Things to smile about

[philstar22]

What things in the past few weeks have made you smile? What has brought even a tiny little bit of joy to your life?

Work. I work with toddlers and even on the most chaotic stressful day there will be multiple times where they make me smile or laugh out loud. They're just the best.

I was unsure about participating in Secret Santa at my new workplace but my gift was actually something I'd like and use.

The smile on mum's face when I presented her with a signet ring to replace the one from her youth that she'd lost (that one had her maiden initial on it rather than her married one). After the shit that's happened to us this year, it's a gift to be able to give her something to smile about.

One of my foster kittens is OBSESSED with watching me play video games on my PC. She just sits and supervises (and occasionally slaps).

Reminds me that my cats (former rescue kittens) love watching me game as well.

A cool but sunny spring and early summer. May this weather continue.

I'm a bit sorry to say one of them was seeing Jake Paul and Andrew Tate getting seven shades beaten out of them.

Seriously, though? There's some cat rescue streams I watch and there is an especially adorable kitten named Grinch on one of them.

I wouldn't even be sorry about that, I thought them getting their asses handed to them was hilarious.

I'm home from work and my kitty cat is sitting in my lap. I took a walk today and am working on my health. I feel good.

I've been sick lately and left a few entirely discombobulated tiny comments on a fic I really like, and the author responded to pretty much each and every one! They responded in the kindest and most engaging way possible, probably the nicest replies I've ever had. It totally made my week a hundred times better.

Unexpected likes/dislikes

What's the last thing you read/watched/played/listened to that you thought you'd like but ended up disliking?

What about something you thought you'd dislike but ended up liking?

Automatic Noodle by Annalee Newitz

I saw it recced all over the place and people saying how cozy and found family and lovely it was, but I just finished it and was left pretty empty. It never really came together for me and then it just kind of ended. Idk, maybe my expectations were too high or maybe I just don't mesh with the author's style but it was a pretty unexpected dislike. Robots and personhood and found family are usually a win for me, but not this time.

all of my favorite bands have been putting out new singles in the last 2 months but all of them have been just meh. I got super excited that the Echoing Green is doing new music and even shows again!! but the first new single is just. okay. /shrug. I want to still love them but it's so meh. but so are the new tracks from Gunship, Celldweller, Fury Weekend, Carpenter Brut...they're all so uninteresting compared to the songs that made me fall in love with their music.

Re: Unexpected likes/dislikes

Same. My favourite musician was always on the fairly chill indie music train but lately, all he puts out is this bland sound carpeting that just ...exists. its just overall blah and not what made me love his music, more like a pale echo of it.

>>What's the last thing you read/watched/played/listened to that you thought you'd like but ended up disliking?
Wake up Dead Man, the last Knives Out movie. Maaaan, than movie is so boring, predictable and useless it greatly irritated me. I enjoyed the other 2 movies and was looking forward to it, but in the end this last instalment ended up ruining my saturday night. I'm baffled by the positive reviews.

>>What about something you thought you'd dislike but ended up liking?
The first part of the new season of Stranger Things! I kind of hate watched the last two seasons and didn't even want to watch season 5, but decided to give it a go because my sisters want to have a watch part for the last episode. Incredibly enough I ended up quite liking the first 4 episodes! I skipped a little bit (something I usually never do with other series, but did a lot with the last ST season) and was a little bit bored in some scenes and incredibly frustrated for some characters/plot decisions, but in the end I had fun and can't wait for the next episode.
Biggest media surprise of the year for me, for sure.

Man, I thought Dead Man was way better than the second one! I loved it.

Re: Unexpected likes/dislikes

I thought I'd love Sinners since I love the director and actors. My dislike of vampires is too strong unfortunately.

Re: Unexpected likes/dislikes

I loved Sinners but I didn't love it because I love vampires, which I do! That got me to watch it, but it was a good story with a lot of layers.

The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

Heard lots of gushing about it, loved the idea, it does have beautiful vibes, but the vibes are kind of all it really has going for it. The plot is extremely thin and the characters aren't very compelling or well-developed. It turns out I need a little more than great vibes to enjoy a story.

I thought I'd like Where Winds Meet because damn, finally a Chinese Wuxia game that made it out of containment. But I can't even say if I actively like playing it because I really want to start over with a new character and the game doesn't have the most basic function of deleting your damn character to start over. And I hate it. And it annoys me because I really wanted to start playing proper over Christmas and now I'm blocked by my own damn first character attempt.

Unfortunately the second season on Peacemaker. I'm only a couple episodes in, and it was weeks ago that I started watching. I don't necessarily dislike it that badly, but the first season was so shockingly brilliant. The comedy, line delivery, storyline, everything, was so fantastic that the second season seems like a completely different show. It's average overall so far, but comparatively it falls unbelievably flat.
Personally, I feel they weren't expecting the show to be so popular, but now that it passed some superficial high bar, it now has to live as part of the multiverse. They're desperately trying to repeat what peaked in the last season but they aren't exactly sure what it was that made it so good, and obviously now it needs a focal romance because now that the moneymakers are paying attention to it having the main girl and guy not have a will they or won't they bullshit relationship is just about essential.

Thought I wouldn't like but liked: Cobra Kai seasons 4-6

I stopped watching the show because I didn't like seasons 2 and 3 very much. While gift wrapping, I decided to try to finish watching Cobra Kai so I can tick a show off my "To Finish" list. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the show. Guess in the later seasons the show was able to balance out the tone and humor.
