it’s that time of year again… 🎄🎅🎉🎊 no. the highlights of your 2023 media consumption of course! just like last year, i want to know your top 5 films, books, tv shows, songs/albums, pop culture moments if that’s your thing, and as a bonus: any favourite personal moment/achievement in the last year? new to you, new in release, either works! can’t wait to see your response and wishing you a happy new year! 😁🩷

yay!! i was so excited to receive this in my inbox again this year 💖 overall i feel like i consumed less media than last year? but here's a roundup of some of my favorite things this year:

movies

so most of the movies i really really enjoyed this year didn't actually come out this year lol but i really enjoyed:

skinamarink - i love horror and while this one might be too much of a slowburn for people, it really filled me with dread so yay!

birdman (or the unexpected virtue of ignorance) - i'd been meaning to get around to this one for a while and finally did! totally worth it. the writing and acting: immaculate!

stop making sense - one thing about me is i will enjoy a music doc. the energy in this is so so wonderful. i love david byrne, i love talking heads. left the theatre in a great mood

saltburn - a controversial pick probably. but i had fun! don't really care for the criticisms that it fails at being class critique. it's about being a little pathetic freak and wanting to crawl into someone else's skin for me.

crash (the cronenberg one) - another one i'd been meaning to get around to for a while. i've seen most of cronenberg's stuff and i deeply deeply enjoyed this one. it's about sex, it's about violence, it's about desire, it's about all the weird things the human body can do. i love cronenberg and this one was perfect to me. mwah!

music

crash (charli xcx) - i know, i'm a little late. i listened to this religiously this year. having seen cronenberg's crash this year also added a little extra flavor. obsessed. love it. several songs are on my spotify on repeat as we speak.

this is why (paramore) - ahh so much fun! i love paramore, love getting a new paramore album. the remix album is great too. i also got to see them this year and had a blast! paramore was the first concert i ever went to so getting to see them again is full circle for meee.

desire, i want to turn into you (caroline polachek) - fun!! i do prefer pang but i had fun!

skylight (pinegrove) - sleepy, twangy indie album. i enjoyed! it was soothing this year.

joy as an act of resistance (idles) - the opposite of a sleepy, twangy album! i'm hoping to catch idles in the new year since they're stopping in town :)

not a great tv year for me tbh

succession - succession my beloved! banger of a final season. it will go down in the annals of my favorite tv shows for the rest of all time. kendall roy you will always be famous.

adventure time - revisiting adventure time for the first time in forever. it's fun, it's sweet, i have a soft spot for it. i'm on its final season but have yet to finished because i'm emotionally attached at this point.

video games

baldur's gate - all i've done with my time lately is play baldur's gate. eat, sleep, breathe baldur's gate. i have not touched my sims in months because i have no space but for baldur's gate on my computer. finally got a ps5 and immediately got baldur's gate so that i can finally play it properly because my mac can only barely run it!!! i'm emotionally attached to my little tiefling cleric. i am already fantasizing about my next playthrough.

top me moment!

lol as for personal successes this year: i got a fellowship with a really well-recognized poetry organization in my city that i have so much love for and that truly does so much good work for our community. i have been slowly working my way through the ranks. i started as a mentee last year, taught some poetry classes for them, and this year helped run their month-long festival, and am now working directly with them to help plan their month-long festival for next year. it feels so aligned with the kind of career i'd like to have in my life. next goal is to hopefully lock-in some kind of permanent position with them once my fellowship is over. hopefully i will have good news about that in next years wrap up! thanks again for asking this, i truly get a kick out of it!!

#ahhh i can't help but write an essay #i wish i had consumed more media this year but genuinely felt like i didn't have much i was interested in?#i think potentially the writer's strike and actor's strikes may have had some influence on that #anyway thanks again for asking imo 💖#cheesehair #yearly roundup

Somehow... we made it. Lessons this year: take good care of your wrist and beware of number brainrot.

2022 | 2021 | 2020 | 2019 | 2018

01 | 02 | 03 | 04 05 | 06 | 07 | 08 09 | 10 | 11 | 12

I don't usually put too many thoughts on these posts but I have some for below the cut.

Just a weird weird year for me I won't lie.

If I had to put a word to it, it'd definitely be "transitional."

It's my last year of undergraduate, I will finally have my degree next year and I hope to god a job too. I finally settled in a subdiscipline that will inevitably send me back for a masters but god I need a break. But this last stretch of school was definitely one of the major reasons I didn't draw much this year.

Another big roadblock was the years of wrist abuse caught up to me and I have a long-term injury now. Take breaks and stretch kids. ;w;

And the other roadblock paradoxically was becoming a corpo vtuber fan, now don't get me wrong I've been loving being a fan and it has given me fun new inspiration, but after being a primarily original art artist for so long, I had no clue the mental shitstorm that entering the fanart space would entail. Especially when you mix twitter into it.

I don't want to stop drawing fanart because it's fun and I love to be self-indulgent. But goal for next year is little to no twitter usage and to keep my content selfish.

Art is for me, if other people like it that's cool too. And I should only strive to change my art into things I like, not what others do.

And yeah that's about it. Hard to say if the amount I draw next year will go up or down. We'll see!

And thank you all for your support this year!!

Yearly Roundup Best Books of 2022

5. Pandora

This is the perfect mix of Greek retelling and modern storytelling. It's based on the Pandora myth, but she's not the original Pandora, she just happens to share the name... and have a cursed jar. The story was beautifully told, and delicately magical.

4. Skyward

This is my favourite Brandon Sanderson series so far! I much prefer his sci-fi to his fantasy. I can't wait until the series is finished, I'm dying to know how it turns out. This is one of the most well thought out sci-fi series I've ever read, and every character is so complex.

3. Cemetery Boys

This might be one of the most satisfying books I've ever read. It was sweet and emotional and fun. I was so gripped, and wanted so much for Yadriel to get his happy ever after. I recommend this book to everyone, and I can't wait to read more by the author.

2. Folk of the Air

I'm also sort of including the Modern Faerie Tales in here too, which are set in the same world, but if I had to choose, it would be Folk of the Air. I wasn't really expecting much from The Cruel Prince when I picked it up, but I'm so glad I did. Every character Holly Black writes is absolutely magnetic. Her faeries are simultaneously horrific and captivating.

1. All for the Game

This series is... mind blowing. I still can't believe how much this has taken over my life. I had no idea what I was getting into, and I could not have prepared myself for this. Don't get me wrong, it was horrifying and terrible and violent, but it was also hopeful. I'm in love with every character, and I'm even more in love with Exy. I can't wait to reread this several times in 2023!

And a shout-out to some of the other five star books that didn't quite make this list: The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, Regency Faerie Tales, Firstborn, and The House in the Cerulean Sea

And finally, because I'm a petty bitch, these are the worst books I've read this year: The Atlas Six, Gild, Lore, These Violent Delights, and Violet Made of Thorns.

11, 13, and 25 for the book ask, please 👀

:D !! Yay

(referencing this post)

11. A book that was most out of your comfort zone

I think I would have to say An Absolutely Remarkable Thing by Hank Green. Bear with me, this is not a bad thing.

I didn't actually realize it would be out of my comfort zone until I got a little ways in and my brain was like "??? book? This book? Yes?? Hmmm..."

Again, NOT IN A BAD WAY, but just because the rhythm and structure of the narrative was so different to what I'm used to reading. But it was a great read, I loved it, and I still need to read the sequel hhhhhhhh

13. The funniest book you read this year

That would also be An Absolutely Remarkable Thing!

Runner-up would be Orbiting Jupiter by Gary D. Schmidt. The story itself is not light-hearted, but the narrator has some pretty quippy-kid moments that I enjoyed.

25. Did you discover any new authors?

I did, actually! I got really into Junji Ito. And I had a lot of fun reading Yoru Sumino's books (of I Had That Same Dream Again and I Want to Eat Your Pancreas fame); I read a lot of manga, but somehow not a lot of novelized translations, and they made me realize I really need to do more of that because I've clearly been missing out.

Thanks for the ask!!

looking back // 2023.

in some ways this yearly recap is easier to write because i didn’t set any specific goals at the beginning of the year, and in some ways it’s more difficult without that structure to guide me. but then again, perhaps that’s the metaphor for 2023 — it was a year without a lot of structure, one that saw me floating between homes and neighborhoods for a few months before landing me back on solid…

previous years: 2022, 2021 / list of worst sf/f/horror

the bangers were BANGING this year, I kept mentally readjusting my top 5 list every time I read something good so the honorable mentions are extremely honorable this year. I hope you read anything that sounds good from this list and tell me about it!

top 5:

chain gang all stars by nana kwame adjei-brenyah: when I say that this book is like the hunger games for adults, I’m not making a glib comparison between two books about fighting to the death, I’m saying that I haven’t felt so intensely about a book since I stayed up late to tear through the hunger games and sob about it when I was thirteen. this book is satire as real and devastating as I’ve ever read, with action scenes that feel like they’re being dripped directly into my hindbrain and a unique and believable love story. put it on hold at your library literally RIGHT now.

the actual star by monica byrne: about a post-climate catastrophe utopian society built around a religion started by a teenage girl in 2012 based on mayan traditions, and also about the teenage girl, and also about the maya. this book made me crazy because the future society felt real enough to touch, with its radical openness and collectivity solving problems that exist today but causing new ones that are totally novel and meaty and interesting to dig into. read it if you’re interested in different ways of being.

the spear cuts through water by simon jiménez: really, REALLY good, fresh, original epic fantasy. jimenez picks a few perspectives to stick to but hops fluidly into bystanders’ brains to give you their perspectives, so even background characters feel fleshed-out and no one’s pain is dismissed as a side effect of heroic battles or whatever. highly recommended if you like framing narratives and stories about stories, and like epic fantasy but wish it wasn’t mostly about finding acceptable enemies to slaughter with cool swords

the dispossessed by ursula k. le guin: I love how much this book is about hope as clear-eyed commitment to the boring and difficult work of a brighter and necessary future. sometimes the work of the glorious anarcho-communist revolution is leaving your university post and romantic partner for months at a time to dig irrigation ditches so nobody starves when there’s a drought. read this book for diplomatic conniving, a clash of values between a capitalist planet and its dissident moon, and hope.

imperial radch trilogy and its spinoffs by ann leckie: what if you were built to be a weapon of the empire, a serene sentient battleship with thousands of human bodies all containing your consciousness, and you lost all bodies but one and had to figure out how to be a person, singular and alone? what if you were a 19th century british military officer and you slept for a thousand years into the decline of the empire? what if you were grown in a vat to be a facsimile of human and then told off for eating all your siblings even though eating them was SO interesting? what then. leckie’s prose is incisive and funny, her unreliable narrators are wonderful, and her stories are intimate even though the backdrops are insanely huge. 👍.

honorable mentions:

house of leaves by mark z. danielewski: guys? anyone hearda this one? anyway. Something Is Wrong With This House horror with themes of storytelling and grief. recommending that you slam this book as fast as possible like I did so you can hold all its layers in your head at once.

the lathe of heaven by ursula k le guin: i thought I didn’t like ursula k le guin, and then I read this book, went OH and immediately devoured the hainish cycle. im so sorry miss ursula. this book about a hapless pacific northwesterner whose therapist is making him dream different realities into being is so sharp and sly and funny. themes of choices, ends and means.

he who drowned the world by shelley parker-chan: I liked the prequel to this addition to the radiant emperor duology. I LOVED this book. parker-chan has invented new and exciting modes of fucked-up codependency and im obsessed. historical light-fantasy with themes of ideals vs what it takes to reach them, gender, and regret.

babel by r. f. kuang: found the didacticism of this book annoying, but i really loved the concept of this novel and the way it slowly ratchets up the stakes. this novel is for people who want to smash the fun of the magic school genre against the reality of universities’ complicity in the imperial machine.

piranesi by susannah clarke: im late to this book but it’s such a weird little gem. peaceful yet unsettling. a man takes care of an endless house with an ocean inside it until he realizes the house is stealing his memories. themes of memory and devotion.

hell follows with us by andrew joseph white: I can only read YA these days if it’s a reread or if it’s genuinely good and really really strange. this is that. weird gory fantasy about a trans teen who escapes his militarized post-apocalyptic christian cult and finds himself turning into something Different. my only gripe is that he uses 2023-perfect language to describe transness and I think he should be inventing genders weve never even thought of. such is YA.

some desperate glory by emily tesch: a rolickin’ good space opera time with terrible women <3. a thriller about how the golden child of her isolated human-supremacist space station cult deprograms and the consequences of it. this feels like a grown-up SPOP until the theoretical physics gets involved. big fan

the library of mount char by scott hawkins: this book is harrow the ninth in suburbia until it becomes a more macabre version of the absurdity of the gomens apocalypse. God raises his children, sometimes brutally, to hone their powers in a neighborhood that mysteriously keeps out outsiders. came for the dysfunctional mess of the god-children and now I can never look at a grill the same way

runners up:

bunny by mona awad: books that make you WISH you were in mona awad’s MFA program where she must have been having a terrible time. the weird one out in an MFA program accepts overtures into the unbearable rich-girls’ clique to find out what they’re Up To. themes of aimlessness and the intersection of class with the art world

camp damascus by chuck tingle: have you ever wished that you were simply too autistic to be successfully demonically brainwashed into not having gay thoughts? horror-flavored thriller that was just fun

light from uncommon stars by ryka aoki: this author put a bunch of genres in a blender and came up with something fun and surprisingly cozy. an immortal woman must sell violinists’ souls to the devil in exchange for their fame, or he’ll drag her to damnation instead. there might be aliens and coffeeshop romance involved. definitely a blender.

the fragile threads of power by v. e. schwab: if you haven’t read a darker shade of magic and you like tightly paced high fantasy and historical fantasy elements, political intrigue, and pirates, read that first. if you have, there’s more now! lila bard are you free on thursday when I am free

the library of the dead & our lady of mysterious ailments by t. l. huchu: a teenage girl provides for her family in soft-apocalypse magic edinburgh with a job carrying messages from ghosts to their living relatives. an ongoing mystery series about the intrigues she uncovers among the dead.

severance by ling ma: this books is on the list of media that is the terror to me: it's about an apocalyptic disease that makes people reenact their routines mindlessly until they collapse. intimate apocalypse novel with themes of late capitalist malaise.

ocean’s echo by everina maxwell: i didn't really like winter's orbit because i'm just not a romance guy, but this second novel stands alone and the romance is more insane and less of the entire point of the novel. (also it's between essentially Discworld's Carrot and Moist Von Lipwig, which is. really something.) in the Space Military, a buttoned-up mind controller must pretend to bend a socialite with illegal mind-reading powers to his will. what if fake relationship but the relationship they have to fake is "brain linked master/servant pair."

the murderbot diaries by martha wells: novellas about a misanthropic security android who jailbroke itself in order to watch tv. the name "murderbot" is a joke but it very much did kill people <3 themes of paranoia and outsiderhood, corporate wrongdoing, repentance, and trust

black water sister by zen cho: zen cho is good at any kind of fantasy she writes, including this, her first modern fantasy novel. a closeted lesbian has to move in with her family in malaysia after college in the US, only to discover that her dead grandmother has some unfinished business involving a local goddess and a conniving real estate developer. themes of family, gender, and place.

the way inn by will wiles: a man who’s paid to pretend he’s other people to attend conferences in their place gets trapped in an endless Marriott. has the sharp humor of a colson whitehead corporate satire until it becomes more straightforwardly horror-flavored.

#yearly book roundup #reading tag #my posts #it was a good year for my like. ideological and political development and im so serious that some of these books helped almost as much as #the nonfiction i read #reading about totally different and new ways of structuring society and morality are an antidote against knee-jerk reactionary thinking #like. 'life doesnt work like that' okay but what if we could make life work like that? what would it take? why does life work like THIS now #you know. anyway stream the dispossessed and the actual star especially

yearly roundup 2022!

many things happened this year - I've made good progress in therapy, I've gotten and lost another eyebrow piercing, I got covid, I got a cool leg tattoo, I shaved the side of my head, I've been on some lovely holidays, I went to another wedding, I finally completed a fic I'd been joint authoring for three years, and after several exhausting months miserably searching and applying and interviewing I was FINALLY able to leave my job and start a new one that I really genuinely love!

hope you all have a great new year 💜

So here they are now!#Silly lads #Mostly just speculating about Sterling and my VUX lads' chemistry lol - they have a little bit of chemistry with each other as well #Mostly as friends tho mostly as friends - NEJ is not particularly inclined to be around other similarly sentient species lol #He taps out at plants plants are good for him #He is fascinated by plants communicating with the chemicals they release tho - don't let him near a Supox I don't know what will happen yet #ANYway this is supposed to be about him and Sterling! And KUP and Sterling!#Yeah NEJ doesn't feel particularly strongly about this Captain lol - he's just Some Guy who occasionally brings by plants but also talks #Take the good with the bad and all that lol #KUP is the type that's fun and easy to wind up so Sterling does lol - Captains are silly nuisances this is known #But is it just play or is it something more?? Captain Sterling are you picking on him because you don't know how to express yourself #He /is/ young #I am still labouring under the impression that VUX are generally taller than humans I just think it's Fun #If he's going to be this hom around KUP what the hell is he gonna be like around ZEX #I just think an openly flirty Captain in return would be fun!

1, 3 and 17 for the fic ask game!

Thanks for dropping in! :DDD

Hmmmm, tough call. Going to have to pic @welsharcher's Toothpaste (because it was a request and also), your O Holy Night multichapter, @television-overload's Field of Dreams, or Nan Dibble and @amplifyme's BATB fics. Can't narrow it down more than that, I'm afraid.

Mostly this year's reading mileage was spent on revisiting old paths and favorite resting places. You and the above mentioned and @agent-troi and @melforbes and touchstoneaf and Lapsed_Scholar and @ghostbustermelanieking and @o6666666 and @cecilysass and @settle-down-frohike and @aloysiavirgata and @slippinmickeys @suitablyaggrieved, and @leiascully, and @msrafterdark, and so many more pulled me through 2023~.

3. I think Vaznetti and deslea's (Ao3) Krcyek/Marita fics absolutely worked. (As a sidenote, I really like CherryIce's Ocean Breathes Salty-- because the focus is on Marita's recovery post One Son more so than the two potential romances-- and LuvTheBeez's Equanimity-- though Marita and Krycek were only in it a little bit.)

17. So, so many rereads. Gets me every time.

BUT, in the spirit of 2023 reads, I shall stick to all the fics I reblogged for fictober/Eight Nights of Mulder/Christmas. BUT, in the spirit of more specific fairness, I pick touchstoneaf's on-going Amor Fati (S9 AU) series. She gets the flavor of Mulder and Scully I see on the screen; and with baby Will??? I'm a dead man.

#asks #baronessblixen #2023 fic rec ask game #I love reading (and writing) yearly roundups #and I loved answering these questions! :DDDD
