On the Beginnings of The Lara-Su Chronicles
Rondo of Blog - Published: March 20, 2024
Today is, as of writing, the last day you can pre-order The Lara-Su Chronicles: Beginnings if you want to make it into the Special Thanks section of the book. Anyone who pre-orders after will be in the app, still, but I think it goes without saying the significance of having your name make it into the first printing. You can pre-order here.
Whether you go and pre-order it now or later, or if you’re looking back at this after the book’s come out, I think it’s gonna be worth the read. Today, I feel moved to write a little about what The Lara-Su Chronicles means to me. Read!
I Finally Watched Venom
Rondo of Blog - Published: October 18, 2023
Like a lot of people, I was alive when a surprising number of people actually ended up enjoying Venom (2018 film) - a film I’d technically followed for years, as one of my earliest memories of looking up the latest in comic book movie news was reading about Sony stringing along poor old Topher Grace with the promise of a big movie all for him.
I was surprised to see people reading it as a gay rom-com, I read their reasoning and found it sound enough, and even reblogged many such interpretations of the film! But I never actually got around to watching it until a couple weeks ago.
Sorry to report, I thought it was terrible! (Spoilers onward from this point.) Read!
Not Great, But OK

I like to think I’m a pretty good person. I do my best, I try and help people when I can, and I think I do a pretty good job at those things. Sometimes I’ll get thanked or complimented for what I do, and that’s all well and good.
It just kinda grates on me when I get talked up like I’m this overwhelmingly special and wonderful person because it keeps preceding me being treated in uniquely horrible ways.

Holy Seven Subscriptions, Batman!
Rondo of Blog - Published: June 9, 2023
So I’ve been reading a lot of comics lately. Like, a lot of comics. I’ve been going out on a limb, and honestly? It’s paid off! Yes, I’ve gotten to read solid comic book storytelling recently - and lots of it. And what do I have to show for it?
Seven different subscriptions to DC comics series, and one to a Marvel comic series. :’)

It's My Blog, I Can Do A Post About A Country Song If I Want To
Rondo of Blog - Published: January 30, 2023
I’m a big fan of Glen Campbell. I only discovered his work last year, but a lot of it hits a particular moody spot that all my favorite country music does. His performance in his Bloodline album has brought me to tears and helped me through so many tough times.
Tonight I wanna share some thoughts I had about his version of It’s A Sin When You Love Somebody from his 1974 album Reunion: The Songs Of Jimmy Webb. Read!

So I’ve been thinking a lot about X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009, Gavin Hood) since my beloved Cluster and I rewatched it a number of times recently. Wanted to write down some thoughts I’ve been having about it.
Particularly about Victor.
