Witness me!
Dec. 2nd, 2023 01:27 pm++ It's already December. Time, it be weird.
++ The teaser trailer for Furiosa, the prequel movie to Mad Max: Fury Road, was recently released. Honestly, just like when they had announced this being made I'm not quite sure how to feel about it. I've seen varying opinions about it already, some I agree with and some I don't, but I want to reserve my judgment until we see the final product. Upon first impressions though I am a bit cautiously optimistic, so we'll see. With that being said, it certainly got me inspired to do a rewatch of Fury Road again, because it's been a hot minute and that film was absolutely phenomenal on multiple different levels.

Give me a topic, and I will answer with my top fives. Any subject, any at all.
Anything from fannish to general real life stuff. If there is anything that I cannot answer in its entirety I'll let you know, but otherwise go for it. :)

I added the bonus because I couldn't just leave him out, he's been on my favorites for a while now but I wanted to make this list a combination of forever favorites and newer favorites.

That's all I can think of, at the moment. I know that I have more, but those are the only ones that are coming to my head. And as for favorite cities, I don't think I have any? There are cities that I would love to visit someday, but otherwise I haven't really gone to many where I'd consider them my favorite.

Date: 2023-12-03 04:52 pm (UTC)Five favorite fictional romances
no subject
Date: 2023-12-04 07:21 am (UTC)01. Telekinesis. Ever since Matilda, I became kind of fascinated by the ability to move objects with your mind.
02. Pyrokinesis. Similarly, since Stephen King's Firestarter, the ability to start fires with your mind also kind of became an interest to me as a superpower.
03. Psychometry. I had to look up the actual word for this, but it's the ability to know the history of an object or even a person simply by touch. I'm someone who is fascinated by history and the background of where certain things originated from, so I've always thought it would be cool to have such an ability.
04. Levitation / Flying. I just like the idea of being able to float and fly.
05. Shapeshifting. Being able to become whoever or whatever you want. Having an ability similar to Mystique from X-Men would be amazing.
06. Omnilingualism. Because I really want to know how to read and speak all languages of the world, dammit, and it would come as being damn useful.
Top Five Favorite Fictional Romances
I'm assuming this is canonical fictional romances, which in that case my answers are, in no particular order:
01. Maria/Captain von Trapp, from The Sound of Music
02. Buffy/Angel, from Buffy the Vampire Slayer
03. Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan, from Guardian
04. Zhou Zishu/Wen Kexing, from Word of Honor
05. Six/Gaius, from Battlestar Galactica

no subject
Date: 2023-12-05 05:50 am (UTC)Top Five Books
01. The Southern Reach Trilogy by Jeff VanderMeer (anything by Jeff VanderMeer, tbh, he's quickly become one of my favorite authors in recent years)
02. Out by Natsuo Kirino
03. Flowers in the Attic by V.C. Andrews
04. Battle Royale by Koushun Tamaki
05. Dune by Frank Herbert (I would say the entire Dune saga by Frank Herbert, especially the first four books, but the first one for sure)

Date: 2023-12-05 08:30 pm (UTC)I suggest Borne by Jeff VanderMeer, especially since you liked The Southern Reach Trilogy. I read that one directly after reading those books and it further solidified why he was becoming my favorite author.

Date: 2023-12-04 06:35 pm (UTC)I'm also hovering between excitement and wariness re the Furiosa trailer. There are some really cool shots in it and it's got the aesthetic; also Chris Hemsworth seems to be having a blast. It's still looking very CGI-y (the images are far too "clean") but then again they still have 6 months and it's one of the main criticisms I've heard of it, so I'm sure the people responsible will have heard it too. XD The first trailer for MMFR also looked much cleaner and even included unfinished shots, sooo...
Generally, I have faith in Miller so I'm with you on being cautiously optimistic. *fingers crossed*
no subject
Date: 2023-12-05 09:05 am (UTC)I don't know, like I said I'm reserving any judgment until we see the final result, but I'm leaning more to being on the positive side. Despite whatever obstacles, I do want this to be made well.
And now, onto my answers!
Top Five Villain Songs
01. "Legal Assassin" / "Let The Monster Rise", from Repo! The Genetic Opera
02. "In The Dark Of The Night", from Anastasia
03. "Hellfire", from The Hunchback of Notre Dame
04. "L'assasymphonie", from Mozart, L'Opera Rock (although this probably doesn't count as a villain song, Salieri is Mozart's rival and this song kind kind of really displays that jealousy)
05. "Toxic Love", from Ferngully: The Last Rainforest (truly, Tim Curry didn't have to go that hard at making a some about pollution be sultry and sexy, and yet here we are)
no subject
Date: 2024-01-12 06:53 pm (UTC)Though I have to check out Repo! again because it’s been so long that I don’t remember the song titles anymore. XD
But yeah, “Hellfire” is amazing, “In the dark of the night” is also really awesome. Funnily enough, I immediately think of this song when that line shows up in a fic or something. XD His German voice actor is also one of my favourites of all time – Joachim Kemmer, who was the voice of so many iconic characters in my childhood (Jafar, Sebastian the crab, Lumiere, Rafiki plus many many more).
Ferngully was a bit of a weird movie and that villain song sure was something else. XD
no subject
Date: 2024-01-14 11:03 pm (UTC)Ferngully was among my childhood favorites. It's been so long since I've watched it though.
no subject
Date: 2024-01-15 06:59 pm (UTC)Ferngully doesn't hold up super well but it's still fine. I've got far less tolerance for the bat nowadays, but I still like the main character, most of the songs (I was obsessed with that love song where they're in that cave, sooo pretty!) and the animation is also really okay.

I may snag this one from you. :D
no subject
Date: 2023-12-05 01:00 am (UTC)01. Strawberry Lemonade
02. V8 Fusion Juice (specifically Strawberry Banana and Peach Mango)
03. Wendy's Chocolate Frosty (technically a dessert rather than a drink, but I think it qualifies)
04. Hot chocolate / chocolate milk
05. Water
Top Five Scents
01. Strawberry. ❤
02. Winterberry Ice (because it's that time of the year again, this is my favorite scent from Bath & Body Works)
03. Anything with a fruit scent, to be honest. I prefer that over anything floral, since floral scents are too strong for me and make me sneeze.
04. Fresh linen/clean sheets, basically anything that has been washed and has that fresh smell that I love.
05. The smell of rain. :)
