Fanvid recs for any fandom. Feel free to recommend some of your own!
I actually do something in my journal called "Fanvid Friday" where I recommend a fanvid (almost) every Friday for various fandoms. None of them mine (I'm not that talented), but it's to shine a light on some of the other incredibly talented people in fandom spaces, and to get those vidders some recognition. You can check them out here.
Music recs! I'd love recs for songs that are important to you for whatever reason, any genre.
My current love at the moment is XG. They are a seven member all-Japanese global girl group that sings entirely in English, does most of their promotion in South Korea, and has recently done their first world tour (and will be appearing in this year's Coachella). I love discovering new songs and artists, and XG grabbed me by the throat and it hasn't yet let up once. Their entire artistic concept are aliens/wolf pack, and their sound is very of the 90s/early 00s rnb/hip-hop/rap/pop scene. I love them. I'm obsessed.
It's hard to choose a few to share, since everything they've put out have been absolute bangers, no skips for me. With that being said, here are some of their songs/music videos: "Shooting Star", "Left Right", "Woke Up", and "Howling".
Shows, films, or story-driven video games that focus on female characters. Bonus points if speculative fiction.
Shows: Orphan Black, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Jessica Jones, Witchblade, Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, Carmilla (webseries). Ones that have an ensemble cast but are very good for female characters include: The Expanse, Battlestar Galactica, Caprica, Dark Matter, Legend of the Seeker. Just to name a few.
Films: Sympathy For Lady Vengeance, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, Tomb Raider (2018), Kamikaze Girls
Video games: Portal / Portal 2, Life Is Strange, Mirror's Edge, Mirror's Edge: Catalyst, Tomb Raider (all the games), The Last Of Us.
This is just on the top of my head. I have a lot of favorite female-centric or heavily women focused stories.
