My Scream 6 hopes and predictions

Long gone are my days of beauty reviews and rambling personal essays; if my latest blog posts are to be believed, my tiny part of the internet is now exclusively for my thoughts on upcoming Scream installments.  And I'm not mad about it.  In case you live under a rock or your TikTok algorithm isn't as gory as mine, the next installment of the Scream franchise is out next week. As a Scream fangirl since my teen years (in the 00s, I'm still young enough not to have watched Scream when it first came out thankyouverymuch) I've watched every single trailer and read everyone else's ..read more

My predictions and wishes for the new Scream film

If you’re new to this place, allow me to introduce myself: I’m Mòrag and I’m a Scream fanatic. I am too young to remember Scream 1, 2 and 3 being released but during the 00s - when I began to explore my taste in films as a teenager - Scream 2 was the first slasher I ever watched and I’ve remained hooked on the genre ever since. And even though I watched the first three Scream films in entirely the wrong order, they’ve remained my favourite because 1) they’re incredible and 2) it was this franchise that introduced me to the genre I’d develop a lifelong love for. To say I’m excited about Scr ..read more

2021 round-up / my third post of the year

Whatever 2021 was, it certainly wasn’t the year of blogging. Blogs, as we all know, are on the decline and mine is no exception. As much as I have loved this space over the past eleven years, time does move on and so I have. I’m not planning to walk away officially and still appreciate this space as an occasional dumping ground for thoughts and reviews - but by and large, I’ve turned my attention elsewhere. So, what have I turned my attention to? Well, not much really if I’m honest. At the start of the year I wrote my usual probably-too-personal-for-my-own-good goals post where I shared with ..read more

Vegan eating and things to do in Fort William and Lochaber

If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram (or even TikTok since I did recently make my debut) you'll know that me and my parents took a wee trip to the West Highlands in September. We decided to stay in Inchree, which is about 10 minutes south of Fort William (via car) and used that as a base to explore the wider Lochaber area.  If you've never explored this area of Scotland then let me post a spoiler and say that it is absolutely stunning, even after summer has passed. There's also a lot to do and the three days we spent there still weren't enough to cover everything. It's also very tour ..read more

Growing up on the aromantic spectrum but not yet having the language to understand it

15-year-old emo me.  One of the most common queerphobic traits you come across is people moaning about how many words there are for people to explain their sexual orientation, romantic orientation and gender identity. You're making stuff up they cry! In my day you were only straight or gay, what is this nonsense. Pansexuals are just bisexuals who need attention. Asexuals just haven't met the right person!  Etc etc.  The thing is language matters. Language helps people express how they feel. Having one word to wrap up you're entire experience is handy. As a person who identifies ..read more

2020 was a shit year but a good 10 year anniversary

2020 was the year that really wasn't...wasn't it? To try and bring some personal positivity to my end of year post here are some good things that did happen to me. I started learning Scottish Gaelic and can now say basic phrases. I enrolled on to a diploma for free through the organisation's furlough fund and received good grades for both my assignments (the exam takes place in February). I started a podcast which hasn't been a runaway success but it hasn't crashed and burned either. I also watched a lot of Netflix and listened to three long-running podcasts in their entirety. I also fell in ..read more

Esty Wishlist: Gàidhlig Goodies

If you follow me on Twitter then you'll have noticed that my, uh, brand has changed slightly this year. Apparently, the ups and downs of learning Gàidhlig are now the delightful mini-thoughts I treat my followers to.  It was only in March, after witnessing a few people I follow using Gàidhlig as their default language, that I began to realise how silly it was that I couldn't speak the other official language of the country I live in (especially a language that hovers close to extinction). I was only ever planning to teach myself tourist-centric phrases, but eight months on I'm full s ..read more

30 Things I've Learned in 30 Years

Today, I’m saying hello to my thirties.  I can’t say I feel particularly different today or woke up with a new mature outlook on life, but I’m not going to pretend that I didn’t spend yesterday sitting wide-eyed and muttering “holy fuck I’m 30 tomorrow”. Turning 30 never scared me, or, more accurately, it hasn’t scared me in recent years. My 20-year-old self was certainly aghast at the idea that I’d ever turn 30. I remember having a conversation with someone when I was 19 where I said: “I can’t imagine my life beyond 30, what do you do with your life when you know you don’t want chil ..read more

An ode to my twenties.

I was going to pick a photo from my 20th birthday party, but they were genuinely awful so here's a relatively nice one from April 2011.  Two nights ago I did something very not like me. I deleted a blog post due out tomorrow that I had penned in the summer - titled A Letter to my 20-year-Old Self - because it was too personal. Let this be proof that I do occasionally keep some thoughts to myself. The reason this blog was too personal was because I talk about people who left my life during my twenties in a very detailed way. If you read my posts a lot you will have probably note ..read more

My 10 year singleversary

I'm not entirely sure what photo to use for this post, so here's me dressed as Katy Perry on my 21st birthday.  10 years ago I was dumped. At the time, the reactions were the usual “you’re great, you’ll meet someone in no time”. Then the days, the months and the years started creeping in where I had some intense flings and fun frolics but The One never came along. Not only did I not meet someone quickly as everyone promised, I didn’t meet someone at all.   Society loves romantic love and tries to make us feel like shit if we don’t have it. Older relatives regularly like to ask ..read more
