Q: What did you think of Magia Record?! / How does your Madoka Rebellion Hot Take Fit Into Magia Record / When are you making a video on Magia Record??!

A: I will make a video when my thoughts are clear and I feel like it.

I liked the series, more than some people did apparently, I just don't have enough confidence in my take on the story it's telling to make a whole essay about it.

leave me alone pls

Q: What did you mean by-- [in x video or tweet]

i made a corrections compilation tracking and addressing all the things I said I didn't like or agree with anymore. if it's not about anything I said there, you're welcome to tweet at me or send me a tumblr ask if you like. however, please note that I'm not obligated to explain my feelings on the media I like or dislike any more than I already have.

Q: Why does your voice sound so masculine?

A: Fuck off.

i most often tweet/post steaming hot hot takes about currently airing anime, manga/LNs I happen to be reading, or games I am playing (sometimes foreshadowing future video essay content in doing so)

I also share a lot of arts of cute lesbian girls and it is occasionally NSFW. i don't go out of my way to hornypost but I also don't shy away from it

i am into vore, macrophilia/crushing, guro and think death is kinda hot. I keep posting about this to a minimum but it does come up once in a while

I have an alternate twitter account which is only updated when there are new video essays (@joyce__stick)

yes, that is a picrew avatar

please do not DM me asking for basic advice on how to make videos, gain a following, earn money online, etc. there are tons of online guides and forums devoted to that kind of thing, and I am busy making videos and being gay. (you can ask the community in my discord server, and I might happen to reply, just don't ask me, specifically)

please do not DM me asking if I can collaborate with you on any creative projects, unless you can provide existing examples of your own creative work. further, please do not attempt to solicit a commission for your art from me. I cannot afford to compensate you at this time. If I ever have money to pay an artist and am in need of one, I may reach out to you.

(if you want a voiceline for a video essay quote though, that's cool, just ask me nicely and I'll do it if you seem cool and I have the time)

Do Not Interact with me if you're transphobic, homophobic, pluralphobic, right-wing, bootlicking centrist, think it's okay to use slurs, or deny the queerness of queer characters and people

five pretty good videos of mine

What's Missing From Spy Movies: Princess Principal & Code-Switching

In discussing the steampunk/political spy thriller anime Princess Principal, which also happens to have cute gay girls in it, I talk about how the show sets itself apart from other spy stories in both the quality of the espionage and the queerness of its narrative.
