Life update-2

[abyss_valkyrie]

Hey, guys! Thanks a lot for your messages on the last post. I think they were magical cause I did get a new job.
It's a bit of a downgrade considering how little this school cares about their teachers & have high expectations without giving us much to like about the job. I'm still pretty bummed out about having to leave my previous workplace and with other things, so what did I do?

I rewatched: All the Hunger Games movies with my mother because she'd read the books but hadn't known there were movies. Now she's in that phase of 'Oh, now what do I watch since I've finished one of the best movie series out there?' LOL!

OKAY AND LISTEN!! I picked up Leonardo (2021) after looking up series that were set in Europe. I was randomly looking for foreign series and saw Aidan Turner looking hot as always on the cover and well, it's about Leonardo Da Vinci so I thought, could be interesting.
AAHHH!I binge watched all 8 episodes of it and it hit the right spot for me with the era, the drama, music, murder mystery and dare I say...the relationships of the main characters?!

I unexpectedly ended up liking Salai X Leonardo & went on a hunt for fanfics on ao3. There were barely a few but ooohh, to find something for a niche ship! Also, Caterina- she was fiiiire!

Imma try and lure somebody into watching this series!

YAY FOR THE JOB! Even if it’s a bit of a step down. :/

Ohhhh Aidan Turner, he’s always an argument in favor of any show, must look that up.

THANKS!
Also,I'm now considering watching Poldark finally because...of him?!XD

[geckoholic]

Ohh yes, please do watch it! I'd recommend it. :D

[goss]

Wishing you all the best on your new job! *hugs*

And thanks for the Leonardo rec - I'll have to check it out. :)

[abyss_valkyrie]

Thank you!<3
It was a change from all the C-dramas and K-dramas I'd watched recently and since it's a complete story within 8 episodes, it can't hurt to check it out. :D

I am glad you have the new job, even if its not as good as you deserve - maybe something better will come along!

[abyss_valkyrie]

That's what I'm hoping for,but for the near future I'm pretty much stuck here. *sigh*
THANK YOUUU!

Congrats on getting a new job! That'll at least give you stability while you (perhaps?) search for one that's not such a step down!

[abyss_valkyrie]

Ah!Thanks a lot. :D

[trobadora]

Congrats on the new job!

And also, ooh, Aidan Turner! :D

[abyss_valkyrie]

Your icon looks so good,hehe!

[sakana17]

Yay for getting a new job! And here's hoping a better opportunity will come soon.

Oh! I remember hearing about Leonardo, but I completely forgot about it. This looks interesting!

[abyss_valkyrie]

Aww!Thanks a lot!<3
This show was very good and the fact that it is completed within 8 episodes?!YES,PLEASE!

[magicrubbish]

I'm glad you've found a new job. That's a start isn't it ? Rest is a process of acclimatisation and you'll soon feel at home at your new workplace dw. Hope to see you back to icon making real soon . I missed your icons ! :D

[abyss_valkyrie]

Aww!thank you!It's like when you're used to better things, it's hard to go back to less,you know?
Also yes, I made some icons yesterday after a long time and it felt so good. *cries*

[tinny]

Glad you got a job! It sounds like it's not a perfect fit? But at least you found it fast. *hugs*

Leonardo looks good! (Although my list is already long, I don't have high hopes of getting through it anytime soon.)

[abyss_valkyrie]

Yeah, I found it fast, so that's one of the reasons I'm being kinda grateful. :D
Oh I know, I keep looking for short series to watch and then my bookmarks keep getting long...some day I will remember to watch them all. XD

[breyzyyin]

Congratulations on the job front, even if it is a bit of a downgrade. I hope at least some parts of it are better somehow! *waves support banner* ♥

Oh, another show to add to the many that I need to watch! Looks like an awesome rec, thank you! ♥

[abyss_valkyrie]

Haha!Thanks a lot! The new job is letting me get a taste of a tougher side of life, I'd say,soooo, in a way that's working to develop me I'm hoping. XD
Oh gosh, I'd have finished Leonardo in one day if I'd had the time. It was really enjoyable!
