Hey, Owl House fans that are looking for other media to get into now that the show has ended: check out the Nevermoor series by Jessica Townsend!
The series is about a young girl named Morrigan Crow, who is whisked away to the magical city of Nevermoor the night she is supposed to die. Once there, she has to navigate her new home in the whimsical Hotel Deucalion, her education at the prestigious Wundrous Society, and the truth about the mysterious and powerful legacy she belongs to.
The series is categorized as middle grade/~YA, so it's similar in how it can appeal to an all-ages audience. Like The Owl House, it balances lighter moments with darker, more sinister revelations (and they're just getting started!). The author is queer herself and openly expresses her thoughts against + directly confronts bigotry and hatred while also being just an all-around wonderful person.
It contains some classic tropes such as a magical school, found family, and corrupt authority figures, all in unique and fresh ways. There is a diverse cast of characters, including a sapphic couple where one of them works at a magical library (sound familar...? 😉). There are several multi-dimensional antagonists, and they all work to challenge Morrigan and the story in their own unique ways. Also: there's a giant talking cat! Love that.
The series has an interesting magic system + worldbuilding, with tons of lore and history to dig your hands into and theorize if that's what you like. The character development is so fun and interesting as Morrigan and her friends grow up and find their place in the world. The world is so fleshed out that you can easily pick a minor side character or a location that's briefly mentioned, and extrapolate on how and where they fit into the story and themes as a whole.
There are three books out already, out of nine planned books. The fourth book Silverborn comes out in October, so there's plenty of time to get caught up until then! I highly recommend giving it a try.

Hoping for a little help with finding a movie to show my English classes. Criteria:
Appropriate for 13-16-year-olds
In English
Something to do with urban renewal / neighborhood (re)development / urban archaeology (topics from the current unit)
Not a documentary
There must be lots of movies where the neighborhood bands together to save the park from the big bad corporate land developers, but I'm not finding anything. Or maybe raising money to build a community garden or playground on an abandoned lot?
The two closest things I've found so far are The Dig but it's too intellectual, and Gagarine which would be perfect but it's in French.

Question.
If I sign up for the free trial for Crunchyroll Premium, is it hard/annoying to cancel before the trial is over and they try to charge you? I ask because I DESPERATELY wanna watch the Idolish7 Beyond the Period movie and it's only available there right now. But I am not giving Crunchyroll my money for it...

Do you know how I can download the RWRB movie to make videos with Prime Video won't allow me and I want to download it to my phone
Torrents here and here. If you're in the West make sure to use a VPN.

i seriously think maybe covid DID do something to my brain, but it was ... somehow winding back the clock to the time when i cared about music??????
cut bc of personal rambling
like i haven't listened to the radio in YEARS
i used to be all up on everything popular music as much as i could in my teens (no internet) and then in my 20s i had subscriptions to spin and alternative press and i worked in a store where i could access rolling stone or billboard at will etc.
(this is after i went through a period of being desperately poor, so like the mid 90s was just radio i had no money)
but like in the last ten, fifteen years i had just gotten ... tired of everything i heard, couldn't be bothered to look for more music really. i still lived my favorites but i hadn't added more than maybe ten songs to my library (other than cdrama tracks lol) in as many years it seems like
and then for some reason last year i started picking up the occasional new song i liked again
maybe it's having a place to live where i can play music out loud? but i lived the the same place back when i enjoyed music and dancing around the apartment and then when i didn't ...
i really don't know, but this spring/summer i have downloaded and *listened to* more music in six months than in the last twenty years probably
stuff that i *could* have heard the first time around but only now am i interested - i just don't get it.
maybe the thing about covid messing with the brain and memory storage is right and for some reason it like, cleared the cache on my music storage in my brain and now there's more room?
like i am still incredibly picky and not all listening to like *everything* but i am still enjoying it a LOT
it's just weird for me personally to hear a song and go 'oh hey i LIKE that i need to hear it again' and i find i worry that my interest will just ... turn itself off again
so far though it is SO nice
