Disclaimer 1: Spoilers for The Falcon & The Winter Soldier. Seriously, if you haven't watched the entire series, read no further. Disclaimer 2: I enjoyed TF&TWS. After last week's post, I was happy that the finale answered a few questions I had and focused enough on Sam that I wasn't annoyed. Last week, I was... Continue Reading →
The Brown Main Supporting Character & The White Side Protagonist
I watched The New Mutants a few days ago. Based on the trailers, I was expecting something unique and hoping for something cool. What I got was something a little meh. And a lotta racist. Yeah, New Mutants really pissed me off. Because it starts and we're introduced to Dani Moonstar, our brown protagonist, and... Continue Reading →
Monster Showcase – Mother Longlegs from Kong: Skull Island
Disclaimer 1: Yes, this post contains minor spoilers for Kong: Skull Island, which I only point out because if you haven't seen it, KSI is actually good. Seriously, I just watched it for the first time earlier in this week, and I was floored not only by how entertaining it was but how that movie... Continue Reading →
An Essential Reset
I've been saving this one for a while, because, total honesty: I've just been recovering and processing a lot of stuff. But, to finally break some news, I moved out of that terrible room I was living in. The place with the neighbors downstairs blasting music all day every day. The neighborhood where I was...

Let’s Talk About – “Uncanny Mess Realism” in Worldbuilding
Welcome back! Or Happy . . . First Time Here? Uh . . . Welcome! Holy shit, I'm never trying to write a normal intro ever again. Today, I wanted to get back to writer talk. I have an important life update I'll drop on you guys, but nothing crazy . . . Well, it... Continue Reading →
A March Break . . . with “Creme” Eggs
Yeah. That's how they spell it. "Creme." Did I just Mandela Effect you? Cause I definitely just Mandela Effected myself when I glanced at the box. Anyway, hello! I'm taking a break today. On one hand because I woke up from weird dreams earlier. Dreams that were chok-full of people from my past. People I... Continue Reading →
Process in Progress #2 – The Character Wall
Hi there. I had a bunch of things I wanted to write about today, and, in choosing one, I wound up shooting wa-a-a-a-ay over the typical release deadline. Apologies for that. But I didn't want to publish another life update. And I didn't want to vent about my presence on social media either (which I'm... Continue Reading →
The “MCU Glorifies the Military” Hottake is Stupid, But This Other Take Isn’t
Like a large portion of America, I watched the finale of WandaVision this week. And, before I continue, I know this isn't what I said I'd write about. I will, forever and always, stop myself from making promises about what I'll write on Sunday, because it almost always changes. The thing is, like anything, WandaVision... Continue Reading →
Dream Diary – A Ton of Dreams in 1 Night
There is a bizarre disconnect that happens when you (apparently) remember every single dream you had over the course of one night. Disclaimer: I don't know if that's actually what happened to me Tuesday evening--I don't know how dreams work. But by the second time I woke up exhausted and confused by the batch of... Continue Reading →
Writer’s Workshop – Being in a Gas Station While It’s Getting Robbed
This post was written on Monday the 15th, the day after my February "break" post. A lot of things happened today. By way of update: I was woken up by the guy upstairs playing his music. But when I went on an investigation (fully contemplating gross sabotage of their front door), I discovered that not... Continue Reading →
