sunkellesi asked [personal profile] colls to select three of my interests to talk about like they did, so they chose
1. janelle monae
2. the raven cycle
3. writing
COME ON VAMANOS
1. janelle monae is one of my favorite musicians! i would die for literally any song on dirty computer and i got to see her dirty computer tour, bawled my eyes out, sang until my throat hurt, and there was just this. amazing aura of solidarity and resistance in the air there. WE are the new american dream. you will not take that from us.
"This is not my America
But I tell you today that the devil is a liar
Because it's gon' be my America before it's all over"
2. the raven cycle
this is one of my more recent fandom additions and one hand i really love it. i adore the characters, i think that the dialog is realistic and the books are super engaging. it's also one of my favorite portrayals of teenagers just being teenagers and acting like them that i've ever read.
i would die for henry cheng, blue and her many many moms, gansey, ronan and adam and the lynches are fascinating. the lynches and the elrics actually inspired my nano project this year, but i also have some weird problems with it. it feels a lot less epic and well planned out than i would like. i know that ending is supposed to be symbolic of things not needing to have a higher purpose, yadda yadda, but it just feels incomplete and a little disjointed because the books feel like they're too many conflicting, not totally thought out parts melded together a little carelessly. maybe the dreamer trilogy will fix some of my issues with it.
3. writing has either always been my second biggest hobby or it became my second biggest hobby seven years ago when i started posting regularly to ao3, take your pick. writing fanfiction is a big part of my life. i also am trying to get into the habit of writing more original stuff and love writing meta. writing is just such a good way for me to express myself. i love words and i love stories, so it's perfect.
side note: writing is only behind singing and singing is my biggest hobby and i've been doing it all the time either since i was a toddler or since birth if you believe my grandma's story about me humming as i was born. i take that with about a mine full of salt but it's still a fun story.
