Snowflake (days 11-12) + more WandaVision
RIP Mira Furlan :( (This post made me tear up.)

Catching up on Snowflake:
Challenge #11: In your own space, create a fanwork.
Well, I'd mentioned Hardinge quote icons a couple of days ago as something I wanted to see, and decided to see if I could make a few. Four from Cuckoo Song, one from A Skinfull of Shadows, and three non-fannish hamster icons I've been meaning to make for myself:

Challenge #12: In your own space, resurrect an old meme. Have fun with it! Which is the goofiest meme you can think of? Put on your party hat and be silly!!
Ooh, this is a fun one! I did a bunch of the quizzes linked in the post, and here are a few where the results that were also fun/worth preserving:
Huh! Unexpected/not very accurate, but pleasing! (I was sure I was headed for a Vulcan of some kind, with all my "rational and calm" answers, but I'm glad to get a character from one of my favorite sci-fi properties instead.)
And I got Nicola Tesla on the Which Historical Lunatic Are You? quiz, which, really is the best possible outcome :) (I strongly suspected he was one of the options but was not trying to game for him).
I dug around in my "quiz" tag, but the only one I found that still appeared to be functional and was not fandom specific was the Which Philosopher Are You? (I got Aristotle in 2012)
But actually I've always preferred the Q&A meme format to quizzes, and
jedi_of_urth and I were just talking about those (since both of us went with a meme-based take on the Creat a Challenge challenge), so I'm also going to do the new-to-me meme that I took away from that discussion:
Name me a fandom and I’ll tell you:
Character I love but everyone else hates
Character I hate that everyone else loves
Ship I love that no one else does
Ship I hate that most people love
Episode/plot/moment I love though everyone else hates
Episode/plot/moment I hate that everyone else loves
The thing that bothers me the most but doesn’t seem to bother anyone else
Commonly accepted fanon I don’t understand
Canon or fanon I choose to disregard
Three pieces of headcanon (that make sense to me no matter what anyone says)
For reference, fandoms of note: ASOIAF, AtLA/Korra, Babylon 5, Blake's 7, Buffy (through s6), Chronicles of Amber, Community, Curseworkers, Demon's Lexicon, Discworld, Dragaera/Vlad Taltos, Dresden Files, Farscape (2.5 seasons), Firefly, The Good Place, Harry Potter, Killjoys (first two seasons), Kingkiller Chronicles, Kushiel's Legacy, Lord of the Rings, Machineries of Empire, MCU, Rivers of London, Saga, Sherlock BBC (through s3), Temeraire, Vorkosigan Saga, Warchild, White Collar (through s4), and anything else you know I'm into.

Watched episode 3 of WandaVision, and I don't know that I have a lot new to say, just more of the same. SPOILERS! I do like how everyone's look keeps changing as the show advances through the decades -- I like 70s Wanda with the long hair and the boots, and 70s Geraldine with the natural hair and fish-patterned flares; 70s Vision with the floppy hair was just kind of weird to see. Creepiness has been ramping up, between the townspeople increasingly obviously feeling trapped, Wanda's uncontrolled use of her powers while in labor, the stork that she couldn't magic away, Wanda "resetting" Vision when he started to say that something is wrong. Oh, and while I am not a comics reader, I do know, through fannish osmosis, about Billy and Tommy being Wanda's kids in the comics to recognize the names when they first started coming up. And then of course Geraldine remembers Ultron and gets ejected from the bubble reality or whatever it is Wanda (or whoever is doing this to her) has going around Westview. Presumably we will get more of the actual reality in the next episode, but I hope we don't lose the sitcom format, which I've actually been really enjoying.
