Just found this jewel of a book back in my shelf...

I remember loving it in 6th grade and I'm so hyped on rereading it soon!

[emmartian]

The three perfect things this year to keep me living much much more.

Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon - From Software

I have a soft spot for games where “you” start so low: a corpse, an addict cop fell from grace, a drained bounty hunter sent to a planet alone to get her soul eaten by somehow gentle parasites. 

Armored Core 6 puts you in a body bag and promises to give you a meaning.

The game makes you feel in pain, both physically and mentally, yet you dance the fastest legs exquisitely, while the voices in your brain implants seem to notice you, to worry about you, to tell you you're an artist that can crave for even more.

You choose a how to see if you’re still here. And so, you fly high the miserable sky.

The Boy and the Heron - Studio Ghibli

I’ve read a lot of words about The Boy and the Heron by this point, looking to praise it by finding hidden sources, mysterious meanings and cultural roots behind its attributed “unorthodox” narrative. But I doubt this given depth was THAT intentional.

To me, this film might be the peak of Hayao Miyazaki’s philosophy for process and creation which is well known that doesn’t allow a glimpse of restraint. First and foremost, dealing with a canonical script.

A choice that brings freedom and obsession. A way to live, instead a way to create, to be the stories we tell ourselves. I strongly believe this is what the film exhales. Depth and meaning by making brilliant collaborators invested with the nurtured concepts in his brain. Depth and meaning by making us fall for the intense personality of such a hard work overall.

To grasp a gap in the system you have to be so bold. And I can't wait for what comes next.

A Guest in the House - Emily Carroll

As dear homie Sloane Leong says in her quote, a Guest in the House is a very sophisticated character study coded as a horror tale, with exquisite art, prose and pacing. 100% Emily’s trademark.

Personally, I still can't stop smiling at how it philosophically reads as an essay about evasion. On how skipping reality can be empowering and healing, and more than anything, romantic; even if, you know, it takes you to the grou… Please don't mind me.

Hide from hideous, grasp a glimpse of justice, make the self you want to be, legit. Toxic. The knight or the ghost. In Emily’s safe HUB, the guts spill into refined erotic scenarios that make the average the most dreadful place to be.

Anyway. You don't do a book on this scale alone, to save the day. The accurate craft still feels like a scream. It's the kind of work that saves the medium by making creators unsafe. Please consider reading it and support it. Emily’s writing truly is precious.

She also did a beautiful Bloodborne short out of love this year. For the fans!

Cabinet of Curiosities

In honour of Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities, here are some of the original stories on which the shorts are based. 

The Autopsy by Michael Shea, which is included in The Weird: A Compendium of Strange and Dark Stories 

Pickman’s Model by H.P Lovecraft 

The Dreams in the Witch House by H.P Lovecraft

The Graveyard Rats by Henry Kuttner

I’m not sure which of Emily Carroll’s short stories The Outside will be based on, but her website is full of all kinds of horrors and she’s the creator of His Face All Red, which I highly recommend.

[backlogbooks]

I wasn’t sure if I would get anything out of The Bullet Journal Method—after all, I’ve been doing a bullet journal of some sort since high school, so while I never read the original website or book, what I absorbed from pinterest and tumblr seemed to be working. But after college, I couldnt make my old system work for me, so I checked the book out from my library, and I’m so glad I did! This book was a good first look at a bullet journal and a good refresher on the concept for someone who’s been doing it for a while—and was really good for stripping the bujo system down to the necessary components before trying to do anything fancy. The more philosophical sections were hit or miss for me, but the good part about the whole thing is that, like the bujo method as a whole, you can take what works for you and leave what doesnt. Overall, highly recommend for anyone looking for a more personalizable planning method!

The Red Queen I pictured as a Fury, but of another type; her passion must be cold and calm – she must be formal and strict, yet not unkindly; pedantic to the 10th degree, the concentrated essence of all governesses!
