This section of the website is a hub for all the media I like and my thoughts on media in general.
As for which ones are inspirations? Directly and intentionally? not really any. Indirectly as a result of being media I like? All of them and more besides. Other indirect inspirations include every single experience I've ever had in my life, including things I hate. Because that's just kind of how creativity works.
Stuff I like (An incomplete, unordered list):
