Welcome to the 'Hazbin Hotel'
Let's check in the Hazbin Hotel. I got a link from a friend on Facebook about a show in the process at the time called the Hazbin Hotel. It's a web-series on YouTube, about Charlie, a demon born in Hell who also happens to be the princess of Hell, and the daughter of the devil. Who tries to help the citizens of Hell control the overpopulation in Hell by trying to get everyone in Hell to work towards redemption as an alternative to the cleansing that happens every year. I read on the Fandom page that heaven helps with the cleansing of Hell and taking the already dead demons. The series was created, directed, and produced by Vivienne Medrano. If you would like to check out her YouTube channel check it out, it's called Vivziepop.

Is Animation Better Than Live-Action?
From animation to live-action . The year was 1994, and I was twelve years old when I saw Disney's The Lion King, I loved the animated version it was original; it was cute and funny. The story was well written and had the right message. The voice actors that got chosen for the film were amazing and fit the characters like a glove.

Two Popular Video Games Turned into Live-Action Films
Popular video games turned into live-action films has been a favorite thing to do. Two films are getting released Detective Pikachu Pokémon and Sonic the Hedgehog. In my opinion, Detective Pikachu Pokémon looks more promising because the characters seem so realistic, almost like they could actually exist. There was so much detail on the Pokémon—everything from the hairs, the skin, even the eyes. This was possible thanks to RJ Palmer, a concept artist at Ubisoft. He used real animals for inspiration, and when he draws, RJ Palmer said he uses a Wacom tablet and Adobe Photoshop. RJ Palmer has been doing concept art for characters and the environment, which is why he helps come up with the initial design for Pokémon. The other reason I think the film was great is because it's not starting from the very beginning like other productions have when making a film. The story of the film begins from another, in fact, an actual game that is called Detective Pikachu Pokémon. It follows a guy name Tim Goodman who teams up with a Pikachu that is more intelligent than any other Pikachu, and yes Tim can understand him, just like the film. The main Pokémon protagonist Pikachu is voiced by Ryan Reynolds. I thought that was amazing because I felt like I was watching Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds plays the Marvel comic "Merc with a month" character Deadpool). The film has a slapstick comedy feel to it, and it has the right message in the movie but you got to see the movie to see what I mean.

Great Film, Big Inspiration
After watching the film Tolkien, I have never so badly wanted to be a writer and get my graphic novel to publish. The film was an inspiration, and I did have a few things in common with Tolkien. Just like Tolkien, I am an outcast, I have a creative imagination, my writing also has to do fantasy (but I too do comedy and a little horror), and finally, we both went to a university.

Season 9 the Final Season
It has begun season nine of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. I won’t lie I am excited, but sad as well because it is the last season of this fantastic show, I remember the first episode I watched I got hooked, the stories were designed to touch on subjects that kids and adults come across on every day like peer pressure, judging others, and believing in one’s true self. I like the design and personality not to mention the unique characters. I’m not just talking about the ponies, I’m also talking about the other creatures both good and evil like the monsters, the changelings, and the animals that came from the Everfree Forest.

Fuel for Inspiration
The day started out normal like any other day. I stopped at my favorite gas station to get some coffee, then headed to the school where I studied and worked. I had a sense something was wrong. First, I thought it was because finals were on the way, so I just brushed it off. The news of Chester Bennington's death came from my fiancé Ian; he asked if I was okay. I wasn't sure why he was asking and told me to check the web. My first thought maybe a terrorist attack nearby since they were going on a lot since 2016. My heart sank when I saw it online: "Linkin Park frontman found dead," even till this day, I still feel like it isn't real. This event was a significant impact because I felt alone and lost thinking my muse was gone, my fuel, and my source.

Some Anime or Manga Shouldn't Be a Live Action Film, but 'Alita: Battle Angel' Changed That
Just recently I saw a film called Alita: Battle Angel. The movie was terrific. The story was great and the special effects were off the wall. The film is set several centuries in the future and the Earth became imbalanced because of a war called, “The Fall.” (The whole planet became somewhat of a recovering post-apocalyptic world.) The abandoned Alita is found in the scrapyard of Iron City by Ido, a compassionate cyber-doctor who takes the unconscious cyborg Alita to his clinic (which also happens to be his home). When Alita awakens, she has no memory of who she is, nor does Alita have any recognition of the world she finds herself in. As Alita learns to navigate her new life and the treacherous streets of Iron City with the help of a boy named Hugo who happens to fall in love with her. Ido tries to shield her from her mysterious past. He has a good reason why. I saw in the end credits that the film was based off of a manga except it was called Battle Angel. I was surprised that the movie was great. This is because in the past there have been many anime and manga turned in to live action, and they have not done well in theater or direct to video. I can name a few, but let’s stick with Alita: Battle Angel.

Bring da Noiz on 'Dramatical Murders'
Spoiler Warning: Plot and ending details follow. First, let me point out, I’m not a gamer. I’m more of an observer who loves to read the story about the game. Moreover, I am a heterosexual woman who supports 100 percent the LGBQ community. Additionally, finally, I’m going to talk about why I think the character named “Noiz” is the best of the best. For those of you who don’t know, Noiz is one of the main characters both in the PC game and anime called Dramatical Murders. The game was released first in April of 2013 by Nitro+chiral with the title DRAMAtical Murder Re: Connect. Then, an anime series was made and ran in July through September of 2014 with 12 episodes and a bonus episode (it was the all bad endings, and they were scary especially Noiz’s bad ending) and finally, DRAMAtical Murder Re:Code it was released in October of 2014 by Nitroplus and a platform for PlayStation Vita.

Not the Ending I Expected
Spoiler Warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. How could something so cute and adorable be a damn evil? I am in shock to find out at the last episode of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic that the character named Cozy Glow (a young pegasi filly that is based off of the legendary child actress Sherley Temple, you could see it with the hair and facial expressions) is a villain I didn’t want to believe it at first when the character introduced the first time in season eight, episode 12 “Marks for Effort” when the Cutie Mark Crusaders help Cozy glow with her friendship homework. I saw in Cozy Glow had Twilight's cutie mark in her eyes, but I ignored it. Then I notice she was appearing way too lovely and always looking to be sticking her damn nose where it didn’t belong to mention she is pushy with the other creature characters telling them that no matter what they do every pony will see them as a creature to fear. I didn’t understand why she thought friendship was the power that she needed to have to dominate all of Equestria.

What About Tempest's Horn?
There are four types of ponies in Equestria: the earth ponies, the unicorns, the pegasi, and the alicorn. You can tell which pony is which just by looking at them. But what about Tempest Shadow? You see her from a distance and assume she is an earth pony, but come up close you will see she is a unicorn even thou she has a broken horn. Tempest Shadow or Frizzle Pop Berry Twist (her real name before she became a villain) wanted one thing; she wanted her horn back. So what’s the deal, why can’t she get it back? When an animal such as a rhino or a bull breaks a horn, it does grow back, but it takes years. Tempest’s horn broke as a fill.

What Happened to the Show?
The first time I saw Monster High, it was at a toy store. It was two dolls; Cleo De Nile, the daughter of the mummy, and her boyfriend, Deuce Gorgon, the son of Medusa. I found this item when I was looking for a gift for a child's birthday. I was intrigued by their outfits. It was like a mix of today’s modern clothing design with pieces of the clothing their parents would wear. After the party, I did some research about monster high. I read that Monster High started out as a book written by Lisi Harrison which tells the characters of the offspring of the famous Hollywood monsters like Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster, the zombie, and the werewolf (only to name a few). I fell in love with the show and films. I love the message they shared about being yourself, the slogan was catchy it was “Be yourself, be unique, be a monster.” I thought it was amazing how the show was teaching kids that it’s not cool to bully others. The web-episode talked about self-esteem like it’s okay to come out of your shell, don’t be shy. I loved the other monsters on the web-episode because it shows that not everyone is the same and had “Freaky Flaws.” (That means we have the issues that make us unique.) I joined their Facebook page and purchased some of the dolls because some of the characters were like me. Monster High was terrific until mid-2016 when I heard there was going to be a reboot. Everything I loved about Monster High wasn’t the same.
