christmas day (and a christmas carol)

Sat, 25th Dec 2021 - 3:18pm

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate!! last night (or rather early this morning) I had a cute small interaction with the first blog I ever followed here on tumblr years ago and was so starstruck I didn't sleep for an hour lol. this is kinda silly but i'd like to think it was the worlds little christmas present to me, cheering me up in these crappy times. since i don't celebrate i'm probably just gonna binge movies as there are lots streaming on tv today and i'd like to get started on some movie reviews that'll be gradually posted in the upcoming weeks so look forward to that! in honour of today, i also plan on finally reading A Christmas Carol in its entirety and also for the sake of revising for literature and being somewhat productive today. as of tomorrow, I plan on revising for my upcoming sociology and french exams in late jan/early feb as well as catching up on literature. although languages and shakespeare don't exactly come easy to me so we'll need motivation for that! - i'll be sure to post about it and keep you updated! while writing this post i also came across the new beta editor and so far its pretty cool! i hope you liked this amalgamation of a studyblr/diarypost?! see you soon! until next time!  ~ Amimi

a lil introduction

Hi! So I’m Amimi  I’m live in the UK and am from the Midlands I am bengaliI’m in Year 9/ 8th Grade (as of starting this blog)

ISFP-T  I’m a female and proud of it I currently study Art and French  Likes - Books  yay Gryfindor - Anime - Kpop  - Music and love anything aesthetically pleasing  About this blog  A small thing i did on a whim and hope to keep up with.  I aim to post a mixture of different things according to my own interests such as bts themed posts, stuff to do with astronomy, dark academia themed posts aswell as requests for prompts and such.

Warm Bodies (7 Days 7 Movies)

because sometimes watching a movie about the undead can make life feel worth living again. Warm Bodies (2013) takes place in an apocalyptic world filled with your typical brain-eating walking dead. Starring Nicholas Hoult and Teresa Palmer as R and Julie, ) the horror/romance (a combination of genres that sounded quite odd to me at first but works so well within the movie) takes on a love story in a comedic, dark way I haven't seen before. I first took interest in this movie simply because of Nicholas Hoult after seeing him in Skins as Tony Stonem but I ended up really liking this movie for a lot more than just the casting. If you haven't already caught on by the obvious character naming, the story is loosely based off of Romeo and Juliet and does well in referencing Shakespeares' tragedy here and there, within not only the obvious obstacles of love between zombies and humans but the persona of Julies' father and more significantly, the balcony scene - which was by far my favourite although I won't describe too much as I'd like you to watch it for yourself. In terms of writing, the dialogue and narration are witty and fun, R's inner monologue was one of the most enjoyable parts of the film, and I loved the contrast between his thoughts and physical actions. I also liked the added background, the reason as to why the undead act how they do, eat what they do, and so on. Subtle details across the board are so well done (To give an example or two: R not blinking until the water scene, colors becoming more saturated the more he becomes human) and the visuals are so damn pleasing. The soundtrack too, makes the movie what it is, after watching I was listening to Midnight City on repeat. Although not as typical, it's one of the best romances I've seen.

I hope you liked this post! be sure to let me know your thoughts and i'll be sure to take your feedback into account when writing next time! I thought I'd post this one a bit earlier than the others, and depending on the response I'll adjust my writing. until next time! Amina

ghibli movie binge? ghibli movie binge.

to read *dark academic tastes*

- The Secret History by Donna Tartt - Absolutely anything by Oscar Wilde - Harry Potter - preferably all in one sitting (idgaf what anyone says its da) - Shakespeare, absolute classic because.. shakespeare - Allegorical Novels (like AnimAl faRm)    - so you can look smart while discussing politics and microcosms @mohkomx - Edgar Allan Poe (dark poetry is hauntingly enticing)  - The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini  (not da,just my own recommendation) - Hugo Caberet (again my own recommendation - Brian Selznick is a genius) - anything by Brian Selznick (just for good measure) i hope you liked this post!  Amimi
