After God Vol. 7
You know what, I feel bad for Obikawa. He’s caught in this weird web of friendship and manipulation, and as my favorite character and the biggest rat-man in the series, I do not think he should have become a liquidated mass of meat. (not that I think the story should go differently, i truly wonder…

Star Trek the Original Series Season 1
(I forgot to publish this months ago) I decided I wanted to try to watch Star Trek. I feel like I don’t have my proper nerd cred without it. And I did not anticipate it being so fucking fun. I wasn’t sure how to write a report of it. I’ve concluded that I’ll do a…

Trigger Warning: Manipulation
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.
