Recent thoughts and happenings

Yes, let's just make one of those posts with lots of smaller posts lumped in together, because ah why not? Honestly I've watched some films that could probably do with some reviews, but it got too much for me and my brain and the want to blog just disappeared completely, and I'm trying to be consistent in this creative thing I try to have going, so had to reassess it a little bit and think of how to not leave this space empty for the next coming months. Writing, who would have thought it to be this hard huh?

Okay, so Love Victor, let's start there, because *aahhhh I am so excited* 

So the trailer released the other week and let me tell you I have been waiting for the release as well as the show airing for what feels like forever now. And it didn't disappoint, the tears streamed down my face, because why wouldn't they basically, I laughed, I got excited, I chuckled, I felt emotions like a normal human being in moderate amount, maybe? Probably not, if you didn't know this, I feel things excessively sometimes. But yes I think this was definitely one of my favourite shows of last year, because it was cute as hell! And sweet and the gays got a rom com finally. It ticked a lot of boxes that as a queer person myself, have been waiting ages on. It's super charming, it has a big heart, but it's also very serious and deals with some very honest and scary stuff many of us go through. While Victor is so good, the actor is great, he is joined by a supporting cast where you don't dislike anyone and it adds to the sweetness of it all. I'm ready to go back to Creakwood, for some more drama, teen angst, heartbreak and happiness. 11th of June, please come quick!

Basically I am in a long and lasting reading slump, sighs... I can't unfortunately with anything right now. Books no, words nah. Well words YES, but when written on paper, eehhh nope. So that's boring, mostly for myself because I want to be reading, I just haven't gotten then attention span right now, which sucks so much.

I've listened a lot to Olivia Rodrigo's new album and ah the angsty teenager in me is rejoicing. I feel it's an album that fits me as much today as it did ay 17. Honestly, good for her for writing such a catchy and cool album. 

Let's all talk about the 911 season finale that aired this week. Wheesh, that was an emotional ride for sure. Buck, goddamnit, that character is honestly one of the best written characters in tv history, well at least one of them. This episode broke me a little bit, because his reaction to .... well ok SPOILERS look away. His emotional reaction to Eddie getting shot, and the aftermath of it, and how he had to deal with it, and spend time with Christopher, well it was all a lot for my lil heart that feels stuff in moderate size to handle. We can maybe have a talk here on this blog about queer baiting because it has got accused of it, and while I hate goddamn queerbaiting I actually am not sure Buck and Eddie, or Buddie is a case of that. I do think that showcasing a male friendship like this, where one is a father and is actually a good one, is important too. There are few instances on television and film where men get to be just friends, because there is always that very obvious boundary present between them, so that they don't fall into the category of 'being too gay'. I think with a show that has all kinds of representation, making Buddie just friends is also kind of revolutionary. That said, would they ever take the step of making them canonically queer or a couple, I would be cheering the loudest! And in fic verse there are no rules, I will read them there any time. 

Let's talk about these babes being the actual winners of Eurovision. Yep let's talk about it. 

I mean YEP YEP YEP. This image is my favourite image of all times. I wish I could channel this every goddamn day, tho I do think this is definitely some type of alter ego of mine, or at least a parallel version of me hanging out somewhere in the world looking like this. The vibes are just EXCELLENT. They are so cool and all so gender no conformative which is GREAT and INSPIRING and yep I love everything about this. Also the song is a banger. Eurovision was a fun mess this year, like it was super tense and there was a bunch of songs that were very good so when the 12s came through they were flying off in all kinds of different directions. I have missed the Eurovision bubble, it's truly something else and this is silly, but maaan it does unite people. I might be a little bit of a romantic over that but yes it is beautiful. The real drama started happening when the people's vote came through and while Italy was seen to be a favourite, I really did doubt whether they would pull through in the end. They did and it was glorious. I also loved that Ukraine and Iceland proved to be a winning concept, which is cool weirdness that you own by looking amazing. My favourite thing is that the top 3 spots were dominated by retro queer (Italy), altar boy gay (Switzerland) and hipster lesbian (France) ahah. Basically the vibes this year were unbeatable. I was sad not to see Duncan Lawrence perform live because Arcade is an incredible song and that Iceland didn't either. Corona, sighs.... never will be rid of you.
