    30 day challenge

    Ahhh, Cowboy Bebop … I said this on the challenge’s main page, but this series basically ruined all other anime for me. My expectations are high – from a storytelling perspective to animation style to voice acting, Cowboy Bebop is essentially flawless. Naturally, I’ll be talking some shit about it a little bit later –…

    Glutton for punishment, I suppose, but yes, I’m going to try to complete NaNo again this year. The likelihood that my word count will suffer due to my schoolwork, burgeoning mental health journey, spiritual study, and various other things that my brain constantly thinks about, but hey, at least I’m trying. Also, be on the…

    Well, that was bracing. I will definitely be talking about a few of the movies from last week in more depth when I get a chance, but for now, it’s onto Week Two. Oh, and correction from last week! I realized that I had misspoken when I said I hadn’t ever seen Vampire Hunter D:…

    In a bid to keep myself accountable in my creative pursuits whilst in nursing school, I’m going to make myself some additional challenges. Naturally, school does have to come first, so I may have to fudge some things, but my plan is to watch at least one horror movie per day throughout the entire month…

  • 31 day star wars challenge, day 31: in which star wars inspires me …

    I really can’t think of any other piece of cinema or literature that has influenced me in the way that Star Wars has. It was my first love and remains a comfort for me. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve been able to look at it more critically than I did when I first saw it,…

  • 31 day star wars challenge, day 30: in which I discuss what I’d like to see next …

    I mean, I feel like this is a cheat post since there are about five million TV shows coming out soon, but hey, I’ll take a stab at this: I want to see more of the extended universe that was turned into Star Wars Legends become canon. I want me some Mara Jade, some Teneniel…

  • 31 day star wars challenge, day 29: in which I discuss prequels vs originals vs sequels …

    I am going to sum this up to avoid a tldr: I love the originals, the prequels are terrible yet enjoyable for the most part (almost in a spiteful way), and the sequels are … their own thing. Now for the longer version: It’s difficult to compare the three trilogies: they’re products of different times…

  • 31 day star wars challenge, day 28: in which I wish a character got more screen time …

    I have many questions about Mon Mothma, one of the only prominent female players in the original movies (other than Leia), and she didn’t even show up until Return of the Jedi. We know so little about her, even though she is a founder of the Rebellion: 1) where has she been for two movies…

  • 31 day star wars challenge, day 27: in which I have a favorite battle …

    I initially chose the Pit of Carkoon battle from Return of the Jedi as my favorite battle before I realized LOL I already used that as my favorite scene from the movie, so … I had to choose again and am going with Battle of Endor, again from Return of the Jedi. I know that…

  • 31 day star wars challenge, day 26: in which there is something I hate that everyone else loves …

    I get that Star Wars is supposedly made for kids, per those exact words coming out of George Lucas’ mouth, and that’s fine. Its universal appeal is why the fictional universe has managed to stay as popular as it has, despite the very egregious missteps they’ve made with a few of the films. But! That…
