UnderTale & DeltaRune are single-handedly my favorite pieces of media.
With UnderTale, it was a game that I had gotten into in early 2017 when I was 11 after discovering Sans and Megalovania. The more I learned of the game, watched playthroughs, and played the game myself with my brother, I felt like the game had changed my life. It was a game that made me care more for the characters than any media before, and had changed the way I viewed characters and story. It made me want to try and actually treat stories like my main thing rather than a fun hobby I did on the side. I would further change as I was introduced further into the fan content thanks to the community and the with the world of their AUs.
As for DeltaRune, while not all chapters have been released as of the time of writing this, it has also been incredibly influential. While I wasn't big on it back when it first released, I still found it enjoyable, and I really became a fan once Chapter 2 released, and had a new, yet similar, spark ignite inside that was very much like when I discovered Undertale. During this era, I had begun creating an iceberg chart dedicated to Undertale & DeltaRune, and then started a series based on said iceberg chart. And then Chapters 3 & 4 came along, and it's something that I've been thinking of and talking with my friends about since, and has further pushed my creative endeavors.
So yeah, I guess you can say UnderTale & DeltaRune has changed me and my life in a lot of ways!
Ni No Kuni: Wrath Of The White Witch is probably my favorite action RPG. I remember watching playthroughs of the game made by Stampylongnose when I was nine, which gave me a lot of nostalgia as you can probably imagine. I finally played the game for myself in 2023, and I loved it! I haven't played the sequel yet, though perhaps in the future I will. Only recently have I started drawing the various familiars and beasties from the game and Mr. Drippy himself! For those interested, it's available on Steam and the Switch.
My father introduced me and my brother to Sam & Max with the first two series of games made by Telltale Games, Save The World, and Beyond Time And Space. I really liked the games and characters, and it always served as childhood nostalgia for me as the freelance police were some of the first franchise characters I got into. Once I started playing the remastered versions that were released this decade, the nostalgia came back, and I was able to experience The Devil's Playhouse for the first time, and loved it as probably the best thing from the franchise I had seen. Definitely play these if you're interested!
Might be recency bias as I played the game during the first half of fall, but I've already been obsessed with Slay The Princess! I really like how the various choices you make impact the results of game, both with the various princesses you encounter, the endings of the game, the voices you encounter, and just the playthrough in general! The voicework, writing, and OST is also something that should be praised as well! For those curious, my favorite princess is the Thorn, followed up by Happily Ever After, my favorite voice is stuck between the Smitten and the Broken, my personal ending would be the What Happens Next ending, and my favorite songs from the OST are The Unknown Together and The Princess.
The Apparition is a song made by Sleep Token that I discovered while scrolling through Spotify in mid-late 2024, and the first song I ever heard from them. I was captivated by the voice, parts of the lyrics, and the instrumentation of the song! As time went on, and as I've been struggling with depression, I've also started to connect to the song and the lyrics, with me taking my own interpretation of the song based on my experiences. I personally interpret the song to be about one's experiences with depression, their desire for a life that seems perfect, and how no matter how much one tries to recover and achieve the happiness they seek, they will keep returning to the darkness that seems endless.
MEGALOVANIA was the song that got me into UNDERTALE, so it holds a special place in my heart! I really like the song for its uniqueness in the UnderTale OST, as it's probably one that holds the least leitmotifs, it has a long history with Toby Fox since he was a teenager, and it's a song that always puts me in an imaginative mood like I'm envisioning an intense battle between two fierce foes.
Currently my favorite song from the DeltaRune OST. It's a song that goes so hard and puts me in a mood like I'm watching the past, present, and future at the same time. I need more songs like this.
While I will admit Arcane has flaws, one thing I will defend is the music. One of the songs from Season 2, To Ashes And Blood, is my favorite song from the OST, and is another song that goes hard.
The First Step is a song that I fell in love with when I was working on a video production project in High School involving Sam & Max. As I've gotten older, and have struggled with my own bad habits and addiction, and have developed my sona's lore, I've liked this song more and more.
A few of my friends have been introducing me a bit more and more into the world of Vocaloid, and one of the first songs was Spoken For. I've really liked the song as I feel like there are parts that resonate with me, though I don't want to get into too many specifics without getting too personal. Specifically, I mean when it comes to my sona, and how they shapeshift into different forms and people, and there are a few lines that read as a bit autism-coded for me, and my inability to read the room sometimes, pick up on social cues, or even know what words should or shouldn't be said.
Being Human was perhaps my favorite song from the Steven Universe franchise. It's a song that I try to listen to to try and keep me in a calm mood.
This is the kind of song that I listen when I just want to be mad at the world or people in general for something that's either justifiable to be mad about, or something that's maddening to me, but may not be so bad as other stuff.
Reawaker is probably my favorite Japanese song as of now. While as of the time writing this, I don't quite understand the whole song, from what I do know about the song, I do like the lyrics, and I'm a big fan of the song's use of being in F sharp minor. Also before anyone asks, I have not seen solo leveling.
Not the biggest fan of dubstep, but this is a song I've liked for a long time, and always puts me in a productive mood to try and get things done, and hope to do great.
My all-time favorite show & animated series. While I did get into the original show really late, when I started binging through the entire series, I was blown away by how much I liked it. It was unlike any show I had seen before, and I enjoyed it for that, and I felt changed because of that! I loved the characters, and representation of female and LGBT characters. And it was the first in a long while where I was obsessed with a couple of characters, Lapis and Peridot, my new Sam & Max! It had become my new obsession and favorite show. I remember making some OCs and characters based on SU(which in hindsight were really bad), and I remember listening to the entire Steven Universe podcast where it opened my eyes to the world of animation and television production. And then I remember watching the movie and Future for the first time and being excited to be a part of it all. My love for the series had remained for all the years to come, but would finally be lit back up again once I had joined a watch party of the whole series that had introduced me to my friends, and given me a greater appreciation for the franchise and its media. This series means so much to me, and I'm glad to have given it a chance all those years ago right before I became a teenager.
Arcane is probably another of my favorite shows, and for a while it was my absolute favorite show until I had the Steven Universe watch party. I know the series isn't the most appealing, especially with Season 2 being somewhat polarizing among audiences, and it being based on a very infamous video game, but I still loved it nonetheless. Just be clear, I've never played League Of Legends once in my life, and I never plan to do so at any point. I loved the show for its writing, characters, art direction & animation, ost & music, representation, and it's fight scenes. When it comes to Season 2, I actually really liked it, and connected with it a bit more than most audiences seemed to, and I personally liked it a bit more than Season 1. I understand if you're not wanting to give it a chance, but I still think it's worth a shot to watch!
The Owl house pretty much became my favorite current-airing show after Steven Universe had ended for a while with Future, and I had fallen in love with it after binging through the first season. Loved it for very similar reasons for loving Steven Universe as it felt unique, and had many more things that I liked. I will admit that I did also like the art style in this show a bit more than SU, but I would never hold it against it. While Season 3 did disappoint me a little with how rushed it was, given that it was a bad hand similar to SU, I couldn't blame the creators all that much, and I still loved the show nonetheless, and would definitely love to do another watch party for this series.
Not the biggest Scooby-Doo fan, but Scooby-Doo Mystery Incorporated was a child-hood favorite show of mine from when I was eight. I really liked it as it was a really good show that had a very unique, well-written and thought out version of the franchise that younger me hadn't seen before. There's not really much I can say about the show that hasn't been said before. While a bit of the romance can be annoying to watch at times, it's still a great show to watch with gorgeous animation, music, story, characters, mystery, horror, and monsters.
I love talking about my thoughts and feelings when it comes to the things I watch, consume, and enjoy, so this page is the part of the website where I post my overall thoughts on stuff like movies, shows, literature, video games, and comics.
Will start working on these in 2026.
