january journey (jovialess)
i don't think jovialess is even a word but it is now. sorry this post is a bit late, i've been super busy. this month felt so long??? so many things have happened that i can't recall them off of the top of my head. fell out with some people, had my first mock exams (they weren't amazing but i wasn't crying so that's something!) stressed and stressed and stressed about school work. like it didn't actually hit me until now that i'm in sixth form. growing up feels weird. until next time Amimi
Don’t forget the lifestyle you promised yourself.
subway cookie supremacy
he watched howls moving castle and decided to make movie howl his new personality
Darlington, demon and gentleman of Lethe, canonically reads and enjoys Diana Wynne Jones books
"I'm in Spain, but without the *s*" - old, boring
"I'm in Spain just like Darlington" - new, mysterious, dramatic, gives you an opportunity to talk about Leigh Bardugo's books
ghibli movie binge? ghibli movie binge.
emotion is the hardest thing. you can know why you feel a certain way, what makes you feel that way, every detail inside and out but you can't actually put a stop to it. you'll just be going on with things and realise you don't feel that way anymore, for how long do things have to go on for until that realisation though. i'm stressing myself out by waiting.
there's 50 people following this blog! and reading my rambles about life and dumb things i say. that's so cute lol

guess who's back, back again
sorry i didn't post for new years this a bit late but... i had seen the reblogged post last year and i know it's old but it's stuck in my head so i felt the urge to reblog. "every day brings the change for a new beginning, even if it's a repeat attempt. one day you'll make it stick" i think the ability to think like that is truly incredible and that's exactly what i'm going to try to be.
I wish you all wonderful and healthy holidays. Let’s approach the end of this year with all our might and end it on a good note so that we can start 2022 in high spirits!
And don't forget, every day brings the chance for a new beginning, even if it's a repeat attempt. One day you'll make it stick
i miss when new years was exciting
hello! i normally try to keep up with a monthly or weekly schedule but for this week and next week i'll have a lot on my plate with school work! maybe i'll do a new years post but this time it's not going to be my usual post on the 31st at 11:59 so i wouldn't keep up my hopes up. i really want to get back on track before the 3rd of january. i'll see you all soon! until next time! Amimi
daniel. fucking. arlington.
do you heavily relate to darlington’s extreme longing for anything magical and extraordinary or are you normal
movies (for when you want to cry)
believe it or not, my blog was supposed to be all about movies and film (thus the name filminah, innovative i know) i don't know if i enjoy torturing myself or what but here are some movies that made me cry. when marnie was there (anime 2014) - follows teen anna sasaki through a journey of self exploration that takes place due to a mysterious girl she meets named marnie. now, this is definitely not the best ghibli film ever, a little awkward at times especially in the dub but yonebayashi hiromasa does not know how to make a bad movie. the twist was kinda expected but it's ghibli and it's so damn charming you can't help but get attached to anna and marnie and feel everything the way they do. i want to eat your pancreas (anime 2018) - the title is weird, i know. an introverted boy, haruki finds out the secret of his very popular, bubbly polar-opposite-of-him classmate named sakura. she is affected with a severe pancreatic disease. the way they build the connection between the main two characters is so so good to watch, fulfilling what you know will happen in the most unexpected way and showing the aftermath of the movies major events. a silent voice (anime 2016)- this was the first movie i ever found sad enough to make me cry actual tears. ishida shoyo bullied a nishimiya shouko in middle school. shouko is deaf. now a highschooler, after being unable to commit s**c*d* he finds himself becoming friends with shouko, helping her get better and maybe himself along the way. imo this film is one of the best representations of a lead with struggling mental health and they show that incredibly well in both visuals and dialogue, kyoto animation always impresses with their work and the sound work is impeccably done with the way they establish an atmosphere or put you in a characters shoes, embodying them. link to pt 2 (to be added)
christmas eve, wanting to leave
i will never understand people who create drama and then act like nothing happened? like??? working on my notion set up in an attempt to try and organise myself so i can be prepared to work nonstop for the next week and catch up on all my work. i will post screenshots of my set up once it's finished!! i got my own library card and bank account yesterday!!! i'm so excited, it'll be so fun and like i'm a real adult and useful :DD being able to take out books for myself!! the bank thing is okay aswell i guess. i'm trying out adult fiction woah. the book i chose being ninth house by leigh bardugo. i'm stoked!! the sequel of ninth house and the second book in the trilogy is coming out this january and i can't wait! hopefully i'll be able to purchase both books from my local bookstore which will be super cute. i already know i'm gonna devour it in two days and then have to wait an agonising three years for the third and final book to be released D: BUT there is apparently a TV series depicting the Alex Stern series in development?? and with the second book coming out as well as the success of Shadow and Bone and it's second season i think that we'll hear more about it in 2023. so far i'm halfway through and i really love the characters of darlington and alex, when i first started reading i imagined darlington as a lot older until i heard his real name and MINI SPOILER caught the romantic implications between them. i really like how detailed and descriptive it is, however the first two chapters are quite confusing but i have discovered the amazing hack of reading the glossary and explanations at the back first. i'm gonna continue reading sooo that's all for now! Amimi
beach weather is going on tour next year?if i get to go it will be my first concert!!! been having a lot of firsts lately, it's almost the end of december and the end of 2022. my monthly diarypost and yearly wrap up are going to be really long i think! also this is my 150th post!! only somehow took me 4 years - by that logic it'll only take me another 28 years to get to 1000 lolol
london livelihood (the sequel)
carrying on from my previous post after leicester square we finally got to the most exciting part of the trip, winter wonderland. surprisingly a lot of people were only there for the food, which i was very surprised by, i think the main event is the rides, no? first up was the Eurocoaster, i went with two friends who i'm gonna name Tall and Blue at the time it seemed very scary but it was nothinggggg compared to the other two rides we went on after. it twists and turns and went up and down at the most unexpected moments, i think Tall was also wary of the fact she was sitting inbetween two motion sick people but thank gosh nothing went wrong. all three of us screamed our lungs out and then Tall said the ride wasn't even scary?? i think she screamed the most lolol. next up was my choice, The Boomer, a big 360 swing that also rotates the carriage so you're spinning upside down. this was without a doubt the scariest ride i've ever been on. i mean, go big or go home right?? when we first got strapped in i heavily regretted all my life decisions and chose that specific moment to tell Blue about my fear of height. remembering it gives me goosebumps. after all the mayhem, the ride came to a stop at the top and for a solid 5 minutes we had the best view of not only winter wonderland but the whole of london. i think for a few minutes i loved the height more than anything. we took a small break to cool off because that ride is exhilarating before walking around so Blue could have her pick. That ended up being the Munich Looping. I'm quite sad that I didn't get to keep the mid-ride picture because i managed to keep a straight face the entire time but alas! there is no proof. We explored the rest of the park after that! Took photos and met up with friends where we tried churros and macarons (overrated imo) I slept the entire ride home. I think it's definitely something I'm going to remember for a long time afterwards. The image of london from the top of the Boomer and the chill from the cold is engrained in the forefront of my memory until next time! Amimi
london livelihood
14:38, 15 Dec 22 sorry i didn't post before, we ended up back home at 10pm and i was severely drained from the days events yesterday i had another school trip! believe it or not, to oxford, i'll write about that in another post. so my trip was on the 13th! with school. it started off awful, the friend i initially intended to go with was ill so she couldn't come, i was convinced i was going to be alone and miserable, at the start it was depressing but things became really fun as time went on and i started interacting with people. our first stop was buckingham palace, super cool! i think it's a really beautiful place but it was overshadowed with the hecticness of everyone trying to sort themselves out among the crowd of tourists. next up was the london eye and then trafalgar and then leicester square, a dispute reared it's ugly head but i managed to have fun with a friend i'll dub as Mal (it's short for Malificent, get the disney reference lolol) unfortunately the london eye was closed off, my school refunded us for that part of the trip though! we weren't in trafalgar for very long, simply to take photos and get registrated. flirted with a cashier in M&M world, walked around, almost knocked a LEGO display over, explored tons of places, ended it off with a date with Mal in Maccies, because sweet curry sauce is the best thing ever. that was about it for leicester square. next up was covent garden and ohmygodddd. GLOSSIER??? the store was so pretty and they had those disposable applicators for everything so you could try out all the products. boybrow, cloud paint and lash slick were some of the best products i tried. NARS. in all the stores where i live they are never stocked from how quickly they sell out so when i saw a whole store dedicated to them i was sooo happy. their pressed setting powder is to die for i'm telling you. next up was Reformation, a bit of a let down, they had nice stuff here and there but it was nothing to wow at, POLO Ralph Lauren was also super nice inside, it felt like a movie set. we went to two more less notable stores, disappointed because we somehow completely missed the Dior and Chanel stores but we only had an hour to explore so we wouldn't have had enough time . i'm afraid this post is getting a bit too long to post so head on over to part 2!
london , buckingham palace,leicester square, convent garden and winter wonderland tommorow, will be v cool! tell you all about it when i get back!!
yeah, dreaming that alexander the greats evil twin sister was a dictator and that my lifes purpose is to prepare for her second awakening so i can kill her was in no way shape or form lingering in the back of my mind
recently i've been having those kind of dreams where its just better scenarios of things i regret and mistakes i made but done right- mended friendships and happier times. it's so real and so tangible that when i wake up it takes me a few minutes to realise. maybe i'll even remember text convos and then i'll check and realise it's not there. that's it's not real after all. i have a theory that dreams are just created from thoughts and repressed memories that linger in the back of your mind, which come to the forefront and get muddled together which is why they become so weird (well at least ik some of my dreams are).
