fannish 50 #1
Jan. 7th, 2025 05:51 pmHappy new year, first of all. In an attempt to oil my brain, I've joined Fannish 50 in 2025. I've been consuming a lot of media, maybe too much, and maybe I have too many streaming apps available to me -- SO. The least I can do is try to process some of it. When I put things into words, it helps me to remember, and my brain, she's so dusty and creaky these days.
BLACK SAILS // I finished watching Black Sails recently, which I admit I only started watching because my cool and smart friend loves it. It didn't make much of an impression on me, however. I'm not sure if that's because it's just not my thing, or if my brain just wanted to go from visual stimuli to visual stimuli chasing that dopamine. It's very sexy and very fun to watch with friends, but probably not a rewatch show.
EDINBURGH NIGHTS // I've been really enjoying TL Huchu's Edinburgh Nights books. The simplified description is that it's like Ben Aaronovitch's Rivers of London series, except instead of a London cop as protagonist, it's an impoverished Scottish teenager. When I read the first Edinburgh Nights book (The Library of the Dead -- why yes i did start reading it because i was intrigued by ~Magical Library~~*), I wasn't sure I liked the writing style, but then I thought maybe the style is an effect of the narrative voice (it's written in 1st-person in a more conversational style). I'm still not sure, but TL Huchu knows how to tell a compelling story and I am all in now. I cannot wait for the next book.
I started typing Jeanette Ng's "Under the Pendulum Sun", but I think this is it for now. I have to see to the dog's dinner and then clean up the kitchen so I can mess it up again cooking MY dinner. I'll talk about my "Under the Pendulum Sun" Wincest AU next entry. Over and out.
