Homestead
I did not care for this movie. It was overacted, overdone, corny. Lot of masculine games going on until Ian gets shot and Jenna lets them all in and there’s, like. Faith stuff. Basically criticizing the need to hoard materials and prepper culture in the face of WWJD and stuff. That’s the good part, actually,

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

The Healer Who Was Banished From His Party, Is, in Fact, the Strongest
So I only made it through 6 episodes. Usually when I drop anything, it’s because it’s offensively bad. This is not the case. I dropped this because… it’s not… great. It’s not bad, either. It’s mediocre. Middle of the road. It sure does exist and it sure does sit comfortably in the tropes. It doesn’t

Lout of the Count’s Family #3
Bro, I hadn’t even seen the announcement come out that #3 was released! (I’m behind on my email, leave me alone) Of course I dropped everything and picked it up. After all, the last book left me off right before Raon got his revenge. This one opens right up there. It’s a bit gruesome but

New World: An Anthology of Sci-Fi and Fantasy
Aaah… what a stupendous collection, with so many big names in comics! My favorite in this anthology ended up being Written in Stone, by Carla Speed McNeil. I ended up reading it three times back to back, and then once more before I put down the book. (I reread it when I opened the book
M's Media Menagerie
Thoughtful Dumping Grounds
Trope: Evil Government
As it reads on the tin: evil government.
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.
