Don't Hug Me I'm Scared
A Critique on the infamous online Youtube series
We are thrown into a surreal and disjointed reality with a group of close friends who live together who are playing house. Trauma and darkness lies underneath their colorful world, with secrets and lies strewn about in catchy songs that mirror our fixation on media to educate and amuse us.

Unconscious bias… uncomfortable prejudice: a character study
I wrote this short story four years ago. Here is the link to the original story. I have chosen this particular story because it has been one of my least popular, most criticized and more controversial.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

The Tainted Cup
The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett I made this entire series to write this review. The 2024 Hugo Winner is a Holmes and Watson style whodunnit taking place in a fantasy world that blends Area X from the Southern Reach Trilogy and The Lost World–more on the setting later.

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.

WOW! This sounds interesting!
This looks all kinds of creepy Melissa, is it? 😆 A terrific and intriguing critique. ☺️
I am so glad you did DHMIS! It's so good and so DARK! I still listen to the musical numbers! Green is not a creative colour.
Oooo, your review made me so intrigued about this show! I'll have to check it out!
Isn't all of reality somewhat surreal & disjointed? Or is it just mine?
I'll put this on my "Must Watch" list!
Well, I hadn't watched it. Now I have. Definitely an accurate review.
Love this! Super nostalgic for me :)
Haven't seen this, but your review make me curious to watch. Well done.
I loved those videos so much! They are supposed to be making a comeback... ;) What's your favourite idea?
