I'm Borealis, AKA the LiteralGrill, and welcome to my home on the Fediverse. My ass is hot and my takes are even hotter, so be prepared!

I'm 31 year-old award-winning author and poet that currently is focused on writing essays about anime and manga these days. I also watched Groundhog Day once a day, every day, to celebrate the movie's 30th anniversary.

While I often support the use of content warnings, I will not use them surrounding topics on the life I'm living as a trans and disabled person. See my pinned intro post for details.

With this in mind, you'll like following my page if you care about:

  • Disability Justice (I'm Autistic, have ADHD, and am a wheelchair-using amputee.)
  • Old weird video games, media formats, and odd technology
  • Anime, manga, and analyzing both
  • Are radically leftist in general
  • Understand that COVID is not over
  • Think puns are the height of humor

Sizzle sizzle baby~ 🔥🔥🔥

Being VERY cautiously excited about the appointment with my new doc to talk about a replacement wheelchair... Actually going well? Truly, I'm not used to that!

It's rare to come out of these things actually feeling a little hopeful. I might have a chair that doesn't break all the time? Is designed to be more thoughtful of bodies like mine? With a power assist as a real possibility?!? Wild!

Wait, Silver Spoon isn't available to stream anywhere now either?! Dude, that's just low. 😱

@otakureview Oh geez yeah, that's an incredible show too. An enormous shame!

Blegh, it's time to just log off and watch anime. Keeping on digging into this won't do me much good.

I made homemade rose petal jelly yesterday and it is BEYOND delicious! So proud how well it turned out, everything from the color to the petals still inside looks so pretty...

Sometimes, you manage to find an extremely cool board game that usually goes for $100+ at a FAR cheaper price and actually win the bid on it!

I never thought I'd actually own a physical copy of this little masterpiece of a game. I cannot wait till it's shipped here to play it!

To every person who has shown me kindness
To every person who has injured me
I will cherish and nurture the memory of you until the flame of my life is snuffed out of existence: Equally
For you have made me, and I can only hope for better or worse I enriched the making of you as well

Gotta remind motherfuckers I'm an award winning poet sometimes. Gotta keep that killer poetry street cred up!

Another girl band anime adaptation annouced, but too bad this is only a short though.

@chikorita157 Heck, I wonder if they'll be English subbed. Sometimes we get lucky with these things!

It's pretty homophobic that I don't get to be tempted into a cat carrier with treats to go see the doctor and instead have to get into a wheelchair van with a random stranger that always shows up way too damn early instead...

See, I didn't even bite the dentist ONCE but god forbid someone squeeze something tasty for me out of a plastic tube to lick up for being a good girl after! :meowbongorage:

So eepy... Not looking forward to getting the kitty who hates leaving the house under any circumstance's nails clipped today. Especially as this involves a bus ride which I doubt she'll be a big fan of either.

The thrift store blessed me with this SEALED glory that pushes so many of my nerdy buttons. I can't wait to play it!

I saw a post criticizing China, misread China as Chika and my heart dropped.

I need to go touch grass.

As I recently had to study some things involving Japan's diplomacy with the PRC for an anime related article, this is hilariously marvelous in ways far to complex to explain in a fedi post

"You're gonna regret that in the morning!"

Watching The Sword and the Stone on the VCR as background noise and have to share my objectively correct opinion that Arthur absolutely fumbled by not living out the rest of his life raising a family with this absolute queen.

He had an absolutely adoring lady who was head over heels for him AND a cutie to boot? How DARE he leave her heartbroken! Fuck England, we didn't need British people taking over the world but she did need her man! :meowbongorage:

New crack ship: Hatsune Miku x Hazel (because they both hate British people).

Okay, my name literally is Borealis. I really am hoping we can find somewhere far enough away from light pollution and can see this tonight. With my wheelchair, we can't exactly get anywhere super rural. So I just gotta go to the darkest area and hope for luck I suppose...

Heck, feeling a tad rough today. Worn out is an understatement. One of those times you're so tired it's hard to do things that help you recharge, ya know?

I need like, non stop cuddles and silly movie watching. Perhaps pizza, or like, those easy throw in the microwave yakisobas. Caffeine also wouldn't hurt.

Who's down for a dollar store run and snug? I'm sure we can travel through the internet to make this happen! :meowthinking:

Unfortunately, I actually have to make an unavoidable trip to the bank before it gets brutally hot outside so I don't get to just sit and be eepy and comfy :meowsad:

Just bring a little quiet here tonight as I'm working on repairing my patch pants. Gotta make these old denims last forever and it's helping my brain to fix something right now with so many things out of my power to fix. Even if my hand sewing skills are extra terrible these days :meow_whistle2:

My cat is very rudely taking up all the space where I'm sitting so my stump leg has nowhere to go. I enjoy that she wants to snuggle up to me that badly, but it's getting extremely uncomfy!

I know, meta, Facebook, and Instagram blows, but I need you to go listen to Macklemore's new song Hind's Hall right the fuck now.

Then, I want you to think about every damn celebrity you idolize and question why they haven't done half as much to try and stop a genocide.
