The Prince in the Basement
Do you need any more reason? Aside from the fact that this is an extremely Trans Tale.

The Unsinkable Ship of Fools
Fuck Capitalism and then Fuck Each Other The author lives that pure anarchist punk life and fuck, dude, I honestly think that they got it right. All those pretty ideals that psuedo punks, wishful punks, talk about. Those little touches that bring it in and make it vibe. This is full-on an anarchist sex train

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

Why Don’t You Eat Me, My Dear Wolf?
I threw the smut tag on here but it’s not until the final chapter (thankfully). This is a really soft, gentle manga.

The Substance
In the pursuit of youth and beauty, you rob yourself. That’s the most basic message in the Substance. The very least you can get from it. But we can expand on that, can’t we? The disposal of aging women in our society, the need to meet male standards for women’s beauty, the men in position

Don’t Let the Forest In
*Once upon a time, Andrew had cut out his heart and given it to this boy, and he was very sure Thomas had no idea that Andrew would do anything for him. Protect him. Lie for him. Kill for him.* High school senior Andrew Perrault finds refuge in the twisted fairytales that he writes for

Clockwork Planet 1 – 3
Harem Scale H: MC will do anything for his clockwork, including the right thing. A: By volume three, he’s aware that he wants to collect more robot girls. R: He’s got a thing going with Ryuzu. E: It’s pretty middling on the fan service, and keeps it to double entendre and phrasing. M: I’m down

How to Sell a Haunted House
When Louise finds out her parents have died, she dreads going home. She doesn’t want to leave her daughter with her ex and fly to Charleston. She doesn’t want to deal with her family home, stuffed to the rafters with the remnants of her father’s academic career and her mother’s lifelong obsession with puppets and
M's Media Menagerie
Thoughtful Dumping Grounds
Trope: Self-Sacrifice
The character is willing, and able, to kill themselves for the sake of everyone else. So they do.
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.
