Welcome to Litsy!

Wow. Her dad is an ass.

Casey‘s helping me dig into a full-series SKIP BEAT! reread ahead of Volume 50‘s English-language release. Everyone‘s grown so much since these early days. MY BABIES. 😭😭😭

A wryly funny, complex, and lovable queer cast of characters ground this ambitious and engaging exploration of how humans respond to the unknown and to the crucible of social media celebrity—ultimately resonating deeply as a celebration of curiosity, found family, and online community. Recommended for fans of Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow!

I‘m on a big biography kick right now, clearly. This was a really interesting read. I‘m really enjoying being able to hear things put in the words of the people who were the most effected. It was a bit distressing to hear how thoroughly the tv industry failed the Dugger kids, long past when they could reasonably be called kids, and in new and wild ways from how it fails most child actors.

I remember when this show first premiered introducing the Duggar‘s. I was immediately intrigued by this large family and their way of living. As years passed and that initial documentary blew up into a full series, I watched in curiosity to see how these children would grow up, date, and navigate adulthood. I never realized how strict their upbringing really was. This was a very insightful look into their lives but also quite disturbing.

28 out of 100. That includes a few movies I've only seen part of, but I need to pad my numbers somehow. 😀

Three faves:

🎬 I'm not sure how anyone could classify The Karate Kid as a thriller, but I watched it so many times as a kid that I have it memorized beginning to end.
🎬 The Hustler
🎬 The Postman Always Rings Twice

She did a great job telling her story & I totally feel for her. We‘ve dealt with quite a similar situation (in regards to how they dress) with my husbands family - just not in the public eye. My husband wore shorts for the 1st time in his life this year - he‘s 33. When I graduated nursing school 8 years ago I wore scrubs & was chastised so badly by his family. I still wear skirts to this day.
