I watched I’ll take Manhattan meanwhile. Interesting and here are my thoughts and some summaries to each episode.

Part 1: This is the story of Maxi Amberville and her attempt to save her father's empire from her uncle. It begins when Maxi Amberville's father Zachary is found at the bottom of a cliff and dies later. Five months later, Maxi and her siblings learn that there is a board meeting of which they were not informed. They discover that their uncle Cutter Amberville, Zachary's brother, is not only in charge but has just married their mother, and also that Cutter has decided to cease operations on four magazines that have been in the red. When Maxi learns of this she threatens to reveal to her mother some of the skeletons in Cutter's closet unless he allows her to take charge of one of the magazines that he plans to close and if she can make it get into the black, the others will remain in operation. Then the story shifts to when Zachary returned from WW2, a hero, and his family is fawning all over him, which leaves Cutter pretty much out, which is the reason for the animosity between them. Zachary then goes to New York to begin his work and he eventually starts his own magazine. Before long he has several magazines under his belt, and he also finds the love of his Nina, but she rejects his marriage proposal. He then goes to England and meets Lily, an aspiring dancer. But when she is rejected by the dancing world, she decides to accept Zachary's proposal. They have two children, Toby and Maxi. Now Zachary fawns all over Maxi, which sometimes Lily feels is too much, and when Toby is diagnosed as having a condition that will eventually leave him blind, things begin to unravel. She then has an affair with Cutter, who clearly is just using her to get at Zachary. Maxi would grow up to be Daddy's Girl, who throws herself at Rocco Cipriani, a man who works for her father. When she gets pregnant, they marry but divorce when Maxi clearly cannot survive without the lifestyle that her father provided for her. She would marry two more times. Eventually Zachary becomes aware of not only Cutter's affair with Lily but also of other machinations. He then cuts himself off from Cutter, which only fuels Cutter's hatred for him. (taken from IMDB) My own thoughts: We start with a body found at a cliff and five months later, many changes have appeared. The lost daughter returns and challenges her uncle. Back, after the war, we see that the parents also have decided which son they love more and that brings out a bad sibling rivalry between Zachary and Cutter Amberville. While Zachary decides to start a magazine business and that with success over the years, and well, two women dominate his life: Nina Stern, an editor, and later Lily who he met in London where they marry. Yet after Cutter also comes to New York, he and his sister-in-law start an affair which results into a baby.

Part 2: Lily and Cutter continue their affair despite being separated. Cutter goes to San Francisco to start his own career for a broker named Alexander. Upon his first day, he stumbles across Candice and her dogs and Lady's man strikes again. Candice dedicates her life to him but Cutter doesn't appreciate it. He creates an accident which would leave her crippled but it can be avoided. Lily, meanwhile on the East Coast, has given birth to Justin Amberville who's the spitting image of Cutter but she told Zachary that he is his son. Before that, Zachary wanted to start anew with Nina Stern but Lily won here. With the start of 1970, Amberville Publications has grown and more and the kids have grown as well. Not knowing any differently, Toby, Maxi and Justin are siblings though Toby is blind but cooks well. Maxi starts her career at her father's company under a false name and instantly fells in love with her boss, Rocco. Her best friend is India West who she tells everything. Well, on the West Coast, Cutter has made so important (or he thinks so) that he can control anyone: the ladies, his boss and his wife. Unfortunately, one of his affairs blackmails him and sends some photos to his wife Candice. She sees no other way than to commit suicide by falling from the highest hotel room. Zachary is then told by Candice's father about his brother's affair with his wife and in front of Lily, he threatens to not letting Cutter anywhere near her or he kills him. And with that ends this part. Thoughts: Whohoo, the Amberville clan is complicated. Brother against brother instead of helping. Jealousy is the main part here which drives the family apart. 

Part 3: This time the focus is more on Maxi and her many relationships. We start with Rocco whom she has a daugher, Angelica, with but they come from too different backgrounds and so the marriage doesn't work at all. In Monte Carlo she meets another guy and marries him just as quickly as she divorces him too. During a balloon flight, she lands in a Scottish castle and marries the owner as well but even this marriage doesn't hold. India, meanwhile, has become a star and lives in Hollywood and her agent wants more for her. Zachary and Lily spent some time in Europe and when they are back, they go into a restaurant where they meet Cutter and his friend Jimbo. The tension between the brothers is touchable. Jimbo manages to give Cutter another chance at a job but the owner phones Zachary who tells him the truth and before Cutter can even start, he's fired. That's the last straw for him and he follows his brother everywhere, even in Canada where it comes to the final showdown. We see how the brothers fight and how Cutter sends the unconscious Zachary over the edge but he's lost the necklace. He returns just in time to get Lily's call about Zachary's "accident" and Lily, Maxi and Cutter fly there when Zachary dies. Lily is asked to check out his belongings but she can't, so Cutter does it and finds the necklace which he quickly hides in his jacket's pocket. Then we're at the board meeting from the start where Maxi tells her uncle about the Alexanders and asks him for a paper to take care of for a year. He agrees though but his plan is to destroy his brother's empire while he's with a young lady again - after the funeral. Mmm. Thoughts: So that was the long story of how it came to where we started. Family is complicated but here it seems that the brothers cannot be friends at all. They never had a chance to reconsider and start anew. The opportunities are long gone and so we ended where we did. And the next generation seems to follow here - with hating the uncle. 

Part 4: Maxi starts the old magazine with great ideas but well, not that professional, yet her uncle is sabotaging her in every way. But with old friends of her Dad and her first ex-husband, she gets B&B to a success. Cutter takes drastic measures to hire a guy who puts cocaine into Justin's apartment, right where the police can find it. He spents a night in jail and more before his mother and sister bail him out. The family comes closer together again. At Maxi's success party, her older brother Toby meets India and well, we've got another pair together. Still, Cutter finds someone who's interested in buying Amberville Publications but Lily refuses at any time, yet he tries his best to convince her. The two couples even go to Canada again where then Lily wants to see where Zachary died - and she finds the necklace by accident and makes the right conclusions. At their cabin, she confronts Cutter but he still doesn't tell her. But Lily tells him to back off her family but back in New York, Cutter tries it over Justin again but he already knew the truth and tells him that Zachary is the only father he knows. Cutter hits him on the head before leaving. Lily then brings Maxi to her father's office and tells her that she now owns it- and that the name Cutter Amberville is banned from saying or mentioning. After Justin's accident, she also calls the police to tell them that Cutter killed his brother. And Maxi reconsiles with Rocco and asks him to marry her again. So these are my thoughts on this mini series. I liked Perry King here. Though playing a bad guy, he has still his charms.

The Battle for Pumpkin King: Speculations

I’m finally back home, which means I jumped on to learn more about this. It was first shared in the TNBC Club Discord server! I found the direct Barnes & Noble page which confirms its legitimacy and gives us more information.

The official summary from the page:

“How did Jack Skellington become the Pumpkin King?

Explore Jack and Oogie Boogie’s early days in Halloween Town and learn how their inseparable friendship turns sour as they battle to become the next Pumpkin King. Discover the mastermind who’s pulling the strings, and relive the fantastic world of The Nightmare Before Christmas in this all-new manga adaptation!”

-- Apparently, this will be a manga prequel adaption of The Nightmare Before Christmas, published by TOKYOPOP. The story is credited as ideas from D.J. Milky (Who was behind the Zero’s Journey sequel comic book series), and  Shaun McLaughlin. Roberto Scalia is the illustrator while Dan Conner is credited as the author.

First off, I’m EXCITED we’re finally getting a TNBC prequel adaptation! I made a post not-too-long-ago how I wished we got more, and we’re getting one! This one will dive into Jack Skellington and Oogie Boogie’s past, which I’ve had MANY headcanons about them behind friends who broke ties. This sounds like it’s going down a similar route..!

- I have no clue if it’s going to follow closely to the prequel TNBC Game, The Pumpkin King Game, where Jack and Oogie first met and began their rivalry. It doesn’t *seem* like it right now, but I’m not going to make grand assumptions so soon. Only time will tell!

Personally, I’m stoked and waiting to see more about this next year! What are your guy’s thoughts?

Sunset Valley – The End of Days

Prologue

Sunset Valley, BC

River’s Journal – June 15th 1989

Today is one of the sunniest days we’ve had. Spring in British Columbia has always been a mixture of precipitation and rain. I don’t know what tomorrow will bring, but for right now, everything is right with the world – everything is as it should be. I’m now a young adult. Haruo turned young adult a year ago. And now the two of us are of the age of majority. Bebe turned young adult about six months ago and our lives are ahead of us. The three of us and Phil, Haruo’s friend, have always been tight, inseparable. Although Bebe tolerates Phil and Phil does everything to get on Bebe’s nerves, they’re still friends. And now Clarissa has entered the scene. She has been a boon for Phil as she tolerates his idiosyncrasies. I think they’re a match.

Meanwhile, Haruo, having been henpecked by his mother, has never really known what to do. Just recently, Haruo and I have decided to move to 5 Summerhill Court and that took a lot of convincing on my part, but I think he needed to be away from his mother – with some of the things he’s had to go through, I fear for his sanity. I don’t know how we managed to do it, but we have enough saved that we can put tents on a large sized property and start living our lives there as we earn enough money to make a success of ourselves.

But even so, we’ve heard so many disturbing things on the news. The Soviets have had yet another regime change. Since 1982 and the death of Brezhnev, we’ve had a string of Russian General Secretaries. Andropov lasted two years, then Konstantin Chernenko, now we have Mikhail Gorbachev who had led the Soviet Union to a point where there was a tenuous peace between the United States and the Warsaw Pact nations that were allied with the Soviet Union. Evidently according to my social studies teacher, who not only has been teaching us history, but also keeping us abreast of current news – we discussed many world events in class; the Soviet Union’s Politburo has been disgruntled over the fact that Gorbachev is making overtures to the West and it was nearing a tipping point. There was talk of a coup so the peace was very fragile and hung in a balance where the slightest event could tip it in a direction that was unwanted.

According to Haruo who also watched the news lately, he was of the opinion that the Soviets would probably topple Gorbachev and send us into a war that would quite possibly end humanity. I wish I could say that he was wrong. But growing up with his mother has left him with a severe case of complex PTSD and an outlook that is always pessimistic. He says that is the only way that he can protect himself. I wish there was something that I could do to help him.

Sometimes I feel as though world events sweep us a long in a tidal wave and we are helpless to stop it. I doubt that we as ordinary people can. World events are influenced by a few people in power whose motives we don’t understand and the rest of us are caught up in the ramifications of the decisions of the few. But since we have little influence over the things that bother the rest of the world, the only thing that we can do is to go about our daily lives and hope that the responsibility that we’ve given our world leaders is not for naught.

Decided to restart this fic mainly because of the fact that I ran squarely into a brick wall and my muse was NOT cooperating in the slightest.

So...

I'm watching The Teen Wolf Movie...

The following part is me commenting about the things that I see in the movie while I'm watching it, so the part below will be updated continuously for the next 2 hours

⚠️SPOILERS⚠️

•

•

•

•

So for 15 years Allison has been stuck in Bardo?! FR?!

---------------------------------------

Hate the fact that we don't get Thiam canon

---------------------------------------

Hate the fact that Stiles is not in the movie BUT MY BABY IS OFFICIALY PART OF THE FBI I'M SO PROUD OF HIM!!

---------------------------------------

Derek's got Stiles' Jeep, I repeat DEREK'S GOT STILES' JEEP OMJ I'M CRYING

---------------------------------------

Derek: "He [Eli] took the Jeep again, didn't he?"

Noah: "Why the hell does he keep taking the Jeep?"

Derek: "Because he know I hate it"

BECAUSE IT'S HIS BOYFRIEND'S AND NOBODY CAN YOU USE IT IF NOT HIM

Sterek all the way❤️

---------------------------------------

AHAHAHAHA Jackson popping out so randomly AHAHAHAH

---------------------------------------

Of course it's the Nemeton... it's ALWAYS the Nemeton

---------------------------------------

I'm sorry, MALIA WHAT THE HELL?!?! From the trailer we all knew about you and Jordan... BUT NOT LIKE THIS!! WHAT WAS THAT ENTRANCE?! OH MY JACK!!

---------------------------------------

Soo... is somebody going to tell us what happened with Stydia and Scalia, and who is Eli's mom?

Nvm Eli has two dads, Derek and Stiles

Please he his SO MUCH like Stiles!!

---------------------------------------

X: "How many curse words do you want?"

Jeff: "Yes"

---------------------------------------

Aww Derek tells Eli The Teen Wolf Chronicles🥺

---------------------------------------

X: "How many naked people do you want?"

Jeff: "Yes"

---------------------------------------

"Scott who?" This hurts

---------------------------------------

Oh and yeah, how exactly Mason ended up to be a police officer? And more important WHERE THE HELL IS COREY?!

---------------------------------------

Derek's eyes😍

They are a lighter shade of blue... so gorgeous

---------------------------------------

Liam my baby I love you so much🥰

---------------------------------------

Sooo Eli's problem is that he passes out seeing his own fangs and claws? Great for a werewolf

---------------------------------------

So basically is season three all over again but this time without Void Stiles... as much as I love season three... Jeff you could've come up with something new

---------------------------------------

FINALLY MY FAVOURITE HELLOUND AND FAVOURITE CREATURE🔥❤️

---------------------------------------

HERE HE COMES!! Popping out of nowhere!! But we're not complaining: it's good to see you Peter!!

---------------------------------------

But exactly... why is Jackson here? He looks so out of place!!

---------------------------------------

Eli: "My dad told me you almost had to cut his arm off once because of wolfsbane poisoning"

STILES almost had to!!

---------------------------------------

Jackson: "Why don't we catch him and kill the Nogitsune? That sounds like a pretty good plan to me"

OH THAT'S A GREAT IDEA!! How did no one think about it in season three? Kill the Nogitsune... it was so easy guys.

Jackson honey, I understand that you weren't there at the time, but if they're telling you that the Nogitsune is back it means that they couldn't kill him... and if they could, why wouldn't they do it? THINK JACKSON

---------------------------------------

I checked: even though it was pretty obvious, Hikary and Liam said "I love you"... that's a low blow

---------------------------------------

Eli: "I can do this"

Apparently he can't

---------------------------------------

Rowan trees burned down... excellent

---------------------------------------

Malia and Jordan... it kinda looks wrong to me and I don't know why

---------------------------------------

So, responsible for burning down Derek's house and supposed to be dead... it can't be Gerard, right? Please tell me it's not him.

Nahh, the figure seems too young to be him!!

---------------------------------------

So this is actually Allison?!

---------------------------------------

Derek: "Eli did you see your eyes?"

Eli: "How the hell am I supposed to see my eyes? They're the things I use to see"

Finally someone saying something that make actually sense!!

---------------------------------------

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!

HARRIS?! ... I MEAN SERIOUSLY?!

Where the hell did he come from?! This doesn't make any sense!!

---------------------------------------

Of course... ELI YOU'RE OFFICIALY WELCOME INTO THE CLUB OF TRAUMATISED KIDS!!

---------------------------------------

Heartbreak? What happened with Stiles, Lydia?

---------------------------------------

I... certainly did not expect this... Lydia saved him by not being with him... this is a thing I didn't think could ever be possible.

It seems like they're not meant to be, please it's so sad😭

---------------------------------------

THE SCREAAAAAAAAM!!!

---------------------------------------

So it's now possible to borrow fox fire from a kitsune? Ehm... ok

---------------------------------------

Ok but seeing the three of them with all different eye colour gave me chills!!

---------------------------------------

"You can't kill me"

and all I can think about is:

"You can kill the Oni but me, ME! I'm a thousand years old YOU CAN'T KILL ME"

---------------------------------------

AAA THE ROARS!!😆

CHILLS, LITERAL CHILLS!

---------------------------------------

WAIT SO DEREK IS A TRUE ALP--

WHERE THE HELL DID HE GO?!

---------------------------------------

But the Scallison kiss🥺❤️

---------------------------------------

STOP!! HE'S NOT DEAD!!

DEREK IS NOT FUCKIND DEAD!!

He cannot be... he's not.. he's not😭

---------------------------------------

Derek fixed Stiles' Jeep, I'm weak😭😭

THE JEEP IS THE REAL FUCKING GLUE OF THIS SHOW!!

---------------------------------------

Derek you didn't deserve this end after all the pain you suffered...❤️

but we know that you're not dead so stop messing around and turn back to your family, they still need you

---------------------------------------

Noah: "[Derek] had complicated feelings about that Jeep"

We all know what that means...

IT'S LIKE DESTIEL ALL OVER AGAIN, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

Pain, pure pain

Oh my Sterek💔

---------------------------------------

So in the end Scott kept his promise after all❤️

From now on every time I'll do a rewatch and get to that scene... I'll watch it with different eyes

---------------------------------------

"REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE"

---------------------------------------

CONCLUSIONS:

I liked it because it's Teen Wolf, one of my favourite series, but I got to say that i'm pretty disappointed.

I particularly loved all the references to Stiles, a way to make him part of the movie without actually being in the movie, loved it.

Can't believe I'm saying this, but for the role he played Liam could have very well not been in the movie. This hurts, but he practically did nothing, he barely spoke. I'm really mad for this, he seemed so useless. And maybe I'm biased but I saw zero chemistry between him and Hikari.

Jeff, you could have used him better, for example I don't know CANONISING THIAM.

I felt the lack of Theo Reaken references, so now I'm going to reply on fanfictions👍

But Hikari too, she had pontential but turn out to be pretty useless.

All the time waiting for Liam to interact with Mason (his best-friend) and Scott (his brother) and... nothing.

Also, I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT I WAITED ALL THIS TIME JUST TO SEE DEREK HALE DIE... AGAIN!! Even thought I strongly believe that he's not dead, that hurt!!

On a scale from 1 to 10 this movie is a 5.5, could have been definitely better, starting by creating a different story but I liked it. Definitely loved some parts!!

Now, technically there will be a second movie that I will obviously watch cause it's Teen Wolf, and I truly hope that it will be better that the first.

That's it, I just got a lot of unanswered questions

My Personal Book Review 17

Title: The Battle for Pumpkin King

Author: Dan Connor

Idea By: DJ Milky, Shaun McLaughlin

Illustrator: Deborah Allo, Roberto Scalia

Genre(s): Graphic Novel, Fantasy, Halloween

Synopsis: Explore Jack and Oogie Boogie’s early days in Halloween Town and learn how their inseparable friendship turns sour as they battle to become the next Pumpkin King. Discover the mastermind who’s pulling the strings, and relive the fantastic world of The Nightmare Before Christmas in this all-new manga adaptation!

Personal Rating: 6.5/10

Opinion: Honestly, I found myself a bit underwhelmed by this. I did like it, but I guess I was just expecting a bit more than what I read. I feel like it could've explored Jack and Oogie's friendship a bit more and done more to show how their friendship ended. And I wish they did more with former Pumpkin King, I felt he didn't do as he could to manipulate Oogie and Jack and really serve as the mastermind of the situation. But still, it was a pretty nice story, I just felt it could've been executed better.
