Alright, points for being an interesting idea for a functional Halloween decoration, but those bones look less than comfortable as an actual seat.

A Halloween store display of seating benches that are shaped to resemble long uneven rows of oversized arm and leg bones, resting on giant skulls for support.

Is Rein’s enhancement magic good enough to take on a dragon? Or even the moody broody adventurer Lily who tags along on his quest? My confidence is on par with Nina’s…😬 I’m excited to see where #TheLaidOffCheatGrantingMage takes us! @hollisbeck.com @justinbriner.bsky.social @laceydeline.bsky.social

So, it’s Autumn, huh? I couldn’t tell from the weather here.😅 It’s the only remaining season before I will have been a Texas resident for a full year. And I get the feeling this is the time of year I’ll be missing Colorado most.🍂🧡

This person and those like them need to read and meditate on the meaning of Romans 6:1-2.

“What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭6‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NIV‬‬

If you want to know the measure of Mike McFarland’s impact, just look at the online anime spaces today, overflowing with grief and gratitude. He was full of love and passion, as those who knew him well can speak to better than I can. As a fan, this is how I will remember him.🕯️♥️

Mike McFarland was a creator of joy and excitement. He took the stories and characters he was given and he visualized in them the Epic, the Compelling, the Heart-wrenching, the Haunting, the Sorrowful, the Hilarious, the Fantastic and the Real. He brought it all to vibrant life, with great care and brilliant insight, either from the booth or in guiding his casts from the director’s chair. Through Mike we were able to vibrantly experience, in our own language, the stories, characters and moments that made us think, feel, and dream. If you’re an anime fan it is almost a certainty that a story, a character, a spoken line, an unforgettable scene with Mike’s influence on it is embedded in your mind and heart, forever a part of the joy and excitement that fuels us as anime fans. I can’t imagine Mike could be any happier than to know we are carrying him with us this way. Thank you for giving us your light, Mike. We’ll keep it shining for you.

Once again one of our neighbors cats added inventory to the cat distribution system and it would be wrong of me not to share the adorbz with y’all. 2 weeks old and tiny enough for one to comfortably rest their head between my index and middle finger when I picked em up.🥰🥰🥰

Quite an honor (and a lot of pressure) for this Colorado guy and my smoker to be trusted with the title and responsibility of Rib Master for the big Texas family July 4th BBQ in my first year as a resident here. I gave it my best for the fam.🫡

With Coco sick and Qifrey busy, it’s Tartah’s time to shine! It bears repeating that with Tartah, @eneveswrites.bsky.social is adding a whole new chapter to her legend as one of anime’s all-time best actors. #WitchHatAtelier’s dub keeps on showcasing current legends while also establishing new ones!

Kyle Collins @kylecinvail.bsky.social · 18/05/2026

One of my favorite performances in #WitchHatAtelier has to be @eneveswrites.bsky.social as Tartah. Simply enchanting, and unlike anything I’ve heard from Emily before in all my years as a longtime fan. Truly one of the best voice actors in the business!

A kitten a day keeps the sadness away. Our neighbor’s cat gave birth a few weeks ago and they let us borrow a cup of pure preciousness for a bit. It would be greedy of me not to share this gift with y’all, as a timeline cleanse.😻😻😻

I could listen to @madeleinemorris.actor, @sarahwiedenheft.com and #NeridaBronwen speak in these vibrant, enchanting voices for days. Good golly @emilyjfajardo.bsky.social assembled such a top-tier cast for every single character in #WitchHatAtelier. Talk about music to the ears.👂 ✨

I was unfortunately unable to get close enough for a good clear photo before they ran/flew off, but I bet not many of us have ever seen a cardinal and a white tail in the lunch line together.

Kyle Collins @kylecinvail.bsky.social · 06/04/2026

“Thank you for your thanks!” No @sarahwiedenheft.com, thank YOU for using your unparalleled voice acting magic to enchant us all as Tetia!! And Nerida Bronwen is a delight as dear sleepy Richeh!! What a dub this already is! #WitchHatAtelier @hereliesanjali.bsky.social @emilyjfajardo.bsky.social

Kyle Collins @kylecinvail.bsky.social · 06/04/2026

The introduction of Agott is one I’ve been looking forward to, and @madeleinemorris.actor is already going above and beyond!! The first scene of all four apprentices in #WitchHatAtelier was delightfully bewitching! @hereliesanjali.bsky.social @sarahwiedenheft.com @emilyjfajardo.bsky.social

Bit of a different view for me this Thanksgiving. Still pretty though, and I am as thankful as ever. I hope you’ve all had a great one!🦃🥧🫶 #HappyThanksgiving

Carved out TWO pumpkins this year, and boy are these hands of mine spent!😮‍💨 First, Kaiju No 8’s Kikoru and Kafka, then a throwback to classic Peanuts. Happy Halloween!!🎃👻🖤🧡

By train, by car, by foot, I made sure that what is likely to be my last autumn in Colorado for a while was well traveled.🚂🚙🥾

Fall colors and rugged peaks seen from an 1800s steam powered train.

Everyone looks forward to what comes at October’s end🎃, but in these parts October’s beginning is something to look forward to as well🍁. And there’s no better way to see it than this in my opinion.🚂

Just had a spectacular Autumn twilight storm roll over us and as the setting sun peeked through, it made everything, well, spectacular! 😍

I’ve showcased this wild guardrail-less stretch of Colorado highway that I’ve driven many times, and even though crashes here are more rare than you may think, tragedy does strike every so often, as it sadly did yesterday. Prayers for the surviving daughter and loved ones..🙏

Kyle Collins @kylecinvail.bsky.social · 03/08/2025

Favorite anime of the season - #KaijuNo8. Favorite part of the show - the compelling dynamic between @nazeehtarsha.bsky.social’s Kafka & @askforabigail.bsky.social’s Kikoru in moments like this, with Kikoru giving Kafka the kick he needs to finally bring back his Kaiju form. Superb! @shawngann.art

This old steam train was the first love and passion I ever had as a child, and the joy I get from my interests today like anime & such comes from the same part of me. This ticket to spend one more day riding the rails before we depart Colorado is such a meaningful birthday gift.

Kyle Collins @kylecinvail.bsky.social · 23/07/2025

My Level Up Day!🥳🎂 NGL, the last 8 months of this past year of age kicked my ass thoroughly and left me now deep in the middle of the greatest life upheaval I’ve ever known. Even so, I’m doing my best to live in gratitude, and I’m absolutely grateful for everyone in this community. Cheers!🍻

Aaaaah-ha-ha-haa!! Lady Isabelle turns from haughty villainess to humble selflessness on a dime, and leave it to @thedonutgremlin.bsky.social to brilliantly capture both sides and make the transition seamlessly. You don’t want to miss #SecretsOfTheSilentWitch on Crunchyroll!

Kyle Collins @kylecinvail.bsky.social · 18/07/2025

Can’t express how much I love this casting especially in #SecretsOfTheSilentWitch. I love Isabelle from reading the light novels and to have @thedonutgremlin.bsky.social voice her is both a perfect casting choice and a very meaningful one to me personally.☺️ Congratulations Kayli!!

Living in my home town (for a while between more permanent destinations) after so many years is a strange feeling. But at least it allows me enough time to get reacquainted with some of my oldest friends - and my first childhood passion.🥰🚂🛤️
