Hi everyone and welcome back to me and my channel.
It´s been a while sense we last saw one another
I don´t know when I last posted, maybe a year ago
I know it was Halloween videos when I did makeup
"I´m trying out a new editing program, Hitfilm Express instead of Movie Maker
Anyways, Hi and welcome back to my channel
This is the first video that I´m talking in to the camera
And hopefully post the video
I have not done so much on Youtube before
But it´s super fun and especially the editing part of the channel.
To edit is fun and something I want to become better at.
I apologize for the scar and bruise and if you have any questions about it I will answer that now.
I burnt myself on my toaster
Simply
and I hit my arm on a door
There, now you know. Not more complicated then that
I am not wearing any makeup
I go all natural because it´s not necessary every time
Tough I´m thinking about whering makeup to my audition this afternoon
But well see (I didn´t)
I apologize for speaking so fast but I do that when i´m nervous.
To talk fast is also a way to make the video shorter.
oh well.
I´m going to talk about whats going to happen from now on.
I have graduated!
One week ago I ran out of my school
From my High School / Upper secondary school
Sang the "graduation song"
And just cried
I made it!
*chocked*
I am done, I DID IT!
I graduated
I´ve spent three years on this school and now I´m going out into "the working life"
I am unemployed
*Babbling about being unemployed*
Have you thought about it that we actually celebrate becoming jobless after graduating.
Some are lucky to already have a job but for the rest of us that are unemployed after school....
We celebrate becoming redundant, unemployed.
Sorry for that to I am sick
I´ve been sick all week
both coughing and a clogged nose.
But hopefully it won´t effect the video that much.
Anyways back to graduation
I´ve been to this school for tree years,
and mad so many good friends
If your watching this I miss you so much already. It's so insane.
WE GRADUATED!
That's insane
What I was thinking is,
what will I do now?
In the future
I´m done with school
I´m done studding
Now I´m going out into the "working life"
The first week I went to the bank, been to meetings, looked for employments
*Done a lot of grownup stuff*
*I have never felt this adult before in my entire life*
But I´ve also applied to an audition
and what day is it today? Its Friday so today I´m going to the audition.
Exactly
I am going to try out for a roll in a movie, a short movie
It will be my first time auditioning
for anything
I have played in theater before and done other type of performances (mostly music) in front of an audience.
But never tried acting in front of a camera
*Except some short films in primary school*
When you stand in front of a camera and act.
It´s something I always fancy doing but I have never done it.
In the bigger cities in the southern parts of Sweden this is more common
acting and such is bigger there, sure acting exists in the north to, but not in the same scale.
*There are apparently some big companies in the north to but I didn´t know of them before recording this*
Not that I have noticed at least
And hopefully it all goes well for me at this audition
But I also have one more "surprise" or whatever you should call it
Because I have graduated I got some present.
One of them I had already planed together with my parents.
Going back to Iceland
And if you have followed this channel even if i haven't been active what so ever.
I started making videos from my "internship" when i was on Iceland for five weeks.
And now i´m going back there.
I´m going back to farm, ranch where I was and did my Internship.
Me and my parents are going there for vacation, were going to rent a car and drive around.
Probably mostly around the southern parts of the island
Not so much up north but well leave that for another adventure, another time.
and I was thinking that you will tag along trough my vlogs and hopefully that will be the start of this channel again.
It is very awkward to stand and talk to my camera and post this on Youtube.
So that people can see it but screw it, I will take this challenge.
Because I want to become an actor and start creating movies
So hopefully I can get some friends together and make sketches or short movies
I don´t know, something like that. *Otherwise i'll try to do them myself, it will be an exiting challenge.*
Well have to see where this channel goes, this could be the only video i post or my vlogs from Iceland.
If that's the case then that's what it is.
And I just have to say it fells really weird standing alone in the apartment talking to my camera.
*You don´t say*
But that doesn´t matter this will probably turn out okey.
So hopefully this will turn out good
I´m thinking you will tag along when I go to Iceland
Today is all abut my audition
So well see how it goes, I will come back this afternoon and tell you how it went and felt
I have no idea right now
see you tonight
Alright, hi everyone
It was very exiting, I was so nervus
But it went well
For being my first time auditioning, I fell pleased
with my efferts
I started by presenting myself,
my name and such into the camera.
and approve some "confidential" stuff
Then I got to preform the monologue that they sent me beforehand to learn "by rote".
I was told to do it in two ways with different emotions,
the firs happy and second sad
I thought it was very exiting but I forgot at one time what I was suppose to say
But after that it felt kinda good and went well, I had the monologue memorized.
So I´m happy about that.
Then it was a improvisation part
and as you can hear I got to improvise out of a scenario they gave me on the spot.
After that it was a scene from the script
that they also had sent me to memorize beforehand.
The people that was there organizing the audition was very friendly and supportiv
they were pedagogical and nice.
It felt like you could relax around them
So now it's just to wait for the results and see how it went.
Hopefully,
I'll get a role if not..
maybe I can become a walk-on
because that is also something they require.
Maybe I won't get a lead role it takes a lot and you have to fulfill curtain requirements from the "directors".
so hopefully it all goes well otherwise i'll apply for a walk-on role instead.
I haven't done that ether.
Thank you for watching this video
I hope you liked it,
in that case feel free to give it a thumbs up and your welcome to subscribe if you want
It's up to you
Every Friday I will release a new video from Iceland
with my vlogs
and I hope they are good I've had some problems with my microphone lately to my camera.
But hopefully it will turn out okey in the end,
otherwise, it is what it is.
So thanks for watching and I'll see you on Friday.
*BYE*

Celebrities Whose Families Literally Loathed Their Spouse - Duration: 3:33.
Family drama is incredibly stressful, especially when it involves your spouse.
Relatives ragging on your significant other can force you to choose sides and constantly
playing peacemaker gets real old, real quick.
Unfortunately for these stars, it's a dilemma they know all too well.
Here are a few celebs whose families loathed their spouse.
Donnie Wahlberg
Therec have been ongoing rumors that Donnie Wahlberg's famous fam doesn't care for his
wife, outspoken radio personality Jenny McCarthy.
The rumor mill reached a fever pitch in 2014 when Donnie's brother, actor Mark Wahlberg,
skipped his brother's nuptials.
Although Mark claimed he didn't go to the wedding because it fell on the same day as
his daughter's birthday, fans still speculated that something was amiss…and that the "something"
was the bride.
A year later, Mark's wife, Rhea Wahlberg, supposedly joined the reported feud.
Shortly after McCarthy debuted pink hair, Rhea tweeted:
"Don't u think after age 25 it might be strange for a woman to dye her hair pink, purple,
green or any color of that sort?"
McCarthy had the last word when she dyed her hair blue in 2018.
David Foster
Fans of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills might be surprised to learn that David Foster's
kids never really took to his ex-wife, Yolanda Foster.
Although Foster's children kept their distaste for Yolanda in check while they were married,
they went public once the divorce was final.
In June 2016, Foster's daughters, Erin and Sara, revealed their feelings regarding Yolanda's
struggle with Lyme disease, on Jenny McCarthy's SiriusXM show.
Sara said,
"Only she knows her journey, but what I will say is if you're capable of continuing to
be on a reality show, you're not dying.
Let's be honest."
Caitlyn Jenner
Caitlyn and Kris Jenner's marriage was rocky in more ways than one, but it appears that
Jenner's kids with ex-wives Linda Thompson and Chrystie Crownover never approved of the
reality TV matriarch.
Caitlyn's son, Brody Jenner, told the New York Daily News,
"The tension was real as far as growing up not knowing her intentions, who she is, there
was obviously just drama between the family and parents."
Caitlyn's mom, Esther Jenner, reportedly deeply disliked Kris, as well.
Esther told the Daily Mail in 2014,
"She could insult you with a big smile on her face.
[...] She was backstabbing as far as my grandchildren were concerned, and that is something I can't
stand."
Lamar Odom
Lamar Odom's two kids, Destiny and Lamar Odom Junior, didn't take to their dad's famous
ex-wife, Khloe Kardashian.
Although Lamar Junior has tried to keep relations civil, Destiny vocalized her true feelings
on her Ask.fm page, saying,
"No one thought they were going to last, so honestly, who [cares]."
Destiny also didn't approve of Kardashian rushing to her dad's side following his near-fatal
overdose in 2015.
She told People,
"A lot of people in our circle were confused.
Their relationship is very toxic."
Brad Pitt
When Brad Pitt started dating his Mr. and Mrs. Smith co-star Angelina Jolie, fans wondered
what his family thought of his new lady especially since Pitt's ex-wife, Jennifer Aniston, was
reportedly close with his parents, William and Jane Pitt.
An insider told Now Magazine that Jane preferred Aniston to Jolie, claiming,
"Jane's seen, first hand, how difficult Angelina is.
She never comes to visit the family in Missouri and is always prickly on the rare occasions
they have [gotten] together.
Jennifer was the total opposite — charming, friendly and the perfect daughter-in-law."
Another source told Radar Online,
"Jane tried so hard to bond with Angelina and welcome her into the family but nothing
ever seemed to work."

The Untold Truth Of Blade - Duration: 7:22.
When it comes to the blockbuster success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there's a ton
of factors that have built the franchise into what it is today.
But it was the 1998 release of Blade, a gory action movie packed with leather coats and
thrilling set pieces, that first broke the comic movie mold in the nineties and showed
longtime readers and mainstream audiences alike that Marvel Comics could be cool.
But the 1998 release of Blade isn't the whole story; in fact, there's a lot you might not
know about your favorite bloodsucker-busting hero.
Here's the untold truth of Blade.
Tomb of Dracula
Blade was created by Gene Colan and Marv Wolfman in 1973 during their run on the Tomb of Dracula
series, which followed a group of characters tasked with killing the Lord of Vampires.
It wasn't just a horror comic, however; the series brought Dracula directly into the Marvel
Universe with crossovers and superpowered guest stars.
Readers eventually learned that Blade's real name was Eric Brooks, and that he had received
both his strength and his hatred for vampires from his mother, who was bitten by a vampire
while she was giving birth to him.
The event gave him immunity to vampirism, as well as a prolonged lifespan and fangs.
After Tomb of Dracula's final issue, Blade popped up now and again in the Marvel Universe
whenever a title needed a dose of horror.
Blade: The Movie
It was the release of Blade in 1998 that catapulted the character to new creative heights.
The movie reinvigorated the concept of a vampire-like vampire hunter, showcasing a character that
lived in the shadows, killing sleazy vampires in outlandish action sequences.
Although the movie was directed by Steve Norrington, producer and star Wesley Snipes deserves a
massive amount of credit for the character's stature in pop culture history.
Snipes would constantly adjust shots and ad-lib certain lines of dialogue or scenes that,
while costly, were always beneficial to the final cut.
Snipes even ad-libbed one of the most famous lines of the movie:
"Some motherf----ers always trying to iceskate uphill."
Blade 2
Blade was a smash success with an incredible idea for a planned sequel.
"And at the end of the film, Blade and Karen pick themselves up and there are hundreds
and hundreds of vampires out in the streets, and it's become planet of the vampires."
Norrington turned down the opportunity to direct the sequel, leaving the chair open
for Guillermo del Toro to step in for Blade II in 2002.
The film followed Blade as he was forced to team up with a group of specially trained
vampires to hunt a powerful mutant aberration of vampires called "Reapers."
The film turned out to be a success, but it's arguably most notable for featuring a murderer's
row of character actors who would go on to major acclaim, including Norman Reedus, Donnie
Yen, and Ron Perlman.
Critics were lukewarm, but the fans turned out in force, turning Blade from a one-off
hit into a genuine franchise.
Blade: Trinity
Blade II had moved the franchise forward, but Blade: Trinity went off the rails.
Directed by series writer David Goyer, it intended to bring in more of the classic elements
from the comics, like vampire detective Hannibal King and Dracula.
Unfortunately, by all accounts, it was a disaster for everyone involved.
Patton Oswalt recalled his time on the set with a series of stranger-than-fiction anecdotes
about Wesley Snipes.
"He would communicate with post-its that he would give to the director.
And each one, he would sign 'Blade.'"
For his part, Snipes found the situation so unpleasant that he filed a lawsuit against
Goyer, the producers, and New Line Cinema, citing, among other things, the 'juvenile
level of humor' in the screenplay as well as the increased focus on Blade's sidekicks.
Blade: Trinity ended up being the worst reviewed movie of the trilogy, and put a stake through
the heart of the franchise.
But as with any good vampire, Blade wouldn't stay dead for long.
[Intense music]
Blade TV
In 2006, Blade would return on the small screen in Spike TV's Blade: The Series.
Snipes was replaced by rapper Kirk "Sticky Fingaz" Jones for the show, which continued
the events of the movies.
While the show's expanding mythology seemed intriguing, the series slowly hemorrhaged
viewers until the season finale — a slow bleed that seemed oddly fitting for the vampire
show.
Blade in the Marvel Universe
While the Blade television show spelled the end of the character's live action adaptations,
a new comic book was released less than a week after the show's final episode aired.
The series combined Blade's original comic book origin with his vastly more popular movie
personality.
This new version of Blade kneecapped Spider-Man, owed Wolverine a blood debt for saving his
life from a vampire years ago, and occasionally did odd jobs for S.H.I.E.L.D.
While the comic only lasted twelve issues, it did have one of the oddest team-ups in
Marvel history.
Dr. Doom kidnapped Blade to assist him in saving an innocent life from vampires.
The catch?
The victim was Dr. Doom's mother, a Romani sorceress who was attacked by vampires decades
ago... but was saved by Blade going back in time to save her.
Most importantly, the reasons Doom knew that it was specifically Blade who saved his mother
was that he had perfect recall, even as a fetus.
Gross.
Blade in Britain
Wesley Snipes' portrayal was so successful that it's easy to forget Blade was born and
raised in London in the original comics.
After the cancellation of the rebooted Blade comic, he appeared in the ensemble cast of
Captain Britain and MI13, which followed a group of British superheroes battling magical
threats.
While on the team, Blade started a romantic relationship with fellow team member Spitfire
— a vampire with superhuman speed who'd been fighting her bloodlust since World War
II.
Having two vampires on the team turned out to be a problem, though, when Dracula launched
an attack on Britain from his secret castle on the moon.
Blade and the rest of MI13 were able to repel Dracula's attack thanks to a captured Duke
of Hell, a mystical skull that kept vampires from invading Great Britain, and the mystical
sword of Excalibur.
No one ever said this stuff was easy.
Blade the Avenger
While Blade is most well known for fighting vampires, he's often found himself at odds
with a wide variety of immortal beasts and demons.
In The Mighty Avengers, this involved secretly rallying a team of heroes to fight the Deathwalkers,
four immortal rulers who each had dominion over one of the elements.
Intriguingly, this required Blade to adopt disguises so as not to alert the Deathwalkers
— first as Spider-Hero, the non copyright-infringing spider-themed hero of New York, and then as
Ronin, a catch-all ninja costume for superheroes who need to go incognito.
Don't worry, he eventually went back to his trademark outfit.
Return to television?
While Blade might not currently have a comic series, that doesn't mean Marvel's forgotten
about him.
In fact, there's a chance he might return sooner than later — specifically, in an
upcoming season of the ABC series Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
A spokesperson for Marvel tweeted out about the 2018 season with the hashtag #Blade, leading
fans to speculate that the show would incorporate everyone's favorite vampire hunter.
Snipes even responded to tweets asking whether he would be willing to reprise his role for
Marvel, saying
"When anyone asks 'Who could be the next Blade?' you already know there's only one Blade fam!"
Ball's in Marvel's court…

Good evening.
How do you feel about todays shenanigans?
Well, I feel pretty good but I'm a little concerned about my buddy here.
I've also heard that there might be some rougher material in there as well.
There's only one way to figure that out.
Pegimus. Would you like to watch the video?
Yes I would.
When this opportunity presented itself, I knew
that I would come here to ride someone hard.
After all, this is my natural habitat
and, you know,
this ain't no game of life.
What I've gathered from talking with him
is that the guy is totally clueless.
I've seen a lot of different videos in my time
but this time I have to honestly say I'm sorry.
Pegimus,
what are you feeling right now?
No one should ever have to experience anything like this!
Whew.. could someone tell me why we're standing here in the cold?
Because overclocking works best here.

Hamlet Book Tag [CC] - Duration: 12:02.
Hello everybody, my name is Cara, and today I am here to do the Hamlet Book Tag.
This tag was created by Allie from alliembooks and she was also the one who tagged me, so
I will link her original video down below.
She is so wonderful, you guys should definitely check her out.
Now as you guys know: I absolutely love Shakespeare, and as you may NOT know, Hamlet is actually
tied for my favorite Shakespeare play.
So I was SO excited when Allie tagged me in this and let's get into the questions.
Question #1 is Hamlet: Name a book with an unlikable main character.
And I'm going with Asking For It by Louise O'Neill.
Now as I mentioned in the wrap up when I talked about this book, I think the fact that the
main character is so unlikable is an intrinsic part of the book and the story and what makes
it so powerful.
This book follows our main character Emma O'Donovan who is kind of the classic beautiful
party girl, everyone loves her, everyone wants to be her and to be her friend.
And then one night she turns up on her parents' doorstep and she is bleeding and broken, and
she has been horribly raped during the previous night's party and events.
And this book really follows the aftermath of that event and basically how her sexual assault
becomes this media sensation and people all over the world are taking sides and kind of
weighing in on whether or not Emma deserved what she--what she got.
And that's why I think it's so important that Emma is such a--an incredibly unlikable protagonist,
because like she's--she's mean to people, she's cruel, she can be so unfeeling to people
who care about her.
She has so many character flaws, and none of that means that she deserves what happened
to her, like I think that's such an important part of this book; I think Louise O'Neill
did that very deliberately when she was creating Emma's character.
And I think that this whole book is just such a--a powerful argument for the fact that nobody
deserves that kind of thing to happen to them.
Question #2 is Gertrude: Name a book with a living parent or parents.
This is actually really difficult in a lot of fiction but I'm going with Red Leaves by
Sita Brahmachari.
This is a book about 3 different children and how their lives sort of interconnect through
the way they find this wood.
And family is an incredibly important part of this book.
One of our main characters, Zak, is biracial and his relationship with his father and mother
is very complicated.
Because for one thing his mother is a warzone reporter, and he never knows if the last time
he sees her is gonna be the last time he EVER sees her.
And there's just--there's so much going on with his family life and his--his relationship
with his parents.
But I think they are such strong characters and strong influences, even Zak's mother,
who is like for the most part kind of an offpage character.
You get such a feeling for who she is and how Zak relates to her, and then another thing
about this book that I really love is one of our main characters Aisha, she lives with
a foster family, a foster mother.
And her foster mother loves her so much, like, and I think this is such a powerful argument
for the fact that adopted families and found families are true families, you know?
Like Aisha is just as much this woman's daughter as anybody's birth mother.
And I think that that is such an important thing to read in books, and especially for
books with younger characters you know so kids can kind of...see that relationship and
see it celebrated rather than feeling like kind of a second place, almost, to living
with your birth parents.
And this is just such a fantastic book and I highly recommend it.
Question #3 is Claudius: Name a book with an unlikely villain.
My answer for this one is Furthermore by Tahereh Mafi.
And I picked this book because the villain of this story in my opinion is actually a
place, like it's the entire world of Furthermore which is sort of this...it's like dark whimsy
almost?
It's like this very magical, beautiful, strange, and wonderful world...but, the dark side of
that.
And I think Tahereh Mafi does such a great job kind of building that world and we get
to see these characters like interact with it and try to survive, and even though there
are characters along the way who you're kind of trying to figure out are they on our main
characters' sides or are they--are they the villains, you know are they against them?
I really feel like the strongest antagonist in this book is the entire world of Furthermore
itself, and I think that's so cool.
Question #4 is King Hamlet: Name a book that has a ghost/apparition, or any character from
beyond the grave.
And my answer for this one is Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier.
And the title character of this novel, Rebecca, she is...like your whole sense of who she
is, is through other people's memories and other people's like dialogue about her.
And I think that Daphne du Maurier did such an incredible job crafting a character like
second-hand like that, because she feels like such a real presence in the story, she absolutely
like permeates the entire book, and she at this point has died like, she's not alive
for any of the events of the book but you definitely feel like she's a strong element
in the story and she's definitely a fully-realized character.
And I think that's so impressive that du Maurier was able to do that with somebody who you
never--you never really see her.
Question #5 is Ophelia: Name a book with a female character who deserved better.
And oh my God, you guys; my favorite question, I--I have some thoughts on this topic!
And the answer I went with is from The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern.
And I am talking about Isobel.
If you guys have read this book, do you remember Isobel?
I don't blame you if you don't, because frankly even the author seemed to kind of not think
she was important.
But Isobel is sort of set up as like the romantic false lead for Marco?
Because you know from the back of the book that Marco and Celia are going to fall in
love, that like that's gonna be an important thing in the book.
So when Isobel and Marco start this relationship, you know it's gonna end badly, in one way
or another.
But I really really loved all of the scenes with Isobel!
Like from her introduction to the last time we see her in the book, it's like every time
she's on the page, I wanted to know more about her.
I wish she had a bigger role in this book, I just think she's so interesting and she's
so underrated like I think her--her strength is so underappreciated by the characters in
this book.
Like she's so smart and she's really--she's doing the best she can to kind of hold these
situations together, to kind of like make the best of things, and nobody appreciates
her for that.
I mean, I guess sometimes they're actually unaware of all that she's doing to help them,
but I just...I love Isobel so much and I just wish that we had gotten more of her or that
she had gotten--like that she had---she really did deserve better, like I just wish that
she had gotten...something.
Something.
Question #6 is Laertes: Name a book with a strong sibling relationship.
And I'm actually going with Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow by Jessica Day George.
Now if you guys saw my [next-to-last] wrap up, I'll link that down below in case you
haven't yet, but I...I had a lot of mixed feelings about this one, but one of the things
that I did really love were the characterizations in general, and especially the relationship
between our main character and her oldest brother.
But the lass and her brother Hans Peter have just such a wonderful sibling relationship
and friendship, and he really--he makes to take care of her, especially because her mother
especially doesn't really take care of her, or doesn't care about her very much at all.
And just their relationship is just such a highlight of this book.
I really believed their kind of teasing way they talked to each other but also this really
deep love they have for each other, and that is something that I really enjoyed about this
book even if some of the other elements were not my favorite.
#7 is Polonius: Name a book with a controlling father or father figure.
And I'm going with The Young Elites trilogy by Marie Lu.
Now in this book Adelina's father is not only controlling, he is actually abusive, so definitely
a trigger warning for that for this book.
Seeing her like kinda come into her own strength and power and really like fight back and teach
him a lesson is just such--such a good part of this book.
And I think that the fact that this whole series--this trilogy is kind of marketed and
written as kind of a villain origin story, it's so important at the beginning of this
story to see why Adelina is making the choices she does, like even when she's doing bad things
if you as the reader can understand or empathize with why she's doing them, I think that really
helps kind of buy into this whole like villain protagonist thing and the fact that one of
the characters she does this to is her horrible abusive father, I think that's a big component
of why I enjoyed this novel, I know it's kind of polarizing, some people really don't like
Adelina, I find her a really likeable unlikeable character, especially in the first and third
book.
So definitely recommend this series.
#7 is Rosencrantz and Guildenstern: Name a book with a strong friendship.
And my answer for this one is Dragon Slippers by Jessica Day George; just realized I have
2 Jessica Day George books in this tag, but that's fine!
And this is actually a trilogy I still have to read the third book but I'm really enjoying
these so far.
And the friendship I'm talking about is between our main character Creel and her best friend
Marta.
And in both the first book and the second book, I just--I love the way that their relationship
is written and just the way they interact with each other, the fact that they support
each other and they tease each other and they also kinda pull each other back from making
bad choices, 'cause you know, that's one of the important things that friends should do!
And I just--I just love all of their interactions so much.
The female friendships in these books are just amazing; they're so well-done and even
though not every female character is a good person, like is someone that you want to see
succeed in these books, it's still--like I think there's still so much evidence of girls
helping each other and supporting each other and getting along.
And Creel and Marta are just such a good example of that.
And they're not the only ones, there are other female friendships in this book as well.
And finally, Question #9 is Horatio: Name a book where you changed your opinion about
a character or the book itself.
And this is actually something I talked about recently, and that is Raisa from the Seven
Realms series by Cinda Williams Chima.
This is the second book, The Exiled Queen, and this is really when I started to change
my perspective on Raisa as a character, because...oh my gosh.
This girl is just--she--she's so strong and brilliant and wonderful.
I just love her so much, I think that all of her decisions I can see why she makes them
and that is such an important thing for me with characters, I know for a lot of people.
Because even if like you want--you want your characters to have flaws, but you don't want
them to make stupid decisions just--just to like mix up the plot I guess?
And Raisa never does that, like she's doing the best she can in an incredibly stressful
situation.
She's like coming into her own as a leader and just--everything she does, like every
conversation she has with people...I just like want to stand up and cheer for her because
everything she says is just like, so good?!
And I was talking to Aoife from Fred Weasley Died Laughing because she really loves this
series, and Aoife mentioned one of the scenes--one of the scenes in the third book where she
looks around and she's like "Hey, uh, why aren't there any women on my council?"
And everybody's kind of like "um...*vague shrug noises* I don't know, you know that's
just not how things are, blah blah blah" and she's like "Yeah well we're gonna change that
so uh, next time I expect more women."
Like, "Bye.
Raisa out!"
*contemplates Raisa's amazingness in silence for a moment* It's, it's just everything.
I love her.
If you guys have not started this series, it's--it's so good.
Even if you don't like her in the first book, because I really thought she was spoiled and
just really frustrating and kind of a cookie-cutter standard like princess trope?
And she's so not, she get so much better, she grows so much, and like...I could, I could
gush about her all day, but...Raisa, man!
Okay everybody, so that was the Hamlet Book Tag.
Thank you again Allie so much for tagging me and for creating such a wonderful Shakespeare-themed
tag; makes my heart so happy!
I'm going to tag Tricia from TellHerAStory and Amy from Blonde and Bookish because they
are 2 of my--my fellow Shakespeare gals, and of course anybody else who sees this video
and who wants to do it, you don't have to be a Hamlet expert to do this tag.
You don't even have to be like a Shakespeare fan to do this tag, the questions are just
really fun and interesting.
And if in the future that kind of leads you to dip your toe into Shakespeare, and to maybe
try some of his plays, then of course that's all the better, but it's really not a prerequisite,
I promise, you guys.
Thank you guys so much for watching, I will see you soon with another video, and I hope
you love the next book you read.
Bye!
