Arajin appreciation post bc I genuinely like him <3

#i get why people dislike him or find him annoying #but he feels like an average teen anime protagonist to me #it’s just the start of the anime so i do have faith that he will change his attitude in the next episodes #and he will maybe give up on Mahoro that would be great for both of them :3👍#maybe I’m not too annoyed by him since I’ve seen way worse protagonists……#i have watched many new isekais and romcoms intended for a male audience….I’ve seen all kinds of main characters…..#okay he may be annoying and a coward and a loser and #but at least he’s trapped in a Hiroko Utsumi anime and not a generic high school romcom anime ;3 #bucchigiri?!#bucchigiri #arajin tomoshibi #anime #live kaii reaction #kaiicore #also sorry if any of this doesnt make sense i'm writting this half asleepwbefckjvcf

I've had a genuinely horrifying thought (re: the passage of time)

so we can all agree that recent romcoms have been missing a certain je ne sais quoi

and one of the reasons that the rom coms of my childhood (tysm nancy meyers) went so hard was the soundtrack right? lots of 70s music, emotional, soulful, evocative stuff, right?

the absolute shock of realising that if the timelines worked the same that the songs on offer are from the early-to-mid 2000s. bruh. I'm reeling.

#livia speaks #I'm not even that old #but I was listening to a 70s playlist #and the Natalie Cole song 'this will be (an everlasting love)'#was on the playlist #a certified banger #and a staple of the romcom genre #and realising that when it was the closing credits in the parent trap that it was the same distance as 2005/2006 is now?#wtaf #wtafffffff #I know this isn't a new notion but it's really floored me tn

Books I‘ve read in June 2022

I know it‘s late for a June reading roundup but I felt like doing it so here we are…

The shadows between us: ⭐️⭐️⭐️

- It‘s a good book with two very morally gray main characters. It is a great enemies to lovers book.

- i needed a bit to fully appreciate the book but the further i got in the story the more i liked it.

- if you like enemies ti lovers check this book out. The twists were nice and i did not see them coming. I love that. I don‘t really like it when I can see the twists coming a mile away.

Nick and Charlie: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

- it‘s a cute and short novella about Nick and Charlie from the Heartstopper series.

- i‘ve read it in one sitting. It deals with Nick going off to uni and how Charlie copes with it.

- it touches some nice topics and I did enjoy seeing another side of their relationship.

Collided: ⭐️⭐️⭐️

- this is the second book of thw Dirty Air Series from Lauren Asher.

- Sophie and Liam have great chemistry but some parts i didn‘t enjoy it. Liam was way too entitled from time to time for my taste. And Sophie came across quite naive and i don‘t really vibe with that sometimes.

- maybe i shouldn‘t have started witht he second book but I just was done with waiting for the first one to arrive so i just dove into this one.

- it is a fun read. I‘ve never read a F1 romance before and i didn‘t know if i liked it but turns out fast cars and men with dirty mouths are enjoyable to read about.

Delilah Green doesn‘t care: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

- so this was my first saphic romance book I have ever read and it was amazing.

- I‘ve bought this book on a whim because I haven‘t reached the cost free shipping yet and it was a fantastic decision.

- The book amazing from the start to the end. It does deal with a lot of anxiety on Delilah‘s side and with guilt on Claire‘s side.

- I loved how they started to work through their issues together and tried to resolve them.

- there are two more books coming out and I do plan on getting them. The book was easy to read and i devoured it in one night.

Kingdom of flesh and fire: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

- the second book of the From blood and ash series.

- the first book was great but i did enjoy this one a tad more. I found out i enjoy the marriage of convenience trope. Poppy and Casteel agree to get married as protection for her. But you know both of them want this.

- the pay off in the end when both of them finally accept that they love each other is absolutely worth the hubdreds of pages you had to read to get there.

- the end left me baffeled. I had no clue what happened and it suprised me so much.

A crown of gilded bones: ⭐️⭐️⭐️

- I loved the first two books and flew through them. But this one really tested my will to finish it. It only has 3 stars because of Poppy and Casteels chemistry and the beginning of the book.

- it starts were the second one ended and it goes right into an action pact start. I mean sooo much happens. But after they got Poppy back the whole story gets confusing and polluted.

- I bought the fourth book of this series but it just sits in my bookshelf. On one side i hate quitting a series and i want to know what is gonna happen but on the other side the third one really tested me and I don‘t know if I can go through another confusing and polluted book.

This Winter: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

- another Heartstopper Novella. This one takes place during the first christmas after Charlies ED.

- we see the whole thing through Charlies and Toris eyes which i really enjoyed.

- it‘s shirt and kind of complex. I did enjoy the different povs and read it in one sitting.

The Princess Trap: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

- I love a good royal romance.

- this one was a bit kinky just a little bit but i didn‘t expect it.

- it is a short book which deals with abuse and politics. I liked it because it was way more complex than just the pretend to be engaged and fall in love. They do have to deal with all their issues.

#romance spicy books #romcom books #fantasy books #romance books #books and reading #june reads #the shadows between us #collided #dirty air series #nick and charlie #delilah green doesn't care #the princess trap #kingdom of flesh and fire #a crown of gilded bones #the winter

Wait what if I made it so Roxy and Bonnie perform at DJ’s bar or that Roxy and DJ perform together or something and at some point, Chica and Monty join them on stage and now Bonnie or DJ, maybe even both are just sat between three dummies that absolutely adore each other

#they feel like they're just trapped as extras in a shitty romcom that their besties are staring in #like #even before they're together they're probably insufferable on some level or another #rip to those guys #/lh

90's RomCom

Continue Reading at BlondiHasThoughts.com

(Trigger Warning: Sever Mental Health and Effects)

Let me confess: I love rom-coms with all of my heart.

If you had told me that I would one day admit this out loud, I would have called you a liar! I wasn't like other girls; I hated romance and girly shit. You couldn't have caught me dead watching one of those films. But like most haters, if you had snuck into my room late at night and taken me by surprise, you probably would have seen a rom-com on my tv and found me to be the actual liar.

I've always loved rom-coms, even before puberty hit or I knew what the concept of love actually was. They have been there for me during some of the worst moments of my life, never during heartbreak, though; cult documentaries were reserved for that. Rom-coms were for something far worse; when I was having a mental health crisis and couldn't get out of bed.

Like most tragic stories, this one started the summer going into my sophomore year of high school. At the age of fifteen, I began experiencing a series of month-long panic attacks, a saga that would pop up randomly throughout my life and that I would later come to call my "nervous breakdowns."

On the second night of the first series of panic attacks, I sat in my mother's room watching TV, trying to calm the pain in my stomach that had started all of this. I was flipping through channels when I landed on a movie. On the screen was a girl and a dollhouse, both locked in a closet in an attempt to escape a birthday party and the embarrassment inflicted by the popular girls who had crashed it. A rom-com was not something I allowed myself to watch in a public setting, nor did I allow myself to enjoy them publicly due to my fear of being labeled as a basic, white girl. But 13 Going On 30 was on, and I needed something to distract myself from my spinning thoughts. I can tell you the exact scene that was on when I came to on the floor of my mother's bathroom, having blacked out from the intensity of a panic attack. Jennifer Gardner was doing the Thriller dance. I watched that movie on repeat every night until I was put on anti-depressants, and the panic attacks finally stopped (for a bit.).

This became a tradition; I’d pick a rom-com and dedicate it to that specific episode of panic attacks, riding them out with the soothing tale of a happy ending and upbeat music masking my loud thoughts. To date, I have watched 10 Things I Hate About You over fifty times, leaving a Kat Stratford imprinted on my soul.

Though the brain is funky, and mine has, personally, connected these movies to the circumstances of the times that I watched them, rom-coms have found a place in my heart, even before I started using them as a coping mechanism. One of my favorite movies growing up, and one that also imprinted on me, was The Parent Trap, the Lindsey Lohan version, of course. (Long Live Lindsey Lohan!) I remember one of my moms showing me the movie Legally Blonde in elementary school and saying that if I were to look up to anyone, I should look up to Elle Woods. That statement obviously deeply rooted itself in my brain and resurfaced later in my life.

During my preteen years, I would stay up late, once my parents were asleep, to watch rom-coms on Bravo. I thought I was so sly, recording them on my DVR to watch later at night so I could delete the recording before my parents found it the next day. At twenty-three, I can now acknowledge the resentment I had for rom-coms and the shame I felt from enjoying them as internalized misogyny.

Now that I am older and have processed (some) of my shit, I can also acknowledge how much these movies impacted my personality and how much I tried to hide that. They helped shape me into who I am today and saved me, so I had the time to turn into this girl.

The most important point of this post, though, is they don't make rom-coms like they did in the 90s and early 00s. If anyone says otherwise, they, too, have internalized misogyny, and it's time to face the demons.

Petition to bring back the 90s vibe rom-com! I can see them on the horizon, coming back to us! Jenny Han is saving this generation of movies and TV, giving the film industry the inspiration it needs with her books. The Summer I Turned Pretty saved my soul and got me through my fourth case of covid (Get vaccinated!). Also, fucking shame on Netflix for fucking up To All the Boys I Loved Before. They had it all, the fantastic book and the massive budget, and they went and ruined it with fucking Noah Centino. I can't even pretend for the sake of the imagination that he's charming enough to be the love interest in anything. Sorry, not really sorry. Also, free advice to all media corporations, American Horror Story TV show format but Sarah Dessen's edition; run me my check later.

But alas, we wait; until the break of the rom-com dawn shines on us once again, all we can do is rewatch these masterpieces and bask in the glory that is their fantastic soundtracks, the killer of all great beasts, putting everyone and anyone in a loving, dovey, upbeat mood.

So here is my take on a rom-com soundtrack!

Let's set the mood:

Picture this, you are seventeen (because girls (and boys!) are always seventeen in these things ;)), and it's the last day of your junior year. The halls are louder than usual, everyone is moving a little faster, and there's a faint scent of sunscreen in the air. None of the teachers seem to care that some kid is tossing a football down the hall or that the sports team has taken this opportunity to play tackle football.

You and your friends are headed to someone’s car, chatting about your plans for the last summer before you're senior year. You just got a summer job at the local movie theatre and feel this will be the best summer yet. You all pile in; just before pulling out of the parking lot, your friend plugs her phone into the aux and turns on this playlist. Your rom-com is about to begin.

( Can you tell I wrote fanfiction on Wattpad?)
