I'm currently in the midst of (recovering from?) a fibro/fatigue flare. got a rash all over my back again this time, too. yippee. 🙄 but at least i finally got to see the grown-up versions of the original samurai troopers. I've waited 12 episodes for these middle-aged men ☺️

This first half of the season for ysst has been interesting, for various values of the word, and I can understand why it's not landing for some of the old rw/yst fans, but I've had fun with it. I look forward to new episodes this summer and hope we'll get to spend a little time with the original troopers.

Until then, I have time to consider things like how they will adapt to returning to the world after 5 years of being trapped in the youjakai or what they've done with their lives since their series since it kinda seems like we're ignoring the oavs, or at least ignoring the new armors from Message 🤔

dammit, the gay hockey show is pretty good, actually. also, of all the fucking moments the first episode could've stopped to buffer on me 🤣

I just finished the last couple episodes of The Vampire Lestat. I will not be going into the tags because I don't have the spoons for haters, and I really enjoyed the show. But know that I would be reblogging many posts about it if my brain was in better condition 🩸

This took entirely too long, as I instantly forgot every movie I've ever seen, so most of these are subject to change if you catch me on a different day.

i never thought i would be so invested in the romance between a hobgoblin and an owlbear, but here we are 🧚

finished watching Sandman. i went in blind, with only a tangential familiarity with most of the source material. what knowledge i have is from being a young comics fan in the 90s who read Wizard magazine regularly for years, and having read most of the Lucifer series some years ago.

the show started off pretty good, and i mostly enjoyed the first half (episodes 1-6). the second half felt like a different, worse show. the abrupt shift to the vortex story arc turned it into mediocre magical realism, and gave the feeling they tried to cram two seasons' plots into one season in case they didn't get greenlit for another.

i really wanted more exploration of the unique Sandman mythos. more of the Dreaming, more of the various Endless, less human drama that i could see from any other media. you're making a series about extraordinary beings (and introducing scores of them who end up having so little to do with anything), so let them be extraordinary!

i also fully understand why they couldn't have John Constantine, but i fucking hated Johanna, damn

i closed last night at work, came home entirely awake, and proceeded to watch the remaining ~3.5 hours of this week's critical role. i also have to be at work again in about 3 hours now, lol

it was worth it, though, because calamity is very good. one scene where Brennan got to give a long monologue had me absolutely riveted, and i can't wait to rewatch it.

before anyone gets het up about me not having enough time between shifts, i chose this. i want to go in early so i can actually do my own job for once this week instead of covering other people's departments.
