Uhh, oh my god. I think this will be coming in two parts. And even then it's a lot. 😫 I have a lot of editing to do.

Watching Vinland Saga S2 and just finished "Iron Fist Ketil". The hell of toxic masculinity. That is exactly what this episode is.

Hating violence. Hating war. But Ketil can't be vulnerable with other men. He can't appear weak. He needs to live up to the "iron fist" legend.

Re-watching parts of Sound! Euphonium & Liz and the Blue Bird in preparation for an article I'm writing. Mizore is such an important character to me. As someone who feels socially different and isolated, I painfully relate to her loneliness and attachment issues. She has taught me important lessons.

"Is it truly such an awful thing to be a part of both groups?"
- Silent Hill f

It's been 10 years since the release of the final episode of Life is Strange.

This game felt revolutionary at the time. In a gaming industry saturated with violence, LIS felt healing. I saw my anxiety reflected in Max, and I felt less alone. I admired its bravery with tackling mental health issues.

That feeling when Silent Hill f is releasing in a couple days and I want to play that day 1. But I'm also in the middle of Iwakura Aria and very invested in the story...and likely won't finish by Thursday. Might need to divide my time between the two, ahhhh.

I love Ichiko and Aria so much. <3

"How did you do it?"

This conversation. When Iris talks to her mother about the hardships of being a mother. Hekki birthday Iris. Keep moving forward. You're doing your best. ❤️‍

Cocona from Flip Flappers! I love her journey from insecurity toward self-actualization.

Playing Infinity Nikki be like:

"I will definitely make progress on the main quest today"
*Spends 15 minutes buying clothes*
*Spends 20 minutes customizing my outfit*
*Spends 30 minutes taking photos*

Something about experiencing girlhood vicariously...
7 hours in. Still on Chapter 1.
