I need authors to STOP using the word “unalive” in their books especially when the characters were about to kill or murder someone. I don’t care if you use said word to promote your books, just don’t use it IN your books. You have this big scary character in the book only for him to open his mouth and say, “I’m going to unalive you.” It sounds ridiculous that I laugh even though the entire situation is pretty serious.

Like damn, I get that social media annoying rules traumatized you so much to the point you have to use different words so your contents won’t get hidden/censored but no need to actually put those ridiculous words into your books.

P/S: I know that “unalive” is a real word but replacing the word “kill” or “murder” when you have a character who legit want to kill/murder someone with “unalive” sounds funny instead of sounding like an actual threat. I imagine the intimidating and scary character who says it as this black and white cartoon character instead of someone who should be taken seriously.

I hate BookTok for many reasons. I may not have an account on the clock app but the amount of times I’ve seen cringy and atrocious BookTok contents being shared on Twitter and Instagram in these past few years is enough for me to know how bad the book community on that cursed clock app is. Some people said the hate BookTok gets are too overdone now…Well let me just say that those of us who hate BookTok has our reasons as to why we strongly hate that community, and the list is LONG!!!

Saying things like, “but BookTok did a good thing by making people want to read again.” Yeah, no! That’s not enough reason to defend BookTok. There are always two sides to everything: the good and the bad. And BookTok has more bad ones than good ones.

Me looking at the Kate Middleton saga:

Friends-to-lovers will always be superior. Enemies-to-lovers are just way too overdone, and is overrated. Almost all books with the enemies-to-lovers trope have the same types of storyline and plot. Insane how original ideas seems to be dead nowadays.

Shoutout to the authors who write original stories that has never been done before, instead of following the same trend.

HOW HAVE I NOT HEARD ABOUT THIS UNTIL RECENTLY??? IT CAME OUT LAST YEAR AND NO ONE TOLD ME???

Watching this new Transformers movie made me realize that I do in fact still have a huge crush on Bumblebee. I’m so not sorry for saying this out loud. 10-year-old me calling Bumblebee “cute,” and then proceed to have a crush on the sentient yellow robot for years.

I enjoyed watching this movie, and the fact that this is the sequel to the Bumblebee movie that came out in 2018 proved that this new Transformers movie has zero connection to the previous 5 Transformers movies. The Bayverse Transformers franchise is dead, and thank goodness this new Transformers franchise is a complete reboot which started from the Bumblebee movie.

I could never forgive Bay for what he had done to Transformers. I hope the new Transformers franchise would be better than what Bay did. The Bumblebee movie still remain superior to me for a lot of reasons.

As for Rise of the Beasts, it was an enjoyable movie but I still doesn’t like how it took place on Earth. I wish the settings would be on Cybertron because those 3 minutes opening scene in Bumblebee movie was so epic. But I also understand why this movie had to take place on Earth, after all based on the Bumblebee movie’s credit scene the autobots all arrived on Earth.

As for the human characters, well I do not find them unlikable but they just aren’t written so well in my honest opinion. I still find Charlie from Bumblebee movie a lot better actually. And thank goodness for few human characters now because the robots have more screen time which I and most Transformers fans have been wanting for years, but the G.I. Joe crossover would definitely have more human characters in the next movie and I honestly doesn’t like it one bit. I’m still not sure how they would handle the crossover.

This movie also clearly trying to make Mirage as the new fan-favorite autobot but I’m not feeling it at all. The writers definitely tried to give Mirage the Bumblebee treatment but it’s not easy to just dethrone Bumblebee. I liked Mirage and he’s funny but still I couldn’t find something special about him that would make him be the next big fan-favorite character.

The scene where Scourge killed Bumblebee was also a way for the writers to give more spotlight to Mirage by keeping Bumblebee dead for half of the movie. The moment Bee came back to life (thanks to the raw energon that resurrected him), Bee immediately stole the spotlight from Mirage. I don’t think there are characters that could rival the popularity of Bumblebee and Optimus Prime. I hope the writers won’t try to kill Bee again, he’s Hasbro’s money-maker and is way too important to them just like how he is also too important to Optimus, plus his popularity is way too big. Killing him off permanently is a bad decision.

Also, when will Bee going to get his voice back? I need Ratchet to do whatever he can to make Bee able to talk without having to use the radio. I need Dylan O’Brien back to voice Bee just like he did in the Bumblebee movie. His voice is perfect for Bee, really captured the young and heroic character that Bee is.

Lastly, Charlie not coming back in this movie saddens me. I loved seeing her and Bee, and them parting ways at the end of the Bumblebee movie hurts me. I hope they get to reunite in the next movie. Would be cool for her to meet Noah too, and him being so surprise seeing another human who is also a friend to an autobot. The fact that Optimus said to Bee, “I know one who was good to you” after Optimus said he couldn’t trust humans then Bee said that they are his friends, means Bee told Optimus about Charlie. I wish there’s a deleted scene showing Bee telling Optimus about her.

This movie was epic and yet scary because I feared for the autobot’s lives here. I truly wanted them to survive and glad that they did despite the villains in this movie are stronger. I also wonder what happened to Sector 7 from the Bumblebee movie? The last time we see of them, they were still looking for Bee and Charlie due to some misunderstandings but Agent Burns let them go after warning them that his friends are looking for them.

Final one, I swear…I’m excited to see the next installment and hope the crossover will go smoothly. This is the thing that took me by surprise because I didn’t expect it at all. The credit scene with Noah’s friend was hilarious but I guess the friend will join Noah to help the autobots?!
