Ryenne

General

Lyricism, poetry, books where nothing happens but everything changes, Unreliable narrators and philosophy I accidentally relate to. 

YouTube Let’s Plays with 2009 mic static and unearned emotional weight.

Cutscenes that hit harder than real life.

I like games that never explain themselves.

YouTube essays about unadaptable manga, failed mascots, or the secret war between sonic fans in 2007.

Mods that were never finished but still changed someone’s life.

Old ARGs no one’s solved. 

Wikis about characters that only appear once. 

I still think about: 

The day the Club Penguin Servers Shut Down.

The Mario and Luigi RPG’s where the brothers cry in unison.

The one boss in Earthbound that talks like he knows your secrets.

And I will always love:

D-list X-Men

Obscure teen titans arcs.

Side characters who monologue like the world is ending—then vanish.

And also:

Textboxes that flash when you’re supposed to feel something.

Songs that sound like lore. 

Music

Anything that makes people feel to much.

Electronic that sounds like a nervous system rewiring itself. 

Punk that doesn’t care if it’s dead.

Noise, distortions, breakdowns, breakdowns, inside breakdowns. 

Songs and music that gets banned, booed or bootlegged before they get understood.

Movies

Blade Runner, Tetsuo: The Iron Man, Ghost in the Shell (before they polished it too much). 

Solaris, The Matrix, Under the Ski, A.I. if you watch it all the way through.

The Wicker Man, Midsommar, Picnic at Hanging Rock, The VVitch

Coven, The American Movie

Groove (aesthetics).

Television

Quantum leap, Star Trek, The Third Day, Requiem and I’ll add more later

The Power of Now, Artaud, Bataille, Pasolinis Essays, A Clockwork Orange, Crowley’s footnotes, Mishima’s contradictions, The Book of Lies. The Book of the Law. The Sacred Conspiracy, The Politics of Ecstasy, Psychopathia Sexualis, The Temple of Perserverence.

I like texts that get banned in libraries but read aloud in rituals. 

I like moral discomfort more than comfort.

Heroes

Batman, Rorschach, Raven, Jean Grey, The Question, Storm, Wolverine.

Antiheroes:
