I meant every word of this.
Screenshot that says, "Seeing Gojo finally embody the Main Character Energy he's been afraid of this whole time has peen a treat, but seeing his classmates watch with awe as he applies Marin's makeup or adjusts the fit of her suit jacket is what this show is really all about. Life is too short to hide. Write that 100,000-word fanfiction about two side characters who never interact in a game but you know would be best friends if they did. Get that anime character tattooed on your arm without shame or judgment. Buy that body pillow and host a birthday party for your Best Boy or Girl.

Me reacting to the news yesterday:
A gif from The Simpsons with Homer's feet sticking out of the ground and two crows. The first one says "There goes a real sack of crap." The next one says, "Indubitably, old chum."

There are genuine times when I feel like I need to cite an article I wrote for a different outlet when writing a feature and this is how it feels.

So yes. Rats are highly intelligent. They are also little chaos gremlins who cannot be trusted and I love them so much.

Look at this shit. You're telling me this is going to be a reliable fucking walk through for anything?

What is he sitting on? Why does he look like Peter Griffin? Why has her hand melted onto her sweater?
A terrible AI generated cover for an AI generated walk through that probably doesn't help anyone.

This paragraph was a fun one to write.
Screenshot of an article that says, "First of all, Joanne, you're not Colonel Jon 'Hannibal' Smith, so get his words out of your mouth. Second, if you were a better writer, you could come up with your own catchphrase. Just sayin'.

Important dad moment this week:
Two arms clasped. One arm says "My 21-month old son". Another says "Me, who saw Jurassic Park in theaters as a kid". In the middle, it says, "Playing with dinosaurs on the carpet".

This is me calling myself out.
An excerpt from the linked article that reads, "This isn't one of those pieces where I turn around and explore something deeper about the anime industry. This is purely me sharing the results of my fascination with both voice acting in general ans how American films are dubbed and released overseas. It could be a testament to how small the voice acting community is, even in Japan, that the same names pop up over and over again like this. Or it could just be that once you've played one superhero it is easy to fall into voicing another. All I really know is that this is the kind of information that gets me kicked out of parties for derailing the small talk with "interesting" facts no one asked to hear."

Berserk is the anti-binge media, folks. I must savor the pain.
Excerpt from the April 4 Popverse Jump that reads, "For me, Berserk is the ultimate anti-binge media. It is not designed to be blasted through in a couple of weeks. Though its 300-plus chapters pale in comparison to One Piece or Naruto, Berserk simply doesn't lend itself to being read at the same pace. The art is too good, for starters, but the story itself is something that needs time to simmer in my mind and soul."

This is the kind of statement that this meme was made for. For the record, you are right. AOT shits the bed so hard in the final parts that it undoes any joy i could find in the first half. Absolute Nazis dogshit.

Two muscular arms clasping hands. One arm says "Anime Fans". The other says "incels". At their hands, it says "not understanding consent".

My Christmas drink this year is Panther M*lk, a vegan version of a Spanish cocktail. Oat milk, gin, and mint.

Fuck if it isn't both very good and very boozy.
