The ending theme of Dragon Half is the soundtrack of my brain most days.

if you don't have a color-coded spreadsheet and a 4,000+ word doc of notes about Blue Prince, are you even really living

just spent half an hour of my saturday morning screengrabbing "I had a joke about (Greek mythological figure and/or Marvel character) but" gags to share on Slack...
