random thoughts on Only Friends ep 6
Love the parallels between Sand at the end of last ep and Boston at the end of this one, facing away from the person that could bring them comfort though I can't tell what Boston is feeling upset about specifically. I'd say it's him loosing the upper hand because the manipulation he tried to pull on Ray failed, also Ray exposing the sweet talk he always pulls on Nick. I doubt he's actually consumed with remorse at that moment.
Nick learns that he's not that special and he stills clings to Boston, I imagine he's pretty thrilled to see Boston isolated after all. More room for him. Babygirl Nick did warn us he was nasty too.
The chemistry is chemistring tho, they're so good together.
Mew went from a character I didn't much about to one I hated (when he was saying to Top he could just ditch Ray) to an absolute king. Like. I was gagged. I wasn't 100% convinced he was the cunning guy people wanted him to be so bad but I looooved the reveal and I hope he'll do his worst. I'll be on the side clapping.
Also this episode is a perfect clap back to those who were complaining about the acting of ForceBook. We can clearly see how intentional their awkwardness was before with how much more intense the last scene was.
Go lesbians, finally you get to shine a bit, love the moms too.
Still very ambivalent about Top, I don't think he's completely cold hearted but he's clearly struggling to drop the rehearsed perfect man persona. Also the fact that he didn't use that video of Ray and Mew to justify his actions must show that he knows he had to valid reason to cave to Boston when he did.
Khao is just a treat, sweet Jesus.
I will be on the edge of my seat for a SandRay reconciliation next week.
and for Mew's Reputation era.

My Serial Killer — Suguru Geto Series
"Fuck-" Geto grunted, fisting his cock while showering. You had been outside, working on your garden, your tomatos were finally ready to be plucked. You walked inside, leaving the fresh tomatos in the kitchen sink, to clean and prepare to make homemade spaghetti. "I need to take a shower." You groan, feeling yourself sticky and sweaty. As you walked to the shared bedroom and bathroom. You walked up to the door, hearing Suguru grunting. "Sugu-" You said lightly, shutting up when you hear him mutter. "Fuck y/n. Yes, just like that." Your cheeks blushed, and you had no idea what to even do when you saw him. You rushed and grabbed your clothes from the dresser, and walked out the bedroom and went to one of the many bathrooms, to shower. As you stood in the shower, watching the dirt go down your drain, your cheeks burned. You were truly flustered, your innocent mind wandered as you stood there thinking of the calloussed man, flustered by the thought of YOU. You are a 21 year old virgin, you didn't know the first thing about sex, or even masterbating, your focus was always on school and work, boys especially MEN were never something you thought about. You felt your heat throb as you dipped your finger into your folds, feeling the wetness coat your index finger. You gasped, not ever feeling something like this before, you are far to innocent. You washed yourself, trying to distract yourself from the heat building in your stomach and womahood from the thought of what he possibly was doing in that bathroom. "How do men feel pleasure?" You questioned yourself.
Later that night, Geto didn't join for dinner, he had a meeting to go to where he had to leave his estate. So as he left, you found yourself in the shared bedroom, looking up erotic movies on the TV. Finding one, and playing it. You watched, and when it got to the sex scenes. You watched so scrumpsiouly, wanting to see how it was to be pleased by a man. As you watched, you could tell the acting was so forced, but you found yourself entranced as you saw the way the man stroked his cock, and the way he ran his hands against the woman's clit. "Oh." You moaned to yourself. You instantly turned it off, your cheeks burning in embarrassment that you were watching such a vulgar movie. You turned off the lights, "I need to sleep this off, I shouldn't be watching such obscene movies." You thought to yourself, turning to your side, to drift to sleep, but after 30 minuets of being frustrated and curious, you slid your hand down your body, pulling your night gown up, dipping your fingers passed your panties, and slowly stroked your womahood, but not feeling anything. "Where is it?" You groaned, trying to find that spot that the man in the movie had the woman arching her back for.
"Ugh, if he didn't do such a lewd thing I wouldn't be thinking of this!" You moaned, now your fingers were dripping in your essence, you felt the wetness all around your folds, you only wished to know exactly what to do, to feel the pleasure Suguru was feelings hours prior. "You having fun there?" Suguru chuckled. Your head perked up, and you instantly pulled your hand out. "No, no, don't stop. I never knew you were such a horny bunny." He laughed. "I am not!" You shouted, you were glad the lights were off, and the only light was the moon, your face was on fire from embarrasment. "Well walking into a room and seeing you a pretty girl fondeling herself while the man is out working, that contridicts what you're saying." He says as he walks up to you, standing on the side of the bed. "Stop looming over me like a child!" You hiss, getting off the bed to walk out the room, at this point you were beyong flustered, and you wanted nothing more than to disappear. You walked out the bedroom door, walking to the living room to be alone in peace, you did not want to hear the taunting of the man who you found yourself infatuated by. How could you? He was a murderer, but he was also kind, and affectionate, and said pretty words, but he also spoke vulgar and rough. You couldn't decide whether he was terrible or the best thing that has ever happened in your life, but maybe it was the latter.
"Hey." Suguru delicately says, you looked up at the man who was walking towards you, you watched as he dropped to his knees in front of you, something that was not normal for the violent man. His figure always stood over you, making you feel as if he was dominating you, it was intimdating, causing you to keep him at arms length. “What Suguru?” You said looking away, your cheeks reddening. “I didn’t mean to upset you.” He said sweetly. “Well you did.” You said, as you played with your hands. “I’ve never done those things, I was just curious.” You shyly said, putting your head into your hands. “You’ve never have had sex?” He questioned, lifting up a brow. You shook your head. “Touched yourself?” He questioned once more, another shake of your head. “Huh… interesting. So what you’re saying is I’ve had this innocent little lamb lying beside me for almost a year, and not once has this little lamb been touched? Heh.” He laughed, you felt his hands slide up the sides of your legs, and cupping the sides of your ass. “Shall I show you how it’s done then?” He whispered. “What!” You yelped, feeling him tugging at your nightgown. “I won’t put it in, just let me help you feel good.” You groaned as his head got closer to your clothed heat. “S-Suguru! No! That’s not appropriate!” You squealed. “What’s not appropriate is the sweet smell coming from your cunt, it’s practically begging me to taste you.” He said seductively. You felt your body stiffen, was he really going to do it? You wanted him to, yet saying it would be embarrassing. “If you don’t want me to please you, then push me away.” He said looking up at you. You stared into his eyes for a minute, contemplating if you wanted to remained closed off, or finally open yourself up to the man who was helplessly infatuated by you. You placed your hands on his forearm, this was the first time you had shown any act of affection besides your words, that you occasionally would speak.
"Mmm." He groaned, pushing up your gown, you felt your bottom touch the cold leather, goosebumps pricking your skin. Geto was impatient, peeling off your panties. You instantly shut your legs shut.
“No need to be modest.” He chuckled, pushing your legs apart. Your cheeks burned in nervousness and lewdness. You couldn’t believe you were letting a man stare at something so private, you felt as if you were committing a grave sin.
“Ahh, wet.” He cooed, opening the folds to stare at your leaking heat. “Suguru, stop.” You moaned, you were so embarrassed, and his words were only heightening that. “No dirty talk? What would you much rather? Praise? Degradation?” He smirked, he knew what you would want, even if you didn’t. You were a sweet girl, you wanted to be praised. “Smile at me once again, like how you used to smile at me every morning.” He said cheekily. “Stop teasing me.” You whispered. “Oh but it’s fun, watching your cheeks down to your chest turn red.” He kisses your inner thigh, feeling you flinch. He ran his fingers through your folds, instantly finding your clit between your folds. You instantly arched your back from the couch, you were sitting upright. “Ah—“ you moaned. He rubbed it slowly, feeling you lubricate his index finger. “Pretty girl.” He groaned, feeling his cock now begin to harden. In a quick moment, he had his mouth attached to your sopping heat, licking you from your hole to your clit. You concealed your moans, feeling like noise would be bothersome. You felt a nip at your thigh. “Taste so so good, I want to hear you.” He groaned, latching his mouth back on. “I-it feels good-so good.” You moaned. You couldn’t believe you were letting this man do this to you. He sucked and licked until your back was arching and your hands were laced in his hair, pulling and a moaning mess. “Stop stop stop, something feels weird!” You moaned out. You didn’t know what an orgasm felt like, all you knew was this tingly feeling in your stomach and cunt was amazing, and you didn’t know whether to let it go, or stop. He quickened his tongue and fingers. He had two fingers inside you for half an hour, curling them to where your g-spot was located. He found it all so easily, he made you cry out in pleasure, as he praised you for being such a good girl for him, and that you tasted far better than any meal he’s ever eaten. You felt your body come undone, and you moaned out in an almost whimper, cumming all over his tongue and fingers. “Ahh yes, good good girl.” He moaned, thrusting his hips against the coach, wanting some sort of friction. “Fuck yes yes yes” he groaned, sucking you into overstimulation. You were moaning loudly, pulling his hair, as his other hand went up and was pinching your nipple. “Suguru!” You cry out, tears pulling as he quickened the pace of his fingers, and adding an extra one. You felt your body convulse as you reached a second orgasm, and came again. He was not letting up, he was as determined to ruin you, to make you crave him, want him, love him.
He rubbed your clit fast with one hand, and had his fingers from his other hand plunged into you. “No no no no.” You whimper out, tears pooling out. “Yes ah yes oh my god yes!” You moaned out after. You hadn’t realized what your body was doing until you squirted all over him, your essence dripping down your cunt and on the couch. “Oh fuck yes.” He groaned. “You’re fucking delicious doll’, fuck let me have more.” He groaned, pulling his cock out and stroking it. You felt fear as he pulled his cock out. “Please, fuck, let me feel you.” He groaned as he jerked his throbbing cock. “Just the tip, please God just the tip.” He begged, you felt your body loosen, wanting to feel him too. Pulling his hand, he lined his cock to your cunt, and pushing in lightly. It made you whimper and moan. Any deeper and you would be in pain, he knew that. “Fuck I love this, I love you.” Suguru groaned, pulling his tip in and out. You felt your heart tingle at the signs of affection.
This big scary man who can cut someone up to pieces, loved you, and took his sweet time to show you, only making you feel good things. “More.” You moaned, wanting to take more of him. You knew it would be painful in the beginning because of his size, but the man was growing on you, and you weren’t going anywhere. “You sure?” He looked down at you with clenched teeth. You nodded your head, he pushed in deeper, and you felt the burning stretch, he kept pushing as you winced in pain, “k-keep going.” You begin to cry. He pushed himself in with a light force, overwhelming your small hole with himself. You felt the snap inside, wincing out in pain. He stayed there until you grew accustomed to his size. It wasn’t until you nodded again, that he began to thrust gently. “Feels so good.” He grunted, throwing his head back. “So fucking tight, my dicks gon’ bruise.” He huffs out. You were staring up at him, you realized that neither one of you have ever even kissed one another. Here you were, having sex with a man, you had never held hands with, kissed, gone on sweet dates with. “Suguru— stop please stop.” You begin to push at his chest. He couldn’t hear you from how good he was feeling in that moment. Thrusting his hips, feeling your cunt wrap around him, you were shuttering from how amazing it felt, the way his cock pressed against your sweet spot over and over, and the way his long hair was sticking to the sides of his face. “Suguru, stop stop!” You shouted, pushing his head so he would listen. “Fuck, what?” He said with tired eyes, you could see in his eyes he was exhausted, and you could tell he was in true bliss now that he had you in his arms, almost like he won a war. “I don’t want to do this anymore, please stop.” You begin to cry. You weren’t crying because of what he was doing to you, you wanted more. But you didn’t know this man, you didn’t know the inner person, you only knew what he let you know. “Fuck, I’m so close, please just a little more.” He groaned, his cock twitching. “No, please stop.” You pushed at his chest. You saw the way his eyes darted to yours, and he pulled out immediately, jerking himself off to keep the pleasure going, to chase his release. You watched as he stroked his swollen cock quickly, and he rubbed your clit quickly to get you to your third release, after a few strokes, he was cumming, shooting on your stomach and the couch. “Fuck!” He groaned, throwing his head back. You naturally closed your legs, feeling a soreness, and feeling extremely vulnerable. “Why would I let this happen with a man I hardly know?” You thought to yourself. “What’s wrong?” He lifted your chin. “Why did we do that?” You questioned with tears pooling in your eyes.
“And why did you say you love me?” You added. “Because I do, your everything I want.” He said still catching his breath. “I don’t want to have sex with a man I hardly know. I’m sorry Suguru, but I don’t love you. I like you, but I don’t love you. We shouldn’t have done that. This is embarrassing.” You covered your head into your lap. You felt him pull you into his lap. “Hey, that’s alright. We don’t have to do the nasty.” He chuckled. “Let me make you fall in love with this big scary man, and then once you do, we will do all the humping we want.” He added with a chuckle. “Suguru! You always make things nasty.” You sighed, laying your head on his chest. He huffed as he ran his fingers through your hair. “Let me just hold you for a minute pretty.” He said delicately, Geto might have been scary to others, but you were beginning to see he wasn’t that scary, and he himself was someone you didn’t want to let go.

Things that Could Have Been, but Weren't
So, this post is just to highlight things/scenarios that the novela suggested and could have been but never happened:
Starting off with my fav, Hugo and Armando’s friendship: the episode where Armando goes to the gay bar ti apologize to Hugo lets us see that they don’t really hate each other. They really don’t. In that scene they joke and laugh like they’re the best of friends, until a random person confused them for a couple and Armando no longer wants to be there. Their “rivalry” is mainly strong differences related to work, as well as the influence of the era’s social prejudices/judgments (Armando, as a straight man, could not be seen being close friends with Hugo, an openly homosexual man, without people assuming he’s also gay, which back then was seen as shameful and we all know how much Armando cares about people’s opinions). That scene alone shows us that Hugo and Armando, were not for the social prejudice and Armando’s impossible goals, they could have been friends.
Roman's "date" with Marcela and Patricia. This possibility was just absolutely hilarous, to me, okay? I really wanted to see it: Marcela and Patricia in one of those clubs completely weirded out, maybe even having to dance with one of the guys. Could have been interesting to see more of Roman's character beyong the "brainless Bully" as the episode in which Patricia gets arrested suggests, when Roman says to Marcela that not everyone who isn't of her social class isn't a criminal tryibg to harm her. Could have been interesting to explore this more humbke side of Roman and to see Marcela (Patricia is very bland as a character at this point of the novela so whatever) possibly becoming more humble after spending time with then. (( im definitely going to write a one shot one day about this))
Daniel’s pursue of Betty. I’m not talking about acutally loving her, that’d be a bit too ooc, but the show clearly implied he had attraction towards her, and him giving up so easily after the dinner felt ooc. Daniel is VERY insistent, and he cares very little for a woman’s actual interest or consent.
Dr. Sánchez and Sandra’s date. Look. I just.... think it is too cute to let it slip, ok? Sandra deserved to find love. Dr. Sánchez had his issues with his pringuesitos that’s true, but that man just NEEDS AN OPPORTUNITY, OK? SHE CAN FIX HIM (or honestly they can fix each other because wtf was that of diminishing all short men's masculinity like that)
Betty's letter. We see a scene back when Betty didn't yet know of the plan but was already Armando's lover where she leaves a letter for Armando on his desk. Can you imagine how sould crushing it could have been if it had been a love letter and that Mario were to read it, and then later on he writes the Sinister Letter as a parallel to Betty's love letter? Oh, the drama, the tragedy, the cruelty!
Efraín and Sofía's reconciliation. I don't mean that they get back to being a couple, I mean for them both to forgive each other and have an actual amicable relationship after what happened when Efraín was in jail. Those scenes really led us on to believe they were going to heal; that Efraín was going to admit and understand that Jenny didn't love him. They don't have to even still be in love with each other (although it is heabily implied that Sofia still loves him), just to understand that they weren't right for each other anymore. To truly move on, ans for Efraín to reflect about how he failed Sofía and his own kids. For Sofía to see that Efraín stopped loving her because she was aggressive and distant before he cheated (not a justification for cheating, just explaining his view)
Injust think it would have been great to see all these things more explored jn the novela, because after all, it left it clear that they COULD happen!

I kinda wanna know how aliens would react to contortionists, poke dancing (not the sexy kind), or just how madly flexible the human body can be when we really shouldn’t be as flexible as some people can manage to be.
Like really just decide they want to surpass the human limit and fold themselves not even into half’s but into THIRDS!
OH YOU CANNOT START THIS TOPIC WITH ME I hate joint pain
But I digress, let's be professional about this.
Terrans are surprisingly tensile and flexible if you train from a young age (or are born with twice the joints in your body). So, let's set the scene:
You're an Alien with somewhat rigid bodies, an exoskeleton perhaps? You can do complex movement, but you do not have much motion range that goes beyong 90 or 180 degrees. And you see a human, elbow rotating at high speeds 360 degrees without dislocating or dislodging their joints.
Or, you see a human FOLD THEMSELVES SEVERAL TIMES TO FIT IN A BOX. Several times smaller than their size. Or you see humans hold onto smooth metal poles with their feet and seemingly fold in half and float midair.
Now you would think, if you were, say, a stay-at-home alien, that this would be a tall tale! Probably a funny joke your starfaring friends make at your expense. But witnessing this yourself will surely be an experience.
Imagine your surprise when you find out hunan contortionists somehow still have functional organs.

Ok now i can go deeper into the final after giving some time to everyone.
So for me, this finals wasn't the ending we wanted or whatever but it was the ending we NEEDED. Here we can see in the final an clear explanation of simon relationship with betty. He learn of this error and to go beyong them like netty seems to have done by saying "u were a wonderfull experience" clearly saying she moved on and hope the best for Simon.(it make me happy than she could grow out of this relationship better and is still loving simon in a way maybe not like before).
Simon taking therapist time was really a cool scene :3(he really needed it)
And for Fionna,she is finding more and more stuff she like in her world while before she was enable to see those gorgeous things. Kinda love the fact she can still text Simon and have still a connection with :3

One day, Alfred the cat went missing from his usual place. Security cameras showed him leaving with another cat from outside the window but beyong that, nothing.
As if they had disappeared into thin air.
Damian employed all his training from the League and finally found Alfred at some rundown, abandoned warehouse.
He didn't jump in but instead observed. And frozen at the sight.
He didn't know what he expected (probably a litter of kittens) but Alfred was playing cards with other five cats was certainly a surprise.
Damian could hear one of the cats asked "Anyone has a five? No? Go Fish please,"
The cat got slapped in the face by another cat. With actual fish in its paws.
A week later, batfam + Alfred the butler get to witness the spectacular scene of Alfred the cat with other cats playing cards in their living room, Damian in the corner with a recording in his hands as he cheered for Alfred to win.

Hi! I saw how much you enjoy the 1925 version of POTO and I just wanted to tell you about some interesting detail that I`ve noticed a couple of years ago and literally nobody had ever talked about it. In this film Erik clearly has some kind of heart problems, I mean, just look how he clutches his chest in the unmasking scene and he clearly feels himself bad not only due to overwhelming emotions. Also in the original ending (and not in the wierd crappy one we got) he died from a heart attack so.....Makes sense.....
Great observation. It doesn't only make sense, it also makes the ending that we got more crappy and nonsense, because this information seems to be there for no particular reason. If they had kept the original ending, people would speak more about this.
Lon Chaney's Erik is only 32-33 years old, so i don't see why he would have heart problems unless if he was unlucky with the genetics OR, if his life traumas broke his entire organism beyong repair. Both are very tragic options...
I feel like Erik died because Christine's kiss was out of sudden and they had just spend throught a traumatic and extremely tense event. If they were a couple, she would probably carry the kisses and the, 🫢, carnal activities, with more patience to not overcome him with fatal emotions.

Hello helloooo!!!!
Hello gorgeoussess 🙃
Skippy, hows your toe doing 🦶🏻?
The other day, I was bored to the core, so I went to Instagram, and found many, but many edits on the Platinum jubilee (all of them astonished). 😍
Seeing all the festivities and primary the concert, the light, how they beautifully projected amazing views on the palace, the beacon THE Queen lighted (a scene that it was true and pure magic), the drones at night projecting different performances. JUST OUTSTANDING!!!!!
And please anon, correct me if Im wrong, but, in the history of the monarchy, have ever been a celebration to this level????.
I do NOT remember, I truly feels that this is BEYONG everyones hopes.
A time to remember FOREVER!
However, after having crossed feelings about this amazing festive ( I wish I can find the right word to describe how beautiful and astonishing this is).
I had crossed feeling tours Harry, I felt bad for him, because it doesn’t matter how angry he might be tours the crown, I am 💯 % SURE, that he felts awful for not participating. He had missed the most important festive and he knows he will never ever see something like that.
He probably (I hope Im right) have BIG regrets for everything he had done.
Im sure that NOW, he feel sorry and maybe wishes to come back.
Thank you❤️❤️❤️❤️

So I'm watching The Mandela Catalogue, TW it has suicide, paranoia and complete horror
My theories / questions after Volume 1 :
1. Episode 1 :
If alternates were ONLY using psychological warfare, why stay inside your house ? Now I know it may be because if you go outside you may encounter an alternate, get M.A.D. and die; but won't staying inside be deliberately isolating and cutting you off from outside help, thus increasing your paranoia ? Like. If you're among good samaritans or brave people outside, someone might atleast check on you. Was this announcement MADE by an alternate to promote that isolation ? Lol. Or is there simply a huge risk of alternates roaming about outside ?
Also, why would the government instruct you to kill yourself ? If instead someone actually fights the alternate, using normal weapons, evasion or other means, and the government / vigilante later arrives at the scene to check - won't that give them more useful info about what an alternate does ? Whereas the victim killing themselves wouldn't give them much useful info. Was this announcement REALLY made by the government, or is it an alternate's doing ?
2. Episode 2 :
The tape says 'wrong move, Mark' just before his death. WHO wrote that ? Can't be an actual sensible law enforcement officer, since that 'wrong move' warning is way too vague - unless the police guys already know why it was a wrong move. Did an alternate make this tape, or tamper with a genuine tape ? Is it just from the narrator's POV ?
Also, what exactly is the wrong move ? Mark opened the door after unsuccessfully calling for help for days, then yelled 'you bastard', then a gunshot and blood on the screen or simply some weird paranormal lighting effect. Afterwards we see Mark's dead body with the face censored and the words 'nobody came for me'. Again, who wrote that ? The position of the gun makes it seem like he committed suicide tho.
Plus, if you acted like Mieruko and simply ignored / pretended to be completely unaffected / suppressed your fear, would you be safe from an alternate ?
3. Episode 3 :
Either the police force / government is completely corrupt and / or cowardly, or an alternate made that 'encounter' warning. After the 3 normal procedures, the tape glitches and then the warning to just abandon victims of alternates and save yourself appears. That's weird - why didn't the police make a separate tape for that, or normally edit the tape to add the new content ? Why does it glitch ? Could be a simple processing error too, but was the tape intercepted by an alternate to spread fear for its own benefit ?
And the warning is pretty off too. Either the higher ups are dumb af and hope that alternates won't spread beyong Mandela County, but I doubt that. The rational save - your - skin thing to do would be to make some trained people encounter and fight the alternates and send back data, to see how and why they attack and how to avoid / defeat them. But instead the authorities tell the police to 'take no risks' at all, and just turn a blind eye. This means that the police know that avoiding alternates is the only way and exactly how to avoid them - just like in the case of a horrible incurable infection - OR that alternates made this message so that nobody would even try to stop them.
4. So we often see / hear about alternates appearing on 'analog / natural screens' or over analog communication devices - analogue televisions, mirrors, Mark's analog camera, glass windows, over call, on the radio, on broadcast warnings etc. Analogue signals transmit natural radio or light waves without converting them into binary code, whereas digital tech converts natural sound / light (electromagnetic) waves into binary code and then transmits and demodulates the signal.
Does this mean the alternates are made of / can control natural sound and electromagnetic (light) waves - transmission on analog tech and reflections / refractions on mirrors and glass windows ? Like a phantasm of physics ? After all, we only see Mark's alternates on the analog TV, on his analog camera, through a glass window - and we also see the other alternates in video or sound recordings. Is this why there's a law about destruction of analog TVs and mirrors ?
But of course, there is an exception - The Fake - Gabriel. He talks in binary code and manifests to Noah despite there being no screens or glass windows. And yes, there are ambivalencies in the normal alternates too - like when in volume 2, the alternate tells Adam to look behind him through the radio, was that alternate actually going to manifest or just appear on a screen ?
And why does the broadcast warning tell people to avoid being very religious / philosophical ?

First world problems (complaining about TV shows) ahead, you’ve been warned!
It sucks that as soon as you mention you didn’t like The Sandman or Rings of Power, people immediately assume you’re one of those people crying and throwing up and shitting themselves over people of color being casted in roles, or having gay characters, or a female character swinging a sword. Cause no, I have 0 problems with any of that, and yet I did not like those shows.
With The Sandman, I was very interested at first, but I watched about 5 episodes, iirc, and got progressively bored with the show. I’m starting to think its a problem I have with the pacing of Mr. Gaiman’s shows, cause I had the same happen to me when I tried to watch American Gods, both kinda fizzle out and spread too thin the plot and fail to retain my attention/interest 🤷 Didn’t help that for The Sandman, I found Dream to be a really boring character with the personality of a soggy piece of paper.
For the Rings of Power... it feels soulless. Even going in fully mentalized that this was a very loose adaptation, more like a grand fanfic, and ofc I couldn’t expect too much adherence to canon, it just failed on so many levels, imo. There are some grand shots and very pretty scenes and cinematography, but it feels so empty, so devoid of meaning beyong “look how pretty this is!”. The show completely failed to make me invested in any of the characters, which is quite the feat, and it felt like it dragged on forever, which is never a good sign. Also, I’m still pissed the elves have short hair! They feel like random dudes with pointy ears rather than ethereal and immortal beings. And good lord, the costumes looked cheap. Like, the gold outfit of Gil-Galad looks like something I could buy for Halloween on a dollar store 😭

In lieu of the winter season where we want to snuggle up in our blanket against the crackling of the fire in the hearth and a cup of hot cocoa with delectable marshmallows, I am reviewing a cluster of anime that brings about some coziness.
Now I want to some hot cocoa... Anyway, 🚨SPOILERS🚨 as usual.
1️⃣ By the Grace of the Gods Season 2
(Picture Source: Anime Trending thru' Google Image Search)
If you all remember, Season 1 was praised by me to be a good anime to follow. I wish I could say the same for Season 2.
Okay, it's not at the end of the spectrum bad but just that it got a bit more boring than the first season. In the first season, we get to see Ryoma, the protagonist, taking a first step in becoming an tamer. It seemed like the series was going in that direction despite him settling down and opening a laundromat shop at the end.
However, in Season 2, it focused a lot more on his laundromat business that I was beginning to wonder if the focus of the series changed. True, I understand that he is a merchant and a tamer, along with other titles he obtained, but I felt that it has lost its focus in Season 2.
It could be just me about the focus of the series above, but the speed of the second season was quite slow. While it is important to know the new acquaintances Ryoma had made, it was also not in large numbers and I felt that those characters are not worth watching a second season to know them. You could just read up about them in the Fandom Wiki or something.
Rating: 5⭐/10
2️⃣ Restaurant to Another World
(Picture Source: IMDb thru' Google Image Search)
This anime talks about two worlds being connected by a restaurant. The door to the restaurant only opens on certain days and will disappear before the start of the second day. But it's not like the denizens of the other world cannot visit it again, they just need to catch it at the next time the door appears again.
During those periods, the patrons will be the denizens from the other world, and many of them, despite not knowing each other at first, would eventually warm up to one another and also cross paths in their own worlds. This also became like a secret band of members who knows of this restaurant's existence.
The entire food menu shown throughout the anime are mainly Japanese cuisine but they do occasionally throw in other cuisine. It does not focus solely on the food, but also of the lives of each of the patrons. It is very worth the watch and probably will make you hungry.
Rating: 7⭐/10
3️⃣ Mahoutsukai no Yome
(Picture Source: Random Curiosity thru' Google Image Search)
For the record, I have not watch the second season where Chise goes to school. So, this is covering only the first season.
Anyway, this anime could be considered cozy due to its lack of serious action scenes in the show. Yes, there are fights but it is not action-packed like you hope. This solely focused on Chise's life as a bride to a mage.
While under his charge, she also learned magic due to her high compatibility with it. It is at such a leisurely pace that you won't even feel as if you are in a life-or-death situation when Chise was fighting against Joseph.
However, one thing about this anime is that you need to pay attention to it so that you can understand some of the traditions or culture established in the anime. Otherwise, it is a really cozy anime that makes you want to snuggle in your blanket with a cup of hot cocoa.
Rating: 8⭐/10
4️⃣ Frieren: Beyong Journey's End
(Picture Source: Destructoid thru' Google Image Search)
This is a very recent and very popular anime, and also a rare one that doesn't focus on the sexually suggestive scenes in the show.
This anime focused on an elf named Frieren, who after eradicating the demon king with the hero's party, embarked on a journey of her own to collect spells of all kinds.
The series was set years after the death of the hero and how she began to see the world in a much different view. For now, it does not seem like there is an actual goal of the series but rather Frieren just dragging her own apprentice along to collect spells of various kinds.
While there are fight scenes, it is at the minimal since it largely focused on Frierien and her thoughts throughout her own journey. A cozy anime you can look up to during the winter season.
Rating: 8⭐/10

rest prompts // @rosa-geminae
Convenience to host others nobles around his domain came from antecedents circumstances, when he could pretend and believe to himself wrongly, he could handle that repeated situation … For an faraway visitor, it was an entire mansion in London, where he came from time to time, who had been the most appropriate place for welcomed them — for not always having an Prince inclined to make his happiness and his smile his priorities, when he cannot stand and still have to difficulties to facing all that brightness with his common morosities and distant priorities … The case of his fiance was mostly inside embarrassing look, when all the gentelman talents of dancing and welcoming lacked inszide the atmosphere of his manor — where he felt excruciatingly disturbed by her presence but sometimes felt nostalgic in her absence … a paradox from which he sought no comfort. More than ever, she should never know a quiet truth behind that face. More than ever, secrets should be kept to preserve their semblance of truth between them. Surely, he cared about Elisabeth, nevertheless, for various reasons, it was best she remained away — visiting each other in middle of society seemed the most appropriate location … not inside that rebuilting manor when sensations of memories would eventually been shared once more. It was different of the first time when the future duke of Vessalius came around. When he had been an sometimes troubling presence inside his office, when he desired bring his bright and welcomed it back with darkness …
Truthfully, expect be a host giving him an house to sleep and somewhere to eat, as some refuge when he could be inside good hands temporary, when he could resuming his quest peacefully, he didn’t do much coming from his own person. His servants gained an wonderful friend, who was interested in them and pay no attention to social class, which was surprising. Sebastian didn’t have too much to do with him, when the mystery around his demonic butler remained tamed, inside an strange understanding of each other … and he didn’t care. An sun embraced by darkness, an sun who had still shining to last horizon, when the absence of his brightness eventually get noticed, but far too late … when found them once more, in middle of despair colors, created another distance he didn’t come to lower down. The Trancy Earl was the cause of his change of habits, of his bit of attention towards his hosts, of his somewhere efforts to be present … but seemed to face reflection others nobles cannot know him in the same way he can knew them. Did he truly wanted to see beyong the appareance of the mirror, discovering the reality behind the playful smile, recalled to himself there was an monstrosities and hypocrisy in their world ? One truth came out as an capital importance that cannot been exposed in any kind of shape. His absence in society, even though distanced by circumstances, leave out marks, and for the sake of his reputation, he needed to keep that prestance unchanged — regardless if he desired be recognized as a king with a legitimate throne, without having his crown stolen … Walking around his manor had been for the best, as far his thoughts were going. As he noted the presence of Francis sleeping in the sofa, he watched at him inside an strange painful remembrance scene. Terrible mind missing Alois annoying presence destroying his manor at every occassion and always be around him every minute … Terrible mind who was unable to overcome endless worries… There was no desire to been rude inside the observation. A long time ago, he would have asked Sebastian to moving him out inside his bed — to giving him a fair and most appropriate place than incomfort of an sofa … Today, maybe could be pretend he saw a scene he shouldn’t have see ? Seeing again a noble’s vulnerability reminded him of his own, of that boy sleeping deep within him, who couldn’t express himself as he would have hoped years ago ? He did too much a fuss over permanent rudeness coming from one noble, one noble he eventually accepted willingly the presence and refused to let him go no matter what, as a exception. He could just look away from someone else, who still had innocence he had lost his taste for. Could it be that he was bored while he found himself in the immensity of his manor, as explanation ?

THE AMERICAN DREAMER. Direção L.M. Kit Carson e Lawrence Schiller. Roteiro: L.M. Kit Carson e Lawrence Schiller e Dennis Hopper, 1971. Estados Unidos.
"I don't really know because like you know
I know that now, i'm really lonely
And i’m really, really alone and,
That the artist is really alone
and the artist must really be alone
He hás to be alone and..
Being alone as painful scene and so you never get beyong but maybe that’s the way
you give your thanks
being allowed to be that because the very loneliness that you wanted to get over only comes compounded into work more loneliness
more isolation ... “
Reflexões iniciais de Hopper, em uma cena cambiante em meio a estrada; em inúmeras alusões que senti desde cenas do clássico filme Easy Rider dirigido pelo próprio ator e diretor, e os versos frenéticos de Jack Kerouac de On The Road, imerso em uma trilha sonora majestosa, essa foi sensação que tive ao iniciar este documentário que buscava há tempo.
O documentário The American Dreamer, aborda as filmagens e montagem de seu filme The Last Movie, (preciso rever) repleto de abstrações de Hopper e até orgias; em tempos de contracultura e Nova Hollywood. No mais adorei a trilha sonora.
ERA UMA VEZ O SONHO AMERICANO, Dir Sergio Leone, 2002. ITÁLIA.
Documentário especial sobre o genial diretor Sergio Leone, onde o mesmo relata a sua trajetória inicial no cinema como assistente do cineasta Vittorio de Sica; perpassando por comentários de seus principais filmes, repleto de depoimentos do próprio cineasta, incluindo colaboradores e atores como Clint Eastwood, Eli Wallach e Claúdia Cardinale, bem como o maestro e compositor Ennio Morricone, e o diretor Bernardo Bertollucci. Uma das questões que me chamaram a atenção foi no tocante a relação de seus personagens com os clássicos heróis homéricos, influência declarada do diretor na construção de seus personagens.

How i became a kpop fan
Okay so, if you guys are wondering. I became a fan of kpop since 2017, my classmates or let's just say a friend of mine introduced k-pop to me.
A first group i knew before they introduced is Got7 and i just listened to their song without knowing anything since i was 7 that time (i guess its 2014-? idk) , and then tadah i wake up and now im in 4th grade.
There's a girl group where their song becomes a trend and its Momoland, they are the reason i listen until now on kpop but different artist.
Then there is a boy group, who is now a legend and also nominated 2nd time on grammy, BTS. I remember they showed me an mv i thinks its fake love or DNA i don't really remember since its a long time ago haha! They also said the meaning of BTS is beyong the scene which is i don't really give a fuck since im more focused on telling them as a batang supot 💀 And now look i am in year 2018 stanning them 😭✋🏻
The end , idc if u can't understand this u pcs of shit
