5 Movies, 4 Songs, 3 Essentials, 2 Books, 1 Quote
Thank you for tagging me @magpiefngrl and @signifiquint! Because it's late and I'm sure I'm going to forget stuff, I've mixed my eternal favorites and current/recent things I loved in these lists 💚
Spirited Away: my love for Miyasaki movies knows no bounds, but this one stands out
Some Like It Hot: some aspects of it may not have aged well, but teenage me fell in love with the comedy, the romance, the music, the joyful queerness of it all
Legally Blonde: so intelligent, so quotable. I wrote an entire fic based on one of its scenes
Kill Bill: younger me was obsessed with that movie and Uma Thurman. I don't like most Tarrantino movies, but this one is a winner
When Harry Met Sally: the ULTIMATE romantic comedy. Sweet, smart, snarky, that movie is ultimate #romcomgoals. I rewatch it at least once a year (and my first Drarry fic was inspired by it)
Paranoid Android by Radiohead: I'm a huge fan of most of Radiohead's music. I've loved OK Computer since it came out, so this is if I had to pick one song
Blank Space by Taylor Swift: I was obsessed with that song when it came out. Generally speaking, I'd like to thank TS's entire discography for being writing prompt GOLD
Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien by Edith Piaf: ah, such a wonderful, honest, heartfelt song. Piaf's interpretation of it is amazing. It's a song about love but also coming to terms with one's past and moving on to a brighter future (and it's featured in this fic!)
You Know I'm No Good, by Amy Winehouse: I love this song (and the whole album) so much. In this house we miss Amy every day.
Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides: a gorgeous, sprawling Greek-American saga told from the perspective of a queer, intersex MC. Unforgettable.
Station Eleven by Emily St John Mandel: only Ms Mandel can make the apocalypse achingly poetic.
“He showed me his scars, and in return he let me pretend that I had none.” Circe by Madeline Miller
I took my sweet little time with these lists, so I think most of you have been tagged by now, but if you haven't yet, consider yourself tagged!
