New ETN Oneshot!

This was all a lie. It had to be. The words ‘dead’ and ‘Lauren’ together made about as much sense as a butchered attempt at speaking a foreign language.

Hey there, my little Marbles! So, in light of me currently being busy with several longfics, I feed you all with this wonderfully angsty treat to keep you all busy as I hurry away!

I have a new Season 2 oneshot out called And The Funny Thing Is I Would've Married You that diverges from canon only sightly and explores what might have happened had Alex had another reason for being so broken over Lauren's death.

This fic broke me as I wrote it, but I still got it done and had a really fun time with it, so that's enough for me!

Hope you enjoy, Your Author, Marbella. <3

Class Favorites: Online Content Creators (But Let's Be Real They're All From TikTok)

This one took me forever to make because if y'all don't recall there was that like 12 hour or some ish "ban" of TikTok and I didn't know how to recommend all these creators from a platform that was essentially set to go away. Now that it's "back," I'm going to share their TikTok accounts and maybe if they have a website and allow you to follow their trails.

Note: These people bring me joy or educate me in some way, however that does not mean I agree with everything they put out. Just saying to be respectful of these humans.

LinkTree

Akkaraj is an indie food reviewer out in California. I don't know what caught me, but his catch phrases have kept me locked in and amused. The "GaahhhDayumm's" and "Sauce it down you do too much" lines are a joy to me. He do be giving out too many GD's though, so we gotta watch his judgement sometimes, but I trust that he knows when something tastes good. My favorite food reviewer out right now.

Note: He is not necessarily main BDS friendly, so if that is something that will turn you off, I get it and that's why I mentioned it.

@ Lildummydev (Devin Mcnulty)

LinkTree

I don't watch everything Devin posts, but I loved her "Cutthroat Closet Cleanout" series and enjoy her fashion content in general. I know it seemed like a trend in the "influencer" space for 2024 to purge your entire closet and replace it with a minimal capsule wardrobe, but that seemed so far from her point. The idea was to have a wardrobe that she loves, will last her a long time and has purpose. There is a caveat for sentimental pieces and highly specific occasion items, but you get the point. Although I don't plan a clean-out any time soon, the way she went about it was something that I hope I'll remember if I ever want to do one in the future. ________________________________________________________________

@ Wisdm8 (Wisdom Kaye)

Speaking of fashion, if this man is not on your radar, even casually, that needs to change. Wisdom is someone who puts and styles outfits together. Of course he has style himself and knows how to put on a piece of clothing, but his real talent lies in his creativity and ability to bring ideas to life. I believe he is special. Now he does create hella expensive outfits that are wildly unobtainable, however and this might just be me, I'm not pressed about how much the clothes cost. Like I said I'm more into the creativity of it all. He's creating outfits based on fonts and whole countries, so I'm less concerned about the times people ask him to show off. Again TALENT!________________________________________________________________

@ Kuinitanga (Te Kuini)

Every time she graces my For You Page, I am met with instant joy. She frequently does a Mãori dance to the song 35 by Ka Hao. (I apologize for not knowing the name of the dace itself.) A lot of what I will share today are creators that bring me joy and I have never not felt joy with her. Doesn't matter how many of her videos come across my feed, I will take the sunshine. ________________________________________________________________

@ LaurDIY Vlogs (Lauren Riihimaki)

LaurDIY.com

This is one of the only Youtubers I got on the list. I specifically watched all of Lauren's wedding vlogs and think she did an absolutely amazing job. The color pallet was so fun and pretty and although it cost more money than I would have ever spent on lights, the tent lights (don't know what they're actually called) made the whole thing shine and look more gorgeous. Anyway if you're into wedding content, her stuff will fill that cup for you. ________________________________________________________________

@ Hasanabi (Hasan Piker)

He's on everything, so going to his Twitch will lead you to everything else.

I'm not gonna spend my time justifying him or my consumption of his content, y'all were there, you saw what was up. Also Free Palestine. Like always, I mostly just caught the "clip" channels on YouTube and some of his podcast "Fear &" thrown into the mix too. PS: If you are not aware of Hasan, he is a political streamer on Twitch with socialist views. He is not a gamer lol, but there is much fun to be had on his stream as well.

@ JustSadeee (Sadé Elizabeth)

All her links

Sadé is someone who is rather great at questioning our thoughts about community and the ways we show up for said community. She is social worker and community worker in California and is truly out there doing the work and leading by example. Do you need to have a heart to heart about masking or want to know why everyone deserves help, even the one's who are are seemingly antithetical to the growth we want for the world, she can give that to you. A wealth of resources and knowledge, but also someone that I wouldn't mind just hanging out with. Sadé gives me real and honest and human like the rest of us. Read her work., watch her videos and be like her and get out in your community.

@ KeeganTindall

Linktree

Dark humor isn't for everyone, but I've gotten really into his brand of particular brand of dark humor. My favorite is his skits with The Evil Gnome. I will share the Evil Gnome and his gnome bacon shenanigans with all who will take the time to watch. It's just silly and weird and I'm totally here for it. That being said you have to watch Keegan's original sketch as well as Mitch Fern's animated version, because both are fantastic and the animation does the original so much justice. Keegan is also a stand-up comedian and a film maker, so if gnomes aren't your thing, there is more to check out.

@ Medohalimy (Medoh Halimy)

Medoh is a young Palestinian man who simply wanted to make things grow while death and destruction was all around him. Outside of the tent in Gaza where he was living, he started a garden that he hoped to keep planting in until the genocide against the Palestinians was over. Unfortunately he lost his life before seeing the end of said genocide or even the "ceasefire" that was recently announced. He was a light in the darkness and I highly encourage those who haven't experienced him yet to go watch his videos and keep his memory alive.

I'm sure I missed someone but hopefully you found at least one person who you though was at least worth clicking on the link for.

I think I’ve only cried twice while watching Escape the Night and it’s been for Ro/MatPat and now the Lauren-Alex-Destorm conflict

because holy shit episode 4x04

The Destorm-Alex rivalry quickly became the best ongoing subplot in Escape the Night

Revenge plot line? Unwilling teammates? Alex playing into a villain role to form an alliance with Destorm becoming the catalyst for Destorm becoming a team player??

Destorm they could never make me hate you, you had the greatest character development in this show

“This is for Lauren.”

@pinkmarbella2050 think you would appreciate these thoughts

Achieving the iconic 2015 look as a 2025 girl!

Have you ever told yourself you were born into the wrong generation? Maybe it’s the nostalgia of listening to One Direction on your iPhone 5, or maybe you’re older and can enjoy it more now. Whatever the case may be, if you’re reading this you also miss the good energy of the 2013-2016s. And if that is the case, this is the post for you! Achieving a real and authentic 2015 inspired year is nowhere near as unobtainable as it might seem. From youtube, to fashion inspo let this post be your guide to unleashing your inner icon!

Fashion Inspiration!

King kylie, Bella Hadid, Ariana Grande and Sky Ferreria! All iconic and well known fashion icons. Whether you're a Pinterest 2014 girl or a Tumblr 2015 one, you at least are familiar with one. Luckily a huge part of the era's fashion is it's simplicity. Depending on the sub-style you're going for, your inspiration can range anywhere from shabby chic to grunge!

Regardless of color, most of the essentials remain the same. Skater girl skirts? Make it pink or black, and it works no matter the aesthetic! Though for some things, such as the coquette shabby chic, try things like floral wedges and flowy dresses! And for grunge, try flannels, black skinny jeans and converse! Fashion is all about what works for you, which is why it's important to find your style before anything else. Fashion inspo is just as unique as you are!

Movies and Books!

Of course, to really embrace the energy of a 2015 icon, you have to surround yourself with it! Staple movies like, The Fault in our stars and Paper towns are a way one ticket to nostalgia. Other movies such as Divergent, The Hunger Games, The Great Gatsby and If I Stay are perfect additions to your 2015 movie nights! My personal favorite movies of the time are All the bright places, Naomi and Ely's No Kiss List and LOL. The early 2010's were the best movie era in my opinion and this filmography list proves it!

The books however, are an entirely more diverse subject. While most 2010's movies are either mostly dystopian or romance, the books are a whole different ballpark. From horror to romcom to sci-fi, there's a fit for everyone! The most popular choices are of course John Green and your typical dystopian series; however, I raise a much larger choice of selections. In terms of sci-fi with a mix of romance the Caster Chronicles series (Beautiful Creatures) is a phenomenal series and an even better movie. If horror is more your speed, Natasha Preston's The Cellar and Welcome to the Dark House by Parker Bradley are definitely CoCo approved! Finally for the love nuts, aka me, To All the Boys I've Loved Before is a classic and obvious choice, but I would be a fraud to not include it!

Music Music Music!

One beautiful thing about the 2010's is it's consistency in music that makes you feel! For most people, that feeling is sadness LOL. However, there is poetry in that writing which makes the inner ache of somber all worth it for the bliss of melody. Artists like The 1975, Marina, Lana Del Rey and Lorde are all versatile and perfect artists to get you right back in that nostalgic state!

Whether you're looking for a more girlish vibe or a darker energy, the 2010's are a great time for whatever musical desires you have! I will leave my link to my 2014 playlist right here! Whether you use it for yourself or inspiration is up to you! Please let me know in the comments if you end up liking it, or link your own playlists!!!

Room Decor!

The quickest way to achieve a realistic 2015 inspired room is to go onto Pinterest and find your niche! For some super personal ideas on how to make your room aesthetically you, check out some old DIY YouTube videos. They range from various aesthetics, and you can personalize them anyway you please! My favorite youtubers to watch are MyLifeAsEva, LaurDIY, Alisha Marie and of course my queen of DIY Bethany Mota.

For the overall aesthetic, if you’re one of the grungier girls, opt for posters like The 1975 or The Neighborhood. Things like black throw pillows or printed out photos of you and your friends are perfect for achieving your look. Cutting out clippings from magazines and making collages is also a fun and free way to personalize your room!

Now if you’re like me and you’re more of a pink girl, try floral sheets like tulips or daisies! Fur throw pillows and double sided sequin pillows are a good touch for your bed too. Posters like Lana Del Rey and Ariana Grande are more 2015-esque touches, along with string lights and polaroids!

No matter the aesthetic, what’s really important is personalization! You don’t want your room to be the same as everyone else’s, it should be unique and showcase who you are!

In Conclusion..

Whether you’re a Tumblr grunge or a Pinterest shabby chic, I hope this guide helps you in any way it can! The most important thing about truly making this year your dream aesthetic is all in your experience. 2025 is what you make it! Whether it’s staying at home all day reading TFIOS, or if it’s going out and taking polaroids on the beach. Any year can be any aesthetic you want, as long as you hope it so. Even small things like hanging out with friends or watching nostalgic YouTube videos can make your year what you want it to be!

Thank you so much for reading, and for all of the support I have gotten! I truly haven’t been posting for long, but I have already made friends and gotten so much love and I want to thank you all so very much for it! If there’s anything you’re interesting in me reading, or want a more in depth explanation for, please let me know in the comments! I love you divas, stay cutesy!
