Sit, we have much to discuss.

Let’s start today with a conspiracy theory. What the hell is going on with Spotify’s shuffle function? First it did a normal shuffle like it should but then they got complaints that it was randomly making suboptimal mixes. So they changed it to try and make a more balanced listening session. Then they made it … Continue reading Sit, we have much to discuss. →

Yorushika

I’ve been a fan of Yorushika’s music for several years now. A friend introduced me to their music before they became more popular and I fell in love immediately. This isn’t my first time talking about their music here, but I haven’t spent much time lingering on it. They’ve not done a lot of anime … Continue reading Yorushika →

The Final draft

Nothing is as terrifying to me as writing a final draft. I haven’t really done it before if I’m honest. I’ll write a version of my story that I consider good enough to upload, but right now I’m working on an actual final draft of the Hesitant Hero volume 1. When it’s done, I want … Continue reading The Final draft →

My favorite things in January

I was originally going to call this post “My favorite things in January” as that’s how youtuber Super Eyepatch Wolf names his videos that serve the same purpose. Obviously he didn’t invent the concept of recapping media you consumed, but it does have a very nice ring to it. If that’s the title of this … Continue reading My favorite things in January →

In defense of Mania

Have I been too harsh on Mania? I’ve been a fan of Fall Out Boy for a very long time, getting - admittedly casually - into their music around the time that Infinity on High came out. That’s already 14 years ago, I was 17 back then. From that point on I listened to their … Continue reading In defense of Mania →

New Year, Same Me

Can you believe that, it’s almost 2024. That’s crazy to me, how fast these last few months have gone. I got a new job, got medicated for my anxiety, paid off my outstanding debt (to family, so there wasn’t a lot of pressure, but it’s nice that it’s done with now) and got really ill … Continue reading New Year, Same Me →

Writer’s Block, being ill and starting antidepressants

It’s been a tumultuous few weeks for me. I’ve been adjusting at work much better than before, but this has come with some downsides here and there. For starters, I’ve had to start taking antidepressants. They’re actually used to help with my anxiety, but those two problems use the same type of medication. I’ve had … Continue reading Writer’s Block, being ill and starting antidepressants →

NaNoWriMo Recap & Blog Update

It’s the first of December! We’ve actually made it 11 out of 12 months already. Compared to some of the previous years it’s been a bit less chaotic in our corner of the world, which was a pleasant change of pace. Let’s just not talk about the elections that just happened here in the Netherlands … Continue reading NaNoWriMo Recap & Blog Update →

Quick Update

Hey folks, time for an update. Not so much because it’s time to let you all know how riveting my life has been, but more because I’ve been struggling to keep up with my writing lately. Part of this is because NaNoWriMo is coming up in about a week and I’m working on preparing some … Continue reading Quick Update →

Some thoughts on Hesitant Hero

Quick note: I wrote this on Friday then forgot to upload it. Oops, here it is though! Consistency is key. I believe I heard that somewhere. One downside of writing these stories over such a long time and not going back often to check facts and things because you’re lazy like me is that you’ll … Continue reading Some thoughts on Hesitant Hero →
