2020 has been a lot.

But then it’s been a tradition, and maybe starting it would give a semblance of normality.

▶️🔘──────── 0:04 Me talking about Yuri on Ice!!!

January 28- from @cocaineismycopilot:  What’s the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen?

Is it wrong is my first instinct is the Always Sunny cast, the Oceans 8 cast, or  the Good Place cast?

January 9- from @chidisglasses What attributes attract you to ships in general?

A strong friendship. That’s always appealed to me more than “love at first sight” and those really romantic traditions. I totally get that all relationships need a friendship basis but they should absolutely be able to hang out with each other to enjoy the other’s company, rather than it always being a date or default thing. 

Feeling calmed and comfortable by the other’s presence is important, too. It can be fun to watch one get nervous and awkward around the other before they’re official, but watching someone feel comfortable and not even have to think about putting on airs, or need to change, is great. 

It’s rare that I become invested in the main not-yet-a-couple that the show kind of banks on for entertainment; generally, if you can suss out the main pairing in the pilot, then I’m not that into it. Not to go against the grain but, I like my ships to be more subtle. I’m weak for the “old married couple” and “we love hanging out together, maybe occasionally hook up, but we’re definitely not dating” tropes.

The love-hate dynamic is fun, too. They should definitely support and believe in the other one. If they enjoy a little competition with each other, is a huge bonus. 

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!
