So Erza's mom is revealed. And I actually want to read it. I mean, I saw a picture of her and it's godawful character design- this was drawn for one purpose, and it was not "let's create a dignified, intimidating villain", or "let's create a unique and interesting character with personality"... but rather "Hey tween boys, here's the villain- now open your zippers and fap to her".
tells me she's a super evil badass of some kind, and it makes me wonder how the flying fuck anyone takes her seriously, inside or outside her universe.
But even so I want to read it because I like Erza as a character.
But at the same time I can't. Because this is Fairy Tail, laced with the whole host of problems I normally associate with it- overt fanservice, a baffling inability to write even basic shonen, godmoded fights, childish art, dissatisfying villains that are either dark as night or just misunderstood and easily forgiven good guys... I could go on. It's just so bad.
So unless Mashima completely turned around and started not doing the above, I know that reading to catch up will give me the impulse to cave my own skull in with a hammer.
What a waste.

I went to see Rocketman
Since the comparison to Bohemian Rhapsody is inevitable- what with it being about the life of an LGBT icon in the music industry and all- let's get it out of the way: as a movie, it's better written and better executed.
I don't know anything about Elton John, so I don't know how much of the film was bullshit- well, "artistic licence", if you're diplomatic- but it was basically a pretty standard biopic. Very standard. It follows the formula beat for beat without a single deviation- extremely talented young man enters music industry, briefly struggles with cynical executive, has his big break and instantly rises to stardom, ends up on the road
Bleach reimagined: here's this fanficcy premise
So I was thinking to myself this week, while coping with the horrors of adjusting to night shifts at work, about Bleach. Specifically, how I'd change the basic premise into something more sensible without going full berserk/game of thrones. More reasonable, but still with the same shonen charm.
The most basic problem starts with the protagonist, a 15yo rando with no experience somehow becoming a god tier fighter in a matter of months, because that's how shonens work for some reason. So I thought, what do you do to change that?
Well, you make Ichigo a young officer of the Gotei itself, naturally. And from there on, my imagination did the res
RIP tumblr
So when first I heard tumblr was going to ban all porn, I was like,
"Okay, I'll miss the good porn out there, but I can see why. It's a sensible business decision for a company that wants to be more family friendly. I can respect that even if I disagree with it."
Then I heard about their draconian new policy of banything anything "salacious" (nice vague terminology they got there) and basically anything even remotely suspect is now banned. Especially female nips.
And I was like
"Yeah okay. Um. Nice knowing you, tumblr."
I'd like to say they were shooting themselves in the foot, but this is more like that one thing where you write a littl
Bo-rhap: it delivers
So I went to see the Queen bio-pic. I made sure not to get my hopes up too much because... well, it's my favourite band of all time and I'd hate to be disappointed.
So how was it? Basically...
It's overdramatized (if the band members fought as much and as often as the movie suggests, I don't ever think they would have stuck together, and there was no point where Freddie was on the brink of selling out his band either to my knowledge- his doing solo stuff was just a side project), corny and formulaic, but it delivers enough good acting and feelgood moments that it's a solid pass.
It ventures into glorification a bit- Freddie doing drugs is

If your description of Erza's mom is anything to go by, then I just have one thing to say...
