The Perfect Accompaniment to a Beheading

Don’t get me wrong, I’m an avid horror fan and you can always find me curled up at night with any terrifying movie I can find, but have we as a society been a little overexposed to the genre? It’s easy to forget what we’re exposed to on a daily

Anime. Once considered a pervert’s haven and socially unaccepted in the West… (Lowkey depending on where you look still is, looking at you, Jobless Reincarnation fans), Has evolved past its stigma to mainstream relevance and prevalence.

The Apathy Epidemic (And Why You Should Give a Shit)

No one gives a fuck. Why does no one give a fuck? There’s so much to give a fuck about!   We’re all too occupied with faster, cheaper, richer, easier. There’s a reason why the nonchalant boyfriend trope has been the butt of the joke recently. It’s embarrassing. We’ve been

“Its substances as flatmates cool”

Ever lived in a trap house? Now you don’t need to. I am proud of this incredibly original and unique idea of humanising drugs, unless you’ve seen college humour or sausage party, in which case I’ve done it better. We’ve all had that flatmate, but now you’ll know how much
