well,

(spoilers: for the movie  close encounters,  these puppets are shown for the first time as a big reveal, so if you haven't watched it and want to be surprised by these silly little guys as the movie intended, stop reading) i love puppets in movies. no amount of incredible cgi could ever make me feel they way practical effects do. i love it specially when it looks bad, when you can tell it is a puppet, or a costume, or a miniature playing with perspective. the thought of the artistry and the craft behind it makes me so happy, it brings me so much joy, i can't help but to go back and rewatch it, screenshot it, clip it, make it into a gif, or a stupid video for my friends where you can hear me barely holding my laughter in the background.  a couple days ago i read an entry on narna's digital journal  rating a few movies they liked, and Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) was there. you can always count me in to watch a movie about aliens, so i downloaded it immed...

  GOAT (2026)  ☆☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ not long ago i was complaining on tumblr about how they don't make good movies anymore, but had to eat my words as soon as i watched GOAT,  this movie was so much fun to watch, the character designs were absolute perfection, the animation was incredible, the story was very very good. i enjoyed every single second, and i will be rewatching it a lOt.       ₊˚ ✧ ‿︵‿୨୧‿︵‿ ✧ ₊˚      SUPERGIRL (2026)  ☆☆ ☆ ☆ i had fun ! !!  i famously don't enjoy superhero movies, but one thing i will always enjoy is women killing evil men. it was also so nice and refreshing to see a movie with only women main characters (not sexualized) (no stupid romance with an ugly man no one likes). overall it was a good solid movie, i related to the characters (i would also go bat shit crazy if they did that to my dog), i laughed, i got emotional, and it had a very satisfying ending.     ₊˚ ✧ ‿︵‿୨୧‿︵‿ ✧ ₊˚     TH...

i almost dnf this book several times, because i was bored, then for a second i actually dnf-ed around chapter 31.      i read this scene and it was so extremely silly, it took me out of the story. i had like a quick reality check, like i'm literally reading the stupidest most boring shit ever, for no reason. well that's a lie, there was a reason: yaoi.  it's not news to anybody, there's so little good queer representation out there, gay people will just watch/read anything that kinda lowkey could be interpreted as gay, even if it's trash or literal queerbait. we are known to be able to enjoy terrible tales by headcanoning  them until they're good. i mean, that's how fanfiction got invented, right ? i started this saga looking for a simple easy read with an enemies to lovers gays storyline, and i will be fair and say it: that's exactly what i got. in fact, if you go back and read my reviews for the first 2 books ( here / here ), you will see i was genuin...

two entries ago i made a post asking if it was a good idea to start a pokemon card collection , i shared all the cons and pros, all my favorite pokemons, and all the possible collections i would like to start.  ever since then, i've been thinking about it, looking at my favorite little guys, and curating a power point presentation to get a better picture of the whole vibe, to make the best possible decision.  (this is part of the fun of collecting to me, researching, lurking, making lists, mood boards, designing an aesthetically pleasing display)  here's the ppt: (i'm not a pokemon expert, big BIG chance i forgot to add someone) starting with the monkeys,     let me know if you agree and why am i wrong !     now the cards are in no particular order, and there's more cards i like that are not here, i would probably try to fill at least one page per pokemon, but i can say i would die for a few of these. those being: the realistic slaking, the rainbow man...

this is the trying to post every day of october challenge !! ! i used to come here more often, i used be able to log in every day and read at least 3 new entries from the blogs i follow, it's not the case anymore, now it's more like a 2 every month. i was complaining about it in my head, and feeling sad people were maybe leaving their blogs behind, then realized i've been also posting less and less every month. i can't complain about people not posting when i am not posting as much myself ! that's why i've decided to challenge myself to post as much as possible this month, the goal is 1 per day, but i would be happy with more posts than last month. i'm gonna start with something simple: a trinket haul ! !! cute little things i've been getting the past few months that i haven't shown in here yet.   ☆1 bratziez sticker. yes, just the sticker. i only buy blind boxes if i love every single option equally, or if it's already opened and i know what i...

   >hi !  i've been wanting to collect pokemon cards for a while now, here's what's stopping me:  i live in a small town where a pokemon card event has never ever happened (and it probably never will), so i would either: have to pull the cards i want (very expensive) or just get them online (not as fun as finding them organically).  i don't see real value on the cards, and i think it's stupid to pay more than 3€ for a mass produced piece of paper no matter how unique, shiny or rare it is.  when i was a kid i used to collect the transparent pokemon cards, do you remember them ? i had soooo many, i basically had the whole collection on a binder, and then enough repeats to make several playing decks. i had so much fun ! ! opening packs, playing, trading, filling the binder, looking thru the pages. the whole experience was great.  photo from an ebay listing   i recently finished my red velvet album collection, it's complete until they drop somethi...
