The first chapter introduces us to the concept, the second brings in the background with a traitor to magicians, and after…

Eldritch Lust #1
Beautiful art. Boring porn. “But M! This is about fucking otherworldly beings!” Yeah, but some of it’s so vague, or hard to see, and you kind of… can’t enjoy it as much? Maybe it’s the person between the keyboard and the chair who is the problem? Listen— they led with the best one first, which…

The Nib: The Death Issue
It’s a wild subject to start on, and it addresses statistics, perspectives, and the current sciences surrounding death. The comics are insightful. Funny. Not always something I agree with, but it does open up more about what people are thinking about when they approach death. The sacredness of the act of dying, the fear of…

Lady Devil
PLEASE BE MINDFUL OF THE TRIGGER WARNINGS. Finally. I finally finished this story. Once, eons ago, I started reading this while it was updating. It was one of those services where you need to unlock chapters with money each time so I (as usual) fell off the horse. Now I have finally read the whole…

Manga & Comics
Welcome to the Menagerie.
Here is where M logs their media activity. Partly because Goodreads is forgettable and keeping physical logs is harder. Sometimes M writes a lot. Sometimes M doesn’t write enough. It doesn’t matter. This is just a for-fun little blog so that M can remember what they thought about whatever they watched or read or played or. Whatever.
What is M?
I read. Voraciously. I have subscriptions to those book things on digital retailers. I consume books at nearly all hours. The hours I don’t spend reading? I’m writing. I’m drawing. I have a problem. I have a problem in that I love to read things that are in the same vein repeatedly. Book journals don’t work and as much as I text my friends screenshots of book passages, it doesn’t scratch the itch. Now I’m going to be doing… tiny… tiny book reports.
