cw: c19 pandemic mentions, violence, some medical content, death, animal cruelty, war & nuclear bombings mentioned, alcohol use

how was this so much fun? i laughed so much and absolutely loved each character in their own ways including their interactions with each other.

also yay for trans & queer characters! you don't get the exact info about charlie, but so many of the rest of the characters are diverse & you love to see it. 🩷

cw: lite body horror moments, death, casual ableism

if you don't like time travel/multiverse things, skip this one. it was relatively good, but it i had known about the time travel/multiverse element ahead of time (not in the synopsis or anything), then I would've skipped it entirely. I don't like that type of scifi, it bugs me. unfortunate, but everything else was decent and I had a good time overall.

also good to note this is more of a character driven story overall, so be aware of that going in. there IS a story, but it's more about the characters.

lily ad alice is the best, that is all.
