I've just played The Coffin of Andy and Leyley, on the recommendation of two separate people who thought it seemed like my sort of thing.

It is, it turns out, exactly my sort of thing.

The Coffin of Andy and Leyley is a game about the fucked-up and murderous adventures of a pair of codependent, traumatised, isolated siblings, a concept so ( Read more... )

List ten ladies you love, from ten different fandoms.

I was given this challenge on the secret Tumblr where I do nothing but cry about Linkin Park, and I thought I'd reproduce the list here! I tried very hard not to solely list videogame characters. As this was written for my Tumblr, the audience of which largely consists of Linkin Park fans who ( Read more... )

I FINISHED THE ALPHABET FICSNIPPETS.

Recent followers will not be aware of how these alphabet ficsnippets have plagued me for the last half-decade. In 2010, I wrote twenty-six little snippets of fanfiction: the first contained one character whose name started with A and one whose name started with B, the second a B and a C, and so on (A to M, N to ( Read more... )

The text message I sent to th_esaurus early on in my holiday:

The colours in Greece are very bright and warm, like someone's turned up the saturation. On the downside, today I had literal ants in my literal pants.

The message I sent towards the end:

I'M IN ITHACA, FUCK YOU ODYSSEUSSo, yes, I've spent the past week in Greece! On the extremely beautiful ( Read more... )

Now, eleven months later (I am the slowest person in the world), here are the second six ficlets! Fandoms represented are DN Angel, Princess Tutu, Avatar: ( Read more... )

This Revolutionary Girl Utena AMV to 'Brick by Boring Brick' is perhaps the best fanvid I've ever seen. I'd never heard the song before, but it works so well. Major (if confusing) spoilers for the entire Utena anime. I get a bit teary every time I watch it ( Read more... )

So the first series of The Legend of Korra, the sequel to Avatar: The Last Airbender, is now over! I haven't posted about Legend of Korra at all, but I have been watching. Overall, I've enjoyed it a lot! I don't love it quite as much as I did the original Avatar, but I am still very pleased that Legend of Korra exists.

( Notes on Book One of The Legend of Korra. )

Just over a week ago, culf posted an entry speculating on how some of her favourite characters would fare in the Hunger Games. I found this idea interesting, and so I used a random number generator and a numbered list of characters from various fandoms to generate a set of tributes. The results:

Madeleine Hightower (The Mentalist)
Rin Tezuka (Katawa ( Read more... )
