  • The Television Tag

    I have a confession to make: I’m terrible at watching TV. How can a person be bad at something that takes literally no effort whatsoever? I find myself starting shows, but never finishing them. Either that, or I plan to watch a show and then never do. What can I say? I’m a failure at

  • Well, we’ve finally made it. Not only is this my last year-end list, but it’s my last post of 2018. What a year it’s been. I could reflect on it for hours. But I won’t. Ain’t nobody got time for that. We’re here today to find out what shows I thought were the best 2018

  • It’s time for my worst lists to come to an end. Last on the autopsy table are the four shows I thought really sucked this year. I seriously didn’t plan for all my worst lists to be Top 4 lists. They all just came out that way by bizarre coincidence. I’m honestly a little unnerved

  • I vant to get your views! Okay, so vampires are considered passé now. But that doesn’t mean we don’t all still love them, at least a little bit. Plus, there’s so much lore around them!

    When asked about favorite tropes, the one that seems to come to most people’s minds first is the hate-to-love trope.

Essentially, there’s Good Hate-to-Love and there’s Oh-No-This-Is-Borderline-Abuse Hate-to-Love.

  • It’s Wednesday, my dudes. That means it’s time for another Top 5 Wednesday post! This week’s topic? Our favorite villains! …The problem is I did this topic a couple months ago when we got to pick old topics from the archives. Sure, I could probably come up with some more villains I love, and I

  • Sometimes I have opinions on things, but I don’t have enough to say to make those opinions a full post. You may think this means I should just… not post about those opinions. But I think that, once I have enough opinions gathered, I might as well discuss them. After all, what else is my

  • Father’s Day is just around the corner and, as such, what better Top 5 Wednesday topic than our favorite fictional fathers and father figures! Trying to come up with answers for this made me realize how there really aren’t a lot of great father figures in media. At least not in the books I’ve read.

  • For those of you who weren’t readers of YA back then, the early 2000s were filled with female protagonists who were bland and defenseless. I’d call them damsels in distress, but damsels usually have more personality. These girls were blank slates. You know, the Bella Swans of the world. An empty void for the reader

  • Picture this: you’re dating a superhero. You two are madly in love and see eye-to-eye on everything. You’d do anything for each other. Then one day a supervillain comes to town that’s a little savvier than your partner’s usual foes. They’re proving hard to beat and your partner is getting worried. You see, this supervillain
