1. Your main fandom of the year? As if there was any doubt, but clearly it’s The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Sure, it wasn’t the best plotted or paced mini series ever, but those fellas looked good and there were enough great character moments to keep me thinking about them.
2. Your favorite film you watched this year? The Suicide Squad and Spider-Man: No Way Home for opposites reasons. I loved how random, violent, and grumpy found family the suicide squad becomes. I loved how Spider-Man is a hero who has always tried to save other, especially the everyday people and the bad-guy goons.
King Shark is just adorable
3. Your favorite book read this year? When We Were Animals is still in the back of my mind.
“Promises are easy to make. [...] They speak of a defined future to which you are required to adhere. They commit you beyond the length of your experience. What they do is take away possibility. Promises are the opposite of hope.”
4. Your favorite album or song to listen to this year? Once I figured it out, my Sam Wilson TFATWS playlist is my most listened to according to Spotify.
5. Your favourite TV show of the year? I really enjoyed Loki like, much more than I ever would have expected. Fandom turned Loki who was a lackluster unmotivated villain into the woobiest and I detest woobies. He was better in Ragnarok but I still didn’t care much. Loki just hit the right combination of fish out of water, redemption arc, and foundfamily friendship. Loki/Mobius has a lot of potential, but the power dynamics of a lot of the fanfic is not my cup of tea.
(Though one of my favorite parts was the behind-the-scenes where Owen Wilson looked pleased that Tom Hiddleston thought he could play Hamlet.)
Please rec anything you liked to me, I would love to read more for them!
I enjoyed this fic: semper idem
6. Your best new fandom discovery of the year? I can’t think of anything that really answers this question? I only wrote Sam/Bucky and Dragon Age.
7. Your biggest fandom disappointment of the year? Well, I didn’t expect much from Black Widow, and we did get Yelena out of it, so I’ll go with Candyman. I’d been very excited and into the trailers, but the movie just didn’t work for me, and it wasn’t what I wanted it to be anyway.
8. Your fandom boyfriend(s) of the year? Pls, I am Sam Wilson monogamous.
(Ug, I had to redownload GIMP, and I can not figure out the updated sharpen tool. Sam's smile is too great.)
9. Your fandom girlfriend(s) of the year? I spent a lot of time back in Mass Effect when the Legendary Edition dropped, and Commander Shepard still means so much to me. She is fantastic, and I love her face, and I love sniping the bad guys.
I Insist You Play Mass Effect as a Woman
10. Your biggest squee moment of the year? I really enjoyed the last season of Brooklyn 99 and I thought they made good decisions for the characters and story given the filming and plot issues they had to deal with.
But also, let’s face facts, and the reveal of Sam’s Captain America uniform in TFATWS was clearly the fandom moment that elicited the biggest reaction from me.
11. The most missed of your old fandoms? I watched the Synder cut of Justice League and really enjoyed it, but it also apparently opened some old Jason Momoa feelings, so I went to poke around SGA. I wanted Ronon Dex/Rodney McKay, but sadly there is not a lot on AO3 and I don’t remember where else I would look from a million years ago when I was in the fandom.
12. The fandom you haven’t tried yet, but want to? IDK? I want to try watching Wheel of Time, Station Eleven, and His Dark Materials at some point, but even if I get through them it doesn’t mean I’ll be fannish about them?
13. Your biggest fan anticipations for the coming year? Sadly there aren’t any Sam projects for 2022 that I know about, so I am VERY excited for video games! Horizon Zero Dawn: Forbidden West drops in February and God of War: Ragnarok at some point. I guess I need to start actually trying to get a PS5 now.
