Series Rec: ClaireBell (2025)

ClaireBell poster featuring Bell and Claire on a bunk bed


(8 × ~45 minutes (TV version) or ~60 minutes (uncut version))

Claire and Bell meet in a place no one enters by choice: prison. Wrongly convicted of drug possession, Bell begins her fifteen-month sentence only to find herself targeted by a powerful group within the grounds. Even the warden turns a blind eye to their actions. Her only path to safety is to go to Claire, a violent inmate no one dares mess with. Nothing is as easy as she'd hoped. As their bond deepens, their path reaches a crossroads and they must choose between life and love. (MyDramaList)

I'm partway through the 10Dance movie. I'm enjoying Sugiki and Suzuki's chemistry (and like that they kiss each other onscreen - I really enjoyed the subway car sequence). I also ship their female dance partners together. I haven't read the manga, but I gather it's ongoing.

I'm looking forward to (and am a bit anxious about) ClaireBell's finale tomorrow. I'm hoping it sticks the landing (and is a happy ending for Bell and Claire).

I discovered at the grocery store the other day that Tony's Chocolonely now sells mini individually wrapped chocolates as well as large chocolate bars!

January Talking Meme

Pick a date in January and give me something to talk about! TV, books, movies, music, poetry, fandom, writing, food, travel, fictional characters (&/or pairings) and all of their feelings, whatever.

You don't have to be following me or ever have commented to request a topic. If you're doing the meme, I'll leave topics for you, too! Feel free to link me at any time if you want one.

Feel free to suggest multiple topics/dates (or to just leave a topic and no date - I'll fill it in).

(I reserve the right to decline topics I don't feel up to answering)

Provided you'd knew in advance there would be only room for a Georgiou movie, and bearing real life restrictions in mind (i.e. guest stars from other Trek shows can only appear as they are today or have to be recast), what should a mirror Georgiou centric movie have been about?' for [personal profile] selenak
