feel like this pic perfectly sums up this ep of game changer
Yeah alcohol's cool but have you ever waltzed with your enemy in their masquerade ball, their face inches away from yours and their arms wrapped around you tightly? Me neither, pass the bottle
this reads like two guests at the back of the ballroom watching this scene unfold and I love it
house of hollow - krystal sutherland
piranesi - susanna clarke
This song has such Lazlo vibes and you cannot convince me otherwise
Poppy heals them: Oh noo, she’s going to suck the soul out of us definitely
Nyktos blesses the wedding: Wait no he turned the sky dark not because he’s the god of the night but because he’s very angry
The sky RAINS BLOOD when Poppy is BLEEDING: There is no connection at all, the blood is actually a good sign because they’re trying to make her slip and fall
I’m once again asking why going out in the snow is fun and okay but going out in the rain is all you’ll get sick?! you’ll get drenched?! ALL I want is to lie down in a field and let my thoughts drown PLEASE
NORMALIZE. GOING. OUT. IN. THE. RAIN
this has been a psa :)
Why are squirrels so violent?? Like the other day I was just looking at one and it stared straight into my soul and stood on its hind legs ready to pounce and we had a staring contest for 2 minutes straight before I backed off. Why was it so intimidating?? Who hurt it??
It knows the last thing that you could have recycled, but didn’t.
No one was supposed to know

Sometimes a good book can take you so far away, you don’t know if you ever returned

so my sleep schedule is shot anyway and I’m currently watching kdrama on Netflix. Shout out to @netflix for having my back and having just about any eclectic thing I want to watch available.
Anyway, I’m currently watching Cinderella and the Four Knights which is this cute little story about an Every(wo)man who gets pulled into the life of these ultra-rich guys and tries to turn them into human beings. I’m only on episode five at the moment but I’m going to give my review of it so far. No spoilers (just uneducated speculation) so don’t worry. First off - main cast.
We’ve got - in order: KPop Guy, Motorcycle Jerk, Main Girl, Playboy and the one I refer to with great affection as Mr. Efficient. I think on those names alone you can already tell who I like best. Taking it from the top though, thoughts so far:
KPop Guy is adorable and easily the most likeable of the lot. I cannot see him as being ‘in the running’ for wooing Main Girl but he’s honestly the best out of the three. Thoughtful, insightful and without all the built up daddy issues the other two guys seem to have, he’s a sweetheart so far and I really like how comfortable him and Main Girl are jiving together. He totally deserves the Male Bestie spot for her.
Next up is Motorcycle Jerk. They’re trying to go with Bad Boy with a Vulnerable Heart with him but he just resorts to bullying tactics too much for me to like him. I get that he’s ‘got a hard shell she has to crack/melt’ but honestly I don’t see why the effort would be worth it despite the fact the show has gone out of its way to show why he’s hurting and lashing out as a result. But every time the music kicks on and things go slow mo between him and MG I just kind of sigh and wait for it to be over. NOT rooting for this guy. The motorcycle and martial arts just aren’t enough to redeem him.
Main Girl is next and she is SO FREAKING ADORABLE!!! I am super happy she’s the center of the show, I care about what she cares about and I really feel for how wrecked her life is and yet how resilient and positive she forces herself to stay. Things are absolutely not getting handed to her on a platter and she’s so freaking cute without being oversaturated. I also love how physically tough she is and I’m quite pleased that when I muttered ‘you could just head butt him again’ she nailed the guy in the shin. Tiny cute with lion fists? Not going to apologize, I eat it up. I want whoever makes her happy for her and I’m not sure any of the three guys is it.
Playboy is, of course, the standard playboy. I’m not sure if they’re going to bring in some depth for him later or not but right now he’s just filling the ‘never had a girl that’s not cookie cutter and MG intrigues him for her lack of ‘put up with his bullshit’.’ I’m pretty sure he’s End Game for her just with the way the writing is and, so far, he’s not horrible, just standard. I don’t dislike him because he’s pretty unapologetic about what he is and upfront with it so anyone getting hurt should have seen it coming. I just don’t like him either because he hasn’t done anything to win me. I mean, I like an asshole (looking at you early game Cloud Strife) but I’d like a bit more than ‘asshole’ and ‘girl opens his eyes’.
Last, but never least, is Mr. Efficient (beloved)
He is super clearly not in the running for MG at this point but I am loving their interaction and how she loosens him up. Kpop also gets him involved in some HiJinks and its pretty cute watching them run around snickering together. Also he likes MG’s cooking so he gets points. And he is, as stated, super efficient and so far the only one that’s 1. not got his head up his ass and 2. seems to know what he’s doing. I can’t picture him romantic with MG but I do think they’re good for each other and she’s letting him be human instead of the robot his job requires of him. Plus he treats her like a human being, which is more than Motorcycle and Playboy do and I very much like him for that. He’s not for her - but I’d take him in a heartbeat.
There’s also this girl
I was hoping I could call her Bestie because she comes off a pretty sweet and kind and determined. I do like her - but she’s really got a bad case of stalker syndrome and ‘no doesn’t mean no’ when it comes to one of the guys and, having been the girl on the receiving end of that in my past, there is no way I can get behind her until she lets that shit go. Obviously something went on the past that’s not been revealed yet and my opinion may change but right now she’s not quite into ‘jealous enemy’ territory for MG but she’s hanging on way too hard to someone that has made it very obvious they don’t want to be hung on to. Plus I think its pretty heavily hinted that one of the other ‘Knights’ has a thing for her and she’d be much better off with him anyway. Kudos to the show for not, at this point, making her a bitch to MG though. Its not fun watching her get hurt over and over again and girl needs to Just Let That Shit Go and stop doing that to herself.
Bestie title goes to the friend in pink that I can’t find a picture of that is just the cutest and most supportive friend MG could have and I utterly uplift that girl. She’s top notch even if she barely gets any screen time.
There is a wicked step mother and wicked step sister (and the father’s an ass too though its obvious he’s got something going on with a side quest that will no doubt show up later) so its really easy to root for MG and be glad when she gets away from her family. I won’t be upset if raccoons eat that family. There’s some drama going on in the background with an evil wife and the CEO that brought all the Knights together but I honestly don’t care. I just like the CEO when he’s interacting with MG at this point because he gets cute and she gets to be extra cute. I suspect, as a parental figure, he sucks.
And that’s what I’ve got so far with episode five set up to go on my screen. Cute so far and I’d recommend it at this point as light hearted and not too deep fluff. I’ll come back and do a bit more once I’m further in but so far, so good.
