Some of my favourites
This list is order by the time I last consumed each piece of media.
I have enjoyed and would
recomend most of the work in this log for various reasons, but these are the ones I continue to think
about month or years of first enaging with them.
writing I don't have much to say about each work, but
Webcomic (ongoing 2021-present)
This webcomic, created by SecretPie, is set in a delightfully imaginative and serial world of miniature universes.
Our protagonist, Brocolli, is sent on missions across the multivurse by their creator and best friend, Lady Doris, to ensure all is
Polite and good. Self discovery ensues.
Animed series (2025)
A netflix animated drama about a Jewish family dealing with their problems. Most striking is the non-linear
format, where each episode focuses on a character throughout their life rather than a specific time period. It's increadebly messy, heartfelt,
funny, and realistic. My partner and I are already planning a rewatch.
Manga (2021-present)
Written and illustrated by Keigo Shinzō. A slice of life about enjoying the little things.
There's also prominent romantic elements. I've just caught up and can't wait for more.
Animated short film (2015)
Created by Don Hertzfeldt. I watched this short as a teen and it had a significant impact on me. A child is brought to visit a doomed
future by her 3rd generation clone. It's a rather existential, but ultimately uplifting.
Cartoon (1997-2002)
I think I've watched all of Daria 3 times? My first watch was as a teen in the 2010s when screenshots were all over tumblr.
Nostalgia occasionally brings me back. As I grow older, my perspective on this series changes.
CD-ROM (1995)
This game is pretty famous among analog horror types for the "dead body" scene. Really, it's not a horror game at all, but a deeply personal art
prodject. It celebrates the beautiful, the mundane, and the marcarb in equal proportions. It's kind of a pain to get running, but I highly recommend it.
Novel (1970)
The second book in Le Guin's Earthsea series. I've only read the first three books, but The Tombs of Atuan is easily my favorite.
A girl escapes a dying cult and reclaims her identity (and achives world peace in the process).
I love it for its oppressive atmosphere and character-driven narrative. The ending leaves me a little uneasy, but I think that makes it more interesting.
