    The Apothecary Diaries Season 2

    As per usual, I LOVE Apothecary Diaries. Maomao is the aroace KING we all deserve. I love that Jinshi is 100% a doting husband on her autistic ass. The mysteries up the stakes and Maomao gets involved in a national fucking incident while just doing her thing. In between the beginning and National Fucking Incident,

    I’ll Become a Villainess Who Goes Down in History

    I wanna read the LN… Not to say I didn’t enjoy the anime! I did! I really did enjoy the anime and I looked forward to watching it when I was. It just feels like it lacks more. Maybe I’m just. Uuuh. Silly… Anyway, I put in the first episode.

  • The Minecraft Movie

    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

    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 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

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.
