These are all historical romances, so I’m not sure if they’re quite what you’re looking for: Proper English by K.J. Charles, The Covert Captain by Jeanelle M. Ferreira, and maybe Leather and Lace by Rebel Carter (I haven’t read that one yet).

THIS IS INCREDIBLE

adding a YouTube link so you can see the preview

SO AMAZING

I REALLY need to watch this show at some point

it’s really satisfying on the space opera front, it’s well plotted/written, it looks very pretty

THIS IS ALSO AMAZING

THE GAME OF GOD BROUGHT TO LIFE PLEASE BEHOLD THE WONDER:

from what little I know of it, it sounds like it might be interesting to vid

for @aurumcalendula:

Well. Isn’t this embarrassingly long overdue! 

I think it’s all a matter of preference. I have fond memories of the original Christopher Reeve version of Superman. It’s hard not to be invested in your first superhero story.

Margot Kidder Lois Lane became my Forever Girl, which all awesome women characters have to follow. 

I love how some properties have echoed and called back to the first movie, and even though watching now, through modern sensibilities, I found the first half of the movie a bit of a slog the movie will always hold a special place in my heart. 

Smallville was hard going for me because it took so long for Lois Lane to appear! Chloe was the Lois analogue, and it was fun at first but an analogue can only do so much, and then Erica Durance’s Lois Lane appeared and it was like a breath of fresh air. She was exactly the Lois Lane I pictured! From then I began to watch regularly. Sure, I had my nitpicks and quibbles but Durance’s Lois Lane rose to the ranks to be one of my favorite Lois Lanes, and Smallville's version of the love story between Clark and Lois in Smallville is one of my top favorites! 

For Batman, my favorite movie incarnation remains Michael Keaton’s Batman. The gothic elements worked for me because Tim Burton just leaned into it. 110% Goth. 110% Selina Kyle. 

I think the only other Batman property that matched the Batdren Goth-ness is the TV Gotham. 

Next was Animated!Batman.

This and JLU!Batman was the Batman I grew-up with. I kind of don’t want to revisit in the off chance it won't live up to my childhood memories.

Also, Animated!Batman is who I measure all Batmans by. 

As for Wonder Woman, I am ashamed to say before the movie I’ve never watched a standalone Wonder Woman movie and only saw Diana Prince from the animated!JLU, which was amazing. 

I tried the movie with Nathan Fillion and was so annoyed that I stopped watching. 

And I was too young to watch the live action Wonder Woman, which is sad, I remember watching snippets of re-runs but it was so long ago I don’t know what I thought.

So the award goes to the recent Wonder Woman movie which I love with all my heart! And I’m not all that sad that they pushed the movie back, if it takes more to make a quality Wonder Woman movie, I am all for the delay! 

20. The funniest book you own.

uhhhhhh I guess my Calvin and Hobbes books? Which aren’t even mine, really, they’re my dad’s. I own two of Tom Cox’s cat books (The Good, The Bad, and the Furry and Close Encounters of the Furred Kind) and they’re not exactly laugh-out-loud funny, but they do have a lot of chuckles.

29. Favourite book from your childhood.
