I can’t explain how I feel about the series finale of #GameofThrones. I’ve been watching this show introduce, develop, and kill off so many characters in George R. R. Martin’s seemingly impossible to complete series of books. I think what really irks me is that the showrunners, David Benioff and D. B. Weiss (I still love and admire them, btw), threw all that character development for Daenerys, Jamie Lannister, Brienne of Tarth, and so many others out of the window in the penultimate episode. I’ve never been more disappointed with the way it was handled, but I totally respect their decision to do it that way. They have full creative license to begin with. Anyway, back to the series finale. This whole eight year adventure was one hell of a ride. I won’t spoil anyone so I’ll just say that I have so many emotions surging through me. Ned will be proud. Long live the Starks!
I said it before, and I’ll say it again: Daenerys is not fit to sit on the Iron Throne. The penultimate episode of the series has shown how she has gone full circle. She is definitely the daughter of Aerys. Death to the Dragon Queen! Long live, Aegon Targaryen! #gameofthrones P.S. I def murdered Dany’s face here. Sorry, I’m really mad. LOL.
So guess what I was doing for the past couple of days while I was recovering from my illness. 🎮 At first, I was just going through my regular business playing #Pokemon Let’s Go Eevee, but that got a little boring after a while. Then I started going through my stuff and found old cartridges for Pokemon Moon and Pokemon X, so I decided to revisit those games. Only problem was I no longer have my 3DS XL. Luckily, I still have a very old (almost 6-year old) but very usable 2DS (in Poké Ball colours and also had a digital copy of Ultra Sun installed) which surprisingly handled the games amazingly. I guess completing my Pokedex will be enough to get me through until Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield come out later this year.⚡️#nerdalert lol

I don’t think I can take any more emotional blows. After seeing Endgame and #GameofThrones Season 8 Episode 3, also known as the Battle of Winterfell, I’m done. Also, my internet connection went haywire so I missed about 10 mins of the show. Anyway, here’s an appreciation post for #AryaStark, Defender of the Living. Can’t wait for what happens next!
Tony & Natasha. And Steve. And Thor. And Bruce. And Clint. Carol. Scott. Rocket. Nebula. Pepper. Gamora. Stephen. T’Challa. Peter. Hope. Valkyrie. Wanda. Groot. Sam. Bucky. Peter. Loki. Okoye. Wong. Mantis. Drax. Shuri. Happy. Peggy. Maria. Nick. Phil. Hank. Janet. Howard. The Ancient One. Pietro & Vision. And Stan. And the many, many lives that have populated this universe. I have so many emotions. See, I was 13 when I saw Iron Man in theatres. I’m 24 now. That puts so many things into perspective. The biggest one is that this franchise has been a huge part of my life. As much as #movies like The Godfather, Citizen Kane, and Casablanca inspired my love for #film and the art of making it, the #Marvel Cinematic Universe made me fall in love with adapted screenwriting. It takes tremendous talent to write original stories, but it takes guts and and creativity to adapt, dissect, and do justice to an already established medium. Avengers: #Endgame is more than your average blockbuster. It’s filmmaking at its finest. Thank you for the past decade of my life. Here’s to what the future holds. #Avengers, until we meet again. P.S. It’s been a while since I touched Photoshop. Please don’t be too harsh on my work. 😄
About a year with my @nativeunion Eclipse charging station and I still get excited whenever I double tap it. I’m all for tech that’s both form and function. Also, who’s ready for #AvengersEndgame tomorrow? I know I am! 😄 P.S. I’m going on a 24-hour social media and internet shutdown because some aholes are already spoiling Endgame. 🤬
I pre-ordered all these Rick Riordan Presents imprint #books so I pretty much got them when they launched, but I haven’t had the time to read any of them yet. Since the second book in the Aru Shah series is coming in about a month and since Sal & Gabi Break the Universe came out a few weeks ago, I decided to start reading them. So for the past four days, I’ve been immersed in different mythologies from Hindi to Mayan & Aztec to Korean and to Cuban. All these books are must-reads! They make learning about different cultures so much more enjoyable! 📚 #literature #bookstagram
My sister is the biggest blessing that we have ever received in our lives. A hug and a kiss from her always lifts my spirits up. Happy #WorldDownSyndromeDay! To all the people with Down Syndrome, always remember that you are special, you are amazing, and you are loved! ♥️ #DownSyndrome
