The Blogification Of My Fandom Fixations
It’s been a slow week. I have stuff lined up to write, stuff I want to watch, stuff I need to watch… and none of it feels right at the moment. None of it is hitting that spot, ya know?
So, where do we turn? Somewhere new and classic all at the same time.
Happy New Year, guys! I hope you had a good holidays and will have a good New Year.
We are starting the blog off strong this year with a brief look at the Christmas Specials, because to my disappointment I’ve not actually watched much of anything else since last I posted. So, into this we go!
It’s Christmas! Well, it’s the festive season, and very nearly Christmas.
I rewatch this Trilogy almost every year for the fun of it, and their sweet, and pretty, and more so a just cute little Christmas movie that’s calming. There’s no real threat there, nothing to leave you biting your fingers. They’re easy Christmas viewing. I don’t do easy very often, but I do enjoy this Trilogy enough to revisit it each year.
Look, I cannot be deemed responsible for the Specials featuring David Tennant’s return to the role of The Doctor coming out at the same time I was trying to finish Blindspot. So, no, I did not finish Blindspot this past two weeks. I did, however, with unbelievable amounts of commitment, finally, much to some of my friends and family’s glee, catch up on, Doctor Who.
Look, It’s only been a week.
Yes, we’re still on Blindspot.
There was absolutely no way I was going to finish the over two full seasons worth of episodes I had to watch before I had to write another post. If I could hibernate and just watch episodes without ever having to leave my room or socialise, perhaps I could’ve, I, however, have stuff to do, unfortunately.
So, we’re trying something new. I know. Scary, but sometimes you have to mix things up.
The intent here? They’re still part of the FF post schedule, same tab, same category. The point is brevity. If it’s a new show, you’ll get the usual boring bits, and after that it’s just, as the name implies, a catch up. The explorations of a show to come when I’ve finished it.
So, let’s dive in.
It’s spooky season, right? Not only that, it’s Halloween!
My personal dislike of scary movies leads my spooky night viewing to be a kids movie from over a decade ago. That length of time alone is scary enough. I say dislike… I don’t do scary, okay? I prefer my heart to stay within my chest, and my soul within my body. Movies should be calming, or at worst tear-inducing.
So, as with all Random Rambles installations we’re going to just dive into this one and see where it takes us.
I think we’ve well established on here that I quite love this show, it is certainly the current fixation and taking up most of my brain space.
I have watched it numerous times with love. I have a particular love for a one Emma Swan, and just as great a love for her endgame pairing with Killian Jones, so let’s take a look at CaptainSwan, shall we?
So, I realise I am late to this party, but in this past week, according to my fandom based socials, two things have celebrated a birthday.
As it goes with Random Rambles there is zero structure, so take a peak and dive in with me!
Oh, and this is Not Spoiler Free. It will, however, plead with you to watch it. So, if you don’t mind a lightly spoiled convincing, read right ahead. If you’ve watched it before and just want a list of reasons why you should watch it again? Fairly certain I’ve accomplished that too.
Look, let’s not sugar coat this one, I adore this show. The tiny little webseries that could, and it has taken my gay heart by storm. It has been rewatched numerous times, to a degree that I have developed such an ability to passive watch it I can get work done while it plays, and generally speaking, multitasking is not one of my best skills.
It never ceases to be a favourite, and I never seem to get bored of it. I love the romance, the lesbians, the love, and the demonic creatures from the depths of hell. It’s all part of the meal, and it is a fantastic one at that.
