The Duality of Mushoku Tensei

As is to be expected, this review contains some spoilers of both seasons of Mushoku Tensei. Avoid if you don’t want to be spoiled! I wrote this post about Mushoku Tensei in March of last year, after the first season had ended. My thoughts were that it was a gorgeous looking show with fantastic animation … Continue reading The Duality of Mushoku Tensei →

Covid’s toll on mental health

It’s been almost two years since the Coronavirus started. The last time I went to my university building was more than 23 months ago. I’m still enlisted at university and I’m still paying for it every month, but it doesn’t quite feel the same. Progress at getting my degree seems to have come to a … Continue reading Covid’s toll on mental health →

The Necromancer’s Daughter Chapter 8 – The island of opportunities (old version)

Meleorana III “So you said you have a proposition for me.” Scarlet motioned to an empty chair. “Speak, let me hear it.” Her mind was still racing. How did this woman know who she was? Why did she come here, how did she get here without anyone warning her until the last moment. Scarlet sat … Continue reading The Necromancer’s Daughter Chapter 8 – The island of opportunities (old version) →

Chapter Two – The storm and the girl’s past

Two days passed since Mana showed the first signs of being able to use magic and the weather had taken a turn for the worse. Cobal spent all morning setting up the screens that would be their only protection from the elements. Luckily the houses were built to last through these storms, but he couldn’t … Continue reading Chapter Two – The storm and the girl’s past →

Urusei Yatsura (1981)

I won't lie, Lum is the reason I wanted to watch this, that is a very striking character design. I’m sure everyone who’s watched anime over the past decade and dove into the culture has seen some characters pop up from time to time that they don’t really recognize. One of these characters for me … Continue reading Urusei Yatsura (1981) →

Sensory Overload

Loud noises, bright lights, flashy colors, busy streets, long train rides, large squares, crowded restaurants, cold weather, warm weather, shouting, car alarms, fireworks, and busy classrooms. I could continue making a list for hours and I’d still not get close to writing about all the things that can cause sensory overload. And I’m still one … Continue reading Sensory Overload →

The Necromancer’s Daughter Chapter 1-7 recap

I’ve struggled writing the chapters 8-10 of The Necromancer’s Daughter for a while now. I took some time off from it to write The Hesitant Hero which started being posted weekly yesterday. I’m refining that and hoping to get it published somewhere this or next year, that’s still a lot of effort and research away. … Continue reading The Necromancer’s Daughter Chapter 1-7 recap →

Chapter One – The Shores of Ravadier

“How’s the young lady doing?” A voice asked from behind the fruit stall.“Pardon?” Cobal replied. He’d gone out to buy some food and other necessities in the town for their stay.“When you arrived, wasn’t there a pale young woman with you?” The shopkeeper asked him, handing him back his linen bag that was now filled … Continue reading Chapter One – The Shores of Ravadier →

Aquatope of the white sand

When I watched the first episode of Aquatope it definitely piqued my interest enough to keep watching, but it wasn’t at the top of my list of shows that I was waiting for. It just seemed like a pleasant slice of life show with cute character designs. And that is definitely true, but there is … Continue reading Aquatope of the white sand →

Content Marketing

Almost 2 years ago, I started a minor at my university. I don’t know how common this is in other countries so just to be safe I’ll explain it real quick. A minor here is when you take a semester off from your major (English teacher, in my case) and do something else. This can … Continue reading Content Marketing →
