Hey guys! I'm a bit late this month I know... Imma be honest not only did I forget to make this, I forgot to take notes for the entire month, but it's fine! I'm gonna wing it!! At least it'll stop me from yapping so much...

✖ Website ✖

Nothing has been changed on the site, woops, I did make some cool DELTARUNE (more on that later) stuff for, you guessed it, my good friend Pudding's website! So go check that!!

I've been practicing art quite a bit recently, I really wanna get very good at it before I continue some projects... So sorry for always promising stuff but never really doing anything about that. It'll happen, for sure, but it'll take a while, sorry about that.

Actually I lied?? Something did change! The Sonic Journey page is open and you can access it right there, on the left! Only a few games are there for now, but I didn't expect to already write THIS much. I hope the page will be able to handle everything by the end... Hopefully! So if you're in dire need of reading a bunch of nonsense, feel free to head there!

✖ Life ✖

About life.. Finals are finally done! And I (barely) passed!! But I did it!! Not much else to say here, some exams were really unfair tbh but that doesn't matter since I still somehow got through! I have to find a job now though... and I got no replies from anything yet.......

Literally the DAY after those were done, I went to an Anime con! It was the first time I went there not being tied to being accompagned by my sister since I'm finally old enough, and being able to roam around and do anything by yourself was sooo much fun. I loved seeing all the cosplayers! So many Mikus and Tetos.. (Though a lot of them were male www), but I met one cosplaying as Sakiko from Ave Mujica!! She was happy that I recognized her ww, it's fun to see people liking the same things as you, in these events you can basically talk to anyone as if youve already known them for years, it's so cool!!

I spent a few hours checking out the booths, but most of my time was spent in the back playing games. Not only did I have a 0 loss streak in Smash Ultimate, beat Mario 64 on og hardware, there was a Groove Coaster Cab!! I had made friends with a Mokou cosplayer, and we basically stayed there the entire afternoon taking turns playing, I really loved that...

For merch, the only Blue Archive things ive found were these keychains, so I got my favorites from the lot. Also got a cute figure of Kita!

Speaking of Blue Archive, they did a surprise Rerun of Track Suit Mari's banner... And since I missed her the two previous ones, this basically was my last chance! It got me to finish the story though (thoughts on that: story is very good, but the forced combats towards the end drag for way too long and really kill the pace). It took about 100 pulls, but I got my girl!! (Okay actually Pajamas Yuuka's banner just started, and I got her on my FIRST pull. WHAT?!??)

Almost there..
It also was my birthday this month!!

I have a bit of a complicated history with it, I've never really had any memorable birthdays, quite the opposite actually. But this time, I was very fortunate to have a good friend looking out for me, and he sent me a box full of things from his country to eat!

(It was very tasty) (Not the box itself, what was inside) (Okay the box was tasty too)
He's from Brazil, and I was surprised by HOW strong most of these flavors are compared to ours?? I spent an entire afternoon taste testing everything inside and made a tierlist!


Here are my totally not wrong opinions!!
It was fun, but it's safe to say I did not feel that good the day after lol
I'm very glad to finally have such a good friend, it's the first time this day actually felt meaningful and I hope this won't ever change.

(Also they finally restocked Guarana at my local store, I'm ready for the month.)

Second to last, the only thing I've watched this month is Chiikawa! The manga just started releasing, and I totally loved it! The next volume comes out next month I can't wait.... The anime was so heartwarming and fun, there's nothing quite like it. You probably all know that already though, and if you don't what are you waiting for? My favorite character is Hachiware.. He's too precious.

And lastly... Yes, DELTARUNE's new chapters came out. And, I think that I have a lot to say? There's just SO much to talk about, I'll probably make an entire entry about it. Just know that I loved every second of it!

(Check out this cool art me and my friends made!)

Still pretty long huh.. woops! I wonder if anyone is actually reading this... If you are, tell me "Good night" in the guestbook, trust me I really need it. (Sorry if this update is weird and full of mistake, its late and i barely slept this previous night too)
I hope you all enjoyed! Goodnight!

Good morning everyone! It's the beginning of a new month! And wow, a LOT sure has happened hasn't it? So let's get started on recalling what happened for the past month!

✖ Website ✖

Hm, for the website, not much has changed. Well, nothing, even. But some will soon! The progress on MiyOS's revamp has gotten slow but steady progress, the art for the main 4 is even done!

There's not much I can say about it it yet, but it's gonna be very cool....

As for the Sonic Journey page, it'll be up very very soon! This, or next week! I spent a ton of time on it, and it'll have a lot to read, so if like me you have a bunch of time to waste, and want to make fun of my weird taste in games, I hope you'll enjoy reading through it!

Are You Up 2 It?! I am! I've been playing Sonic Advance 2 for the past 3 days...

That's it for the site for now... As I said, slow but steady! Better than nothing at all... right?

✖ Life ✖

Now about things that happened... Coming in hot on the 8th of April was when my friends and I went to see "A Minecraft Movie" after its RELEASE!!! i'll stop. We had been memeing about it for the past like, 3 months, going everyday like "THE NETHER" or even calling anything normal with super exaggerated voices, it was fun. We even were able to see the movie in English, which also was very nice. Actually seeing the movie felt amazing, like an end to all this chaos, the conclusive end of the journey (lol). As for the movie itself, well... I'd say it's good in the sense that, it's super fun. Not an amazing mind-blowing story, it makes no sense and is super all over the place but, isn't that totally how it feels to play Minecraft online in friends? I kinda feel the same with this movie as I do with the Super Mario Bros. Movie, it's a fun, mindless time, but sometimes that's what you need! Movies, games, they don't always need the deepest meaning behind them, just some dumb idiot fun that looks cool can work, and this movie delivered that! I recommend watching it with some friends and just, having a good time.

My girlfriend and I made nametags for everyone, people kept staring at us it was funny.

Then the next week, I began frantically playing Blue Archive non-stop. Why? Because it was Idol Mari's banner! Mari is my favorite character, and there was no way I'd miss that opportunity. I had saved about 70 pulls, thinking it could be enough as I often was lucky with this game. But I tried, and tried, and I would but everyone but who I actually wanted! I don't think I've played a game this much in a single week, I did the most missions I could, read almost the entire stories, did everything I could every day to get the most currency I could. Yet I could not pull her!! Blue Archive has this feature where if you have 200 pulls during an event, you can spark one of the characters from the banner, meaning you get them no matter what, so I made it my goal to get to 200 pulls, but still hoping I could get her before that. Pulls after pulls, nothing, I was going insane.

Everyone but Mari!!!💢💢

You usually pull 10 at a time to increase odds, but I often thought "lol it'd be funny if I did a single pull and got her here", and one time at around 180 pulls I did. And it's when I got her. This only ever happens to me LOLLL. Thanks to that though, I still went through the remaining 20 pulls to spark for Idol Sakurako, so in the end, it was still a win. I'm never opening this game again until Seia's banner is up. That's soon, oh no.

I could finally rest happy...

Speaking of BA, our discord theme which was broken as all hell is back now! Thank you for breaking it all discord! It even has new cool features, so go give it a try here if you want!
[Here]

Second to last, I somehow ended up getting lost in an empty parking lot - big big tldr: this day was a holiday ONLY in our region, so i did not know. of course that's the day i wanted to do groceries, so i do to a store but lo and behold, it's closed. I check online for open stores, and it seems that the one in a mall closeby is open, so I go to check. The mall itself is closed, but maybe the store was open? It's a floor under the mall, so I probably could access it by going underground? And the only way to do that that I found was to OPENLY WALK INTO THE UNDERGROUND PARKING LOT, BY THE CAR ENTRANCE. Of course the store was closed, I had to make a round across the parking lot, it was so weird, having weird classical music, and even jumbled announcements on speakers, it felt straight from one of those weird 'horror' games. I finally got out after a good 20 minutes, never again.

Really, never again...

Lastly, my good friend Pudding randomly told me to play Portal one day. I had already bought Portal 1 and 2 years ago but never played them, so i thought sure, let's do that! And wow, I'm glad I did, they really are phenomenal experiences. Portal 1 is simpler, but the story is just as nice, and I liked how I could cheat pretty much every test chamber by jumping and messing with props. The entire game was a ton of fun, and I really wanted to see more, so I booted Portal 2 up pretty much right after. And wow, it was super amazing too. The story was intriguing even if very predictable, the humor was on point, I loved every moment when Wheatley and GLaDOS would interact together, they're an amazing pair of enemies. While 2 was the bigger game of the two, I felt like it still had some flaws. The game does beautiful setpieces with a ton of environmental story telling, and I love that! But I really did not like that they tried to shoe horn some puzzles during these moments, as most of these puzzles was just "look around until you find the one wall you can portal to", I often found myself stuck during these moments. The actual chambers are amazing though, some gave me a lot of trouble, but when I found the answer there always was that "ohhh that's clever" feeling, unlike the "oh that kinda sucks" of the ones i talked about previously." I could talk for hours about these but i'll stop now, you should really really try them, they're not only fun, but the story is super interesting too, plus they're often super cheap, you really shouldn't pass on them!

I love the turrets, they're my friends...

Well, I talked a lot again... Hopefully at least one person was interested in all that.
Finals started yesterday, and let's just say, well, it wasn't that great of a start LOL. But that's fine, I think. I made a cake today though, and it's super good! Banana brownie... I wanna eat it all but I have to keep some for people visiting tomorrow wwww
I hope you're all doing well!!

Goodnight!

Good evening everyone! It's the start of the month, and that means a new blog update! Woohoo!!

✖ Website ✖

The website hasn't changed a lot this past month, but I've been working hard! I talked about MiyOS getting reworked, as I want it to actually be an actual story other than just an OC log (and also look a lot better...), and work on that has started! Here is a sneakpeek at it! Mind that everything here is still under development and might change!

I want it to be more interactive now, and have lots of secrets! (As you can see from the Log-In page that already is up, but doesn't have anything yet lol). You can even move the window now! I have to work on getting multiple windows open at once...) I hope you're looking forward to it!

Something else site related happened this month! Something about fools in Aprils... And the biggest fool I could think of is my good friend Pudding!(Don't worry, his internet has been down since yesterday, he can't see this! wwww)
For this occasion, he (and totally NOT me), wrote a brand new chapter about some of Phoenix Club's side characters! Go read it here!

Read clube fénix

✖ Life ✖ We're in APRIL?? I refuse to believe it's already been 4 months since 2025 started... Also, it's already SO hot outside?? In April?! I already fear the Summer... Well, I don't have time to worry about that, it's Spring here, and I'm already dying from hay fever, I hate pollen. The entire world is against me fr!!
At least I'm on break now! But this break also means finals soon... Scary.
Apart from that... I'm going to watch the.. Well, A Minecraft Movie with some friends on Tuesday! We found a place where they air it in English, it's gonna be fun! I don't really have high hopes for it, especially story wise, but it seems like a fun movie that doesn't take itself too seriously, so I'm gonna expect one like this! We're gonna be a group of 7, I don't think I've managed to assemble such a big group before... I'm really proud and happy of that www. Expect a review when we're done!!

Now to talk about cool things I've watched/read!

BanG Dream! It's MyGO!!!!! / Ave Mujica - The Die is Cast - When the month started, I saw a few images of the Ave Mujica anime on my Twitter TL. It looked really weird and cool, and I wanted to actually start watching something for once, and so I decided to give it a try! And wow, I was instantly blown away. The presentation, the songs, the theme it talked about, it was all really well done! (I mean, there's a reason why it has a spot on my home page, lol) BanG Dream was something I always was a bit interested in, just like other Idol shows/games like Love Live and IdolM@ster (I'll get to them one day...) and I was surprised that I was missing out on THIS. It was only later that I learned that Ave Mujica was an outlier, their group not even being in the game! (Yet at least). I still enjoyed the anime a lot, every character is filled with a story and a personality, a lot of which I had NEVER seen before, I was often mindblown after each episode. I highly recommend it! (Trying my best to be concise without spoiling anything.) But while watching it, I always felt like something was off. Some side characters felt a bit out of place? It's like I'm supposed to already know them. It's only when I was around episode 11 of Ave Mujica that I learned... IT'S A SEQUEL TO ANOTHER ANIME?! (Side note, AveMuji still does an amazing job with these characters, while it IS a sequel, it stands perfectly on its own!) And so, I rushed to my computer to start watching "It's MyGO!!!!!" and wow, it was also super amazing. It drops you right into a conflict, one that will follow you through each season. Every little bit of character interaction is so fun, yet it's all important! Plus it looks so good, I've seen a few band anime that always fall in the same tropes, but these two really are in their own world! While AveMuji's biggest pro is the drama and the conflicts, MyGO really stands out with its characters, they're all so lovable, I want the best for all of them! Raana really is my favorite... I managed to finish it before AveMuji stopped airing and so I rewatched ALL of AveMuji so that I was caught up right before the last episode. I haven't actually said a lot to get you to watch it, but that's because I would really want anyone who watches these two anime to discover what they're about by themselves. Being clueless about it is what made me enjoy it that much. Go watch them now NOW NOW!!!

T-This segment was longer than I expected... I'll make the rest quick...
I had a friend come over to waste time before work, and they noticed my collection of yuri manga. After catching me reading some on my phone a few days later, they got interested and so I set everything up on their phone, and so we started reading some together to discuss them! Such as

"The Guy She Was Interested In Wasn't A Guy At All!" You know, the funny yuri with every page being BRIGHT NEON GREEN, which is the reason I've avoided it all this time. And I really shouldn't have! First of all, the green grew on me after a few chapters, it really makes it more fun and unique to read, lol. But apart from that, the story is so endearing and nice! It's nothing to write home about, but that doesn't mean it's bad, FAR from it, sometimes simpler is better, and this proves it perfectly. Honestly a perfect entry level yuri now that I think about it. The art is super good and the characters are fun, what else to ask for! Green? What? No not green, stop. I don't have much else to say, if you like music, go read it! If you like yuri, GO READ IT.

This whole thing also lead me to read

"I Want to Love You Till Your Dying Day" Had this one on the list for a while, and so I decided to give it a try! As always, I had NO idea what it was about. I was so surprised that it was about magic! The way it uses that setting, mixed with a war is phenomenal, it makes the yuri even more endearing! (Lol, it feels like I'm talking about two things at once.) The art in this manga feels super familiar, but I don't know why, the artist hasn't made anything I know so maybe I'm just going insane. But the art is super fluffy and bubbly, yet knows when to get more serious, and even a bit gruesome, it really adds to the contrast, I love it! The characters are all so cute, it's the type of manga you read with this stupid grin on your face the entire time. Nothing much else to say without spoiling, a mix of yuri and magic, what else could you ask for! (These really arent reviews, more so "Miya says whatever about what she wants", you should know by now that these posts are all over the place).

I hadn't bought manga in a long while, but these two were so good that I bought each of their first volume! And I'll probably buy the rest too, woops.

You know what I WON'T be buying though? The Nintendo Switch 2. I was even saving up for it, but like. The price of the console is okay, but 90€ for a SINGLE GAME?? 60€ already was a bit much, but I get it, it's a fair price to pay for manufacturing and all the devs. But 90 is pushing it way too much. Not only that, but the console itself has me pretty disappointed. We've had the Switch main menu for close to 8 years now, and it's super boring, and the Switch 2's is the EXACT same, down to the settings. I love when consoles feel like a new thing, have their own identity, but that is NOT it, I'm really bummed by that. The games themselves though, look extremely good. Mario Kart World seems super fun, I love all the characters, like, FISH BONE?? Yes please. The open world aspect also feels like a good thing to just lay down and have fun in while watching something. The upgraded games also look super good too, seeing BOTW and TOTK run like this officially is impressive, and KIRBY AIR RIDE IN 2025??? WHAT. I was yelling during the entire Direct, but the prices really cut my hype down.
But that's fine.
I would have been too busy on release either way.
BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE BEEN PLAYING DELTARUNE!! ITS FINALLY COMING OUT AND I CANT WAIT!!! Isn't it insane that Toby Fox went from a little indie dev doing his weird game practically alone, to being an insanely anticipated launch game for a Nintendo console??!!!

I'll stop here, I'm going too far for this post LMAO, hopefully I'll do little ones this month, stay tuned!!!

Goodnight!

I'm part of Pudding's newest Blog Update!

We've been working on a lot lately! I had to draw an entire manga chapter again... So go read it now!! I also basically did my own blog update over on his site, so also go read it, please!!!

Read the Blog Update
(For people in the future, it's the last March 2025 Update!)

Read Phoenix Club
(For people still in the future, the new content is: Chapter 9.5, and Phoenix Club Mini - Ice Cream Trial!)

Goodnight!

- Miya

It's a new start of the month... So it calls for a new blog update!

Have you noticed, the entire main page has been completely redone! The original one was cool, but it felt a little bland. Now it's super busy and even has themes! This is honestly what I had imagined for the site when I first made it, so I'm so glad it became a reality!

I had the idea for this at... 3 am on a random day, but I didn't want to forget, so have the first sketch of this new main page done in 30 seconds on my phone, by a very tired Miya. I guess it looks a little similar, www

The page now has so many cool features... From funny scripts to cool new art, I love it! (I really love how I edited the 'oneko' scripts to use the cats from Little Busters!....) I've even been working on remaking the site logo!

The Sonic page is coming along too... It should be ready next month, since that's when we start playing all the games!! I'm honestly very hyped for it.

Thank you all for the very nice feedback on everything so far, I'm so glad people enjoy it!!!

As for stories... Phoenix Club: Mini will be releasing soon (When Pudding finally gets to it, I don't know what he's up to but I'll link it here when it's done!) I've worked a bunch on it, it was hard, it's not perfect, but I'm still proud of it! It's a fun little silly story, I hope you'll all enjoy it!

(I don't know if I'm allowed to show this, so don't tell anyone...!)

As for my own stories.. Project S Chapter 3... I promised it two months ago.... And last month... And.... It's finally done! It's a fairly important chapter, despite what happens in it. I'll try to get 4 done soon, as 3 kinda ends abruptly, but I still hope you'll enjoy! Coming with it, the previous chapters have been reworked a little, I fixed a few errors, and changed the formatting so that it's better to read. I want it to be of the highest quality! If you have any feedback or questions or anything, please tell me on my guestbook or on Twitter!

(You can read my story here...!)

That's it for now... Lately, I've been watching BanG Dream! Ave Mujica. I've never really touched anything Bandoori related before, and I honestly don't even know why I started watching it. But I was pleasently surprised by it! The way the story is told is super interesting, it conveys feelings in such a unique and understandable way. It also doesn't shove explanations down your throat, you're left having to understand and find out things yourself, something a lot of works miss nowadays... The characters are so full life and are wonderfully written. And the music is suuuuper good! They're all I've been listening to lately lol, I recommend it! CGI anime have been getting really good lately, I love the style of them now.

I've also been getting more into collecting cards... From Sonic the Hedgehog to Pokémon... I finally got my favorite Pokémon Card! It's Nanjamo, my favorite character, drawn by Terada Tera, my favorite artist!

Annd, I think that's it for now! Thanks everyone for keeping up with me, chatting with people and updating the site has been super fun, I'll do my best to release cool stuff for anyone! Goodnight...!

Little tiny quick update to tell you three (or four) [it even said two at first...] things!

First of all, I made a banner for NekoWeb!

Just like the banners on my site, you have a small chance of seeing it every time you visit the main homepage of the entire site! I think it's so cool, and I'm SO happy my submission got accepted! Big thanks dimden and everyone else!

it does look very cool doesn't it...

Furthermore, I did a lot of work on my good friend's Pudding's new pages! He almost updated his entire site, and is still at it doing it! I did the cool new logo for it, and a fair bit of the code too, especially for the home page (i also helped with the color choices, trust me it was necessary...). His site is the reason why I'm even on here in the first place so go give it a look! Now !!!

Also, I'm stealing something from his update that's coming out tomorrow. We're working on a 4Koma tied to the story we're writing, Phoenix Club! I won't tell much details right now as it's far from being done, but I hope it'll be very cool! That'll be the second PheClu manga project I do... It's very tiring to do, but also exhilirating! I can't wait for it to be done lol

here's the thumbnail for it....!

Lastly, my own story, Project S. I promised chapter 3 last month, whoops. It'll happen fairly soon, the first part of it is already written at least! I've said this a few times, but it's such a tricky chapter to get right, it's one of the most importants so I really want it to be perfect. Soon....! I promise............!

Not much else to say... I've read a few mangas, started some anime but didn't really go through them, maybe I will. I wanna try to play more games, I've been very boring lately but I can't seem to get started on anything.

That's it for now, short but sweet! I'm finally on break tomorrow... I can't wait to sleep.

It's almost February, and sadly that means that the current season of Pretty Cure has just ended...!

This year, it was Wonderful Precure!, A season really different from what the others had to offer, for a lot of reasons. First of all, the theme is about the bond between animals and humans, something with a lot of potentials!

The start of the series honestly felt super slow, especially since I was watching it real time. Nothing was advancing, there was no real story and the arc of Iroha and Komugi getting mad at each other was really jarring (Especially since it came RIGHT after Hirogaru Sky, which was jampacked with action and tons of twists and turns). That's what I would have said at the time, but looking back on these episodes, they are the reason we grew so attached to these characters. I really loved the Hirogaru Sky characters, but the cast of Wonderful is honestly soo charming, they're really lovely and thats why even filler episodes were a ton of fun. The series still was a little slow after that, with the whole 'Nyammy doesn't want to join the team arc', but once that was over, it actually started getting into the story and being super interesting (I'm still so surprised that this season took THIS long to get the team together, and to even introduce the villains?? It really was experimental). Torame and Zakuro were fine villains, even if a bit basic, their interactions with the cast was very fun, especially how it all got resolved. But even after that, the interactions between the main characters were amazing, Satoru is probably my favorite character, his whole personality and how he bounces off with Meymey and everyone else, and his romantic arc with Iroha introduced some of the best episodes of the season - The episode I stole the title from, 'A Special Kind of Wonderful', is probably one of my favorite episodes of anything ever -.

If I had one thing to say about this series, it's that the ending felt a bit too rushed, they should have given it one or two more episodes and maybe remove some fillers. It feels like the conflict gets resolved way too quickly, which removes a lot of the impact the ending could have had. Still, that second part of the last episode tore me to shreds, I really recommend watching it.

Overall, Wonderful Precure was a great, very fun series. Watching it every week honestly helped getting attached to all these wonderful characters. Iroha and Komugi being so goofy and funny together, Mayu and Yuki being so cute I love them so much, Satoru and Daifuku are both so extremely cool (those last episodesAGGHJLKLL), and Meymey is just extremely charming, I love the floof ball. I'd say I didnt really like Niko-sama? She was kinda annoying, but the biggest gripe with this series - Apart from the lack of fights, which I got used to but still wished we saw more of -, is the under utilised transformations?? Niko-sama has an entire human transformation that's teased for a while and it's used for practically nothing? I thought she'd help the Cures fight or something but no. And the Cures themselves, they have this whole "Ribbon Diamond Style" transformation in every later episodes, but it's ONLY used for the finisher move, we NEVER see them outside of the cutscene, and it's so frustrating every time.

Apart from that, it was super fun, every Precure season tries to do its own thing, and this one really makes its ideas work! I recommend everyone to watch it, it's a fun laid back show that you don't need to think to watch, it's mindless fun with very charming characters. It's wonderful!

Just like with the transition from Hirogaru Sky to Wonderful, it's kind of sad to see that Kimi to Idol Precure releases immediately this week, it doesn't give us any time to breathe after the end of Wonderful, and it immediately switches to the next thing! Maybe a one week break could be nice to give some room... Even the social accounts immediately changed all their art to depict the new season! But honestly, I'm also really looking forward, to this new season, it's once again a brand new take and the characters all look super cute! Hopefully they'll get to fight this time www

The Sonic Movie 3 finally released everywhere, so of course I'm gonna talk about it, of course!!!

I don't often go to the cinema, so when I do it really makes it seem like a huge moment (maybe because no good movies have been releasing lately lol), but this one really was something else. First of all, unlike the first two, I did not watch ANY trailers - the trailers for Sonic 2 and the Mario Movie honestly kinda ruined my first viewing, modern trailers show way too much of what the movies have, but I've said this thousands of times by now so you should know that - and I tried to stay off Twitter and Youtube as much as possible when it started releasing. It was annoying because it first released on the 20th of December in America, and we were supposed to get it on the 25th. There were first screenings on the 24th, but SOMEHOW, the place closest to me had an even earlier screening on the 22nd! So I got to see it super early, and it was amazing. (Only a little mad because 'Metal Sonic' was trending on twitter the DAY before so I got spoiled of that, but I only saw the name before and nothing else, so I guess it's fine.)

The entire experience in it of itself was amazing. The first Sonic movie was a really fun movie with Sonic, the second one was even better but still was trying to find its footing, but this one, this is THE Sonic movie, it gets everything so right it's insane.

The story is super simple and expected as usual, but it works for this movie, even if some twists were unexpected, like how Shadow's backstory was changed a little, or just some things that happened. It still was full of surprises which I loved!

The one thing that this movie gets right over the other two, is that it actually references the game! From throwaway lines, to graphics and music, there's many little hints for long time fans and it was so much fun! My main complain with the first movies were the lack of game music instead of super generic orchestral movie music. This movie still has too many orchestral tracks to me, but it also has little bits and pieces of actual songs or musical cues, and making Live and Learn a leitmotiv tied to Maria was honestly genius. And talk about Live and Learn, I really did not expect them to actually play it during the movie, I was awaiting it for the entire movie thinking I would not get it, but then it happened during the coolest scene ever and I was jumping up and down in my seat! (It's kinda sad tho how little the actual song was used, the lyrics jumping to the end like that was kinda underwhelming, but overall the use of it was really good)

There are talks about Sonic 4 being only about Sonic characters... I hope that's not the truth. This movie had a perfect blend of humans and Sonic characters, I really enjoyed seeing Tom and Maddie, and the little cameos of other characters (Wade!!!). And my god, Agent Stone? Easily like, weirdly one of my favorite characters in the franchise, he's so charming and well written, it's insane.

This "review" is more me finally gushing out about everything, but I couldn't care less, it was too too good, I'd say it's not only good for fans, but I'd say it's a really good introduction to the series as a whole, and it's being super well received so I can't wait to see more!

I'll stop here before I start going insane, just know that when Sonic said that SA2 line, I recognized it even with the shoddy French translation, and I got so happy about it, it's insane how little things like that can elevate a movie that much.

OKAY i'll stop actually now goodnight woohoo

(oh my god the movie looks so good now compared to the first two, every character looks so vibrant, AND they finally got CGI characters touching human ones!!! They were avoiding doing that like the plague before, but now they actually feel even more real!! it's too good man) [My only gripe with the movie is that it kinda ends a little too fast, like "wow eggman's dead we all saved the world but almost died!! the end.]

To be honest, I thought the last one already happened in 2025, I guess not...>

Happy new year everyone! I'm four weeks late I know... Life has just been so busy lately! Finals are finally done starting today, I got time to rest but I'm still as tired as always now that school has started back up www. For some reason, this semester feels like a fresh new start, maybe because I changed a lot of things about my life in general? I hope things continue to change.

Let's talk about what I've done and what I'm gonna do for the site this month!

First of all, as you can see, the blog page got a huge overhaul. It now has multiple tabs, to make loading easier on the browser, but it also allows me to include cool new pages! (I just found something broken while writing this, I'm so mad lol)>(That issue has now been fixed, awesomesauce)> The guestbook is easier to access now, and there's a whole new Thoughts page! I already explained it within the page itself, but it'll be used to make smaller updates, or just get what I'm thinking of off my mind, kind of like posting on a certain website that has been getting butchered as of late.

I still have big plans for the Blog page itself, but that'll have to wait. In the meantime, have you noticed the music player on the left of here? It looks so nice, I hope you enjoy my selection of cool music. (All of this has been done with my good friend Pudding's help, go check out his site please, I'm also helping him to make it in exchange!)

Lastly, I'm gonna try to release Project S chapter 3 this month. Or at least get it properly started. I have a bunch of ideas for it but they're all foggy and I can't really decide on how to organize them. Hopefully it'll turn out great! I'm also gonna have to make a bunch of drawings for Phoenix Club's new characters, and even just for Pudding's website, it gives me an excuse to draw so it's fine! I... have to get started on all those drawings I'm really behind schedule!! (sorry mister ding)

This will be it for me, (i told you it'd be short... still!) goodnight everyone!
