Free-Time Follies

[sankseas]

 Don't get real free-time often - there's usually commissions to work on, or chores to do - and when I do, I waste time figuring out how to spend it. The vicious cycle!!

Today, I have free time! And a long weekend! Gonna list all of my fun to-dos so I can just pick & go.

[To Watch] She-ra | Revue Satrlight | Princess Knight

[To Read] East | Finding the Beauty in the Beast

[To Draw] Fanart | Projects

[To Write] Fanfic | Projects

[To Play] Demos | Game Jams
 

& some holiday plans (surprising my dad with movie tickets, finishing some presents, spending Christmas day painting with the family!) Semi-related note ... got myself a present. Utena's Black Rose boxset. It arrived early. It's sitting under the tree, mocking me. I'm not good with waiting lol.

What are you saving for free time? How are you spending the holidays? Hope you have a lovely time!!

It also goes harder with the surrealism, so heads-up. I'm a fan of it, but some people like it's earlier balance of real/surreal.

Glad my rec was good :D Let me know if you check it out / what you think.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) that sounds veeeeery good. i liked the first arc for its subjects and themes, and then fell a bit out of it because of the second arc's pacing. kinda sad that they had to wrap up everything in one episode because there were a lot of storys i really enjoyed


sure thing!

;))))) well, hope you enjoy the Apocalypse Saga - such an awesome name lol. Black Rose Saga definitely has it's flaws (especially pacing, oof) but I'm such a sucker for the imagery / mystery of that arc.

haha that is indeed a great name for an arc!
yeah me too! i really liked this…… can i even call it a psychological thriller? part of utena, especially with ikuhara's visual language. i really appreciate creator's who can leave details up for interpretation

The boxset calls Utena a "psychological roller coaster" - but it's hard to pin down one genre for it, huh? Magical girl, psych thriller, surreal action?? All good :'D

Really inspired by that level of visuals & mysteries!!
