Magical girl creator/video recommendations?

I have a bit of a strange thing where whenever I like something I want every single part of my life to be centered around it, and lately I've been having a hard time finding magical girl creators on YouTube. I honestly want my whole feed to be magical girl content 😭

I've looked perhaps a million times and I think I've seen basically all the popular videos and creators. If anyone has any recommendations on videos to watch or creators to follow PLEASE tell me. You can get niche, I've seen almost all of the popular creators already. I especially like videos about drawing/magical girls OCs or reviewing magical series!

If you have a magical girl youtube channel please don't be afraid to show it. I WANNA WATCH YOUR VIDEOS!

Looking for magical girl (adjacent) videogames of any variety!

I have been hopelessly looking for magical girl adjacent games and I honestly cannot find many. I've played basically very game on Itch. io (including the big ones like Magical Warror Diamond Heart and Life After Magic.) It's been so hard for me to find anything! I will play basically ANY genre of game at this point, but I do slightly prefer visual novels and RPGs.

I'm okay with anything magical girl adjacent. Witches or warriors or princesses or idols or whatever. I'm okay with any platform. It can be for any magical girl franchise, or it can be it's own original thing. I just need to see magical girls. Preferably nothing too dark, and preferably accessible on Switch, mobile, 3DS, or PC, but I'll take what I can get! Only rule is that it's not exceedingly sexual!

Recommend me anything! Even if it's only inspired by magical girls.

(I'm honestly even okay with games that have like on magical girl aspect you can play through. Uma Musume has a magical girl character and I love playing her story. Although I would prefer mainly magical girl games.)

Cozy romance books with trans people!

Look, I absolutely love a sad trans book. But sometimes I wanna see trans people happy and in love for pride month! Obviously there can still be conflict but I don't want it to be super depressing or tense the whole time. I want something cute and lighthearted (even better if it's a cozy romantasy!) Right now the only book on my TBR with this premise is Make Room For Love. I would also enjoy if one or both of the protags are POC but it's not a requirement, just give me anything you've got!

PRIDE MONTH! wanna read about trans women!

I feel like trans women are such an underrepresented group, especially when it comes to being represented in a good light. I also plan on writing my own trans female character and I want to get it right! Any book about trans women will do! But I absolutely love romance, literary fiction, and fantasy!

Books with a bisexual lens?

This may be incomprehensible to everyone but me, but I've noticed a phenomenon in many romance books where the female character is not valued as much as the male main character in essentially every aspect. They might superficially call her attractive or say that she's the only one the MMC could ever love, but the writing doesn't treat her as beautiful and desirable in the same way the MMC is treated as desirable, and that is so sad to me.

I'm a bisexual person, and I frequently struggle with books like this. I like M4F because I like seeing women and I like seeing men, but oftentimes it feels like the book is really just wish fulfillment or self inserts for people who like super hot dudes. So in the end I'm only really seeing men, and cardboard cutouts of a woman.

And people can totally like stuff like that, I have no problem with it! But I want a book that values the woman the same way it values the man. I want a book where he is just as in love with her as she is with him, and it's actually reflected in the writing, not just said.

It doesn't have to be a LITERALLY bisexual book, hence why this isn't tagged LGBTQIA+ (although I have noticed that books with two bisexual main characters tends to solve this problem so I wouldn't mind bisexual book recommendations) I just want a book that sees women as just as attractive and valuable in the relationship as men are. I don't want super hot macho domme dudes, just guys who love their girlfriends and treat them as such.

(I would also like to reiterate that there is nothing wrong with the books I have mentioned in this post! This is simply a criticism I have, but it's not me saying enjoying stuff like this is wrong, simply that it's not for me!)

Best beginner bird feeder with camera?

I'm a beginner birder and want to get a bird feeder this summer so I can see them a bit easier. I'm wondering if I should get a bird feeder with a camera so I can observe them easily?

The bird feeders I've seen that are available are really confusing when it comes to features and such. I'm not really interested in AI identification or any other special features, I just want a simple bird feeder with a camera and maybe a notification that a bird is detected at my feeder.

Is there anything simple like that or should I just get a normal bird feeder and a normal camera separately instead? 😭

Perhaps a...niche request. I'm obsessed with biology, especially wildlife biology. I've been listening to a bunch of songs that have a nature-y feel and have some kind of connection to the natural world, like Cosmo Sheldrake, Camiidae, Hozier, and Yaelokre but I want more! I really like atmospheric music. It doesn't have to necessarily be calming, just something that pulls you in. I know this request is kinda hard so for the most part I'm okay with anything as long as it's about wildlife or plants or such. Thank you in advance!
