Challenge #3
In your own space, Scream Into the Void. Get it all out. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
I know Snowflake is sunshine and rainbows and singing from the rooftops all the lovely and brilliant that is being in a fandom. But, let’s be honest. Sometimes--like with other things--there are sucky parts, heartbreak parts and just plain UGH parts. Rather than holding onto those slights and resentments, or burying them and pretending they don’t exist, just to have them slowly and almost imperceptibly seep into the rest of the challenges this month, why don’t we just let it all out?
For those of us who celebrate Festivus for the rest of us, this will be familiar. We call it “Airing of Grievances” and it is actually very satisfying, whether you do it tongue in cheek, get introspective or just literally scream.
Ugh. I'm fed up of ugly, dark, mean stories where everything is horrible all the time. Give me some hope, damnit. Give me some wonder and beauty and kindness. I'm starving for good things and yet every new series seems grittier and grimier than the last.
Likewise the real world. Give me some hope, please. Currently everything feels like bleeding to death slowly. How about some good news for once?

This. *hugs* Hurt/comfort might be my favourite genre, but I don't like if if there isn't hope and kindness, and it's even better with beauty and wonder. I find myself currently more or less only rewatching and rereading old favourites as nothing of the new stuff appeals, or watching nature documentaries - but even with these I prefer older ones, as most of the more recent ones feel so "clickbaity" in how they are made, if that makes any sense.
*hugs*

I really wanted to watch that new dinosaur documentary! But sadly that one's only on Apple TV. Maybe it will leak out and onto Youtube one day and I'll watch it then. At least there is Good Omens 2 to look forward to, and I'm starting to enjoy Amazon's Rings of Power now I've persuaded myself to think of it as somewhat derivative original fantasy with nothing to do with Tolkien. But even that seems like it's allergic to the idea that sometimes wonderful, beautiful, spiritual things happen. All the numinous things that happen in it seem to be bad.
Hugs back
