I'm ngl, every single person who posts abt the clones in The Clone Wars is loterally a master gaslighter, but by accident like, I started watching this series fully convinced I was going to see elaborate character arcs for all these people what do you MEAN Cody doesnt even have his own arc dedicated to him????????
I have some thoughts about One last stop by Casey Mcquiston and reviews I've seen by Argentinian book influencers mainly on tiktok and instagram.
I don't know if they all came to an agreement to say shit about the book or the "ringleader" told them all what to say. Literally every person from my country who's read the book has talked absolute SHIT about it. One of them even claimed this is the WORST book recommended by tiktok, and because she has a lot of influence over the community, a lot of people started saying they will not be reading the book. About this, I have some shit to say.
1. If you liked Red, white and royal blue (by the same author) and you didn't like One last stop, you may be a bigot. Don't get me wrong, I love Alex and Henry, but August and Jane's story is truly beautiful and well constructed as well. Is it that you don't like that they fall in love quickly or is it that you can't sympathize with queer women?
2. American politics are impossible to understand if you're not American. That being said, Red, white and royal blue has a lot of talk about politics, and that's fine because it's essential, so we gotta put up with it. Now, what about queer history in One last stop? I've seen people say One last stop has a lot of filler that adds nothing. I think all the little stories are important to the development of the story. The pancake place, Auggies story, everything.
3. One last stop features a main character who is a 23 year old bisexual woman struggling to make ends meet. Been there, done that. That's all I gotta say here, this character is hella relatable if you struggle with work and money and love and housing.
4. August is such a sweetheart. She's so caring, and stubborn, and funny, and clumsy. She's a proud woman trying to make something of her life.
5. Regarding influencers, I gotta say they have more power than we realize. I know I have to be the person choosing what interests me and what I want to read. Some people, unfortunately, don't know better, so they'll consume what's fed to them. There's this girl who is a writer and of course she wants ppl to read her book, but this very same person said One last stop is the worst book that "came out of" tiktok, meaning it became popular in the app. So her fans or followers now will not read the book because she said it's bad. A lot of people, not only her, recommend books with horrible plots or characters, with content that may be harmful for some people. And they glorify the books!! What's to glorify about an asshole of a male character who treats women like shit? because inside he cares about her!! Please. Have some common sense.
6. I know. I know I'm making it too big of a deal. But the thing is, when I read One last stop I recommended it to everyone because I loved the characters, loved the story and the way it made me reflect upon our history. I remind you I live in Argentina, but unfortunately hate crimes do exist here. I could go out tomorrow holding a girl's hand and be beaten to death. My brother can be assaulted in the streets for being gay. No queer person is safe and it's really important for us to think about this. Shit like this happened in the 70s and they still happen today in 2022. This is our history. We should never forget the names of people who died trying to live their lives freely and unafraid.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Surprise!! 1989 (Taylor’s Version) is on its way to you 🔜! The 1989 album changed my life in countless ways, and it fills me with such excitement to announce that my version of it will be out October 27th. To be perfectly honest, this is my most FAVORITE re-record I’ve ever done because the 5 From The Vault tracks are so insane. I can’t believe they were ever left behind. But not for long! Pre order 1989 (Taylor’s Version) on my site 😎

Watching the princess bride and Wesley just said “I think everyone will be wearing them in the future” when Fezzik asks about his mask that’s so funny they were on point in 1987
42 days since we’ve seen commander cody. is he safe? is he alright?
My favourite dregs!
An idea I was inspired by recently ✨
Thinking of strategies and schemes, I found it quite fun to compare each SOC character to a chess piece!
- Matthias Helvar, the Druskelle soldier who (just like the Pawn) has remained in the front row since the very first move (probably one of the most underrated characters, but without whom I think the whole “game” would not have even started 💔).
- Nina Zenik, so sweet and funny and yet, at the same time, one (if not the) most powerful of them all in my opinio! I loved that twist with the parem in the end of soc, so I thought the Knight was suited for her, with its change of direction movement.
- Wylan Van Eck, maybe it doesn’t seem at first, but I’ve always perceived his character to have a really strong and stable personality, that’s why I associated him to the Tower piece. Indipendently to his personal issues, he always did what he wanted, even against the opinion and wishes others had for him (first of all his father).
- Jesper Fahey, I chose the Bishop for him, cause it’s the piece that, like the Queen, is placed at the King’s side.
- Kaz Brekker as the King! I don’t think this will need any explanation for the association I made 🤭
- And finally Inej Ghafa, the Queen!
Hope you like them!
