I don't necessarily think it's *good*. I feel like Ishida's depiction of action is fluid but I often find myself getting lost between panels... but there's something really grim about it as a story that's really compelling

Between this and the fact that the first series feels like it's basically About eating disorders (I think?? I know I'm being reductive here) Tokyo Ghoul is one of the more interesting things I've read this year

I was thinking more and more about the various trans motifs/themes in Tokyo Ghoul and then it hit me with this (almost reaction meme-worthy) panel

also funny that i've been playing this game for about 1/5 of the time blanca has and i'm finding stuff she missed, like the horse guy on the treadmill. ahhhhh this game is so good

underworks is unironically my fave area in silksong so far, both from a gameplay and a lore perspective. such a well designed experience and an enjoyably grim struggle

stunned that the home secretary's proposal to reform the UK immigration system involves... mandatory volunteer work in order to remain in the country? so if you're an immigrant you're just automatically part of a class of unpaid servile workers now?? what the fuck are we doing???

This was the first holiday to Spain where I feel like I properly cracked conversational Spanish (both with family and with strangers). Its still pretty limited and most strangers default to English anyway when they see how I look but I feel proud that I can express myself more.

Although a horrible thought has leaked into my brain with this reading of the story - that Kurotsuchi is basically the blueprint for rick sanchez
