recap | june 2022

warning: might contain spoilers (namely: stranger things)

FANDOM

• finally watched venom 2! it was a lot of fun. i usually watch movies in their original audio, but this time the italian dub did an amazing work on the delivery of a certain line lmao. i also watched red notice one night when i was bored, and i didn't dislike it (i liked the twist at the end) but i feel like action movies lately have issues with the pacing of the action sequences. they're too long! the chase and the fight are supposed to give you adrenaline, not "ugh okay tell me when it's over" vibes!
• i've been chewing through the first few seasons of community and im really liking it. a bit relieved i didn't watch it too soon bc i would've absorbed abed's personality wholesale and that would've been an issue. i also watched stranger things vol.2 and well. im gonna have to watch s5 just to be properly disappointed about will's storyline, i guess. im a bit shocked with their decisions for eddie's storyline and it just cemented my suspicions about him being another flavor of billy. questionable choices! i genuinely don't care enough about the rest to be disappointed about it haha but will. dammit.
• im really behind with my goodreads challenge. we finished the simon snow trilogy with anyway the wind blows; my fave book is still the second installment, but it was a good ending and a satisfying read. next for the book club was small gods: i struggled a bit with tpratchett's writing this time for whatever reason, but the book itself was really good and full of little smart things that i enjoyed. a masterclass in reflections about heavy topic but done with good faith and in an entertaining way.
• i finally played disco elysium and well. im heavily compromised. i expected to enjoy it but i didn't expect to find it so interesting! and i absolute would kill and die for kim kitsuragi (like most of the fandom anyway, i know im not special)(im not quite thinking about writing fic for it but, i have a few ideas...)

WRITING

the less is said the better. it was a complete failure. i did a little progress but not enough.

ART+CRAFT

im keeping up with my sunday flower sketches; im quite happy with how they're turning out but i wish i had more energy to dedicate to drawing... on the other hand, i finally finished the damn blanket!! i finally started officially on the next project, cutting the linen for the shirt. i hope to getting it done in july. i had quite a push to plan more things to sew...
