All this done while reading the Wikipedia page on the noble African chaffinch.

(some guy on the internet voice) it's so unrealistic and forced when women win fights against men in stories. of course, when a young boy defeats a huge man I'm cheering and screaming because it is so badass, and when a frail old man defeats a cocky young warrior I feel nothing but satisfaction. I love these power fantasies about easily dispatching people who underestimate you, a thing I desire despite the fact that I will likely never have the skill to achieve it in real life, but I'm pretty sure women don't have that same desire, and even if they do, they shouldn't get to see it in media. because it's so unrealistic, you see. I mean I'm smart enough to know I can't take down a big man in a fight but the women, you know, they'll get ideas. I could probably do it if I trained hard enough, but the women??? for some reason I can't see it happening, and who can say why that is.

as someone who worked for a year at the hospital that ptmc is based on/partially filmed at (allegheny general in pittsburgh!), i need everyone to know that one floor above the er there’s a sickeningly cute cafe that sells elaborately flavored lattes with cold foam. cannot stop thinking about what everyone’s orders would be…

garashir is a hard sell to people who aren’t already interested in science fiction and fantasy style media because i have to earnestly convince them that the scaly old lizard man who looks like he is coated in grey fondant is somehow charismatic and engaging enough that you would want to speculate on his romantic and sexual interests and be compelled by them.

im sorry but what other anime can like replicate the absolute cinema of death note. the omnious latin chanting. the blatant mental health disorders of every single character. the saucy trombone as ppl drop dead. the swoosh of the pen, hand jerking around, arm fully extended. the fucking helicopter shootouts over literally a notebook. the dark catholic imagery. the typeface. the significance of a single letter. the sexy lesbian goth model with a bubbly personality and undiagnosed bpd. ok. the autistic honor student who has to be god or else he really is a criminal. the autistic detective who immediately solves the mystery and nobody believes him. the dramatic irony of every aspect. the bury ur gays trope. the bury most of the cast. the diabolical laughter of a shinigami with a gay earring and snatched waist with a crippling apple addiction who set up the whole show. random bondage. ok. doomed yuri. doomed yaoi. everyone who uses this book is doomed.
