One year ago my grandmother died. I didn’t really know my grandparents on my father’s side of the family at all since they died before I was born and when I was really young. I have some memories of my grandfather from my mother’s side of the family, but again he died when I was … Continue reading Grandma

Exploring the genre: Sports Anime
I have to admit that I’ve struggled to write this post properly for a while now. I think this is at least my fifth draft. I don’t know why, it’s a topic I’m passionate about, but I just can’t get it written in a quality way. Perhaps this is the one. And if not, you’ll … Continue reading Exploring the genre: Sports Anime
Loot box laws
A lot of people in my friend group, including my brother, have recently started playing the MMORPG Lost Ark. I know very little about this MMO if I’m honest. I know it’s been running in Korea for a while and was quite popular there. When it launched in the west, I saw everyone flock towards … Continue reading Loot box laws
The Necromancer’s Daughter Chapter Nine – The girl with pink eyes (old version)
Meleorana IVIgnoring the guard outside of Scarlet’s office, Meleorana made her way out of the Emerald Jester hideout. She had other places to go.

She walked past several of the elves hiding underground, many of … Continue reading The Necromancer’s Daughter Chapter Nine – The girl with pink eyes (old version)
Chapter Six – The Acolytes of Aquana
The hallways were clean and decorated with beautiful statues with pearls embedded in them. The pearls that signified worship to Aquana were everywhere. Several of the acolytes walked past them, all staring their direction as the guards led Cobal towards the center of the entrance hall. Here he had to wait for a moment before … Continue reading Chapter Six – The Acolytes of Aquana
5 Shows to watch in Winter 2022
This season of anime hasn’t impressed me too much. There are obvious winners in the sequels of Attack on Titan and Demon Slayer. Ousama Ranking is still ongoing and has earned a special place in my heart already. But when it comes to new shows airing this season I haven’t been too impressed. I debated … Continue reading 5 Shows to watch in Winter 2022
Valentine’s Day
I’m a fairly bitter person. I know this and I’ve long accepted this about myself. Whenever Valentine’s day runs around I can’t help but think about how it’s a marketing scheme to sell flowers and chocolate. And it for sure is that. But it’s also a day to be thankful for those around us. I’m … Continue reading Valentine’s Day
Black Clover is stupid
I’ve been wanting to write about Black Clover for a while now. The shonen anime based on the manga by Yuki Tabata has finished already, although a sequel is very much possible seeing that the manga is still going in full swing. I’ve been reading the manga weekly for a very long time now, since … Continue reading Black Clover is stupid
Chapter Five – Under the waves.
“Are you sure you want to go down there alone?” Cobal asked Mana. They’d discussed this already before getting onto the water, but he was still hesitant.She nodded. “So far only I can use this air tank, I have no way of making it usable for you. That would require some more tinkering by Cassandra. … Continue reading Chapter Five – Under the waves.
Small tasks are harder than large tasks (sometimes).
One of the reasons I wanted to do a weekly blogpost about a completely random topic is because sometimes I just need to vent about life. And this is the perfect avenue to do so. I’ve been studying to become an English teacher for several years now. The past two years my progress has come … Continue reading Small tasks are harder than large tasks (sometimes).
