At this point, anything having to do with Rick Riordan or his publishing imprint, Read Riordan, has become a reliable content cow for this blog since they just can’t seem to keep their mouths shut about cultural issues that are particularly dangerous for teens. In today’s episode of Rick Riordan/Disney being stupid, I’ll be providing... Continue Reading →
Blog: How to Tell When It’s Time to Leave a Church
If you guys have read my blog post on why you should still try to go to church even though most of them suck, you will know that I have left several churches: The Church of the Holy Dollar, The Church of the (W)Holy Incompetent Pastors, and the Church of the Holy Dinosaur, and am...

Blog: Why I Don’t Watch Anime
Last year, political commentator, Matt Walsh, said in a video that anime is Satanic. While I think that he was mostly saying this in a joking manner, I can’t say that I don’t disagree with his stance on this massively popular genre. Sure, there are anime out there that aren’t horrible such as Avatar: The... Continue Reading →
Blog: How not to Write Emotionally Damaged Characters: Tris
I am not a fan of the Divergent trilogy. Not only is it essentially soft porn for teenagers, but the main character, Tris (short for Beatrice because she’s just soo edgy), has one of the worst mental health arcs I have ever read. Throughout the series (especially in book 2), she is a whiny, selfish... Continue Reading →
Blog: How to Write a Fight Scene
Let’s be honest, fight scenes are one of those things that can either make or break the believability of a story. If they’re really good, they have the audience rooting for the hero and fearing for their lives, or perhaps feeling as cocky as the hero that he’ll win because he’s the hero. On the...

Blog: Why I Don’t Like Melanie Martinez
If you’re not a late millennial or Gen-Zer, you may not know who Melanie Martinez is, so let me fill you in real quick. Basically, she’s a singer who first popped up when she was 16 on an episode of America’s Got Talent in 2012 and launched her music career from there. Since then, she’s... Continue Reading →
Blog: I Went Ice Skating for the First Time. YouTube Didn’t Prepare Me Enough.
I usually don’t talk much about stuff that I do in my personal life on this blog and the reason for that is I’m not big on putting stuff about that onto the internet for thousands of people to see. However, in today’s case, I feel the story is funny and relatable enough to put... Continue Reading →
Blog: If Bible Characters Went to the Zoo
I don't know what made me want to do this blog post. Maybe it's the fact that I am the type of person to scroll endlessly through memes, or maybe it's because my brain just works in a really weird way, but here's what I think would happen if certain Bible characters visited a zoo....

Blog/News: My Reaction to the Rumors About Rings of Power Season 2. My Brain is Now Mush.
As you guys know, I hate Rings of Power to the ends of the Earth and it infuriates me to no end how little respect Amazon has for the Tolkien fandom's beloved professor and the stories he spent his life on. Now, with Season 2 of Rings of Power on the way (supposedly), the rumors... Continue Reading →
