Hi!!! I would really like to know what are your favorite movies and songs? ^^
Hi!!!
Nice question, and quite tricky (at least the part about my favourite songs) because I have a LOT (Which is partly because I grew up in a multilingual household and I don't have a fixed language for music).
That said Films:
"Missing" starring Jack Lemmon, has the very rare hability to make you understand extremely horryfying events without ever becoming a splatter. It was an extremely brave film when it came out, because it specifically and explicitly talked about the USA involvement in Pinochet's golpe.
"The treasure planet" one of my favourite childhood films, and one of the very few I didn't have to wrestle agaist my siblings to watch. " I am still here" slaps too, which I guess is only a bonus.
"Brokeback mountain" because it's the only film that makes me cry every single time I watch it, and sometimes I just really really need to cry.
"Requiem for a dream" , because I was an angsty teen and I LOVED this film, and I honestly love it still.
And Songs:
"A little bit off" (five finger death punch) and "lonely" (palaye royale (I am honestly quite fond of their whole discography, I went to see them twice)) are in this list both because they are wonderful songs and because they represent something deeply personal and impactuful in my life: my depression. They both came out in 2020 and, while they aren't "easy" songs, they helped me immensely because, while "a little bit off" made me feel less alone, "lonely" made me understand that, even if I couldn't really see it, I WAS feeling better, because I did see myself in its lyrics, but it wasn't the present me, but the past one. On this line of thinking, also "Formidable" (stromae) and "Jester" (Badflower) are some of my faves.
Murubutu like everything this man wrote. I would give him head. I would snort with him. I would crack his head open just to understand HOW he manages to write as he does. Anyways, some personal favourites are : "Scirocco", "Markus e Ewa", "La musa insolente" and "Ulisse" but honestly his whole discography is spectacular and it only gets better as the years go by.
A classic "Work song" (Hozier) loved it since 2015, it's technically also my and my partner's song.
"Fullen", because a witchly rave in the woods is always a good idea.
"Empty wallets" (5sos) idk, there is something about the mundanity of this love song that I really like. I also have "Teeth" among my favoutites ever since I first heard it.
"Providence" (poor man's poison). Idk how to describe this one. I love this one.
"La pesc gnará" which I am pretty sure I only love because it's one of the very few songs actually written in my first language.
"Tous les mêmes" (Stromae) which has quite sad lyrics and yet is extremely fun to sing.
Now the REAL classics
"People are strange", "love me two times", "the crystal ship", "peace frog" and "When the music's over" all by the Doors, because you don't forget your first love.
So those were my favourite movies and (a lot of) my favourite songs (I tried cutting their numbers a bit, but honestly this was the best I could do)
anyone else start getting shaky when someone gets into an interest of yours or is that just me
Me, writing a very serious story about Batman's family.
Also me, adding a whole paragraph with Hal Jordan discovering that Batman's daughter (Female!Dick, and the only child of his the league knows about because he too was young and naive, once) is a cheerleader, cheer captain even, in which he talks about Bring It On and Mean girls and teenager dictators, while Batman broods (supposedly) because his daughter had the *audacity* to be preppy and "no daughter of mine will be preppy in this goth household, go change back from that cheer uniform, here is your everything-black and your white foundation sweetie."

Me, literally giving a character my (very minor) disability in a fanfic I am writing.
Some person on Ao3:" don't talk about things you don't know, girls aren't colorblind".
(Just in much less civil therms, thus I cancelled it).
First of all we are in the DC comic universe, people come back to life every other day, and you are telling me girls can't be color blind.
Second of all, girls can be colorblind or have various types of color deficency, you can trust me and my Tritanopia

Me, ugly crying on a fanart because it fits perfectly one of my fanfic even if it is just a coincidence.
(The fanart is objectively stunning tho)
TOApril Day 17 - Lamentations of Broken Fathers
I'm not comfortable enough with dramatic lighting to be able to say that this is my best work but oh well
"Who's under the shroud?" you may ask. Well if you reject the bounds of PJO's timeline and use enough imagination it could be literally any of Apollo's children :))))
Are you frustrated you can't leave second kudos on AO3? or third kudos? or whatever-who's-counting kudos?
Well, have I got the html for you!
Plop any of these in a comment (by copy&pasting the code) to make an author's day and show your appreciation!

It will look something like this (and will be transparent with white outline on dark backgrounds):
Feel free to spread and use these as much as you like! (and if you have ideas for other variations, let me know ✌️)
I actually wrote a fanfic centered around cabin 7, in which one of the main characters is Lee Fletcher. I already made a post about it, because the fanfic itself spawned from a tumblr prompt whose author I can't find (the post was on Pinterest and it was cropped).
The fanfic is called "Cabin seven's tango" and it is on Ao3, here is its link!
ALSO ALSO
THERE SHOULD BE MORE FANFICS ABOUT THE SILLY BACKGROUND CHARACTERS
CASTOR, POLLUX, LEE FLETCHER, MICHEAL YEW, ETC ETC!!!!
please
Would you like for me to add a Lian's pov for the "I would (only) be your girl" section of "In another life"? I kinda started writing down ideas in an accident and the idea stuck.
Me, in mourning because one of my favourite fanfics has been deleted.
Also me, trying to remember if I downloaded said fanfic.
So, I guess, your reminder to download your faves
