Galactic Chaos

    Tell me, have you ever watched an anime called Code Geass?  It's an incredible anime, that features mental games, mecha fights and colonialism....sponsored by Pizza hut (seriously, they really do sponsor this anime)!  This anime was extremely well written to the point where years later it can still be referenced by other anime fans, and its popularity lead to a movie being made 13 years after this series ended; that's a big deal!  Yet one of the key aspects of this series, are the characters, because many of them have different motivations as to why they do what they do.  What gets crazy, is when some characters use their special powers and abilities to control or manipulate certain people or alter reality!  Like I said the characters really move the story entirely, but there is one character I want to talk about.     This is Nina Einstein, she was a student at Ashford Academy, then later became a scientist.  Looking at her, you would think that she is a sweet and gentle pe

          I have been watching anime since 1998, and I can honestly say that as a hardcore anime fan, this shit can get weird...like REALLY weird at times!  Take the 1998 OVA "Virgin Fleet", it is a series about these women who pilot fighter jets, but get this, they have a special power that allows them to pilot the jets!  Can you guess what that power is?  It's being a virgin; this anime says that women who are virgins have the ability to access great powers.  Now, I can go on a massively long rant about what does it mean to be a virgin and how penetrative sex is not the only kind of sex in the world......but that's a different argument!  Instead I want to talk about this whole purity thing and how it can cause more harm than good.          Throughout my entire life, I have went to religious schools, but by the time I got into junior high school, that's when the purity culture came into effect.  We were constantly told that we needed to save ourselves for marriag

          I don't know about you all but I am pretty excited and pumped for the remake of Ranma 1/2 coming out in October!  I mean this anime/manga series has an amazing story that must be shared with EVERYONE!  Now if you are familiar with this series you know the story, but lets say you have zero idea of what Ranma 1/2 is even about, allow me to explain!  You see that guy with the black hair?  That's Ranma Saotome, he is a skilled martial artist who is constantly pushing himself.  One day him and his father were doing some extreme training near cursed pools of water because why not!  Ranma gets knocked into a pool of water and is cursed, as a result anytime he is splashed with cold water, he becomes a woman(the one with the red hair), but if he is splashed with hot water he becomes a man again.        Yet despite the hilarity that comes with this series, even though Ranma will look like a woman, he doesn't change how he acts around people.  His appearance and genitalia ma

          Yep, that's me from circa 2011 at Anime St. Louis!  This was the first time I wanted to cosplay, and let me say......I had no idea of what I was doing!  I mean seriously I don't even know what I was suppose to be!?  Like I had a wig, that red coat, and yeah....that's about it!  I seriously have no idea of what I was trying to go with......but the fact of the matter is little did I know, this was going to be the start of something very unique and euphoric for me gender wise.  I want to share with you my journey of my favorite cosplays, and let you in on my thoughts and feeling going into each one of these characters I dressed as.....except for that first picture here.....cause I literally had NO IDEA what I was thinking lol!  But, this is something I really do want to talk about.....no not whatever this cosplay was; I am talking about how cosplay is a form of exploration and expression.     Like I said, I had NO IDEA what or who was it I was trying to cosplay!  I m
