"Sam Wilson Deserved Better Than Brave New World" by Gavia Baker-Whitelaw: an amazing dunk on this movie that's both too much (…fan service and lore), and not enough (… reflection on society and authoritarianism).

I highly recommend the article! https://fansplaining.com/articles/sam-wilson-deserved-better-brave-new-world

Just read two beautiful Percy Jackson fanfics set in a Pacific Rim alternate universe.

It's by two of my favorite PJO/HOO fanfic writers, and they delivered once again! You can really feel the characters and how profound the drift theory affects them. <3

@Nightshade well, first off you have Bookshops and Bonedust, by the same author.

I can't recommend enough The Healer's Road, by S.E. Robertson. We follow two healers in their assignement in a traveling company. It's cosy, reflective, lovely, the characters are complex and have flaws and they actually try to work on their flaws.

My go-to cosy fantasy recommendation is Non-Player Character, by Veo Corva. A bunch of queer fat autistic anxious characters play a tabletop game and get sucked into the game. I love that there's no big battles or epic adventures, it's just this group of friends.

Finally i want to recommend L Rowyn's books. Most of them are polyamorous romances in fantasy settings, and i almost forgot about that because i loved the settings in each one. I read three of her books: "You Thought You Wanted To be Level 99 But Really You Wanted to Become a Better Person" (yes that's a long title! it's about MMORPGs, I love it), then "The Princess, Her Dragon and Their Prince" (second book), and "Alien Peacelords" (third book).

:buckyArm: ♥️ :hawkeyeBow:

I was searching for a specific thing (that i can't find), but instead I watched fan videos of Axis Powers Hetalia, and… I'm so impressed I love, love, love these characters with all my heart, even though I was in that fandom more than 15 years ago and didn't touch it since!

(I can't explain it I see each of them and i squeal internally, feeling so much love and affection towards them)

I love Arrow and Flash so much wow 😊

like. They have lots of flaws. But together they make me feel the same way I feel watching the Winter Soldier: bubbly??

(There's this meme about "your little meow meow" being a seasoned and brooding killer, which feels very true right now)

I just finished Gilmore Girls (for the 3rd time) and I'm still as enthralled by it all as I did in the start.

I really love this show ❤️
