Kenneth's birthday party had been up and running for a bit, and Maureen had just served dinner, when Emma quickly pulled her brother aside and into the kitchen. The news she had to share required privacy for now.
Although she was only in the early days of her second pregnancy, Emma figured that Ken's birthday was a good opportunity to let him know already. He loved his role as Louis's uncle, so she knew this would bring some extra joy for his special day.

Right after the announcement, the siblings heard their mother calling from the other room. It was time for Kenneth to blow out his candles in front of everybody, so they could finally start their meal.
Kenneth entered adulthood with excitement. His interest in music had grown into a real talent, and now that he did not have to worry about school, he could finally focus all of his time on it.
[TRANSCRIPT]
Emma: "Sorry to drag you away from the party, Kenny."
Kenneth: "Don't worry, I could use a quick break. What's up?"
Emma: "Well, I didn't want to take away the attention, but I thought you could have the honour of knowing early. Being the birthday kid and all that."
Emma: "It looks like you're becoming an uncle yet again!"
Kenneth: "Really Emma? That's amazing! I'm so happy for you! And for me, of course."
*Emma laughs*

“Why do you doubt your senses?” “Because,” said Scrooge, “a little thing affects them. A slight disorder of the stomach makes them cheats. You may be an undigested bit of beef, a blot of mustard, a crumb of cheese, a fragment of an underdone potato. There’s more of gravy than of grave about you, whatever you are!” —A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens

Who's the Better Therapist?
Tumblr media
Propaganda under the Cut
Daniel Dickens
He is a counselor who, for his own selfish reasons, uses his clients therapy sessions to make them worse. (Purposely picking the bad options to enable their bad behaviors or to further their depression)
This concept, by definition, is fucking funny as hell. And allows him to be funny when he needs to be while not making his impact on the story any less meaningful.
Funny peeper man go brbrbrbrbrbrbrrbrbrbrbrrbr
--- Sean Macguire:
He is very effective at breaking through to Will and helping him find his potential. He's an actual good counselor in media, it's more rare than you think

Spirited (2022) Review
Tumblr media
Ah here we are once again. It’s that time of year when Christmas starts in November. What a pile of wallop. 
Plot: A musical version of the classic Christmas story by Charles Dickens. A miserly man who treats everyone around him with terrible selfishness finds himself on a fantastical adventure into the three phases of time: past, present, and future, in order to discover how he ended up so miserable and alone.
Everyone knows the original Charles Dickens’ classic story of ‘A Christmas Carol’. Even if you aren’t a reader I’m sure you were forced to browse through its pages at school, or at the very least watched The Muppets version. So in cometh the streaming semi-giant Apple TV to pair one of the biggest Hollywood comedians Will Ferrell with one of the biggest Hollywood stars period Ryan Reynolds in a modernised take of Dickensian literature. Big twist this time around though - the story is told from the perspective of the ghosts. In fact, in the world of Spirited the three ghosts haunting has become an annual event, and is in run like a business in an industrial version of the afterlife...well, I’m not sure if its the afterlife. The movie never really specifies on what ethereal plate this company performs on, but let’s be honest, one doesn’t really need to care for the minor details when at the end of the day all we want is a fun festive Christmas film (in November) with some jokes, catchy tunes and little heart. Does Spirited succeed in these regards?
Though it is no new Christmas classic, Spirited is a harmless holiday treat. There’s fun to be had with the narrative switching of the traditional roles, with Reynolds’ Scrooge-esque character turning tables and shepherding the ghost of Present into having to look back on his own past, present and future. Yet the story is still predictable, however is boosted by the fun comedic pairing of Ferrell and Reynolds, as well as a game supporting cast including Octavia Spencer and but a dash of the Dench. Benj Pasek and Justin Paul are behind the film’s many musical numbers, and though all the songs are perfectly enjoyable in context of the film and the choreography of the background dancers is pleasing to the eye, none of the songs are immediate hits in comparison to Pasek and Paul’s prior works on La La Land and The Greatest Showman. Don’t get me wrong, there are some catchy tunes such as “Good Afternoon” and “That Christmas Morning Feeling”, but even they don’t scream top chart hits. And the reason for this is that I think that all the songs here have too many lyrics. As in they lack cohesive choruses, and its usually within the chorus where a song can show off its true catchy elements. But again, in confines of the movie’s narrative the music played well. 
Halfway through the film I turned to my fiancée and made a prediction as to where I thought the film was going. I tried to act as a Shyamalan-expert and predict the twist, however unfortunately the movie did not go in that way and instead ended on a fairly generic finale. Nothing wrong with that, it’s a family friendly film after all (minus a certain moment when the ghost of the future gives us a glimpse at one possible future outcome that is surprisingly dark), however I personally thought my twist idea was better. Though naturally I cannot disclose my idea here as to avoid spoilers, though you are always welcome at my house for a chat with some tea and biscuits. In any case, Spirited is a splendid if not forgettable winter warmer that you and your family can easily enjoy with a hot choccy and the Christmas tree lights on....in November.
Overall score: 6/10

Tis the Season to get “Spirited”
Get into the holiday spirit with "Spirited"!
We often wonder is people can change or are they set in their ways? Can a bad person become good? What is it all for? Why are we here? Why did the author fall down a hole of existential questions that are making me question my life? Well reader, let me tell you why I am reflecting on life’s questions. Anyone that knows me and knows me well can tell you that I am a Grinch, but before his heart…

[🎵]
As autumn was slowly moving towards its end, Spooky Day came around and, despite Emma being heavily pregnant at this point, the McGregor's decided to host a party for friends and family. They had bought lots of different sweets and decorated the house with pumpkins, some of them they had even carved themselves.
The party guests, apart from their close friends, were mainly the younger generation of Emma's extended family, although Charlotte was also there, being the youngest of the aunts and uncles and wanting to use the opportunity to dress up and visit her favourite niece.
Everyone had come in different exciting costumes, Sean and Darrel even had costumes crafted by their mother, though the masks came off as soon as sweets were involved. Knowing her sons well, Christine had painted their faces, too, as a backup. Emma and Niall had been lucky to find some promotional costumes of the new Snow White film at the studio, which they obviously had to make use of.
In the end, it was a fun night for all. Even though Kenneth and Harriet seemed to pretend it was not, to not come across as childish, they ended up leaving with smiles on their faces, just like everyone else.
[TRANSCRIPT]
Niall: *whistling*
Niall: "Happy Spooky Day, Snow White!"
Emma: "You too, my prince!"
...
Sean & Darrel: *giggling*
Franklin: "Niall, where're the other drinks?"
Niall: "Check the dining room!"
Judy: "Come on up and let's dance!"
...
*lively spooky jazz* / *laughing and singing*
*lively spooky jazz*
Harriet & Kenneth: *teenage grumpiness*
