#i dont do a lot aughnvhjd

[tearfullypink]

curious as to what media u would recommend since u said spop isnt too good?

i sat on this ask for a bit bc honestly....spop being...not great....is my personal opinion lol. but there's also not rlly anything like it. so here's other stuff instead that's rlly good! the list isnt that huge bc my attention span is shit and my brain forces me to be unhealthily obsessed with su!! (which is also. hm) so sorry! also im basic

bojack horseman: is literally the best at representing themes of mental illness and trauma

mp100: is ultimately a show about normality and kindness

gravity falls: wacky show with good dialogue and great stakes

sally face: mystery video game with a hint of horror. very plot driven, but the characters are really fun

undertale: i was obsessed for 2 years straight and it made me almost cry

johnny the homicidal maniac: a great comic. makes fun of people, society, and most importantly, pretentious goth culture. main character is a homicidal maniac who kills people who inconvienece him. He's a likeable bitch boy. A bit of horror

i feel sick: spinoff of a character from jthm. not much to say except it's great to read if u like jthm. oh and the dude who made the series made invader zim

also here's animated movies that make me feel more than spop ever did:

rock and rule, belladonna of sadness, angel's egg, perfect blue, akira (definition of classic for a reason), barefoot gen (1 and 2), mindgame, cat soup, interstella 5555, adolescence of utena (u don't need to watch the anime to get it), paprika, grave of the fireflies, watership down, chirin's bell, filidae, ghost in the shell

and here's some books:

Song of Solomon

Everything I Never Told You

The Perks of Being a Wallflower

The Bell Jar

The Color Purple

Their Eyes Were Watching God

I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings

Sold (by Zana Muhsen)

Gabi, A Girl in Pieces

I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter

The Metamorphasis

Brace Face: a Memoir

My Sunshine Away (by M.O. Walsh)
