dream job is to be an imprisoned criminal whom the detectives always come to for help to catch other criminals and in exchange i ask increasingly intimate and invasive questions about their personal life. seems like such a cushy deal

still making my way through severance and it's fucked up they made me forget adam scott is still quite good looking until i got to the flashbacks and his hair is shorter. they just chose to give him that ugly ass haircut for the majority of the show

remembered that my sister used to be a huge fan of buffy the vampire slayer back in the day and she once remarked "she fights demons more often than vampires tbh. they shoulda called her buffy the demon slayer" and now it got me like

best part of my latest wuxia reading is when the heroine's talking to a dying kung fu master like "ok fine, fine, i'm willing to learn your style so that the knowledge isn't lost, pass on your legacy. but um, quick question. are we married to the name or. does it HAVE to be called dog beater style"

i love that with how fate grand order has such eccentric designs and personalities for all their characters, it makes the designated Normal Guy stick out that much more. like i fucking love yagyu so much. his design is Just Some Guy. he doesn't even have a weird personality either, he's just chill

[casual route]

me initially seeing the CG and thinking "oh how cute, it's like that one movie. oh god what was it called again, it's literally one of my favorites--MOTHERFUCKER"

"Back again? How nice to see you, Takumi."

"A criminal trapped in a cage assisting with an investigation... I think that movie swept the Oscars. The protagonist got advice about her case from a serial killer doctor. Eito might be able to rival him in terms of sheer lunacy. Come to think of it... Didn't the doctor escape his prison in the end?"

the right shot pc culture dead and marvel STILL won't put shang-chi's original comics on marvel unlimited, i don't even get that much out of the death of woke. cause yeah i'm sure those old comics are racist as fuck but it's not like you guys are giving me many other asian-led comics!!!

i love wuxia!!! i love kung fu!!! nothing new to add compared to the previous volumes but it genuinely is really satisfying to read such formative works of chinese genre fiction and feel yourself becoming mr worldwide in real time. kung fu expands your mind
