  • Been trying to get back into animation as it used to be a huge passion of mine. Went to see The Wild Robot and thought it was visually gorgeous, and I appreciated that it kept a consistent sentimental tone. Lately I feel like a lot of movies have this snarky self-deprecating humor and don’t try to be sincere until the end of the second act, and it’s nice to see a break from that.

    Also it’s just a 15-minute series made to sell a video game, so there’s no real resolution, but I enjoyed Shadow the Hedgehog: Dark Beginnings. I haven’t seen Shadow written with any sentimentality in a while, and the fight scenes were fun to watch. Add some sweet and funny interactions with Rouge and my inner 12-year-old is happy.











  • I got Sonic X Shadow Generations as an early birthday present 🥹 I’m no good at Sonic games that use boost and drift controls, plus I’ve been busy, so I’m taking my time playing through the story, but it was a sweet present and I’m feeling super nostalgic.

    Plus it’s nice to see Shadow being written better. Sega’s own writers have been pretty vocal about hating how they’re told to write him. It seems like Sega’s finally starting to ease up and letting them inject a little more emotion into the silly Shonen animal series again.




  • Nah, I’m pretty tired of the whole idea that liking animals is a prerequisite to being a good person. I was raised by an animal hoarder and I’ve had people lose their shit at me for saying I don’t like birds, or that I don’t date bird owners because I don’t want to live with birds.

    I’ve never been cruel to a bird but I’ve had to tell casual acquaintances about my fucked up childhood to get them off my case. That’s not fair. Maybe don’t judge people for such pointless shit.
