dreams of killing and (almost) being killed

there was a period in my life where I'd record my dreams and I guess maybe I should get back into the habit.

I woke up at like 5.30 from that dream and didn't want to go back to sleep so I played on my tablet a bit before drifting off again. Then I woke up to the sound of my dog vomiting on my bed. Good morning.

Why do people make such a big deal out of childhood nostalgia? Why do people refuse remakes of things they simply like out of nostalgia? Why are "90s kids" so bent on pride of their childhood? Reasoning 'I don't like x and y change on this remake because of NOSTALGIA, RUINING MY CHILDHOOD etc' is fucking stupid. A new generation of kids will grow up with it, things have to change for better or for worse.

This is a response to that person boycotting the new Sailor Moon dub because of 'boo hoo, my childhood' but it applies to a lot of things. I've come across far too many people who are all "the new Pokemon sucks (I haven't played it but I need to give my opinion on this), the OLD Pokemon are so much better!1!" Man, shut up if you haven't even tried the new stuff and are just ranting out of your nostalgic ass.

Going through my manga collection and deciding which volumes I really want to keep and which I could do without is difficult... The BL section especially. Do I like it enough to keep? Am I going to reread it again, seriously? I can just find scans online if I want to read it again, can't I? I like this mangaka and it's their only work in English, should I keep it? Those kind of questions come up. I think I sectioned off a fair amount to sell. A lot of non-BL manga I own are multi-volume series and I only have a couple of volumes of so I'm planning on selling most of those. Natsume Yuujinchou, as much as I loved it, I haven't read in ages and the volumes I own are from the very start - a place I'm very unlikely to reread.

I was planning on selling quite a lot of my CLAMP collection because, while I was a maniac about them a few years ago, I only feel lukewarm towards their work now. I own a single volume of Tokyo Babylon and can't remember much about the series so I decided to reread the volume to decide whether I want to sell it. All the feelings from the time I read it came back. The awful, awful pairing of Seishiro/Subaru that destroyed me, the hilarious fashion of Hokuto, the critical social commentary that could still stand strongly today. Man, how could I forget how important this series is. I even bought the CLAMP no Kiseki edition of Tokyo Babylon, that's how much I loved it at the time. I've completely forgotten. Man, I think I went with Rita and Natalie to Pulsa Max to buy it lmao. I think I'll switch this Tokyopop edition for the Dark Horse omnibus ones, even though I'm not keen on the large format the quality of their CCS omnibuses were excellent. I just need to wait for people to buy my damn crap before I get money to buy these new editions....
