Frozen 2

chloechee084 — 2022-04-11 09:22:08 UTC

Frozen 2 is more than just another Disney movie. It is really deep and explores so many important themes and the lessons I learnt from it helped me get through challenges recently. Also Elsa is so cool and Sven talks and sings now and Olaf is maturing and Anna_and_Kristoff exists so why would you not watch Frozen 2?

Not sure if this is counted as a tv show but it’s a really nice kdrama

Sky Castle

2022-04-11 12:37:08 UTC

It’s about a hidden side of the education system while it is a curious look into the psychological minds of different characters trapped in one place. It is intriguing and I found it somewhat relatable to a certain degree, definitely less exaggerated. Still a good watch but contains quite a few rather disturbing scenes. As in murder and all that.

SEVEN HUSBANDS OF EVELYN HUGO

shattered my heart into a million tiny pieces

Animal Farm by George Orwell

2022-04-13 13:07:09 UTC

I read this at like 9 and i was traumatised no no I mean it impacted my life greatly. The story was very very intriguing and unique and the ending will leave your mouth hanging open I'm not kidding!! :O at least that's what happened to me at 9 years old so I'm honestly not sure if it's actually that impactful or I was just really young.
Either ways it's a classic you must read okay chefs kiss 🤌🏻🤌🏻

Surrounded by Idiots by Thomas Erikson

annikatan08 — 2022-04-13 13:16:15 UTC

Surrounded by Idiots (hopefully not an insult to humanity) is quite the bestseller and was first published in Swedish by Thomas Erikson. From an RGS student's perspective of having a love-hate relationship with group work, the way the author describes the dynamics of why some projects fail (and some don't) may get you thinking about how you can better communicate (and socialise) with others. There are sequels too... and this is not a fiction book.
ps. i know.. there's a typo in the picture which came from google.

The adam project. And red notice

2022-04-13 13:16:48 UTC

Ryan reynolds. Need i say more? The comedy in both movies is so amazing. Especially the chemistry between him and dwayne johnson in red notice.

The adam project is more of a sci-fi film. Pretty cute. The banter between the man character and his past self is so entertaining.

As for red notice, the whole thing is basically a heist. (For more heists, look for the oceans 11 and the other oceans movies, theyre pretty good) its got really fun twists and turns, sure to keep you hooked.

i have 2100 liked songs and you expect me to CHOOSE?

The Great War of Archimedes

2022-04-13 13:35:26 UTC

One of the best naval history films I've seen to date! It's like a concept film as to why the world's greatest battleship was built- lots of tension and anticipation, really keeps you on the edge of your seat. Plus, the emotions in this movie are so well crafted that its just unbelievable!

rock? anyone? it’s so underrated

2022-04-13 13:36:57 UTC

here’s the playlist if yall want; https://open.spotify.com/playlist/353vVW2nPKlh9PJQvvTQo3?si=659eeaecb0f14d67
(if anyone saw the domino reference, im proud)

the sharpest lives and famous last words, my chemical romance(most people only know welcome to the black parade. it’s so sad. yall are really sleeping on the sharpest lives, it’s so much better)

the great escape, boys like girls (upbeat and catchy, classic)

if im james dean, youre audrey hepburn, sleeping with sirens (lowkey metal, may be kind of jarring. i recommend that you start off with a low volume. lmao)

partners in crime, set it off (bonnie and clyde, but put into a song)

also by set it off, kill the lights. (amazing.)

what the hell, complicated, bite me, literally most avril lavigne’s songs (sis is an icon what else can i say)

two is better than one, boys like girls and TAYLOR SWIFT(romance type of song)

OMG WAIT. THESE ARE THE BEST;
check yes, juliet by we the kings

hey princess, allstar weekend (this and check yes, juliet are my favs)

better off dead, sleeping with sirens (classic emo vibes, amazingly relatable lyrics)

angel with a shotgun, the cab

good times, all time low (the perfect graduation song, fight me)

like we used to, a rocket to the moon
ever enough, also by them. these are pretty sad romance type

also another sad romance would be terrible things by mayday parade. that one is a whole story in the lyrics itself

these are all from fall out boy;
- thnks fr th mmrs (yes, it is spelled that way)
- sugar, were going down
- immortals
- centuries (this and immortals make me feel so powerful for absolutely no reason)
- last of the real ones
- my songs know what you did in the dark

and many others. but unfortunately i cant put so many down.
enjoy!!
:)

Such an amazing and heartwarming book which really encompasses the struggles of August, a boy with a different face compared to others. It highlights the discrimination in society due to use being afraid of what we do not wish to get close to, yet it also shows kindness and care through the people who don't simply judge a person by their looks. 10/10 recommend if yall havent read it yet :D

I don't know. They just sound good :)

tiffanyteo08 — 2022-04-13 13:40:53 UTC

1. Dynasty by MIIA
2. King by Lauren Aquilina
3. Love like you by Caleb Hyles
4. I hear a symphony by Cody Fry

ok i know im probably too old for this, but this book made me cry

2022-04-13 13:44:15 UTC

idkkk, it’s so sad ok. or at least it makes me sad for absolutely no reason. and the interior art is amazing ok. it’s too cute.

it’s essentially about a boy, trying to find out what “not lonely” is. and along the way, he makes friends with a penguin. the last line literally is (translated; a lot of times, i still feel lonely, but i’ve learned how to cope. BECAUSE I HAVE YOU.)

idk ok, it’s just so- idk. it’s so wonderful and sweet in a painful and overwhelming way.

the thief series by megan whalen turner

2022-04-13 23:16:08 UTC

i **guarantee** you will fall in love with the series it is EPIC. the worldbuilding is immaculate. character development incredible (i mean like UGH the antihero). romance? LOVELY (slow burn guys slow burn <3). political intrigue? everywhere. humour? off the charts (sarcastic/dry but very very funny). and the best part is the emotions are so well-explored and nuanced and realistic and everything.

oceans 11

2022-04-13 23:17:07 UTC

Raya and the last dragon

2022-04-15 11:38:34 UTC

This movie is the first South East Asian Disney movie. It’s about this girl called Raya going on an adventure to find a dragon called Sisu who transferred all her powers to a gem that is scattered over the kingdom Kumandra, dividing the people of the kingdom. It’s a really cool and fun movie to watch :D
