2019 in Fandom
Your main fandom of the year?
I haven't really had one. Not since Game of Thrones limped to its deeply unsatisfying conclusion at any rate. That's probably part of the reason (along with brain weasels and pesky real life stuff) that I haven't been around much.
Your favourite film you watched this year?
I think my favourite film was the one I went to see last New Year's Day: The Favourite.
Aside from that, I was delighted that Captain Marvel made all the money in the world. Rocketman gets an honourable mention. And Avengers: Endgame and The Rise of Skywalker were both films that I...saw.
Your favourite book read this year?
I read very little this year (brain weasels, rl, etc.) but I frickin' loved The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon.
Your favourite album or song to listen to this year?
According to Spotify my most listened to song was What's Up Danger. I listened to the Into The Spider-Verse soundtrack a lot. Like, A Lot.
Your favourite video game of the year?
Just by sheer number of hours played it's probably Borderlands 3. Look, sometimes I just want to mindlessly shoot dudes in the face. I'm not proud of this.
Your favourite TV show of the year?
2019 was the year I dropped a lot of shows. I never watched the last season of Elementary because I felt like the season six finale had been entirely satisfying. I stopped keeping up with Legends of Tomorrow because for whatever reason the introduction of magic just didn't work for me in the way that the time travel hijinks had.
Your best new fandom discovery of the year?
That said, in an effort not to be inadvertently reminded of the existence of Boris Johnson I have been trying a lot of new shows on streaming over the last few weeks. Particular highlights have been The Expanse, The Witcher, and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.
Your biggest fandom disappointment of the year?
"Who has a better story than Bran the Broken?"
I DON'T KNOW, TYRION. HOW ABOUT LITERALLY ANYONE ELSE.
Ahem.
Your fandom boyfriend of the year?
Amos Burton.
Your fandom girlfriend of the year?
Sadie Adler.
I know Rockstar doesn't do single player dlc anymore since GTA online made all the money in the world, but what I wouldn't have given for a Mrs. Sadie Adler, bounty hunter expansion.
Your biggest squee moment of the year?
Every time Chrisjen Avasarala said fuck.
The most missed of your old fandoms?
Er...
The fandom you haven't tried yet, but want to?
I want to read the book series The Expanse is based on. After having enjoyed the show I want to give playing The Witcher III another go, see if I can't get into it this time.
Your biggest fan anticipations for the coming year?
Picard - they got me with Seven of Nine.
Wonder Woman 84, Black Widow, and Birds of Prey. Okay, I'm only properly excited about one out of those three (WW) but I'm getting a kick out of feeling like I'm the target audience for mainstream superhero movies.
