Hex Reviews Things: A Masterpost

This is long overdue, as I’ve been meaning to make this, for… checks date literally 10 months. I’m gonna go through the categories I use, what they refer to, and what tags are used for them, and then under a cut I’ll go more into what certain specified details mean, mainly relevant to shows, comics, and games.

The Categories

In general, I group the things I review into “Movies”, “Shows”, “Comics”, and “Games”. These are mostly self-explanatory, but I’ll get into the details hence:

• Movies are fairly self-explanatory, and I don’t feel any particular need to clarify anything on this.
• Shows includes any recurring audiovisual experience that doesn’t otherwise fall under the banner of movie, including those that may be associated with other terms first, such as anime.
• Comics includes both traditional western comics, manga, and webcomics.
• Games includes anything that can conceivably be fit under the umbrella of “video game”, whether it’s purchasable or not.

Generally everything I review will fall under one of these four categories, but may also be subcategorized in the tags where I feel it’s appropriate, such as with notable subcategories (anime under shows, for example) or recurring reviews for works within the same franchise (such as Pokemon).

Each category has its own tag, as well as my overall reviews being tagged alike. The tags for each category can be found on relevant posts, but for convenience, here’s the full list:

• “hex reviews things” is the general tag for my reviews
• “hex reviews movies” is the general tag for movies
• “hex reviews shows” is the general tag for shows
• “hex reviews comics” is the general tag for comics
• “hex reviews games” is the general tag for games

None of these tags are probably surprising.

Next I’ll get into some of the general details of how I review things, mostly the auxiliary details I provide at the start of reviews (for everything except movies). For the sake of post length, these’ll go under a cut.

Can you imagine suing Boeing and coming home to find Boeing’s faulty plane parts washed up in your backyard?

a raven father (i call him “pants”) I’ve been feeding sometimes likes to sit outside my window and either wait for more food or just listen to the stuff I’m watching while I draw. Today’s a colder day so he likes to fluff up a bit, and I kid you not :

this is an accurate representation of my view

Pants sure is pantsing today

Just a reminder for people who may not know, in light of protestors at UCLA being shot in the face with rubber bullets— rubber bullets are not bullets made of rubber. They are metal bullets encased in rubber.

Despite being called “non-lethal” or sometimes “less lethal”, they are well known to cause death and permanent disability.

Here’s a photo showing their size— these are actual rubber bullets used during the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020.

Do not let them downplay the severity of what they are subjecting this students to for standing against genocide. Stay safe and stay educated.

80% of “passing” is having enough money to purchase the clothes and services that will allow you to pass. Please stop holding being able to stealth up as the pinnacle of trans achievement. That place belongs to surviving. It belongs to finding joy. It belongs to love and community, not people who are rich enough to have professional makeup artists and tailors.

also, some people just won’t pass. that has to be okay. some (myself included) do not even want to pass. that also has to be okay.
