Made in Abyss is great if you like extensive worldbuilding, adventure, trauma, fantasy, horror, mystery, and more horror.

If HP Lovecraft and Jules Verne had a baby and that baby could only draw cute characters, then you'd get Made in Abyss. To summarize, a 12-year-old girl named Riko wants to meet her long-lost mother who resides at the bottom of the Abyss, a giant chasm in the earth. Being a squishy little human, Riko is subject to lots of injuries and physical trauma cuz "reality ensues." No matter how plucky and optimistic a child is, throwing them into a pit full of wild animals is not a good idea. The Abyss itself defies space, physics, and time. Imagine the Burj Khalifa times 3 sunk into the earth. Now imagine if that superstructure was split into 7 stories or "layers" and each layer has its own ecosystem and weather patterns. Now imagine if that superstructure was a giant trap with downward-facing teeth so the further you went in, the more painful it becomes to get out. Now imagine if that giant trap was sentient on some level and gives you an irresistible urge to literally get to the bottom of it not caring if you can never return to the surface.

Perhaps one of the most-absurd stories ever on the programme

was the time the Inspector ended up on a game-show programme.

I made this bc I feel like I actually love horror more than most people it’s just that most horror movies think they need to kill characters off or it’s not scary, which ironically actually usually means the movie is way less scary

it so me fr fr

[ehlihr]

arthur returns fics are so insane bc the author has to decide whether arthur comes back for

a) merlin (safe answer)

b) to Fix Climate Change (baffling)

c) WWIII is on the horizon (?! what is he supposed to do?!)

d) to become the prime minister?!?

e) hes a communist now (always as a joke)

and im just baffled that i hvent seen anyone in my nine years straight up go divine right of kings with it. im not saying they should by any means im just saying the fanbase is tactless and like Someone Has To Have by Now. like maybe im self filtering but i refuse to believe as obtuse a fanbase hasnt done something that tasteless yknow

doug eiffel is relatively offline, his choice of... constant, unyielding background noise so he never has to be left alone in the company of his own thoughts... is the radio and/or tv, but he is also always watching youtube videos like "Can We Drive 1,200 MILES in an ABANDONED Van With NO TITLE? - First Start in 17 Years" and "Monster Jam - INSANE AIR Compilation." zero doubt.

[todayisafridaynight]

shido-san has sung a lot in those musicals about history i believe that u can find on yt so that’s the closest thing we have of mine karaoke (unless u include those ai videos too)

no im aware of the tokugawa song he sang back then i cherish it a lot actually

i absolutely do not include the ai videos though whenever i see ai videos on my recommended i recoil and feel my skin shrink stop that

[inspectorspacetimerevisited]

I like that the programme has never been pigeonholed as a police procedural.

That gives the Inspector and his/her Associate(s) a wider array of solving whatever mystery they stumble upon.

goodreads telling me i’m three books behind schedule..

Tasty jazz funk flavors. I get a little Ramsey Lewis vibe. #romanyel

#'genre-defying' idk about that man

#ill agree that it subverted some of the standards of the superhero genre#but i wouldnt give it the title of genre defying

Whatever your preferred shorthand is for a superhero movie that manages at times to feel like a different genre of movie and have the superhero aspect of the main characters be the least important or interesting part about them, it's that.

Happy 10th anniversary to Winter Soldier coming out! [x]

Roommate!Simon Riley that doesn’t correct people for thinking you’re dating. Simon’s minding the trolley while you grab a box of cereal at the store, idly standing by while watching people dip in and out of the aisle. when an older woman says you make a cute couple he just nods and says ‘thank you, ma’am’. he especially doesn’t correct someone when he stalks up behind you, a protective hand on your hip when they scoff and ask, “Is this your boyfriend?”

Roommate!Simon Riley that knows you like the back of his hand - ever changing, but still familiar at the end of the day. a new scar marring his knuckles? he’ll memorize what you like from that new café that opened down the block. a new nick on his wrist? he’s picking up that new movie you were gushing about wanting to see, a genre you wouldn’t necessarily choose usually - he’s ignoring how the main love interest looks like him. at the end of the day, some things never change, like how he’s memorized your smile and the way your nose scrunches

Roommate!Simon Riley that’s fallen into a comfortable pattern with you. your friends always say you act like a married couple, but you wave them off. so what if you guys are in the bathroom at the same time? you need to squeeze a shower in and Simon wanted to brush his teeth - besides, he can hand you a towel when you’re done. so what if you sleep in each other’s rooms? the damn AC is busted again, it’s not your fault Simon is as warm as a furnace and welcomes you with open arms

Roommate!Simon Riley whose favorite start to the morning is seeing you bleary eyed and groggy. your hair is messy, pillow lines across your cheek, and your t-shirt is askew - perfect. he doesn’t care if you have crud around your eyes, he doesn’t care if you haven’t brushed your teeth yet, he doesn’t care that you’re wearing his t-shirt— Simon pauses, eyes glued to you. his last name decorating your back… maybe Simon does care about you wearing his shirt
