Fandom Snowflake 2024 Challenge #5

[scrubjayspeaks]

Search in your current space, whether brick-and-mortar or digital. Post a picture (a link to a picture will be fine!) or description of something that is or represents:

1. Something your favorite character would like
Eddie would, I hope, approve of my in-progress battle jacket, though he would probably say it needs more band patches.

2. Something that makes you laugh
One of the people in my D&D group works in a cheese shop, which always makes me think of the Monty Python sketch.

Watch on YouTube

3. A fandom place you would like to visit
Well, Hawkins sure as hell ain't it! Better shift fandoms and say: the Shire! Food and gardening and rolling, grassy hills.

4. A fandom creator (pro or not) you'd like to meet
Hm, never meet your heroes, right? Though I have enjoyed meeting other fic writers in person, it just never occurs to me as something I could do. As a substitute, I'll give a shout-out to a couple of creators--I'm about to frame and hang a print by arstyrannus for Oonionchiver's fic You're Divine.

5. Something you find comforting
Lately, I've repeatedly rewatched Labyrinth. It's not even something I saw until I was older, so it's not really a childhood nostalgia thing. I just find it very soothing. I even bought one of the art books for it, which is at my bedside. I'm a sucker for Froud's sort of fairies.

6. Something from a favorite TV series or movie from your childhood
The game I'm playing lately (Garden Galaxy) has a cute little acorn sprite. And whenever I see acorns, I think of the magic acorns in Willow. I used to constantly have pockets full of gathered acorns as a kid. Very good projectiles, whether they turn things into stone or not.

7. A piece of clothing you love
This tee is now my official D&D night uniform.

8. A book or song with a color in the title
"Battling the Green Death" from the How to Train Your Dragon soundtrack--let me tell you, nothing makes the work day more interesting than listening to epic movie soundtracks whilst doing my little routines.

9. Something only someone in your fandom would understand
I ❤ 💅🏻🦇

The Shire would be fun to visit. I'm about ready for second tea right now myself...

And there is an energy in meeting with other creators... although if I met someone truly famous, I would likely stutter like a kid... although one person suggested to start with the weather and hope the other person is comfortable enough to take pity on you! ::grin::

HurraH for D&D friends, too.

Lovely list! Thank you for sharing!

>>hope the other person is comfortable enough to take pity on you!<<

Jeez, that's, like, my entire social strategy in a nutshell. :D

When I was on the meat market (aka on dating apps) I usually ticked my ethnicity as a hobbit. Short, fat, lover of tea and second and third breakfasts. One of these days I'll have enough money to spend a week (or three) in the Hobbiton hotel.

Ahaha, that's amazing--I had no idea that was an option.
