#most of these are some of my faves/honourable mention faves from 2021 and then a couple of others I enjoy too!

[ghosts-and-glory]

I'm on a horror movie binge rn. Lmao I'd like to ask: what do you recommend? What are your favorites? (The one I'm watching currently is so mf boring but I'ma see it through)

I know I said I’m a film buff on Instagram and I know you saw it and I almost feel I HAVE to clarify that some of my tastes are like objectively bad. I like DARKSTAR (1974) But boy do I have recommendations.

Animated

9 (2009) It’s number 2 on my list of faves. Very very good movie

Mad God (2021) Absolutely a visual masterpiece, kinda lack plot, more vibe based.

The House (2022)

It’s a classic for a reason

The Exorcist (1973)

The Thing (1982) My all time favourite movie

The Conjuring (2013)

Parasite (2019)

Nope (2022)

Silence of the Lambs (1991)

The Mist (2007)

Not a horror but still disturbing

Schindler’s List (1993) Had to watch it in two sittings cause I felt sick

Seven (1995)

American History X (1998)

Pan’s Labyrinth (2006) Another movie I just personally love

Mid teir but I was entertained

Barbarian (2022)

Talk To Me (2022)

The Taking of Deborah Logan (2014)

Hereditary (2018) I’m sorry I laughed through this movie. The ending is really funny tho.

So bad it’s good

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) Only slasher I like and I fucking love this movie.

The Invisible Man (2022) One of my favourite bad movies

Grimcutty (2022) Watched with family and lost our minds

Hell house LLC (2005)

The Decent (2005)

Tv show honourable mentions

Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities (2022) It’s a anthology and very very good

Midnight Mass (2021)

The Fall of the House of Usher (2023)

From (2022) Kind a thriller but the gore fucks so hard.

Hight On My Watch List

Movie I wanna recommend cause I’ve heard really really good things but have yet to get my hands on.

As Above So Below (2014)

Come and See (1986)

Skinamarink (2023)

Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum (2018)

If I think of more I’ll add them. Unfortunately I don’t really have any hidden gems, most of these are relatively mainstream. It’s probably cause my memory is shit and it’s either movies I watched recently or movies that really stuck with me.

If I’m missing a mainstream movie it’s probably just because I don’t like it or haven’t seen it. I’m sorry I don’t like midsommer or the witch, I think they’re boring and not really scary. I also mostly cut movies that are horror comedies like Tusk or Cabinet in the Woods, even tho I like them haha. And I don’t really watch/ like slashers, sorry Saw and Scream movies.

I also want to mention that some movies have more triggering content ie sa and animal death. I highly recommend websites like “Common Sense Media” and “Does the Dog Die” for relatively spoiler free trigger warnings for a comfortable horror experience.

every month of 2021 

post your favorite and/or most popular post from each month this year. (it’s okay to skip months!)  was tagged by @liam-lawson, thank you for tagging me this was actually so much fun to do! 💗

January: Your gal was not yet making content on f1blr, what a truly terrible time that must have been for you all

February: The iconic Lando dog tag video was my most popular post but my most popular edit was this one of Lance at the factory

March: Somehow this gifset of pre season testing was the post that got the notes (someone commented on it saying they were sick of seeing it and were blocking me, truly an icon, I wonder how they’re doing now) however my favourite post was George and Lando congratulating Lewis for winning the first race of the season 

April: Lando trying to hold George’s hand but can’t cause of social distancing 

May: The prettiest livery f1 ever did see (#bringitback) we also got the Lando workout gifset that I’m still not over 

June: Gifs of Pierre from a video I couldn’t understand just because he looked pretty in it (Pierre was really killing it this month he is in 3 of my top ten posts)

July: Wholesome Dan and George content, personally I prefer the Lewis and Lando content but anyway moving on

August: Estewin, Estewin, Fernando celebrating Estewin 

September: The Dando wholesome content EVERYONE loved to see, a few other faves of mine were Landos Pole and Lando, Jon and Char celebrating his Pole Position

October: We are on the 10th month of the year and we finally get content of Lando where he’s not being carried by someone else for notes, and in my opinion this is top 10 lando looks, we also got the best neck content and let’s not forget Lando getting his makeup done 

November: lol I didn’t even realise this post had over 1K just Lando with his DR3 sticker, my personal faves from this month was smiley Lewis or sweaty Lando

December: My post with the most notes was Lewis being an absolute cutie pie and telling you to wake up, my gif with the most notes was Lewis looking like a whole snack after winning in Saudi Arabia, I would also like to give an honourable mention to Lando and his parents being the cutest after he got P3 in Abu Dhabi also sweaty Lando (part 2)

And the so close awards go to Lando Norris doing a shoey, Lando and Dan playing table tennis and lightning in Sochi if they were posted any other month the would have been the top post as they all made my top 10 of the year

I tag @lewisrises @pedrocostas @juncosracing @ferrqri @acrosstobear @lewishamlton��@winlaren @oscar-piastri and any other content creators that want to do this, it’s actually nice to look back at some moments you might have forgotten about, if you do it please tag me!! (also if you don’t want to do it and i’ve tagged you just ignore this lol)

post your favourite or most popular post from each month this year (it’s okay to skip months)

thank you for tagging me @hysieme 💚💚💚

february:

most popular was this wei wuxian & xue yang crack post (it’s my most popular post in the whole year). hsgdfjhsd good because it was a great joke xD

honourable mention for this xuexiao + phantom pain headcanon, because it’s a delicious piece of whump

march:

I posted a lot of headcanons this month, my personal favourite and also most popular is the one about xue yang and romantic feelings

but I also love this one about xiao xingchen and books

may:

most popular is this silly xuexiao headcanon xD

june:

my most popular post was this “he’s just sleeping” meme and yeah it was a great meme. I don’t do edits often and I’m proud of this one xD

july:

this xuexiao headcanon about xue yang and scars on his body

august:

this month I was apparently drowning in my feels about xue yang’s childhood trauma and I wrote this meta about it

also there was this little follow up on the same topic, less popular, but important too

october:

most popular and my fave is this rant about how it irks me when people say “xxc adopted aq” because it was her adopting him and I’m happy this post got so many notes (my 3rd most popular post this year! wow), especially since I expected it to get like 10 notes max because it was a bitchy rant so I didn’t even put it in character tags. but I’m delighted so many people agree that daozhang is a loser hgfjsdhf

november:

most popular is this post about me having xuexiao feelings

december:

the most popular and very dear to my heart is this headcanon about xiao xingchen and his fucked up relationship with his body and his unhealthy coping mechanisms. (I had this headcanon in my head for such a long time, probably for over a year, but for some reason I was reluctant and nervous to post it... maybe because eating issues seemed like a sensitive topic and hgfdsjhgf ??? idk? anyway I’m very happy so many people loved it)

honourable mention to my songxue f1 au because it’s so specific and I was absolutely ready for it to get 0 notes hgfsjdh thank you to the 5 people who liked it <3

Fic writer meme

Nicked from @alienfuckeronmain

1) How many works do you have on AO3? 83 as of touched by the feasting tendrils of the night, my first mainline oxventure fic (which no one but me cares about)

2) What's your total AO3 word count?

372k (as of 10th August 2021)

3) How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?

27 though there's a couple of multitags in there. 22 without.

4) What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

look what you made me do - So I'm good at writing fast and being new to fandoms. This paid off for me. I wrote this very quickly and it includes a lot of taylor swift references, including some very oblique ones that I'm pretty proud of. Also its got a great sex scene and some good OCs and the phrase goatus interruptus.

feel you from the inside - my first viral fic! AKA when do you guys do rec? Turns out Stormtroopers have orgies like workouts and superstitions about wanking and Poor Poe Dameron. Never saw it coming. Jas Queen - the sequel to lwymmd. There's so much in this story that I really love, I think the sex scene is one of my best, its symbolic, its funny, it has songs and puppetry and crossdressing! Catch me when I'm falling for you. - again, early to the fandom, reaps the reward. The perfect girlfriend is better, but this was me on a post-ghostbusters high writing science girlfriends

vestis virum facit - this is a reverse striptease/clothing porn/cockblocking geralt for fun and kudoes fic.

5) Do you respond to comments, why or why not?

Probably 99% of them. Only really don't answer ones that are "thanks for sharing" on very old stories.

6) What's the fic you've written with the angstiest ending?

Lolololol consent to be wrecked. I genuinely thought I'd write a sequel after the last Jedi came out so I purposely didn't give them a happy ending. Absolute lols. I also thought I'd be a bnf off the back of it. the amount of humble pie I ate in the aftermath of that story would give me diabetes if it was real. I needed it though, the experience.

However, if there is love at the end of everything is a twilight zone style story, it has the most "bad ending" of all my fics.

7) What's the fic you've written with the happiest ending?

The schmoopiest ending is definitely the rose of terok nor, I kind of almost hate it but it is the point that they have a romance novel ending. Honourable mention to go let the stars watch let them stare...the happy ending is a single line but fuck did I work so hard for it.

8) Do you write crossovers? If so what is the craziest one you've written?

I've written and published two crossovers but I don't think either are crazy really. I wrote never noticed the rain, an X men/Hannibal fusion, and a dS/bsg fusion/crossover called the poets let a generation down that I think everyone in latter-day dS fandom has to write. I wrote a lot of weird ones in my nsfw Fridays days, and I wrote two raffles/star wars crossovers interesting basically just me and one other person. Oh and I have an outline for a Hitman/Bloodborne fic I will never write even though I really, really want to.

9) Have you ever received hate on a fic?

I was the target of dsanon like everyone in latter day ds fandom, and once a peer in swtfa fandom said that one of my stories was rapey (it was not ctbw) and I'm STILL furious about it. Also back in my ff.net trigun days someone said I was "waisting my talent" and I was sad for ages.

10) Do you write smut? If so what kind?

lolololol. I used to exclusively write slash smut, then I moved to femslash smut, now I write 75% het smut. honestly I wonder what happened to me.

11) Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of.

12) Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes! Mostly femslash stories into Chinese, Russian and Thai.

13) Have you ever co-written a fic before?

No. I don't even have a beta. I've discussed it a couple of times but honestly it feels too much like work.

14) What's your all time favourite ship?

Raffles and Bunny, probably. Obviously 47 and Diana are my current otp, (we will always have Mendoza and the launch trailer even if we don't have the lust dlc) and I have other fandoms and I'll always love most of the pairings I've written (sit down johnlock). That said, I think only Raffles and Bunny still give me the fluttery feeling in my chest with how hard I ship them, 12 years since I first read the first pages of the ides of march and lost my mind.

15) What's a WIP that you want to finish but don't think you ever will?

Pioneer au. The last Jedi killed off everything good about star wars, but this was going to be SO iddy and SO brilliant and I'm still SO keen to write it. I might file the serial numbers off it and make it an original story...but its such a star wars story, its such a classic fic, I think it'd just feel like a fic with the names changed. plus, the twist won't work...god fucking damn it Kyle Ron. I'll never get over the loss of that fandom.

16) What are your writing strengths?

Character studies, smut, character studies through smut. Cadence and rhythm of prose. Dumb sex farces.

17) What are your writing weaknesses? Dialogue, pacing, plot, OCs. They're improving though.

18) What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?   I think there's only one fic where there's another language that's a plot point, which is in blow a kiss fire a gun, which no one has ever told me was wrong, unlike every single time I try and use Latin for fic titles. I once got Latin so wrong I got so immediately called out for it I ended up using the translation in the gibberish of chapter three of consent to be wrecked.

19) What was the first fandom you wrote for?  Trigun. Well, technically the X files, but I never posted it. Trigun was my first fandom, I was 13, I wrote smut. It is still floating around on the internet and I'm not linking it. You're welcome.

20) What's your favourite fic you've written?

I have a list on my ao3 profile of my faves but it needs updating, but number one probably has to be even steak don't cry. Second place is the rose of terok nor...2019 was a good year for my fic writing. Shout out also to the currently unpublished final part of watch me (its coming!) which I have reread and redrafted so many times and love so much.

I'd love to read other people's, so if you want to, give it a gooooo.

[its-all-ineffable]

Ooh, interesting game! Thanks for the tag @fandomsmeantheworldtome!

Tbh, these will mainly be characters from fandoms that I got into in 2021 more than anything. A lot of these films/shows had already come out before then. Also, most of the characters from 2021 media will be Marvel. I'm not sorry. Also, I may include a character I fell in love with all over again what with the new season of their show coming out in 2021...

In no particular order:

Clark Kent (DCEU): I mean...Henry Cavill. I discovered the DCEU in late 2021 and you know what, I'm so glad I did. I love so many people from this universe, and so many of the movies, but Clark is just my fave.

Lois Lane (DCEU): How can you not love DCEU Lois? I love her as much as I love Pepper Potts from the MCU, and to anyone who knows me, you know how much I adore Pepper! She's so cool, and beautiful and badass, and I love her.

Sam Wilson (MCU): I liked Sam before this year, I did, he was funny and cool, but honestly he was never a character I was particularly enthusiastic about or cared too much about. And then The Falcon and The Winter Soldier happened and I fell in love with him. I adore Sam now. (The show also made me fall in love with Bucky too, but Sam more so, so I put him on the list)

Sylvie Laufeysdottir (MCU): I ship Sylki, I love Sylvie, no I am not sorry, she was the best addition to the MCU in any of the new shows we got, and I love her so much it's unreal!

Jason Todd (Titans): So, I got into the DCEU in 2021. And then I watched Titans and I spiralled down the Batfam fanfic hole. And now I love Jason Todd. Particularly the Titans one since I know him best, and the other knowledge I have of Jason as a character is from the one comic I've read and all the fanfics. Titans Jason is my baby and the best character on that godforsaken show bar Gar.

Batfleck (DCEU): Yes, I said Batfleck. All other Bruce Wayne's/Batman's (apart from Baby!Bruce in Gotham) are awful and I hate them. But for some unexplainable reason, I am in love with Ben Affleck's Batman. I'm not crazy about him as an actor, but his version of Bruce is just my kind of Batman.

Thomas Barrow (Downton Abbey): I watched Downton for the first time in 2021 - I know, as a Brit that's shameful, but...eh - and did I ever fall in love with the evil gay butler who mellowed as the show went on. The best thing about this show, apart from Mrs Hughes and Cora Crawley, I swear.

Polka Dot Man/Abner Krill (The Suicide Squad/DCEU): I mean...he's just so adorable...I...do I have to say more?

Peter Parker/Spider-Man (The Amazing Spiderman): So I only knew MCU Spidey, I'd never watched the other films, and didn't want too. And then No Way Home happened. So I watched Maguire and Garfield's films, and I fell madly in love with Garfield's Spider-Man. He's wonderful, and I now understand the hype for him.

Jaskier (The Witcher): So...The Witcher season 2 dropped on December 17th 2021. I loved Jaskier in season 1, him and Yen were my favourite characters. And I moved on, I obsess over a few fandoms at a time, you know how it is - and The Witcher came back with a vengeance. In watching the new season, and re-watching the old one, I fell in love with this wonderful bard (and Joey Batey) all over again.

Honourable mention to Lucky the Pizza Dog from Hawkeye who has my whole heart!💖 I could easily do 10 more tbh, I fell in love with so many new MCU characters and discovered love for ones I previously scorned. Also, fell in love with a load of DCEU characters too, and few others from other fandoms.

I tag @ramblingsofachristiannerd, @lonelygodsmuse, @lunarmultishine, @thewindandthewolves, @fanboy-sloth, @lokicat5, @simpofthecentury, @writerextraordinaireblog, @thiscastielkinnie & @famousflowermagazine! (No pressure)

I was tagged by the lovely @mikesmoustache to share the 10 characters I fell in love with in 2021. I watched a lot of new series in 2021 and my list will be the characters i discover in the start of 2021 till the end of the year.

Rodney McKay - Stargate Atlantis

Horatio Hornblower - Hornblower series

Mobius M. Mobius - Loki series

All three characters Daniel Radcliffe plays in Miracle Workers series but especially Ezekiel Brown because of the famous to the miracle workers fans dancing scene 😂

Colin Robinson- What We Do In The Shadows

The Captain, Patrick Butcher and Robin the caveman - BBC Ghosts series

Vex and Ho-Tan from Yonderland

Almost every single one character Ben Willbond plays in Horrible Histories and almost every singe one character Larry Rickard plays in Yonderland like these lovely babies ❤️

but to be completely honest i fell in love with all the brilliant team of the six idiots and i love all their characters, i wish them to continue giving us joy with their works and i hope new fans discover them because they deserve all the love in the world

I will tag @penguinsheart @eames-with-a-rose @ramblingsofachristiannerd @its-all-ineffable @littlehollyleaf @ailendolin @love-rats @will-deb-beh-bond @the-20th-century-girl @theydoctor @quinninthenorth @piratebuttercup @starleska @thismessedupholisticuniverse @your-mad-tea-party-blog @villainsweakness and everyone who wants to do it ☺️
