Abel Scarlet

-so, so deeply real and honestly brings me to tears even just thinking about them🥹. They handled the mental illness aspect so well in the form of Bob, and I'm so happy to see that he's finally welcomed in a family that accepts him for who he is.

10000/10, go Thunderbolts!!!!!

-I hadn't watched Black Widow yet, so all I knew about Yelena was that she's kinda angsty from Hawkeye, and that she's played by Florence Pugh. And holy shit did Pugh deliver!!! I literally cried in the theatre on her emotional scenes...

The whole theme about loneliness and seeking help is-

...and that's everything bad I have to say about this movie

Cus holy FUCK this movie is amazing. It's not the most action-packed marvel movie (though the scene with bucky on bike was sick), but it has heart; so much of it.

Gotta be honest I only cared about Bucky and John when I walked in-

18. Thunderbolts*

Gods I had such low expectation on this movie and it successfully became one of my favorite marvel movies of all time...

I'll start with what I don't like: the fact that they killed of Taskmaster. She deserved much more screentime and I would love to see more of her fight scenes

/ still spoilers /

That said, some routes are also better than others. As a rule of thumb, everyone's bad routes are almost always more well written than the good routes (My fave bad route being Iris'). The true end's still the best, though

9.999 out of 10, I'll round it up when Cass is dateable

/ spoilers for love curse /

I do think that there's a case of favoritism(?) in the cast though, with Nyx obviously having the most content. Eleanor's second because of the Jianghe stuff, while Victoria/Iris kinda seem off because they have no relation to Fuguang at all

17. Love Curse: Find Your Soulmate

OH BOY, ARGUABLY MY FAVORITE PIECE OF ART I'VE CONSUMED THIS YEAR (so far)

Amazing yuri!!!! Everyone (including the protag herself) is so pretty!!! Storylines are so good, and the "true" route is honestly so, so tearjerkingly good

-would have let stew a bit more, and let the party bite at each other (literally in some cases) a bit more, before allowing it to reach climax.

Still a good watch! But the pacing issues kinda killed my hype for it a little bit.

Solid 7/10 still, though

However-! A critique that I have is that the story seems a tad too short for a two-parter series. The first part was a really good build up, and though the second part was good, it was so short that it left me a bit dumbfounded.

I just wish it had been a bit longer, wished that conflicts-

16. Critical Role's Thresher

MAN!!! This was so, so fun. Always love myself a good ol' deep sea horror, and CR delivered.

Jasper was a really fun and horrifying GM, and the players played their characters extremely well (special shout out to Noshir for being immersively impressive as always).

-gave the session a breath of novelty!

The players were really fun, too. Brennan no doubt carrying the vibe as always, but also Aleks (how tf did he get here), Libe, and Eden were all really swell players! Marisha and Ashley too of course, played the lesbians really adorably

7.5/10, Wilde out!!!!!

16. Critical Role's Wildemount Wildlings

An absolutely adorable miniseries from Critical Role!! Deeply fun, Sam as a DM is always a treat to have with his disregard for rules and penchant for throwing the players whatever he wants. The kiddos' inclusion as encounter-makers was so cute, and honestly

The budding romance between Merry and Yellow (now Lightning!) The growing rivalry between Merry, Resolute, and Doorknob... Comely completely not caring of anything other than apples... The current basketball arc with Knife being left out... I'm obsessed

10 / 10, always bet on losing horses

That being said I'm still obsessed with the entire fanmade plot of HRT (I even have a lot of HCs myself that differs from the fans!)

The ongoing tragic drama between Cyan and Superstition is heartbreaking, and the shonen-ass Cyan rescue arc with Superstition and Merry was amazing

15. Horse Race Tests

Yeah I'm counting this as media

Honestly one of the most unique things i've ever consumed. Idk what media to even categorize this as. Movie? Game walkthrough? ARG? A completely novel experience in which most of the "canon" content is entirely fanmade

back again to yap about medias i consumed this year

This game gets a Perfect 10/10 for me! PLEASE play it. You won't regret it. Also it's not even that expensive?? only around Rp.100k when I bought em.

Also have a look at my wife Anemone. I want her to break me in half but she's way too gentle to do that to me. Also ur bf is an asshole pls break up

it's entirely up to you to progress them; and there's limited time on each of your playthroughs. So sometimes you feel like you're progressing very well on a certain plotline, only for it to end very abruptly because the game is hardcoded to end when you've passed 10 years.

-even scratched what this game has to offer yet!!

Gorgeous artstyle, amazing music, VERY well written characters, and the fact that there's so many "routes" you can pursue makes this game so deeply underrated.

The smallest critique I have of this game is that *because* there are so many routes,

-grow up alongside you, even *more* sets of NPCs who are interesting and extremely memorable, and 12 stats you can increase (which affects how your story and relationship dynamics pan out), this game has a LOT to offer you. And i mean a *lot*. I'm on my 2nd playthrough and I feel like I haven't-

You and the colony lands on a planet called Vertumna. Though, oddly, you seem to have echoes of previously having lived life on Vertumna before, alongside your colony, friends, and family here.

And so starts your extremely customizable life!!! With 10 potential romantic interests of kids who-

14. I Was a Teenage Exocolonist

the fact that this game is not more well-known is kinda fucking CRIMINAL.

This game tells the story of a little kid (customizable gender) who leaves earth alongside a group of people in order to start life in another planet (because earth was getting fucked)

And have I TOLD you how adorable Casper is??? He genuinely gets me giggling like a schoolgirl like 😭😭😭 he is way too babygirl for his own good

I'll give this really beautifully polished game an 8.5/10!!!

(Also I did not intentionally plan this but its amazing how the Death game is review #13 lmao)

Sweet branching storylines, weirdly engaging sidecontent, and an intuitive, very visually appealing UI.

And all that for FREE TO PLAY? Gods this game spoils you!!

It's the perfect length to finish in one sitting. Not too long, but not too short either, just enough to leave you satisfied

13. A Date with Death

Shout out to my gf @capirara.bsky.social for dragging me to play this game. I love Casper so much!!! He's an adorable babygirl who gets so easily flustered and wears his heart on his sleeves.

Everything about this game is so polished it's incredible. Beautiful visuals,
