1. My difficulty with fandom regardless of the fandom - is I don't care if the characters are happy. They aren't real. I just want a good story. Happy characters is often boring story. Be nice if they ended happy - but I just want a good story arc. Fandom seems to only care about their favorite characters. The other thing fandom only seems to care about is if the series espouses their own worldview and preaches it. If I wanted a sermon - I'd go to church. I don't like to be preached to. All I care about is a story - and a good story shouldn't be put a political message first, that's not story, that's allegory. I find allegorical writing boring.
2. I did get laundry done on my day off. Had the equivalent of four heavy loads. Actually more like five - but had one huge washer - for the the towels and sheets.
( Personal )
3. I finished Vox Machina finally - it's good. Just two seasons at the moment. Onto the Witcher - which I have to watch from the beginning again, because I can't remember it. I'm also considering hunting down a English version of Cowboy Bebop animated series. (I don't want to see the live action version.)
Vox Machina is an adult fantasy anime - with a heavy Dungeons and Dragons vibe. I have a feeling I may have enjoyed that game in another life.

4. Ah, finally found it again...Buffy and Spike find their Happy Ending in the Last Slayer Comics but with a Dark Twist.

Spike Supporting Buffy Side by Side
( spike and buffy from the Boom Comic - the Last Slayer )
BOOM took over from Dark Horse, and is sans the misogynistic Scott Allie, Joss Whedon, et all - so what they did? Reboot the verse, and did it sans the rapes, attempted rapes, and all the misogynistic tendencies. In this verse, Buffy ends up with Spike, in a healthy relationship of equals no less, and no sexual violence. Or references to it. In this verse, it didn't happen. In this verse, Tara and Willow ended up together. Buffy married Angel, he walked out on her, and they got divorced twenty years ago. Now, she's in her fifties and with Spike. They are co-watchers to Thess, Willow and Tara's kid, after Willow and Tara are killed. It's actually a good comic. I like it better than the Dark Horse comics, better art, and better writing.
5. The X-men comics have reinvented my favorite female character again - it's kind of where I got my fandom internet name from...
( origin of shadowkat )
This is basically Kitty Pryde of the X-men, who can phase through and disrupt technology, along with walls, is wickedly smart, and a ninja.
She goes by the nickname "Shadowkat". It was originally shadowcat in the old comics, but finally it's correct, Shadowkat. People have been misspelling my pseudonym forever. It's annoying, but I handwave.

6. They are torturing my other favorite character in the X-men comics. Actually I have a lot of fav's in the X-men comics - it's why I read them. I have a 100 characters in those comics that I adore.
But, hey, at least they didn't kill him. So there's that. No instead they've sewn his eyes shut, and broken his back.
They allegedly killed off a bunch of characters, but no one in the fandom believes they are dead. ( Read more... )
6. Almost done with Blood Sweat and Chrome - Mad Max Fury Road - despite what you may think - I'm not a fan nor obsessed with the film in any way. I saw it once. Thought it was a good, if insanely violent and at times cringe-inducing action film, and that was it. I just like books about movie making.
