slightly silly: riverdale, episode 11: to riverdale and back again


the chemistry between camila mendes and kj apa is literally off the charts. i love this clip of them singing so much. and i loved how they worked together throughout this episode. the cast is starting to settle into being comfortable with one another and you can see the difference from the first handful of episodes.

more than the big homecoming dance, the drama revolving around the intricate relationships between both the adults and the teenagers in this town is what drives the story. and i just love it. with veronica and archie snooping in fp's trailer, and alice hosting fp and jughead over for the most awkward family dinner, archie's mom is in town and is totally chill hanging out with fred and hermione while keeping her motives to herself, betty figuring out that shit is going on behind her back and still not knowing the whole story, jughead enduring the double devastation of his father's arrest and his friend's betrayal, on top of polly getting drugged by penelope blossom—i mean it's all crazy bananas.

and then with fp's arrest and the knowledge that archie, betty, and veronica have that he was framed—it's all leading up to the last two episodes of the season. the mystery of jason's death will unravel, and then what? well, i think this season has set up a nice groundwork of mysteries to solve. these kids know nothing of the past and how it influences their present. i see that push–pull between the ideal and the dark continuing to impact the lives of those who live in riverdale. and i will defintiely be watching. i love the angst and the drama and the absurd. the show is really working for me right now.

simply catching up on all things general hospital

hmmm, it's been months since i've blogged about gh . partly this is due to the fact that i fell behind while i was traveling. partly because all the outrage lapsed into disinterest when i realized i couldn't bring myself to care anymore and everything that was happening was just so trite and boring. some days i still feel that way. and there are still whole storylines that i either hate or just fast forward through. but there are some good things too. in no particular order, here are my thoughts on the goings-on in port charles: 1. soras [and why re-casting roles works on soaps even if you do miss the original actors]: the new, older versions of sonny's kids are turning out to be quite enjoyable. [although hilariously, cameron whom i believe is older than molly is now younger. and because cameron is so cute, i'm kind of hoping they won't fix that. we also haven't seen spencer in ages, so he may be approaching 50.] in any case, at this point we've only s

genre debate: urban fantasy versus epic fantasy: team epic gets their say

Team Epic: Why I Love Epic Fantasy! Since it's my blog, I'll go first: Epic fantasies take you on quests that take you beyond the limits of what is real. The rules can be different, they are different, and everything just matters more. It's not just one life at stake, it's lives, it's a whole world, a whole way of being. Epic fantasies force you to use your imagination and take you on an adventure to places you never thought possible, but as different as everything feels, there are still things that are always real, no matter how you write it. Keep reading to see what a handful of Entangled TEEN authors think about epic fantasies: Erica Cameron - Island of Exiles (The Ryogan Chronicles, #1): Why do I love epic fantasy? It's a blank slate. We can erase all of our preconceived notions of society and law and even science, throwing all of that over the side of a cliff. Epic fantasy lets us push humanity well past the breaking point with ever
