• born in 1997. bisexual thing. she/it pronouns (sheeeit...!)

• these days I'm mostly into books, music, and movies, but I still experience the occasional anime/manga. I like alternative stuff in general. Back into writing fanfic too

• I'm waist-deep in Tales from the Gas Station soup right now and my brain is only slicing up even more carrots for the cauldron. you can filter "tftgs" and "jackerry" and "gas station sandwich" and you'll probably block my reblogs and most of my original posts but definitely not all of it so

• ao3 is mafuyama but probably don't click if I know you irl. I can't stop you. Really don't if you're a minor though

• no dni but I'm quick to block avid conservatives and liberals and other vehement holders of opinions that clash directly with my own. there's nsfw content here too though so no minors. it varies in frequency

currently reading: gotta be honest I've been completely inconsistent since I finished the tftgs audiobooks. Click the hyperlink for stuff I'm partway through

books recently completed: sky daddy by kate folk

favorite authors: jack townsend, jason pargin

next on the reading docket: whatever discworld books I can get my hands on, whatever necroscope books I can get my hands on, the latter two southern reach books, and tbd. there's a lot - I keep buying books. I also preordered There Are No Giant Crabs in This Novel, Jason Pargin, because of course I did? so I will be rereading all of jdate probably late summer

currently watching: severance

series recently completed/caught up with: succession, pluribus

series to watch next: true detective (rewatch. go past s1 this time? lol)

movies recently watched: robocop, the terminator, weapons (wow btw!), the ballad of buster scruggs, the crazies (rewatch), honey don't (and I shouldn't have), the substance

movies to watch next: american beauty, ginger snaps, beau is afraid, suspiria (2018 - rewatch), hereditary (rewatch)

currently on repeat 🎶: apple patch by goon, oxygen by bayonne, palship by r missing, post hang by new translations, battery lifer by saintseneca, we are all we need by joywave, and I've also rediscovered the magic of the birthday massacre's album fascination

fav artists 🎶: sleigh bells, the birthday massacre, grouplove, nothing but thieves, tr/st, johnny goth, your neighbors, men I trust, awolnation, the pale white, meltt, islands, lower dens, kitten, metric, r. missing, pixel grip, wes parker

I also keep myanimelist up to date on all my slow-but-sure anime & manga consumption :-)

*slaps my big book of things I love about Jack down onto the table. it looks suspiciously like the entire series condensed into one book. before u can ask where I got it, I start speaking:* another thing I love about Jack is not just how nerdy he is but the way in which he is nerdy. the math and reading stuff is endearing (scene where he out-metaphors Calvin my beloved) but he's notably Not an insufferable nerd (despite what Spencer may claim). doesn't correct people (unless they deserve it) – probably because he doubts himself, which is also endearing. doesn't say shit like 'small talk is overrated 🙄', instead spots his weakness and gives it the ol college try. says talking to others in general is tedious and difficult at times but is still a genuine guy (to the best of his ability) and will give u the time of day. I just like the way he goes about life and am super stoked he gets to do so indefinitely

I read the Zoey Ashe series casually over like five weeks in the spring, it almost gave me fandom brain again, and at the very least restored my faith in my ability to get lost in books. Definitely gave me the confidence to buy physical copies of all four John Dies at the End books while knowing nothing about them aside from Jason Pargin's brain being behind the curtain. I'm now basically done with the fourth volume in less than three weeks and I already feel the void coming. Gonna to have to fill it with other satire that probably won't hit as hard. Gonna have to write the author and tell him what his stuff has done for me. I haven't been fixated on any media in years at this point but I wanna live in the JDATE world!!

My favourite part of The Obsession is when you start saying things that sound either completely incoherent or really generic with the tone and energy that it's a world-shattering event that haunts your every waking moment 'cause I can only imagine that it's really funny to an outside observer

i love when i reblog a mutual's post and then they immediately reblog one of mine. it's the closest thing to sharing orange slices you can get on this website.

Kristof Kintera - all my bad thoughts

realistically there are plenty of ways u could argue for and against the canon-ness of Jack Jerry Rosa becoming something between friends and lovers together but if one thing is for sure it's that u cannot drive cross country indefinitely with two other people who u do not really really Really really like. just something to consider Something to stick in ur pipe and smoke
