Appleseed’s Strongest Soldier

Considering how I feel about V.IV Rusty I truly cannot fault Xiao Jinyi one iota. They’re truly just like me fr

Xiao Jinyi and Shen Junrui…I truly underestimated just how many struggles you would face…

Genuinely shocked at the twist in 36… I’m not sure how I feel about it yet but I’m definitely caught off guard, so props to the author…

Also they still haven’t really capitalized on the fact that Yautja are sexy. Which is a big con imo. Kinda shocking they still haven’t gotten with the times on that one

Fundamentally Predator Badlands is about Dek learning how to Aura Farm

I want Badlands 2 to be entirely about predators doing predator stuff as Theia is the token human

I want to see their culture more! Show us how Yautja prime became like this! What’s the demographic divide between Honorable types like Dek and Victory at all Cost types like the Predators 2010 crew

#THEDANWENTOFFWITHOUTAHITCH

I think the best way I can describe it is like, you know how wrestling can be fun even if you know it’s fake bc it’s scripted well and you can still care even if you know where everyone will end up? It’s like that. But John cena’s got mandibles.

B+!

Now seated for predator badlands

Time to see if #DANHASAPLAN

…Listen it’s weak. I know this. But how the hell do you make a pity pun hashtag out of Trachtenberg? Cut me some slack here gang

Path of the Settler: The Myth of the Aeldari Proletariat

It even does that classic morality play thing where the bad guys have to admit they’re bad and feel bad about it, so you don’t even the Derring-do finale of Theodore heroically vanquishing his foe or a more somber yet still cathartic breakdown into madness. So unsatisfying!

Finished Otranto. Goddamn they RUSH you outta that last chapter. Really frustrating that the building air of unease and suspicion breaks down into a mediocre morality play at the finale. I know it’s 300 years old, but what a let down

If you’re familiar enough with trashy wuxia and isekai cliches I highly recommend SVSSS as a jumping on point. It’s the exact sort of mean yet affectionate teasing that can only come from a true understanding of the genre

Fwiw my path to this point was getting into a random wuxia mmo at 13-> idly keep up with manhua trends during middle school -> get into SVSSS last year during winter break -> try out other light novels(thousand autumns and Daughter of Albert House)-> and finally webnovels

I’m also v new to this rip

shit I don’t even know. I guess the best bet is to try out a bunch official English published light novels (like Haruhi or MXTX’s stuff, that kinda thing) see what you like, then go on novelupdates and scroll through similar series? After all that find specific translation groups and stick with em

I’m enjoying Something’s Not Right by Cyan Wings a good amount! It’s a cute and funny light read. Always fun to see affectionate parodies that still have pathos and a heart.

Lowkey switching from manga to web novels as my default phone reading could be the play for 2026…

A section from “Something’s Not Right” by Cyan Wings: “The dream was highly erotic, but in the depths of his heart, Emperor Jingren was repelled. He thought that even if he really was interested in men, he still shouldn't turn his thoughts on a pillar of the nation like Zhuangyuan Lin. For a person with no virtue, this kind of dream might have been enjoyable, but for the principled Emperor Jingren, it was a torment.“

Look at my shou of an emperor dawg, the most heavenly ancestry shall never continue smh smh

Sorry guys mom said I can't come to Jonestown on the 18th :( Maybe next month?

Happy five year anniversary gang!

Hippolita leave this BUM!!!

SHADOW HAWK IIC LETS GOOOOOOOO

This manfred guy fuckin blows gang

It is kinda funny that outside of Rex, Tora, and Poppi nearly every major character in Xenoblade 2 either has past issues with suicidal thoughts or is actively trying to kill themselves. The mental health crisis in Alrest is at an all time high

Starting The Castle of Otranto on audiobook. As shameful as it is, even four months after grad school I still barely read serious novels, so I figure a serious audiobook is a decent way to shift back to proper procedures

Nun so holy

@realgdt.bsky.social hello dear sir, are there any plans to release Frankenstein on DVD? I don’t have regular access to Netflix but I genuinely NEED to watch this film over and over or else I will not survive. Please reconsider if there are no plans!!!

Starting Witch Hunter Robin, because Digipaint brown is the true pinnacle of anime

The cutscene direction in this game is doing things I truly did not a vn engine could do Goddamn I have been HUMBLED

Hey so this is like the most beautiful vn ever

back 2 holying my nights

lowkey it is crazy that the premise of the first three games is that a religious and segregated alien force wants to destroy an Americanized humanity because humanity is god’s chosen people. Remember Reach = Never Forget and all that. Even by early aught standards it’s blunt lol
