I….may not have even started it yet. I’m sorry! I’m like you, anon! In the sense that I have such expectations for it, anyway. I just can’t bring myself to even read it. Either it’s going to be great and I’ll no longer be able to take it in for the first time or it’s not going to live up to those expectations.
I actually got it a while back, a couple of weeks before I got sick, and that was the middle of Ramadan so I was like, I can’t read this now, I won’t be able to SAVOR it as it should be. I need everything perfect! I figured as long as I was able to post a review some time in August, it’d be fine. And then of course after Ramadan ended I did start feeling not great. Again, I couldn’t read THIS book under those conditions (though I finished a few others).
But…I think now is the time. Partly because it’s almost August and partly because I ordered this box on Illumicrate (from whom I also got a signed version of Priory) so I need to figure out quicklike if I like it or not. I mean, on the strength of those first 8 chapters, it will have to really waste the setup and author’s skill to be disappointing enough where I don’t want it at all. But what if it doesn’t stick the landing or something? I dunno. I will let you know how I like it!
Hey, anon, thanks for checking in. I do think I am doing better! Still not 100% and the new meds I started keep me pretty tired but a lot of the routine pain is gone. I’m slowly getting back in the TV watching and giffing groove. Currently trying to decide which of these to gif first: Grand Hotel, Shortland Street, Ambitions, Search: WWW, or Dead End. And then I’ll end up doing a trailer for something else completely, heh.
Also trying to get some book posts done soon, I hope. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend everything I’ve finished reading, but there were a few good ones in there I’ll do giveaways for. And Gideon the Ninth approaches! Guess who might have gotten an ARC~~~~
Thank you! This experience has already been so remarkable but this movie and series on the back of its f/f couple is just unprecedented. Especially when apparently the m/m spinoff of the other recent telenovela had started airing a little before, to low ratings? So you’d have almost understood if they decided to not go for a f/f project.
I’m so sorry for how long it’s taken me to reply to this, I do have a list here, but at this point, I would probably recommend just two sources:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVdq4TJwt23ZFRJC8jxL7_A/community – zeroty’s longer compilations. zeroty originally started putting up short, individual scenes from when Juliantina met as the show was airing and by the time it finished, there was a playlist of 300+ clips but you’ll probably find it more convenient to just watch the bigger chunks linked here.
And another anon:
Just want to say it’s thanks to bbcitas like you who helped make all this happen! Bringing Juliantina around the world — all my love from NYC
Aww, anon, this has been so validating and satisfying. Thank you!
Their efforts saw them recognized as two of TIME’s 100 most influential people:
In an interview with Fareed Zakaria of CNN, the duo opened up about being in a relationship with each other. They further expressed that the 2018 win was not only a professional achievement, but also a personal win.
I reckon so, living like they did and as you said, at no point was she ever like, I want to talk to my Texas friends or at least tell them I’m okay. It seemed a lonely, isolated life for our Juls. And then, tbh, despite their very endearing and earnest efforts at it, she and Val seemed to have not much idea how to handle friendship, jumping into a very intimate and deep relationship like immediately.
Ah, anon, I have no excuse for why I’m answering this so late, I could’ve answered it on the app any day, so…I’m sorry.
No problem! I’m glad it lived up to the hype for you! I wish I had others to recommend like it but honestly, it’s been a bit tough finding something with all the ingredients that made Priory so good.
