🕑 Added 2024-03-05 14:22:33 +0000 UTCHello!
Sometimes I get caught in a cycle of the same movies, books, activities, and whatever else. If you also suffer from this, I hope this small collection of recommendations can be of some help.
P.S. These are obviously just things I like and if you don’t like them too, then that’s absolutely a-okay ❤️
✨TV Shows:✨
Peep Show:
“People like Coldplay and voting for the Nazis! You can’t trust people, Jeremy.”
“You like blowjobs, don’t you, Mark?’ - “I’m eating a fruit corner, Jeremy.”
“Sucky-fucky is not a long term plan!”
Anne of Green Gables (1985):
Cottagecore, wholesomeness and a big dollop of the feels. Anne of Green Gables will make you cry, swoon and snuggle joyful into your bed. It’s a timeless, heart-warming story of resilience, love and family. Please give it a watch.
✨Books:✨
Fingersmith - Susan Waters:
Victorian England, poor girl and rich girl switching places, and lesbians slowly releasing that they are, infact, lesbians. If you love morally grey women, dastardly plots and the theme of ’no one’s really the bad guy, but everyone’s done some fucked up shit’ - this one is for you.
White Oleander - Janet Finch:
Narcissistic mothers, nonchalant murders and the ugly creatures loneliness makes of us all. White Oleander follows a teenage Astrid as she’s torn from her mother and placed in the foster care system. It’s domestic horror at its finest - uncomfortable, bittersweet and very real. A piece of fiction that stays with you long after you’ve finished reading. I love stories where complicated parent-child relationships are explored in all their ugly glory, and White Oleander doesn’t disappoint.
If I Can’t Have You - Charlotte Levin:
Why do broken crazy people make such irresistible protagonists? There’s probably an in-depth explanation, but for now, let’s just admit that some of us enjoy watching crazy from the sidelines. Follow Constance as she projects her loneliness onto her charming, yet undeniably, awful boss. I loved that both characters are deeply flawed, and whilst Constance’s actions are never excused, the love interest is shown to be a piece of work himself. It’s not so much, villain and victim, more two fucked up people orbiting each other.
The Hunger Games - Suzanne Collins:
Not to be written off as ‘just another young adult series’, The Hunger Games is a rich and important story about power, cycles of violence and the importance of nurturing our own humanity. I won’t spoil anything, but I think it’s vey easy to dismiss something when you get caught up in its genre or marketing. The Hunger Games is about people, and so naturally it’s about complexity, shades of grey and the struggles of retaining goodness in trying times.
✨Music:✨

Genesis - Otyken
Wouldn’t It Be Nice - Trousdale
Plus-Size Freestyle - Samyra

Thanks for letting me know about Lake Street Dive's cover of Walking on Broken Glass. Neat to hear a tune I loved from over 30 years ago with new sound.
