41. Fantastic Beasts (Vika)

So after multiple failed attempts at making plans to watch Fantastic Beasts with other people I finally decided to go watch it by myself because I've also always wanted to go watch a movie by myself, and I really didn't want to watch it with some of my friends who offered because they're just not big enough fans. So I ended up having to go with my brother. My younger, extremely annoying brother cause he wanted to go too and my parents made me take him. 

(This was on Saturday but I was too lazy to type this earlier and I also had a lot of French homework because my French B2 exam is next week and I hate studying for it because that's all I've been doing for six months and also I really want my speaking topic to be feminism or the effects of television on children because they are my fav topics and I can talk about them for ages and relate them to every movie ever, and my teacher hates that I manage to use a book/movie/TV example in literally everything lol but seriously though I had to wait a week to watch the movie cause I literally have no time these days THE LAST TIME I READ A FANFIC WAS PROBABLY THREE MONTHS AGO this is what my life is now this is so sad.)

And due to all the time he took to get dressed, I MISSED THE FIRST EIGHT MINUTES OF THE MOVIE. Eight entire minutes. And I was really pissed on the way, and it was just really annoying and my brother was really annoying and I really would have preferred watching it by myself, but whatever.

ANYWAYS. THE MOVIE IS BEAUTIFUL AND PERFECT AND ALL THAT IS RIGHT IN THIS WORLD. Pickett the Bowtruckle was the cutest thing ever! And they're all just so pretty. Especially the Occamies. And Frank! And Graves was creepy right from the start and I did not see that coming though. Johnny Depp as Grindelwald was really cool.

QUEENIE AND JACOB IS MY NEW POTTERVERSE OTP.

I love them. 

And Newt and Tina. 

Everything about that movie was brilliant. EDDIE REDMAYNE WAS BEAUTIFUL I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW PEOPLE DON'T LIKE HIM HE WAS AMAZING AS NEWT. And he was amazing in The Danish Girl too and The Theory of Everything is next on my to watch list and I don't know why I haven't watched it yet.

I loved every minute of the movie. It was beautiful and I creepily started crying at one point, because it was just so cute and I just missed everything about Harry Potter and you can reread the books, watch the movies, read fanfics, but none of it can compare to reading it for the first time or watching it for the first time.

And now I'm going to read fanfiction because I have like half an hour. Of nothing. Actually not nothing, I'm supposed to be studying and writing application essays and doing something with my life. THIS IS WHAT MY LIFE HAS BECOME. I just want to go back to writing chapters on how hot Jon Snow is and here I am pouring out my life problems to people on the internet because this is how bored I am with my life. And I look ill these days apparently. Every goddamn person I meet asks me if I'm ill. 

AND ALL I WANT IS TO READ FANFICS. HARRY POTTER FANFICS. GOT FANFICS. ANY FANFICS. I WANT TO GO BACK IN TIME TO WHEN I HAD NO WORRIES ABOUT MY LIFE AND CAREER AND UNIVERSITY CHOICES. 

I AM LOSING MY MIND. AND WEIGHT. BECAUSE OF TOO MUCH TENSION. 

FANTASTIC BEASTS. 

I FORGOT. 

But then again, would I be me if I didn't suddenly change my topic halfway through a chapter?

J.K.ROWLING IS BRILLIANT. 

And this was much better than The Cursed Child.

Much much better. 

I didn't hate the Cursed Child. I just had strong hopes for Albus and Scorpius none of which were realised. 

I SHIP ALBUS AND SCORPIUS SO MUCH.

And now I need to find ALbus/Scorpius fanfics.

Bye people.

(And Mad, write a chapter on Tom Hardy. People on the internet will be able to appreciate your love for Tom Hardy more than I can lol. <insert laughing emoji>)
