#story was my biggest hope for Wilds but 😫

I wish Monster Hunter games had story or an overarching one so bad

Listening to the World Fatalis theme, and just having Thoughts

Like how if the mythos of how Fatalis' scales can regrow themselves into a Reformed Fatalis, and imagining about if the same Hero of Kokoto is rumored to, or just may have been converted into that Fatalis the 5th fleet encounterer, and how the Kokoto motif throughout the song reflects that

Returning hunters a la Returning Agents in Splatoon would be so fucking cool but way over the paygrade of thr capcom writers put onto MH projects I guess :(

Just finished my rewatch of season two of once upon a time. Here are some thoughts I have on the story so far:

• I am once again reiterating that Regina has no hands without magic! The way Tamara took her down with a goddamn sack over the head 😭😩😫. Apparently she has a sword fight later in the series so I’m looking forward to seeing that. My girl needs some kickboxing lessons STAT!

• Emma calling Regina family made me swoon. Their chemistry is wild and I know it only gets more intense from here. That line in season one where Regina ponders aloud “how to get the savior to taste my forbidden fruit” damn near knocked me off my feet. The writers knew what they were doing with that one still 😝🤭 it’s bullshit that they never become canon smh.

• Oh Regina! My problematic fave. Like yes she cursed an entire nation, has a penchant for poisoning her enemies, lies and manipulates people on the daily….but consider that she has INTENSE attachment issues (looking at you Cora) and leaned into her evil side after being repeatedly traumatized/having her agency taken away. She wants love so badly but she needs to learn that true love cannot be coerced. And that constantly snipping at people/fucking up their plans doesn’t exactly foster warm relationships 😬

• Whew the themes surrounding broken/ dysfunctional families of origin hits hard. That experience of being abandoned (either physically or emotionally) or abandoning others and then coming to terms with how deep that trauma goes…brutal! The guilt and shame and sadness and anger and hurt and hope that comes with strained family relations is a lot to contend with. Shout out to the actors for their beautiful portrayal of their characters!

• My biggest criticism of the show so far is how it treats characters of colour. All the Black people with screen time and lines get are killed brutally, two of them were antagonists (although Lancelot redeemed himself) and Mulan gets shafted. Lana Parrilla is a boricua but she literally plays the main villain lol. I get that it was made in a different time or whatever but DAMN! Can people of colour get some love please!

Now I am by no means a professional astrologer but I’m having lots of fun deciding the main character’s Big Six-their sun, moon, rising, venus, mars and mercury placements. I’m gonna wait until I’m halfway through season four (and thus at the middle point of the series) to post my thoughts just in case my opinions change as characters develop in their story arc. Stay tuned for that and more reflections as I get through season 3!

honestly eos was my favorite book bc ;;elorcan;; and also bc yes it hurt like a bitch but it was also cunningly and horribly wondrously done and i was struck in the face with it but..... tod had everything and the way sarah wrote the characters was absolutely stunning and ugh im emotional i loved it the plot was awesome and the adventure was a+++ and the visuals were amazing and i’m in the biggest book high ever i am so happy 🤍🤍

I have started koa and I’m scared, i will prolly take longer to read it fully (bc it is huge and also bc it is the last one and i want to savor it) that’s all i’ll say🧃🧃🧃

HEHEHEHE ( i appreciate you so <333)

Every time you said something about Chaol in your earlier asks I kept thinking how much TOD is going to be great for you HAHA.

The whole final chunk with Duva, Yrene healing her, the siblings talking, and Nestaq was just *chef's kiss* I loved the moment when Chaol finds out that Aelin was the one who helped Yrene because it's just all so *waves hands wildly* full circle ya know? I think it was definitely one of her best books and it's always wild to me when I hear people skip it...HOW CAN YOU WHEN THERE ARE SO MANY IMPORTANT PLOT POINTS?!?!?!

Also...how about that last chapter huh? 👀

But anyways. I'm so happy you loved it so much hehe. You'll need this book high because uh...uh...KOA is going to hurt. Like badly babe. Buckle up XDDDD.

I'm planning to start KOA after I finish Gods & Monsters (which I started today) and then I'm going to read a nice rom-com I just got approved for on Netgalley then I'll start KOA lol. And immediately read a rom-com right after. I suggest you get a rom-com prepared as well HAHA.
