Johannes VIII's Dreamland

Like I have loved this show for so many years. I have told people it's in my top 3 shows of all time for so long (even though they never know about Infinity Train). I have seen every episode so many, many times despite rarely being a person to rewatch tv shows.

And no matter how many times I watch it, no matter how many times I finish it, the ache it leaves behind is genuinely as painful as it was the first time when this show ended in 2021. It's not even just that the pain is because it was cancelled. It just always leaves me so emotional and hollow because it's just such a fantastic piece of media. It is a masterclass in handling character driven narratives. It has such clever and unique world building. It never holds your hand or looks down on its audience, expecting you to connect the dots and piece things together. It tackles such heavy subject matter each and every season with so much love and care. Every single protagonist, whether it's Tulip or Lake or Jesse or Simon or Grace or Min-gi or Ryan, is written with so much nuance and complexity.

hehe i’m excited too!! I hope you enjoy it… so far some testimonials from those who read it are “this is the kind of whump middle school girls write happening to their faves” (mal i assume that was a compliment???); “I wish ryan could know the term ‘malding’ because amelia is fucking malding’”; “you just wrote 16k of amelia and ryan fighting like two rats in a tiny cage”

Unrelated have some amelia doodles I’m trying to practice drawing her

Yapping about whatever

10 years already... time flies by, and as someone who heavily self-inserted as Frisk when I was 12, I can't help but feel like they must have been growing alongside me. I'm already 22, I can no longer wear stripes...
