face the strange

I'm going back to the extra June Something questions in August because I liked a lot of them and only did two so far. :D



Day 10: Reserved for one or two questions from Day 3! (Part 3)

What's a movie that you'd like to see turned into a TV series for more backstory?

Alllll of them! :D More backstory is literally the only reason why I prefer tv shows as a medium this strongly. It's also one of the reasons why most of the movies I actually love are coming-of-age ones, like White Oleander, Precious, and Speak. (The other reason being 'anything that is fully about teenage girls = instantly my new favorite fandom', pretty much. xD) It also does help that they're based on books, which I love more than the movie in some cases.

(And I just realized that the only movie icons I have are from a movie I haven't even watched yet, lol.)

Day 10: Reserved for one or two questions from Day 3! (I'm definitely going to do most, if not all, of these questions! ♡ So this is just part 1. :D)

Which character either because of story/backstory or performance broke your heart and why?

Oh, this is definitely Quentin Coldwater, hands down. It's all because of the ending, so the solution is to just ignore this part of canon and pretend it didn't happen, which most of the fandom has been cheerfully doing for the last 4+ years. xD But still, it was honestly the saddest that a fictional story has ever made me feel in my entire life.

Rika Furude broke my heart too, mostly in Gou, mostly in this scene/episode, which I immediately made into an incorrect quote graphic (the quote is NYTMinusContext) in order to tame it via crack, as I do, but it didn't get much less heartbreaking tbh.


Also Jaskier is currently inexplicably breaking my heart in S3 of The Witcher, like, this is weird and doesn't have ~logical reasons~, but it doesn't change the fact that he just does, lol.

Day 8: Tell me something about the last fandom thing you wrote. Or the last thing you read. Or the last thing you recced. Or all of them.

I'm only a very occasional writer, so the last thing I wrote was in January - New, a Yellowjackets drabble. I always gravitate towards the Peggy Sue trope (a type of time travel fix-it) as a reader, and this is the first time I've written it myself. :D

On the other hand, I draw a lot more than I write. xD The last thing I drew was my intoabar entry, Far More Interesting (Rika Furude from Higurashi meets Julia Wicker from The Magicians). It's my first Higurashi drawing, which is exciting. :D Funnily enough I had written Higurashi (well, gave it literally one line in a crackfic) before I drew anything, which has only ever happened with a tiny handful of fandoms. :)

The last (fandom) thing I read is still Unfun Detour by withthekeyisking - a Magicians fic that was the last exchange gift I got before going on vacation, and was also a highlight of my day when I got it. ♡♡♡

The last thing I recced was this piece of The Witcher fanart by craftgamerzz over at fanart_recs - an absolutely adorable comic about Jaskier, Geralt and baby griffins. :D

Day 2: What show or movie would you like rebooted? Same premise and storylines, but all new actors, showrunners, writers, technology, and social awareness?

I actually don't think I have one. I like my favorite shows as they are, and I'll happily re-watch them as they are. ♡ And in new shows I'll equally happily see new characters and stories. :) (Now, spin-offs and/or tv adaptations of other media? Count me in! :D)
