Let’s Watch Golden Kamuy S1 E3

So we’re moving onto S1E3 of Golden Kamuy today.  Reminder that I am not trying to speak authoritatively on this group. I am just trying to convey what I have learned through studying firsthand and academic accounts through a century of materials. This is also not a beat-by-beat retelling of each episode. These are just […]

Autism Awareness vs Acceptance: The Difference And Why It Matters

[image source] As many people know, April is Autism Awareness Month. There many days and months strewn about the calendar year with “awareness” tacked onto them.

Pokémon Presents News

Today was an exciting day for Pokémon fans all around the world. It’s been a while since we’ve last had any news about anything but the new Pokémon Snap game. More was revealed about it, namely that it takes place in the Lental region. As a funny sidenote, when I was watching, I was just […]

My Bittersweet Pokemon Journey

Back in 1996, nobody quite knew what would happen when Pokémon Red and Green versions were related. Of course, GameFreak probably hoped it would become huge.

Casey Lee Williams)”. With that song being my complete favorite from RWBY, it was an […]

Totally Biased Look: RWBY V3 OST

This is part of an ongoing series. Please refer to my V1 Soundtrack article for scoring criteria and background information! Wheeee. Also this one gets heavy later on. Fair warning.  And lowkey trigger warning for mentions of abuse. Nothing is in any sort of extreme depth but just…know it’s touched on lightly. Neon [Image source] […]

Totally Biased Look: RWBY V2 OST

This is part of an ongoing series. Please refer to my V1 Soundtrack article for scoring criteria and background information! All right we’re back at it with my thoughts on the V2 soundtrack. This isn’t my personal favorite soundtrack unfortunately. Outside of my top pick, none of the songs really hit a resonance with me. […]
