my pathetic attempt at combating my habit of mindless consumption. everytime I consume a piece of media, I have to write at least a few sentences about it. this will be a page full of my opinions and an exposure to my shit taste. going back to elementary school and forcing myself to write mini book report again to make sure my brain keeps working

Superman (2025) | watched 7/28/25

Peak. So fucking good. Amazing. Reminds me a lot of My Adventures with Superman. Superman should always be a cornball.

Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu - March of the Oni (season 10) | started: 7/28/25 - finished: 7/28/25

Only four episodes, so it was a quick watch on my current rewatch of Ninjago.

spoilers i guess

I know that this is the end of the Oni trilogy, but I don’t remember it being this dark. This show is known for its fakeout deaths, but they really do try their best to make us think that Cole is actually dead of his fall. And then we get fakeout death #2 with Lloyd talking with his grandfather. Of course Lloyd doesn't take the deal to go to the other side, because he’s God’s favorite princess and has to keep being a main character. It’s a bit funny that they pulled two fakeout deaths over the course of four episodes, yet they KILLED MYSTAKE OFF SCREEN LAST SEASON. Still mad about that to this day.

Rise of Kyoshi | started: 7/14/25 - finished: 7/29/25

A lovely entry into the Avatar world, I look forward to reading the rest of the novel series. I at first thought there were only two books on Kyoshi, but I have just now found out there are actually four more books following Yangchen and Roku, so that will be very exciting. I enjoyed this with all my heart, but can only really recommend it if you are already a fan of the animated series.

My year of rest and relaxation | started: 7/26/25 - finished: 7/27/25

The audiobook was on sale so I bought it on impulse. I already loved the book and wanted to own the audio book. It’s been a while since I’ve read the book, and I only ever have the urge to read it when I’m going through the worst shit imaginable just to make myself feel worse, which probably isn’t the healthiest behavior.

I do find it a bit strange that this book had become the face of “girlbloggers” and “male manipulators”, turning this gritty and unfiltered depiction of depression into an aesthetic.

Our nameless narrator is truly insufferable, and that’s why I love her so much. She is clearly going through extreme mental health issues, and uses her wealth and privilege to deal with her issues in the worst way possible. She is so annoying, but at the same time I would have also tried to sleep for a year if I had the means to do so. I love Reva, but maybe only because she reminds me about the worst parts about myself.

Later on in the book, the narrator is a lot nicer to Reva after the funeral. When she finally finishes her “rest cure”, she calls Reva to meet up and tells her that she loves her for the first time. The narrator finally comes around to appreciate Reva after all these years, only to never see her ever again. Did the narrator want to kiss Reva? I think so, but that’s just me.

Also, the narrator’s obsession with Whoopi Goldberg is really funny to me.

It seemed strange to me that the narrator’s plan to lock herself in her apartment actually seemed to work. But then Reva dies and she watches the video of a woman who might be Reva over and over again, making the ending bittersweet.
