I can’t remember if I watched any films this year and that says a lot. Oh, I guess Episode VII, I think I watched that early this year?

I don’t think I read any books this year, but a few fanfics: Ain’t No Grave (CAtWS) and The Things You Never Knew About People (FF7).

Your favourite album or song to listen to this year?

In terms of albums, the Zankyou no Terror soundtrack; Kanno Yoko keeps putting out better and better soundtracks. In terms of songs, Utada Hikaru’s comeback single (!!!) “Nijikan Dake no Vacance”. Can I just gush about the lesbian space romance music video feat. post-apocalyptic Montreal. I think it’s her best music video ever.

Zankyou No Terror's soundtrack is beautifully unique, it's good for focusing, right? Would you recommend YOI for someone with no knowledge of figure skating, aka myself?

(I'd kill for some decent longfic too! It feels like an age since I last came across one that interested me.)

Yeah it's surprisingly good as focus music considering how emotional it can also make me.

YOI actually does a really good job of explaining all of the technical details of figure skating so definitely yes!

(I am desperately trawling through fandoms I am barely in for longfic; I've been reading a lot of Star Wars prequel fics lately and rereading Star Trek reboot fics.)

I'll definitely check it out, thanks for the rec!
