First and foremost, all of these reflections are just like, my opinion. They’re based on my tastes and preferences and are definitely not intended as absolute proclamations of objective truth. Beyond that, there WILL BE SPOILERS for the thing reflected upon. Originally, these reflections were just ways for me to process my thoughts about a given thing and make a note that I’d consumed it, so that I could go back later and remember. Plus, they might be hard to follow and poorly written because I write them in one go after finishing the thing while it’s still mostly fresh in my mind and sometimes I run out of steam because I’ve got other stuff going on. I make mistakes, miss things, and am most certainly not an expert or trying to become one.
Furthermore, I am a picky reader, and tend to write more about things that irritate me than things I enjoy.
Further furthermore, I have a strong formalist streak, and am not much interested in meta analysis of text.
Lastly, I am from Seattle and have more hipster in me than I’d like. This means that I’m generally more critical of popular things than most people.
So, with all that said, please don’t take offense if I didn’t like your favorite book/story/serial/anime/manga/game/etc.
