Welcome to The GrillOut, home of Borealis, aka the LiteralGrill~

Inspired by late 90s and early 2000s fansites of yore, The GrillOut is a no-frills site built to load fast, have accessibility in mind, and have tons of fun things to read! You can expect essays, reviews, and general musings with a focus on anime, cartoons, and generally obscure media alongside me gushing about Commander decks in Magic the Gathering.

Expect posts to go up whenever my brain allows and I'm particularly inspired! You can see a sampling of my most recent works below and check out the full breadth of my work in the archive.
