“I wished her story was over. I didn’t want to hear it anymore. All of a sudden I was scared, scared of the feelings she’d had, and I’d never had, and scared of what would happen next.” — Hard Love — *First and foremost, because it would be incredibly hypocritical of me not to, I would like to issue a content warning. There will be mentions of heavy subject matter such as: sexual assault, self-harm, suicide, abuse, and death, amongst other issues. The driving force behind this piece is to explore…

Two Sides of the Same Coin: A Twilight Princess Retrospective

“What hope there is in our kingdom is frail and dying…but there’s still a group trying to do what it can.” — A week into Tears of the Kingdom, thoughts still very much divided and mostly leaning towards the unfavorable but we all have our opinions and not everything is unenjoyable but I digress, I’d like to take my time to analyze why, despite it all, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess…

A Child Who Believes: The Americanization of Folklore

“We will watch over the children of Earth…for they are all that we have, all that we are, and all that we ever will be.” — In lieu of the past holiday season, I’d like to share my favorite moment of cultural shock that happened during my exchange programme in university. All from different denominations and countries, my roommates and I would sometimes gather to watch films and series. And it was one fateful evening when…

To Identify, or not Identify, as Latinx

”What the hell is a Latinx? Is it a Cuban Kleenex? If so, then it is the best Kleenex.” — One Day at a Time — I cannot remember when I first encountered the term “Latinx.” It was definitely online but other than that, I couldn’t tell you when I began using it in conversation. It certainly isn’t a label I would use to describe myself; personally, I don’t even use “Latina.” …

Something good has to come out of pain. — Headaches are not fun. Ever since I was little I’ve experienced headaches one way or another. Back then, I was prone to headaches when we moved countries and I had issues with reading in a different language. …
