I'm not sure any anime has looked quite as good to me as the Dezaki Black Jack OVA.

I am not sure how to feel about Greek supremacist Rock Holmes.

writing a lil witch novella

New video is out! Roger Ebert's Relationship to Anime: youtu.be/oMdddKTJnQ8

New video out tomorrow.

I am on a level of Hathaway hype that watching the trailer is almost painful because I still have to wait a few months lol

twitter is currently a frankenstein combination of 4chan and tumblr. we all know this. but bluesky is a different beast that i don't think people born after ~2004 fully grasp. bluesky is a frankenstein combination of tumblr and somethingawful

Every time I watch City The Animation, I am reminded that beauty still exists in this world.

i finished exosuit girls 😌 a few more rounds of edits this month, and then i think i'll start querying next.

This is true beauty.

New Patreon post, featuring startling facts such as: I finished my novel! I'm considering changing the channel name! I'm unemployed! These and other amazing insights are held within www.patreon.com/posts/138527...

Does anyone know if changing a Youtube channel's name is likely to screw up your algorithm? I think I want to standardise all my handles to the one I'm planning on publishing fiction under (River). But nervous to do so if it could screw up the reach of future videos, ofc.

Take a relaxing stroll in the rain in the Japan-only action RPG classic, Brightis (1999, PS1)

I've said this before, but it's crazy how quickly Computer Lab Hijinks has become one of my favourite channels. Consistently releasing videos that are both comfy and academic, relaxed and intriguing. Pretty much the best videogame analysis on YouTube right now www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UdI...

exosuit girls is essentially a cross between these two exact vibes.

had to draw this

finally wrote a scene i've had in mind for a while, took a bit to get to. two mecha pilots, in their mecha, embracing.

Just to say what is actually happening in a way the press will never: Your President, a known sexual predator and pedophile, has dispatched the military to terrorize and silence sexual assault victims who, it is likely, he personally interacted with.

slowly but surely coming to final parts of the mecha novel i'm writing. hopefully once i've scratched this itch i'll be able to return to being a little more online, a little more youtube focused. thank u everyone for your patience. and here's another sneak peak 😌

Been a difficult week. The department I work in had its TA budget slashed to 0 (yes, really), and so it looks like I'll be unemployed this semester. Trying to figure out what my next steps are (and trying to build some more hard skills in a short amount of time).

New Patreon post. I'm writing a book! Here's the first chapter: www.patreon.com/posts/im-wri...

gundam that looks most like a dmt machine elf

love seeing my hometown represented in anime. it really does look like this 😌

my girlfriend is hosting a rpg maker game jam amongst our group of friends in my discord server and i too am making a entry! its called LOST TRANSIT. u played Marzipan, a hospital worker in Beton Gardens. a city where recently, whole trains have ended up vanishing, passengers included.

i wrote a novella it's about longtermist vampires, doing too many drugs, and socialism it's available right now merrittk.itch.io/vampirocene thanks to @slimyswampghost.bsky.social for the killer cover art

A moodboard for this mecha novel i'm writing, which i'm calling: exosuit girls

Going to tear myself away from writing this book for a bit so I can finish the Tony Gilroy script, but check this out lol

this is what beit hanoun looked like (from arabi21.com/story/155862...)

sooo uhhhh does anyone know a publisher that would be interested in a 60k teen mech pilot darkly psychedelic political thriller?

i have almost written 20k of my "dogs day afternoon meets gundam/eva/k-on" mecha novel. i am not sure where this spurt of writing focus came from, but i think could get this thing done in another month or two. i'm feeling pretty excited about it.

In the last three days I went into a fugue state and somehow wrote 10k of a mecha novel that is sort of my whole take on gundam and eva. so uh, more on that, if it develops.

加筆

I see a frame like this and go: waaaaow, live action dougram vibes 😌

New channel update on my Patreon. I talk about the video I'm working on right now, as well the mysterious Big Chungus video I have planned in 2026 www.patreon.com/posts/133825...

My next video is kind of a swerve, not even on anything Japanese. curious to see how it'll do. for now, i'll let you all wonder why it involves the obscure 1993 Hugh Grant film Extreme Measures
