Letterkenny
As a whole, or for the rest of the seasons, whichever. Letterkenny was something we started watching with our buds— I’ve seen a bit of it before, yeah, and our buds reminded me it existed so I says, hell yeah. We’re gonna watch it. Pull it up. Now we just finished all twelve seasons and…

I’m the Villainess, So I’m Taming the Final Boss
Y’all have no idea how jazzed I was to see that this is an anime. I’ve read the manga a few times, but the manga stops right after she successfully stops the Demon Lord from changing. Imagine my surprise at the second half of the series!! And I also am collecting the light novel series…

The Descent
I’ve seen this one a few times, actually, so I rewatched it because I don’t think I ever saw the Descent 2 and wanted to revisit it. I remember young me, 12 years old, thinking, oh god. Juno is hot. It’s a good movie, led by an all-female cast. I love cave creature movies and…

To Your Eternity 1-21
I’ve always been somewhat in love with this series. And recently I’ve had the joy to get my digital collection up to date— for a long time I only had the ten volumes from a Humble Bundle—and since I was sick, I figured I would slam it back. And my god, did I weep exactly…
M's Media Menagerie
Thoughtful Dumping Grounds
Trope: Childhood Friends
Where a relationship— platonic or romantic— starts from being… well. Childhood friends. Trope can take many forms.
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.
