shadowhiveSo I missed doing this a few days back (thanks back pain!) so I’m doubling up on snowflake today
Challenge #5
Talk about what has improved in your life thanks to fandom. Post your answer to today’s challenge in your own space and leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
I know it’s a basic answer but the friends I’ve met along the way. Sure I’ve met a lot of people who have been terrible or just… vanished into the ether but I’ve also met some nice people that have stuck around and been nice and kind.
(And I know I suck sometimes, especially last year with my depression making me distant and low energy, but hopefully this year will be better)
Also there’s fannish things in general, for providing escapes be it in shows or games to get lost in or gigs (despite being stressful too) and giving me things to look forward to, focus on or distract from the horrors.
Challenge #6
Share your favourite piece of original canon. Post your answer to today’s challenge in your own space and leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
Well I’m not sure on my favourite piece of canon cause it’s constantly changing, so I’m gonna switch it up slightly and do my favourite pieces of canon from 2024.
First of is The Acolyte which is my fav Star Wars thing from last year (I’m so sad there’s been no Lego but it’s hard to see what they’d do). It’s really such a great show despite being uneven in some ways. However I’m narrowing it down to a specific episode, Night.
The episode is easily the best of the series and it’s honestly hard to describe what makes it so good without spoilers. Basically it’s an episode long fight between a team of Jedi and the villain of the show and it’s just so…. It had me riverted the whole time and it made me gasp in shock at some of the things that happened. (And yes someone is very very sexy during the whole thing.)
Second is Agatha All Along. I really loved Agatha in Wandavision and the trailer for the show looked really good so I was super excited for it and… damn, it might be my fav show of the year. I came to love all of the main characters so much and it really is at its best when they’re all together bouncing of each other. And, of course, there’s the song! The Ballad Of The Witches Road has been stuck in my head ever since I first heard it and I love it so much.
Lastly there’s Sonic 3 which was the film I was looking forward to most last year because Shadow! And ahh he was so cool, he kicked ass and was just so awesome. Plus Agent Stone got some awesome (and emotional) scenes too! I hope both of them are back in the sequel. One of my fav scenes was right at the start, where Shadow first breaks out and he’s just so… damn.
I’m curious what everyone else liked most from their fandoms last year!
Now I’m gonna bundle up, I might start reading the Agatha Christie January challenge book (Five Little Pigs) or I might fic or just flop. Tonight is the masked singer then I might watch a film (Tarot most likely) or game (Alan Wake II most likely, or Indiana Jones And The Great Circle)
