- this is a sideblog for reviews of movies, series, books, albums, etc (really the only type of media i canât do is video games, because i do not have the equipment)
- recommendations welcome! if you give me something you think iâll like, i will do my best to consume it and give my honest opinion!
- i speak spanish, english, and portuguese (to an extent), and am the no. 1 lover of subtitles, so donât worry about a language barrier. i will find a way
- it takes me days, if not weeks, of consuming stuff over and over to form coherent opinions, so im gonna make a short post when i start something and then maybe reblog that post with my first impressions, followed by a long post in detail once itâs had time to marinate. the tagging system for this will be
#start (self explanatory)
#first impressions
#album review, #movie review, #book review (you get the idea)
#[x]/10 (for rating)
#[tag for the thing]

- yes that is an anatomy model, i got it as a christmas gift when i was like 9 (i was a weird kid, if you couldnât tell based on the fact that im posting on this site)
- the flower crown is from this colonial reenactment fair i went to like, last year? maybe 2 years ago, i canât remember
- those big ass sunglasses go over my prescription glasses
- i unironically love those corny little gnomes
- i made that little brown square ceramic pot, inside it are can tabs which i am saving up to do something with
- the reason i organized it (and got rid of a couple books) is to make way for more, since i do want to get physical copies of tlt, a desolation called peace, and taz 2 as well as 7 once it drops
- i also tend to get mostly books for my birthday, which wonât be for a while but i might as well start clearing room now
- i got most of the books secondhand, a lot are from my local or school libraries (hence the stickers on the spines), they are organized left to right on authorâs last name, series are in order
- top 2 shelves are fiction

- My standouts: âYour Blood,â âA Soul With No King,â and âThe Bladeâ
- I should preface this review with the fact that AURORA was the first musician I found and listened to of my own accord, and really the only artist I listened to from the ages of 9-13, so this is going to be a pretty biased review
- This album has some of the best individual songs of her career, especially in terms of lyrics and production, which have matured a lot from her first album
- Her vocals really lend themselves to some of the more emotional tracks, while having the flexibility to make the more upbeat pop sheâs known for
- However, the album is barely cohesive, which detracts from the experience of listening and was overall pretty annoying, especially after the deluxe version dropped, which felt more like an afterthought than anything else
- In summary, AURORA is still an excellent musician, but she clearly lacked direction when making this one, which sheâll hopefully find in her new project with the Chemical Brothers
Started listening to Into the Sun and Mighty both by Lord Huron; Iâm grouping them for review purposes since theyâre short and I want to do a proper review for them
- My standouts: âLong Lost,â âNot Dead Yet,â âWhat Do It Meanâ
- This album is definitely the weirdest Lord Huron has gotten, with the interstitials and French and the 14-minute-long white noise segment at the end
- I enjoyed it, but the factors listed above do make it impossible to listen to on shuffle, which is mildly annoying. I can appreciate it from an artistic perspective, but it just isnât very practical
- It was also particularly laden with references to their other music, which I enjoyed as a fan but would be impenetrable to a casual listener
- Overall, I would say that this album is good in general, but not Lord Huronâs best work (also, points off for the French. Ick!)
- My standouts: âAncient Names (Part 2),â âSecret of Life,â and âThe Balancerâs Eyeâ
- Objectively the best Lord Huron album in terms of production and cohesion; probably my second favorite after The Cosmic Selector Vol. I
- The vibe on this one was insane, the entire album felt like a nightmare in a good way
- It struck a really good balance between being nerd shit I can theorize about and being full of catchy tunes
- The lore is as convoluted and confusing as ever, so I would only recommend this for those who either already have a basic grasp of the lore, are willing to spend hours on the wiki, or donât really care and just want to listen to some bangers
