I believe that all anime fans, or fans of any other form of media have a very specific moment where they fall in love with it. I don’t mean the first time you watch something and think to yourself ‘yeah, I enjoyed that.’ No, the moment I’m talking about is something a lot more specific. … Continue reading The Cruel Beauty of Arlong Park. →

The Necromancer’s Daughter Chapter 1: The Library (old version)

Sprawling along a riverbank laid a magical town. Lantern lights filled the city and brightened the streets with koi fish swimming through the seemingly endless river.

Kaylirr’s Yin and Yang – Part 2
