୨୧ so, this is me finally arriving ୨୧

a little corner of the internet, est. july2026 🕯️📮

❝There is no charm equal to tenderness of heart❞

— Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen

⋆✿ a little prelude

greetings ,

im millie (if we’re being formal, amelia).

i’ve been reading and writing stories for as long as i can remember, always dreaming of one day having a little corner of the internet to call my own. somewhere to leave my thoughts, my words, and all the little pieces of life i don’t want to forget.

i joined tumblr in late october of 2023, and ever since, i’ve been waiting for the right moment to finally make this place official. so, i suppose, this is me finally arriving.

i want this space to be something of a digital diary — a collection of thoughts, stories, late-night ramblings, movie reviews, playlists, photographs, and whatever else finds its way here. a place to talk about the films that stay with me long after the credits roll, the books i can’t stop thinking about, and all the little things that make life feel a little more beautiful. i’ll be sharing pieces of my life and the things i love over the coming months, hopefully on a daily basis.

somewhere between late-night playlists, far too many cups of coffee, unfinished stories, favourite films, and an entirely unreasonable number of fictional characters, this little corner of the internet became home.

so, if you’ve found your way here, welcome. i’m so glad you did. ♡

welcome to the department of digital correspondence

est. july 2026.

— a digital postbox for wandering thoughts, midnight questions, and letters from elsewhere.

⋆✿ before the page turns ..

a little warning that this account may occasionally go quiet while i disappear into the depths of schoolwork, deadlines, and the general chaos of being alive. i’ll always try my best to come back and ramble whenever i can — assuming life doesn’t eat me first.

and, perhaps, the only real rule around here: be kind. i’ll always try my hardest to make this little corner of the internet feel like a warm café on a rainy afternoon — somewhere you can wander into, stay awhile, share your thoughts, talk about the things you love, or simply sit quietly and feel at home. there’s always a seat for you here, and everyone is welcome to stay. ♡

❝ cinema is a matter of what’s in the frame and what’s out. ❞

on the screen 🎬

there’s something magical about movies — the way a few hours can transport you somewhere completely different, introduce you to characters who feel strangely familiar, or leave you thinking about a story long after the credits have finished. here, i’ll be sharing the films i’ve loved, the ones i’m still thinking about, and perhaps a few that didn’t quite live up to the hype. consider this my little corner of the cinema, where every film has a story to tell and every viewing leaves behind something new.

the odyssey - 21.07.26

love rosie - coming soon

devil wears prada - coming soon

and that brings us to the end of our little map — though, of course, there are always more paths to wander. take your time, follow whichever sign catches your eye, and remember: you’re always welcome to find your way back here. 🪷

౨ৎ my thoughts on the odyssey ౨ৎ

i went to see the odyssey on friday, and i genuinely really enjoyed it. there was so much that i loved about it, especially seeing such an iconic story brought to life on the big screen. i particularly loved the way circe was portrayed (i thought her character was really well done and definitely one of the highlights for me).

that being said, there were a few things i found myself wishing had been included or explored a little more. some important details from the original story were left out, such as the lotus-eaters, aeolus, the god of the winds, and, most importantly to me, the “nobody” scene with the cyclops.

the “nobody” scene is so much more than just a clever pun. odysseus’ plan to call himself “nobody” allows him to outsmart the cyclops and escape, but his pride means he cannot resist revealing his true identity afterwards. by telling the cyclops that he is odysseus, king of ithaca, he gives him the chance to call upon poseidon, which ultimately causes so many problems for the rest of his journey. i think this is such an important moment because the whole odyssey is filled with questions about identity and what makes odysseus who he is. he may be able to become “nobody” to survive, however, he refuses to let himself actually be forgotten. additionally, i also really missed the story of aeolus and the wind bag. after aeolus gives odysseus the winds needed to sail home, his crew open the bag while he is asleep, believing it contains treasure. the winds escape and blow them far away from ithaca once again. i think this would have been a great moment to include because it shows just how close odysseus repeatedly comes to getting home, only for something to go wrong. i also felt that scylla could have had a little more time on screen. her appearance felt quite sudden, and the way the men were taken happened so quickly that i wished there had been more time to build the tension and fear around her. however, i completely understand that adapting such a huge story means difficult choices have to be made about what can be included. despite these small criticisms, i am genuinely thankful to nolan for bringing the odyssey to the big screen and making an effort to keep it somewhat faithful to the original myth. seeing these characters and stories that i have studied come to life was incredibly exciting, and i really appreciate the care that has gone into creating the film.

overall, i really enjoyed the odyssey. there are definitely details from the original story that i wish had been included, but that doesn’t take away from how much i enjoyed watching it. if anything, it has made me appreciate the original myth even more — and i think that is one of the best things an adaptation can do.
