By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting I believe people often underestimate the significance of purpose within individual scenes in a story. I wouldn’t go as far as to suggest that every single aspect in a story must directly contribute to the overarching narrative–that would be overly restrictive and neglect the importance of other elements, like dialogue, in shaping reader comprehension–however, purpose remains a crucial factor … Continue reading [Analysis] Purpose of a Scene: “I’ll Become a Villainess That Will Go Down in History” (Spoiler)
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting I finally got around to watching MIERUKO-CHAN on Crunchyroll and I couldn’t help but notice two very clear literary references. I was surprised by the lack of discussion surrounding them. Negligence, I say! Pity! Therefore, let’s get into it ourselves: Firstly, intertextuality is a somewhat broad term referring to how one text references another through either quoting or alluding to … Continue reading [Analysis] Looking at Intertextuality in Mieruko-chan
By: Krow Smith | @coffeewithkrow Today (13 October 2024) marks my one-year anniversary of being diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), formerly known as “Multiple Personality Disorder.” Including the time before my diagnosis, it has taken me years to come to terms with being plural* and it isn’t something I’m public about.

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting I have come to hate the trope of curses and poison being used to try to excuse abusive behavior by characters of various works. It’s an overused cliché that I’ve started to view as a lazy excuse for what is not justifiable. Firstly, abusive behavior is not acceptable. Whether it’s verbal, physical, or emotional abuse, it can have severe … Continue reading [Trope Analysis] Curse/Poison Does Not Excuse Abuse
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting I have not looked this up, but I’m sure others have written something like the topic of this post (luck as a skill in Captain Tylor) before. Still, I’ve wanted to write this post for a while and to give my take so… here we go! In the vast and unpredictable expanse of anime, The Irresponsible Captain Tylor is … Continue reading [Analysis] Captain Tylor: Luck is a Skill

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting A while ago I analyzed the concept of a mage defined within the work The Return of the 8th Class Mage. In that post, I briefly talked about the differences between a Mage and a Knight, and I’ve been thinking about it ever since while also continuing to read a lot of manga, manhwa, manhua, and comics within the … Continue reading [Concept Analysis] Knighthood: It’s Complicated – A Broad Overview of Knights
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting “Nothing in this world is a coincidence. Everything is Hitsuzen.” ― CLAMP, xxxHolic, Vol. 1 (Hitsuzen meaning inevitability, fate, or destiny as being the driving force of the universe.) Editorial Note: I am forewarning you now. If you have not seen the movie yet or only vaguely remember it, this post will probably not make sense. Please watch the … Continue reading [Analysis] xxxHolic & Shakespeare: A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Spoilers)
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting This is a repost of a blog post that I published years ago on a blog that no longer exists. I admit that I am being a bit lazy here by reposting this with some edits, but I never quite got the feedback I was looking for then, and I kind of hope I can get some now. So, … Continue reading [Reflection] Ranting About Ben 10 – A Repost
