feeling kinda bored of theory, could use some action
Conversation
for a book:
The Kindly Ones - Littell
Flow My Tears, The Policeman Said - PK Dick
UBIK - PKD
Canticle for Lebowitz - Walter Miller
Wolf Among Wolves - Fallada
Fear - Chevallier
Child of God - McCarthy
the only ones clasically action are the pkd, but all were riveting fiction

I've been reading Dorohedoro lately, a manga, and the ultraviolence, the art style, the characters and their relationships all hold me to it in a way I've not had this year. I keep picking up and putting down books. This one possesses me.
Most of the anime I'm watching is tripe.

recommend?
i was watching "a certain scientific railgun" until i caught up, then watched Beastars, BNA, and Devilman Crybaby before my present binge of Dorohedoro
considering giving FLCL or Lain a first run, but i've been digging the relationship-centric stuff lately

That sounds about right. I'll throw it on the list. The social isolation is making me into a blubbering romantic feeding on relationship and growth arcs while curled into a deepening recess on my sofa. Need dates. Need intimacy. Instead I'm using anime/manga substitutes.

know that feel
have you tried flirting with people on twitter it's not bad lol
I haven't.
Something about my being a goatfaced anon who spams about anime and anxieties prevents that. It's funny, I don't expect anything "real" to arise from the internet, in spite of that being proven false several times in my life, so I cut off certain emotional responses.
