🩷 Krista: Phantasma by Kaylie Smith

💛 Becca: Moonlit Temptation by Sarah E. Green & (on audio) Exodus by Kate Stewart

We're still reading the same books. We've been focused on writing, so not a lot of reading has been happening lately.

LAST MOVIE WATCHED

🩷 Krista: Dinner in America (2020) Rating: 10/10The First Omen (2024) Rating: 9/10Inside Out 2 (2024) Rating: 9/10

💛 Becca: Dinner in America (2020) Rating: 10/10 - an instant classic. Krista and I both said this likely ends up in our top five all-time favs. We've always loved Kyle Gallner. He's one of the few indie actors we followed growing up, and we'd tend to watch anything he was in. (Another would be Anton Yelchin, which still hurts our hearts knowing what happened to him.)Labyrinth (1986) (rewatch) Rating: 9/10 - Upon a rewatch, I actually loved this movie even more! I paid a lot more attention to the puppetry, and it's just amazing how it was executed and how much emotion they gave to the puppets through the movements.

shi luvs st.cobalt

YAY! I love these update posts! :) 𝐌𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐬: I’ve been seeing **a lot** of posts on TikTok about “Dinner in America”! I’m so glad that you both enjoyed it! I’ll have to add it to my list now! :) I’ve also seen some posts about a movie called “National Anthem” floating around recently (it’s about queer rodeo performers) and I hope to watch that one soon as well! 🤎🤎 I **finally** got around to watching “Challengers” the other week and I’m obsessed! It was so good! :) 𝐓𝐕 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐰𝐬: Gosh, “9-1-1”…the first two episodes of this season have been **phenomenal** in my opinion! I think this is my favorite opening emergency since the tsunami! I’m obsessed with everything about this season so far, I can’t wait for the third episode to see how everything concludes! I’m not sure if you’re keeping up with this season of “The Challenge” (I’m two episodes behind, I think) but I’m so over all of the Laurel stuff…:( I’m glad other challengers are speaking up about her behavior this season and I hope she’s not invited back anytime soon… 𝐒𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐬: I **love** The Last Dinner Party! I’ve been getting into them for the past couple of months and I love their sound so much! :) Other Things That I’ve Been Listening To: • “Vertigo” by Griff. • “Fake Out” by Fall Out Boy. • “Slipfast” by Role Model. • “See you Soon” by Beabadoobee. • “Perfume” + Kiss Me Again” by Pale Waves. I hope you feel better soon, Becca!! (🫂) I’m sending good, healing, vibes your wayy! (✨🦄) I hope finalizing wedding details goes smoothly, Krista! I’m sending good + positive planning vibes your way! (✨👰‍♀️) 🤎🤎🤎

Abby (Eliot’s version)

I’m about to binge Buffy too, Becca!! Always do in October cause it makes me happy and gives spooky vibes for the month!! The Halloween episode in season 2? *chef’s kiss* the perfect episode for the holiday, hands-down 🎃😍 Also, sending good thoughts and vibes you feel better soon!!! October always brings the illnesses so I hope you get over the ickiness quickly!!

alyssa ✨

I’ve had the phrase “What’s the haps?!” In my head on repeat since the first post & I’ve come to realize it sounds so familiar because Lorelai says it in Gilmore Girls, & that’s how I’m hearing it in my head 😂

Abby (Eliot’s version)

Also, are the songs you two are binging indicative of what you’re writing? Or more of an outside of writing thing? Just curious 🥰

Andrea

BECCA YOURE FINALLY WATCHING BUFFY IM SO HAPPY!! Tell me what you think of the seasons and characters please I love the show so much 🤍 I need to know if Buffy is your favorite character.

Andrea

I’m keeping my promise too and watching Angel! It took me a little bit to get used to it but I’m on s3 and am really enjoying it. I’m surprised how much I love the character Angel, he’s so broody in Buffy but here they finally give him a personality 😂 he’s sweeter and funnier in his own show. And Cordy too, love her but I loved her in Buffy too

Andrea

Sorry anytime I see 9-1-1 I’m compelled to comment. This is 100% the best opening since tsunami! Tsunami will always be #1 for me (nothing will ever beat it in my eyes 😭) but this is definitely in the top 3 and it might even take the #2 spot depending on the third episode. The little boy helping land the plane has my heart 🥺

Abigail

Omg 9-1-1 and 9-1-1 lone star!! I’m so happy they are back!!

Miranda

I recently started watching Buffy & I love it so far! I need to catch up on Marvel shows I’m so behind

Arrow

!!! I did now know The First Omen was streaming yet. This is definitely my next horror watch.

Abby (Eliot’s version)

Some songs that have been on my mind the last couple days and wanted to share! Redemption - The Strange Familiar Never Let Me Go - Florence and the Machine I Miss You - Incubus Lights (The Secret Sessions) - Written by Wolves (totally a Cobalt song - his brothers to Ben) All That Really Matters (Stripped Version) - Illenium and Teddy Swims Fix Me (Alternate Take) - 10 Years I Found - Amber Run Wildfire - Seafret This Love - The Veronicas

Angelina (Charlies version) ♟️

Omc Krista!! I loveeeeeee inside out 2 soo much!! And I started watching 9-1-1 lonestar because of how much shi and Becca loved it and I'm reporting that I'm also in love with the show I adore it!! TK and Carlos relationship reminds me of Marrow so much and I love it also the representation of Marjan 🥰🥰 so few shows have arab characters so that made me soooo happy (bc seeing myself is so fun!!) Good luck on finalizing wedding details Krista!! Also baked banana nut muffins sound delicious and I hope you feel better!! 🥰💗

Morgan and Maria

Nothing Matters by the last dinner party has also dropped into my radar this week thanks to the sims😂

shi luvs st.cobalt

Omg don’t apologize! I’m always happy to discuss “9-1-1”! 🥹🤎 I think the Tsunami will always be number one for me as well! That opening arc was so phenomenal, words can’t even begin to describe the love that I have for those opening episodes! 🤎🤎 Jem was such a superstar in the last episode! He deserves all of the accolades + medals + scholarships (lol) for saving the day! 🥹🤎 I’m so excited for the next episode! That shot of Bobby on top of the fire truck in the preview is just *chef’s kiss*! Thursday needs to come sooner! 😭

Andrea

BOBBY ON THE TRUCK I got chills when I saw it in the trailer. And I love this parallel of buck stealing a fire truck and then Bobby stealing one like that’s a full circle moment. Idk how deep in the fandom you are but they have been keeping the plots of the episodes completely secret compared to previous years, which makes me excited but scared! Like the plane landing has to be early in the ep and then everything else is a mystery 😭 I’m so excited

Andrea

Also I’m so thankful I didn’t watch the tsunami episodes live, just watching them on streaming made me sick, those cliffhangers in eps 1 & 2 are brutal lmao

Jess

I had higher hopes for Phantasma

shi luvs st.cobalt

YES! It’s such an incredible parallel! :) I have seen that the set has been closed off for a while, which I think is interestingggg (👀). I need to know what they’re keeping under wraps! I follow a lot of “9-1-1” creators on TikTok to ensure that I stay in the know with all of the happenings + developments (Sam @samanthaemacke, Amanda @abnormalamanda_18, Bex @lesbianeddiediaz, SJ @sj118_, etc.) and it’s been fun to see their theories about this season! :) I’m also grateful that I’ve been able to binge a lot of the show! I’m horrible with cliffhangers, the wait between episodes can feel like one month instead of one week (I’m already dreading reaching the midseason finale portion of this season 😭).

Andrea

I love SJs videos they’re so fun 😭 and yeah they closed down the set after 8x03, we don’t know ANYTHING about the episodes that follow…. which could mean nothing 👀

Dana Hasan

Do you have goodreads or anyway you can review book ? I would love to know what you thought about the book you read )also on the fence about reading Phantasma)

shi luvs st.cobalt

Between the set being closed down and the interviews from Tim + Oliver (if I’m not mistaken) discussing episodes 5 and 6, I **need** these next couple of weeks to go by quickly…I want to be in the know lol! Buddie canon is in the air, I can feel it 🔮 !!

Andrea

I have a tiktok for 9-1-1 too (my obsession is so bad I swear) and I did a video on how excited I am about episodes 5 & 6 based on what Tim, oliver, and Ryan have said 😅 all 3 of them of the have hyped those episodes up so much what am I supposed to think if not buddie canon AND episode 6 is on Halloween I think. I love a Halloween episode 😂

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Oooh I'll have to check out National Anthem! That sounds so good!! Yay for the Challengers!! I still love that movie so much. I'm caught up on The Challenge, and I 100% agree with you. The Laurel stuff has tainted this season. It's just been so exhausting to watch, and it's more infuriating and not as fun of a season as I thought it'd be. I love Cara's comeback though. I think the time off has done her so much good mentally. She seems much more positive and happy. Taking notes with your song recs!!

Krista & Becca Ritchie

@Andrea, @Shi, unpopular opinion, but I'd be happy if it was just Buck x Tommy. I've always loved the idea of Buddie since Eddie was introduced and it def felt like they were teasing it the whole time, but I sort of gave up that idea and I feel much more invested in the new romance now. I think I'm trying to protect my heart from disappointment, bc they have teased us so much. There's more chances they won't do it than they will, so I just want to be happy rooting for a romance that exists, if that makes sense.

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Ooooh now my goal is to make it to Season 2 before the end of October for the Halloween feels!

Krista & Becca Ritchie

What's the haps? Ah I loveeee!! It feels like Lorelai season too now that the leaves are changing to crispy orange!

Krista & Becca Ritchie

I'm still on season one, but so far I absolutely LOVE Buffy! Her personality is not what I thought it'd be at all. For some reason, I thought she'd be less snarky and less posh? (like she's very trendy dressed and popular-esque, where I thought she'd be more of an outcast/loner type). Her character is so much more original in a way, especially given her backstory because she could've come in as a broody loner. But she is kinda angsty but in a much different way. Idk how to explain it very well, but I'm loving her. Ahhh I love that you're watching Angel!! When he popped up in the first episode, I squealed! I love him so much!! And I loveeee Cordelia. It's so fun seeing all the characters I recognize but seeing their origin story.

Krista & Becca Ritchie

I'm also a bit behind on some Marvel shows as well. I need to finish Loki season 2, but luckily, you really only need to watch WandaVision to understand Agatha.

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Yesss the TK/Carlos relationship gives some Marrow vibes for sure!! And Marjan is one of my absolute favs. I love all of her storylines. There's one episode that focuses a lot on her, and it's prob one of my top 5 episodes of the whole series.

Krista & Becca Ritchie

SAME! I knew of it before, but I totally forgot about it until the Sims4 trailer 😂 And I was like, "damn that song is good" and got hooked again 😂😂 ~ B

Krista & Becca Ritchie

We have Goodreads but we don't really review books there. After we finish a book, we might do a little "we recommend this if you like these tropes or things" kind of review in the Happenings section if it'd interest y'all 🩷

Morgan and Maria

My thoughts exactly😂 I thought it was just a funny coincidence but that’s hilarious it’s both because of the sims - Morgan

Andrea

Yess I love Buffy bc she’s a badass with this big secret and it would have been so easy to make her a loner or angry at the world. But she’s really such a girly girl and someone who does think about school, crushes, and fashion like most teen girls. She’s extremely relatable in some ways while also being the chosen one, I’m obsessed with her. I always say Buffy is the one show where the main character is my favorite character. So many times a side character will swoop in and steal my love but not for me in this show.

Andrea

Seasons two and three are some of the greatest tv ever, I can’t wait for you to get there 🤍

Abby (Eliot’s version)

Yay!! I’m excited for some Rocky and Phoebe vibes to hold me over until April 😍🌸🖤

Abby (Eliot’s version)

That episode is early in Season 2 so you’ll be ok if you don’t get far lol… it also helps that season one is like 12 episodes since it premiered mid season in March! I hope you enjoy the show Becca!!!

Abby (Eliot’s version)

My mind constantly whirls around your characters when I’m listening to music, seeing if I can find one that fits them or what I feel like could be them in their books for my playlists! Makes me infinitely happy when I find one that matches lyrically 🥰 but then I’m like will this match the tone of the characters and couples I don’t know yet?! Doesn’t stop me from adding it but it always heightens my anticipation ❤️💚💙

Andrea

I do get where you’re coming from, Becca! They were supposed to go canon years ago but Fox scrapped it (which is why you feel you were baited, you 100% were, we all were 💔). So I get wanting to keep your expectations low and just root for the current LI. For me personally any other romance for Buck and Eddie would be so dissatisfying. I believe they’re soulmates basically, so I can’t root for anyone else 😂 also I don’t really like Tommy, idk his character in S2 was terrible and I always just remember that when he shows up now lol

Abby (Eliot’s version)

OMC seasons 2 and 3 are my most watched seasons cause they’re amazing!!! I fell in love with the show during season one but it was cemented as one of my favorite shows ever in seasons 2 and 3 😍

Andrea

2, 3, and 5 are perfect in my mind. So, so good. I think s3 has the slightly better plot, but s2 is more emotional so it just depends on what you like more. And then s5 is the perfect mix of both for me.

Abby (Eliot’s version)

Agreed Andrea!! The adventures of Buffy and the Scooby Gang never fails to make my heart so so happy!! Give me good emotion and a great plot any day and I’m hooked but there was something about Buffy that was just above the rest… I remember watching it when it premiered and just being hooked from the first episode! Waiting week to week and then over summer during hiatus was soooo hard but always worth it when it’d come back! Loving my rewatch right now so much!! 🖤

shi luvs st.cobalt

I’m loving Cara’s comeback as well! :) She’s been the saving grace for me this season! She’s the only thing that’s really keeping me tuned in now that CT is gone (🥲). I see where you’re coming from with the Buddie feelings! I grew up on Tumblr and remember getting catfished / baited by ship gifsets back in the day (I’d start a show only to realize that the couple wasn’t together, it hurt each and every time 🥲), so I 100% understand you being hesitant to reinvest your hopes + heart into something that might never come to fruition! I’m in the same boat as Andrea regarding Tommy’s character (🥲). I wasn’t a fan of the “closet” pun that he made in front of Eddie + Marisol during his first date with Buck and I also disliked the “daddy issues” quip that was said during the finale last season (I’m aware that that’s all a matter of personal preference, though, and I’m likely being too sensitive about these things). If Buck’s LI was a character that wasn’t tainted for me, I do think that I *might’ve* been able to get behind them more. When it comes to Eddie, though, everyone falls short for me when compared to Buck. I think about Eddie’s Will a little too often (I **need** it to be brought up again at some point) and I do feel as though the writers backed themselves into a little bit of a corner with that specific plot point if Eddie ends up with someone else? I’m going to stop my rambles now lol, but I am glad that you’re enjoying Buck + Tommy’s romance! It’s always fun when you enjoy a new romantic route that a show is taking! :) 🤎🤎🤎

shi luvs st.cobalt

Omg Andrea! You have a “9-1-1” TikTok?!?! What’s your username, I’ll follow you (only if you’re comfortable with it, of course)! 🤎🤎 I’m also super excited for a potential Halloween episode! I love themed episodes **so much**! I hope we get a lot of fun calls during it! 🎃🎃

Andrea

Shi we’re the same person regarding our Tommy and Eddie opinions I love that!! And sure it’s @/confusedbuckley I started it bc I post all the 9-1-1 edits I make there and recently I started reacting to stuff (like the ep 5&6 stuff and I have another one) if you do follow dm there so I can follow back 🤍

shi luvs st.cobalt

I just followed you! I **love** all of the edits! 🥹🤎

Krista & Becca Ritchie

I already feel that about Buffy! I tend to fall in love with the side characters more, too, but Buffy really is such a compelling character and she kinda steals the show in the best way!

Arrow

I love this show so much! And Marjan is an awesome character!

Angelina (Charlies version) ♟️

I love seeing Marrow in them it brings me so much joy HAHA I'm like my beloveds hello!! I LOVE MARJAN SO MUCH I love how they didnt fit her into a stereotype like its the best I can't even explain how happy the portrayal of her character makes me 🫠

Angelina (Charlies version) ♟️

Bro I've not read the rest of the comments cause spoilers I'm only on season 3 of the show lol BUT I wanted to say I LOVE TSUNAMIS and that sounds weird I know but I've had a fascination with them ever since I had to do a school project about the boxing day tsunami lol so HEARING THIS IS SO GREAT I can't wait to get there 🥰

shi luvs st.cobalt

You’re watching “9-1-1: Lone Star” right now right, Angelina? 👀 If so, I’m sorry to say that there’s no tsunami disaster in Lone Star, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 there is one in “9-1-1” (just the regular “9-1-1”, not “9-1-1”: Lone Star”)! 🤎🤎

Arrow

We just finished 9-1-1 and 9-1-1: Lonestar & I cannot believe how invested in these shows I have become. I love these characters with my whole heart!

shi luvs st.cobalt

I’m so glad you enjoyed the shows! The “9-1-1” franchise is incredible! :’) I’m excited to see where the potential third installation in the franchise will be set! I hope that it airs on ABC so that more series crossovers are possible in the future (I loved the crossover episode in “Lone Star”)! :) I also started watching “9-1-1: Lone Star” again! I’m hoping to be caught up soon! Fingers crossed! 🤎🤎

Angelina (Charlies version) ♟️

Oh I'm a little dumb my bad HAHAHAHA yeah I am watching 9-1-1 lonestar not 9-1-1 BUT it sounds great and I will watch it!! Because TSUNAMIS!! 🫠

shi luvs st.cobalt

Omg no you’re not “dumb”, Angelina! It’s an easy mistake to make! Both shows have “9-1-1” in the title and both have been discussed on here a ton, it’s easy to get them criss crossed if you’re new to them! 🫂🫂 !! 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗕𝗲𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝘄𝗼 𝗼𝗳 “𝟵-𝟭-𝟭: 𝗟𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿” !! • • • • • You mentioned that you’re on season three of “9-1-1: Lone Star”, right? If so, then that means that you’ve already met some of the cast from the other “9-1-1” (which is exciting)! :) They were in the third episode of season two, the 118 group who arrive to help out with the wildfire! If their characters interested you at all, then I recommend watching “9-1-1” (or even if they didn’t, I still recommend it anyways lol)! 🤎🤎
