Chain of Influence from Alexa Chung's IT: Heathers and Beetlejuice

Alexa Chung was a British TV host, model, and the IT girl of the 2010s. Ballet flats, hot pants, cashmere cardigans, and statement sunglasses made Alexa a fashion icon. During a time when skinny jeans, neon accessories, and flower crowns were a thing, Alexa stood out with ahead-of-her-time style choices. She definitely was one of the first well-known women that I sourced my inspiration from.

"IT"

In 2013, Alexa released her debut book IT, featuring her drawings, style influences, witty advice, and stories. This perfectly pink, cultural reset of a book, catered to young, aspiring "It" girls and wannabe Vogue Editors. Despite receiving critiques akin to a "wasted opportunity," IT marked the sweet beginning of character development for my 13-year-old self. The book led me on a transformative journey, unveiling my taste in music, film, and fashion - a chain of influence, if you will.Alexa wrote a lot about the most iconic film fashion that inspired her throughout the years.

HEATHERS (1988)

One of the films that started my endless love for cinema and marked the chain of influence, was Heathers (1988) - directed by Michael Lehmann and written by Daniel Waters. A satirical and macabre cult classic about a high school, where obnoxious jocks rule and the mean girls are all called Heather - until Veronica (Winona Ryder) and her mysterious boyfriend (Christian Slater) decide to kill every mean kid at the school. Pair a cinematic legend (our girl Wino) with a sexy hunk that is Christian Slater, and you have yourself an 80s classic. Watching this film when you’re 14 years old, in your secret world (my room) on a mini laptop was a transformative experience. In a sense that, in that moment, I fully understood the magic that cinema held and I wanted more. My eyes could not get enough of the cinematography, the costumes and the beautiful young actors - all while the haunting Syd Straw’s voice sang Que Sera, Sera (strongly advisable to put this song on while reading this post). 

The film itself tells a classic tale of relational agression between high school girls. In the words of Lyn Mikel Brown or her book of the same name - girlfighting. In the book Girlfighting (2003), the author argues that for quite some time, soap-operas, films, and reality TV had only focused on women who are in competition with one another. Heathers falls right into that category. Its main focus is Veronica Sawyer (Winona Ryder) - one of the Heathers clique, who finally gets tired of being an accomplice to other school kids’ misery. Her character has a line in the film where she says: “I don’t really like my friends. It is like they are people I work with and our job is being popular”. It is the moment where Veronica foreshadows her involvement in the downfall of her mean friends. This twist is kind of ironic as Veronica is such good of a person that she cannot stand the meanness of her friends. Thus, she will become mean herself and even turn to murder, in order to end the meanness altogether.  

COSTUMES

Iconic, voluminous hair, fitted checkered jackets with shoulder pads, mid-length grandma skirts, colourful stockings and none other than bitchy attitudes! Every shot of Heathers is filled with endless outfit inspiration, curated by Rudy Dillon. Oh, how fun would it have been to dress like that in high school. I love how this kind of fashion evokes a nostalgic longing for a time before I was even born. From then on out, you would not see me leave a vintage clothing store without an 80's padded jacket.

It would be very easy to guess who I was planning to dress as on Halloween 2014. I put my grey skirt on, borrowed my grandpa’s ashy blue t-shirt, covered my face in fake blood and bought a paper cigar from Tiger. It was magical. I walked around saying “What’s your damage, Heather?” - sadly, no one understood the reference back then and I ended up really scaring my mum. I might have been better at Maths, had I not been rewatching Heathers every other evening. However, no regrets. 2 + 2 is still 4, forever till the end of time. 

Beetlejuice (1988)

The chain of influence from Alexa’s book continued naturally when I decided to explore Winona’s earlier work. The first one that came to mind was Winona’s breakthrough film 'Beetlejuice' (1988) - an absolute Halloween must-watch. Crafted by the extravagantly distinctive auteur director Tim Burton, renowned for the gothic and fantastical settings in his films. The contrast-heavy cinematography in Burton’s mise-en-scène is influenced by German Expressionism, an art movement that emerged in Germany in the early 20th century. The most predominant aspects of this movement include distorted sets, angular or weirdly-shaped architecture, and a dark, frightening atmosphere.

The film tells the story of a recently deceased couple, portrayed by Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin, who find themselves haunting their home after a new family moves in. In an attempt to scare away the living occupants, the couple summons a mischievous spirit named Betelgeuse (Michael Keaton) by saying his name three times. The narrative takes an intriguing turn with the introduction of Winona Ryder's character, Lydia, who, along with her parents (Catherine O’Hara and Jeffrey Jones), becomes entangled with the supernatural world. Winona Ryder delivers a captivating performance as Lydia, portraying a goth teenage girl who can see the dead because she has no fear of dying.

CINEMATOGRAPHY

Cinematographer Thomas E. Ackerman fully realised Burton’s ominous vision for the film. Every single shot is like a surrealist painting - a true feast for the eyes. Even if one does not find the film’s plot appealing, the visual aesthetic will still definitely satisfy one’s artistic hunger. Ackerman's attention to detail and use of lighting contribute to the film's haunting atmosphere, making it a visual masterpiece.

Beetlejuice vs. The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari

As mentioned previously, the influence of German Expressionism is evident in Burton’s work, and in my opinion, especially in Beetlejuice. The film has striking visual similarities to, arguably, one of the first horror films, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920), directed by a German director of the silent era - Robert Wiene. The film follows a somnambulist who makes horrifying predictions of future events. I watched it in university while I studied film, and I have to say, I was utterly spellbound. The fact that a silent film can be spine-chilling like that still blows my mind.

The distorted corridor in Beetlejuice mirrors the endless, distorted corridor in The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. It evokes a sense of claustrophobia, almost like an optical illusion. The surrealist, angular structure of the Caligari corridor seamlessly fits into Beetlejuice, capturing the dreamlike, or rather nightmarish atmosphere. Exactly what one imagines the afterlife to be like.

In the following comparison shots, we can even identify a door with a diagonal line in Burton’s still, and the exact same shaped detail (window/door) on the house in Wiene’s still. I missed a crucial and rather obvious detail, which I just now discovered. You should have seen the way my jaw dropped: there is a black silhouette of a man in the background, seemingly holding a broom in Burton’s shot. Similarly, in Caligari’s shot, there is a man wearing black, holding what appears to be a cane.

The following two shots also sparked an 'aha' moment for me. In one, the green light and the appearance of a dead bride with a tulle veil emerge from the darkness. In another, there is a muted green light covering the room, and a girl sleeps in a white nightgown, reminiscent of a wedding dress, on a bed adorned with tulle sheets.

THE DINNER

There's a dinner scene in Beetlejuice that's wonderfully campy and even a bit meta, making it one of the most standout moments in cinema to date. The scene features Lydia, her parents, and their friends having dinner. In an attempt to scare them into leaving, the deceased couple (the Maitlands) and Betelgeuse possess the guests. One by one, they start moving involuntarily and break into singing Harry Belafonte’s legendary song 'Day-O (The Banana Boat Song),' in his distinctive voice. I truly love this artistic decision because it cleverly uses dark humour and absurdity to dilute the frightening topic of spirits and afterlife.

As I reflect on this chain of influence, I think of it as the epitome of 'one thing led to another.' I love that I could delve into Winona Ryder's creative universe and discover life-altering cinematic classics as a young girl. This, however, is just one of the many discoveries I made as a 13-year-old reading Alexa's book. More is yet to come...

Watching a review of the Wednesday show and the guy was like "this show is good because it was everything Chilling Adventures of Sabrina should have been" and I was just like, bro no

Like I said it from the get go that this show was literally going to be a Sabrina knockoff and he literally just confirmed all of my suspicions, but said it was a good thing the show went this route and I just. That's the ultimate problem with the show that it would rather take aesthetics from Riverdale and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, shows with great visuals but shitty writing that get tons of clicks rather than risk making something that would be respectful to the source material but an original work of art in this age of cliche Netflix Riverdale aesthetic teen dramas, like the main issue is that they didn't make the Wednesday show like this because they thought it would serve the family and their narrative they made it like this because it would be profitable. In no world should you be comparing some Riverdale spinoff to an Addams Family property, there should not be a world where we make the Addams Family a Riverdale aesthetic murder mystery show (which btw that was Riverdale's season one, a murder mystery), that's not their core, that's not their aesthetic, I don't want to live in a world where The Addams Family are two steps away from crossing over with a Riverdale property, the dialogue he played to show how well written the show was, made me cringe so much, like it was basic and cliche and it didn't subvert anything the way the Addams Family is supposed to and it just feels like such a waste of Jenna Ortega as Wednesday, because I do agree with him that she was insanely well cast and deserves to be Wednesday in a property that is actually good and is actually The Addams Family, they all do, this cast is like the only good thing this show adds to The Addams Family canon. He's not completely charitable to the show and he does point out the obvious flaws with the terrible love triangle, the cringey side characters, and the lackluster way they try to wrap up the big conspiracy at the end, but he admitted that he never liked the Addams Family or knows anything about the OG family and so taking his word on this show is something that needs to be taken with a massive grain of salt.

The issue at the core of this review is that he doesn't understand the source material and he doesn't understand that taking Wednesday away from her family and making her into a Chilling Adventures of Sabrina knockoff doesn't quite mesh with the source material's original intent and I don't think you always need to stick to the source material especially with something as lose as The Addams Family, but when the show is just ultimately Tim Burton trying to keep his career and his white goth aesthetic alive and using a property with characters already known by the public in order to ensure the most profit possible (remember Netflix telling Craig McCracken they didn'twant any new IPs only reboots and sequels) putting this family into a show that is antithesis to their core artistic directive and the way they just completely butchered every other character's personality in the Addams Family besides Wednesday is beyond disappointing. It's just so obvious after watching this review to me that the show only used The Addams Family for their aesthetic and that they (Tim Burton) wanted to use Wednesday Addams as a Winona Ryder goth manic pixie dream girl archetype rather than what her characterization and her family's characterization actually is

I think the biggest thing I took away from his review is that the Riverdale creator is a desparate Tim Burton wannabe who can't write a good script to save his life and so it makes sense to me that the new Tim Burton show was just a Riverdale looking teen drama with slightly better writing

Stranger Things happening - or the geeks shall inherit the 🌍...well first they'll save it of course...

From Wikipedia: (looky here)

geek /ɡiːk/

The word geek is a slang term originally used to describe eccentric or non-mainstream people; in current use, the word typically connotes an expert or enthusiast obsessed with a hobby or intellectual pursuit. In the past, it had a generally pejorative meaning of a "peculiar person, especially one who is perceived to be overly intellectual, unfashionable, boring, or socially awkward". In the 21st century, it was reclaimed and used by many people, especially members of some fandoms, as a positive term. Some use the term self-referentially without malice or as a source of pride, often referring simply to "someone who is interested in a subject (usually intellectual or complex) for its own sake".

I guess I can consider myself being a Geek. In fact, I've been living the Geek's life for almost half a century now. That's why I had a good chuckle, when I was reading what Wikipedia had to say about my "condition": "eccentric", "non-mainstream", "obsessed with intellectual pursuit", "overly intellectual", "unfashionable", "boring" and "socially awkward"...

Check, check, check, check, check, check and check.

Funny, especially when being able to witness the changes in perception over the decades to what it is now. Worn with pride, Geeks being the backbone of every fandom and motor of their creativity and imagination.

Sure, still boring for many and socially awkward for others seeing themselves as the crown of mainstream's creation.

To hell with them. Without us geeks, where would the world stand?

No fantasy novels. Karen would never have had the chance to watch Jackson's Lord of the Rings in cinema with her cheerleader friends and football jocks.

No Science Fiction. The captain of the soccer team would never have watched the latest mediocre Star Wars clone on Netflix.

No Computer Games. Eat this, Fifa Soccer FUT addicts and Call-of-Duty wannabe soldiers.

No Disney+, Netflix, Prime, XYZ streams anywhere, fuelled by the fantasy and creativity of Writers, all of them Nerds.

Tumblr would already have sunken into oblivion without the fandoms holding it together. Geeking out here just for the sake of it and to share their love for all sorts of things amongst each other.

What triggered this sudded Geekocalypse of mine?

I just finished a rather extrem binge of Stranger Things Season 1-4 in the course of 7 days (incl. full days at the office).

Loved it. A show so made for me. Don't get me wrong. I still love my ineffable husbands above all else and the Dead Boy Detective agency didn't conquer a special place in my heart for nothing (and is here to stay...hopefully til season 2, 3, ...). But Stranger Things? That mixed group of kids/teenagers? They're basically me. I am an 80s kid. Grew up exactly in that time the things take place in Hawkins Indiana. I was the DnD playing, fantasy loving, booksmart, shy, introverted, wannabe hero in mind, sci-fy loving, angsty yet courageous Geek. I walked small but dreamed big (guess still do...). Blushed when girls even looked in my direction, at least the ones that were not mocking and bullying me (which there weren't many of the latter..almost none tbh). So watching this show triggered quite a lot. Actually this feels like a huge understatement. Letting this bunch stumble into all those strange things (pun intended). The way how the different groups of characters - some completely on opposite sides in the beginning - find together and in the end grow to something bigger...sigh. Even the few grown-ups in leading roles are basically just grown-up geeks (Hopper - David Harbour and Joyce - Winona Ryder).

They save the Earth times over without getting any acknowledgement or thank-you and the bing-bang with season 5 is yet to come...

Anyway. Consider this my shoutout to all you other Geeks out there!

Let's be geeky! Let's be creative! Let's be kind! Let's spread the love! Let's be proud! (It's pride-month afterall 🌈).

In the end, the 🌍 will be ours. First, we'll be saving it of course. No one in their right mind can trust that to those normalos out there, right?!?

wonder where blondie is tonight

[cunninghamchrissie]

just like monica lewinsky, we’re gonna look back at these johnny wife-beater trials n 10, 20 years and say to ourselves “wow how did we let amber get so mistreated, ppl were disgusting” and y’all are gonna say you “didn’t know” the truth or that you though “both sides were equally as toxic” when there’s a literal judgement affirming he was abusive at least a dozen times and plenty of video and photographic evidence of mr jack sparrow beating the shit out of his wife, calling the mother of his children an extortionist cunt, winona ryder and kate moss talking abt him trashing hotel rooms and now his buddy and godfather of his daughter brian warner (aka marilyn manson) sharing the same counsel and suing evan rachel wood for defamation bc this joke of a trial opened a precedent

i don’t wanna hear a fucking peep from any of you spreading disinformation bullshit his russian backed lobbyist lawyer is paying bots to spread not now and esp not years from now when you finally come to your goddamn senses and amber has already been further traumatized and stripped of all her money bc of this lowlife keith richards wannabe, that is if she’s not killed by one of this asshole’s fans like they are already planning to do and she’s had to hire security for

[mermaidsirennikita]

Mermaids is such a surreal film. Teenage wannabe nun Winona Ryder praying a lot while her mom Cher (who is Jewish, even though Winona is obsessed with being a Catholic) goes off and has a lot of fun. Winona becomes obsessed with her SCHOOL BUS DRIVER, Jake Ryan from Sixteen Candles, and they make out in a bell tower after the news breaks that JFK was assassinated. Little sister Christina Ricci almost drowns while Winona is later having sex with Jake Ryan.

1990. It was a different time.

[kaypeace21]

Sean astin (variety)- “The Duffers and [director] Shawn Levy were so insistent that ‘you have no idea how much people are going to like Bob’. The positive response to Bob has been heartwarming for me, but it also kind of forced me to think about what it was that they liked so much. And what I’ve kind of appreciated way more after watching the response is how much people want and need for there to be nice, decent people in the world. And that a stepfather or a wannabe stepdad  can come into your life and may be a little bit awkward but just wants to make it work — there’s no hesitation from Bob. Bob isn’t questioning where the relationship is going. Bob is all in...there was never any doubt that Bob was just 100% pure, through and through.

And then there’s a moment with Winona outside her shop where we’re sitting and I talk about bullies and the fact that bullies pick on people who don’t push back. That relationship to Will is really special in my mind, and it says a lot about a lot of things. And I feel like Bob gives voice to an aspect of that that is familiar to everyone.If you’re not the guy who is going to puff your chest out like a rooster and go fight somebody, our society discards you. So I think it’s really, really good to give that person, the kind of normal guy, a chance to look at a broken woman and try to bond with her.

I remember David Harbour’s speech at the SAG Awards when he talked about people who feel left out, people who feel othered and lonely in life and need a champion, and how he thinks  that’s the reason people like “Stranger Things.”

31 Days of Wayhaven, Day 20

Prompt: Fear Rating: PG, for Nicky’s language (again) and minor injuries Words: 1,103 Characters: Nicolo Morelli, the rest of Unit Charlie Summary: When tasked to intercept and bring in a predator, Unit Charlie did not think they’d become prey themselves, especially not from the threat chasing them.

For the @31daysofwayhaven event.

Jumping through windows to avoid being caught was old hat to Nicky.  Yet instead of bounding over ledges and running across roof tiles to escape angry fathers or husbands who had come home too early, this time Nicky was vaulting over stone decorations and finding his footing on loose and rotting roofing material as he chased after a local urban legend while trying not to get his ass shot at by over-exuberant modern day vampire hunters.

As if the thing they were both chasing was actually a vampire.

“All I’m saying is that you can’t eat random people!” Nicky shouted, grateful that he took a half-century or so to learn Russian, and not just the swear words or pickup lines, swerving to avoid another projectile.  The idiots behind him were shrieking, partly in delight and mostly in fear about actually witnessing a vampire in the flesh and Nicky had half a mind to let them shoot him with their makeshift stake launcher, turn around, and scare the fuck out of them when he read them the riot act about shooting live ammunition at something they weren’t sure was human or not.

He wouldn’t though. One, he really liked the shirt he was wearing and didn’t want to ruin it and two, the creature he was chasing would have gotten away.

“What’s your twenty?” Cam asked, his voice coming in huffs through Nicky’s earpiece as he ran to take up the chase from his designated position.

“Being chased by drunk frat boys on the roof!  Target is twenty feet ahead of me, about to round the drop-off spot and -” he cursed as a fiery sensation ripped through his leg.  Stumbling, Nicky scrambled to keep his footing atop the roof, terrified of the drop down. The fall would definitely kill him, and he wasn’t too keen on trying to retrace his steps the second he woke up again, floating in the raging river below. “Fuck!  I’m hit, we should have waited until it had eaten these bastards first!”

“Get to safety, I see the target!” This from Penny.  “Initiating my part of the chase.”

“Bless you,” he mumbled, grunting as he swung down and hopped onto a lower balcony.  He didn’t have the exact schematics of the crumbling castle memorized, but he knew enough to know where to hide as the men chasing him realized where he had gone.

Grateful that his body didn’t give off a heat signature for their fancy equipment, Nicky took the time to pick them off one by one, easily knocking them unconscious.

The next phase of Unit Charlie’s chase didn’t need human interference. He took great glee in breaking all their equipment and hefted their stake-launcher over his shoulder for Agency confiscation.  On second thought, he took all their other weapons as well. The one who shot him had gotten a lucky hit with a crossbow, the bolt still imbedded in his thigh.  It was going to take more than one person to yank it out, and it definitely slowed him down, the pain making him grit his teeth.

Ah, Isabela, he inwardly cursed, limping his way back to the rendezvous spot as fast as he could.  You made it so I could never die, but you didn’t make it so I couldn’t feel pain?  You are a cruel woman.

Nicky, now not being chased by wannabe monster hunters, somehow made it to the rendezvous point just in time to see his three partners corner their quarry.  Huh.  This wasn’t some fearsome beast as the locals had made her out to be, but a small child, pale and trembling behind long, lanky black hair.

“We shouldn’t get too close,” Cam warned.

Nicky held out a hand.  “You shouldn’t get too close.  Out of all of us, I have the least to lose if she strikes.”  Limping closer, he crouched down to her level, trying his best to hide the fact that the move made him grit his teeth in pain.

“They were going to hurt me,” the child whispered in Russian.

“They were afraid,” he replied in the same language.  “Fear makes people do things they do not mean to do.”

“I’m scared.”  She drew her scrawny legs close to her chest and tried to make herself as small as possible.

“Are you alone here, little one?”

The girl nodded.  “Mama...the bad people came once before.  Mama tried to chase them off, but they had…” she looked past Nicky to the stake launcher he had confiscated, a strained noise escaping her as she scrabbled backwards.  There was nowhere to go though, they’d cornered her against the stone wall the castle was built out of.

“Shhh...it’s okay.”  Nicky held his hands out and moved so his body would hide the weapon.  It didn’t take a genius to figure out what had happened to the child’s mother.  “I took it from them, they can’t hurt you, not anymore.”

“Are you going to hurt me?”

Nicky’s heart twisted painfully in his chest.  “No.  No, little one, none of us are going to hurt you, I promise.  We came here to help you.”

She sniffled and hid her face behind the long curtain of her hair.  “I don’t want to be alone anymore.  I don’t want to be scared.”

Very carefully, Nicky inched his way towards her.  “If you come with us, you won’t be alone any longer.  We are part of a group that can help you, and you won’t have to be scared.”

The little girl carefully lifted her head so her hair slid away from her face.  She was far too thin for any child, and who knew how long she had been out there by herself, possibly with no way to feed.  “You promise no one will hurt me?  Like the bad people hurt Mama?”

He nodded.  “I promise.”  He wasn’t given any warning when the girl rushed forward, her bony little arms wrapped around Nicky’s neck and her head tucked under his chin.  He wrapped his arms around her frail body and rose to his feet, letting out a grunt of pain as his leg protested the move.

“My name is Nicolo, but all my friends call me Nicky.  And these are my friends Cam, Penny, and Winona.”  He shifted her to his hip for better balance as they started the trek back to where they had parked their van, thinking that he was going to have to get Penny to pull out the crossbow bolt soon or else his leg was going to heal around it.  “Come on, let’s get you safe.”

Movie HOT Takes

Spirited Away: YES it is ok. YES it has magic. YES it will get to the part of you that is still six years old, lost in the grocery store, trying to be brave.

Princess Mononoke: A feminist tries to kill god. Offers no clear answers on man’s place in the greater scheme of things. Very ok.

Kiki’s Delivery Service: Feel-good movie of the CENTURY. Ok.

My Neighbor Totoro: Magic is REAL, nature is GOOD, and you are LOVED. I cannot stress how much every single human needs to see this movie at least once. Ok.

Little Women 2019: Wonderful, magical, hard to follow. You WILL cry and you WILL like it. Ok.

Little Women 1996: WINONA RYDER. Need I say more? Ok.

Heathers: Best teen movie because instead of simplifying high schoolers into cliches, it mocks the adults and society that so eagerly dismisses them. Also don’t romanticize red flags, because sometimes a sexy dark horse is actually a wannabe mass murderer. Ok.

Juno: Exact opposite of Heathers, even more relevant. Sweet, awkward, Ellen Page + Michael Cera = Ok.

Edge of Seventeen: Over the top, still Ok.

Booksmart: HILARIOUS. Incredible, showstopping, spectacular. This movie says lesbian rights.

Election: Heathers’ lesser known little sister. Matthew Brodericks conviction that he is without fault leads him to destroy his marriage and career over 1 (one) overachieving teenage Reese Witherspoon. Greek tragedy 100%, comedy 100%. Ok.

Murder on the Orient Express: After I see a movie for the first time, it stays in my head for a few days so I can reflect. This is the only movie I’ve ever known to skip that phase entirely. I forgot everything about it the second the credits started rolling. Quite possibly the most mediocre moviegoing experience I have ever had.

The Truman Show: Magnificent. Timeless. Where is this energy in Jim Carrey’s other movies? Ok.

Inception: Overrated? Sure. Wasted Ellen Page? Perhaps. Christopher Nolan’s hyper-inflated ego? That goes without saying. Still pretty good. Ok.

Inglorious Basterds: Took an excellent plot (jewish woman masquerading as an ordinary business owner in Nazi-occupied France loves a black man, plots slow and careful revenge against the man who slaughtered her family) and pushed it to the side in favor of brad pitt and his worst accent. Still mad about it. Not ok.

A Scanner Darkly: You had me at Philip K Dick, lost me at trippy cartoon, but got me back with keanu Reeves, winona ryder, and Robert Downey Jr. 10/10 faithful adaptation of dick’s best novel, 10/10 reminder that drug abuse is medical not criminal, 10/10 slow painful journey into madness. Good sci-fi, HORRIFYING opening scene (skip if afraid of bugs). Ok.

~ Simple things in life honestly. Food, spending time with people I love and care. Laughing like nutcases over some stupid joke. Oooh and trying new things and learning new, cool things!

Lilac : Your aesthetic?

Rosemary : What cartoons did you grow up with?

~ Tom & Jerry, Scooby-Doo, Phineas and Ferb and plenty more but I still watch these 3 so I remember them the most 🙈

Winona : Favourite quote?

~ Oh I am not a avid quote person and don’t remember immediately BUT, I remember reading this specific quote once about life being limited and something about living your best (I am butchering this entirely) which stuck with me and the idea behind it stuck with me and I deeply apologise because grandma-goldfish memory 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈
