Okay, since I have a lot of ideas I want to write about and I get easily distracted, I think it would be helpful to make a list of the projects I want to work on. I have quite a lot, and I’m not sure if I’ll be able to finish them all at my usual snail’s pace—but I’ll try!

1. Media Reviews

I want to focus primarily on video game reviews. Here’s a list of the ones I have in mind:

• Shin Megami Tensei IV (all routes – in progress)
• Xenosaga Trilogy
• Fire Emblem Engage
• Xenogears (need to finish this game ASAP)
• Xenoblade 3 + DLC – I feel like my first review didn’t do it justice, so I want to rewrite it since my opinions on the game have changed a lot.
• Uma Musume Top Road
• Uma Musume Shinjidai

2. Personal Thoughts & Fandom Discourse

There are certain topics I really want to write about, including:

• Anime & manga series that revolve around all-girls environments with no males in sight aren’t necessarily feminist or lesbian-friendly.
• The ironic "safe" Fujoshi phenomenon and how these ''fujoshi'' aren’t actual Fujoshi, nor do they respect real Fujoshi culture.
• The evolution of Joseimuke media during the Heisei era and why it was the golden age for female otaku.

3. Interpretations & Political Readings

I also want to explore queer, feminist, and political interpretations of my favorite series. However, I’m unsure whether to post these on my main blog or my side fanblog. Since these are more personal observations that's based on my personal view/political leaning rather than usual headcanons/speculations, I don’t want to mix them with my side fanblog, which creates a dilemma for me.

• Fire Emblem: Three Houses political essay – This will definitely be posted on my main blog.
• Feminist reading of the Xeno series and its female characters
• Queer reading of the Xenoblade series through a queer lens

For now, I’ll put the Xeno-related essays on hold until I decide where to post them, but the FE3H essay is confirmed for the main blog. I’ll keep you guys updated!

I’ll also pin this post so I can track and cross out completed ideas. I can’t promise these will be ''released'' in 2025, but this serves as a reminder of the writing projects I want to tackle this year.
