Secret Letter . Content Warning.
By now we're all well aware of what happened to me/us between 2020 and 2023. Today is Tuesday March 24, 2026, as I'm writing this; unknown if and when this should be published regarding Vocal's rules and regulations on each post. In Dissociative disorders and trauma-based responses are a good place to be. Timeline wise, but for clarification, some of the stuff I have brought up in past entries do deserve a trigger warning, and I am learning as a writer to disclose some of that shock value.

What Once Was Mine
What Once Was Mine, written by Liz Braswell and published in 2022 as part of Disney's acclaimed Twisted Tales series, presents a compelling reimagining of the beloved animated film Tangled. The central premise of this novel poses a captivating question: what if Rapunzel's magical hair carried the power to curse rather than to heal? By inverting one of the core elements of the original fairy tale, Braswell crafts a story that is both familiar and entirely new, exploring themes of self-acceptance, identity, fear, and the true nature of freedom. The result is a richly layered narrative that challenges readers to consider how different circumstances might shape the same essential character — and how one's greatest perceived flaw might ultimately become their most extraordinary strength.

So I read How to Lose A Goblin in Ten Days
Jessie Sylva's "How to Lose a Goblin in Ten Days" is a delightful gem that captures the whimsical spirit of The Princess Bride while carving out its own charming space in the cozy fantasy genre. This is a book that understands the magic isn't always in grand quests or epic battles—sometimes it's in the quiet moments of two unlikely people learning to share a space and, eventually, their lives.

I read Half His Age
If there's one book you add to your reading list this year, make it Half His Age by Jennette McCurdy. I went into this one already a fan of McCurdy as an author, but this book solidified exactly why she's become one of my favourites. It's personal, it's immersive, and it's the kind of story that stays with you long after you turn the last page.

The Mirror
The mirror had been there since before Ashley could remember. It stood in the hallway outside her bedroom — tall, dark-framed, slightly taller than it should have been for the wall it occupied. She had never questioned it. That was the thing about the mirror. It simply was, the way the floorboards were, the way the morning light fell crooked through the kitchen window. Unremarkable. Permanent.

No Signal
The first thing Lorelei noticed was the sound. Not silence — she had expected silence — but a roaring, ceaseless, all-consuming noise. The surf. It came from every direction, a white static that swallowed everything else, and for a long, disoriented moment she thought she had gone deaf and the world had filled the gap with its own voice.

Zoey's Extraodinary Playlist?
Can I be totally transparent? Yes? Okay, I haven't really been that interested in anything I have absorbed on television or the internet in years. To be quite frank, art however, subjective it always turns out to be has really been lacking for me, personally, as a viewer of the craft. Ever since the pandemic, it feels like, nothing seems to be interesting or entertaining. Everything seems almost dull or is trying a bit too hard to be something it's clearly missing the mark in.

The Other Woman
The video had been playing for six minutes when Maya realized the woman was describing her nightmare. Not a nightmare. Her nightmare. The one she'd been having for three weeks straight, the one that left her gasping awake at 3 AM with the taste of smoke in her mouth and the phantom sensation of drowning. The woman on screen—pale, dark circles carved beneath her eyes—spoke in a monotone that made Maya's skin crawl.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons 3.0 Update Review:
After 1,410 hours across five years and loving this game enough to gift it to multiple friends, I never expected to be writing this review. When Nintendo declared version 2.0 the "final major update" back in November 2021, we all accepted that New Horizons' story was complete. Four years later, here we are with version 3.0, released January 14, 2026, and I have complicated feelings about this surprise resurrection.

I got the chance to read The Princss Bride, so I did
Like many people, I grew up with the movie. The quotable lines, the swashbuckling adventure, the perfect romance - it was all burned into my memory. "Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya" became a cultural touchstone. "As you wish" was shorthand for true love. And "Inconceivable!" - well, we all know what that means. So when I spotted The Princess Bride at a bookstore, I grabbed it without hesitation, expecting a straightforward novelization of the story I already knew by heart.
