Hey there! Please consider checking out some of the essays I’ve written:

Schrödinger's box, Pandora's cat, and other mysteries that should remain unsolved - This two-part essay is a rumination on our innate psychological need for closure and, by that metric, certainty in our desperately uncertain world. But beyond that, it is a deep dive into how the pursuit of certainty can yield horrors beyond our imagination, as analyzed through the manga Golden Kamuy, the 2018 film The Mountain, the 1988 film The Vanishing, and The Eff★ect, a play by Lu★cy Preb★ble. (Posted on 10/11/25).

The Fat Ass Kelly Price Episode of Catfish is a Shakespearean Tragedy (and Yes I Can Prove It) - This essay is an interesting rumination on not just Shakespeare but also blackness, misogynoir, and a reality TV moment that gives Iago a run for his money. (Posted 5/18/25)

The Goliad Dilemma - A four-part essay analyzing Donquixote Doflamingo and Donquixote Rocinante from One Piece, Millions Knives and Vash the Stampede from Trigun, Johan and Nina from Naoki Urasawa's Monster, Hyakunosuke Ogata and Yuusaku Hanazawa from Golden Kamuy through the Episode Goliad from Adventure Time. (Posted on 9/15/24)

The Many Apocalypses of Red Dead Redemption 2 - This essay explores the concept of what it means to exist during an age of tragedy and how one can move from being a witness to suffering to actively working to ease the suffering of others. It’s rooted in my experiences playing Red Dead Redemption 2 while the world crumbled apart in front of me. (Posted 12/5/23)

Good or Yourself: A Deconstruction of the Horrors of Identity - This essay explores horror of identity and how the lack of identity can turn everyday people into "monsters" as seen through the 1957 film Fear Strikes Out and the Manga Blood on the Tracks. (Posted 9/18/23)

Narrative Sinkholes - In this essay, I describe a phenomenon I've dubbed Narrative Sinkholes and how it presents itself in Arrested Development, Kidding, and Black Sails. (Posted 4/29/23)

This list will be updated as I continue to publish my essays, but you can stay notified on my next release by subscribing to my substack!

Lastly, here’s a link to my google drive full of resources regarding the entertainment industry! I’ve taken extensive notes during my internships/entertainment jobs and they’ve helped me land interviews at high profile entertainment companies. There’s also a ton of scripts (features and pilots), screenwriting resources, career/internship resources (great for learning how to break in), general info on how TV/Films are made, plus some resources on narrative design/video games! Check it out and I hope it’s helpful to you.

guarma wasnt that much of a dutch in shining armour moment for javier because he sounded frustrated with what dutch kept saying about next things on the boat back and i wish they kept this dialogue in the game so that it made obvious to people of javier being more aware how much of a scam everything is. instead of getting away he latched onto him harder because thats what he's known for the past 4 years. hes mentally isolated to some degree, nobody's comforting him about how nervous he is about dutch but dutch, that's one of the only times he softens in ch6, he still doesn't have faith in his plans because he knows they should be doing things differently and he brings it up too, he's lashing out on people (john's allies) seeming all jolly and good with their escape plans when he doesn't have any. he is the one who approaches arthur, abigail (before uncle interrupted, he was going straight to her) and charles on faith conversations, but he usually sits silent with john looking at him (cue dutch faith conversation) until john begins the conversation and fails at appealing to javier. i think javier's open hatred for john's family in rdr1 and ch6 tracks to me. and that conversation about "these people ain't your family... who are they" john is aware of javier's actual faith that he masks by telling everyone to lock in on loyalty but john communicates it terribly. "He went crazy. It was like the one thing he'd ever believed in turned out to be a fraud."
