Four Christmas movies to know me by:

The gray gentlemen in the old illustrated edition of Momo (written by Michael Ende) look so creepy! But they are the manipulative and sinister villains of the story, so the design is quite fitting.

What a cutie ❤️

A friend of mine told me that the current waitlist for admission into the inpatient child/teen ED unit is insanely long. They are not allowed to watch Wicked on movie days, but they can discuss the broadway show. Staff isn’t allowed to play her music and patients aren’t allowed to talk about Grande😶

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

The thing about CrunchyRoll’s enshittification is that normally I’m a big proponent of supporting official channels but if the money from subscriptions isn’t being used to pay talent and labour and the quality suffers as a result, then morally what’s the purpose of supporting those official means?

New blog! SECRETS OF THE SILENT WITCH is an exercise in executing familiar fantasy tropes in very engaging and refreshing ways, and no one exemplifies that better than its supposedly "overpowered" heroine Monica. Read my analysis here!

oooooh this one looks adorable 😍

Just so it's clear. It's not allowing AI because it's trying to create a clean dataset for training AI. It's not because any of the involved parties actually care about human created art. Demons can lie to you. You have to rebuke them categorically, rather than fold when they say the right words.

Champagne Problems on Netflix.. Great romance, awful comedy. The two leads had good chemistry and I really enjoyed their scenes. The father/son conflict was handled well too, but everything else was meh. The comedy in new(-ish) rom-coms is always a miss for me and I don't like that 😭

A few days ago I found the DVD of "Quest of Camelot", a childhood favorite of mine, on a flea market for 50ct. I still like Kayley & Gareth individually and as a couple, and the villain was seriously unhinged with his eye twitch but very entertaining. The dragons were annoying tho.

The new trailer of Atelier of Witch Hat looks so good!

Live autotune and pitch correction needs to stop! It should come with a big fat disclaimer how the live performance was altered or "enhanced", as people in the industry like to say, especially on TV but also at concerts.

fuck AI

that’s what I’ve been saaaayying maaan

I got Viva Piñata DS for 6€ (pre-owned) 😍 I was obsessed with the game when I was a kid and I played it all the time. I wish the IP wouldn't have disappeared because it's such a great cozy game imo..

Champignon no Majo Vol. 1 ❤️ Cozy Fantasy just how I like it <:

I will never understand people who hatewatch something. Why waste your time with something you dislike? 🙄

"caring about the characters, knowing what they want…why they can't get it and you giving a damn about that…ultimately that's what carries the weight. it's not all the clever mystery bullshit, it's whether you connect emotionally with that character" that’s a proper storyteller, man

I just finished my rewatch of Mona Lisa Smile and I forgot how much I adore this movie

The 13th (OVA) episode of Natsume’s Book of Friends S7 is finally available and it's focused on young Natori and Matoba shows up as well!

Reposting since Wikipedia removed demo listings on their site

Imo Miss Potter is the perfect definition of a wholesome movie. There is some sadness but so much more happiness, and a happy ending as well. Also, the cinematography is top-notch and the landscape of the english countryside is really beautifully captured 😍

This is so inspiring and proof of the transformative power of books: #kidlit #picturebooks #libraries #books #read #booksky #fiction #litfic #FreedomReads

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

I'm in the mood for another Tsurune rewatch. It's such an underrated anime and deserves so much more attention 😭❤️

I don’t know how many times I have to say this but if you didn’t know any geek girls in high school or you don’t know any now it’s because they didn’t trust you and you’re *NOT A SAFE PERSON* for women to be themselves around.

KyoAni's Sparks of Tomorrow anime, announced in 2018 based on the 20 Seiki Denki Mokuroku novel, will air next year starring Yūma Uchida and Sora Amamiya!

Y’all, Spotify’s stock price sunk by 5% in 1 day. YOU did this by spreading the word to boycott them for running ICE ads. These billionaires only speak one language—money—so let’s keep up the pressure. Tell everyone you know to cancel their Spotify subscriptions. Send them to BoycottSpotify.com.

I would have bought so many tickets for that movie.. 😭

I want genAI to die. I want this AI trend to die. I want features like photo filters to go back to being called what they are and not AI. I want real art to feel valuable and real artists to be valued. I want photography and filmmaking and art and design and I want voice acting and editing. Not bots

Who Saw The Peacock Dance in the Jungle Vol. 4 ❤️ I'm really paranoid when I'm reading this manga 😅 Is Person X pretending to be someone their not, was Person Y framed, was someone given a hidden GPS tracker? And so much more. But having all these questions makes it so much fun to read!

Tales of Reincarnation in Maydare Vol. 9 ❤️ This volume ended way too fast.. it was so much fun 😭 Getting to know more about Airi was interesting and there was a reveal I didn't see coming. There are still so many things I'm curious about and I can't wait to read more volumes!

New: a $60 mod to Meta's Ray-Ban glasses disables the privacy LED light. This is supposed to light when people are filming with the glasses. We bought the mod, verified it works. Now you can never be sure whether someone wearing Meta Ray-Bans is filming you or not www.404media.co/how-to-disab...

It's actually remarkably easy to not ever use ChatGPT.

New profile pic. It's just a picture I took of the box set design of Colette 😁🙊

So funny how big Snorlax is. He needs two screens 😁 #USUM

It makes me sad how many authors/bookish people have abandoned Bluesky because it’s lowkey lit here when it comes to sticking to the book recs/book content. No drama, no sub posts, no attacking authors, readers, event organizers. Idk, it’s kind of my favorite platform to share books? #Booksky 💙📚

When the feed is boring, that's your cue to go have an experience with something that'll make it less boring for yourself and others later.

I could eat pizza every day 🍕😍

I just started my 6th replay of gen 7 (my favorite gen) and I'm still so excited as if I would play it for the first time 😍 No other Pokemon game feels like this to me, even though I grew up with the franchise and played every gen (Red was my first game thanks to my big brother)

Oh no.. Qzil. la, which is one of the studies creating the anime The Champignon Witch, is known for using AI 😑 I really hope they didn't use AI, because that would ruin the anime for me..

The Champignon Witch anime unveils cast member Yuki Sakakihara in its main promotional video!

Lady Knight on webtoon has finally returned from Hiatus wohoo 🎉

10 mangas to get to know me ❤️ I had to split it up because you can't add more than 6 images in the photo editor on my smartphone 😅

I'm still mourning the cancellation of Anne with an E 😭 I just finished my 5th rewatch of the show and I love all of the characters sooo much.

Today me and my mum collected chestnuts. In our town near the forest are a few trees where everyone can get them for free and as much as you want, most people don't seem to care tho. They are a smaller than the store-bought chestnuts and peeling takes longer but my family and I love to eat them 😋🌰
