A very common trope in things ranging from Star Trek to Jughead (yes, Jughead).
A Monday update, but hopefully done early in the day!
Also, Chinese New Year has passed. Remember that you have my perpetual pass to celebrate it even if you lack the “proper” ethnicity (gee, THAT rhetoric sounds familiar). As long as you’re nice and respectful, that’s all that matters.
WE AIN’T READING RANDOM BLOGS ON THE INTERNET TO BE REMINDED ABOUT REALITY.
Yep, it’s a super late update! I was enjoying a long weekend due to public holidays. But did I get any writing done?
Well, kind of!
How can you avoid conducting the mortal sin of exposition? Of taking someone’s valuable time to explain yourself?
Alright, that’s the exact opposite of what exposition is, but I’m devoted to the bit.
Just like how, really, any article on this blog is exposition. Like this one.

Kind of like if they decided to reveal that Spider-Man’s Uncle Ben wasn’t a kindly mentor, but in fact a criminal who got shot trying to steal a car.
And we’re back to the monthly original post! And as you can see, I’m reviewing something people have had their hands on for months now, except it’s semi-timely because I got it as a Christmas gift!
Now: Are you ready to Ragnarok-and-roll?
Nope, not sorry for that. Deal with it.
“We all wear masks, Shinjo-san.”
Today’s pic…was actually picked to fit the fic, and not the story written to fit the picture.
Some of you may not know what this fic is about, so here’s a brief summary!
Legend of the Five Rings. Samurai Game of Thrones, released before Game of Thrones. Fantasy-Japan, Clans supposed to be united but competing against each other constantly.
And the focus of THIS fic are the scheming plotter Clan: The Scorpions.

Youth is thinking Brainy Smurf is an annoying, boring twit. Maturity is realising he was written that way on purpose.
Rejoice, internet! I am here with actual content!
And that content…IS BORING!
…WAIT NO, I PHRASED THAT POORLY, DON’T LEAVE-
The game’s main draw, of course, is the combat (again: God of WAR).
It’s the end of the month, so it’s time for an original post!
By which I mean I’ll talk about something that already exists without having to come up with something from scratch.
Which has been around for quite awhile, and which I am reviewing long after that, because I opt to play games I get for free while seldom buying them outright.
Quality content, people!
That’s where you, THE (Maidenless) TARNISHED, come in.
It’s time for a monthly original post! And this time around, it’s on time, but about something that came out long ago in internet-years!
It’s…ELDEN RING!
What I’m saying is: Arthurian legends were the original Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Well, it’s past the end of the month, and that means it’s time for another (late) original post!
Which is based on fictional media, which is based on other existing fictional media, which is based on this play, which is based on this story, which is based on this legend, which is based on this natural phenomenon.

Whelp, SUPER late with this post which I should have gotten done last week!
But hey. Partly busy with work, partly just taking time to relax. That’s how it is.
However, I did have this story percolating in my head for a bit!
And what might it be?
Well, here it is! Hope you enjoy it, ladies and gents!
