[jovrien]

Oh hey guys 👋🏼 here’s a life update because some of you my sweet virtual friends in my DMs have been wondering why I suddenly stopped replying lol the truth is, I’m on tumblr hiatus chz 😄 reply nalang ako when my mind is in a better place

here’s a random picture of me and Leslie Cheung to set the vibes of this post

Like Britney Spears on Instagram, I’m gonna use an obscene lot of emojis here just to brighten this post but believe me, I feel a little DEAD 💀 inside that every time my partner and I are having **x, they’re actually committing necrophilia 🍆because the soul that’s fucking them good and hard is actually dead 🤣 (they/them isn’t my asawa’s pronouns btw but I had to use that just in case some sleuthing *and slutty* relative strays into my tumblr lol) (also, the use of they/them is an Easter Egg 🪺 because I’m such a 🔝sinner I make Papi Jesus weep 😢)

before any strenuous activity, a proper man must stock his hotel fridge with mineral (NOT distilled) water

-Chapter 1 Exuberant Highs and Crippling Lows-

I don’t even know what to write because this thing that’s been fucking up with my mind sometimes gets so unbearably heavy I swear I could kill myself if I had the chance to. Then there are days when the clouds dissipate and my days go brighter than a 1000 nits display and days are euphoric idk. If there’s one thing I find comforting though, it’s the idea that one day I’m gonna rest in peace and my brain is just gonna switch everything off, and just like the time before I was conceived, I will be back to being nonexistent. The thought of nothingness that comes after death may seem terrifying to some (maybe that’s why some people still believe in afterlife) but to me death is like a warm comfy bed in a cold and dark bedroom, just waiting for ya to crawl in and swallow you back into nothingness: No awareness, no thoughts, no memories, no sound, no light, no anxiety, no joy, walang alarm, walang anything.

So yeah, I’ll brb, here in my safest place to run to, but hopefully the next time I post something on tumblr I’ll be in a better headspace and I can finally listen again to the songs in my Atmosphere and That Guy playlist on Spotify lol and I hope my next posts would be happy shits again like screenshots of my favorite childhood game - Crash Bandicoot that I still play with even now that I’m in my 30s lol from Playstation in the 90s and 2000s to iPhone, how freaking cool is that 🤖

Kapoy magsulat for now so imma cut this short. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

love, Jon

Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

An isolated mansion. A chillingly charismatic aristocrat. And a brave socialite drawn to expose their treacherous secrets. . . .

From the author of Gods of Jade and Shadow comes a novel set in glamorous 1950s Mexico.

After receiving a frantic letter from her newlywed cousin begging for someone to save her from a mysterious doom, Noemí Taboada heads to High Place, a distant house in the Mexican countryside. She’s not sure what she will find - her cousin’s husband, a handsome Englishman, is a stranger, and Noemí knows little about the region.

Noemí is also an unlikely rescuer: She’s a glamorous debutante, and her chic gowns and perfect red lipstick are more suited for cocktail parties than amateur sleuthing. But she’s also tough and smart, with an indomitable will, and she is not afraid: not of her cousin’s new husband, who is both menacing and alluring; not of his father, the ancient patriarch who seems to be fascinated by Noemí; and not even of the house itself, which begins to invade Noemi’s dreams with visions of blood and doom.

Her only ally in this inhospitable abode is the family’s youngest son. Shy and gentle, he seems to want to help Noemí but might also be hiding dark knowledge of his family’s past. For there are many secrets behind the walls of High Place. The family’s once colossal wealth and faded mining empire kept them from prying eyes, but as Noemí digs deeper she unearths stories of violence and madness.

And Noemí, mesmerized by the terrifying yet seductive world of High Place, may soon find it impossible to ever leave this enigmatic house behind.

Hurricane Season by Fernanda Melchor, Sophie Hughes (Translation)

The Witch is dead. And the discovery of her corpse—by a group of children playing near the irrigation canals—propels the whole village into an investigation of how and why this murder occurred. Rumors and suspicions spread. As the novel unfolds in a dazzling linguistic torrent, with each unreliable narrator lingering on new details, new acts of depravity or brutality, Melchor extracts some tiny shred of humanity from these characters that most would write off as utterly irredeemable, forming a lasting portrait of a damned Mexican village. Like Roberto Bolano’s 2666 or Faulkner’s greatest novels, Hurricane Season takes place in a world filled with mythology and violence—real violence, the kind that seeps into the soil, poisoning everything around: it’s a world that becomes more terrifying and more terrifyingly real the deeper you explore it. 

Afterlife by Julia Alvarez

Antonia Vega, the immigrant writer at the center of Afterlife, has had the rug pulled out from under her. She has just retired from the college where she taught English when her beloved husband, Sam, suddenly dies. And then more jolts: her bighearted but unstable sister disappears, and Antonia returns home one evening to find a pregnant, undocumented teenager on her doorstep. Antonia has always sought direction in the literature she loves—lines from her favorite authors play in her head like a soundtrack—but now she finds that the world demands more of her than words. Afterlife is a compact, nimble, and sharply droll novel. Set in this political moment of tribalism and distrust, it asks: What do we owe those in crisis in our families, including—maybe especially—members of our human family? How do we live in a broken world without losing faith in one another or ourselves? And how do we stay true to those glorious souls we have lost?

Clap When You Land by Elizabeth Acevedo

In a novel-in-verse that brims with grief and love, National Book Award-winning and New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Acevedo writes about the devastation of loss, the difficulty of forgiveness, and the bittersweet bonds that shape our lives. Camino Rios lives for the summers when her father visits her in the Dominican Republic. But this time, on the day when his plane is supposed to land, Camino arrives at the airport to see crowds of crying people… In New York City, Yahaira Rios is called to the principal’s office, where her mother is waiting to tell her that her father, her hero, has died in a plane crash. Separated by distance—and Papi’s secrets—the two girls are forced to face a new reality in which their father is dead and their lives are forever altered. And then, when it seems like they’ve lost everything of their father, they learn of each other.

Here are some of the major (and minor but interesting) ‘Teen Mom’-related things that happened over the last few days…

Jade Cline & Sean Austin Buy Second Home & Pay It Off ASAP

Jade & her crew are moving on up!

The ‘Teen Mom: The Next Chapter’ star announced this week that she and her fiancé Sean have purchased a new home and have already paid it off completely.

“Closed on House Number 2 today,” Jade wrote on Instagram Stories. “Paid in full. I’m so proud of us [Sean].”

“I’m proud of us too babe,” Sean wrote, reposting Jade’s Story.

As The Ashley previously reported, Jade purchased her first home— a two-bedroom, one bathroom house in Indianapolis, Indiana— back in 2021 for $110,000. Jade bought that house on her own. 

The couple’s new house— based on what The Ashley could sleuth out— is a three-bedroom, one bathroom house about four miles away from Jade’s original home. It boasts a fenced-in yard for Jade and Sean’s daughter Khloie to play in, a new roof and hardwood floors throughout. 

“Kitchen has all new cabinets, butcher block counter tops, all new stainless steel appliances, beautiful backsplash,” the listing for the home states. (The Ashley is trying to not give out too much info in order to protect Jade and Sean’s privacy.) 

The couple paid $170,000 for their new abode. It does not appear that they are selling Jade’s original house, though.

The bigger house will come in handy should Jade and Sean— who are getting married in October— make good on their vow to expand their family after their wedding.

“We’ve definitely been contemplating it and talking about it more, especially since Kloie now is five,” Jade said in a video interview in December, later adding, “I feel like our first child, we were so young and it was an out of nowhere thing. I want our second child to be more planned and more structured. Like, we have everything set up and it’s more of like a peaceful thing.”

Unlike many of their ‘Teen Mom’ co-stars, Jade and Sean both currently work “regular” jobs in addition to appearing on the TV shows. Jade owns a hair salon, while Sean works for UPS. 

Javi Marroquin Comments On His Cheating Past

Javi and his second baby mama, Lauren Comeau, are giving their relationship yet another try, but after “Big Papi” became the victim of a fake cheating scandal recently, the former ‘Teen Mom 2′ dad took to Instagram to discuss his past mistakes and his attempts to become a better partner.

After a random Instagram user started online drama after making comments insinuating that Javi had been in Las Vegas cheating on Lauren, several “Teen Mom’ Instagram pages posted about it. (The Ashley isn’t going to go into in detail, as it proved to be false and just a story told by someone looking for extremely sad clout.) The poster also claimed that Javi and Lauren recently eloped so Lauren could get Javi’s military benefits.

Anyway, Javi decided to comment on the post about the “scandal” on the @TeenMomShadeRoom Instagram page. (The post has since been deleted, but @TeenMomShadeRoom posted a screenshot of Javi’s response afterward.) In his comment, Javi admitted he has made some terrible decisions in the past.

However, the father of two made it clear that he has changed his ways.

“There’s no elopement. I was married in 2015 [to Kail Lowry]. Just stop,” Javi wrote in the comment section of the post. “I made the most f**ked up decisions in the past. No denying that, leave the past in the past when people are actually and genuinely making changes. There’s no tell-all and no one tried to pay anything off. Please stop trying to create headlines & issues from 100% lies.”

Javi recently put his Delaware home up for sale. Lauren already owns a home, so it’s possible Javi may be moving into Lauren’s home.

Kail Lowry Reveals That Her Son Isaac Was Attacked At School

Kail’s oldest son Isaac was recently involved in a physical altercation that Kail says was reminiscent of the fight she got into during the infamous ‘Teen Mom 2’ Reunion of 2018!

During a recent episode of her Barely Famous podcast, Kail revealed that she got a call from Isaac’s school telling her that the 13-year-old was with the assistant principal after getting into a fight. 

“I go in there like ready to f**king fight. I’m thinking that my son is being an instigator right? I’m thinking that he caused the fight,” Kail said, adding that she was shocked when the assistant principal told her that, after checking the school’s cameras, it was discovered that Isaac had not started the fight and was actually attacked by another student. 

“He was attacked from behind,” Kail said.

“Hmm…common theme in your family,” Kail’s co-host, Kristen, said, obviously referring to how Kail was attacked from behind by Brittany DeJesus during the 2018 Reunion fight.

(As fans will remember, Kail was screaming at Britt’s sister Briana while Brittany came from behind and yanked Kail down by her hair.) 

Kail agreed that there were similarities with the two altercations.

“Oh, 100 percent!” she said. “They’re afraid…there’s no other way to put it. You can’t come up to us from the front. You have to sneak up behind us.”

Kail explained that Isaac did nothing to instigate the attack.

"[The assistant principal] said she checked the cameras and Isaac had no part, like Isaac could not have heard or saw this coming,” she said, adding that this was the first fight any of her kids had ever been in. 

“First of all, he’s okay. He has a couple scrapes and scratches but he is okay and I guess other kids pulled this kid off of him so it was fine,” Kail said.

“We talk, he tells me how he feels. Thank God he had therapy tonight because I can’t even imagine if this would have happened and you don’t have therapy till next week. Isaac is just not a fighter.”

Riverdale Recap. Ep 10-13.  Murderer Revealed & Build up to Season 2.

Hi once again to you all following my blog. I just wanna start off by saying I AM BACK and SORRY for the little hiatus but I was on holiday for a few weeks with vert limited internet and so I couldn’t keep up with the Riverdale episodes.  I figured it would be too much trying to catch up all four eps I missed, so now that I am all caught up I’ma roll them all into one monster recap.  Soo enjoy.

Things moved so so so super fast in these last few episodes its actually crazy. I was gasping, ooohing and aaahing through all the eps at every little twist and turn. To make this a little easier I am gonna break this recap up into characters and we’ll catch up with where each of them are at the end of the first season.

Needless to say: SPOILERS AHEAD!

I’ll start with my personal favourite character and leading lady, the one, the only MISS BETTY COOPER! Since the beginning and up till now I am just absolutely ADORING Lili Reinhart in this role. Betty is amazing! I always resonated with her in the comics, and really see myself in her. What I do love in the show is the stronger and darker element that they’re giving to Betty - in the comics she is always so sweet and innocent and ‘waiting around for Archie’ but in the show she is strong, and fierce and doing things for herself which I love. I loved that scene with Betty & Jug in ep13 and the fact that their make-out session is super sexy and intense and gives another nod to the ‘Badass Betty’ that has been hinted at throughout the season. I also enjoyed that Jughead is now a ‘Serpent’ (adore that scene where he puts on the southside jacket) and I have a feeling that these two are going to make a pretty badass power couple leading the Southside in Season 2 (Please!!) .... Also the fact that in e10 FP nods to the fact that Alice had some connection to the Serpents - Betty and her hidden dark side is not too far fetched and I think that it’s perfectly thought out writing (props to the writers!!) that Betty is with Juggie who is now also moving over to the dark side. I know Betty ‘acts’ upset by the fact that Jug puts on the serpent Jacket - but I honestly feel that she’d have NO PROBLEM at all joining him on the Southside.  I have no idea what Season 2 has in store for this pair but I certainly hope we get to explore a bit more of the Serpents through them!  I am also happy to see the Coopers trying to sort their family out, and get the secrets out and Betty’s campaign for honesty instead of just an ‘image of perfection’ in the town of Riverdale.

It was also revealed that Betty and Polly have a brother out there somewhere due to a baby Alice gave up for adoption. (A part of me thinks it might not neccesarily be Hal’s baby - I have a feeling FP and Alice may have had a fling back in the day). So maybe we get to meet him in the next season?

Now onto Jughead Jones.  I’m loving the relationship with Jughead and Betty. Absolutely ship these two and think Cole and Lili’s chemistry is off the charts. I am a little disappointed in Juggies dark side but as  mentioned before, I think this could be a interesting turn of events and it might allow Betty to showcase more of her Badass side - so I’m keen to see where the writers take this. I hope they continue the relationship and explore this dark dimension instead of this being the cause of the relationship to implode. My heart is also aching for Juggie in these last few episodes. I hate the fact that FP is framed, and being mistreated by most of the town. That scene where Jug calls his mom and it basically seems like she tells him not to bother, he’s not wanted there. *tears*. Poor JUG. I hope he finds somewhere he belongs - and from the looks of things that may just be the Southside? As I said - I’m out on a limb here - but I absolutely CANNOT wait to see where they take this in S2.

Archie Andrews is driving me a little CRAZY in these last few episodes. Don’t get me wrong. I LOVE ARCHIE. (KJ Apa is amazing. I’m so impressed by his portrayal of this role.) But - Damn boy, you’re confused as!! I just can’t handle his indecisiveness and his inability to see things through - I mean c’mon he’s been in 3 little flings in the season and I still think Valerie was the best match for him. I am sorry, but I can’t stand Archie and Veronica together. I thought we were staying away from the ‘love triangle’ - I just don’t feel the chemistry between KJ and Camilla (actually just don’t feel Camilla’s character much at all more on that later).  Also the fact that he get’s with Ronnie and then the episodes are clearly hinting that there are some pangs of longing for Betty?? Or did I just imagine that??? It’s like he wants Betty to be upset about him and Ronnie? He wants her to want him? He comes up with an explanation for his reaction, but I’m not feeling it. I love BUGHEAD but somehow still think that Betty and Archie are endgame - so I dunno. Once again we’ll have to see what S2 has in store. Having said that I do love that we get to see more of Archie’s heroism showcased in this episode with him saving Cheryl!! A super intense scene! (More on that in a sec)

Also the end scene has me devastated - FRED WAS SHOT. I am heartbroken by this! Fred is one of the best parents in Riverdale! I also hate the fact that this shooting (as the voice-over says) is ‘anything but random’. I have my ideas about who did it .... Definitely the LODGES. It’s either Hiram because he is jealous of Fred and Hermoine’s relationship, or it’s Hermoine herself (afterall even Hiram said in a letter to Ronnie that she’s not innocent as she seems) because Fred is refusing to sell her the business. 

** I also want to mention I loved the song ‘Kids of America’ at the school dance - I just wish it had been Josie or Valerie instead of Veronica with Archie! **

Now, let’s talk about Veronica Lodge. I am so sorry that I feel this way, because I didn’t want to but I just don’t feel the character that Camilla is portraying. Everything feels acted, and feels a little ‘forced’ - I don’t know. I love Camilla, and think she’s gorgeous, but I just don’t think that her character is the character Ronnie from the comics - it just feels like some other random character.  I do feel sorry for Ronnie however and I love the scenes with her & Betty and her & Kevin and even the Pussycats- but I don’t feel the chemistry with Archie and I don’t see them lasting very long. I am really annoyed at Hermoine right now - and I like that Veronica is also pushing back against her mom - Hermoine is such a manipulative b*** .  I am sorry but she is! She’s so fake and changing her whole demeanour now that Hiram is coming home. (On a side note - I can’t wait to meet Hiram Lodge in S2. Some Archie / Hiram rivalry is gonna be an awesome nod to the comics ;) so can’t wait for that!) ... and I strongly feel that she (Hermoine) is somewhat involved in Fred being shot. I don’t know how exactly but indirectly or directly she is root cause of Fred’s shooting! 

Now onto the BLOSSOMS. Talk about  a CRAZY, INSANE family. Holy guacomole!! So we finally find out who murdered JASON. With some prompting from Polly, and some discoveries Cheryl starts to doubt her parents because Penelope somehow has possession of Polly’s missing ring (from grandma Blossom) ... Of course Penelope and Clifford have been creepy and psycho from the first episode and I have always kind of wondered about them. Turns out (thanks to a USB found inside Jason’s jacket pocket (although I don’t know how that ended up in his Jacket) it is caught on film that CLIFFORD shot his own son!! He tried to cover it up by killing the only other witness a serpent who Archie got in a fight with. FP only found Jason’s body and put in a freezer and cleaned up with the help of Kev’s boyfriend, Joaquin. Because of this involvement though - Clifford blackmails him into making a false confession - but luckily our sleuthing Riverdale Gang are on the case and quickly prove FP’s innocence - although he is still in trouble for obstructing justice and he wont turn on the serpents.  Straight away Betty warns Cheryl that her dad killed her beloved ‘JayJay’ and Cheryl tells him that he did a bad thing , and every body knows.  Her father then proceeds to hang himself before the police arrive, and it is revealed that the Maple Syrup business is also a cover for drug running. More craziness is revealed in the fact that the Coopers actually are ‘Blossoms’ as ‘Great-Grandpapi-Cooper’ vs Great-Grand-Papi Blossom feud - they were BROTHERS who turned on each other the one decided to break off from the family and become the ‘Coopers’. Thats why they were so anti the Polly/Jason relationship - because they are actually related!

All the turmoil drives Cheryl a little insane and she tries to drown herself in the Sweetwater River to be with Jason. Luckily, the gang are able to save her (Archie (and actually KJ Apa! IRL) breaks his hand in the process) by punching through the ice of the river. Cheryl is still not right and says the only way to get back to normal is by starting clean - so she super dramatically, in true Cheryl Blossom style, burns their house down!!

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING SEASON.  RIVERDALE - I MISS YOU ALREADY.

I look forward to season two and what more will happen with these characters and what other secrets will be exposed in Season2!
