Shoresy Season 5
This was a good season.After season 4’s stick slap to the ice ending, it’s been on my mind endlessly. This season’s “winning culture” ideal has been rotating like fucking tacos al pastor in my brain since I watched it.

M's Media Menagerie
Thoughtful Dumping Grounds
Trope: Conveniently Cut-Off
This is the trope where someone is about to say something— Just playing. Clarifying information is cut off and leaves the rest of the explanation open for (mis)interpretation.
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.
