Why It's Harder to Love Alicent than Rhaenyra in "House of the Dragon"
Spoiler for everything up to S1E7. No book spoilers though. After episode 6, my patience for this show was running quite low with Queen Alicent and Sir Christon getting on my nerves too much to enjoy the intrigues unfolding on my screen. And although the new episode makes up for a lot, my initial point still stands: Alicent was done dirty.

How I Really Fell In Love With My Own Body
Sometimes I feel like the relationships between us and our own bodies are one of the most complicated ones we have to navigate nowadays. It doesn’t matter if you’re skinny, fat, or anything in between, someone will always tell you that your body — that you — are not enough.

The Many Faces of Dysfunctional Love
Like the masochistic bitch I am I ran straight to my local bookstore the moment I heard about Colleen Hoover's It ends with us. Although the book got published in 2016, it somehow has a bit of a revival going on with the help of Tiktok and its never-ending edits of sad music and quotes from the story.

Different Roles in Toxic Families
I already talked about Disney's new animation movie Encanto and what it has to say about toxicity within a family. But because this movie is brilliant, it doesn't stop there. The movie made sure to portray the different roles people can take on in these problematic households and utilizes the concept of superpowers to its full potential when the powers of the Madrigal Family correlate perfectly to the tasks they have to fulfill in their toxic family dynamics.

Accio Nostalgia: Harry Potter and the 20th Anniversary - Is the Reunion Worth Your Time?
Hollywood has never shied away from capitalizing on nostalgia. This became especially obvious in the last years when countless Spin-offs, Reboots, and Revivals got green-light one after the other. The most recent ones that come to mind are the Sex and the City Revival And Just Like That… and the upcoming HIMYM Spin-off with the creative title of How I met your Father.

Why I Miss Online Classes
When our global pandemic hit the world and schools and universities had to adjust quickly my Uni was probably as lost as everyone else. As a student who is also aiming for a teacher's degree, I was worried to no end how the upcoming semester would look like.

Encanto And Toxic FamiliesTop Story - December 2021
Disney's recent animation movies have displayed a clear pattern: away from romantic love and a turn to the love shared within a family. Starting the trend in 2013 with Frozen and a focus on the sisterly love between Elsa and Anna, Moana continued this idea in 2016 and dealt with the idea of family and legacy. 2021's Encanto is the natural outcome of the fusion of these themes all brought together in one movie.
