2021 Fandom Meme

Borrowed from [personal profile] misbegotten and [personal profile] sixbeforelunch

1. Your main fandom this year?
Still Star Trek, mostly TOS and Lower Decks, and I also got back into Good Omens again this year for some reason, maybe because I find fics about Azirphale/Crowley comforting

2. Your favorite film watched this year?
I didn't watch a lot of fiction movies this year (mostly just documentaries), however, I surprisingly really enjoyed Thor: The Dark World, I watched it because I never had back in the day, because everyone said it was bad, so I skipped it, but I really liked it. 

My other pick is Brokeback Mountain, again I was way late watching this.  It was a beautifully done film, absolutely heartbreaking, but I don't think I will ever be able to bring myself to watch it again.

3. Your favorite book read this year?
Song of Achilles, I know it was recced everywhere on social media, but dammit they were right.  The author does such a great job of taking a minor character from Greek Mythology, Patroclus, and making them a living, breathing person, and the love story between Achilles/Patroclus is beautiful, but not without flaws.  I cried like a baby during the last third of the book.  This is a story I am very glad to have read, but I don't know if I will ever be able to reread it.

Also, special mention to The Bone Shard Daughter a very interesting fantasy book, I loved one character and his animal companion in particular, and I am curious how the series is going to continue. 


4. Your favorite TV show of the year?
I want to say Hawkeye, but I don't know how it is going to end next week!  But up to this point, Hawkeye has been an unexpected treasure.

5. Your best new fandom discovery of the year?
Loki and Hawkeye, surprisingly the TV series have really pulled me more into the MCU, than the films ever did.

Also, shout out to Superman & Lois, I really enjoyed that series and wish that it had a bigger fandom.

6. Your biggest fandom disappointment?
I can't think of anything major, maybe that they gave Loki a female love interest.  Don't get me wrong, I love Sylvie and I liked their chaotic dynamic, I just didn't want them to be romantically involved, but I get that this is a me thing 

7. Your TV boyfriend of the year?
Loki or Bones

8. Your TV girlfriend of the year?
B-15 or Kate Bishop

9. Your biggest squee moment of the year?
I can't think of one in particular, seeing a lot of comics references in the Hawkeye series has been delight. 

Lower Decks had some great stories and references as well this season, and we finally got to see Cetacean Ops!  Also, I don't want to give away spoilers, but I will say I laughed so much at Doctor T'Ana with a forklift, and Borg Babies ;)

10. The most missed of your old fandoms?
I guess The 100, I was thinking recently about how much I loved that series at one point, and some of the characters have a special place in my heart, but it became such a trash fire near the end that I just can't bring myself to revisit it, even in fandom form.  Which is strange, because I can ignore things I don't like in other fandoms, see SPN and GoT for example, I ignore their endings all the time, but there is just something about The 100 that I just can't touch.

11. The fandom you haven't tried yet, but want to?
The Witcher, I have been seeing gif sets online and it has made me really curious about the series
