i don't like riverdale :/

hi everyone,

a question i will get asked pretty much, idk frequently, is "hey malu, why don't you like riverdale?". i thought i'd sit down & do some proper research as to why i dislike riverdale.

when the trailer for riverdale first came out, the creators try to make it different from every american teen high school drama, however, as i watched the previews on itunes, i really felt it was another generic high school drama. nothing stood out to me, it wasn't appealing to me.. i really felt it was just another generic teen drama show, but they just throw in archie??

the creator said that we should not even expect the show to be like the comics since he wasn't a fan of the material whatsoever.. i ask on a daily, WHAT WAS THE WHOLE FREAKIN' POINT OF ADAPTING THE COMICS THEN???? that, to me was totally unfair & really just made me upset. i will admit that i enjoyed some scenes, but overall, i literally just wanted to stop watching it. i did, however, try to give it a chance by the end of each episode preview, but i really don't like the show.. it's like they're totally different people with the same names.

their target audience is supposed to be aimed at teenagers (could also be young adults) since they try to make it seem relatable, but you can't really relate to any one of these characters. maybe you guys can relate to the characters, however, i really cannot... i can't relate to someone trying to track down a serial killer or solve murder crimes... i just can't do it. i also can't relate to a bunch of attractive teens sitting at a diner since i don't really look like a million dollars (not that i care though...) & i can't leave my house w/o my mom's consent.. also, i don't happen to be a fan of the comics, but my mom's boyfriend happens to have heard of them & i did research on them so i know a tiny bit about the archie comics. to be honest, even if i were or to not enjoy the comics, it wouldn't change my opinion on the show in any way, shape, or form.

i won't even sit down & pretend that i hate all riverdale characters since i really like two of them, which happen to be cheryl blossom & alice cooper. i really don't care about the others (i don't care about archie, jughead, betty, veronica, etc.)...

also, i didn't find it okay that the cw took away jughead's asexuality since they could VERY EASILY make another teen drama show & i heard that the plot twist was predictable & boring, which i have yet to watch. i've watched the season 2 finale of pretty little liars where there was a plot twist from building up so much drama & let me just say, it was BORING AS HELL.

i'm back cx

hello ladies & bros,

how is everyone doing??? i missed you all so so so much!! i haven't been updating this blog in three years due to school, social media, my desk job, & my social life... i would also like to announce that i'm drifting away from fashion since it wasn't doing it for me... instead, this blog is going to focus on music, cosplay, & other media that i have come across in the past three years.. today i would like to add in a spotify recommendation, which is when i recommend songs i listen to on spotify on a daily basis.. today's spotify recommendation is a song i got into four years ago because my best friend madi balter (shoutout much??) got me into the song & i was mindblown at how amazing the song is.. it is called circles by audien (there's two versions: a radio edit & the original mix). it is a perfect summer track to jam out to, especially since it is festival/concert season!!

link to the radio edit is here:

love always,
