This Page Is A Work In Progress
I have some ideas for how I would like this page to be layed out, but I'm limited by time and coding ability. For now I am working on the content.
Here I am putting media I like - a little catalogue of my favorite things. I haven't worked out precisely what will go here, so this page may change. If you see something you want to keep track of, be sure to save it somewhere.
Some stuff I like, so you can decide if you want to look further:
If any of this sounds good to you, I encourage you to poke around. If it turns out we like the same kinds of things, or if you read (or watch) something because I recommended it here, shoot me an email! Likewise if you have a recommendation. I always want to talk about books.
Higgledy-piggledy
unparliamentary
green parrots quarrel
outside in the trees
Squawking out epithets
uncomplimentary
Squads of unmannerly
Oversized peas.
(Werewolf Fridge Poem)
Nicky Flowers is on neocities: 
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.
House Proud // Astolat
for making me gay, somehow, even though I already was. Literally re-shaped me as a person.
Captain My Own Soul // Copperbadge
for introducing me to Whiskey in the Jar and Invictus
The Secret Language of Plants // Endrina
Endrina's work has a quality that is difficult to describe, but I haven't quite found elsewhere. Not only is the work kind, empathetic, and hopeful, but it makes me feel better about the world. It makes me feel better able to handle the bad things life has to throw at me. Endrina's fic also shines a glaring light on so many of the unkindnesses of the Harry Potter canon by sheer contrast.
The Bolthole // Aideomai, Tepre
For being raw in a way fiction rarely is, and helping me understand some things
Tissue of Silver // fearlessdiva
For plot and worldbuilding well above the norm. Also the epilogue fic Seeing The Light made me laugh a lot
Far From The Tree // aideomai
I fell in love with these characters completely apart from their canon counterparts or those in any other fic. Where is the fanfic for this fic? I need more of them. I can't stop thinking about it.
Grounds For Divorce // Tepre
A rare story I will recomend foremost on the basis of good romance. The whole section in egypt is like poetry to me, and its because the buildup is so strong.
La Regle Du Jeu (The Rules of The Game), Jean Renoir, 1939
A social satire "comedy of manners" about a group of wealthy people and their servants at a country manor. Everyone is cheating on everyone with everyone else. A bit of slapstick - fights and chasing around the house. The film includes many deep focus shots, with action happening in the foreground, midground, and background, or with characters moving through the space. Often the humor comes from contrast between the action in the foreground, and action in the background.
Its a silly movie.
Warnings: There are rabbits shot on screen during the hunting scene. Some birds as well I think, but closeups of the rabbits. There are also a bunch of dated racist references and statements - it isn't a focus of the story at all, but they do just throw things out there a few times and its a bit shocking. The callousness of the wealthy is a theme throughout, so its difficult for me to say as a modern viewer if this was intended to make the characters seem extra ridiculous and unrelatable - or if that's an additional layer added by time. I should also say it can be a little difficult to tell the characters apart with the poor quality of this version, which may be an issue for some people. I was able to follow, but your mileage may vary.
