Of Artists, Minstrels & Drowning Friends

How far would you go to save a friend? We never expect it will be that far; that it will be too far, and will push beyond the bounds of what we’re willing or have the capacity to offer. Instead, somehow, it will always be doable in the moment and we won’t really have to… Read More Of Artists, Minstrels & Drowning Friends

Kyousuke Natsume and Meeting the Crucified Christ (II)

Kyousuke is back, yet again. He lies over the table of the school canteen, tired—more so than he has ever been. The Refrain route, the last one, is about to begin. It is the last chance: Life, death, friendship, the past, the future, love and treason are all going to play out now. If only he… Read More Kyousuke Natsume and Meeting the Crucified Christ (II)

Silence, Star Wars, and Someone Else’s Sacrifice

Deep within me, there’s a longing to be a superhero. I think it’s the same with many of us, which helps explain the popularity of the MCU, shounen anime, and Star Wars. And for me, this feeling extends not only to the traditional idea of physically saving people, but to other aspects of life, like… Read More Silence, Star Wars, and Someone Else’s Sacrifice

Kurisu and the Credit I’m Due

Well, it happened. Like the original series, Steins;gate 0 has been on a steady rise, getting a little more heartbreaking each episode, a little more uncomfortable, a little more edge-of-your-seat, but never really slamming me with the feels—not until now that is. Episode eight does it. Boy does it do it. Warning: spoilers ahead for… Read More Kurisu and the Credit I’m Due

ACCA: The Cost of Trust

Despite what people believe about happy endings, whether they think they’re the paragon of a good series or trite and boring, they can be done well. They have come to be what we expect in all stories, even if they are poorly written. As we now arrive at the point leading to ACCA’s conclusion, it… Read More ACCA: The Cost of Trust

Final Fantasy XV and the Cross

In spite of expressing some skepticism about the game in a recent podcast here, Final Fantasy XV quickly won me over once I started playing it. It was much better than I felt it had a right to be, and for the first time in at least a decade, I found myself getting attached to… Read More Final Fantasy XV and the Cross

Annalyn’s Corner: My Body is Not My Own

My pastor talked about serving others yesterday. As he did, I realized how selfish I’ve been about maintaining unhealthy habits. Any of you who’ve stuck around here long enough know that finding and keeping good routines is an ongoing struggle for me. Yesterday, I was forced to confront how that affects multiple areas of my… Read More Annalyn’s Corner: My Body is Not My Own

Season one of Rent-a-Girlfriend was a trainwreck, which is exactly what made it so much fun. It was bonkers in its audacity to make someone like Kazuya the protagonist, and unrepentant in how messed up he is while still giving him a harem.
