its unreal how all of my favorite characters have exactly the same traits and hobbies and diagnoses as me

*somewhat spoilers for Scavengers Reign ahead*

Almost finished with Scavengers Reign, but I don't think I'm going to finish it. I'm...just not really getting why people were so hype over it. Which is kinda sad--I was cautiously optimistic about the promise of good environmental and creature design, which it *does* deliver. And to be fair to the show (and its fans,) my sticking point is that I'm not a fan of "life-is-hard, people are shitty, that's reality" style fiction/storytelling. I want pure escapism and hope--hope that I don't have to narratively pay for with a buncha grim dark feels first. :/

The soundtrack was also generally too tension-ramping for me to enjoy and they didn't really break any new ground on sound-mixing/Foley for the beasts/enviro. (I'm like... "distorted violin bow on something," "tiger rumble," "bull gator mixed with tiger" the whole time. They did get some nice pap paps for the mush patting, tho. 5/5 mushrooms, I would also pap those fungi.)

I just...want the creatures and biological focus of Nausicaä, & Mushishi, & Scavengers Reign without all the attendant storytelling sadness, like can we do that? Can I finally have that some day? (Without the insipidity of shows like Pokemon?) /lu

Dungeon Meshi comes the closest, I think, but the environmental storytelling there is kinda flaccid comparatively. Not a lot of creatures/plants exist on-screen except for the featured ones of the episode, and there are certainly no exotic biomes.

Times like this I think...maybe I'm just too autistic. Oh well.

This planet & its biota were prob the closest I've gotten to getting what I want to see, I just can't take the sad storytelling vibes long enough to enjoy it.

This is what an evil boop looks like.

Ok, loves, so we've all got the message that joking about suicide is bad for your mental health. Now we need to get on "joking that the planet/all of humanity has no future is bad for societal health/encouraging resistance to bad shit."
