I CATAPULT myself onto your internet couch, sending all and sundry flying. I have many questions. How on earth do you watch so many movies? How did you manage the dichotomy of an 1800's Gay Uncle trapped inside a lovely lady in modern times? What hobby do you sometimes see going around and be like I Should Do The Thing and then never actually Do The Thing (or is that just me?) What do you look for in a Fandom Community? Do you have any Mindless Background Shows or just Aesthetic Wunderkinds?
YESS MY INTERNET COUCH HOUSES AGAIN ITS ORIGINAL RESIDENT :D
- This is the choice I have made for my time, that’s pretty much it! Things always get a little busy there at the turn of the year as the studios kindly DUMP everything on us the closer we get to awards season because they believe strongly in that recency effect (not entirely without reason), but on average I’m only watching about 3 a month I think? Honestly part of the reason I watch more movies than TV shows is that in total it takes up waaaaayyy less time. I can watch maybe four movies in half the time it would take me to watch one 13 episode TV season.
- Haaahahahaa, okay for the record I recently mentioned to rainbowrites that I was having someone over for tea, and then had to explain that my aesthetic/lifestyle is basically your bachelor English uncle who gets overexcited about his obscure research. Yeah I don’t know that’s kinda just….the vibe! My best friend and I have talked about how our dream pace would be to basically just be Professor Perlman, like oh looks like a new batch of slides of ancient statues has arrived, guess we’ll just leisurely delve into these for like a week in between having people over for freshly squeezed juice.
- I’ve thought before that I should get back into knitting. My high school biology teacher taught me how to knit, which was charming as he was in his late 30s, a he, and a scientist, none of those things really befitting your classic idea of “a knitter”
- I look for you! :) No but pretty much! Maybe this is because I was not anywhere near ANY online fan community until I was 23, but general fandom isn’t my speed. I just like chatting about shows with a few funny folks who Get It, and I *loved* when the little Star Trek Community guided me through the whole dang franchise with such thoughtfulness and joy, and yeah I really like seeing if I can write down my TV thoughts & ideas in a way that other people will enjoy reading and sometimes write me little messages like “oh my gosh I thought that tooooo” and it’s like ahh same hat!!! And some of the fan art is GREAT and so stunning. But honestly, you’ll allow me to get mean for a minute, I find most of fandom to be just bad takes and mediocre pornography. The bad takes offend me much more. Ooo some saltiness!
- I have never put a TV show on in the background in my life. If I’m watching a thing I am watching a thing. This is why I only watch a handful of shows a year, because they’re gonna get my full attention so they better be worth it! I would say that I watch things besides just Aesthetic Wunderkinds though, only…..well my favorite trashy shows are trashy aesthetic shows….and my favorite non-aesthetic shows are still wunderkinds….okay maybe you got me. Let’s say Aesthetic/Wunderkinds. YEAH ALRIGHT.
