I Watched More K-Dramas
I’m back! I know I said I was going to make a monthly list but I ended up getting too distracted with other things so I never got around to actually finishing ten dramas within one month. It took me four months – mostly because some of the dramas I watched dragged I lost the will to continue them. I have some dramas that are waiting for me to finish them… and I will. Someday. But I managed to get ten more to share with you!

I Watched K-Dramas for the First Time in My Life
I’ve known for a long time that K-dramas ruled the world of romantic storytelling. Yet, I was not prepared to be sucked into a whole new world where I willingly choose to experience the rollercoaster of emotions these series have to offer. Personally, romance has never been something I enjoyed watching. Unlike many people in my life, I find romantic comedies, dramas, etc. very overplayed and predictable. I’ve probably only watched a handful of romantic comedies in my twenty-some years of life, and none of those have sucked me into the genre… but then came K-dramas. I finally decided to give K-dramas a chance when my dead old dad decided to watch one himself. He does enjoy stuff like that, he is constantly watching telenovelas and dramas to kill time. One random day, he decided to put one on while we were in the living room and that was when my perspective on the romantic genre changed. At least in the realm of K-dramas.

Bleak
There are moments in this life where we might feel lost, everything is pitch black. There's a hint of light, sure, but it isn't enough sometimes to be comforting. It's worse when you don't know why it turned dark. Why there was warmth and then it was freezing. We think we have it, we think things will get easier, but suddenly it all starts to blend together...things feel different. We try to hold on, hold onto the things we were hoping will move us forward because it once promised us that. But then it's crumbling in our grip, we look as it all just falls, almost like a domino effect...and with it goes our joy. The smiles drop faster, it hurts to keep them longer. Music doesn't feel like it understands us anymore, our hobbies feel more like a chore. But we try to keep looking at that faint bright light where we came from, try to keep our eyes there to make sure we don't take notice of the darkness that frames it. We're not ready to accept defeat...not yet...we don't want to be tempted. But then we can't do it anymore, the time has come. We can't hold our eyes on that once warm light, it's too much, so turn to look at the borders that frame such a light..and there's nothing. The bleakness is oddly bright...it hurts more than the light did because we've been here before and we know what awaits us; it's like getting on that ride that scares us every time. Are we masochists? We're back in that cold space, our eyes seeking to find a point where our eyes can ground themselves, but there's nothing, only a faint sting, and heaviness to them. This hurts more than the bright light did, but that light too will harm us, we can't take it for too long before wanting to retreat to darkness, almost longing for it when we are on the light for too long. We wonder what triggered this event, but we know there is no tracing it back. We don't have the energy to even look for the hints, really. We just tell ourselves that good things fall apart; accept it. Not like it brings us any peace though. Nothing does. There's no peace when that void takes over us, swallow us. At one point even the bright light will be swallowed too. Will it be too late then? We barely made it out again, we were barely able to find that light before. Will it be there again? Will it hurt again?

Five TV Shows I Think Everyone Should Watch Because I can't Stop Thinking About Them.
A shortlist of the shows that I think left a mark on me. I will be sure to tell you some of the pros as well as the cons because it would be unfair of me to just show you its wonders when nothing in life is perfect, especially Tv Shows.

It Calls You
There is something about the dark that calls us into it. Whether it is the itch to find out what is of the unknown even if we know not to touch or the itch to get out from whatever hides in the unknown depths of what we know of darkness. Because no one really knows what is in there; some believe that our demons hide there, others that evil lurks there to take over the curious, and some just try to avoid it while they know they will never escape it. But sometimes darkness likes to show us a glimpse of what its depths can give us. For instance, when the dark nights feel kind, it gives us stars. Big bright balls of all-consuming gas. To us, the small humans, stars are small, unreachable, beautiful, and one of the things that make darkness dangerously beautiful. Those perfect spheres can calm our fears just with a taste of their blinding brightness, even from afar, they fill us with warmth and it makes us feel safe. Stars are beautiful, yes, but stars have one job: lure us into the darkness. It makes us feel good, so we keep our minds busy until they fade and we are stuck in the middle of the dark depths wondering how we got there. A moment of quiet joy turns into quiet fear. We're stuck. Defenseless. Alone. Nothing will come for us. Our only chance is to wait. To wait for the darkness to fade into the morning light. They will tell you that it will come soon. In the blink of an eye. But darkness has the power to make time stop. An hour gone feels like a second when you are on your knees praying for the morning light to come. Because you think that is found to help. So, the dark hours drag on almost making at noise to let you know that it moves, but not as fast as you had liked. Our minds loud while we blame the stars. Blame them for luring us. For making us defenseless. For making us forget our beliefs on darkness. Because we knew that darkness was alluring for all the wrong reasons. Darkness seems to win every time. Or at least that is what our thoughts tell us in the dark. Because that is when it gets the loudest. Or maybe is that voice that whispers from nowhere. Because it is really everywhere. It mocks our fear and it savors our stupidity. We knew better. Yet the stars were beautiful, and they will forever be. We know that once light comes to save us, it will not last. It never does. We forget. It is practically a cycle. That is what we are good at. Dangerous cycles. Because we are human. We make mistakes, and sometimes we learn from them. Sometimes we do not. Because only humans stumble over the same rock twice. When it comes to darkness, I have lost count. Maybe over a million times? Who knows. At the end, Darkness is one of those things we forget to learn about. To remember its sting. The danger. No matter how many times we tell ourselves not to touch it, to hear it, to almost want it, not to believe the sense of calm the stars in it will bring, we will always get sucked in. We will always find ourselves stuck in our fear. We will always hope for light in the dark. We will always find ourselves in the dark. Because there is something in the dark that calls us into it.

Dark Eyes and A Hoot.
Madeline knew it was late to be outside, even if she was only sitting on her grandpa’s old rocking chair that he liked to keep out on the porch. She was well aware that it was almost three in the morning and she couldn’t sleep and if her mother saw her this late doing nothing but staring ahead toward the forest past the fence, she would go on a rant about doing nothing productive during the day. Madeline rolled her eyes as she could just hear her mother huff and puff about Madeline’s inability to sleep these days.

What Are Your Favorite MCU Ships? Well, Here Are Mine.
SPOILERS AHEAD You know, superheroes and villains are cool (yes, I said Villians) and their lives are always so chaotic that it makes one wonder: how could they ever get around to form relationships and/or have families? Sure, we know dating and forming emotional bonds is one of the main weaknesses for superheroes which is why is so interesting seeing them get into one and deal with all the obstacles that come soon after. Nonetheless, it's practically impossible to hope they get their happily ever after.

Just Run
“Just run!” The voice of Theresa ranged loud on Jessica’s left ear as she tried not to trip over the thick tree roots and vines, or made sure a low branch wouldn’t smack her square on the face just like the cold harsh wind did. T’s voice now took over, seeking to find the prior reason for her ears ringing. She could only thank that Theresa had taken over the leading as Jessica couldn’t find it in herself to think about logistics on where their running could lead them as she made sure there were no guns firing at them. But in a rare second, she let herself notice how Theresa ran at a faster pace than her. She blamed it on her short legs like usual, taking the time to admire Theresa’s long legs. It was the wrong time and place to space out, she knew that, but the fear of what was right behind them had her legs trembling just a bit and she couldn’t help herself from taking her possible last minutes on this earth to appreciate even the most random details.

Top 10 TV Fandom Ships That Deserved Better
Tv Shows are known for the plethora of genres they come in and they tend to amount a fair-sized fandom during their run or sometimes even after the show is long over. And fans are known to come up with their own headcanons, theories, and analytical conclusions as to why certain things should have happened during the Shows' running time. But amongst the chaos of things within a fandom, it is fair to say that many become obsessed with non-canon couples of the Tv Show (which they spend a big amount of time picking out their favs interactions). Thus, sometimes it's hard to keep up with your favorite Tv couples or your favorite non-canon couples such as 'Bamon' from The Vampire Diaries. And even though there are tons of other lists like this one, I wanted to add my own opinions and ships to the melting pot. This is why I'm offering a list of my top 10 non-canon couples of concluded shows that I think deserved to be together during the show's running time or end up as endgame.
