Shows, films, or story-driven video games that focus on female characters. Bonus points if speculative fiction.

I enjoyed Season 1 of Russian Doll last year. Time loops + Natasha Lyonne = fun.

Films that will give me an existential crisis or rewire my brain or make me come out the other side completely different lol

I felt this, because I also love films like this. Last year, I watched Past Lives and it really got me thinking about friendships and connections and the people we meet throughout our life.

Aftersun gutted me and made me think about the lens through which we see events, though this film comes with trigger warnings, so I wouldn't watch it if you're in a bad headspace.

I will always recommend Her for anyone who wants to think about the meaning of love, the parameters of it etc.

Manchester by the Sea is the saddest movie I have ever watched, such a heartbreaking film about grief. Take very good care of your headspace with this one!

Speculative fiction novellas or short story recs! I prefer if novellas are standalone since I don't have the attention span for anything longer that might exist in the book series it's part of. Femslash is a plus.

I read Two Truths and a Lie by Sarah Pinsker last night and I'm still thinking about it. Honestly, I recommend Sarah Pinsker period. Her stuff is great!
