So I’m so far behind for Snowflake so I’m gonna try and catch up on a few now (who knows how many I’ll do)
For snowflake people, hi welcome in! I only did the first 2 challenges cause I fell on the ice (hurting both my hands), then I got distracted by a Lego project (the Stranger Things Creel House), the. I got hit by low energy/bad brain which sucked.
But anyway!
Challenge #4: Rec The Contents Of Your Last Page
Any website that you like, be it fanfiction, art, social media, or something a bit more eccentric!As a Bernal site, I find myself lost on
tv tropes often. I usually go on there after watching something and then end up getting sidetracked by stuff.
This is the latest fic im fixated on and hoping gets another part soon. It’s a Strnager Things fic set post season 5 about Dustin and Steve adventuring, breaking into old research sites and… Something goes wrong. I think you can guess what from the tags.
If you’re a fan of Japanese horror and found footage stuff there is
Fake Documentary q. I’m not even half way through them yet, but I really love the vibes they’ve got going on. It makes me think of Noroi: The Curse. (Hopefully I’ll watch more tonight)
[Redacted] is my current podcast I’m listening to. It’s about a group of people who are investigating a variety of supernatural things or a secretive agency. Think The X-Files or Torchwood. I’m really loving it so far.
I end with
this article which isn’t fandom related at all but is interesting. It came up in my uni studies and it’s a fossil that’s been found of a snake, which includes the remains of lizard in its stomach, which also includes a beetle in its one.
Challenge #5
In your own space, create a list of at least three things you'd love to receive, a wishlist of sorts. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it and include a link to your wishlist if you feel comfortable doing so. So this led me to finally doing an updated
fic wants post I don’t expect people to do anything for it though, it’s just given me the incentive to do it. (Though if anyone wants to or has recs based on them feel free!)
However! There’s other things I feel that snowflake people can help with, that I’d be eternally grateful for.
First, I’m looking for the new Strnager Things stickers. I’ve not been able to find them anywhere, only managing to find the sticker album once. I just need places that have them to check (I know the panini site has added the big boxes last week, but I know there’s packs and sets that come with cards and I wanna at least know what they are).
Second, two specific things. I’m looking for two films which I can’t seem to find. The first is National Anthem which is a film I wanna see cause it has Charlie Plummer in it, yet I can’t find it anywhere. So if anyone knows where it is to watch in the uk let me know. (I’m trying to watch some of The Long Walk actors filmography and it’s hard to find his stuff in general, so if anyone has his other stuff too)
Same thing again for As You Are, which has Charlie Heaton kissing a guy (which is why I wanna see). The trouble is it’s title makes it hard to search for which is so annoying.
Lastly general horror recs of the following:
*Underwater horror films (ideally not shark centric)
*Plant based horror films (I recently watched the Doctor Who ep The Seeds Of Doom and now have an urge)
*Anything with haunted technology, especially if it’s retro tech (think stuff like The Ring/Ring)
*Any space based sci-fi horror
I’ll take films, shows or games for any of those.
Those are the main things that have come to mind (at least since I saw the post with the challenge!)
I’m gonna have a think on what I can do for 6 (the top 10 challenge) so if anyone is curious about top 10 things they’d wanna know from me feel free to let me know. Challenge 9 is kinda covered in the fic wants post but I might have a ponder and expand on it.
So I’m gonna end with this one.
Challenge #8
Talk about your creative process.
Post your answer to today’s challenge in your own space and leave a comment in this post saying you did it.Creativity vibes lately have been so off.
But usually I’ll get an idea, sometimes it came from a vague thought, something I’ve watched or a prompt. I have a discord where I note vague ideas down, just in case they lead to anything else (along with links to stuff).
Then I open a document, do the usual thing I do when I post here (pairing, rating, warnings, notes) and then I note down The vague idea so I can rememebr if I have to come back to it, then I save it usually as a random thing but so I can remember (usually pairing and whatever concept/kink it’s about. Then I try and work on it, sometimes I get a good burst in and do a lot paragraphs in, sometimes just a few, sometimes just a few lines. (Especially when my brain gets ideas when I’m tired which is annoying). And then it’s a dice roll if it actually gets worked on or added to the pile of WIPs (usually depending on outside sources like mental health or other irl stuff or just getting sidetracked).
Now I’m gonna bundle up, watch Good Ship Murder, then the Pokémon stream and maybe fic or go on Dead By Daylight (yipeee new Stranger Things stuff in it!) but I might get sidetracked.
