Sarah's Scribbles by Sarah Andersen for January 31, 2024

Ah, you’ve been watching the Onion movie.

A slightly different take on the film “Heavy Metal”.

What Sarah needed was a world in which cats can protect people from dragons.

Well, that didn’t turn out the way she hoped.

Must take into account the skills needed to survive.

You and me both, Sarah. I’m a HUGE Final Fantasy nerd, but I know that even with powers I’d be monster chow right quick.

Not the isekai experience she was hoping for.

Personally, I’d like to live in the Shire. A nice, simple life—maybe the occasional sojourn to Bree, but no further. No adventures!

Your fantasy should have been being the dragon instead

It’s funny because it’s true. Being isekai’d – sent to another world, via Truck-kun, Train-kun, Bus-kun, or Kami-sama – is such a huge genre in Japanese/Korean print and video fantasy. Most of it is wish fulfilment or power fantasy dreck, but as per Sturgeon’s law, 10% or so is still really, really worthwhile.

right shoulder – the wind in the willows; left shoulder – watership down

pretty rough fantasy world!

Instant Laugh Out Loud!!!❤️❤️❤️

I always say that in well-made game worlds but then the realization of my laziness sets in.

Still better than mortgage and student debt
