We all have a story, here's mine.

I’m Edward Julian Micu — a writer who loves picking apart the stories we stumble into, whether they show up in films, books, music, games, TV, or podcasts. I’m not an expert in any of these things, and I don’t pretend to be. I’m just someone who pays attention, follows his curiosity, and enjoys exploring what makes a creative work land the way it does.

What you’ll find here isn’t academic analysis or industry insider talk. It’s me thinking out loud about the things I watch, read, listen to, and play — the things that make me feel something, confuse me, surprise me, or keep echoing in the background of my day. Sometimes it’s a deep dive into a film’s emotional undercurrent. Sometimes it’s a book that blindsides me. Sometimes it’s a game mechanic that’s more meaningful than it looks. Sometimes it’s a series, a song, or even a single podcast episode that won’t leave my head.

I’m especially interested in how stories work across different mediums and cultures: how a narrative hits differently when told through gameplay instead of film, how music reshapes a scene, how TV pacing changes what we expect from characters, how podcasts build intimacy through voice, and how books create whole worlds out of nothing but language. I like connecting those dots, tracing the choices creators make, and figuring out why something resonates — not because I have the definitive answer, but because the searching is half the fun.

This blog is my little corner of the internet to follow those threads. To wander. To be surprised. To share the things that excite me, frustrate me, or teach me something new. If you’re here for polished curiosity, honest reactions, and the occasional ramble about the artistry behind the stories we consume, you’ll feel right at home. No pretence. No gatekeeping. Just a genuine love for the worlds we get to step into — and the chance to talk about them with anyone who wants to join the conversation.
