Listen Vanessa Hudgens is winning regardless of the quality of the script or her accent.

Watched A California Christmas & A California Christmas: City Lights. They’re… Fine. There’s the use of a trope in the City Lights epilogue that actually makes me a bit sad. Happy to chat in replies if anyone is interested. β€οΈπŸ’»πŸΏπŸŽ„

I had a dream where there was a new Buffy the Vampire Slayer motion comic where the writers had made a new character say “I’m going to kill @kimberlyhirsh in every timeline” and I was both flattered to be included & also upset/scared, but mostly thought “Nobody in Buffy fandom calls me that.”

A core question that must eventually be answered about every space, physical or digital, is “Who is this for?” and if your answer is “Everyone!” you are necessarily being disingenuous because every design decision communicates who belongs in the space.

Excuse me, there is a Netflix Rom-Com starring Damon Wayans Jr and Rachel Leigh Cook? Be still my geriatric millennial heart.

I have something else to say about Single All the Way. Not only is it lovely to see Michael Urie be a lead, but it’s also lovely to see him being weird and sweet and vulnerable. Also, plant shops ARE a thing, we have a shmancy millennial one in Durham.

As a person who made some of my dearest friends online before video chat was a thing, I’m strugglign with the protagonist of Love Hard being super angry that the dude she matched used a fake picture when everything else was true. Like… That’s not cool, but still.
