Spotted at the Cathedral of St Michael and St Gudula in Brussels, this inexplicable diorama featuring the three most revered holy women in Catholicism: the Virgin Mary, Asuka Langley Soryu, and Tsumugi Kotobuki (Side Ponytail ver.). No, there is no missing context. I'm as puzzled as you are.
When you have to run back to your ships chased by unspeakable horrors for the third time in like an hour, you know this is by far the worst road trip you and the bros have ever been on. letterboxd.com/aquagaze/fil...
A ★★★★½ review of The Odyssey (2026)
Absolutely phenomenal. Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is the rare film that can both satisfyingly flaunt its mastery of the traditions of its medium, and challenge audiences with distinctly post-mode...

Still frustrated by the distinctly Gen-X libertarianism of The Ghost in The Shell, but the latest episode did allow me to put aside my gripes with the technobabble and enjoy the pulp. For the first time it felt as if the wild tone swings actually fit Science SARU's zany and colorful production.
Hey, Crazy! It's Marvin! Your cousin, Marvin Frog! You know that new sound you were looking for? Well listen to THIS!
mental illness really is a fucking scam what do you mean it's this hard for me to motivate myself to start playing a video game, which is an activity i love and have enjoyed for most of my life,

I Don't care about what I've said about spending 40 bucks on cardboard, woman come No. 1. We all owe our extremely ill-advised purchases to wemon.
Very funny how I've been working on this ambitious magical fantasy writing project for like 15 years now and the thing I have written for it that I am by far the most proud of is an extremely throwaway subplot about two side characters who are just regular-ass people reconciling after a bad breakup.
This might be our longest episode ever and it might be my fault.

Spent most of today updating the playlist with my favourite songs of all time and guess what? Turns out music is really good!
This particular show was unfortunately not very good, but this anime season already has an impressive number of excellent, gorgeous and charming shows I can't wait to see more of. Anime always seems to come around the second you start wondering if it's all worth it.
First Look: Sparks of Tomorrow In an alternate history Kyoto where electricity still fails to outpace steam power by the start of the 20th century, tinkerer Kihachi Sakamoto crosses paths with the gullible Inako Momokawa, whose family has come into the possession of Kichachi's missing brother's…
Finished Horizon: Zero Dawn Remastered. Woof. A game with excellent worldbuilding it completely fails to deliver in an engaging way, and a great core gameplay idea it utterly shits the bed trying to get you to enjoy.
Being a Kyoto Animation fan is really hard sometimes.

You're laughing. My favourite Japanese band, DRUGS, have announced that they are calling it quits and you're laughing.

A heinously depressing thread. Like a chat log you find wandering the wasteland of a fascist dystopia in a video game, using all the subtlety of a shotgun blast to tell you how and why people just let it happen. Pop culture communities need to be better. boardgamegeek.com/thread/37315...

You don't need me to tell you this, but trans athletes deserve the dignity and respect to pursue their athletic hobbies/careers, both casually and professionally. Fuck these eugenicists that say otherwise. And don't even get me started on how much this bullshit is gonna affect cis women of color.
Thanks to everyone who listened in to us, and of course extra special thanks to @aquagaze.bsky.social and @gee-man.bsky.social for indulging me.
Though it's occasionally been stressful, putting the show together has absolutely been one of the most enjoyable creative endeavours of my life, and I hope it stands as a testament to the love and devotion we have towards this show and these characters.
The final episode of Blue Mondays is out! On this monster-sized conclusion we discuss drinking Jägermeister straight, Super Sephiroth, those damn kids and their phones, and what to do when you're attacked with a katana in the Cracker Barrel parking lot.
Blue Mondays Episode 30: Chopped & Mid & Washed We have come to the end of our ride on the trapar waves as Zigg & Aqua watch the classic 2005 mecha anime Psalms of Planets Eureka Seven, and discuss their thoughts and feelings on it as it celebrates its 20th birthday. Keep an eye out for this…

Hey, it's me, Tom Holland. I'm here to tell you that I personally demanded Marvel make my next Spider-Man adventure a low-key, street-level story about Peter Parker's personal struggles. Anyways, here's a trailer featuring like eight different villains and also The Hulk.
