arghhh i have to miss out on fanexpo this year because it's on the weekend of my grandma's 100th birthday. grandma you don't understand, i could be meeting the cast of SMALLVILLE and BUFFY. they got MR. T. and JOHN CENA. and i could meet them while dressed up as BOCCHI.

how it feels seeing people talk about hundred line when i thought i put my danganronpa phase behind me

getting to the bit in romance of the three kingdoms when Liu Bei says "Zhang Fei, Guan Yu and I... together we're dynasty warriors!"

went out with my mom and she noticed there's this big patch of mint right next to a restaurant and she just. took that shit?? straight up clipped them lmao.

as an asian-american, it's almost too bad "chinaman" is considered this side of a slur because i think "chinaman's chance" goes really hard, as a saying to denote low odds of success. it's not meant to, but it kinda does. defying expectations against all odds, but make it chinese...

talking to star wars fans is so exhausting i'll be shooting the shit like "it's funny we just accepted padme died of a broken heart" and then they'll ping me to be like "umm that's not what the movie says, she just lost the will to live" like damn u right. she didn't die. she just stopped living

gazing longingly at the alternate world in which shang-chi got all the popularity iron fist got instead from the get-go

got out of my white women workshopping lecture (watched pride & prejudice in theaters)

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOO

not to "thing, japan" again but it really is crazy how anime consistently still mogs western genre fiction when it comes to action. i rag on battle shounen but at least they have creative set pieces and demonstrate an understanding of gradual rising tension, as much as i enjoy easy slap fights

a solid 10% of all my life's problems have to stem from being around a lot of people who think they'll burst into flames if they engage with any art made before 2005. which might not be a high percentage but it's still there

white rice drenched in soy sauce with char siu (chinese pork)... oh yea that's the good stuff babey...

average VN fight: "CLANG! Sparks crackle as our blades clash. I grit my teeth, blood boiling in my veins as we wrestle for control. He's toying with me, swatted away every tactic I had. I'll have to improvise." average western novel fight: "i charged and swung my sword at him. he fell down."

getting into mystery literature is really funny when you get to sherlock holmes and realize most of it is actually kinda bad. most of it just everyone bumbling around before sherlock is like oh yea i knew the culprit the entire time, with no build up. doyle was no agatha christie

saw someone say "if they put ghost rider in marvel rivals i hope it's the original one and not the modern mexican guy, i don't want a repeat of iron fist" this community makes me feel like i'm infiltrating a klan rally

last four games played

the kind of smile you'd take a picture of and put into a locket...

reminder to watch sinners while you can. nothing out there like it.

all the hundred line talk fondly making me remember when i used to be a kyoko danganronpa kinnie. i guess i still am, somewhat

looking forward to getting to daybreak one of these days ever since hearing that van and elaine's dynamic is like that of a divorced couple

i often hear the term "coworker movie" as shorthand for generic four-quadrant slop but it's so beautiful when original movies get so much traction from good word of mouth that makes people curious about it. everyone in the office asking me about sinners, i'm the prophet spreading the good word there

emma millstein

*re-reading world renowned and influential novel Crime and Punishment* wow this really enhances my appreciation of japanese video game silent hill 2

even though i was raised catholic, i never quite understood what "catholic guilt" is supposed to mean, but as a non practicing buddhist i assume it's something like the existential dread of knowing i royally fucked up somewhere along the line and i will not be seeing nirvana any time soon

been getting really into peanut butter lately

oh we're finally back

lowkey my most hated video game character is probably yosuke persona 4. i hate that guy so much. lots of fans headcanon him as closeted gay but i'm choosing to gatekeep homosexuality from him, he'll only stink up the space

trails of cold steel 1 laura and fie: "yeah we didn't like each other at first due to our contrasting upbringings but eventually we reconciled our differences" alisa to rean: "sorry i held a grudge against you for falling on my boobs. that was totally out of your control" machias and jusis:

thinking about when my buddy who introduced me to trails in the first place said wazy's pronouns were "he/him but not in a cis way" and i never forgot about that

the fate franchise started to decline in quality the moment it strayed from its roots; the adventures of mages who also just so happened to be kung fu masters on the side. we don't get fights with Super Bajiquan anymore.

oh earth day was yesterday lol. i remember back in school they'd always make such a big deal about it but now i just don't think about it anymore. this rock kinda needs to go anyway

outer wilds surprisingly really stressful to play oh god

spent the last few days really confused about the yuri fan art of "horse race tests" because i thought it was some weird offshoot of uma musume but no, yuri just sprouts everywhere when there's a will

HOLY FUCK SINNERS. imax 70 mm. an actual religious experience. energy around this is like get out again. holy peak

ordered four tenders at this chicken place and they gave me five instead. an auspicious sign!
