[skeine]

man i miss when cr fights were actually difficult. like i can't even blame it on level 20 combat i'm in an epic level campaign right now and combat's tough as hell and we're dropping like flies to stagger back up for one more round. like i get it losing your character sucks but. why are they so terrified of bad things happening to their pc? the ban on revivify got walked back a long time ago. so why. WHY

Riverdale S5 Ep18 Thoughts *Spoilers*

Thoughts under cut to keep tag clean :)

- My boy Fangs giving Betty a free drink <3

- The twins 😭😭

- God Lili is such an incredible actor I wish she was able to truly show it (aka not cringe scenes where she’s pretending to be badass)

- OH THAT’S CHARLES I WAS LIKE?!!? WHO TF? But omg their voices are so good?!?!!? Lol they amplified s1!Betty by a million fshdjf

- “Those seven years we lost after graduation” acting like you two were supposed to be together? He cheated on you with your “best friend” but anyways at least I know VA are bones after this episode

- Britta living at the school aw my poor sweet child “THERE’S NOTHING DEVIANT ABOUT YOU” wait but the Choni parallel?! I love Toni sm

- fuckkkkk Lili’s voice 💕💕💕 “And I miss my mother”

- “Jones, does that work for you?” FUCK ME UP. I know that they’re currently fake dating but still MUAH “You could just ask me to be your real boyfriend” shut the fuck up I am going to collapse?! “I’m trying to tell you I like you” JABITHAAAAAAA RISINGGGGGG “I could be perfect for you, I might be lazy, a loner, a bit of a stoner"

- Jabitha kiss has a million times more chemistry than any bh scene we love to see it thrown in everyone’s faces <3

- “Glamazon” lmao but poor Betty watching her mom spiral 😭😭

- Jeronica eating at the same table muah nah but Jughead always gets her references smh why couldn’t Jughead have stayed </3 LET JERONICA HAVE AN ACTUAL FRIENDSHIP YOU COWARDS

- Polly’s ashes </3 “tell Betty to stop being such a brat” god we missed out on Cooper sibling arguing and rivalries it’s so not fair :(

- Considering I lost my mom a few months ago this hits so hard, and just trying to get out and do something is so relatable.

- Veronica and Jughead finally having that comic like friendship but did she have to say redacted that was so??? weird. But Archie staying at the station just so he didn’t have to be with Veronica I giggled for the demise of Varchie

- “to your false gods” so is yours Penelope??? shut up

- Penelope so offended but this bitch really

- a licensed stockbroker… isn’t that what Veronica is? I don’t know jack shit about any of that shit so sjflajdfkaljsfl I just know “wall street” and money that’s it

- REGGIE TALKING ABOUT NYC AND VERONICA HAVING THAT LOOK BC THAT’S WHAT SHE WANTS. IT TAKES REGGIE FOR HER TO REALIZE THAT HER AND ARCHIE AREN’T ON THE SAME PATH? We could have said that in season one and we have but anyways glad it’s finally happening.

- Again, Lili’s voice <3 and also Charles and Polly singing is so good FUCK we deserved so much more

- Betty drove Polly away?? We saw her for two seconds and she was getting into drugs and gangs and shit while living with you… I know she’s just lashing out but damn :( “She died because of you” no but my sister saying the same to me about my mom this shit fucking hurts poor Betty

- “Can we check in” his face was immediately “ugh why…"

- He sees himself in Riverdale and Veronica sees herself in New York mmhm but like that’s literally what s5 before time jump said and so it’s like???????

- that handhold was so platonically romantic wtf

- A BETTY AND KEVIN SONG!? does this mean they can actually act like friends now instead of it being all Betty and only Kevin when they need him for two seconds?? Aw her leaning her head on Kevin’s shoulder

- OMG VERONICA AND TONI TOO YESSSSS

- Aww Kevin and Betty’s hug <3

- TABITHA GO OFF! Defend Jughead muahhhh

- HE GRABBD A FUCKIN ROSE TOO I’M SICKKKKKK A VISION IN BLUE!!! THEY LOOK SO FUCKING GOOD they just ditch love that!

- Jughead’s hands rubbing over her arms FUCK Stalia had that too omg we love ships with immense chemistry! Bughead 0 Jabitha infinity AHHHHH THE KISS AND THE SOUND OF THE KISS?!! I’M DEADDDDDDDDDDDDDD

- Toni going to Cheryl for Britta 🥺💕 “I loved you, and I felt your love. And I know the huge capacity for love your heart has.” FUCK we love Choni

- VARCHIE’S BREAEK UP BEING A DULL BLUE AND BARCHIE’S SCENES ALWAYS BEING GOLDEN AND LIGHT AND HAPPY MMHM

- Veronica initiating the breakup is just so good since she’s the only one who ever put any effort into thee relationship.

- “go back to dating” then what the fuck are you doing now?? Is there a difference???????

- BETTY STAYING IN RIVERDALE FOR HER MOM, AND ALSO ARCHIE SEEING HIMSELF IN RIVERDALE FIVE YEARS FROM NOW?! BARCHIEEEEEEEEE RISING (sounds out of pocket but I know what happens in the end/in the promo for next ep so)

- This is lovely but also does this mean Betty stops trying to be an FBI agent? Hopefully she can be an investigative journalist or something instead because it fits her so much better

- Lili and Madchen’s voices in this song muah so beautiful

- I still find it so interesting that when they don’t have bhva they can actually write better

- wait you’re supposed to bury ashes…? isn’t the point to just pour them someplace the deceased would like and put it in jewelry—

- “I think I love you.” “I think I love you too” I knew it was probably going to happen with the baby and such but where did these feelings come from? Toni and Fangs never showed ANY hint of romantic feelings I—??

- FANGS SINGING? OH a kiss okay-

- VARCHIE BONESSS YASSSSSS FINALLY we’ve waited for this for four seasons!

- This funeral scene though is so </3 I was about to ask why Penelope’s there and then I remembered that she’s related to them asdfghjkl

- VEGGIE AND BARCHIE, CHERYL BEING KIDNAPPED AND SET ABLAZE LIKE SHE’S A WITCH?! BRO WHAT oaky but this promo slapped… we miss them being good at promoting and writing better (s1 we miss you) it’s still crazy but it’s not overly and annoyingly obnoxiously insane to where it’s boring and dumb af I can’t wait!

Hi everyone!

It’s been a minute, hasn’t it? I’ve been so incredibly busy with work lately, but hopefully I can stop by for a new blog at least once this week. I love blogging, but when I’m faced with a long commute, then working til 9 or 10 at night, blogging tends to get the shaft, because I’m not about to kill myself for my fun hobby, ya know?

I will say, my Low Buy went out the window this month. I think it was a combination of getting a $200 Ulta gift card (which WOULD have been part of my Low Buy) but then with all of the hours I’ve spent working, I plain just wanted to buy some stuff. I felt like I earned it. I bought the Natasha Denona Sunset palette yesterday – so I’m going to do a full review on that at some point, too,

I bought a lot of things this month, but some of my favorites are:

The BH Cosmetics Zodiac Love Signs Palette ($27): One of my favorite smaller YouTubers did a series over the holidays where she did a new look every day using an older palette, and she convinced me to buy the original BH Cosmetics Zodiac palette… and I don’t really like it that much! But then I was looking at the Love Signs palette, and I was like, “ugh. I will probably like that one much more.” And I do. I need to remember that I’m not as into cool tones and that I just need to embrace allllll of the warm tones. The main reason I love this palette so much is because the mattes are so gorgeous. Super blend-able, and just overall really, really nice. The shimmery shades are really nice, too! I was sort of nervous the baked shades would be drier or harder to work with, but they are buttery and soft. I’ve been reaching for this palette a ton. I think I’ll do a full review on this because it will be fun to swatch.

I’ve purchased a few brushes that I really love this month, from Smith Cosmetics and Smashbox. The only things these brushes have in common is that they are all really unique shapes. While I have a ton of makeup brushes, I really don’t have any others that look or perform the way these do, so I’ve been very happy with them. They are expensive, but worth it, if you have the disposable income to spend on makeup brushes, in my opinion.

So I got all four of those brushes, but the ones I’m using every day are the Smith 154 Quill Face Brush ($38.50) and the Smith 104 Fan Brush ($28.50). I’m using the Quill face brush to lightly dust powder over my face and under my eyes. And I’m using the atypical fan brush for highlight.

I’ve been using the Smashbox Sheer Powder Brush ($40) for a light dusting of powder, the Precise Highlighting Brush ($28) for, well, highlight, and the Buildable Cheek Brush ($36) for a wash of blush.

I read an amazing book last month called “Educated” by Tara Westover. As they say, truth is stranger than fiction, and this memoir was absolutely CRAZY. The author was raised as a survivalist, whose parents really didn’t believe in the importance of education. How she was able to pull herself out and learn about the world around her was fascinating. I absolutely recommend.

I’ve also been watching a few shows as I’ve been working and now, blogging. The first is totally random: Designated Survivor. This probably caught my interest because of my love for Maggie Q. I’ve been binging the first two seasons on Netflix. It’s not a really complicated story, so it’s easy to have on in the background while I’m doing other things.

I’ve been waiting for Hanna for weeks, after I saw the preview about a month ago. It’s essentially about a girl who was given some special soldier-esque mutations as a baby, but then was supposed to be killed when the government terminated the “project,” so she’s essentially been on the run for her whole life, and lived with her father in the woods until she was a teenager. Then… her curiosity gets the best of her and she leaves the forest. Spy thriller chases ensue. It’s pretty great, and the girl who plays Hanna should win all of the awards.

What have y’all been into lately? Tell me everything.

xo, L
