Biased Yet Scientific List of the Greatest Anime Boys

In the name of psychoanalyzing myself over and over again until I implode, I’ve recently examined the anime characters I find, or have found, most aesthetically appealing.

These are not my favorite boys of 2026. They are my favorites as chosen by my younger selves throughout time and space. Also, because the anime I’ve watched lately have been in the single digits, my list stops short at, like, 2015. Let’s get scratchin’!

I feel like I’m working on fifty creative things but forty-nine of the things aren’t out yet!

Let’s Just Chat About Catgirl System

Time feels short and distractions seem many. Right now I don’t want to write much other than Catgirl System, and other projects (including my blog posts) threaten to screech to a halt. So…why not smash them together into an unholy conglomerate? Join me for a LitRPG chat around the fire.

Take a Break: Let Your Body Catch Up with Your Mind

If there’s “no good reason” why you should feel burned out, yet you feel burned out, consider a rest. After that, your feelings might go, “Wait, it doesn’t seem hard anymore. …Huh.”

It sounds fake when I put it that way, but it’s been true for me.

A Catgirl System Ultimatum

I will finish this story in Summer 2025.
