Books, Taylor Swift, and other hyperfixations
When I get bored, I seek out book tags. I mean, I have IDEAS and stuff, but they're all so SERIOUS and my chest gets tight when I watch the news. I need to have fun. Obviously, that means knitting while bingeing "What/If." In terms of book tags... ...SUSY MADE A GALAVANT BOOK TAG!!! Have… Continue reading Galavant Book Tag
Alabama passed a law on Monday that effectively bans abortion as early as 6 weeks into a pregnancy. Yesterday, the governor of Alabama signed the bill into law. This morning, I saw the news: Missouri passed a similar bill right after the governor's decision. In both states, no exceptions exist for rape or incest. 28… Continue reading US Abortion Bans
In 2012, I came across a drawing of the Sailor Senshi with their season 1 nemeses the Shittenou. I didn't think much of it. I considered it author art. If I were a mangaka, I would draw speculative crack ships ALL the TIME. Then, through rumor and conjecture, I learned this drawing referenced a scrapped… Continue reading How to Ship the Sailor Senshi
In December 2016, having JUST moved to Seattle, I decided to do all my Christmas shopping at Kinokuniya Book Store. Conveniently located AND full of fun knickknacks? Call me a Christmas GENIUS. In truth, this plan excused endless browsing of items I couldn't afford, such as stuffed sharks, long socks, and English-translated manga. One day,… Continue reading A Sailor Moon Story
I rewatched Viz Media's 2015 dub of the original Sailor Moon anime. These were my thoughts. Season 1, Part 1 Summary: Luna: USAGI. Pull yourself together and save the world! Rei: USAGI!!! WHY ARE YOU SO INCOMPETENT? YOU'RE A COMPLETE TRAINWRECK. Tuxedo Mask: You can do it! Believe in yourself! Usagi: You're right, Tuxedo Mask!… Continue reading Revisiting Sailor Moon: Season 1, Part 1
So listen. My initial list of favorites took a problematic turn. In a show all about girl power, my favorite characters were mostly men. That's as bad as only liking Adam from Girls. So I balanced my list out, hence 6 characters instead of 5. I'm trying to make up for being a Bad Feminist. … Continue reading Top 6 Favorite Sailor Moon Characters
This is a Sailor Moon blog now. You came here for book tags or faith confessions? Sorry. All Sailor Moon, all the time. At least until I run out of Sailor Moon-inspired ideas. Despite taking place in the '90s, Sailor Moon boasts some excellent fashion choices. I compiled a list of my ten favorite fashion hits, along with some unfortunate missteps...… Continue reading Sailor Moon Fashion Corner
I've loved Sailor Moon since I was 6 years old. As a fan, I have opinions. Though I love many of the show's characters, a few of them prompt a massive eyeroll from me. Hateful as it sounds, these are the 5 Sailor Moon characters I hate the most. (Spoilers ahead.) 5. Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune (For… Continue reading Top 5 Least Favorite Sailor Moon Characters
I didn't watch any Netflix last week. Now I'm behind on "Elite"! I keep adding things to my queue, knowing I can never watch it all. Is this aspirational or pathetic? Should I feel guilty for not watching more TV? It's CONFUSING. Anyway, books. This is based on my (too-full queue) and inspired by Book… Continue reading Netflix Book Tag
I just found a wonderful, trashy, perfect new show. Netflix claimed it was a 97% match for me. I began watching with blind trust. The show is called "Elite." Set in Spain, it follows three scholarship students who've just transferred to a fancy new school. The first episode opens with one of these students walking… Continue reading Why I love Netflix’s “Elite”
