The Minecraft Movie
We decided to fuck around and have a Minecraft-themed party that encapsulated Father’s Day, my birthday, Remy’s birthday, and his kid’s birthday. Honestly, it was unexpectedly fun? Hammy, dumb, B-movie quality with AAA budget. Did you know that it has like 6 writers??? I was fascinated by this movie. It’s bad, for real, but it’s…

(Abu)Normal Ch. 1-20
I’m fascinated by this manga. Here we have Eiko Abu who studies the people around her with an intense fervor in order to become closer to what people would consider normal. It’s her hobby and what she strives to do in everything… however, only knowing the interpretation of normal from others, she doesn’t possess the…

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…

Outbride: Beauty and the Beasts 1
ISEKAI’D BY: Truck-Kun! Noel is endgame for me. That said, I totally think Mashiro reacts appropriately to being resurrected to be a breeder with four dudes, one of which tries to fuck her like, right away, until another one barges in and basically says, “that’s not fair, bro, we gotta talk about who gets her…
M's Media Menagerie
Thoughtful Dumping Grounds
Trope: Natural 1s
The character is failing so spectacularly the only way to interpret it is that fate itself was against them.
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.
