5 Pieces of Fiction Media that Influenced You as a Writer and Why? I don't consume enough fiction to be able to do this so I gotta broaden the scope

I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream by Harlan Ellison Most of the time, the only fiction I enjoyed in school was sci-fi. It's the only thing that remains with me today at least. Harlan Ellison is such a jackass and boy does that show through I Have No Mouth and everything surrounding it: his interviews, the computer game, the guide he wrote to the game that's really just a book version of the short story. Ted is like peak Hibiya in the way that if the reader is blind enough to believe that he's telling the truth, then they aren't getting any of the story. And I just love honestly how angry that story is without being... too whiny? I wouldn't say there's anything subtle about it, but it keeps drawing you forward for sure. Also just how Harlan writes I can relate to a lot. Which is a big one.

The Garden of Earthly Delights by Hieronymus Bosch (painting) I'm not one for art. I just. It's nice. Cool whatever wow I'm so impressed. So seeing this in Madrid I think, after having to go to a billion other art museums and being really tired of it, stumbling on this as a final room to poke our head into is such a pleasant memory I have. Going from feeling very whelmed with my mother, and we're suddenly both like. Man what the fuck am I looking at. I wrote multiple songs about this piece. I bought miniatures inspired by this piece. I would gladly get it tattooed on me when I decide what and where and by whom.

It's such a great level of absurdity that isn't offensive in a jarring "make you think" bullshit way. Maybe it's because when I think of absurdity, I think of films from the 20's. But this painting has more of a through line so like, it still makes sense. So I don't know, something about it gives me a lot of muse.

Dead Kennedies (band) This might be one that also mainly inspires me more as a song writer than an rp'er. But it's again Jello Biafra playing with the skewed perspective of the author, which is apparently how I get my rocks off. You're supposed to hate him. He dawns this mask of a rich prep, or politician, or people you hate but really with a second of introspection you realize that's also you, and he just says the quiet stuff loudly. And musically Dead Kennedies is just fucking spooky with their bassline. So it really inspires keeping that core motivation for Hibi as me, and bringing forward those quiet parts of them that ruin the illusion sometimes.

Fantasia (movie) I can't pick between Gershwin, Tchaikovsky, and Stravinsky, so fuck it. Fantasia is what introduced me to them and that's what matters. I will always love and be inspired by Fantasia/Fantasia 2000. Everyone's got a Disney movie, and that's mine. I can't listen to Rhapsody in Blue without picturing it, or Rite of Spring without seeing the ballet. It just. Fucks me up the way you want classical music to. With writing though, it's the meaning and inspiration behind those pieces and composers that inspire me. They all ride such big waves and are so contrarian to what's expected from them in the music hall. There's just no way I don't also see Hibi falling in love with them and digging that "I'll do what you want, but under my own rules."

Historical/Period dramas None specifically. Just the widest net I can cast here lol. But really, watching any really inspire me to come up with new plots and different ways people around Hibi would act. Which is something I really struggle with, so it's an amazing resource, you know, human history. But it's also like, a really fun lens to put on your muse, and think about them through the eras. Personally, it helps develop them more, and understand the things in their life that make them unique and how they would change if those little things didn't happen. I'm also just such a slut for Titanic.

#this is where i expose my balls on stream for being an edgelord #but thats what makes hibi so fun and unique. is adding those hints of punk in them #less so with hibiya at times. but it becomes this flavor of rebellion thats not just a temper tantrum #ooc;#mun #dash meme #honorable mention: Supertramp

Haven't done a tag game in awhile, thanks for tagging me @hashtag-anthems !

5 fandoms I used to be in

Rainbow Magic

Started reading the books as a 13yo, got really into mimicking the drawing style of the illustrations, and first got into writing fanfic thanks to these fairy gals

Doctor Who

I still keep tabs on the fandom but stopped watching around the time Clara Oswald left, overall I saw the whole reboot up to that point, the movie, and a handful of episodes from 3, 4, 5 and 7's eras

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

I only watched like 5 episodes of this overall but I got really into the deviantart fancomics for awhile

Hamilton

I've been a fan of Lin-Manuel Miranda since he was on PBS Kids back in like 2009 so I kinda had to join this one lol

Teen Titans

Never watched this show until I was nearly 20, spent several months watching the whole thing in between classes and then went back to watch a few more episodes before my depression got too bad to enjoy any fandoms

5 fandoms I am currently in

Gravity Falls

Watched the whole show for the first time back in August and I've been quoting it daily ever since

C-dramas

I started playing a mobile game set in Qing dynasty China that's based off of several TV shows, so I've watched Weiyoung and Yanxi Palace and now I'm working through Ashes of Love

DHMIS

Singlehandedly thanks to @sketchbook-and-tony-adventures

Star Wars

First watched the movies in middle school and I've been on and off with this ever since, but so long as R2-D2 is somewhere I'm into it

Odd Squad

This fandom has consumed more of my time, energy, and friendships than any other fandom *combined*, I haven't watched anything after S2 yet but I'll never truly leave

5 movies I used to watch a lot

Cinderella III

My sister and I used to play it frame-by-frame to try and find the funniest frames, our favorite was when Jaq and Gus flashed the fourth wall with their bare asses

Bright Eyes

A Shirley Temple movie my dad has on videocassette, my other sister was fascinated with the VCR as a 3yo and chose this movie to pop in and out at random intervals, so we all saw it a lot but never in order

Inside Out

My second favorite Pixar movie!

Wall-E

My mom loves this movie so much she bought it on DVD and showed it to every single one of our relatives

Fantasia

This was one of the first movies I ever remember watching and I'm pretty sure it's the reason I studied classical music in college

5 movies I watch a lot

Midsommar

Once in theaters, once in the beginning of lockdown and once with my bf, this movie fascinates me so much

The Incredibles

Never gonna stop watching this one

Napoleon Dynamite

I've lost count of how many friends/partners I've watched this movie with simply because they hadn't seen it yet

The Shop Around the Corner

You know the musical She Loves Me and the movie You've Got Mail? They were both based on this 1938 classic

A Christmas Story

Obvious choice is obvious

5 book series I used to read

Redwall

This was my first real fandom, I was CONSUMED by the books as a preteen. I hear Netflix is making a new TV series so I might have to get into it again...

Septimus Heap

Highly recommend as an alternative to Harry Potter for anyone who hates Joanne as much as or (more than) I do

A Series of Unfortunate Events

I actually tried making myself obsess over this as a fandom but it didn't quite hold my interest the way Redwall did

Percy Jackson and the Olympians

It was hard to choose between this and Hunger Games but I read these books more times through haha

Magic Tree House

This and American Girl were my childhood

5 book series I read now

This is gonna be a stretch because I haven't been doing a whole lot of reading lately, let alone anything in a series

Market of Monsters (aka Not Even Bones)

Started with the webtoon, then binged the whole trilogy when the comic went on hiatus

The Wrath and the Dawn

Started with the webtoon, but I'm refusing to read the novels until they're all published

Collected works of Anya Seton

I've read Katherine, My Theodosia, and Avalon, but my favorite is by far Katherine

William Easley's GF fanfics

Told you this would be a stretch, but honest to God this is all I've been reading during the pandemic since I (still!) can't get to a library, also I love his writing style and the research he puts into his worldbuilding

Aristotle and Dante

Another reach since there's only one book published, but it's my absolute favorite novel and the sequel is set to come out in the fall!!!

Tagging @rainfallinhell , @junipernight , @asexualautistic and anyone else who wants to do this
