if every ashley in the world came together to support one another it would create one of the purest energies on Earth 🫴 (THANK YOU)
ashley's writing is, as always, too good for any of us. just the best to be doing it right now

i am ashamed to admit the noise i made upon reading 'the enigmatic hunter Sylux is still hatefully pursuing Samus through the stars. He will also soon be an amiibo.'

After 18 years, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is a surprisingly magical return to Nintendo’s legendary series, and I’m all in on psychic abilities and the power of friendship

it’s actually better not to go outside at all when the night starts getting longer, because then the monsters have to find you instead of the other way around 🌚
