Been meaning to ask, but got any show / book recommendations? Trying to find some new stuff to watch and read.

Oh ooo a chance to influence and drag someone into my interests hmmm. Okay my list got a bit long dsvkncjhfk

Anime:

My Hero Academia (themes of friendship, what it means to help others, and pushing yourself to be the best version of you)

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (themes of the value of life, vengeance vs mercy, what it means to be human)

Mob Psycho 100 (themes of learning to relate to others, being a better version of yourself, a coming of age story. Also psychic powers.)

The World Ends With You (also a video game which is a better fleshed out version of it) (themes of the nature of humans, friendship, and willingness for self growth.)

Movies:

Castle in the Sky (and every other Ghibli movie) (themes of love, duty, and man's hubris)

Into the Spiderverse (and the other movies) (themes of love—friendship and parental, coming into your own, and sacrifice)

Suzume (themes of love, sacrifice and duty)

The Dark Crystal (good vs evil, innocence and sin)

The Labyrinth (growing up, and learning to care for others)

The Last Unicorn (mortality, humans and loss of innocence)

Kubo and the Two Strings (growing up, truly loving others, forgiveness, family, and the power of stories)

The Secret of Kells (very vibey. Bravery, doing right in the face of conflict)

The Song of the Sea (family, grieving, hope and love)

The Ashland: In the Hall of the Mountain King (fun folktale adventure, bravery and value of perspective)

Shows:

Trollhunters (duty, sacrifice, many trolls)

Doctor Who (humanity, compassion, courage, aliens)

Star Trek (The Original Series) (what it means to be human, friendship, wacky adventures)

Lupin (fun heist story, consequences of your failings, racism)

Arcane (adult and grimdark so look up details)(not a huge fan of how it ended but there's a lot of craftsmenship in it) (can someone become so fallen they can never be redeemed or loved? our choices affect others, change starts you)

Squid Game (TVMA violence and a tragedy, but I love a sad story) (greed and the depravity of man, value of life)

Musical:

Hadestown (love, learning to love again, sacrifices of love, also capitalism)

The Phantom of the Opera (selfish love vs sacrificial love, my work place is haunted)

Books:

The Great and Terrible Quest (courage, compassion, going beyond your limits)

The Scarlet Pimpernel (romance, learning humility, silly adventure)

Howl's Moving Castle (you need to face your flaws and fears to grow, you are holding yourself back, and love, also do your taxes)

The Green Ember (loyalty, courage in the face of fear, sacrifice, hope, and encouraging others)

I hope some of these suggestions work for you! :D

I think we were born for what we were born to be and we’re here to be what God has planned. But at the same time we’re also here to figure and create our own destiny and shape our own future. I think that’s the special confusion that we get from ‘free will’ but it’s only confusing because we live in this make believe concept of time that the universe doesn’t live by. So it’s ok to not know what your purpose is now or not know where you’re suppose to be in life because I think this is still the beginning. you’re looking at your now thinking this is all you have. God looked at your future like this is all that’s possible.. this is what will come. And how does God know? Because of what you’re doing now to get there. The everyday work you put in, the everyday effort... in the now. In the present. God sees the now and how it will affect the then..the future. now I see, if everyday you’re putting in the effort to get closer to that destination over the hill, over the mountain, across that bridge.. and you’re keeping the faith that you will find your way over the mountain, across that bridge.. it may take some time… days, months, years even.. you may fail, make mistakes, and maybe even lose sometimes.. but eventually, if you keep going, you cross that top... you accomplish that goal, you hit that next level. You get THERE. wherever there is for you. But you only get there if you remain resilient, you remain patient, and you don’t forget that God is within and Faith in Self IS Faith in God.
