    A Beast’s Descent into Love

    When thief Karim sneaks into a clandestine auction, he finds Asena, a beautiful young man with animal ears and a tail. On impulse, Karim steals him from the bidder who bought him for a hefty sum and decides to take responsibility, making arrangements to live with him for a month while he waits for the…

    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,…

    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…

  • The Purge: Election Year

    The Purge: Election Year

    I find it funny that this movie came out in 2016, when Trump won the office for his first term. Like the other Purge film I talked about, the symbolism is in-your-face, criticizing the current government and begging people to trust the system and using their vote to change things rather than taking direct action.…

  • The Purge: Anarchy

    The Purge: Anarchy

    As I watched it, I was laughing to myself. No wonder it is so popular a series. For people like me, it’s a criticism of the government putting systems in place that fuck over the lower class in order to build a world where those on top stay on top, enjoying the fruits of the…

    Delico’s Nursery

    This anime was actually recommended to me by my brother, so of course I just watched it the whole thing. I’m wondering if they wanted to make another season? I’m on stand by. The trailer gives you a sort of whimsical sense, right? Right? WRONG IT’S ONLY LIKE THAT FOR MAYBE TWO EPISODES, THIS IS…

  • The Brilliant Healer’s New Life in the Shadows #2

    The Brilliant Healer’s New Life in the Shadows #2

    I complained about the first one being a standard harem builder, but this one at least has a smaller focus on the harem and more on moving ahead. They resolve the child trafficking arc and turn to the MC’s skills. There’s a strong contrast between himself and other healers, which truly.does emphasize the OP quality…

    The Brilliant Healer’s New Life in the Shadows #1

    Aight we already know that fantasy healers have my undying loyalty. This dude is an absurdly talented healer and I am stealing ideas that I haven’t already utilized myself. That said! It’s primarily a harem builder series. I was hopeful we could just watch some cool stuff happen but… well… There IS a possibility of…
