Challenge #5

In your own space, create a list of at least three things you'd love to receive, a wishlist of sorts.

1) I'd like to see... episode picture books? anime comics-equivalent? of Star Trek--full script with relevant screenshots of each scene, that I could reread when I can't rewatch saif episodes.
Star Trek fandom being so big so old and so autistic, probably it already exists somewhere, but where?

2) I've been searching with no success for a copy of Yoko Tsuno's album #19, "Rheingold", in its German translation--just this one, I'm not interested in a Sammelband (qu'est-ce que je ferais d'une traduction des "Exilés de Kifa" et j'sais même plus quel est le troisième dedans, je les ai déjà en français et ils ne se passent pas en Allemagne)
if I really can't get a physical copy, then a legible scanned .pdf would do at this point, please?

3) once again I'm begging people to deplatform JKR, and to do so, to drop the Harry Potter fandom, no matter how attached you felt to it in the past.
There's "being an asshole", and there's actively using mega wealth + fame to fund anti-trans bills rooted in bioessentialism and against bodily autonomy that'll have repercussions on other queer people, intersex people, disabled people, and even on the reproductive rights of the women she pretends to want to protect; rerpercussions in other countries too by sad example emboldening fascists wherever.
No engaging in the series. No creating fanworks. Certainly not promoting in on seasonal fannish events.
If you can boycott, say, Gaiman for being a rapist, then also boycott JKR for being a far-right activist, and yes that includes fandom not just twitter. Even your so called trans-friendly fanwork could still be the reason a young fan gets exposed to the fandom, gets into the series, then buys merch and/or buys into her rotten ideas.
So. Please. Stop.

Les chansons étaient très bien interprétées, l'utilisation du décor modulable impressionnante, les danses et les acrobaties époustouflantes. Sans être aussi fan que le reste de ma famille j'ai beaucoup apprécié l'expérience. Et puis on ne va pas se mentir : le vrai bonheur c'est d'avoir vu ma petite sœur vivre sa meilleure vie cet après-midi ♥ apparemment la grande et les petites nièces sont ravies aussi ?

What can I say about The Young Girls from Rochefort that hasn't already been told..? other than, the film was already an impressive musical ; putting it on a theatre scene is incredible too? and for spectacle's sake we'll forgive the creepy vibes of relationships that aged badly?

Challenge #2: Pets of Fandom

Loosely defined! Post about your pets, pets from your canon, anything you want!

Ok I’ll take «pet» not as «animal» but as «darling»
(pour les francophones: pas la traduction «animal familier» mais «chouchou»)

Something I was thinking of in the last weeks;
for all intents & purposes at the moment the character I’m most focused on is Dr Julian Bashir of DS9,
and yet everytime time I see posts or polls on Tumblr about "your blorbo"
(do I have to explain the concept for DW dwellers not familiar with it?)
I keep thinking of Howard McKenzie of LastMan instead.
So I’m torn: who is my Blorbo?

(Even more years ago, my fandom pet wad Cain Fury from FMA. Maybe I should go back to him too.)
