This is because when merging two separate properties you have to ensure both fanbases are pleased with the combination and that the mix-up of characters work.

Drabble on Dark Academia
With the recent fascination of it fluttering around TikTok, and the steady increase of interest in dark, brooding libraries and neutral colour palettes, dark academia has taken the internet by storm. Being pretty in love with the aesthetic myself, it’s pretty normal for my Instagram explore page to be dotted with plaid outfit co-ords or video essays breaking down the craze on my YouTube recommended, such as one video by R.C. Waldun that started this whole deep dive.

The Colonial Question

Jim and Pam: The Best Tv Couple
I have watched "The Office" more than twice. I have to say that Jim and Pam are one of my favorite love stories that ever took place on television. In the earlier seasons, they were just friends and then became best friends who got married and had a family. That was the dream for me for a long time, to fall in love with one of your best friends. They are a couple that supports one another and brings out the best in each other. They are as you would say "#couplegoals".

A Hard Pill to Swallow: How The Umbrella Academy Depicts Prescription Medication
I had mixed feelings when I first learned that The Umbrella Academy would be coming back to Nextflix on July 31st. On one hand, I remembered how excited I was when I first read the series’ description. A superhero show inspired by Gerard Way’s comic book series sounded like Netflix snuck into my brain to fuse my love of superheroes with my love of angsty 2000s pop-rock. I expected something fun and fast-paced. I hoped for beautifully choreographed fight scenes set to a killer soundtrack. And Netflix delivered. I could watch superheroes foil a bank robbery with Fitz and The Tantrums playing in the background all day.
