for once i'm almost on time?? what's happening to me??? may hasn't been too bad to me, despite a few little bumps along the way (family... sigh...) maybe it's the fact that days are finally longer and sunlight is improving my mood. maybe i'm just a slut for summer. i don't know what it is, but i'm glad that it's happening. dreading june and july, ngl, i will be neck deep into my studies and i have exams lined up until the end of july. i also have to start thinking about my thesis and i'm not feeling the vibes.
but we're not here for my complaining. under the cut a few things that i enjoyed this month.
starting off with the biggest brainworm of them all
books
- the jasmine throne, tasha shuri: did you say fantasy wlw? did you say mistrusting lovers who know the other could kill them, destroy, and betray them any minute but still decide to trust them? yeah. yeah i did say that. i have not finished this yet (i'm 85% in so like, almost there). but god. god do i recommend it. i highlighted so many parts and it's simply driving me insane. i need to write about it i think, i will probably do once i'm done with it. a few lines that make my blood boil:
Oh, vows could be broken. Of course they could. And yet Priya was… not entirely a safe person to lie to.
And worse still, Malini did not want to break a promise to her.
There was a sound, somewhere below them. Priya’s jaw hardened.
“Promise me this, or one way or another, you die here.”
“You’ll kill me after all, Priya?”
“No, you fool woman,” Priya said, eyes blazing. “No. Never me.”
“This face. This face right in front of me. The face you've shown me, the fact that you kissed me. I know it. I know you,' said Priya, 'I know exactly who you are. There are other versions of you that I don't know. But this one...' Her fingers were against Malini's lips. 'This one is mine.”
What do you want from me?
And even more dangerous.
What do I want from you?
it's a lot. i have like 300 more quotes and they're all equally devastating. please read it and then come to scream at me about it.
music
let's go besties let's go
- seventeen, face the sun: they did it again. THEY DID IT AGAIN. these men are geniuses, woozi is the loml. this album is a MASTERPIECE i haven't stopped listening to it ever since it dropped, i'm having the time of my life. hot is so fucking good, it hypes me in the most wonderful way and makes me wanna dance so badly. don quixote tickles the inside of my brain. march, ash, domino, and shadowwww grrrr grrrrr i love them they're all so different from each other but so seventeen. if i leave you, devastating. my least fave track on the album is 'bout you but the boys seemed so happy performing it and it's already grown on me a bit. amazing. HOT/10
- astro, candy sugar pop:SUMMER SONG!!!!! MAGICAL!!!!! EUNWOO MARRY ME!!!!!!!!!
- got7, nanana: theyyyyyyyyyyy they're backkkkkkkkk ugh this feels like a warm hug after a long time apart. so sweet.
- my chemical romance, the foundation of decay: when this dropped i almost woke up my brother by yelling. it was sudden and so unexpected, and it's such an mcr thing to do, ugh. i love them so much i can't wait to see them on saturday ;-; i'm soooo excited, will let you know how it goes!!
- bvndit, venom: this one had to grow on me a little bit but now it makes me go crazy stupid. my ladies always deliver.
movies:
- doctor strange and the multiverse of madness: i have so many feelings about MoM.
(spoilers ahead)
i knew they'd make wanda a villain. i knew it in my core, and still my heart dropped. tbh i'm not mad about the fact that they made her a villain per se, because after everything she went through i would've beccome a villain as well. what i think should have been done better, is show WHY she became a villain. why the way she was left alone, abandoned by the rest of the avengers to deal with all of her grief, was the driving force that lead her down the path she went through. but hey, it's a marvel movie. what did i expect, that they treat women like humans? ha, tough luck. anyways. i support women's rights and more importantly i support women's wrongs.
i don't care about the new girl they introduced: she had two moms and wears an lgbt pin, but that isn't enough to make her an interesting character, i'm sorry. she felt bland.
i liked the movie, i did. a lot. some scenes made me cry (when wanda wakes up and realizes that the dream about her kids is just that, a dream. the way the music cuts and we're punched in the face with crude reality just like wanda is. felt that in my stomach). the scene in which she whispers "run". elizabeth olsen carried the movie, her performance was incredible. i hope she wins an oscar for this, and i'm not joking. she deserves it.
doctor strange himself, well, he didn't really feel like the protagonist of this movie. sure he's cool and he got a new eye (wtf, btw???) but i mean. i didn't really care about him either ;-; i was there for wanda and wanda only. i hope she gets her own movie soon.
the captain carter cameo was good only because i was fucking missing hayley atwell, but aside from that the fight scene between wanda and the illuminati was kinda meh.
all in all a great movie only because i tuned out all the parts i didn't care about and focused on how sexy wanda is. 8/10.
see you next time homies, and i hope you're all well!! sending kisses!! mwah mwah, lilli out!!
