When an uninvited call girl’s attempt to make easy money is foiled because of a sleeping client, a large scale sting operation planned by the police is also derailed. Brothels, sterile hospitals, and a time set three-hundred years in the future make this the perfect backdrop for Superintendent Inspector ...

SquareEnix Life is Strange Review
kawaiidaigakusei at 12:00AM, April 6, 2020
With more time spent at home, I have been able to dive into some of my favorite past-times that I used to do when I was middle school aged. One of them being playing video games. Growing up, Squaresoft and the Final Fantasy video game series completely shaped my identity ...

On Writing Therapists 1
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Jan. 11, 2020
I've already written a bunch of articles on writing mental illness, so I figured I should write about writing therapists as well!

Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Jan. 4, 2020
So the third and final installment in the new Disney Star Wars trilogy is out. Personally, I haven't seen it yet, mainly because the mild curiosity I have can wait until the movie hits the streaming services.

Sexposition (Do NOT Google That)
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Dec. 21, 2019
The word for ‘porn’ in Greek is unsurprisingly ‘porn’. But its vernacular synonym is a word that in reality means ‘tack-on’ or ‘added scrap’. It signifies the common (or at least until recently common) assumption that scenes with explicit sexual activity were there to pad the runtime for a movie ...
