Had a pretty rough month due to personal circumstances, so didn't really have much energy to read or do things I enjoy. Here's some highlights though!
books & articles
Absolution - Jeff Vandermeer
okay listen this is the book I've been most excited for ALL YEAR but I think I'm going to just restart it in December. I need to disappear into this book and I wasn't able to yet because I've been so distracted by life events and feeling so shitty.

making art while sick ✿ artist vlog - tiny little egg"The thing that keeps me going is just knowing that things will always change, and the only way to the other side is through."
I've been watching a lot of Kristen's vlogs this month and they've really helped me through a creative rut.
movies & tv
Buffy the Vampire Slayer - season 4 The first college season! By far my favorite parts of this season were both Spike and Tara's characters.
Shy witchy lesbian I looove youuuu... I thought the Initiative's plot was pretty interesting as I was already wondering how the government hadn't picked up on all the demonic activity yet.
And I'm weak for any kind of Frankenstein's monster trope. Buffy defeating Adam by combining her powers with her friends and becoming some kind of godly presence was sick.
Arcane - season 2 Yeah this show is GOOD AS HELL. The animation is so well done, I expected it to be as good as the previous season but it still blew me away.
I was also very very excited about everything related to Viktor, Jace and the wild runes and arcane. Whoever on the arcane team watched the Annihilation movie I SEE YOU!!!! Extremely gender thank you for your service.
