The Best Friends For Now Chronicles

I want to put together a true story series of the friendships I had that were short-lived. Or maybe ones that lived longer than they should have. People write stories all the time about the ex-boyfriends or girlfriends that have stepped into their lives.

But friends have an impact on who we want in a person, and our tastes and tolerance levels always change. We end up changing too because of these friendships. These are the people who made me the person I am today, and I'm ready to tell those stories. Are you? Please write in the comments if this would interest you.

So tired of people shipping Mike with Will

I get it that people want Will to be happy. So do I. And believe me, it's happened to me before where I've fallen for someone straight even though I knew they would never feel the same way. But I had to let go and hopefully Will does too. Mike is completely in love with Eleven. If that out of nowhere changed in order for Will to get what he wants, I'll be pissed.

Ever since Mike first met Eleven, we've seen there love story unfold. Why go through all of that transition if in the end, it was always going to be Mike and Will? Will can find someone else down the line. Mike and Will are great friends. Let's leave it at that.

I've never even gotten any vibes that Mike likes Will like that. It becomes apparent in the newest season where Will playfully touches Mike only for Mike to look at him for a second and walk away. He's completely oblivious to how Will feels.

That's how it sadly is with straight people just like my straight friend. She saw what she wanted to see and never could have suspected I had feelings for her because that's not what he wanted to notice about me. Same with Mike and Will. Mike doesn't suspect anything and he doesn't see him that way.

It's not the way Robin described her and Vickie where they felt those two-way instincts. Will is trying to force something between them but Mike isn't reciprocating. At the end of the day, Will can accept that Mike loves Will as a best friend and that's better than not having him in his life at all.

That Stranger Things 5 cliffhanger was everything!!!! (spoilers)

I'm still in total awe over the final scene. Will has powers!!! I was so proud of him! Here, I was afraid the cliffhanger was going to be Vecna making his villain speech and then blacking out there until we have to wait another month. But no. Instead, Will is no longer the victim. He's the superhero.

I'm so grateful the Duffer Brothers decided to go down this route. I was so worried that they were going to have Will succumb to a downfall considering every season has shown him dealing with tragedy after tragedy. But, it's nice to see that all of those struggles will pay off for him in the end. If anything, I would argue he might be stronger than Eleven as we've never seen her kill multiple Demigorgons at once.

I've got to say that my favorite part of Will's journey has been his friendship with Robin. I love that she's like a role model to him. As Robin has dealt with unrequited love before, Will can look up to her and know that even if he doesn't end up with his crush, it doesn't mean there's no hope for him. Just like how Robin found love through Vickie. I also love that every time Robin speaks to Will, he just hangs onto her every word. It's an unexpected friendship, but one that really means so much.

Robin's speech towards the end truly did make an impact on Will. It taught him that knowing who you are through someone else isn't the way to go. It's about loving yourself and accepting that love is all around you. He really is an LGBT+ hero that people can look up to in that knowing your true self and accepting it can be anyone's superpower.

Anyone realized that Halloweentown hardly has a prescence in the Halloweentown movies?

Really, the only time we really got to explore Halloweentown was in the first movie, which I loved. It made me wish I lived there.

But then in the second movie, they made Halloweentown look small and boring. And it was too consumed by Kal's spell.

In the third one, it was just the residents of Halloweentown venturing in the mortal world. But not once did we venture into it.

And sure, Witch U in the fourth movie was located in Halloweentown, but the story mostly took place in the college. Plus, I think we can all agree that movie shouldn't have existed.

I don't know if it's because Disney Channel no longer had the budget for this big sets anymore or what. I just found it interesting that for a film series called Halloweentown, the town is hardly there.

In the Dark really should have only been one season (no spoilers)

Its first season was interesting to see Murphy's childhood background of losing her sight to her adult life living with it. And I liked the murder/mystery plot of it. But then when they revealed the killer at the end, it's almost like they wanted to keep the show going but they didn't know how.

At least in terms of the murder/mystery plot, we can see how Murphy's other senses helped. But once they went into the whole money laundering thing, I was getting really bored. It's like in future seasons, her blindness had nothing to do with the plot. Basically just her being taken around.

With the character of Murphy basically hating everything and everyone, I'm not finding too much heart in her. Even with her friends, she acts like she has better places to be. But she really doesn't. I get being blind sucks, but if that really shapes the character to go on hating life and being so negative, then why would that be entertaining for the audience to watch?

And the actress playing Murphy is decent, but there's still times when she gives so much eye movement for someone who's supposed to be blind.

I may have started season three, but I'm honestly going to say goodbye.

I still don't understand the hype with Sinners

It seems like all of these celebrities are saying it's their favorite movie of the year and I don't get it. I wanted to see a vampire movie and that didn't happen until over an hour and a half going in. Just a lot of graphic sex scenes and the poignant scene of how jazz music is important in Black culture. Which would have been a great scene if it was in another movie like Soul. But not a movie that's meant to be horror. I just don't get the hype at all.

Anyone else feel like Emma Stone was playing herself when she was playing Gwen Stacy?

I felt like I was watching Olive from Easy A, her House Bunny character, and Zombieland all rolled up in one. Still saw her sarcasm and awkward persona instead of the character in the Sam Raimi comics. I honestly feel like the only time I saw Emma Stone completely transform was in Poor Things and that's about it.

In light of AI figure Tilly Norwood trying to make it as an actress...

I'm starting to get Pixel Perfect vibes

Anyone worried about the fate of Mike and Eleven?

After five seasons of buildup, hopefully the two are endgame by the final episode.

Anyone else think Mickey deserved better than Truman?

I mean, I get that trust being broken with Mickey being too quick to think the worst of her boyfriend. But, she had a lot of good theories why. And I'd like to believe he'd do the same thing if the situation was in reverse. Plus, we'll all human capable of mistakes. I'd like to believe Mickey would have learned from that one if Truman gave her a chance.

This is how I thought the Zoey 101 finale was going to look like...

I feel insulted by any computer...

Where the Kristen Stewart movie love triangles really started...

Catch That Kid walked....

So that Twilight could run!

I loved seeing Christina Vidal return for Freakier Friday

I'm hoping she comes back for more projects. I remember when she had her own show Taina on Nickelodeon. She's really talented and looking more like Eva Longoria as she's getting older.

If Hulu and Disney+ merge...

Does that mean you can log into the Disney+ app with your Hulu credentials? Will anyone with a Hulu subscription now automatically get Disney+ content? Will the subscription price go up now?

New trailer for Peacock's The Paper

Oh yeah, there's Oscar!

One thing I just realized about George and Mandy's First Marriage

I think I have a feeling why the two break up. In basically every other episode, Mandy keeps reminding everyone the reason she's even with him is because he was a teen who lied about his age and knocked her up. It's obvious she never let go of the fact that he kinda trapped her into all of this.

The whole relationship when you think about it is wrong that she married a teen even if he did knock her up. She always mentions all the time how immature he is and whatnot. And defending his age when people confront her about it even though she knows they're right.

Maybe they'll break up and reconnect when they're older.

Thoughts?
