mack's 2022 birthday rec list list!

so i missed doing this last year because ✨mental illness✨ but we're back! i feel weird about birthdays so i wanted to thank you guys for such a great year by putting together a list of fics that I've loved so y'all have some good stuff to read! i've mostly been reading oscar fic this year so the vast majority of fic on here is oscar fandom, though there are a few others. im sure this list is missing fantastic fics i read in the last 12 months but i've tried to compile the ones that have stuck with me and that i've gone back to! this is my gift to y’all for getting me to another birthday 💗

if you like the stuff on this (unfortunately brief) list and think our taste lines up, feel free to check out my recommended tag (now featured!). i don’t have a lot of time to read these days but I reblog every fic that I finish so you might find something you like in there!

disclaimer: please note that some of the following accounts have dni statements. i adore them and would never want anyone to disrespect their boundaries so please be aware of who you are interacting with as you go through this list! thanks!

-

Old Dog by the wonderful Dany. @youvebeenlivingfictional is a god and her writing never fails to floor me. if you aren't a bond fan, you will still love Old Dog, and all her other fics are incredible too (I am obsessed with Be Changed; Be Undone right now as well)

this untitled fic by @userpoe is a great example of the mastery tegan has of the star wars canon. they capture character SO WELL and talking to them about poe is always a joy because of the sheer DEPTH OF KNOWLEDGE they have. also their gifs are GORGEOUS and they're unreasonably talented at everything but that's besides the point

i have to include All Bets Are Off by @writefightandflightclub because i've read it like seventeen times and it gets better every time?? luna's ability to create tension is unparalleled and the dialogue in this is SO GOOD. oh my god they were roommates and captain of the team are others fics of theirs that i love for these same reasons

and i cannot get you out by @moonknightly is her brand of beautiful angst at it's finest. i love the way hadley can perfectly place you right in the moment, even if that moment isn't reader-driven. it's a skill i wish i had and reading her work is like a masterclass on writing.

i fell in love with clarke's writing because of the insane amount of creativity she possesses, and her Kinktober Day 16 - Hair fic is such a great example of that. every time I read @budcooper 's work, especially work that comes off a prompt list like this, im always in awe of how she can spin well-loved tropes into something new and fresh. Trying is another great example of exactly this.

A Very Lovely Woman by @acedameron is gorgeous and makes me YEARN SO HARD. it's beautifully written and angsty and smutty and i ADORE it. they've also written some stuff for William Tell (The Card Counter) so if you read for him, go check out their account!

Tinder Saves the Day by @maybege is a FANTASTIC fic that really surprised me?? I realized I was doom scrolling so I clicked on the first fic that popped up on my dash and it just so happened to be this masterpiece. I didn't know who this man was. I had no idea what fandom he was even for at the time. but was I entertained?? is the writing gorgeous?? did I immediately go read everything else on May’s masterlist for Paz?? absolutely yes.

so there you go! the 2022 mack birthday rec list. thanks for keeping me afloat this last little while. as always, if you are a writer and you wanna tag me in your fic, feel free! i love finding new writers (and new friends) on here and it’s honestly one of the main ways I find new people to interact with! i love y’all 💗💗

wip wednesday

BRUH the sheer talent of the other writers on this site, I swear to fucking god. It was a pleasure to read folks' stuff today (and today sucked ngl, so y'all cheered me right up). Thank you, @kittynomsdeplume, @melisusthewee, @little-lightning-lavellan, @emerald-amidst-gold, and @noire-pandora for the tags!

Here's a lil preview of the new chapter of Eunoia (can the rest just write itself? I'm so tired).

“But it’s dark — ow!”

“Are you alright? I could light the —”

“No! It’s a surprise and I want to be surprised! It was just my toe.”

“Then what may I —”

“Solas, take the hint, please. Hold my hand.”

He fumbled for her in the dark stairwell, smiling in response to her laughter, and slid his hand around hers and gripped it tight. He brought his free arm around her waist and tugged her close. His grin widened at her tiny gasp of surprise.

“Here,” he said. He stretched her hand in his forward and placed it on the door latch. “It’s just beyond. Would you like to open it, or shall I?”

Her shadowy self pressed her free hand to her mouth to smother her giggles. “This is so silly, why am I laughing?”

“We’re merely having some fun! It’s ridiculous and simple and harmless. Let’s take the time to enjoy it.” He tugged at the hand covering her mouth. “No need for shame.”

A rogue giggle or two bled between her clenched lips, then she sighed. “You open the door.”

He reached out again, without a word, and pushed open the latch. The door swung wide.

I taaaaaag @1000generations, @frostyfelassan, @dirthavarens idk anyone who wants to share whatever they're working on. Still not sure how these work but here ya go.

Virelan Lavellan, Herald, Inquisitor, and Bestest Girl

I commissioned @dreadfutures to give a face to my battleaxe-wielding, dragon-blood-guzzling Inquisitor, Virelan Lavellan, and it's been such a privilege to have her brought to life! I'm beside myself with how beautiful she turned out. Blue is an absolute joy to work with and I can't recommend her work enough. Check out her commissions and pricing at her ko-fi right here.

Virelan is an even-keeled, serious, and loving woman who takes her role as Inquisitor very seriously. She grows close to Josephine early on, and later rivalmances Solas (to very soft-domme effect).

Find her story on my AO3. (And her various and sundry one-shots in my smut collection here.)

My Contribution to the Solamancy Zine 💚

I’m really excited to share some of what I’ve been working on with some really incredible, talented people for the upcoming @solamancyzine. Here is a snippet of my short story, The Bloodiest Hands.

Felassan turned his attention to one of the wisps, which floated in a blue and green haze near his right ear. He raised his hand, and the spirit laced through his fingers like exhaled tobacco smoke.

“How you manage to befriend them so well,” Felassan sighed, “I will never understand. Since stepping from the Fade I’ve found it harder and harder to make my will known to them.”

Solas approached his side and gestured for him to walk alongside him. The two men picked their way through the underbrush, their dark leathers and hoods disguising them in the early morning gloom of the forest.

“I believe,” Solas said softly, “that your first mistake is attempting to make yourself known at all. When you were wholly a spirit, did you appreciate being approached by the bodied people of the world, expected to be a certain way?”

IRON BULL

HEY BLUE ILY thank you for asking 💚💚💚

(And @queenaeducan!! Thank you for asking too!)

First impression

"Why is his head so little?"

But no honestly, Iron Bull surprised me and I loved it. I went into it expecting him to be this brainless beast and he was so smart? He fully confessed to being a spy sent to fuck with the Inquisition and you can just let him? Hell yeah come swing your axe with me, big guy, I'll take all the Ben Hassrath reports you can throw my way.

Impression now

Big friend. Big heart. Big thoughts.

I just love him. He walks this really tough line between cognitive dissonance and acceptance and the Chargers decision just makes it all so much worse (and better). I've never sacrificed them (because I just can't) so I can't speak to "hardened" Bull, but an Iron Bull who is forcefully ejected from his culture, his religion, his way of thinking really hits me right in the soul. I was once in a really fundamentalist Christian sect that was pretty much a cult, and my experience leaving it was very similar to what Iron Bull asks Solas: "What if I become a mindless savage (without my religion)?" And his healing arc resonated a lot with my own experience. It was nice to see it so faithfully represented in a video game, of all places.

Favorite moment

I just love when he meets Harding in the Frostback Basin. Their little "mayhem" banter gives me so much joy. That and the entire chess game with Solas post-Chargers is just so good.

Idea for a story

I've had this idea for months to write Iron Bull moving through the stages of grief after becoming Tal Vashoth. It would be a very personal piece cuz I'd pull on my own lived experience in leaving a cult, which involved losing friends, family, and a whole world-view and plan for the future and left me pretty much floating in space. I wish I'd had a Solas to ground me, a Krem to drink with, and a Cassandra to beat me with a stick (I'm only half joking about that last one). I hope to be in a good enough mental place soon to give the idea justice.

Unpopular opinion

Iron Bull offers not BDSM, but what the Inquisitor needs. He's a service top all the way, and I wish there had been an option to go "actually I would love to sleep with you but can we leave the ropes at the door?" I really appreciate the romance for its healthy, nuanced approach to BDSM, but not every OC who wants to ride the Bull necessarily wants to engage in the other aspects of his romance.

Favorite relationship

To no one's surprise, it's his friendship with Solas. What got me out of my cult was discovering papers, research, historical records that proved I was practicing something harmful, and I still wanted to deny it all in favor of the comfortable thing I was used to. Listening to Solas talking Iron Bull through his grief as Tal Vashoth literally moved me to tears the first time I'd heard it, and I'm so happy it was depicted the way it was.

Favorite headcanon

That Iron Bull is a Reaver despite having no training and not drinking infusions because he has dragon blood as a Qunari. That's my SHIT.

Thank you for asking!!

Send me a character.

[fuji09]

I have made some incredible friends over the past year thanks to the IT fandom, I know I have been distant, but I think about y'all every single day.

@bimmyshrug I just don't even know how to express how amazing you are. Because of you I met so many other people on here. I sent you anon messages for months before I finally had the courage to message you off anon and I never thought I would actually get to be lucky enough to even be noticed by you, let alone call you a friend. You inspired me to take on my darker side of writing, if not for you, I probably would still be writing all fluff, which isn't bad, but angst can be something that is just so personal.

@flowersonmymind1016 where do I even begin? You have encouraged me to be a better writer, you have been an amazing beta reader for me, and reading your works motivates me to write. You are super sweet and always there when I need a friend. I try my best to return the favor, and hopefully one day we can actually meet in person, if cons ever come back, maybe we can meet PJ Ransone together.

@nblesbianbenhanscom can I even put into words how much you mean to me? Every single time I post something sad you ALWAYS check on me. I wish I could tell you how much that means to me. I can talk to you about stuff and you don't judge and you help educate me. I don't know what I did to deserve such an amazing friend, but I'm glad I have you in my life. ily, all the homo. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

@stunt-lads my dude, you fuel my love for Bill Hader, you provide me with the dankest of memes (usually about Bill Hader), and you just make me smile so much. I would die for you. Also the photos of your dog always bring a smile to my face.

@ull-float-too dude, you are such a great person, I love our running joke of co-parenting our friends in the servers we are in. You make me laugh a lot and group chats are always brighter when you're around.

@thatmalu Ren, you have a heart of gold and you're super smart. I feel like I've learned a lot from you, random shit and important shit. You have that momma bear vibe that is just so comforting and safe.

@ghostnebula my sweet Canadian friend who never ceases to blow my mind in some way in the things that are different up there. I appreciate you, when you checked up on me when I got triggered from watching Dead Poet's Society, I was so grateful to have our friendship. It meant a lot that you cared and wanted to make sure I was ok. You have helped me learn about Indigenous cultures, being part Native is something amazing to share with a friend. The blood of different tribes runs through our veins, but I still consider you a part of my Native family.

@richieblows being friends with you is such a wild ride and I love it. I never know what to expect and things are always exciting. You are so kind and a joy to be around, well virtually around, you know what I mean.

@pohjanneito I love that I can always talk Patrick/Richie stuff with you, you get the problematic love for that ship as much as I do and it's wonderful. I never have to worry about you finding it weird when I gush about them. You have inspired a lot of fics I have planned and some current WIPs I have.

@whorefrombabylon how are you so cool? Like I feel so uncool compared to you and yet you give me attention and I'm just a happy little loser. If you told me to jump off a bridge I probably would lol, but for real, I can't believe I can just talk to you.

@blueeyedrichie I love our interactions, you are another person that I feel like is the popular kid and I'm lucky to be graced with your attention. You are such a talented writer and have amazing ideas. Your creativity is a beautiful thing. I still get shy trying to talk to you. 😅

@tonyofthetrees you are just an adorable person, seriously, how are you so awesome? Your art gives me life, I literally ascend to heaven each time you post something new. You are so talented and I hope you know that.

@sloppybitchreddie I live for when we talk theories for IT, even if its usually reblogging posts and adding in our thoughts, I always know I'm going to read well thought out words from you and its the best. You notice the small things and I love it.

@slowlimbs both introverts who adopted each other, like that is the life! I love how we were just like, "Friends? Friends!" Literally the easiest start to a friendship I've ever had! I enjoy talking to you and you make me feel at ease. We are a lot alike and that's so cool, although I'm sorry you had to be a lot like me, I'm a lame potato. 🥔

@liamannt Liam! I literally yell your name in my head when I type it. I miss having you in the fandom, you have always been so sweet and I'm really glad I've been able to get to know you. You're an amazing artist.

@aintguiltyy I love talking movies and shows with you! Especially when I get to explain stuff to you! It let's me channel the hyperactivity in my brain and I get to talk deep about the stuff I love. You're so sweet and the times you have checked on me when I was down were so meaningful to me.

@creamykaspbrak you are the sweetest, just like I can't even handle how sweet you are. You write amazing filthy smut and your AUs for Reddie feed my depraved soul. I can't get enough!

#fuji rants #i love my friends #the IT fandom gave me friends #i love yall #seriously yall mean the world to me

10 ways to stay entertained if you can't leave the house

or "how to stay at home - the twilight way"

1. rewatch the twilight saga movies. you have 5 cinematic masterpieces to go through, plus hours and hours of extra content, behind the scenes and bloopers. put together a marathon or watch a little bit everyday, just don't forget to rank japers' wigs from best to worst and then let me know what your least favorite one was 

2. reread the twilight books. all four books are wild journeys on their own, and if you've only read them at a young age you'd certainly be surprised giving them a new shot - both in good and bad ways

3. read twilight “extras”. between the short second life of bree tanner, the official illustrated guide, life and death, the available chapters of midnight sun and extra scenes of each of the four main books on stephenie’s website, there's a ton of content for those who have already memorized the original story

4. read twilight fan fiction - on tumblr, on AO3, wherever else you want. there are incredibly talented writers out there in the fandom who have brought to life improved different versions of our beloved characters and created better new storylines based on the saga, so it's a wonderful opportunity to read them, leave comments & share their content with the world. this also includes blurbs, imagines and the endless adventures of y/n for those of you (ok, us) who like to imagine what it'd be like to be bitten by carlisle or camp in the woods with leah

5. write twilight fan fiction! if what's out there is not enough to fulfill your deepest fantasies and solve the plot holes that bother you the most, bring to life a scene you’ve always wanted to see or fix something that you hate in canon (yes, i mean jacob imprinting on renesmee). this includes other types of content creation like drawing, edits, collages , clay sculptures & whatever else floats your boat

6. pretend you're bella in new moon and write e-mails to alice telling her about your feelings for edward (or the cute guy/gal in your class/office that you won't be seeing for a while bc y'all can't go anywhere right now). be as dramatic as you want, just make sure you don't send it to the person accidentally

7. watch interviews with the cast! they went on a lot of events and panels back when the movies were coming out, so there's a ton of videos to enjoy. maybe you've seen them all more times than it should be legal, maybe there's one or two you haven't watched in a while, maybe there's a compilation of funny moments you're yet to check out. whatever it is, just let the endless void of the youtube search bar help you navigate the next few weeks with a little bit of joy

8. listen to the movies' soundtracks. they were really ahead of their time and I can guarantee that there are some hidden jams in there you're yet to sing in the shower - or while washing your hands. you can also make your own playlists inspired by a book, a ship, a scene or a movie with songs you believe would fit the vibe ('what makes you beautiful' for edward & bella, anyone?)

9. put together your dream casting for the movies. i've made a few posts on this and I could go on forever, it's just so fun to imagine my own version of the characters! make the vampires more diverse, stick to the book descriptions, switch everyone's genders - your cast, your rules! 

10. catch up on the cast's more recent work! not everyone got as much success as they were probably hoping for when they joined the saga, BUT regardless of that they've all been involved in other projects since leaving forks so there's a lot to explore. be it movies, tv shows, musical careers or other side activities, show some support to those who endured so many years of bad wigs and cringy dialogue for us ♥

#ignore the spelling mistakes and focus on the intention which was to be helpful in times of crisis *crying emoji* #twilight #twilight saga #mine #twilightsagaedit #twilight renaissance #new moon #eclipse #breaking dawn #edward cullen #bella swan #alice cullen #rosalie hale #jasper hale #emmett cullen #esme cullen #carlisle cullen #jacob black #seth clearwater #ok im too lazy to keep tagging stuff #has this already been done??? im suddenly panicking #hopefully not

NaNo Interview: YWP Poster Designer Brad Woodard

This year, we have newly-designed posters for our Young Writers Program kits that we send out for free to classrooms around the world! The posters were designed by Artists for Education, a project of design and illustration studio Brave the Woods, run by Brad and Krystal Woodard. Today, we’ve interviewed graphic designer Brad Woodard about his design process for this project:

1. When a client comes to you with a concept, what are the steps that you go through to turn that concept into a visual reality? How did that process work with the YWP posters?

The first, and most important, thing I do when starting a project for a client is to collaborate. Working hand in hand with the client I can learn not only what they want, but more importantly, what they need. I take a lot of time experimenting and playing around with ideas and I want to make sure the client is part of that process. Then I start looking for inspiration to help me nail a specific style and feel. For this specific poster about creating a thrilling scene, I was inspired by vintage adventure books. It helped me create an engaging poster  while making sure it appealed to the correct audience. We didn't want it to skew too young. Creating work for clients takes collaboration and a lot of play. 

2. How did the idea for Artists for Education come about, then get turned into a reality?

My wife and I have always been interested in children's education, especially now that our son has just recently started kindergarten. We had done a lot of research into the type of education we want our children to experience. In the end we wanted to them to attend public school but we discovered how underfunded the school and teachers were, and we wanted to help. Focusing on our community and talents we decided that we could best help teachers by providing them with visuals in their classrooms. We started with posters and are soon moving into other things as well, but the idea is that we get talented, professional artists and have them create educational artwork to be used in classrooms all around the U.S. Not only are our visuals beautiful, but they are accurate too, as all of our artwork is approved by experts in the given subject. None of this would have been possible if talented, charitable artists didn't take the time to make all this incredible content for teachers. 

3. What's next for Artists for Education?

Since launching AFE we have been adjusting and tweaking our model to make sure we are able to maximize the help we can offer to teachers. In that spirit, we are going back to having all our posters being free to download for teachers, regardless of how many have been sold. Without spilling too much, we are hoping to be bringing new products to sell on AFE in hopes to allow us to start physically donating our educational posters to teachers!

4. What's your favorite poster or character that you've ever drawn?

My favorite poster had to be the one I did for y'all for Camp NaNoWriMo! It combined my love for outdoors and a program that promotes creativity. While being able to insert happy forest animals like my bear:

.I know I am being " piggy", but am probably more interested in this question than my earlier two...Had you not left Australia, do you think your career would have continued more behind the camera ( or on stage) or would you have gravitated to the directing/producing side of the field? >I'm an actor and would have continued acting.

.How many times do you have to do a scene before it is good with the crackups you must have with Yannick and Jonny on set. I loved the one with the whoopie cushion which stayed in the show.

.Hi Helene, do you have favorite episode Murdoch Mysteries? >I think I answered above ^^^ thanks!

.Do you still ride a bike in Toronto or did you breakdown and buy a car? (Sorry for the pun!) >Both. I also walk A LOT!

.Our MM fan page - William Murdoch Mysteries fan page - has a question for you ! Why did Julia refuse to lie about her relationship with Darcy preventing her from getting the annulment when she was prepared to lie about having committed adultery, when she hadn't !!? ...or was she doing more than playing dominoes ? >I think that might be a better question for the writers. I don't remember episodes after we film them 😅

.Is there anything you would like Julia to do on the show ie, stunt. >I never thought I'd roller skate but who knows!

.Would you please come to Dragoncon? Bring the fellas too =) Y'all and the Murdoch Mysteries are adored here especially among the large steampunk community. And it would make my event by far. >I have to be invited! Contact my publicity team.

.did you ever think Murdoch Mysteries would last 10 years and do you think the show will ever have a guest appearance by georgina Rielly >No! It's such a joy that it's lasted this long and I can't speak for the lovely GR.

.Hello 😄. I've heard you mention it before, so, is there a Murdoch Musical in the works? And do you enjoy singing, dancing, playing an instrument, or other musical activities? >Oh no...I never said that! Don't get me in trouble. I think it would be fun though!

.What's your favorite Julia outfit? Whatever is the most comfortable.

.Love MM how long does it take to learn your script? Do you get to adlib any? >The medical language can be difficult but usually it ranges from 3-4 days to a week depending on how heavy the dialogue is.

.What do you & Dr. Ogden have in common? >Thanks for the q! I think I answered that above ^^^^

.Would you do a movie for CBC as a Christmas Special or a romantic movie? >Like if I was offered a role?

Spring 2018 Preview

I can’t believe a new season starts in a week already... heres the shows.

1. Comic Girls: KIRARA ANIME BOIS. Do I even need to say more than that? The girls look absolutely adorable, the animation looks on point, and although the director is a debutante he's being backed up by an impressive quartet of writers including Takahashi Natsuko, Yokote Michiko, Hanada Jukki and Machida Touko. Oh yeah, it's also got a bunch of hot channees in addition to the cute schoolgirls. You can't go wrong with this one.

2. Amanchu! ~Advance~: Satojun is back at it again with the silly hiragana subtitles for sequels. The masters of healing are back again for a sequel to what was one of my favorite shows of 2016. More Teko, more of that sexy Itou Shizuka-voiced teacher, and more relaxing feels. This is exactly what we need to fill the Yurucamp-shaped holes in our hearts.

3. Alice or Alice: There are a lot of things that make me excited about this show. Obviously the cast is one: Ayaneru plays the main character, and we got Natsunee and Oonishi in there too. The director is Kobayashi Kousuke, an alumnus of the Pretty Rhythm series who was very heavily involved in Pripara, which you may know is the best anime ever made. And then there's the aesthetic: everything from the character designs to the title logo make this look and feel like a harem anime from 15 or so years ago, which is absolutely my jam. Pretty hyped for this one.

4. Sword Art Online Alternative Gungale Online: One of the weirder things to happen over the past year-ish is that I've become an unabashed SAO fanboy. The shows are just good, y'all. So you can imagine how I feel about a new show set in the SAO universe written by the author of Kino no Tabi, a show I just put in my top five of the last year, and with characters by Kuroboshi Kouhaku (also of Kino) who is the utmost hotness right now. Hopefully this will be more than enough to tide us over while we wait for SAO3 to arrive.

5. Waka-Okami wa Shougakusei: This looks like a kids anime at first glance, and, well, it is. It's based on a series of popular children's books, but they've really gone all out with the production values based on the PVs (Madhouse producing) and it looks immensely charming. Some of the best anime are childrens' stories, so I'm quietly excited about this one.

6. Hinamatsuri: This is shaping up to be one of the weirder shows of the coming season, and it looks great. From the look of the PVs, feel. are going even more all-out than they usually do with the visuals, and it also looks genuinely funny. Plus it's got a cute loli. Should be good.

7. Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu Die Neue These: It's finally here. Obviously I've heard nothing but good things about the original series, but I'm never going to have the motivation to go back and watch something so old, long and difficult, so hopefully this new anime has got me covered. I'm sure there will be plenty of discourse about it; I just hope it's decent.

8. Tada-kun wa Koi wo Shinai: Somehow, we've still never gotten a sequel to the wonderful Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun, but this show brings together the chief staff of that show for a new romantic comedy anime at Douga Koubou. With that pedigree (they even got the same guy who did the OP song for Nozaki) there's definitely reason to be optimistic about this one. Not to mention it's got cute gaijin girls and an imouto voiced by Inosuke.

9. PERSONA5 the Animation: I think I'm going to give up any ridiculous illusions I have of actually playing the game any time soon and just watch this. It's the only realistic way I'll get to see dat Kawakami-sensei and Takemi-sensei. You know I'm all about the channees right now, and man, does P5 have some good ass channees. The anime is actually being directed by Ishihama Masashi, the man who did Shinsekai Yori and literally hasn't done another TV anime since, so that's pretty exciting. Obviously, a lot Shinsekai Yori's success is because of the material adapted, but if you can make a masterpiece like that you've got to have some kind of talent.

10. Wotaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii: CUTE CHANNEE ALERT WEEWOO WEEWOO WEEWOO. I'm all up ons this. Is there anything better than cute OLs? ...Man, things sure have changed around here. Also, that title is just mean when it's literally an anime about otaku having romances. SOME OF US OUT HERE ARE LONELY

11. Last Period -Owarinaki Rasen no Monogatari-: Has there been a good social game anime yet? I guess Schoolgirl Strikers was alright, in that I actually managed to finish that one, but most of these turn out to be bad. I hope Last Period can be the one to buck the trend and be truly good, because I love the silly light-fantasy tone that it looks like it's going for. Wisemen for best girls. There's tons of cute girls with great designs (the one thing you can always count on social games for) and it'd be a shame for them to go to waste like so many before them.

12. Hisone to Masotan: I got really excited when I saw this because it looked like a cute anime about fighter planes. Instead it looks like it's a cute anime about fighter... dragons. What a ripoff. I wanted the planes. My aviation-nerd pouting aside I'm sure it will still be adorable JSDF propaganda. I just really wanted the planes.

13. Golden Kamuy: It's some kind of weird serendipity that I'm studying the Ainu for school this semester and now we get an anime explicitly about the Ainu. Period anime are pretty cool (the Russo-Japanese War isn't a setting explored in much visual media at all), the premise sounds cool, and I really like the look of the Ainu girl. Plus, how often do we get Ainu culture actually presented in anime? Remains to be seen how well it's done, but it's pretty neat.

14. Uma Musume Pretty Derby: Aw yeah. If only Jug was around to see the horse girls. I have no reason to doubt that this will be great fun, especially since it has the financial backing of Cygames, who have more money than God. Just hopefully we don’t have to see any of the cute girls get put down after breaking a leg.

15. Lostorage conflated WIXOSS: Somehow the WIXOSS anime series is still going. selector is still one of my favorite shows in recent memory, but Lostorage was complete spaghetti compared to it, so there's nowhere to go from here but up, right? This new series promises to bring back the characters from selector, which gives me mixed feelings. I don't want them to just play off nostalgia for the old show, but I'm also kinda excited to see Yuzuki and Tama again. I guess we'll see what happens. Maybe a new director will shake things up for the better.

16. 3D Kanojo Real Girl: Man, who wants a 3D girlfriend? Can your real life girlfriend be considered 3D if you're living in a 2D world? This stuff always leaves me conflicted. I'm down for some Serizawa Yuu-voiced heroine, and the always-capable Akao Deko is writing the screen adaptation, so it might be good.

17. Mahou Shoujo Ore: Oh god. I'm pretty sure I saw clippings from the manga of this a while back. It's a mahou shoujo where the girls transform into buff dudes in magical girl outfits for some reason. It can't be a coincidence that the protagonist is named "Uno" and is voiced by Oohashi Ayaka. If this show is even half as amazing as Fantasista Doll it'll be a great success.

18. A.I.C.O. Incarnation: There are a few Netflix-funded series this season but most of them don't look especially interesting. This one looks alright, but it's using the stupid Netflix bulk release model so I guess I'm waiting until April to start it despite all the episodes being out already. It looks like it could be a cool science fiction show, and I like the Naruko Hanaharu character designs.

19. LOST SONG: So this is that Suzuki Konomi promotional vehicle... From the PV, it doesn't look great, but I am a big fan of Konomin's singing so I guess I'll have to check out at least an episode. I just doubt her ability to act as well as she can sing.

20. Caligula: Strangely, this show does not seem to be about the son of Germanicus and Agrippina the Elder who ruled as Roman emperor from 37 to 41. I actually have no idea what it's about. Something about idols. But some of the character designs look pretty good, especially that blonde channee, so it's a maybe from me.

21. High School DxD HERO: It's baaaack. The show I watched three seasons of for Ayaneru that gave me almost no Ayaneru is back to continue to refuse to give me Ayaneru, probably. But hey, I like channees now anyway, so I may as well keep watching out of tradition if nothing else. I just hope Gaspar is like, actually in it this time...

22. Omae wa Mada Gunma wo Shiranai: This is an anime to promote Gunma... I guess? It definitely doesn't look like your typical local promotion anime... Apparently Gunma is a totalitarian state in this world. The green-haired girl played by Ucchii looks pretty good so I'll check it out.

23. Akkun to Kanojo: SUPER tsundere love comedy? Even regular tsundere is good. Unfortunately it's the dude who is tsundere in this one which isn't the thing I want. But the girls still look pretty cute so I'll definitely be giving it a look.

24. Mahou Shoujo Site: Uh oh, it's dark magical girls. There's nothing wrong with the concept per se but works like this often end up being grimdark for grimdark's sake (see: Mahou Shoujo Ikusei Keikaku) so it makes me worried. This one looks like someone tried to mix Madoka and Jigoku Shoujo. It should be good for a laugh if nothing else.

25. Kiratto Puri Chan: Well, here we are. This is what they killed Pripara for. So who did they get to succeed the comedic savant Moriwaki Makoto? Well, it's a guy without a whole lot of directorial experience: Hiroshi Ikehata. What he has directed have been some incredibly charming shows, including the underrated Akiba's Trip anime and Sore ga Seiyuu. The main writing credit goes to Hyoudou Kazuho, who has worked with Hiroshi on all of his directorial projects but doesn't have any especially interesting work to his name. The biggest chance this has to be even marginally worthy as a successor to Pripara is if they continue to draw on the extended family of Pretty series creators, like Pripara did to a large extent. With Moriwaki's steady hand removed, I don't have high hopes, but if they killed Pripara for a show that's not even decent I am going to be upset.

26. Aikatsu Friends!: So Stars is ending and a new generation of Aikatsu is here as well. I can't let this pass unnoticed because Kido-chan is pegged to be one of the new Aikatsu leads and I'm always thirsty for new Kido-chan anime. I didn't really like Stars, so I hope this new one is more on the silly side, like joji anime really should be.

27. Cutie Honey Universe: Rember Cutie Honey? I mean, I don't, but a lot of people do. Apparently it's the 50th anniversary of Nagai Gou's venerable battle girl series, so they're doing a revival of it. I really dig the neo-retro art style going on here, and the cast is absolutely star-studded (our current darling, Kurosawa Tomoyo, is included among the likes of Hanazawa Kana, Tamura Yukari, Horie Yui and Kugimiya Rie) so I just might check it out.

28. Steins;Gate Zero: I really don't know if I want to watch this. Steins;Gate wasn't the worst of the semicolon anime; in fact, the first half of the series was greatly enjoyable, but I don't think I need to retread the infamous "shooting of the moeblob" that led to the godawful second half. It's got Christina, I guess. I just really don't know if I can subject myself to Okabe again.

29. Megalobox: This looks technically amazing, I just don't know if I'm interested in it. Will probably wait to hear other people's opinions before I check it out, if I ever do.

30. Gegege no Kitarou: I don't think I'll actually watch this, but the latest version of the classic children's anime has been getting some attention because the character designs for the female characters are, how you say, Extremely Good. They're definitely good enough that I'm tempted to check it out. Dat Nekomusume...

31. Full Metal Panic! Invisible Victory: It really happened. I'm including this as the highest-profile show I definitely won't be watching. I haven't seen any of the other FMP anime, so it would be stupid to try and jump in here. The subtitle being abbreviated "IV" (for season 4) is very cute though.

I don’t know how to rank shorts so heres those:

Tachibanakan To Lie Anguru: It's time for another Yuri Hime anime! All you need to know about how hype I am for this show is the tagline: 'The harem manga protagonist is a girl!?' Tsuda Minami is once again going to have to be hard gay, this time with five different girls apparently. I'm especially looking forward to the Mikakoshi-voiced blonde. Unfortunately, being a Creators in Pack anime, it's a short...

Fumikiri Jikan: This is a five minute anime but I absolutely love the premise: girls wait at a train crossing. That's it. You gotta love manga and anime sometimes.
