    The thematic link between cannibalism and incest in The Coffin of Andy and Leyley by

    Fandoms: The Coffin of Andy and Leyley (Visual Novel)

    Summary

    Something I’ve been thinking about is. The huge emphasis on cannibalism in the marketing of The Coffin of Andy and Leyley. And the way people talk about it: like, ‘of course these siblings aren’t normal, they literally ate their neighbour!’

    And I think it has some very interesting parallels with the incest that happens later on.

    Null Man's Land: The Influence of Classic Science Fiction on Null Magical Girl by

    Fandoms: Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magika | Puella Magi Madoka Magica

    Summary

    What follows is my attempt to make sense of the PMMM spin-off light novel Null Magical Girl through the lens of the classic science fiction directly referenced in the text--especially the works of A.E. van Vogt ("van vote"), a Canadian-American writer from the 1940s "Golden Age" of American science fiction, and whose most famous novel, The World of Null-A, has an unexpectedly large influence on both this story and fandom in general.

    (featuring the limitations of logic as a superpower, certain René Magritte paintings, Sherlock Holmes' favorite martial art, and homicidal psychic space panthers)

    Summary

    It had seemed like a fantastic idea at the time - who better to give Aya a second set of ear piercings than someone with loads of experience with piercings? But now that Aya's sitting here with her crush pressed close to her, attention focused squarely on her, she's starting to have some regrets.

    Well, maybe not regrets, exactly.
