Snowflake Challenge #12

Hmmm, a 5-and-1 is what I came up with for recs ...

1. Movie Everyone Should See

Galaxy Quest, which is the most loving and fun and successful evocation of the fan experience combined with a thrilling plot ever. Honestly, the opening fan convention sequence doubles as introducing the entire cast as their lovably imperfect selves.

2. YouTube Channel Everyone Should Follow



Nerd of the Rings for expert and fun lowdowns on all Things Tolkien. He's included fabulous fanart, and maps, and insights on each of the characters from the recent Rings of Power TV series on back to the first days of media exploration.

3. Song Everyone Should Hear



This song leads into a show loaded with superb animation, hilarious situations and literally no actual dialogue after the initial song; it's perfect for the international market. I love the grunts, whistles and so forth in each episode.

4. Book Everyone Should Read

The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller. This combines all we love about Greek mythology: the sudden violence, passionate loves and inexorable decrees of the Fates. Truly a poetic read and worth all its acclaim.

5. Website Everyone Should Visit

MyInstantsDAHTKAHM Clicky for superb sound effects, wolves howling, bubbles, many other fun sounds. TW for the clicky because I grew up on Benny Hill. :)

Plus One.

Darker Pain, a fic by moi in the fandom boasting multiple interspecies pairings for the discriminating elite: Penguins of Madagascar. It's also got poetry by a favored poet, Don Blanding. I've an autographed book of his, "The Rest of the Road," and it's a treasure with some illustrations described as being like Erté. I'd add Beardsley as an influence, as well.

I loved The Song of Achilles and really want to read her other one, Circe. Have you read that one?
