HANDSOME

So I started watching the Great British Bake Off a few weeks ago (ik ik I’m very late to the game) and I’m just always in awe of how wholesome it is? I feel like with competitive cooking shows like Chopped and Cutthroat Kitchen everybody is a Personality(TM) and they’re all fighting each other and doing whatever they can to come out ahead but this is just so sweet and friendly and everybody wants to do their best. Like yes, they want to win, but they also want their peers to do well and that just gives me so much joy. It honestly reminds me of that Yuzuru Hanyu quote (yes I do need to tie everything back to figure skating shh) where he was like my ideal win would be one where everyone skates clean and then I go last and skate clean and win in that they’re all just helping each other. Every time they help each other get the decorations on in time etc it makes me all happy because they’re supporting each other so genuinely and ahhhh

Idk I feel like it’s a really nice break from the way reality television is usually set up and I know that some people find it a bit boring but I hate competition and love mutual support and I love that even though the judges can be a bit harsh occasionally even they know when it’s too much and they’re not out to make anyone cry or anything (even though they end up doing it anyway sometimes). It’s just such a good show and I’m glad I finally caved to the pressure and started watching it.

i don't think its that uncommon! I've never even heard it in a fandom context, i learned about it from like social media stories and stuff

ok yes thank you! i'm glad i’m being validated haha it definitely is not a super uncommon term and i’m still confused at how confused they were

I learned it from fandom too tbh but I don't think it's that rare?

yeah ik! they googled it when i was so shocked that they didn’t know it and they were so surprised that the term has a wikipedia page and everything but it def is not that rare

But what does it mean

it’s like the way a couple first meets, but like it’s usually really cheesy and something that seems like it wouldn’t necessarily happen in real life -- like one person spilling coffee over the other and then that leads to a whole romance, stuff like that. the big sick is a great example of a meet cute

Nah that’s def a romcom thing. My mom knew what a meetcute was when I mentioned it a while back, lol

Oh my gosh I read Uprooted last year and it was SO GOOD

Thank youuuuu <3

8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?

Honestly, probably that I actually have a few friends at college bc it took a while and also I came into high school with close friends from middle school so it’s been a long ass time since I’ve been in a place where I really don’t know anybody and it was scary

24. What was the best book you read?

answered here!

28. What was your favorite film of this year?

The Big Sick!! I usually am not a romcom person but I cried ngl

30. What one thing made your year immeasurably more satisfying?

Technically I took up handlettering and calligraphy last year but I started doing it a lot more this year so I’m gonna claim this answer isn’t cheating. Both seeing other people’s work on insta and also doing it myself (shameless self plug) has been a real good time!

this is a sign. you have been Chosen
