I have no immediate plans to write more "for fun" essays because my master's degree is providing me with all the essay-writing kicks I could need. However, here's a list of topics I might one day turn into something on this site:

• the Silent Hill 2 remake
• my thesis on Victorian horror conventions that somehow connects to Skibidi Toilet
• one bajillion words about the Backrooms
