Who
I’m Laura, or Jean, or Lav. I’m a queer, autistic writer with a Masters in English Literature and a tendency to overexplain. Any pronouns will work because of my genderfluid power.
What
This blog is where I transform my infodumps and passion for research into organised articles about video games, books, TV, and occasionally other things that catch my eye. (Studying literature is really studying ten subjects stacked in a trenchcoat.)
The core of my work is a focus on story. Why was this story told? What makes that story ‘good’ or ‘bad’? These are the sorts of questions I hope to explore, as well as providing deep dives into various topics. Things can get a little serious and a little silly around here. I try to analyse media without taking myself too seriously.
I love anything with compelling writing, but I have a particular interest in stories about queerness and disability. Given the opportunity I WILL get pretentious about Metal Gear Solid.
