Fandom Snowflake 2021: Challenge #5

[scrubjayspeaks]

Challenge #5: Promote a canon/talk about a part of canon that you love.

I want to promote Janelle Monáe's Dirty Computer emotion picture. (I would embed it here, but it's technically age-restricted and thus unembed-able, but it's all on Youtube.) It's a complete Afrofuturistic sci-fi story in under an hour, with gorgeous cinematography and fantastic music.

Her albums have been an overarching sci-fi story of androids looking for freedom and love, and Dirty Computer is just *chef kiss* such glorious sci-fi indeed. It's also queer and political and pretty. Really, it's just some of the finest speculative fiction to come out lately (it released in 2018), and I want it to have all the fans.

It does have an AO3 tag, which is good because I could read one million words of fic and meta about this. I am deeply invested in the Jane/Zen/Ché OT3, okay? Bisexual, polyamorous android triads ftw!

I've mostly switched over to buying music digitally, except for a few artists. She's one I always buy the physical CDs for, because the liner notes invariably have cool world details sprinkled in them somehow.
