Story: 3/5
The story was decent. It was pretty messed up, but that was the point and it didn't feel gratuituous in my eyes. I felt sick when bad things happened to Kaley and Shannon, so I dreaded the parts when it cut to their time stuck with the traffickers. However, I wasn't as interested in the parts with Spencer, especially with the constant N-word bombs. Sure, he is mean to be a terrible psychopath, but hearing him say it constantly when in his POV was annoying. Granted, that's because the word makes me sick as a black person.
Characters: 3/5
The characters were fine, all things considered. The character I liked the most was Kaley. I enjoyed her powers and I liked how while she could be pretty cool, she also has her signs of weakness like being afarid. Despite my annoyance with the N-word bombs, I also liked Spencer. His psychopathy was pretty interesting, and I liked how despite him being void of empathy, he at least rescues the girls from their torment. My least favorite however was Shannon, not because of anything major but because she wasn't as interesting to me.
Overall: 3/5
The book was okay. It wasn't super special, but it was entertaining enough to keep me reading. Despite its length, I just couldn't stop reading the story. I do apologize for this review not being long. Though I read the book this year, it's only now that I'm actually writing a proper review on it.

[POISON FOR THE FAIRIES]
director:
Carlos Enrique Taboadas
genre:

year:

Story: 4/5
The story was pretty good. It's missing a star since it did drag on a bit, but the ending made it worth it. I liked Veronica and Flavia's growing toxic relationship. I liked how despite nothing supernatural going on outside of the girls' heads, the setting is still a bit creepy. I enjoyed the girls' antics and I liked the scene where Flavia gets twisted and burns Veronica in the barn.
Characters: 4/5
The characters were great. My favorite had to be Veronica. Even though she's bratty and annoying, I still feel for her. I mean, she not only lost her parents but is lonely at school until she meets Flavia. In fact, I even felt sad when Veronica started crying in the fire, begging Flavia to help her despite her toxic treatment of her throughout the entire movie. Flavia was fine, I liked her naivety in the film. This is pretty short of a section, since there's barely any other characters in the film.
Overall: 4/5
The movie was great. I recommend it if you can handle slow pacing and enjoy witchy themes. Still pouring one out for Veronica, even though you were a pest t_t.

[CUPHEAD]

Story: 5/5
I know Cuphead technically has a plot, but it's not that important for this style of game. The story it does have is good though, and it meshes well with the gameplay.
Characters: 5/5
Cute. I enjoy playing as Chalice the most.
Music: 5/5
The music is extremely good. Even if you don't like Cuphead, anyone with a functioning brain cell can acknowledge the sheer skill of the music in the game. My favorite tracks are High Sea Hijinks, Snow Cult Shuffle, Fiery Frolic, and One Hell of a Time.
Visuals: 5/5
The art in this game is absolutely stunning. The painted backgrounds make it feel like I'm a kid watching a cartoon on my TV.
Gameplay: 4/5
Why is this the only section that's not 5/5, you ask? It's because of the RNG of Rumor Honeybottoms and Cala Maria, big fat middle fingers to both of them in that regard, -_-.
And also I HOPE YOU DIE TENFOLD DR. KAHL FOR MAKING THAT DAMN ROBOT.
Overall: 5/5
If you're cool with suffering for hours as you listen to banger tracks, this might be the game for you.
