miltokkinot the best of months for me icl.
💞general
october was a really weird month for me considering the first three weeks was really just me in hospital and then recovering, realising i'm increasingly behind in school and then ending the month by going to a club with my bestie who visited me from her uni 5 hours away from mine. all in all, not a very good month tbh. the main highlight would be the birth of my baby brother and the time i spent with my parents at home.
🎬movies/tv
of course visiting home meant i consumed a whole lot of netflix/amazon prime content in the first two weeks with family. it also means the genre of films i watched was hugely influenced by my family (a polite way of saying i probably wouldn't have watched them if i had the choice and control of the remote) but oddly enough i ended up enjoying some of them??
so danganronpa carried over from me beginning the series in september and can i just say that this is the best one?? (well out of the ones i've watched so far, i haven't watched hope arc yet) and it was just so lovely and wholesome considering it's foreboding name but then suddenly it became so dark, and there's something so cruel about building a beautiful picture just to tear it to pieces and splash it with pink blood. i paused there because i wasn't really in a good place mentally to continue. but i'll definitely watch it later!!
also peep that it's the anime that got 5 stars hahaha, what can i say? there's joy to be derived in 2-D pixels interacting on screen (except with your name. that just made me cry.) legally blonde was to make me feel better okay?? didn't feel like doing a mean girls rewatch so... watching a main character sooo different from me apart from the fact that we're women solving her own problems to distract me from my own problems ♥
don't judge me about the squid game rewatch with the eng dub, that's the best my family could do. surprise surprise not all of them enjoyed it as much because the english dub. simply. does not. work! also no one had sympathy for ali and that broke my heart. also no one else cried except me in ep 6??
homcha and blue period just make me feel so gooddd okayyy?? and kim seonho's role just reminds me of thoma from genshin and ahhhh ♥♥♥ i'm now a fan ♥

are we surprised about aespa? nope. but the absence of loco is so surprising to me considering my addiction to yeji's "oasis channeun kittyyy" and just the song in general, also stereotype being so low (this song omg!) and asap being in the top 10 at all. also, 170 albums??? crazy. lucid dream remains my favourite song but loser=lover must make a comeback! and i've noticed that beginning november, i've been listening to a lot more dream (don't get me started on the best boys in the universe and their halloween costumes and jaemin's instagram and how much i can't wait to see them all again) so i'm expecting the scrobbles to change in the new month!
also i genuinely feel bad because i didn't like sticker at all when it was released and it made it difficult for me to listen to the full album, but now after favorite i ended up just falling in love with the album, and i even like sticker now. i can see why it was jarring to me before, but i enjoy listening to the song now. i'm proud to see that 127 are my second most scrobbled artist this month now.
📖reading
lol i don't think i read at all, but i diiid bring out my five (or seven?) year old kindle from the dusty depths and charged it back to life. i didn't get to visit the public library like i planned to but i'll just take my time with all that. reading for me this month is really just a blurry mix of genshin fic, some chilumi here, some xiaoven there as well as some questionable reader inserts (no i do not insert myself but imagine a random oc).
✍writing
at this point i'm surprised when i do actually write, and i did! a bit. just a little bit. i'm not feeling it but it's something.
🎮gaming
i've progressed a lot more in genshin impact now and it's my stress relief. i've made new friends online too and my kokomi deals 18k with her charged attack when her burst is activated and that makes me really happy. i'm still gathering resources to raise her talents more (signora never drops the right thing) and kokomi dps/healer hybrid is more realistic than you think. i also bought benny's c1 and i've gotten hu tao! there's more work to be done!
all in all it hasn't been the best of months in terms of physical and mental health, neither have acads been going the way i wish, but i've found awesome friends irl and online, and i hope my twitter friends haven't forgotten me T__T. i probably won't be back online till i sort myself out irl and come out of writer's block and nct dream pop out from the shadows! december will be better!!
