Please help fund my transition so I can achieve my final form (a single, planet-sized boob hanging ominously in the night sky)

meanwhile every queer creative is at risk of having their entire lives crushed by deplatforming and debanking if any of these corporations get a whiff of them making anything horny

I don't care if The McDonald's Corporation truly cares about transsexuals like me in its heart of hearts, I care that the soulless CEOs and numbers crunchers have realized that their customer base largely supports LGBTQ+ rights bc that's a sign the tide is fucking turning

There are many ways you could spend your weekend, I suggest you spend it with my favorite group of Magical Girls. Look I read ALOT of fiction that supposedly understands Japanese literature (if you think manga isn't included there you're wrong) this is the only series I have ever read. Ever.

Parker's not unattractive but he's got such a long face. He looks like the long-faced boy from that one Sailor Moon SuperS episode

By episode three they're already changing up the premise and doing a time loop. It feels a bit early to be doing this, but oh well. Not really a fan of the "Women are complicated!" subplot. Parker's at his least likeable when he's pestering Olga. What's up with the 90s and everyone being straight

Man, there is like zero security in DC in this show. I guess it is 1998, so the NSA is just a bunch of guys hanging out discussing how 9/11 is never going to happen

Fascinating to see a show speculate on how 9/11 would be reported on three years before it happened

Sitting down to watch Seven Days, the sci-fi show that says "It's 1998 and 9/11 will never happen!" Did... they just open on the protagonist pretending to be Hitler Like, I understand the point they're making is that this guy is very weird and unstable but that's a hell of a choice

Honestly one reason you couldn't make this show now (and it's something the new Quantum Leap touched on) is that it's a lot harder to believe the government wouldn't be using time travel for corruption and petty bullshit

Xan @comicsbyxan.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
American action shows from the 90s are fascinating because it's this brief period where America didn't really have a designated enemy. "The terrorists are from... shit, I dunno, Chechnya? Serbia? Do you think we could just make up a Middle Eastern country?"

In one episode they use the time travel thing to prevent the suicide of the Vice President Which is just funny. Can you imagine the current administration authorizing the use of time travel to save JD Vance

I am told that the anime skipped over some of her development, so hopefully the manga solves some of these issues. Because she's a really sympathetic character! I just think the anime didn't spend enough time going into her whole deal

Xan @comicsbyxan.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
Plus there were already, uh, some other hurdles to clear with this character in particular. The series is usually pretty good at sidestepping the whole "Hoo boy this really should be problematic" thing, but Chiyo's... Chiyo-ness already made her a harder sell.

"Gifted kid well on the way to burnout whose perfectionism drives people away", aside from describing my teenage self, is a great concept for a GF. But having her show up and point out everyone's imperfections - in a show that's frequently about embracing your imperfections - certainly was a choice

Xan @comicsbyxan.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
It probably says something that this 100 Girlfriends GF I struggle to like the most is also the one I was most similar to when I was young (Chiyo. It's Chiyo)

My favorite part of season 1 TNG is how the tight uniforms and lack of padding makes everyone, Patrick Stewart included, look like gangly 13 year olds

A guy is destined to have 100 girlfriends at the same time, and is also the most considerate boyfriend ever. It's a parody of the harem rom com genre but treats the premise with total sincerity.
