Hi friends, I've been pretty ill for a couple of days with a really bad stomach ache. I'm doing a bit better now, but that's why this post has been delayed, I had other priorities. Here it is, enjoy. After a disastrous failed assassination attempt, everyone is stuck inside Bege’s body and is having a … Continue reading One Piece Volume 87

The burrito is a metaphor
I’ve talked about Bo Burnham’s comedy before. It’s one of those comedians where I enjoyed his early work when I was younger, and enjoy his later work now that I’m older. Despite that being mainly the case, there are still some of his older songs that I really enjoy. In his second to last special; … Continue reading The burrito is a metaphor
32
I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling… 32? How’d we get to this point? I thought I was still young. Now my back hurts, my hair is leaving me faster than my mom left my dad and I’m still living in a tiny room in my parents house. Where did it all go wrong? … Continue reading 32
Hesitant Hero – Afterword
Hello friends. Another year, another volume of the Hesitant Hero. When I started writing my very first draft for volume 1 of this story, all the way back in November of 2021, I had no idea I would ever get to this point. I had tried a couple of very different approaches to this story … Continue reading Hesitant Hero – Afterword
One Piece Volume 86
Volume 86 marks the 20th anniversary of the One Piece manga. For those of us who can do math, that’s about 4 volumes a year, with a little bit extra. Oda at this point in time admits that maybe he should start taking the series a bit more seriously. Which he then contradicts almost immediately … Continue reading One Piece Volume 86
Fall Schedule
Good morning friends!We’re already three quarters into 2024, that’s hard to believe. Spooky season is already upon us and here in the Netherlands, kruidnoten have been on the shelves for almost a month already even though Sinterklaas isn’t until December. Not that I should complain, I like some of the candy they only sell in … Continue reading Fall Schedule
One Piece Volume 85
We join the gang as they get out of their predicaments from the last volume. To an extent, at least. I love how a lot of these stories are very meticulously crafted so that the volumes work out having good cliffhangers. Writing consistent weekly chapters is a skill already, but also having both the chapters … Continue reading One Piece Volume 85
Monday Blues
We’re pretty far into the year now and I find myself wondering if this novel will ever be finished. The more I look at it, the more new ideas I get. I added a lord in this book mainly because I want him to become relevant later on and now I’m considering adding more races … Continue reading Monday Blues
One Piece Volume 84
How do you fight against someone who is able to make solid, unbreakable cracker soldiers? Well, the solution is quite simple really. You just make them wet and then keep eating them. You see, Luffy’s gear four takes a lot of energy, but if he can continuously refuel with cookies, then that solves the problem. … Continue reading One Piece Volume 84
Dinner for two in another world
It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of worldbuilding. I love it when a world you read about or watch something about feels like it was lovingly crafted. The people living there feel realistic, they have their own cultures and their politics are complex yet sensible. I love complex magic systems but I also … Continue reading Dinner for two in another world
