to your dad i thought you hated that guy' well the thing is one time i forgot#when i was like. ten. and his reaction was not something i ever want to relive.

don't show him modern technology; it won't end well
bonus under the cut:
#i'm not sure if ford would really be interested in using the internet much#but i could see him wanting to look something up real quick and ending up reading something so outrageously wrong#that it pisses him off to the point that he gets into an argument about it lol#gravity falls#stan pines#stanley pines#stanford pines#digital art#my stuff#anyway i really don't like how this one turned out#but i don't feel like changing it#bc i already spent way more time on this than i actually wanted to#and i don't wanna look at it any longer

The world exists in such a baffling state of simultaneous sex-aversion and sex-hegemony. Every social platform on the internet is trying to banish sex workers to the shadow realm but I can't post a tweet without at least two bots replying P U S S Y I N B I O. People are self-censoring sex to seggs and $3× but every other ad you see is still filled with half-naked women. Rightwingers want queer people arrested for so much as existing in the same postal code as a child and are also drumming up a moral panic about how teenage boys aren't getting laid enough. I feel like I'm losing my mind.
#it's bad if you want i have sex it's also bad if you DON'T want to have sex#god forbid if you're a woman in a heterosexual marriage and aren't in the mood#that's 'withholding sex' and you're clearly abusive scum who should be divorced and left without any of your shared assets.#but if you DO have sex now you're a degenerate freak plotting for the downfall of western society#i don't know what to say i'm just so tired#politics#culture#queerphobia#lgbtqia#misogyny#<it's not the exclusive source but let's be honest sooo much of this is integral to the patriarchy#patriarchy needs access to an underclass they can treat like sex objects but they also don't want them to have any human rights#so sexuality is both obligatory and stigmatized#purity culture#i'm really struggling with tagging this because most of the appropiate tags would- in a beautiful twist of irony- get me booted off tumblr

one thing that took me embarrassingly long to learn is "sometimes when people say things, they will not be true."
I used to tell people about this revelation and they'd be like yeah.....duh.....but like, why wouldn't my base assumption be that you're communicating to me in a straightforward manner. anyway, I get scammed a lot.
#example: a 'friend' in middle school told me I should ask a guy out. she said 'he'll totally say yes'.#he did not. which was the obvious outcome#but it took me years to realize that she'd said that hoping to fuel some drama for her own entertainment.#ANOTHER EXAMPLE#a guy in college approached me saying that he'd been seeing me around campus but was always too shy to talk to me#and that he really wanted to get to know me#so I was like wow 🥺 romance 🥺 and hopped into bed with him#and afterward I was like what do you wanna do 😊 should we see a movie 😊 should we go out 😊#and he was like nope. byeeee.#and I realized I got bamboozled into sex#total shocked pikachu face#I'm still not the best at this tbh. I'm like 'why would this person lie to me. lying is bad'.#anyway this is why I not looking forward to entering the dating world again#DONT BAMBOOZLE ME I'M GULLIBLE
