hello! i think i am doing better? i don’t know. someone i really respect (michael brooks) passed away which just made me sad about the world again.

it’s been about a month, how are you guys? what have you been watching? i want to get into a kdrama but i am so picky right now. it can’t be romantic if it isn’t my style and if it’s a thriller or detective show it must be good. it’s slim pickins out here.

i haven’t been doing much outside of drawing and a bit of work copy editing. some org stuff. america and the pandemic isn’t…going great so. wherever you are, hope you’re happy and healthy. just wanted to pop in because i miss you guys. i wish there were better things to say, funner things to do

how. ev. er. stranger. season. 2. i….am…………….INFINITELY HYPE

    I’m trying to manage my expectations around Stranger S2 and failing miserably.

    So glad to see you, Amara! Glad you’re feeling better.

      i know i know i know i know i know oh my god. that’s my biggest fear. i am hoping the 3 year break means that an amazing, thoughtful, socially challenging story was being written. it’s so hard to not know what to expect.

      you too!!! thank you! how are you doing?

        Struggling, honestly. I’m finding lockdown harder than I thought it would be and being winter here it doesn’t help. Winter and I are not friends. Winter is my bitterest enemy. Usually this time of year I’d go north to see my parents but now I can’t in case I kill them so here I am. Stuck in the cold.

        I’m better than most people. My job is stable. I earn a good wage. But it’s still a bit of a struggle.

          it’s so weird to hear you say that (about winter) but i feel you. i definitely get SAD (lol) i’m sorry even the sunshine isn’t there to help. you guys are doing way better over there than here right? i hope your parents are okay.

          and yea, of course, it’s hard. i feel for the most marginalized and want to help so bad but there’s only so much we can do. literally, physically, figuratively. it’s disheartening. i want this to be over so badly, it’s crushing.

          @/theuniverse now are the times i would like a miracle !

    The world isn’t doing great. It was depressing. I wasn’t feeling good either but I am feeling way better. Also please avoid reading any Backstreet Rookie comments for sanity reasons. I am pretending they don’t exist.

      i am glad you’re feeling better. i know there’s a futility behind it, but things will get better. something has to give. i keep telling myself this.

    amara! I was just thinking about you and hoping you were doing all right and would pop back in for a chat.

    Everything is crap, but hopefully Stranger 2 won’t be because we need it to be good. But I have no expectations. None at all. (who am I kidding? I’m sure this will break my heart too, but please please don’t)

    Anyways, good to see your name on the fanwall again.

      hi!!! how are you doing? i hope it’s not too hot over there.

      maybe it is good to have high expectations so they can exceed it. we don’t want to jinx it but fiojsuahfgoai if it isn’t good that will be heartbreaking.

      thank you so much. i miss you guys! i’m sorry i can’t be on more, i’m just so emotional these days

        pfft, don’t apologize for trying to deal with, well everything, as best you can. Things are what they are, and I’m still here, so that’s okay for now.

    Glad to see you back. I’ve been missing your posts.
    Right now and even if I’m watching some dramas the one who has all my love is Memorials / Into the ring.
    And you’re not alone waiting to Stranger S2.

        I had only seen her in Kill it, and this a complete opposite role, and she’s nailing it. But, I just think that the drama is perfect in everything so…

            I’m loving it more and more every episode: the visuals, the story, the rom com, the weirdly cute love story, the music. It’s a long time since I enjoyed a show this much (I’ve enjoyed watching My Unfamiliar Family or IONTNO but at some point there was something I wasn’t totally convinced of). Not even Mystic Pop Up Bar (which I adored!!!!) made me watch it with the wide smile I watch Memorials… am I being too enthusiastic?

            i miiiight pick it up but i think im still in the mood for just drama and sadness lmao. it reminds me of city hall and that’s a huge draw. i watched most of mystic pop up bar. i don’t think i will finish bc i don’t have the attention span but WHEN I TELL YOU I CRIED? WHEW BOY!

            you’re not being too enthusiastic! i hope it’s satisfactory until the end! there are some dramas that just make/made us smile (i used to feel this way about sus partners, and i will always feel this way about special det inspector jo)
