Not the Type: 2/7

Thanks again to the mods of the @captainswanmoviemarathon​ for putting this event together! Also thanks to @hookedonapirate​ for her beta skills. For my non-American readers, I hope I explained everything in this chapter, especially bust-throughs, adequately enough. I don't know that I've ever seen that aspect of cheerleading portrayed in a movie before (though I could be wrong). But if you search google images for bust-throughs, you'll see pictures of what I'm talking about.

Summary: Emma Swan first notices him in the stands at the Friday night football game. She can tell right away Killian Jones is not the football type. Then again, she’s not the cheerleader type either, but here she is with pom poms. Life hasn’t ever gone the way Emma planned. Lately, that’s actually been a good thing. Maybe Killian Jones is a good thing, too.

My loose Captain Swan AU of the movie Bring it On

At the next game, he wasn’t in the stands. Not that Emma was looking or anything. And she wasn’t disappointed. Nope, not at all.

“Earth to Emma!”

She jumped and turned to Ruby, who was squatting with her hands cupped in front of her. Ashley was across from the brunette, doing the same.

“We haven’t got all day,” Ruby grumbled.

“Sorry,” Emma told them hurriedly. She braced her hands on their shoulders as Ariel, her spotter, came behind her and grasped her waist. Emma jumped up into the girls’ cupped hands. They dipped with her, bending their knees together, then popped her up to chin level, with a light assist from Ariel. Behind them, another stunt group lifted Jasmine up above their heads. Down below, Mary Margaret and another girl pulled on the ropes to hoist the giant bust-through to an upright position. The bust-through they had spent hours making last Sunday afternoon, only for it to get obliterated in mere minutes. Making the bust-throughs for the game and the posters to hang around the school would take away from much needed practice time, so they came in on Sundays to do it instead. Emma had chafed at it initially - they all did, really - but the girls ended up having a blast every week. It still wasn’t fair that they were taken away from their athletic training to do 1950s crap for the boys, but oh well.

When the bust-through post was close enough, Emma grabbed it. Farther up, Jasmine held it as well. On the other side of the bust-through, the rest of the squad was doing the same. The stadium speakers suddenly thrummed with Queen’s “We Will Rock You,” and the fans surged to their feet. Below Emma, the football team thundered past with a feral yell before tearing through the yards of poster paper. Ariel braced her thighs and Emma tightened her core so she wouldn’t fall. Every damn time, she felt her life flash before her eyes. The only comfort came in her absolute trust that Ariel would catch her. She discarded the post, and behind her Ariel counted out loud, “1, 2, 3, hup!”

Ruby and Ashley bent their knees, then pushed through with their arms to pop Emma up into the air. She kept her core tight, her knees together, toes pointed, and her arms out in the shape of a “T” so the three girls could catch her neatly. It was a simple stunt, actually, and not as high or dangerous as most Emma was used to. They just didn’t usually do stunts on hard packed turf with twenty large high school boys rushing past.

Half the girls ran around as fast as possible to pick up all the bits of poster paper, while the other half hoisted up the pvc pipes they used for the posts and rolled up the ropes that held the bust-through. Those had to be reused every time.

Arms loaded with crumpled up poster paper that smelled of glue and tempera paint, Emma raced off the field as fast as she could before the opposing team came running out not caring if they bowled over a five foot five, ninety pound cheerleader.

She really hated football season.

The girls shoved the remains of the bust-through into the trash, then slid the pvc pipes and ropes underneath the bleachers to put in the cheer supply closet later. Then they lined up on the sidelines for the kickoff, their poms shaking in the air.

“Gooooooo Knights!”

Like every other game, the marching band followed the kick off with the school fight song, and Emma was busy high kicking when she saw him. Killian stood out like a sore thumb - the only one in the student section not chanting, “fight, fight, fight!” Instead, he was lounging back against the bleacher behind him, glancing around at his fellow students with a mocking expression upon his face. Emma felt her lips curl up into a smile - probably the first time she didn’t have to force one during this exhausting Rockette’s-style dance. Her legs burned as usual when the song finally ended, but it didn’t bother her quite as much when Killian caught her eye and winked. She bit the inside of her cheek to stop her smile from growing and spun away from him with a tilt to her chin.

“Push em back!” Mary Margaret, their captain, yelled. “Ready? Go!”

The girls all chanted together, going through the motions of the cheer. “Push em back, push em back, defense push em waaaaay back!” They went through it twice before efficiently moving into their stunt groups. Ruby and Ashley tossed Emma into the air this time, with Ariel giving her an extra boost. In the air, Emma twisted her body in a layout, the rush of it sending adrenaline through her veins. It only lasted a moment before her stunt group caught her in their arms, but Emma would never tire of the thrill that the brief moment of weightlessness brought her.

Emma popped out of the dismount with her arms above her head. “Go Knights!”

She never had to fake enthusiasm when she got to do a stunt like that. Her eyes caught Killian’s again. Both eyebrows arched, he managed a half bow from his seat in the stands, both arms outstretched dramatically. Emma shook her head with laughter, though his obvious admiration of her skills sent a thrill through her. Nevertheless, she rolled her eyes at him.

Just then, Emma heard the loud grunts and collisions of a particularly nasty tackle. The crowd gasped, and next to Emma, Mary Margaret dropped her pom poms.

“David!” she cried out, then her hands flew to her mouth.

Emma let out a cry too when she saw her brother lying motionless on the field. Instinctively, she reached for his girlfriend, and Mary Margaret threaded her arm through hers. The cheerleaders all took a knee, but Emma and Mary Margaret never let go of each other.

“Get up, get up,” Emma whispered.

David started moving his legs, and the girls let out a sigh of relief. He was able to get up without the aid of the coaches hovering over him, and the crowd cheered. He had a slight limp at first, but his leg must have just been stiff because his stride soon became normal. He took off his helmet and grinned and waved at the crowd. The cheerleaders stood again and waved their poms above their heads in celebration. Next to Emma, Mary Margaret was still shaking a little bit.

“He scared me to death,” she told Emma.

“I know,” Emma replied, and a shiver went down her spine as she thought about how bad it could have been. David was always pointing out that she and Mary Margaret could fall out of a stunt and break their necks just as easily as he could, but it felt different. Football injuries just felt way more common, and then there were all those retired pros with neurological problems. David said that playing at the college level was unlikely since Storybrooke High was just a double A team, and she was secretly glad. The less he smashed his brains in, the better.

David was the big brother she never knew she needed, accepting her, teasing her, and irritatingly trying to protect her from the moment her prickly thirteen year old self had arrived in his home.

He had also sat on the sidelines at how many gymnastics classes? Classes she had dreamed of taking since she watched Gabby Douglas win the Olympic gold medal on TV when she was eight years old. Then, when Emma was twelve, Simone Biles became her hero. A former foster kid winning Olympic gold? Emma didn’t think such a thing was possible, but Biles gave her hope. Then Ruth Nolan made that hope reality.

“Whatever your dreams are, Emma,” she had told her, “I’ll invest in them. It’s what a mother does.”

Emma was behind, of course. She’d had school friends as she grew up who taught her the basics on the playground - handstands, cartwheels, back walkovers. She’d even learned to do back handsprings in the backyard of one of her foster homes. Still, her goal to make the high school gymnastics team seemed almost impossible. Then she read about Misty Copeland, the star principal dancer for the American Ballet Theater who didn’t start dancing until . . . thirteen. Surely, if she could defy the common thought that girls had to start ballet at three or four to achieve greatness, then Emma could defy the same thought in gymnastics. And with the support of Ruth and David, she had. She’d made the gymnastics team as a freshman at Storybrooke High.

Then, after one amazing season on the team, they had received the devastating news: the state of Maine was cutting high school gymnastics completely. Ignorant politicians spun it, of course. There would still be a state meet each year where gymnasts would represent their schools in individual competition. It would just be privatized, the politicians explained, saving taxpayers thousands of dollars. Privatized was a fancy way of saying that only gymnasts in clubs at private gyms could compete. Clubs that cost an extravagant amount of money. Money that Ruth Nolan simply didn’t have.

And that was how Emma Swan ended up a cheerleader.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“You and Mary Margaret still wanna stay over at my house?” Ruby asked after the game as she slung her cheer bag over one shoulder.

“Of course we do,” Mary Margaret replied. “Right Emma?”

“Yeah sure,” Emma said vaguely as she pulled the rubber band out of her hair and shook out the loose waves. Cheer ponytails were so tight they gave her a headache. Of course, as a gymnast, she’d had to put her hair in an equally tight, equally hairsprayed bun. She rubbed at her scalp. Maybe she should chop her hair off like Mary Margaret. No, scratch that, she didn’t have the flawless skin and cherubic face to pull that off like MM did.

“Are you sure?” Ruby asked with a glint in her eyes. “Killian lives there now, you know.”

Emma rolled her eyes. “I’m familiar with what a foster brother is. Of course I know he lives with you.”

“Just wanted to be sure you could handle the sexual tension,” Ruby said, bumping Emma teasingly with her hip as they headed to the parking lot.

“For the last time, there is no sexual tension between me and Killian!”

“You did have cheer sex with him.”

“Mary Margaret! I thought you didn’t buy into that crap!”

“Did I just say that out loud?” MM’s face was crimson.

Ruby threw her head back and guffawed. “Denial isn’t just a river in Egypt, Emma.”

“God, if you two don’t stop . . . I’ll . . . I’ll . . .”

“You’ll what?”

Emma grasped for a good threat. “Smother you with a pom pom!” she finally blurted out, waving the one she still grasped in her hand in Ruby’s face.

MM literally collapsed against the side of Ruby’s car in hysterics, and even Emma lost it. It wasn’t really that funny, but they were all simultaneously exhausted and electrified from the game. Once they calmed down, they tossed their stuff in Ruby’s trunk. There was only a pleasant chill to the air this early in the season, so Ruby put the top of her convertible down, and Emma leaned contentedly against the headrest as the wind rushed past. The football team had won tonight’s game, and there was a spirit of celebration in the air as Ruby drove through the parking lot and out onto the street in front of Storybrooke High. When kids and even adults noticed a red convertible with three cheerleaders in red and white, they raised their fists in the air and shouted, “Go knights!”

“You know, it would mean a lot more if they were cheering for our victory instead of someone else’s,” Ruby commented dryly as they cruised through Storybrook’s only light after it turned green.

Mary Margaret leaned between them from the backseat, which surprised Emma, since the brunette was usually all “safety first.”

“Well, that’s all gonna change come December 5th ladies when we-”

Ruby lifted one fist in the air as she joined Mary Margaret in her cry of, “TAKE STATE!!!”

“Now wait a second, slow down,” Emma cautioned. “We have to place at regionals first.”

Ruby rolled her eyes. “Please, Emma, Storybrooke has dominated regionals since we were all in kindergarten.”

“Well, if there’s one thing gymnastics has taught me, it’s to not get cocky, so don’t jinx it, okay?”

“We also need to have confidence,” Mary Margaret added, giving Emma’s shoulder a squeeze.

“Confidence, not pride. Now sit back and put on your damn seat belt.”

“Intense much, Emma?”

Ruby tilted her chin and practically howled at the moon. “Someone needs to. GET. LAID.”

Emma lunged over and clapped her hand over Ruby’s mouth before she could add anything further. “Don’t. Say it.”

“God, Emma, she’s driving!”

Ruby pinched Emma in the side with her free hand, sending the blonde jerking back to the passenger’s side. “Why Emma, I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Killian Jones knew that Emma Swan was just down the hall from his bedroom - keenly aware of it. Just as he had been aware of her since the night he’d first seen her. He had been completely honest when he told her that it was her expression and not her body that had drawn him in. If he’d wanted to ogle enticing figures in short skirts, he would have just been staring at the entire squad since the game started. But it was Emma Swan’s clearly irritated, flashing green eyes that had managed to tear his gaze away from Tolkien. He wasn’t sure what she had against the marching band’s rendition of “Louie, Louie,” but the hatred clearly ran deep.

He clenched his jaw as laughter floated down the hall from Ruby’s room, and he adjusted the knobs on his guitar effects pedal to distract him. Granny had been abundantly clear that he was to stay far away from Ruby’s friends.

He was a little offended at Granny’s lecture, to be honest. As if he were a dog in heat unable to ignore the scent of females.

Killian strummed his electric, then adjusted the feedback again. Halfway through Pearl Jam’s “Jeremy,” he’d pushed thoughts of Emma Swan far away.

Until he glanced up in the middle of a frankly ridiculous, out of control guitar solo to find her standing there in his doorway, slack-jawed and staring. She was tantalizing in a teeny, tiny pair of shorts and a spaghetti strap tank top, her blonde hair piled up on her head in a messy bun. He managed not to drop his guitar and flashed her a lopsided grin as he continued to play.

“Emma!”

The girl in question jumped a foot in the air, clutching her hands that held a purple toothbrush to her chest. “Shit, Ruby!”

“What are you doing?” Killian’s foster sibling asked from the hallway.

“I, uh . . . went to brush my teeth.”

“Um, the bathroom is that way.”

“Right, right, I knew that,” Emma mumbled.

Killian winked at her before she scurried away, still strumming. So maybe he wasn’t the only one who felt the delicious tension between them. This was a pleasant turn of events . . .

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Emma grumbled at herself under her breath as she squirted toothpaste onto her toothbrush. She couldn’t believe Killian had caught her staring - practically drooling - over him. The way he’d smirked at her as he continued to play left no question that he knew she was checking him out. She was pretty sure Ruby knew it, too. Yet in her defense, how was a girl supposed to ignore an attractive guy when he was playing the guitar?

Emma started to brush, a little too vigorously at first. She was irritated with herself, but she didn’t need to scrub her gums raw, so she slowed down. She almost jumped out of her skin when Killian came through the open bathroom door behind her, but she calmed herself before he noticed. He winked at her as he retrieved his toothbrush from the cup by the sink and got some toothpaste. Emma arched a brow at him as she continued to brush. Somehow, the idiot managed to smile at her charmingly even as he worked the toothbrush around his mouth. She rolled her eyes and looked at her reflection instead, but that didn’t work either. His gaze only found her reflection in the mirror, and he waggled his eyebrows at her. She almost choked on her toothpaste.

Then he spit, rinsed, and ran his hand across his mouth in exaggerated, satisfied fashion. “Ahh,” he said, then bowed to her and left.

Emma scowled at her own reflection in the mirror. Stupid attractive eyebrows. No one was supposed to look that good brushing his teeth. She finished brushing, rinsed, then headed back down the hall to Ruby’s room. Her friends stopped chatting the minute she walked in.

“What?”

Ruby arched a brow. “Please, Emma. I caught you drooling over Killian when you were supposed to be brushing your teeth.”

Mary Margaret pointed an accusing finger. “And you’re smiling.”

Emma rolled her eyes as she tossed her toothbrush into her overnight bag. “So I’m smiling. So what?”

“So, you don’t normally walk around smiling. It’s not the natural resting state of your face.”

Emma laughed as she plopped down on Ruby’s bed with her friends and grabbed some potato chips. “The natural resting state of my face?”

“Yeah,” Ruby explained. “Take MM here. She naturally smiles. Just walks around smiling. You - not so much.”

“Okay, fine,” Emma muttered around a chip, “so I think he’s cute. Are you happy now?”

“Very.”

Emma lifted a hand the minute she saw Mary Margaret’s face. “I think he’s cute. That’s it. I’m not saying I like him or that I want to date him, just that objectively I can admit he’s cute.”

“Puppies are cute, Emma,” Mary Margaret pointed out, “that guy in there is not just cute.”

“How is he your foster brother anyway, Ruby?” Emma asked, hoping to steer the conversation somewhere else.

“Oh, that. Well, Granny knew his mom from way back. They used to come visit every summer when we were kids. Anyways, when Killian’s dad left, he asked if she’d take him.”

Emma blinked. “Wait, his dad just dumped him here? And where’s his mom?”

“She died of cancer a few years back.” Ruby shrugged. “And I don’t know, his dad wanted to go back to England or something. Killian gets pissed whenever I bring him up, so I’m not really sure. He has a brother too, but Liam’s in the Navy.”

Emma fell silent as she grabbed more chips. As she munched, she tried to imagine being sent to a new town, new school so your dad could . . . what? Live his own life with no responsibilities? It was pretty screwed up.

The sound of an electric guitar filled the apartment above Granny’s diner once again, and Ruby let out a huff of frustration as she stomped to her door.

“Kill, seriously? Can you stop with the guitar already?”

“I live here too,” Killian shouted back.

“Both of you shut up so I can sleep,” Granny yelled at them both.

Mary Margaret and Emma caught each other’s eye and burst out laughing. Ruby groaned then slammed the door shut.

“I’m serious, Emma. If he starts dating you, maybe he won’t be around here so much, driving me insane!”

“That’s not very romantic, Rubes,” MM scolded.

“And remember, Emma Swan doesn’t date.”

“Emma Swan needs to stop referring to herself in the third person.”

Emma didn’t have her poms anymore, so she threw a pillow at Ruby’s head instead.

The Boys: SN1.7

(DISCLAIMER: MY OPINION IS MY OWN AND CAN BE DEEMED INVALID TO THOSE WHO DON’T CARE FOR IT.)

I’m gonna dive into this like Trey Songz...

                        THE SELF-PRESERVATION SOCIETY

We’re starting off with a flashback my dudes.

BECCA looks like she is just..... flabbergasted. 

BUTCHER just doing the usual stocking

“Not much crime in Sandusky. I mean we’re not a shithole like Akron.“ *chuckles* - HOST

DEEPER: A MEMOIR

A-TRAIN has the realist brother in the game rt

PSA: HOMELANDER HAS RALLIED THE TROOPS

BLACK NOIR is the chilliest dude. 

“We’re not even the seven anymore were down to five. I mean we’re dropping like fucking flies.” - HOMELANDER

STARLIGHT is all shaken up now

“Keep those hands down by your sides missy.” - HOMELADNER 

HOMELANDER really is full of shit saying that STARLIGHT wants to make this whole dilemma between her and THE DEEP a “single ladies moment” SMH 

LOL the camera pan to BLACK NOIR

Oh so now MAEVE wants to stand up for STARLIGHT 

MAEVE can fucking take this guy but she’s mentally not capable of doing it.

HIS NAME IS FUCKIN’ MARVIN

TRANSITION SCENE: HOMELANDER & STILLWELL

Now he’s bringing up BECCA

She clearly doesn’t give 2 fucks about this woman.

“I just assumed she quit.” - STILLWELL

She’s such a fucking liar. When someone is presumed to be missing or dead you do feel some type of concern. And if BECCA had the same job as ASHLEY then definitely knew something was up.

DID Y’ALL SEE HER FUCKING STOMACH NGLOW!!!!

All that goddamn blood on the floor crazy ass shit 

ICONIC DIALOGUE

DOC - “When I raise subjects without there mothers they become violent, aggressive, downright hateful. You should’ve been raised with a family who loved you. Not in a cold lab with doctors.”

HOMELANDER - “And yet I turned out great.”

DOC - “When I think of what it’s done to you and what you can now do to everyone else. *sighs* I’m sorry.”

HOMELANDER - “I don’t want your fucking apology.” 

DOC - “All this is my fault.”

HOMELANDER - “What do you want? What?! You want forgiveness? Now... after you raised me like a fucking lab rat?! No too little too late.”

I’m sorry for the lone dialogue but I needed to post this because it shows insight on how JOHN became to be the way he is now... (but with that being said I would like to see some scene of him when he was younger so we can truly feel it.)

He shouldn’t have fuckin’ said that...

ICONIC DIALOGUE

STILLWELL - “I’m sorry I’m afraid I’m not following.”

SUSAN - “You and your corporation are fucked. Unequvically unalaterally fucked. How was that? Was that clealier for you??”

BRUH HER FUCKIN’ FACE WHEN THE COMPOUND V WAS OUT

wow it was like that was perfect timing 

“Naqib means Captain. We believe it’s his supe name” - WORKER 

BUTCHER REALLY SHOT THIS CHICK IN HER CHEST TWICE!!!!!!!

___________

Hey, I don’t know if I said this before but I do all of this on my laptop. So if you’re looking at it from your phone or any other mobile device it’s going to look pretty different when it comes to the layout of the words. Just want y’all to know that just because this is the second to last episode doesn’t mean that you should just forget that EVERYONE’S A CRITIC WHEN THEIR OPINION MATTERS THE LEAST…

[nyrator]

smash nerding time

good on them for actually adding Castlevania, and so much, I still need to play it but it’s always been a series that’s interested me (even a reference to Kid Dracula, mannn)

also Chrom which okay I guess, also Dark Samus which I’m kind of impressed at, good job Metroid you got people promoting your series again (a series I still need to play whoops, I love Metroidivanias and yet haven’t played a Castlevania or a Metroid...), also for assist trophies Ashley deconfirmed which I’m amazed people ever expected her, Krystal got in for all those she panders to, and also Shovel Knight? ‘kay. Got some Monster Hunter rep too, neat, really feels fanservice-y which is good for this kind of game.

also lots of stages that I wanted are in, didn’t see Pokefloats yet or Hanenbow which to me are classics, but might have missed them- MP3 player be nice, music-per-series be nice, stage melding is interesting, and thank god for the ability to turn off stage hazards

items look scary and aggravating so hm, not sure if they’d bother adding in all the previous items but I miss the fan and stuff. Smash 4′s items all rubbed me the wrong way for some reason but I loved items in Brawl.

menu looks neat, not too concerned about the mystery mode but probably some Adventure Mode/board game mode thing, though mannn I miss the Brawl layout, back when you didn’t have to go through like three menus to get to Solo, everything important was right on the front page and in the Solo menu was this

so clean, so nice, not like Smash 4′s ridiculous

oh vault’s in here instead of on the main menu, group is now separated from solo instead of just being like “press start to join”, nyehhhhh they could have easily made it so that everything was one page away from the main menu but nooo

... anyway

they added K.Rool which I’m surprised at, but mannn, that Dedede, what a fantastic joke, I love it, I can see that being used as a meme for years to come for any character people ask for in Smash.

basically the only surprise left they have is probably Banjo-Kazooie, I’m almost willing to bet on it, especially with the Rare-centric DK stuff they have now. Wouldn’t also be surprised at another Kirby rep at this rate in some form, people always clamoring for Waddle Dee.

so of my list of want/expect

want (with little to no chance of happening):

Quote (Cave Story/original indie rep)

Waluigi (assist)

Black Shadow (to replace Ganondorf’s moveset)

expect:

Bomberman (assist)

Simon Belmont (confirmed)

Banjo-Kazooie (???)

oh yeah as for my personal ranking Brawl>Melee>=4U>=43DS>64, solely based on nostalgia and how comfortable it is to play (aka N64 is so hard for me to play with that controller, also 3DS is the better version but on a tiny screen that hurts my eyes and a tiny system that hurts my hands to play on, so nyeh)

edit: oh right I also wouldn’t mind Travis Touchdown as highly unlikely as he is

Jessica Kerr is amazing. I need to add her to my must watch list. This talk helped me to realize that I need to think about my automation as a partner that can communicate back to me just as easily as I can tell it what to do.

Java Futures, Early 2019 Edition - Brian Goetz - YouTube

Brian Goetz and the rest of the Java team are, as I say whenever I get the chance, an inspiration. I love watching him thoughtfully explore how to adopt the most powerful features from other more experimental technology into the bedrock of this platform.

So much of what I do is this kind of work. Making engineering safer, faster, and easier at the tooling level. I liked this talk especially because of the adoption strategy that they present.

"Data Driven UIs, Incrementally" by Yaron Minsky - YouTube

This talk is really well done and completely outside of my circle of competence which are usually some of my favorite and most fruitful talks to watch. What's presented essentially is how to have highly performant, extremely data-intensive UIs functionally.

"Hackett: a metaprogrammable Haskell" by Alexis King - YouTube

Another relatively left-field talk for me. I love the marriage of metaprogramming and type theory. I still want to explore a language with an actual robust type system.

"Justice For Sale" by Brittany Wald - YouTube

Mass incarceration is a problem. Brittany Wald wants to apply technology to eliminate the gaps between those who can afford justice and those who can't.

"Tree-sitter - a new parsing system for programming tools" by Max Brunsfeld - YouTube

All I want to know is when support for this is landing in Emacs. It's a really intriguing approach to parsing.

"A Tale of Two Asyncs: Open Source Language Design in Rust and Node.js" by Ashley Williams - YouTube

I love the concept of genealogical analysis since I think it fosters intellectual humility. The bold 'rationalism' of the enlightenment is a blight on the land. I'm also a sucker for software history dives.

"Contracts For Getting More Programs Less Wrong" by Rob Simmons - YouTube

I'm a big fan of contracts and they're something I wish I had time to explore more.

"Performance Matters" by Emery Berger - YouTube

This is really one of the better talks I've ever seen. What a presentation! It also, of course, brings to mind It Takes Awhile to Create Nothing by Ron Jeffries. Learn all about how layout can affect performance and how you can apply rigor to engineer around it. Also Coz seems quite neat.

"A Practical Look at Performance Theory" by Kavya Joshi - YouTube

"A Box of Chaos: The Generative Artist's Toolkit" by Benjamin Kovach - YouTube

Another from left field. Some of the art was quite beautiful and I love the idea of programmer as curator in this space (and possibly many other AI spaces).

"The Glitching Hour" by Amy Wibowo - YouTube

"Understanding Microservices with Distributed Tracing" by Lita Cho - YouTube

Upping our observability game is top of mind.

"Observability: Superpowers for Developers" by Christine Yen - YouTube

"Beyond traces: the insights in trace aggregates" by Daniela Miao - YouTube

"Freeing the software that runs our elections" by Roan Kattouw - YouTube

This talk made me think, as I often do, of whether I should be using my software engineering career to be doing something other than helping people with a lot of money take more money from people who have less money.

"Isolation without Containers" by Tyler McMullen - YouTube

This talk reminded me of a tweet by Jessie Frazelle about how a complex istio+knative feature can be accomplished in just a few lines of bash using standard linux tech. So much of 'progress' in tech is someone just ignoring or being ignorant of how something already works and going and making some framework or tool for it with all the bugs that have been fixed in the intervening 15 years since the feature that already did it was introduced.

"Moving from 1 to N regions: an open retrospective" by Andrew Bloomgarden - YouTube

This is literally my job right now. I need to take some more detailed notes about this one and apply them. I really appreciate the 'open retro' format of this talk.

"Git from the Ground Up" by Safia Abdalla - YouTube

Can anyone resist watching a talk on git internals?

"Building Senior Engineers" by Dalton Mitchell - YouTube

This talk really hit home. I have rarely seen mentorship done well and most companies I've worked for have prioritized hiring engineers that can just 'plug and play' (which never really works out anyway) rather than focusing on growing the engineers they need.

"Alda's dynamic relationship with Clojure" by Dave Yarwood - YouTube

Watching weather data become sound was so much fun.

"Safety in Chaos: Forming Realistic Failure Hypotheses" by Subbu Allamaraju - YouTube

Chaos Engineering is something that I want to get into asap.

"Uptime 15,364 days - The Computers of Voyager" by Aaron Cummings - YouTube

This talk was an incredible amount of fun. I want to be friends with the presenter. It immediately made me think of Russ Olsen's "To the Moon!" which I was lucky enough to see live.

"Correctness proofs of distributed systems with Isabelle" by Martin Kleppmann - YouTube

I want to be able to reach for correctness proofs for particularly important problems. I'm a pragmatist at heart and I think the number of things this is really important for are quite small but having the tool in my toolbox would be amazing. It immediately makes me think of Testing the Hard Stuff and Staying Sane by John Hughes.

"Better Integration Tests for Performance Monitoring" by Maude Lemaire - YouTube

I love the idea of testing in production. Performance regressions as integration tests is a really neat idea.

"Meander: Declarative Explorations at the Limits of FP" by Jimmy Miller - YouTube

Declarative programming is a recurring theme in my tech exploration, possibly because the Clojure community at large is pretty obsessed with it. Having just read through The Art of PostgreSQL I can say that believing that you can write a better algorithm is almost always hubris. Meander immediately made me think of specter although the speaker took pains to differentiate them.

It also reminded me of an old idea I had to use example data as the query interface.

Keynote: Collective Problem Solving: Music, Science, Software - Jessica Kerr - YouTube

This is my kind of talk. Jessica Kerr goes an a discipline melding tear to sell her new term for the way we develop software in partnership with each other and our automation.

Rust: A Language for the Next 40 Years - Carol Nichols - YouTube

I want to learn Rust at some point, just like I want to learn Go. I'm especially intrigued by Rust's governance model. I wonder how that will shake out over the years.

Cup of Jo’s Joanna Goddard on Being One of the First “Mom Bloggers”

http://fashion-trendin.com/cup-of-jos-joanna-goddard-on-being-one-of-the-first-mom-bloggers/

Cup of Jo’s Joanna Goddard on Being One of the First “Mom Bloggers”

At four in the morning on May 25, 2010, between contractions that would lead to the birth of her first son, Joanna Goddard left a voicemail for her editor at Glamour.com: “I won’t be able to post tomorrow.” Her son was two weeks early, which meant her last day with the Condé Nast website was two weeks early, too. It was sooner than she’d expected to stop working for someone else and make her blog, CupofJo.com, her full-time focus, but life isn’t always perfect. And that’s kind of Joanna Goddard’s brand.

It’s either fate or a small industry that finds me sitting across the table from her in 2017: Cup of Jo was the first blog I ever heard of. A boss of mine, back in my intern days, was obsessed with her ability to engage readers. Meanwhile, I had yet to comprehend the power of the internet as a platform for writers, and for community. So I started reading.

That summer eventually led me to where I am now, writing for a website where it’s technically considered working to procrastinate by hanging out in the comments. It’s also what led me, I suppose, to this sunny room in a shared workspace in Brooklyn, face-to-face with Joanna Goddard, who has just offered me cookies. (I say no then regret it immediately.) We are “email friends” but have never met; she shares our site’s stories, we share hers. This is long overdue. Thankfully, when I pitched her an interview about her career as an early-internet-adopting “mom blogger,” she said yes. Also thankfully: for as kind and charming as she comes across online, in person, she’s even better.

The beginning

Cup of Jo began in 2007 as a pastime to distract the impulsive swaying of a broken heart. “You should totally start a blog,” Goddard’s brother had encouraged her back in 2005. “It’s a thing.” (Picture this: Twitter, Instagram and blogging were not.) He set up the name on Blogspot as a joke, mostly for the sake of the Jo/Joe pun. Two years later, it had become her hobby, the journal she kept for a small audience on weekends between her full-time job as editor at the quarterly lifestyle magazine, Bene. By 2011, she’d successfully parlayed her blog into a full-time gig, and Forbes named it one of the Top 10 Lifestyle Websites for Women.

Goddard’s path is proof there’s no one straight line. After graduating from University of Michigan and working odd jobs in Ann Arbor to raise money to move to New York, she started her magazine career at Cosmopolitan in 2001, first as an intern, then as a columnist. Her beat? To pose one question a month to “cute guys” on the street. In 2002, after a stint as an editorial assistant at Simon & Schuster, she went to NYU law school for a year (“A mistake,” she tells me).

Bene was next, then Glamour, where she launched their website’s sex and relationships blog. During that time she upheld a thriving freelance writing career. Meanwhile, on Cup of Jo, the readership continued to grow, and so did her team.

Growing up and out

Today, Cup of Jo is comprised of four full-time employees: Joanna, plus three others. “For a long time I wondered if we weren’t big enough,” she tells me. “The pressure to grow can be immense sometimes.” She’s since found comfort in her self-described “scrappy” team where each employee wears many hats. On November 28, 2017, Goddard announced Ashley Ford as the site’s newest contributing writer.

With more than five million monthly page views, one million unique monthly visitors and stories that regularly garner hundreds of comments — sometimes cracking over a thousand — Goddard and her team nurture a passionate and dedicated community. Numbers can be nebulous in the world of the internet, but I can tell you this: when Cup of Jo links to Man Repeller, our traffic spikes. It’s like the digital Oprah effect.

“One thing that sets Cup of Jo apart is our readers’ deep engagement with the site,” she tells me of the consistent bump we get on her behalf. “It’s a true community of friends. We put a lot of thought into the products and articles we link to as a result, so when we vouch for a product or a piece of writing on the internet — a huge number of our readers will click on it.”

She says they often sell out products, too (“I remember this black dress on Amazon selling out what felt like instantly”), and have caused smaller sites to crash from the influx of traffic.

Amassing a tight-knit community

One of my favorite things about Goddard’s particular brand of internet fame is that, though she gets recognized all over the world, from Mexico to Amsterdam, she’s approached most often in Madewell and the Chelsea Market Anthropologie. I imagine a woman dressed like a hip high school art teacher greeting Goddard over ceramics, opening with the line she frequently gets: “This is so creepy, but…” Then I picture Joanna (they’re instantly on a first-name basis) greeting the stranger with a hug. Turns out that image isn’t too far off. She’s made real-life friends, she tells me, with fans who’ve introduced themselves.

Goddard welcomes these interactions and chalks up the level of familiarity to the tight-knit community her website fosters, which mirrors the cozy intimacy of a best friend’s dinner party. It’s an environment plenty of brands attempt to approximate, but for Goddard, whether it’s her Michigan-Midwestern instinct or some inherent, always-had-it-in-her sense of maternal welcoming, creating a space where women feel comfortable to take off their bras and speak freely about the realities of womanhood is 100% organic.

Cup of Jo is a proper lifestyle blog, and was long before açai bowls were shot with high-def cameras and the word “curated” was used to describe a layout of lattes and avocado toast. What sets her site apart from her competitors, then and now, is the whimsical yet approachable tone, which makes it read more like a bible-forum-diary hybrid. The content is comprised of style, food, design, travel, relationships and mom stuff, but it’s that last category that Cup of Jo seems to command like no one else. Goddard led the motherhood charge, blogging about everything from breastfeeding to her experience with postpartum depression. She’s since expanded the content to include Q&A interviews with experts, personal as-told-to stories and features that shine the spotlight on parenting around the world.

In April 2017 on a post that asked, “Who Would You Want in the Room While Giving Birth?,” Goddard recalls a commenter chiming in that she was in labor at that very moment. “All of these [other] readers wrote back things like, ‘We’re rooting for you! You can do this!’ She commented again a few hours later and said, ‘The baby’s name is Samson Jude.’” It’s hard to imagine such a pivotal life event play out so personally in any other comment section.

A new kind of honesty

“There were people doing it before me, for sure,” Goddard says, when I ask her what it was like to be among the pioneers of the so-called “mom blogger” movement. (She cites Dooce as one of the very first.) Thanks to her early expertise online, Goddard knew the online stage expands for all sorts of mic stands; she was committed to exploring the lows of motherhood as much as the highs on a platform open to all who cared to read it.

“A lot of sites were talking how wonderful pregnancy, giving birth and being a mom was, but I was having such a hard time with my son through the work-life/balance stuff,” she tells me. “I felt depressed, but I couldn’t find anyone talking about it. No one was was talking about the day-to-day realities. I remember walking down the street in the West Village and all these moms carrying their babies were so immaculate with their brows done. I was just like, What is wrong with me? This isn’t just hard for me, it’s getting to be impossible.”

In the blog post where she announced she would begin to talk about those day-to-day realities, she paraphrased a C.G. Jung quote: “Loneliness does not come from being alone, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important.” So communicate she did, and it never stopped. Cup of Jo doesn’t just produce heartfelt content that women — mothers or not — can relate to, it provides a place for those who relate to gather, support, commiserate and encourage. As with Man Repeller, stories on Cup of Jo aren’t limited to the bylined writers; they are told in the comment sections and every vulnerable, honest reader thread.

Maintaining a private life, in public

When I ask if it’s hard to get space when her private life is so woven into the public, she pauses to think, as though she’s never considered her community to be anything less than a close confidant. She references Cup of Jo readers often throughout our conversation, including those who’ve left negative comments — “important, constructive, real-time feedback,” she says — that it’s clear she’s as much a card-carrying member of the community as she is the creator of it. She speaks of them as though they were her funniest friends, refers to them often as “wise,” highlights comments on the site  and posts their quotes to Instagram.

“I’m an open book,” she says with a shrug. It’s instinctual for her. “My mom used to always say, in the context of dating, that if you say something honestly, even if you feel lame or pathetic, no one will fault you for it. No one will think anything bad about you because you’ll just be relatable. It’s when you [fail] to say something in an honest way…that’s when it starts feeling weird.”

I realize over and over again that everyone goes through the same stuff.

That doesn’t mean she feels the need to reveal everything, nor does she think keeping parts of her life private means she’s lying or being fake, which I tell her I grapple with sometimes online, where it can feel like you’re only as honest as your last personal essay. “So long as what you are saying is true, whether you only write one story about a single minute in your life or you tell a billion stories about the whole thing, it’s authentic,” she says. For her, sometimes that means waiting a year to share a pivotal event, sometimes that means making the choice to keep an experience close to her chest.

When she does hit publish on sensitive pieces, Goddard says she usually wants to throw up, but never regrets it. “When it finally goes up and all the comments flood in where people say they’ve felt the same way, I realize over and over again that everyone goes through the same stuff.”

The “balance” myth

Cup of Jo was born when Goddard was single, without children, and able to devote all of her spare time to her passion. She worked nights and weekends, well-aware of the financial and career risks that come from starting something out of nothing. But as the site grew so did her life, which expanded to accommodate a husband and two sons. How, then, has she managed to “do it all?” How has she mastered that elusive thing called balance?

The truth is, she tells me, she still hasn’t.

“One of my big regrets is not taking a real maternity leave with either of my children, although it made sense at the time since we needed the income. It was such a hard, dark time in my life,” she tells me candidly, as is the Joanna Goddard way. She believes not taking off work is part of what contributed to her postpartum depression.

Balance, whatever that means, is still a work in progress for her. Although she often works nights, she tries to not work weekends anymore. She says that, for her, it’s about putting her foot down and reminding herself of what a friend once told her: “Take all your vacation days. It’s part of your salary. You’ve earned it.” But having two kids has helped her learn to work quickly and be less of a perfectionist.

“They say if you want something done, give it to a busy person, because they have to get shit done all the time without stopping to think about it. Parenting makes you strive to be more efficient than you ever imagined.”

A job is a job

Goddard’s words are a reminder to me that not everything is as it seems. (You’d think I would have this tattooed on my body after working online for all these years.) Her hours are long, ill-worded comments drain her, she’s responsible for the salary of others, and she and her team are responsible for putting out beautiful, entertaining, daily content. Those in the lifestyle biz experience a very real pressure to make things look effortless — or at least photogenic, be it a complicated recipe or an essay about a truly devastating personal event.

But then again, everyone’s job, no matter what it is, is hard. Goddard said as much when we talk about the public perception of her work. Everyone’s life is messy and complicated. Whether we live our lives out for public consumption or not, don’t most of us put on a brave face? “All those Pinterest quotes are so damaging,” she says, listing off clichés like, “Love what you do and it will never feel like work,” or, “You should want to do your job whether they paid your or not.”

“It’s called work; that’s why they pay you for it. It’s not always fun. If your goal is to be eternally giddy about your dream job, I’m afraid you’ll never find it.” That doesn’t mean she isn’t thankful for all that Cup of Jo has brought her, but there is a difference between gratitude and happiness. Gratitude carries us through rough patches, anxiety-ridden days and full-out downhill slides.

“I try to teach my little boys so many things (kindness, consent, how to eat vegetables), but one life philosophy I really hope they absorb is the concept of happiness versus wholeness. She recalls a quote she read years ago by Hugh MacKay:

We’re kind of teaching our kids that happiness is the default position — it’s rubbish. Wholeness is what we ought to be striving for and part of that is sadness, disappointment, frustration, failure; all of those things which make us who we are. Happiness and victory and fulfillment are nice little things that also happen to us, but they don’t teach us much… I’d like just for a year to have a moratorium on the word “happiness” and to replace it with the word “wholeness.” Ask yourself, “is this contributing to my wholeness?” and if you’re having a bad day, it is.

“This idea has been so profound for me,” Goddard continues, “especially in this Instagram era of everyone’s lives seeming so glossy and shiny. But the truth is: Life isn’t easy for anyone. Embrace all the messy experiences, good and bad, and know you’re normal and wonderful and right where you should be.”

Forging her own path

For as much as becoming a mom has informed her work, her work, in turn, has taught her plenty about being a mom. She explains that there are so many polarized opinions surrounding motherhood — natural birth versus epidural, sleep training, attachment theories, breast-feeding — that it can feel as though everyone is at odds, that if you’re not doing it like your neighbor, you’re doing it wrong. “When you’re first becoming a mom, it can feel like, ‘If you don’t get this one organic mattress pad, your baby is going to hate you forever, or die.”

But through editing various articles by her contributing writers and reading comments from readers all around the world, she’s realized you can pick and choose what works for you, that motherhood is personal, that different things work for different people, and ultimately, that “all the babies are happy.”

“There’s this statistic that says the average toddler laughs 400 times a day,” she tells me. “How cute is that?” (It split my heart into two, that’s how cute.)

Her definition of success

As Goddard and I begin to wrap up, I ask her something we’ve asked many women on Man Repeller: What does success look like to her? She tells me that, in addition to continuing to run Cup of Jo as a lucrative business that serves her beloved readers (while also keeping the team small, save for a few more full-time writers), she hopes to one day hold hours that resemble a proper 9-to-5, with lots of outdoor playtime before and after with her kids. It’s a dream I share, and one I often fear may not be possible when working on the internet, the digital city that never sleeps.

“There are so many ways to define success, in New York specifically, that it’s hard not to be affected by how so much of it is about money, status, rank, position,” she says. “It’s around you all the time. People always ask what you do for work, and there are so many people who are at the tippy-top of their industry here, so it’s really, really easy to get caught up in that rat race.”

I’m learning. I don’t really know how to wrap it all up in a bow.

But she recalls a couple she used to share a workspace with at her old job. They were from Amsterdam, and seemed to have a profoundly anti-New York way of working that stayed with her. “They worked super hard, they were super talented, and they would always knock-off work early. They were always laughing and chit-chatting and sort of making out in the office. [She laughs.] We ended up talking one day about life in general, and they said that in the Netherlands, at least among their crew, success was defined as having control over your own time.”

In the years since, she says that conversation has helped shape her value system when it comes to work. “We could hire a bunch more people, really spin Cup of Jo out and do eight million different projects, but I love the site as it is. I love the tight-knit community that surrounds it. Is making it bigger worth not spending as much time with my kids in this golden age that they’re in right now?”

She is quiet for a bit, which creates a comfortable silence between us — the kind that usually comes with old friendship, rarely in interviews. “So anyway, I’m still trying to define that for myself,” she says. “I’m learning. I don’t really know how to wrap it all up in a bow.”

And thank god she doesn’t. Those untied ribbons continue to give her fans something tangible to grab, something on which to tie their own banners. Something that makes them feel understood.

Heyo guys! So this is a Q & A post to sort of low-key celebrate my bookstagram reaching 2k followers (yay!!). If you are here but don’t know about my bookstagram (which is unlikely) you can check it out here.

Please allow me to be sappy and say once again that I’m really glad to have met all of you guys on bookstagram and (even though I hate Instagram’s algorithm) I love you guys for your support and your comments and for sticking along with me :D

I’ve put these questions all into categories so you can just skip to whatever you’re interested about!

Categories in order: Books & Bookstagram // Med School // Life

Books & Bookstagram

Q: Favourite author? Beca @lxnelyb

I knew someone is gonna ask this one… ok I have a few

Cassandra Clare – The Shadowhunter World means EVERYTHING to me. The characters, the runes, the world building – literally everything. I adore Cassie’s writing – so “heartbreakingly beautiful and soul crushing yet so brilliant that it melts your heart” good  (no I ain’t exaggerating). City of Bones from The Mortal Instruments is the first book that really truly got me hooked into reading (I read them before Harry Potter – shocker I know).

Leigh Bardugo – I’ve only started reading Leigh’s books last year (another shocker – sorry), Six of Crows being the first –  I immediately fell in love with the intense, intricate writing style. I love pretty much ALL her characters (especially the 2 particularly troubled boys that likes to wear black). Her Grishaverse books (Six of Crows Duology and Grisha Trilogy) simply blew me out the window.

Honourable mentions – Maggie Stiefvater (She would be my fav too if I read more of her books) Sarah J. Maas (She would too if she doesn’t make me wanna die/hibernate until her next books comes out).

Q: Any book recommendations? Beca @lxnelyb

I DO!!!! There are quite a few that I think deserves many more readers! I’ve linked their Goodreads page so please go check them out!

The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater (If you have been following me on my instagram you would know my obsession with The Raven Cycle series, like c’mon my dudes, go read it!! I even wrote a blogpost on why you should)

This Is Our Story by Ashley Elston (I love the suspense and mystery in this novel – this kept me up at night till 2am to finish it and oh my – this is by far the best book I’ve read this year!)

A Thousand Pieces of You by Claudia Gray (the Firebird Trilogy is so so good – there is multiple dimensions and yet they are all so well developed and detailed – the romance is also top quality)

The Crown’s Game by Evelyn Skye (Like The Night Circus? Like Russian History? Like to pull some human emotions in ya? Read it and you can fangirl/fanboy with me)

Q: Book characters that you each want to kiss, kill and marry? Hem @faeofnightcourt

Aww this is gonna be hard… (Hem why you do this to me poor soul)

Kiss: The Darkling (I would have said either Julian Blackthorn/Will Herondale, but little Aleksander needs more love so…)

Marry: Richard Gansey III (I’m looking out for my Gansey but no luck so far)

Kill: Nathaniel Gray (without a doubt)

Q: Favorite bad ass female characters? Alex @thebookadvocate

Love this question! I’m glad you asked!

Blue Sargent from The Raven Cycle

Emma Carstairs from The Dark Artifices

Inej Ghafa from Six of Crows

Nina Zenik from Six of Crows

Isabelle Lightwood from The Moral Instruments

Aelin Ashryver Aalathynius from Throne of Glass

Q: What got you started as a reader? Alex @thebookadvocate

City of Bones (found it in my local library – it was misplaced in the cookbook section so I took a look at it and yeah!)

The Hunger Games (my cousin recommend this book to me)

Q: Where do you find inspiration for your bookstagram? Alex @thebookadvocate

(I used to post pre-planned and heavily styled flatlay photos – they were inspired by the many beautiful bookstagrammers out there (I just don’t have the time anymore to do detailed layout shoots which is why I started my minimalist theme and I really like it!)

For my current theme I find some inspiration from @thebibliotheque’s bookstagram (it’s really amazing you should check it out!)

Ummm… and maybe on Tumblr and Pinterest? – most of the time I just post random photos that I think look good in my feed lmao XD

Q: How did you start bookstagram? What inspired you to make one? Noura @theperksofbeingnoura

It sort of started when my brother got me a copy of Lady Midnight for my birthday, and I want to show it off on my back-then personal instagram.

And my “explore” page started showing these bookish photos and I was like “Ah cool stuff!” and I officially started my bookstagram a few months later down the track.

It all just came to me – “there are so many like-minded people!”, “omg I’ve read this too!” and it all just sort of happened haha!

I was never on any social media prior to last year so it was all very exciting to me when first started it! My love for books obviously was a huge factor.

Q: What’s the oldest book on yore shelf and it’s story? Emily @abookishadventurer

I received some second hand books from my friend about a week ago (since she’s moving out and can’t take her books with her so she let me have them). Some of them are pretty old (older than all the ones I own anyways haha!)

Q: A series or book that everyone has read but you have not or don’t want to read? Hem @faeofnightcourt

Ok, I’ll have to say the Lunar Chronicles – I honestly really do want to read them but I just never got time to get around it (*chuckles* says a person who binge watched 9 episodes of Prison Break in a day lmao). I don’t really know why I haven’t because I’ve heard heaps of great things about this series (and apparently Cress is everyone’s favourite – well the people I know anyways) so yeah! But I’ll hopefully get to pick up Cinder during my long break!

Med School

Q: What’s the reason you wanted to do med school? (Lisa @noahjace_94)

The honest version is that in high school I really enjoyed learning about the human body, and chemistry involving a pharmacology module, I found medicine very appealing to me. I also did work experience in the local hospital and it just made me want to become a doctor even more.

The more suck-up version is that I want to practice in rural areas in Australia once I graduate and help people and do my best to make them feel better etc.

The practical version is that it’s a very steady job in Australia and there are many opportunities to work overseas (England I’m looking at you!) and I will never have to worry about being hungry or not being able to pay rent etc., which sounds pretty damn good to me (my current status: very broke uni student)

Life

Q: Celeb crush? Beca @lxnelyb

COLE MITCHELL SPROUSE (duh)

Dylan O’Brien (ah gosh)

Theo James (like c’mon all girls who refuse to say they have a crush on Theo is lying)

Logan Lerman (his eyes oml)

Q: Do you watch any tv shows? If so, what? Beca @lxnelyb

I’m glad you asked!

Riverdale – BECAUSE COLE SPROUSE IS JUGHEAD and Juggy is my precious little bean – no one hurt him or else I’ll flip and people will get hurt.

Prison Break – I’ve literally only started this two days ago – it’s honestly the worst time to be hooked onto a TV show because assignments are piling in right now (but ah well, it’s bound to happen anyway) – THIS SHOW IS SO SO GOOD! The guy is so smart and super good looking gosh I simply love it.

That’s about it – I also used to watch Shadowhunters – only for Malec and Simon Lewis, nothing else. I’ll see if I want to continue with the new season…

Thank you so much for reading guys! I’ll have a review for you next time so keep and eye out! Happy Reading! xx

Q & A Time! Heyo guys! So this is a Q & A post to sort of low-key celebrate my bookstagram reaching 2k followers (yay!!).
