    Chloe Was Always Dead: Why You're Wrong About 'Life is Strange'

    First episode of 2025! And what better subject to start it on than one of my favourite games. God help us all if that comment about RWBY ends up giving me an excuse to talk about that show, you have not seen me get overly invested in a silly thing until you see me talking about RWBY.

    I Am Gwen Stacy (Or, Why Some Characters Are Us)

    Very personal one this time! But the second I rewatched this film, I knew I had to make this episode.

    'Fruits Basket' and The Salvation of Akito Soma

    It feels a little funny that within, like, a week of making a mini-episode about feeling like I had nothing personal and artistic to make, I came out with my most personal episode yet...

    On Art, Inspiration, and Wanting More: A Breakdown

    Sorry it's been so long since I've posted anything. This is a bit of explanation about why. Also a good piece of evidence that I need to hurry up and find a counsellor.

    That NYT Article About Hannah Gadsby is Dumb Actually (Bonus Minisode)

    I got pissy about an article and decided to ramble about it. Also, apologies for the way I sound in some of this; I'm currently in the middle of voice training and haven't quite gotten used to speaking in a higher register yet, so my pitch is a bit up and down. I also had to rerecord a load of bits because I forgot Hannah Gadsby uses they/them pronouns, so that's why the editing is a bit jumpy.

    All The World's A Stage: Comparing and Analysing 'Revolutionary Girl Utena' and 'Revue Starlight'

    You have no idea how long I've been wanting to put this essay out there. I wrote it in 2020, and never had anything to do with it until I started this project. I'm super proud of this piece, and everything else I've made over the past year. Now I just need to work out how to one-up it next year!

    I Fixed 'Good For You' (Bonus Minisode)

    See, this was a proper mini episode. Less than five minutes, for an idea I literally only had when I woke up this morning.
