Carry On, Supernatural

By Julie Failde August 30, 2019

Supernatural is finally coming to end after 15 long seasons of pure and amazing butt-kicking brothers. I have followed the show since I was a kid and remember when Sam and Dean would hunt ghosts in season one, airing after the original Charmed.

However, it wasn’t until five or six years ago that I got hooked. I binge watched all nine (that was how many were out at the time) seasons of Supernatural on Netflix. It was a wild ride, one that I loved. Dean was my fandom boyfriend for the longest time.

Must Listen Podcasts: And That’s Why We Drink

By Julie Failde August 15, 2019

I love everything and anything horror. It’s my favorite genre of basically all media. Movies, TV shows, books, comics. You name it. But a few months ago, I discovered this obsession also included podcasts.

Sartorial Geek Fashion Fix: Hera Syndulla

By Julie Failde July 26, 2019

For week three of the Fashion Fix challenge, I had a ton of ideas for different characters I wanted to try to embody. Complex female characters are kind of my thing, and happen to be this week’s theme. I thought about nerdy Velma from Scooby Doo. Julia Wicker from The Magicians (which I just finished binge watching and am now going through withdrawals). And finally, one of my favorite TV latinas, Rosa Diaz from Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

Sartorial Geek Fashion Fix: Nerd Prom & Sailor Scouts!

By Julie Failde July 7, 2019

It’s week 1 of the Sartorial Geek Fashion Fix Summer Challenge and I have been shaking with anticipation. So, this week’s theme is Nerd Prom. Due to the Spider-Man: Far From Home premiere, I originally wanted to make a Spider-Man look (which I’m still going to do so pics to come later!). However, I decided that the Sailor Scouts were something I’ve been itching for lately. And who better than the girls who fight evil by moonlight and win love by daylight?

Sidenote: I recently started rewatching one of my favorite old anime again, Inuyasha. It gives me such classic Sailor Moon vibes that I’ve decided to add that next!

Whisper of the Heart (Review)

By Julie Failde June 27, 2019

Being one of the few Studio Ghibli movies I hadn’t given a chance yet, I had been dying to see Whisper of the Heart. Yet based on the trailer, it’s really difficult to comprehend what the plot was going to be about. I couldn’t tell if it was going to be like Spirited Away, going off into a fantasy land. Or like Grave of the Fireflies, sad and about real life.

To my pleasure, Whisper of the Heart was both!

A Guide to WEBTOON

By Julie Failde June 11, 2019

Scrolling through socials you probably pass a billion ads. While most of us ignore and scroll past, some ads may or may not catch your attention, enticing you to buy that phone case or download that game. This was the case for me and LINE’s Webtoon.

Becoming Carol

By Julie Failde April 8, 2019

Step 1 to creating a look: Become Obsessed

It has been about a month now since Captain Marvel hit theaters, and I have increasingly grown to love this character more and more with each day. Everything from her awkward and witty humor to her very human finesse of always getting back up again. I felt like I easily saw myself in her, which hasn’t really happened with a super hero character on the big screen. Sure, I connect and relate. But there were moments that I felt like Carol WAS me.
