Backlog from last night. I didn’t get around to writing about it because I had just finished rewatching The Host, and that subsequently launched me into an obsessive binge of rereading all my favourite chapters, looking up lots and lots of O’Wanda (IanxWanda) fanfiction oneshots, continuing stories, and crack fics. Sorrynotsorry, and just emotionaly obsessing about IanxWanda – which is an OTP of mine.
Only fandom people will understand.
I may think Stephanie Meyers is a pretty mediocre, at best, writer and I find the Twilight series to be poorly written in both a grammatical/literary and plot based way as well as problematic in general – but I will defend The Host until I’m blue in the face.
Anyway, the tea. I took it with milk: I couldn’t ever remember having Genmaicha with milk and I thought it’d be an interesting experience. It was, in a good way! It was like the roasty, toasty, creamy borderline “seaweed” type drink. I think maybe it’d be better with a less green genmaicha. Still, very good and comforting!
I needed comfort what with all the heartbreaking fics…
I haven’t read the book, but I found the movie far more enjoyable than I was expecting. Perhaps I’ll add it to my reading list.
They left out all the best scenes int the movie; definitely read the book. I mean, you’ll have to bear through Meyers’ horrible writing – but I think it’s worth it.
I love when I see/hear people use “OTP” outside of my tumblr/AO3 bubble. Do you have any NOTP or OT3 match-ups? Hehe.
I never would have considered reading The Host, tbh, because of all the terrible Twilight stuff I’ve encountered. Maybe I’ll have to rethink this.
I also had to take a second to figure out what the heck NOTP and OT3 are. :P I’m still noobish about all that. Hahah.
I had to google all of these acronyms, haha.
I have the Host book but never read it because I can’t handle how un-feminist twilight is. Shitty female role model. Maybe The Host is better? Terrible writing aside, obviously.
I am in total agreement with you! I read The Host and thought “okay, so this lady CAN write”
Read it…
:P At least with my Kindle, no one will ever have to know if I read it!
