February is Fantasy Month! And this year the theme is one of my favorite things of all time…FANDOMS. So today I hope you will indulge me as I release my Ultimate Fangirl Mode! (Not that you’ve never seen that before…)
If you’ve never heard of Fantasy Month, allow me to direct you to its creator, the beautiful, amazing, storytelling genius herself Jenelle Schmidt. All the way back in 2016, in order to knock back the February blues, Jenelle created “February is Fantasy Month” in which we can explode the blogosphere and social media with one of the greatest genres of all time: FANTASY. Each year there is usually a bit of a theme, and this year it’s all about fandoms! Which, ya know, IS MY FAVORITE.
Jenelle is sharing all sorts of fantasy and fandom goodness over on her blog, so definitely check out her posts! (And just give her a follow because her posts are always top-notch and full of fantasy goodness and amazing book recommendations and she’s just an absolutely lovely person in general.)
There’s usually a tag to go along with the celebrations. This year’s tag, of course, focuses on fandoms and is open to answer on Instagram or your blog or wherever! And since I always have way too many fandom thoughts, I decided to answer it on my blog where the wordcount isn’t limited. *cackles*
So grab your favorite beverage in your favorite fandom mug (or a unicorn mug works too, I have many if you need to borrow one) and let’s delve into some fangirling!
THE FANTASY MONTH
FANDOM TAG
What was the first fandom you fell into?
I have been a lover of stories since, well, birth, whether it be books, TV, or movies, so that’s a hard one. But I’d have to say my first, first true story loves are the Disney classics. We had a bunch of the classic Disney animated films on VHS (yes, I’m old shhh) when I was a wee thing and I would watch them on repeat…a lot. My main go-tos were Cinderella, Peter Pan, and Winnie-the-Pooh. (Though The Aristocats, 101 Dalmatians, and Aladdin had plenty of turns as well. And Alice in Wonderland…and Lady and the Tramp…and The Lion King. Okay yeah, pretty much all of them.) Beauty and the Beast was also OF COURSE a great love though, alas, I didn’t own that one until a bit later (and by “a bit later” I mean more like…9 years old instead of like 4 lol. But I watched it at my best friend’s house ALL THE TIME. *grins*)
Out of all of those though, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh was MY ultimate movie. I remember watching that movie literally as far back as my memory goes. I would always get so sad at the end when Christopher Robin tells Pooh he’s going away for a while and Pooh talks about how he hates endings because I felt the EXACT same way. So, of course, I’d just rewind it and start all over…and over and over and over.
I was also the kid who played with stuffed animals far more than dolls, and loved romping outside and imaging the world like the whimsical world of the Hundred Acre Wood. Christopher Robin was literally me as a child. The setting , the characters, the lighthearted humor, the music—that was my world.
To this day, whenever I put the movie on (because, yes, I have to revisit it quite frequently) I honest to goodness start getting teary-eyed when that precious music begins to play. I know that probably sounds crazy, but it’s true. It just feels like coming back home.
Though I claim Tangled is my favorite animated film, and I do hold to that, the old Winnie-the-Pooh film holds a place in my heart and brings me joy that no other movie has ever rivaled.
I also definitely had Winnie-the-Pooh stuffed animals, and a Pooh clock, and a Pooh kite, and watched the TV series and all the other movies and specials and yeah. I think I can safely say Disney’s classic animated Winnie-the-Pooh is my first ever “fandom” to be a part of. But also just Disney stuff in general if we’re being broad. I mean, I still get excited when Disney releases a new film, so. XD I’m definitely a Disney girl.
And OF COURSE I adore the original Winnie-the-Pooh books with all my heart and soul. But somehow I didn’t actually read them until later in life. I KNOW.
What is the most recent fandom you’ve become a part of?
*suddenly can’t remember a single thing I’ve read/watched in the past few months*
OH. Well! My sister and I have been steadily going through the Studio Ghibli films, if that counts? I had seen a few Ghibli movies before now, but not many and have DESPERATELY wanted to see more but they were just never anywhere to watch. BUT we recently got a subscription to HBOMax which has them all and you better believe we’re taking advantage of that!
Every Friday we watch the newest episode of WandaVision (which, I guess is a “new” one too though I’ve been a Marvel fan for years now, but we’re getting to that!), and then watch a Ghibli film since the WandaVision episodes are pretty short. It makes the weeks so much brighter knowing we have our “WandaVision-Ghibli nights”, as we call them, to look forward to on Friday evenings.
My top favorite Ghibli film is (surprise, surprise) Howl’s Moving Castle, which of course I HAVE seen before now. But my newest favorite, and second favorite of all time thus far, is Kiki’s Delivery Service. OH MY WORD. IT’S SO CUTE. And my third favorite is Castle in the Sky. Another ADORABLE but also laugh-out-loud funny one. (Also Sheeta and Pazu are a new OTP, just so we’re clear. I would die for them. <333)
SO YES. I think I can safely call myself an “official” Ghibli fan now. I’m just loving them so much!
ALSO. I’ve been reading The Series of Unfortunate Events (recently finished book #6) and GUYS. THESE BOOKS. I so frequently have to stop reading because I’m laughing SO HARD. But I also adoooore the characters and they’re giving me FEELS. My sister has been super anxious for me to read the books because the Netflix series is one of her favorite TV shows of all time and she wants me to watch it. But me, being the bookdragon I am, refuse to watch the series until I’ve read all the books. At last, I am getting to them and AM LOVING THEM SO VERY MUCH. But I’m also anxious to see the TV series because I’ve heard it’s just as good and so true to the books. So I am excited!
Basically, I’ve actually been consuming quite a few new-to-me things and they’re kind of the highlights of my life right now, gonna be real.
Oh, and there’s one more fandom I’ve sort of recently joined as of last year, which brings us perfectly to the next question…
Star Wars or Star Trek?
The short and easy answer: Star Wars.
CAUTION: The following may cause a hernia, stroke, heart attack, and/or death. If you’re a major fan of Star Wars or Star Trek you may want to skip reading the rest of my answer to this question. Don’t say I didn’t warn you…
Ahem.
So. As far as Star Trek I’ve, um, never seen a single episode of the original or any of the shows. Yeah. YEAH. IT’S TRUE. The only thing Star Trek-y I have seen is the 2009 Star Trek film and it’s sequel Star Trek Into Darkness. (I never even saw the 3rd film whoops.) I’M SORRY, GUYS. It’s just not really my thing. I lean much more toward the fantasy side of speculative fiction than scifi. THOUGH. I do appreciate scifi a lot more these days than I did when I was little. (My really young self would hardly even touch anything scifi, the little stinker. But Doctor Who and Marvel broke me of such nonsense.)
NOW THEN. Star Wars!
Shameful confession #2: I had not seen all the Star Wars films or any of the shows until literally last year. YEP. ‘TIS TRUE. Like I said, my younger self just hardly even touched the stuff.
BUT. I do appreciate the Star Wars fandom. In all honestly, I’ve always had FOMO with it because I wanted to like it, I wanted to be a part of, ya know, the majority of the world and be obsessed with these things. But it just wasn’t my thing…
(At least I always had LOTR and didn’t miss out on all the popular geeky things. XD)
So I had only seen the prequel films a time or two (because watching those things feels like the equivalent of digging a rusty fork into my eyes I’M SORRY) annnd I had only seen A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back ONCE. Super uber shameful confession #3: I’d never watched Return of the Jedi.
I KNOW.
Some point in my early teen years my brother convinced me to watch the films, and we got through the Prequels, and the first two Originals, and then….somehow…never watched Return of the Jedi??? And to this day I don’t know why or what happened. But yep. Until 2020 I had never seen the final Original film. Although, I kind of knew everything that happened because one cannot live in this world and not know the plot to the original Star Wars films. XD
ANYWHO. 2020 happened and Disney+ came around, giving access to all the films, and I really did want to see the new ones but kept not getting around to it because I needed to rewatch the Prequels to refresh my memory on things and uggghhh. BUT. In July of last year I finally did it. I had a major marathon and watched them ALL. Prequels, Originals, Sequels, and the extras (a.k.a Solo and Rogue One).
And…I actually rather enjoyed myself??? (Well, suffering through the Prequels still felt like digging a fork in my eye for most of the time, but OTHERWISE.)
I came to really appreciate the Originals because OF COURSE. But I also very, very much enjoyed the new films. In fact, this may be blasphemous to Star Wars fans everywhere, but I think The Force Awakens is my favorite Star Wars film??? It was just so FUN. But I really loved all three of them. Yes, even The Rise of Skywalker. SORRY. Rogue One bored me to tears though. But I liked Solo waaay more than I thought I would. Also, Poe Dameron is everything the end.
So there’s my quick thoughts about Star Wars films. (I really should just write a whole post on this subject lol.)
NOW. I still wouldn’t exactly call myself a full blown Star Wars fan. The movies just…kind of bore me still? They’re just not my “aesthetic” as it were. Space battles and whatnot isn’t my thing. BUT. After consuming all the films in like a week, I have absolutely grown a new appreciation for them and the whole fandom, and feel like I can finally at least talk to Star Wars fans intelligently. A little less FOMO now. XD
ALSO. I watched The Mandalorian and genuinely LOVE IT. I have to say…I think it’s my favorite Star Wars thing there is. It’s such a great show!
I’ve also been making my way through the The Clone Wars cartoon and…I’m kind of bored out of my mind? WHOOPS. I was excited to give it a try because I know it’s really popular and well-loved, but man, guys, it’s just not grabbing me. I’m literally on season FIVE and still not super into it. BUT I AM STUBBORN. I’m determined to make it all the way through! Mainly because it seems all the newer Star Wars stuff is tying into The Clone Wars cartoon? And I feel like I’m gonna miss a lot of references and things if I don’t watch it. SO I’M TRYING. I do really like Ahsoka, and OF COURSE Obi Wan is snarky gold, and some episodes and plot threads have definitely captured my attention. In general though I’m just prettyyy bored with it. But I’ve made it this far. I am determined to finish! And then I plan on watching Star Wars: Rebels. I actually did watch season 1 and was getting into it! Buuut then by the end I realized it tied into The Clone Wars so I stopped Rebels to watch that instead. Yeah, I’m slugging through 7 seasons of The Clone Wars just because I don’t want to miss a few references of it in Rebels. I don’t even know, guys…
OKAY. This is literally a blog post in and of itself so we’re moving on! Do feel free to throw tomatoes at me in the comments section. My deep dark secrets have now been revealed.
But I do actually quite like Star Wars now even if it’s not my favorite! So that’s something. I’m trying, guys. I’m trying.
Marvel or DC?
Aha! One I can answer easily without shame.
MARVEL!!!
Although if you’re hoping for more shameful confessions I will say this: I actually didn’t like superhero stuff at all until the Iron Man films. YEP. I told you, little me was so very not a scifi fan. Silly girl.
But then the first Iron Man film came out, I fell in love, and have been avidly consuming all things MCU for alllll these years since.
If you want more of my Marvel thoughts, I made a whole MCU tag a little while back which you can read HERE! And do feel free to take the tag to answer on your own blog. I’d be thrilled, and it’d be perfect to do for this fandom edition of Fantasy Month! *grins*
As far as DC…ehhhh. I like the newer Wonder Woman film quite a lot (though we’re not going to talk about the complete dumpster fire that was the new Wonder Woman 1984 film UGH) and I enjoy some choice Batman things. But in general DC just isn’t for me. Though I have been meaning to try watching The Flash TV series because I have it on good authority (a.k.a friends and family alike screaming at me to “WATCH IT!”) that it’s quite good. So that needs to happen eventually…
But also. GUYS. WANDAVISION. Don’t worry, no spoilers here (and do be courteous and share no spoilers in the comments), but OH MY WORD. I AM IN LOOOVE. Literally my weeks are basically just waiting for Friday when they drop a new episode. (Whyyy can’t they be like Netflix and give us a whole season at once???) I’m particularly loving it because I actually like TV series more than movies. I KNOW. I adore movies, but with TV series there’s so much more room to explore the plot and characters. So receiving TV series with the MCU stories and characters??? WE ARE BLESSED.
What is a fandom you love enough to want to live in that world?
GAH. The age old impossible question: what fantasy world would you live in?
I waver on this constantly. THERE ARE SO MANY PLACES. I mean, the Hundred Acre Wood would clearly be one, if that counts?
My usual go-to answer though is: Narnia. Though I’ve actually always been more of a Lord of the Rings fan than Narnian, I highly doubt I’d survive visiting Middle-earth. O.o But if I stumbled into Narnia during its golden days… *clutches heart* Ah. How glorious that would be. And everyone knows animals are better than people. So living in a world where the population is made up of talking animals and mythical creatures instead of people? Win-win! Seriously, out of all the amazing fantasy worlds out there, few can rival Narnia in its…I don’t know. Enchantment. Its wonder.
BUT ALSO. Wonderland has been one of my favorite things since like the beginning of time. Sometimes I think I did an opposite-Alice and fell into this world from Wonderland. Me being a citizen of Wonderland would explain so many things… AHEM.
Seriously though! The complete absurdity of Wonderland is my favorite and I would so happily live in a world with mad tea parties and crazy queens and talking animals (I just really want to live in a world where animals talk!) and less-than-helpful cats and just ALL OF IT.
Actually, if I can find a wardrobe with a looking glass that goes back and forth from this world to Narnia to Wonderland at will, that’d be the #IdealLife.
If you could hang out with a character from one of your fandoms, who would it be and why?
The other Impossible Question! (Jenelle, you’re killing me!)
WELL. My ultimate favorite characters of all time are Howl and Sophie from the book version of Howl’s Moving Castle. Which, ya know, IS MY FAVORITE BOOK.
So to piggyback on the former question, another world I would so happily live in is Ingary, in Howl’s castle specifically of course. Can I pleeeease just be part of Howl and Sophie and Calcifer and Michael’s cozy, chaotic little life in the moving castle???
*sigh* Okay, okay, if that’s not an option, and I have to pick one character, I’m going with the 10th Doctor from Doctor Who. My other favorite character of all time after Howl and Sophie. And if I could just become his companion while we’re hanging out and travel through time and space with him for all of time, that’d be great too.
Ten is MAH BOY and even though I do love the other Doctor reincarnations, and it’s been a good what? 10? 11? years since he reincarnated, I still mourn him. *SOBS*
Honorable mentions go to: The mad hatter, annnd the whole Fellowship of the Ring, annnd the Rampion Crew from The Lunar Chronicles, annnd…okay. I need to stop or we’ll be here ‘til the end of time.
Unknown fandom (something you love but nobody else seems to have heard of).
Oooh! Let me see. I read (and love) a lot of indie books, so I guess those count toward being unknown to the world at large.
BUT, as far as being unknown to my personal circle, I’d say the Kingdom Hearts video game franchise.
I don’t bring it up a whole, whole lot because I don’t want to bore you guys with a game you’ve never played. But if we’re being honest? This franchise has been such a major, major part of my life. Literally since I was 10 years old! That’s 18 years of my LIFE being wholly and completely obsessed and invested in these games and characters and plot threads and and and yeah.
It is truly one of my greatest loves, and even though there’s like a badrillion games, I hope to goodness they don’t stop making them. At this point I can’t even imagine life without waiting in anticipation for the next game. (Yes, I probably need a life hush.)
And hey, if you ever want to experience the story without having to go through the many (rather difficult) games, I can absolutely hook you up with a list of YouTube videos and things that will provide just that. I recently did this with my sister who isn’t wild about RPG video games but did want to see the full story and IT. WAS. A. DELIGHT. I mean…we’re talking hours upon hours of cut scenes here, but IT’S WORTH IT. My sister is now just as obsessed as I am, despite never playing the games.
There are also rumors of Disney+ making a Kingdom Heart series??? And JUST !!! I would explode in hearts and rainbows and glitter if this actually happened. Maybe finally everyone will understand my obsession. I NEED TO BE VALIDATED.
It’s just such a good story, guys. *sobs*
Oh? Also. Sora, the main character, would 100000% go on that above list of characters I would want to hang out with. He is the most fun-loving cinnamon roll to ever grace the fictional world.
WELL. That was way more Christine fandom talk than anybody ever needed in their lives. I told you this was my favorite subject. XD I HAVE TOO MANY THOUGHTS.
A huge thank you to Jenelle for putting this together! This was such a fun tag to fill out. (Even if some of you may disown me now after certain confessions… Ahem.)
Definitely check out Jenelle’s original post if you want to join in on the Fantasy Month fun yourself!
What’s better than fangirling? Fangirling with fellow fangirls/boys! SO COME. Spill all your fandom thoughts! Do we share any of the same fandoms? Did I shock you with my confessions? What’s a fandom you wish more people knew about? And someone please make me feel better; am I the only one who’s never been a major Star Wars fan???
![Read more about the article Avengers: Endgame Review [SPOILERS]](https://i0.wp.com/christinesmithauthor.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Avengers-Endgame-Review.png?fit=300%2C225&ssl=1)
*squawks* THIS POST=PURE GOLD. XD I LOOOVED IT!!!! NOTHING is better than fangirling! 😉
Okay, so first I have to say that when you said you played with stuffed animals as a kid, MY HEART COULDN’T HAVE BEEN PROUDER. XD I LOVED playing with stuffed animals when I was younger and even though I’m now a teenager, the love still hasn’t stopped! XD I obviously don’t play with them anymore ’cause I’m so busy all the time, but 20 of them still decorate my bed (just counted) and probably like 70 more are stuffed in my closet somewhere. So, um, yeah. I’m a slightly avid collector of them (with 100% no shame). XD
I gotta say though, the whole Star Wars thing kinda took me off guard, but I TOTALLY don’t judge you! (As long as you like the Mandalorian we’re on good terms.) XP I actually do agree with you on a bunch of things about it, like, the prequels??? Bleh. However I do actually like the third prequel because we get to see how Anakin becomes Darth Vader and *sobs* it literally rips me up EVERY time. And EVERY time I’m hoping (sometimes yelling at the TV) for him not to do it. He’s SUCH a #BrokenBoy which is one of the reasons why I love him. Don’t judge. XD Also, WHOOOOOO!!! Someone else likes The Rise of Skywalker!!!!! Seriously, I have NO idea why so many people hate it. I thought it was a FANTASTIC wrap-up to the franchise! And YES for The Force Awakens!!!! I think The Rise of Skywalker was my favorite movie with The Force Awakens and The Return of the Jedi tied for a close second. And wow. You get some MAJOR brownie points for watching The Clone Wars. I actually haven’t seen them and nor do I really want to??? It just looks like something that would totally put me to sleep. (No offense to any Clone Wars fans). XD
MARVEL,MARVEL,MARVEL,MARVEL,MARVEL!!!!!! Literally EVERYTHING you said in that section I TOTALLY agree with! I didn’t like any superhero stuff either until watching them, but after the first movie I saw, MY LIFE BE CHANGED FOREVER. XD And WANDAVISION!!!! My family’s Friday night is almost identical to yours! I gotta say, the second episode kinda freaked me out, but now I’m soooooooo hooked to see where it goes!!! If you like WandaVision so much, have you checked out the Agent Carter series on Disney+? My family and I watched it over the summer and IT IS SO GOOD!!! The end of the first season actually got preeettty dark, which is probably why viewership dropped for the second season (and WHY THEY DIDN’T MAKE A THIRD SEASON *glares at Marvel*), but even so, DON’T MISS the second season. I personally think it’s WAY better! (And if you want to see more of Peggy’s response after you-know-who’s death, then it WON’T disappoint!) 😀
*takes deep breath* SO. There was my fangirling!!! XD Again, this was SUCH a fun post to read!!! Thank you SOOO much for sharing it!!!! 😀
Aaaahhhh thank you, Victoria! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
YOU TOO??? That is so me though! Our attic is overflowing with endless stuffed animals from my childhood. Like seriously, it’s ridiculous. And I may still have some in my closet… I just loved them so much! Stuffed animals are the BEST. *high-fives*
Eheheh. I knew some of you were going to be taken aback by my Star Wars confessions. ‘Tis shameful, I know! But at least I’m trying to get into it now?? And YES. I genuinely love The Mandalorian, so at least I have that going for me. XD
I really wish I liked Anakin’s character, I really do. It makes me sad, because he was so close to being the type of broken boy that ruins all us fangirls’ lives, you know? Lol. But… *sigh* He just drove me crazy. BUT. If you like him you may actually like The Clone Wars cartoon better than I do! Since he’s a main character, and a better version than the movie version in my opinion. This cartoon has made me grow a slightly better appreciation for him, so there’s that!
And someone else who doesn’t hate The Rise of Skywalker yay! That makes me feel better! I was wondering if I didn’t hate it because I’ve never been a major SW fan anyway and just missed all the reasons true fans hate it??? I don’t even know. But I found it quite entertaining myself!
BUT MARVEL. YES. That is my true love! And it looks like we’re twins again with that! YEP. Superheroes just barely interested me until the MCU came into being. It’s so good! *SOBS* And OH MY WORD. Isn’t WandaVision just mindblowing? I can’t wait until next Friday GAH.
I am so ashamed to say I’ve never seen Agent Carter! I’ve been wanting to for AGES but for a while it wasn’t on streaming services or anything I had available. But now that it is I’ve GOT to watch it! I’ve heard it was great! Even if they did cancel it. *glares at Marvel with you*
Awww! Thank YOU for fangirling with me! Your comment has totally made my day! 😀
This was such a fun post to read!!! I love that you did a whole blog post answering all of my IG challenge questions! I didn’t think to make that the tag… and just used Madeline’s… which was similar. So it works.
I don’t know about those Star Wars confessions, though. *eyes you suspiciously* Eh, I guess I’m glad SOMEone liked the sequel trilogy. But man… it’s just… such bad writing. SO bad. And there’s zero character development for ANYONE. And… seriously… wow. I have to stop, or I’ll begin ranting. LOL 😀
I love Winnie the Pooh so much, too! I think we’ve talked about this before. Oh, the Hundred Acre Woods! I spent a lot of time pretending that the woods behind my house were that, or Narnia. My childhood was spent with stuffed animals or outside pretending I was somewhere magical. So many good memories.
TEN IS MY FAVORITE, TOO!!!!! I love him so much.
I have heard that many video games have great storylines. This Kingdom Hearts one sounds fun! My family didn’t ever have video game consoles when I was a kid, so sadly I never developed any talent or skill for it. (I mean, sure, sometimes I’d play Mario on my friend’s Nintendo-64 or something (shush, yes, I’m old… you are NOT old and don’t get to claim it for another decade, you whippersnapper, you). (Ahem. That might have been a Sophie moment). But when you’re playing that on a friend’s console and they’re already good at it… you never get very many turns, because you play till you die… which I generally did rather swiftly whenever I got a turn with the controller. XD I’m pretty good at Wii bowling though. hahaha
I am trying really hard to come up with a little-known fandom for my last Fantasy Month post… but I tend to hang out in circles of people who already know about all the things. Generally, they are much more passionate and animated than I am about most of the fandoms I can think of… so… that’s a hard question. Sorry… maybe I’ll just go with all the indie authors I love.
Awww, thank you! I had a BLAST answering these questions. They were such great ones! I ultimately decided to do it in a post instead of IG because, as you can see, I had way too many Thoughts on everything and that IG wordcount limit doesn’t always like me and my wordy self. XD
*ducks and hides* AHEM. Yes. I’m so sorry! I know you’re such a SW fan! And, like I said, I genuinely wish I was too. It’s just not my favorite thing for some reason… *shakes head* At least I love LotR??? I get points on that, yeah. 😉
I probably liked the sequel trilogy because I’ve never been a SW fan and just found them as entertaining movies and not continuations of something that’s been a huge part of my life, like for most people. Though I do admit, some of the choices they made were absolutely ridiculous. Really, ALL modern TV these days just drives me crazy due to the terrible, terrible and lazy writing. So I do feel you there! I just…I don’t know why no one tries anymore. *sigh*
Oh my goodness YES. Winnie-the-Pooh is everything. I think we have talked about this, haven’t we? I forgot about that! D’awww, I love that you’re a Pooh fan too! It’s just the most precious, happiest thing. I genuinely started crying when I went to see the newer Christopher Robin film, because it felt like coming back to my childhood as an adult, just like Christopher Robin himself and just… *sniffles* It was beautiful.
TEN IS ALL THAT IS GOOD IN THIS WORLD AND I WILL LOVE HIM FOREVER. *SOBS*
It’s honestly mindblowing how deep and fantastic some video game storylines are! The Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy games especially have such good stories! And I always find them far more unique than…well, any other way we get stories. They’re really inspiring! But hey, there’s nothing wrong with not growing up with video games! I probably spent too much time on them in my youth. XD And LOLZ. The first console we ever had was the Super Nintendo, and we got the ’64 when it was brand new. So yes. I do feel old sometimes. 😛
Okay, but Wii bowling is GREAT. Now you’re making me want to go play it. It’s been way too long… Lol.
I definitely had to think about that question myself! I LOVE the idea of highlighting some indie authors though. I mean, some of my favorite stories of all time are indie published. You guys ROCK. <3
What’s really quite funny is that my Star Wars vs Star Trek post later this month may surprise everyone. LOL (It surprised me).
Of course you get points for LOTR. LOTR IS LIFE, PRECIOUS!!!!!
Ahem. Or… anyway… ’tis really, really, really good.
LOLZ
Oh man, the new Christopher Robin movie makes me start bawling every time we watch it. Also, I started watching The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh with my kids (it’s on Disney+ and OH SO MANY MEMORIES) and THAT makes me start tearing up in every, stinkin, episode. So… clearly I have nostalgia.
I love our Wii! We just got it set up again after a couple of years in storage and I have rediscovered that DDR is my favorite thing of ever. (Also, my 3-year old calling it “dance dance level-ution” is the BEST!) 🙂 hahahah
Ooooh, is that so? I look forward to reading it! *grins*
Oh my goodness, I’ve been wanting to watch the Pooh series ever since we got Disney+! Man, I loved that one so much as a child. I’ll probably start tearing up when I get around to watching it too. I totally feel you! But I so love that you’re introducing it to your kids. ^_^
Literally to this day the Wii is still one of my top favorite game systems. It’s such a great one! And that is ADORABLE about your 3-year-old! What’s crazy is, I’ve never actually played DDR. :O
I DID NOT KNOW I NEEDED THIS POST THIS MUCH! XD
Ahhh Winnie the Pooh! I don’t know that I’ve ever watched the movie (shame! shame!) but I listened to it on tape when I was a wee tiny lass A LOT. Like, ALL THE TIME. And I’m positive that I didn’t get all the humor or anything, but I still loved it with a passion. And wow, I had almost forgotten about that until I read this!
Howl’s Moving Castle, while nowhere near as amazing as the book, was fun. And honestly, I do want to watch more Ghibli movies at some point! (Howl’s and Secret World or Arrietty are the only ones I’ve watched thus far. (I think Secret World is Ghibli? It’s been a while.)
I’m sort of with you on Star Wars–haven’t watched much Trek, so that’s the default? But I’m not super into it. And I like the new ones. (I probably have no taste. It’s fine. XD) Although I’m not sure I can say that, precisely, having watched 7, the last 1/2 of 8, and the ending (i.e. last ten minutes) of 9. So. Yeah. (And I’m irritated, because I totally shipped Rey and Finn. I’m sorry. I did. So IDK if I’m ever going to go back and watch 8 and 9 in their entirety. XD)
I do really like the original trilogy, too! I’ve never watched the prequels, and kinda sorta have zero plans to. But I am enjoying The Mandalorian! (I’m not super invested. But it’s fun, for sure!)
ALSO HOW DID YOU NOT WATCH RETURN OF THE JEDI?? Wow. That’s…impressive. Or something.
MARVEL!! Gah. I just. Get excited. Every time. I see that word. I’m so, so looking forward to reading your MCU tag once I’m done with the everything up to Endgame (because I’m avoiding spoilers like the plague, of course)! I have a feeling I will enjoy it immensely. And then I’m going to steal it and fill it out myself. Of course.
I hope you don’t mind.Funny story about WandaVision: last week, my sister and I watched Age of Ultron (I AM LOVE HELP IT WAS AMAZING) and came downstairs to find my parents finishing the first episode of WandaVision, and being So. Very. Confused. Which amused both of us, who knew exactly who Wanda and Vision both are (although I’m not sure that ultimately that makes the first episode less confusing, from what I’ve heard?) So with one thing and another…we watched Age of Ultron again with our parents this weekend. I have no regrets. (Except that my sister is giving up movies for Lent, so I’m going to have to wait until April for Civil War now, since we didn’t watch that this weekend. That’s definitely a regret.)
Narnia. I would honestly rather live in Middle Earth (I am adventurous, apparently?) but Narnia is definitely the obvious second choice, for me! (Talking animals! Moving trees! FAUNS!)
Wow, I have written you a tome here! Sorry? (I mean, I’m not sorry. At all. XD)
Have a lovely day!
Oh my goodness, Samantha! D’AWWW! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I was worried all my fangirl rambles would bore you guys! Haha.
That sounds like such a precious memory! There’s just something about Winnie-the-Pooh that brings about this…happiness and tranquility. I don’t know–I just adore it in all its forms. <3 But oh my goodness, girl, you NEED to see the original Disney classic. It’s the cutest thing!
The book Howl’s Moving Castle shall forever be my favorite favorite FAVORITE thing of ever, and I do wish we had an adaptation of it that followed the storyline wholly. BUT, with that said, I do still adore the HMC movie, even if it’s different. Oooh, The Secret World or Arrietty! Yes! That is a Ghibli film. It’s been a while since I’ve seen it, but I remember thoroughly enjoying that one!
Aaahhh that makes me feel better! I always feel alone in my Star Wars feelings in the midst of such rabid fans. XD But I am starting to enjoy it a lot more than I used to! Except those prequels… *shudders* I don’t blame you a bit for not watching them. But yeah, I have no clue how I went so long without seeing The Return of the Jedi. It was quite the feat. XD
BUT MARVEL MARVEL MARVEL. Perhaps our love for Marvel will make up for not being major Star Wars fans. ;D But UGH. MARVEL IS SO GOOD. *sobs*
Oh my goodness YES DO THE TAG. I would love that so much! Absolutely take it at any time! I can’t wait to see what you think of everything.
Oooh man. WandaVision is confusing enough, but jumping in without seeing all the movies? YEAH. That would be something. I honestly can’t imagine. It’s definitely catered to everyone who has seen all the movies, Endgame especially.
Awww, I’m sorry you have to wait a bit to continue the films. But hey, it just gives you something to look forward to! ^_^
Wouldn’t living in Narnia just be the most wonderful thing? Although yes, Middle-earth would be AMAZING. Maybe I can stick to the safer places if I go, like the Shire and Rivendell. XD
I ADORE this comment! You know I could fangirl about these things all the live long day! Thank you so much for reading and fangirling with me! <3
Ok, so your love of LOTR totally made up for your lack of Star Wars or Star Trek….😉😂 But SERIOUSLY?!?! 🤦♀️🤣🤣
And I’m waiting for one of my siblings (*cough* Jen) to FINALLY earn all the movie tracks for Kingdom Hearts so I can watch any little clips I’ve missed. (Yes, I totally know the story line through watching them play because I just don’t have time to play and have never been a huge videogame player…🙈)
Loved the post!!! 💛
Bwahahaha! At least I have that going for me. XD I do enjoy Star Wars a lot more than I used to though so…at least I’m making progress? 😉 Star Trek though…mmm. Yeah, I need to give it a proper chance one day!
OH FUN! That sounds like my sister! She kept bugging me to hurry up and play through the KH3 Remind DLC so she could watch the clips. Lol. And honestly, I don’t blame you a bit! Though I do love video games, I actually adore just watching them. I spent a ton of my childhood watching my older brother play through games. Sometimes it’s a lot more relaxing to just watch and not have to do the work. XD
Awww, thanks, girl! I’m so glad!
*speaks in sing-song-voice* If some sweet sister of mine would do my chores for me I could get done faster! XP (*coughs louder* Tara)
Christine: You really should give Star Trek a good try! 😜
Lol, well, one sister (*cough* Jen) offered to finish the DLC so I could watch the clips and I have YET to see them…😂
Agreed, it is more relaxing to watch those games than trying to figure it out. For me AND my siblings! Me: “How do I do this again?!” 😂😂😂
Jen: HA!!! You’re hilarious! 😜 Not a chance, sorrynotsorry!
Hello, I am a member of the Kingdom hearts appreciation squad, and I absolutely love that you’re into the games too! I loved reading your answers, your enthusiasm always makes my day brighter 🙂
OH MY GOODNESS. YOU ARE??? *tackles you* HELLO! It’s always the most thrilling to find others who understand the pure epicness of those games! I know so few who have played them.
Awww, thank you so much, girl! That is the sweetest thing for you to say! <3
I haven’t played through all of them, but I watched my brother play the ones I haven’t. Have you read the 365/2 manga? They’re absolutely hilarious.
You’re very welcome! <3
I haven’t read the manga, but I have wanted to for ages now! I definitely need to! I’ve seen little snippets of it on Pinterest and it looks like pure gold. So yes! I need them!
The expansion of the personalities in Organization XIII alone makes it a very worthy read, in my humble opinion.
Oh! And I forgot to mention that I tagged you for The Disney Character Blog tag, here’s the link if you’re interested: https://polkadotpens.wordpress.com/2021/02/10/the-disney-character-blog-tag/
It may or may not be a shameless ploy to hear more about your fantastic characters….
EEEEE!!! This is such a fun tag! Thank you so, so much for passing it my way! And oh my goodness, I’m utterly honored you want to know more about my characters. GIRL. That’s so sweet! <3
You are so welcome! <3
AHDJKG;ADHSKFL!!!!! I LOVE THIS WHOLE POST!!! Just, awk! FANDOMS!!! There’s so many here I love too!
All the Disney classics, yes!!! Winnie-the-Pooh! My childhood! All those movies you mentioned my siblings and I would watch over and over too! (Except Alice, I am so so sorry to say that Alice in Wonderland scared the bejabbers out of me as a kid. I liked it right up to the point where everyone is chasing after Alice, that part just freaked me out so bad. I like it more now that I’m older though, especially the two live action movies.) I remember the days of VHS tapes too! Rewinding took F O R E V E R but rewatching fav movies was so worth it. XD Oh! There was also Peter Pan 2 Return to Neverland! I loved that movie! ^_^
I need to watch more Studio Ghibli movies! I’m pretty sure my library has some. The Series of Unfortunate Events is sooo good!!! I adored reading that series in my early teens and goodness, I’m due for a reread about now. XD
I’ve only watched the original Star Trek series and movies and I like them, but I love Star Wars. And awww, I was hoping you would enjoy the Prequels and Clone Wars, but that’s okay, I understand it’s not for everyone (and your love for the Sequel movies makes up for that. 😉 ). Poe Dameron is the BEST! ^_^ I’m so happy you love the Force Awakens and The Rise of Skywalker!!! I love those movies and it’s so sad seeing all the hate they get. Ahsoka and Obi-Wan are reason enough to watch Clone Wars. XD But Rebels! I love that series so much! I’m curious to know if you like Jar-Jar? Him and Qui-Gon were fun. XD
Marvel!!! YES!!! The only DC I’ve seen is Christian Bale’s Batman trilogy, and as much as I loved it, Marvel totally wins over Batman. XD
*grumbles about still needing to watch Doctor Who* Ten sounds fantastic! I think, whenever I can finally get around to watching the show, he’ll be my favourite too. 🙂
Oh, Narnia!!! But that Wardrobe/Mirror of yours sounds fantastic! ^_^
*squeals to infinity over Kingdom Hearts* A DISNEY+ SERIES!?!? How am I just now hearing of this! Oh I hope this is true!!! (Aaand that they eventually put it out on DVD cause with no home wifi there’s no way I can get Disney+.) And just, all the yes to Sora!!! <333 And you know I am always here to talk Kingdom Hearts with you whenever you want. 😉 I can’t imagine not anticipating a new release in the series either. ^_^
I loved this post sooo much!!! (And I’m stealing your idea and doing this tag all in one post because I’m realizing I just don’t have time for individual posts for each question. XD) Monster comment coming to a close now. 😉 <3
*BEAMS* JEN! Your comments make me smile EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. <333
DISNEY GIRLS UNITE. *fistbump* Those movies were just my happy places…and still are! But that is totally okay the Alice in Wonderland one wasn’t for you. To this day my mom is creeped out by all things Wonderland and does not understand my (and my siblings’!) obsession with it. And the movie definitely had some pretty creepy things in it, especially for kids! So I totally get it! And now I gotta turn around and tell you that Peter Pan 2 was not my thing. I was a bit older when that one came around and it just didn’t feel like my beloved Peter Pan. I don’t know… I wasn’t a fan. SO SORRY.
I have been LOVING watching more Ghibli movies. They are just the cutest! And ooooh my goodness, I am becoming OBSESSED with the Series of Unfortunate Events books. They are just getting more and more twisty with each book and I’m loving it! I’m halfway through book #7 now! 😀
I so wished I liked Star Wars more! Maybe if I had actually watched them when I was real little and grown up with them? I don’t know, they just don’t seem to excite me. ‘Tis sad! BUT. After spending like all of last July immersed in them, I definitely enjoy them more than I ever have! So at least there’s that. XD Oooh, you like the newer ones too? That makes me feel better! They do get so much hate. And I understand some of the writing wasn’t…great, but I still found them fun! And YES. Ahsoka and Obi-Wan make The Clone Wars worth the watch. And R2D2. He’s like genuinely my favorite Star Wars character. XD I’m looking forward to continuing Rebels. I really was enjoying that one! The found family thing was GREAT. Jar Jar… Mmm. I fear I am in the camp that really wishes he had died five minutes after we met him.*cough, cough* He kind of drives me crazy and cheapens the franchise in my opinion. Eheh. Whoops…
ALWAYS MARVEL. Christian Bale’s Batman trilogy was a lot of fun though! Buuut yeah, nothing beats those MCU movies!
I think you would love the Tenth Doctor! But, really, they’re all great and special in their own ways.
I’M SO HAPPY I ALWAYS HAVE YOU TO SQUEAL ABOUT KH WITH. So, so few people I know have played them and I have felt so alone in this fandom until I met you! It makes my heart so happy! And YES. I don’t know when and if it’ll actually happen, but there have been strong rumors that a Disney+ series could be a thing and just WE NEEDS IIITTT.
EEP. Thank you, girl! I’m so glad my many rambles didn’t bore you guys! Hehe. AND OH YESSS. I’d love to see your answers to all of these! *dances*
MARRRRVELLLLLL! YASSSS! *clears throat* Ah, yes, WandaVision. I’ve been super-obsessed with it recently. I’ve been a Marvel fan since forever, and Wanda’s my favorite, and I love both the sitcom element and the action/sci-fi/mystery part, so, yeah. There was no doubt that I’d love it, lol.
And YESSS, NARNIA! AND MIDDLE-EARTH! AND DISNEY! Disney was definitely my first fandom. I watched the movies all. The. Time. As in, daily. Since I was four, it wasn’t like there were things I had to do. I was especially obsessed with Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast.
Truth betold, I’m not a huge Star Wars or Star Trek fan either (though I haven’t seen much Star Trek). I mean, I LIKE both of them. I’ve watched the movies multiple times and enjoyed them. But the squealing and shipping and thinking about them 24/7 just didn’t happen with me. *shrugs*
And, ohmygoodness, A Series of Unfortunate Events is just the BEST.
I may have to join this linkup. Everybody’s posts are so fun.
I know this is already a monster of a comment, but I just had to mention how much I love your posts. You’re so sweet and full of enthusiasm, and all of your posts are so fangirl-y and well-written. You and Samantha definitely brighten up my Mondays.
ALWAYS MARVEL!!!! Oh my word, isn’t WandaVision just so amazing??? I LOVE the quirkiness of it. It’s so different from anything else we’ve received. I just adore it!
Huzzah for another Disney fan! I literally cannot even imagine my life without Disney. It’s been such an integral part of my life since…forever. Those classic movies were everything.
Okay but that makes me feel so much better that I’m not the only person who isn’t crazy obsessed with Star Wars. Most people give me the side-eye when I admit to such things. XD So yes! I’m glad to hear I’m not the only one!
I finished book #7 of A Series of Unfortunate Events last night and have already started book #8! I am becoming obsessed! They’re so so good!
That would be so much fun if you answered these questions! 😀
OH MY GOODNESS. GIRL. You’re gonna make me tear up! That just…I have no words. That means so much to me! I am so humbled and honored that I can brighten your Mondays. Thank YOU for always reading and commenting. It makes my heart swell! <3
You have such good taste! I get not liking Star Trek and I have a strange relationship with Star Wars. Force Awakens is a fantastic film so I agree with you there.
the 10th doctor and Howl and Sophie are the best choices really.
Love this!
D’awww, thank you!
Oh good! It’s making me feel better seeing others that aren’t super wild about Star Trek and/or Star Wars. It’s nice to know I’m not entirely alone in this! But YES. The Force Awakens was great, and I really do like them all in their own ways. I just never think I’ll get to the point where I’m an obsessed fan, sadly.
You can NEVER go wrong with Ten, Howl, and Sophie! 😀
Thanks so much, girl!
I used to HATE star wars but then I watched the original trilogy and it was so good!! (Maybe a bit cheesy) and I love the Mandalorian!!! And Marvel over DC any day – I’ve only watched Wonder woman from DC. I love LOTR- both the books and the films, they’re just so epic and awesome!! Also, BTW, your blog looks so gorgeous!
Oh wow, really? That’s really cool though! The originals really are classics. I mean, you just can’t go wrong with Luke, Leia and Han. And The Mandalorian is GREAT. YES!
Huzzah for Marvel! I’ve not seen many of the newer DC films myself, so maybe I should give it more of a chance? But eehhhh. From what I’ve heard they’re just not wowing it. They need to step up if they want to compete with Marvel. XD
LOTR is e v e r y t h i n g. The books AND the movies! 100% agreed. It’s one of my greatest loves. <3
Awww! Thank you!!! I’m so glad you like the look of it! ^_^
AAAAHHHH this post was EPIC, girl!!!!!!!!!! <33 I must say, ABSOLUTELY shocked over here about the Star Wars thing. Not that you’re not that in to it (it’s understandable) but that YOU ACTUALLY LIKE NUMBER SEVEN????!!!!!!! 😱 Ahem *cough, cough* Sorry ’bout that. 😄 (But like Victoria said, as long as you like Mandalorian, we’re on good terms, ’cause that’s literally the BEST thing Disney’s done with Star Wars!!!!!!!!!!) It’d be cool if Disney + did a series or something off the Kingdom Hearts thing, ’cause I know some peeps who love and talk about it a lot and I really feel like I’m missing out. XD AWESOME POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EEP. ISSABELLE. You always make me smile! <3
Eheheheheheheheh. Yeah. My Star Wars confessions are something, aren’t though? I WILL admit, they made some pretty crazy plot decisions for Rise of Skywalker. But overall I enjoyed it. I probably enjoyed it since I’m not a huge Star Wars fan, so for me it was just an entertaining movie instead of something tied deeply to my childhood like it is for so many. So I do feel really bad for all of you who thought they butchered something you love so much. That’s how I feel about the Hobbit movies. >.> So yeah, I totally get it!
But YES. The Mandalorian is GREAT! Definitely my favorite Star Wars thing that exists right now. 😀
I would be ecstatic of they made a Kingdom Hearts series. I so want more people to be able to experience the story! It needs to happen!
Thanks so much, girl!
I really enjoyed Star Wars so far (still watching through all of the things). But I am not a fan. It just hasn’t really captured my heart like it has with a lot of people.
And I was the same with the sci-fi. I didn’t really like it as a child but got more and more into it as I got older.
OH MY GOODNESS WANDAVISION!!!!!!! Man, I adore this show and I’m dying to watch the next one.
Have you watched Aquaman? I think that one is another decent DC film. I liked Wonder Woman, haven’t watched the second one. (But yeah, Marvel is 100% the best and DC probably can’t bet it ever.)
And I tagged you (a while ago, oops, I forgot to mention it before twice I think), but I noticed you got tagged a lot recently, so no pressure on this one! https://ribbonash.blogspot.com/2021/02/would-you-be-my-wips-themed-tag.html
That makes me feel so much better though! I am the exact same. Like, I enjoy Star Wars for the most part, but I’m not just in awe or 100% attached. I’m glad I’m not the only one though. Most people cannot understand why I’m not obsessed with it. XD
BUT WANDAVISION NOW. YAAASSS. It’s so, so good! We get the next episode tomorrow and I’m SO EXCITED. *dances*
I have watched Aquaman, yes! It was a fun movie. Cheesy…buuut that kind of worked for it. XD I did actually very much enjoy it! Overall though, none of the DC films I’ve seen can even hold a candle to my love for the Marvel films. Poor DC…
OH MY WORD, GIRL. Okay, this is the coolest tag EVER. The amount of creativity in your WIPs is just awe-inspiring. I love all of this so much! THANK YOU FOR TAGGING ME! I’m sorry I didn’t see that you did. I fail so hard at keeping up with everything GAH. But I am so honored to be tagged! <3
Aww, thank you! ^_^ I’m glad you enjoyed reading it! *blushes* Oh my goodness, thank you so much! I don’t know how to express my appreciate for your words. They made my day. <3 <3 <3 You’re welcome! It is totally okay! I am the same. You just have to glance at my email and you can see I am so behind it -_-. I think I just caught up to your blog yesterday. Definitely was behind for a while there.
Okay, this tag is SO much fun. XD
Ahhh Disney VHS tapes! Oh, my. xD *joins you in the old corner* We still have shelves full of VHS movies in our house, and I pull one out from time to time (you know, the ones we don’t have on DVD yet, hehe). But my oh my, are we spoiled now, and I’m reminded of it every time I have to rewind one of those suckers. XD But anyway, YESSS to all those Disney movies! Nowadays my favorite Disney movies are the “big ones” (The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, etc.), but when I was little I would watch ones like The Aristocats and The Rescuers Down Under over and over. I don’t even know why, but I was so obsessed with them. xD
AHH THE MANY ADVENTURES OF WINNIE THE POOH!! I definitely watched that one over and over as a kid, too. (And The Search for Christopher Robin. I don’t know if you’ve ever seen it, but UM HELLO NOSTALGIA.) I had a bunch of Pooh stuff when I was little, too! Multiple stuffed Poohs, a bunch of Pooh clothes… come to think of it, I guess Winnie the Pooh was kind of my “thing” when I was little. (I’m pretty sure my 2nd birthday cake was Winnie the Pooh, hehe!)
It’s TOTALLY OKAY that you’re not a huge Star Wars person, really… *DRAMATIC SIGH* buuuut I’m just gonna walk on by and pretend I didn’t hear you say you prefer the sequels over the prequels… yeahhh… totally didn’t hear that at all. xD Okay, no, The Force Awakens actually IS super fun. And I LOVE Rey, Finn, and Poe! The other movies, though, I just… I just… well… remember what you said about digging a rusty fork into your eye? Ehehe. xD
Don’t feel bad about Star Trek, though, because I haven’t seen any of it either. xD Not even any of the newer movies. I’m sure I would probably enjoy them, it just somehow never happened for me? Maybe someday!
The whole Marvel vs. DC question is honestly so unfair because Marvel has just tooootally outdone DC with their movies. Like… it’s kind of pathetic?? I mean, in all honesty, I haven’t seen any of the recent DC movies, but as much as I like to see things for myself before judging… from what I’ve heard they’re just nooot up to par. (Though my brother said Wonder Woman was good, so I do still want to see that one!) ANYWAY. Basically I’m saying that I feel DC’s superheroes could totally live up to Marvel’s… there just aren’t any movies to do them justice. (No pun intended. ;)) *sigh*
Okay but you REALLY have me wanting to get into Kingdom Hearts??? Not that I have a ton of time to play video games (particularly ones that would probably take years to finish xD). But it just sounds so epic! Maybe someday I’ll give it a try.
WHEW. Apparently fandoms are my favorite topic, too, judging by the way I’ve carried on in this comment. xD It’s just such fun talking about them and revisiting old ones and ahhh. <3 I feel very nostalgic now. xD (And want to rewatch everything that’s been mentioned. Ehehe.)
theonesthatreallymatter.blogspot.com
I had a blast filling in the answers! ^_^
SO YOU UNDERSTAND. Yes! Dealing with VHS tapes was my LIFE. And man, rewinding was suuuch a hassle, wasn’t it? We are so spoiled! Honestly, these days I don’t even want to bother putting a disc in! Even if we OWN a movie on DVD or blu-ray, if it’s not on a streaming service I may be too lazy to watch it. IT’S SO BAD. XD And OOOH. I liked some of the more obscure ones too! The Aristocats was one of my FAVES. But that probably had something to do with my obsession with cats. Not much has changed… XD
ANOTHER POOH FAN!!! Once more, we are twinning! Man, I’ve probably seen The Many Adventures of Winnie-the-Pooh more than any movie on this earth… And it never gets old! Hmmm. I feel like I have seen The Search for Christopher Robin, but I don’t remember it well. The main ones I watched was The Many Adventures of Winnie-the-Pooh and Winnie-the-Pooh and Christmas Too, plus the TV series. The others I only ever saw a time or two.
*COUGH, COUGH, COUGH* Sowwyyyy. I’m trying to like Star Wars properly, I really am! I guess since I didn’t grow up with it, the new movies (and all their problems) just don’t bother me like most people. ‘Tis shameful…
That makes me feel better about Star Trek! Maybe one of these days I’ll give it more of a chance…
I TOTALLY agree about Marvel and DC. DC reallyyyy needs to step up if they want to even hold a candle to Marvel. I haven’t seen all of them either, but from what I have seen and heard just…yeah. It’s not working. I did really like Wonder Woman though, so I do suggest you watch that! (But bwahaha! Your accidental pun was gold. XD)
The Kingdom Hearts games are just SO GOOD. Well…some of them weren’t my favorite, but they’re worth it for the story anyway. Lol. I stubbornly play through every. single. game. whether I like it or not because these characters have stolen my life and won’t give it back. The obsession is REAL. BUT YES. I say they’re 100% worth it! Annnd you could always play some of the games and watch Let’s Plays of others if you don’t want to go through them all. *grins*
I LOVED YOUR COMMENT. You know I could squeal about fandoms allllll day! So thank you for fangirling with me! And now I want to rewatch like ALL the things as well! *flails*
I’m so happy you’ve joined the Studio Ghibli fandom! OMG hanging out with the Doctor would be so amazing. I’m squeeing at the thought of it. XD Also living in the world of Kingdom hearts would be amazing. I mean you could visit so many Disney characters!
I am tooooo!!! 😀 I can already tell these are going to be some go-to comfort films. They’re just so peaceful and happy. I am adoring them!
RIGHT??? That’s the dream right there.
And that is totally true about Kingdom Hearts! It’s like getting to choose ALL the worlds instead of just one. It’s a win-win situation!
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH! <3
Starting with how much you love Winnie the Pooh, because SAME. My grandma had a couple of the old VHSs and my family had a couple more, along with quite a few books, and they were my favorite things. :’) The Tigger Movie and The Piglet Movie, although not quite as classic, are two that are absolutely dear to my heart. And I have soooo many stuffed animals from my childhood too! I can’t bear to get rid of them. XD
Oooh, I got Kiki’s Delivery Service for my birthday last year and still need to watch it! Love that you and your sister watch shows together on Friday nights–that’s exactly what I do with my own sisters, haha! (Right now we’re watching a k-drama rom-com and Stranger Things S3. ;))
‘Twas fun reading your Star Wars thoughts! My brother now owns most of the movies now, and one of these days we’re determined to watch them all. xD
*wants very badly to see WandaVision*
If you find that wardrobe with a looking glass (perhaps with a hole in a tree that leads to the Hundred Acre Wood as well), TAKE ME WITH YOU. *heart eyes*
THANK YOU!!! This was such a fun tag to do! ^_^
D’awww! I love that we were both Pooh fangirls as children. It really is just the sweetest, happiest story in all its forms! <3 And YES TO STUFFED ANIMALS. The obsession was real. Lol.
You did? SO FUN. It is absolutely one of my top, top favorite Ghibli films now. It’s actually kind of like Winnie-the-Pooh in that it’s just so…happy and peaceful. I can already tell it’s going to be a go-to comfort film for me now.
Oh my goodness, you girls do Friday movie nights too? SO PRECIOUS. I love that we all do that! And your choices sound GREAT. One of these days I really have to try some k-dramas!
Oooh yes! And then we can discuss all our shameful Star Wars thoughts together. ;D
I hope you get a chance to see WandaVision! The finale was this past Friday and I’m already having a severe story hangover from it. It was an absolutely fantastic addition to the MCU.
OH YES. This wardrobe/looking glass absolutely needs a hole in a tree to the Hundred Acre Wood as well. BRILLIANCE. AND YOU ARE TOTALLY COMING. Pack your bags!
