Time to meet some parents? Gross, Kim and Usman IT'S TOO MUCH INFORMATION, KIM Yes, Ben, sparkle! Ew Gino saved the toothbrush Ew Gino saved a fingernail Wow Ximena can't stand Mike Operations are much more expensive than the dress "I am afraid of you," is a bad thing, Hamza Hamza, to be fair, you were already reconsidering marrying her Gino and Jasmine do have a gorgeous view Gino...you are in no way ready to get married Do you think Jasmine isn't guady? So Mahogany lied about another thing...shocking So is this an AirBnB?

Thoughts on RuPaul's Drag Race season 14, episode 8

Song challenge! Aw Jasmine I think Bosco did the best at the reading challenge (and I'm right) Product placement I thought they were going to have Bosco make the groups I feel like I'd get so bored just watching other teams practice Poor Kerri Daya is being messy I love Ru's look ShangRulas were fun I got so bored during the Runettes Lady's voice sounds really altered I love Willow's look Daya is selling her look, but I don't love it Bosco's look is fabulous I'm not a fan of DeJa's look Jorgeous is adorable I'm not a fan of Jasmine's look either Angeria looks so cool Kerri looks hot but I'm not a huge fan of the look I like Lady's look Go Daya! (she's on my team) Omg keep your shoes on I'm not sure who's winning this lipsync but I'll guess Jasmine (and I'm right) Next time is DragCon panels with Nicole Byer!

"Are you?" replied Derek. "Hey, I asked first," said Stiles. Derek listened a bit to the pack running around the house. He hadn't brought up yet that they would have to sleep in shifts. He could see how much they needed to let off some steam. "I'm only okay if you're okay," Derek replied quietly. "I feel safe," said Stiles, "Besides, I like having everyone together." Derek bristled a bit at 'everyone,' since he didn't enjoy nor trust having Allison around, but Stiles let the bristle slide. Stiles knew this and was glad that Derek was able to put things aside for him. They sat together, listening to the pack tear through the house to find one another. "No fair

We go to watch a matinee and see a manatee instead

"I'm excited that we did this." "Yeah, playing hooky is the best." "Is it playing hooky if we both took personal days?" "Shh. It's more fun if we say we're playing hooky." "Okay, fair enough." "This movie has gotten great reviews." "I've heard, but I haven't read them." "Yeah, best to avoid spoilers." "Did you?" "Did I what?" "Avoid spoilers." "Maaaybe." "Oh it's not fun if you know who did it." "It is fun to make you think I know who did it though." "Har dee har har." "Anyways, it's been forever since I've been to a matinee."

As evening rolled around, there was yet another scramble to get the air mattresses situated in optimal places for both sleep and being awakened quickly without blocking a means of exit. It took a lot of moving around as the house, while a good size, wasn't really built for this many people to live in it all at once. Stiles watched the antics and was glad for his pack. When evening finally arrived there was the usual fight about what to get to eat, but Sheriff Stilinski loudly announced he would pay if it was pizza from his favorite place, so they all quieted down. Besides, who didn't like pizza? Ultimately though, Derek insisted on paying. He didn't make a show of it in front of the pack, rather just met the pizza guy faster than the sherif

Time to see Gino's whole head. So does Kim want to talk or not? I like Kim's dress/cover-up thing Do you have feelings for Kim, Usman? Okay so Usman changed his mind/was pressured Wait Hamza and his mom are taking their masks off once inside? I agree with Hamza's mom, the second outfit is better on him I genuinely feel bad for Jasmine Gino, you suck Mike...do you plan to live with Ximena, her kids, your dad, and your grandpa? Ella...if you can't afford this then don't do it MAHOGANY IS REAL I mean, yes, Mahogany shared doctored photos, but she's still hotter than Ben I'm not sure Gino is in love with this other woman, I think he is just a creeper Gino, this whole "they're not nudes" thing isn't helping you Hey, it's Gino's head Jasmine is furious and heartbroken and Gino is just calculating My god is Kim's son attractive (even Usman sees it) Usman is a confident man So Usman and Kim are officially together Oy if Ximena feels lik

Thoughts on RuPaul's Drag Race season 14, episode 7

Acting challenge! Oooh Daya is being shady Daya...that wasn't a super good apology Poor Lady Camden Daya, don't delight in DeJa struggling Willow's look is a tad creepy (I hate fake hands), but cool Bosco looks lovely DeJa's look fits her great, but I'm not that wowed Kerri looks hot (unsurprisingly) I'm not a fan of Jorgeous's look because it just looks like it doesn't fit to me Angeria looks great I'm also not a fan of Jasmine's look Lady really had me there I love Daya's look (but maybe I'm biased cause she's on my team) I thought Eureka was not a part of the official O'Hara family I'm not a fan of the fart jokes tbh This is going on for too long I'm surprised that DeJa is safe to be honest Ah there are no bottoms (although since you have safes and tops, the safes are the bottoms...just sayin') Sounds like Jorgeous should've been safe from the beginning Well that song is creepier than I remember I think Lady won

Thoughts on The Real Housewives of Orange County season 16, episode 10

Time for Ryne to leave. Not sure Gina's kids like Travis... I like Heather's kids and I want them to be happy Emily...Noella is kinda going through a lot This poor waiter (the word they used) Ah so Ryne left but came back (but then left again after screaming at Jen...cool, buddy) Noella is maybe going a bit far, but I get why Don't see a divorce as a failure, Jen "I now have a drug dealer named Heather Dubrow" Poor Heather's middle daughter (I missed her name) If Ryne can't go deep...how do you have a relationship?

The conversation went pretty well, just confirming Stiles's story of what happened. Derek still hated being in the police station and hated being away from Stiles more. He couldn't help but feel that Gerard had bigger plans for Stiles. Surely he knew the police would be called...or had he anticipated Stiles being alone when he caught him? Then why the mountain ash? It all rattled around endlessly in Derek's skull. Over the next few days, Stiles was never without at least two wolves, Derek made sure of that. Usually, Derek was there, but the police had had him come back more than once. Still, Derek never wanted Stiles to be without a guard. Derek desperately w

15 thoughts on The Legends of Vox Machina SPOILERS

I just caught up! I love all things Critical Role I'm here for the ships (and have some of my own) I love the animation style I like that the show isn't afraid to go dark I think the pacing is good but the first plot line did feel a little bit rushed There is definite chemistry between the party I wonder how much they were inspired by fan art I need to watch all of the watchalongs for behind-the-scenes info They got some great voice actors The music works perfectly You can go into it knowing nothing about campaign one (but you will pick up easter eggs if you've watched the campaigns) There better be more than one season I wonder if they'll eventually make the other campaigns into animated series I will rewatch with anyone who wants to watch I can't wait for Friday and more episodes (though I don't want it to end) (Prompt by me) The Legends of Vox Machina Amazon.

Thoughts on RuPaul's Drag Race season 14, episode 6

Design challenge! Oooh drama is starting Kerri is funny Are these meetings with Ru and Carson actually useful? Ru...you didn't give them material that stretches... Daya is going to have some similarities to Crystal since their drag sisters... We'll see if Jorgeous can pull out a last minute outfit Poor Kerri I love Ru's look Lady's look is fun I'm not a fan of Jasmine's look Daya's look is kooky I'm also not a fan of Maddie's look (but I like her makeup and hair) I like Willow's look Bosco's look is great DeJa looks lovely I like Angeria's dress, but her makeup isn't my favorite I love Jorgeous's hair, but I'm not a fan of the dress I'm not a fan of Kerri's look (I feel like I'm getting harsher as the season goes on) Don't quote Coco Chanel...she was a nazi Huh I didn't know Michelle was adopted I can't believe Jorgeous won I need to watch Untucked Jasmine is winning this lip sync (and I'm right) Wh

15 thoughts on Death on the Nile SPOILERS

I saw my first movie in theaters since the pandemic and wanted to write a bit about it. I did not think it was Gal Gadot who died I definitely thought I had figured out the crime several times (I did eventually but only after several wrong guesses) I loved the costumes Poirot's mustache was ridiculous It was super convenient (and odd) that the staff of the boat left every night Also, those poor staff who had to deal with five deaths at their place of business and had to carry two of the bodies around like it was a normal part of their job It did take a while to get to a death Gotta love the secret lesbian reveal I wonder if in the original book there were Black characters (I'm not at all complaining that they were in the movie, I'm just curious about the source material) Sometimes the special effects just weren't good enough There was more music in it than I thought there would be I'm not sure the opening scene of Poirot during the war was necessary There sure were

Time for Jen and Ryne to fight. Noella apologized, everyone calm down I'm glad they're having a little bit of fun Jen's daughter is harsh Are they all going to fit on the boat? I like everyone having serious conversations Is "The Quiet Woman" a headless woman? I find this offensive I don't think I want to know what Noella's gift was Jen...go to therapy It does, Gina Noella and Gina are DRUNK Jen...wanting your dad from your husband is a thing you should talk about in therapy Ryne might prefer to be off camera...

A diary entry from my new D&D character

I made a new character so I figured I'd do this prompt again! Dear Diary, Made some good money today. I played my lyre in the tavern and overheard some insane gossip. I can tell you anything so I'll just spill. Mr. Gerard has been seen canoodling, if you will, with Mr. Bastion! Now this wouldn't be that juicy except for the fact that Mr. Bastion is Mr. Gerard's brother-in-law! Can you even?  I also overheard something while I was taking my daily swim. It's so lovely to be able to swim in the river. I feel connected to Geshtai whenever I do and to my heritage, whatever exactly that may be. Anyways though, I was swimming and I managed to go unnoticed by a couple in a boat. The couple was discussing marriage plans but I realized that while they were clearly a couple, holding hands, kissing, they were discussing marrying other people for money. Now I have my suspicions that they mean the other parties some harm, so I will be telling Aborlar about this just in case. Sinc

"I won't," Derek whispered. He squeezed Stiles's hand again and then said, "Erica, I know you're listening. Tell everyone that Stiles is ready for them." "I'll gather the troops," said Erica in the waiting room, but Derek heard her anyways. "They're on their way," said Derek softly to Stiles. Stiles smiled. "You know, you can sit down, Derek." Derek, without letting go of Stiles's hand, reached back with his right leg, caught the leg of the nearby chair, and dragged it towards the bed. He sat down and gently placed a kiss on Stiles's hand. The two of them shared a quiet, calm moment before the door burst open with the whole pack and Stiles's dad. Everyone rushed to hug Stiles, one by one and wish their
