Pray to the gods that Hollywood may never touch your favourite franchise…
We are in the midst of the worst economic crisis of our lives, and what do HBO and Amazon come up with? Two rip offs parasitically feeding on the carcass of two fantasy worlds, Middlearth and Westeros.
I guess it wasn’t enough that the Star Wars sequels sucked a nasty unwashed schlong with Mary Sue character in the leading role, and nerdy looking neurotic villain, it wasn’t enough that the Game of Thrones series became unwatchable the minute it distanced itself from the book material it was initially based on, it wasn’t enough that BBC cast a black woman as Anne Boleyn. Muthafucka we need to fuck with the public even more.
Now we have black non-binary elves, and a strong female lead again. Rings of Power can kiss my white ass, and HBO Max can be glad I did not withdraw my subscription yet. This shit is The Gremlins level of writing. Max out the message of inclusion and strong women, however at least The Gremlins did not feed off on the carcass of established franchises.
This winter, while you freeze in your homes, read a book…
Let’s hope that Hoellywood will never touch any of Key’s visual novels and their anime adoptions, such as Angel Beats, Little Busters and Clannad. The author of those masterpieces as well as Key Studio’s co-founder, Jun Maeda, was quite a legend within the world of anime. I can see he has some level of philosophical depth, albeit a bit sensitive. Either way, if the Hoellywood wanna fuck with Jun Maeda’s works, that shit gonna look cringe AF.

I don’t know much about anime as there wasn’t much of it around here in the Czech Republic when I was a teenager. Today, it is everywhere. Even my coworker that sits next to me in the office draws anime graphic novels. That’s why she has this job because it gives her free time for her projects.

What do you do? I’d be more than happy to work your type of jobs.
And as far as drawing goes, during the height of pandemic in 2020, I’ve actually thought about turning myself into a hentai artist of some sort and make money off DeviantArt. You find all sorts of shits on there…common hentai aside, you have the foot fetish related shit, lolicon, insects, giantess and even fury. Some of them actually had me in shock lol. I didn’t go with it back then though. Now they’re taking away Ethereum mining and many ETH pools are closing down, I may actually do it, if I can find times to dedicate to it that is.

I am a tour guide at a heritage site. It fits my profile as a history graduate, it is next to my home. It can get a bit stressful at times with unruly tourists and in peak time the work can be exhausting but outside the summer season, we do fuck all here, and I have time to read books for my own book project.
