New tablet
I can now read ebooks! I use the library app, Hoopla and it's awesome to be able to save money on so many books because I don't have a library close to my home. I had a shitty prepaid phone and now with this tablet, I feel like I'm apart of the world again. To see all the apps I've been missing out on.
And I get to listen to audio books which I didn't know "audio dramas" were made for some books. It's awesome hearing every character have a different voice actor vs one person reading the whole book themselves. I love hearing music and sound effects and background chatter while the characters talk or narrate.
That would be perfect for Stephen King's IT. That monster reveal and battle would only look good as it does in my head if it stays in my head. That book would be amazing as an audio drama.
(Here's my Goodreads because I'm too lazy to list all the books I loved over spring and summer.)

Plus, thanks to my tablet, it feels nice to finally have a good camera to use for pictures and videos.
Rappers & Vocal teachers react to 90s-2000s rock
I listened to these songs so many times, since I was little, without fully knowing the meaning. I only liked them for the sound and beat. Now I'm falling in love with these bands all over again after learning the message of the lyrics. Because I only cared about the sound and not the writing, I feel like it's fate that I'm moved by rock music. Soft and heavy songs.
Became a bigger Slipknot fan because of reaction channels. Makes me upset that I missed out on so many of their live shows. I've never cared about concerts before because I was satisfied with the studio versions but now I get it. Concerts are a great way to get to know the band and see the energy they put into their music as they play together.
Movie & tv show reactors watch Hazbin Hotel
On my Hazbin Hotel rewatch I got to really know how good the songs are. I liked them the first time I heard them but I didn't realize just how special they were compared to other musicals until it was pointed out by reactors. The songs info dump (in a good way) vs other musicals waste time trying to have a catchy song just get people to sing along.
Hazbin Hotel makes sure every word makes sense in their songs. The "yeahs" in Poison are to represent him having sex vs the "yeahs" in other pop songs. Love it! And if someone isn't into any musical styled songs, the show makes sure the song is too important to skip. So, people are getting lore and character background out of listening to a 2 minute song. Instead of angerly waiting for it to end.
Plus, most songs are more like rap battles which anyone can find interesting.

Japanese people are sick of it too with how much they love Hazbin Hotel. This show is giving them something they want. Something different. Something where the villains aren't redeemable but still have a fanbase. (Valentino and Adam)
The Boys S4
The sex scenes are actually fun to watch, they are the only ones I don't mute or skip because they are so fucking funny and weird. The Boys makes fun of sex by having sex.
The ones complaining about people like me, who hate sex scenes, say that we hate art... I guess I hate art then! Ha. Wild that everything is black and white for some people.
Anyway, I really love the new black female character, she was instantly interesting and likeable.

Scum's Wish
I loved what this show ALMOST did. I want another story like this but actually explains that the characters are discovering what an open relationship is. I get the main characters not labeling it because they're teens and this is new to them both.
But the adult characters shouldn't be calling it "cheating" when they are fine with them sleeping around. That's an open relationship. Cheating is a secret. A lie. But the show makes it known and the character says they accept that life style if they can stay by their side.
Some people need to feel free but still have something to come home to and others are good with just focusing on one person. Some people don't like sharing, while others don't mind it. And I wish the anime showed it in that light; different and new, instead of twisted and wrong.
I wish it showed examples of when characters cheat vs when they have multiple partners and communicate that.
I only seen the anime so who knows, maybe the manga does evolve and go into all that. So, I'll be reading it soon to find out for myself.

Corey Taylor
After finding out about him from reaction channels, (I knew Slipknot but I never looked up the names, or faces, of the band members) I went down the rabbit hole of his writing and personality. I don't get celebrity crushes often but I have one now. I bought all his books after listening to the audio version and then I read them to highlight and leave notes in. I loved that it was like he had a solo podcast.
I can't wait for his next book and to get it day one!
I can't wait for his next book and to get it day one!
I wonder if he would ever write a whole fiction novel. I loved his comic, it reminded me of Alan Wake. And I loved the little comedy story at the end of his first book.
I love his passion for music and how he understands the pros and cons of new tech:

Bad stuff:
A take made by the Youtuber, StuffCelineDoes:
I seen your other red flags in the comments you've sent me but when I add those with this one...that was enough for me to know that you need to stay in the world of Harry Potter, and other YA and middle grade books. Those stories bleed stereotypes and cliches for you to feel comfortable in.
(She has been open to loving those books. I'm not just adding those in to throw words at her. She actually reads them.)
I've never seen someone have a fucking huge library in their home and still be closed minded to different logic in each fictional story. She goes into fiction with a real world mindset. She may be the biggest reader with the simplest mind that I have come across.
And the Youtuber, teddygreyonstuff is a piece of work too but for a different and more serious reason. I made a whole post about him. Here's the link.
He insults the new singer in Linkin Park which doesn't always mean sexist, it's okay to criticize her because everyone has different tastes. BUT combine that with everything in the link, he is sexist.
He says her screams aren't that good if she can't hold the scream live like she does in the studio version. I'm sick of women needing to be 10 times better than men in order to get the same level of respect. The old singer couldn't hold the scream live as he did in the studio version either. But he gets a pass for breaking up the yell? Fuck off, both singers are impressive.
I think this means I should stay way from people with the word "stuff" in their username. (I'm joking but isn't that a funny coincidence?)
The cozy channel girl isn't too bad if you don't talk to her in the comments and have a disagreement about something. She's annoying in those moments but not an openly problematic person like teddy is. Feel free to enjoy her videos if you already do. She made it personal with me and tried to act like she didn't after I called her out on it but that shouldn't effect anyone else from enjoying her channel. I'm sharing this because this is my blog space. My digital diary to look back on.
I talked to ChatGPT about it (LOL) vs talking to people who might just agree with her if they also hated the ending to Stephen King's IT or just agree with me if they didn't hate it. And it's not the disagreement on the book I had an issue with, it was her turning the conversation into an attack when I thought we were having fun sharing why we were effected by the ending differently.
And most people wouldn't be able to ignore the topic of the book when I ask if she was rude or if I was overreacting.
While A.I. has no opinion on book endings. Unless it's programed to and I doubt the creators of ChatGPT give a fuck about making it favor certain books.
(I copy and pasted our comments since I couldn't send screenshots. It says it was removed but luckily the A.I. was still able to see it, even though I can't):
BUT teddy doesn't deserve his following because a lot of his subscribers have no idea who he really is. I found out he's sexist from his content behind the paywall. It wasn't ONE thing he said, it wasn't ONE sentence he posted; click the link above for screenshots and video clips.
Helluva Boss sucks. Bad songs. Annoying voices that I can't believe are written to sing.... And the writing is trash. I made a post comparing it to Hazbin Hotel. Here's the link.
Best fanfictions I have found
I want to create physical copies of these just in case they get deleted for whatever reason. I'm looking into bookbinding.
V.2: Apotheosis is a Cyberpunk 2077 fanfic about female V choosing to let Jonny have her body and live a life again while she stays in the digital world. Delamain goes to find her and brings her back into the physical world by making her a body.
V is not out of character (yay!) and Delamain was written well as an A.I. character. I left a comment on the last chapter saying that this story is so good, I can see it being DLC for players who choose that ending.
I loved that this story makes Delamain a close friend of V's because that was the only phone call we were missing at the end of the game. I wish the game treated his friendship just as important as the other characters that V helps out.
The Lookalike is a Hazbin Hotel fanfic about an original character who looks like Alastor but doesn't act like them. They are in hell for a reason so this character isn't a good person. They aren't an asshole but they aren't like almost every other OC that is a fucking goodie-goodie. This OC can actually think for themselves. It's refreshing to read.
In the first chapter they are shocked to be in hell and have a bit of a break down but after that chapter, they are awesome. They fuck Vox and Alastor, alone and then together.
I left a comment after finishing this story too.

Open Roads
Reminds me of my mom and I; what it's like trying to connect with each other. I like that the game doesn't make them come off as best friends. They stay mother and daughter and the frustrating limit that holds them back from becoming friends.
Emily is Away 2 and 3
It was nice feeling like a teenager again. Playing these games back to back (and then Open Roads). It was a nice week of reflecting on my childhood.
Alone in the Dark 2024
It feels like an old horror mystery game with cheesy dialogue and awkward character movements in cutscenes. I loved it! It felt like a game I've played before as a kid.
I don't know if the cheesiness and unusual ways the characters react were on purpose but it was awesome because it seemed like it was making fun of how older horror games used to be. It made the game feel dated!
A fun game to reply with the filter on!

Reminds me of Doki Doki Literature Club because the videogame characters feel like they're talking to the player. Feels like the characters have self-awareness. I love it.
Maxxxine
I liked the ending and this character's journey. She knows what she wants and nothing will stop her but she's also very likeable. She's not heartless. She cares for others who could become good friends to her. I recommend watching Pearl first then X. That's how I watched them and it was perfect because I had no idea what was going to happen in Pearl but you will if you watch X first.
(Also, Pearl is a different character from X and Maxxxine but it's the same actress. So, I'm not talking about her, I'm talking about Maxine not being heartless.)

Late Night with the Devil
A very unique movie that I've seen in a while. I loved how they told the story. I loved the ending. They didn't lose me with the information dump. They had me the whole time.
I Saw the TV Glow
Another unique one but I didn't like some of it. It got a little boring in moments but I still recommend it. (3 out of 5 stars!)
Humane
I usually don't like comedy in horror movies but this one needed it. It wouldn't have worked if it was serious throughout the whole story. The comedy helped us not totally hate certain characters and be open to enjoying them. It helped it make sense when the characters stopped to hear each other out. When realistically, there is no getting onto someone's good side again once people do what some of these characters do.
Longlegs
The main character has the personality as one of the main characters in Nope, the main character in The Queen's Gambit and the main character of Mr. Robot. I loved it. I want to see more autistic main characters. They're awkward and shy but they aren't dorky nor quirky.
Anime tries to do characters like that but they're not realistic like they are in Longlegs, Nope, The Queen's Gambit and Mr. Robot. (Please do better, anime!)
These character types aren't stupid. "Boring," I'll give you when you compare them with other characters around them but calling them stupid is a shitty take.

Bad stuff:
A take made by the Youtuber, StuffCelineDoes:
Yes, autistic characters CAN be stupid, sure but not because of how they are. Saying "quite stupid and incompetent" is obvious what you were getting at; you expected her to be the normal, confident, professional agent vs the awkward and quiet agent. Adding "quite" and "incompetent" is extreme IF that wasn't what you were getting at. Just, "I found our main character stupid for an FBI agent" wouldn't hit me as hard because it's just a vague sentence, it's barley a red flag.
But the fact that "stupid" wasn't enough for you and then "quite stupid" STILL wasn't enough, you had to add in "incompetent."
She was still brave and did her job. So, tell me what is "quite stupid and incompetent" about her because no one else is saying that when they complain about the movie.
