Now Watching… (November TV Shows and Movies Rec List)

Julie and the Phantoms

(Netflix)

Julie Molina has been unable to sing or play music since her mom passed away. When she’s cleaning out her mom’s garage studio a year later, three ghosts suddenly appear. Luke, Alex, and Reggie were members of the band Sunset Curve twenty five years ago, and they died just as they were making a name for themselves. The guys try to figure out an afterlife where people are able to see they when they play music with Julie, and Julie is encouraged inspired by them to keep going with her passion.

This soundtrack is amazing, and you really fall in love with all of the band. Literally cannot stop listening to it.

Enola Holmes and Enola Holmes 2

(Netflix)

Enola is the younger sister of Mycroft and Sherlock Holmes. She has lived and learned from her mother for her whole life until she wakes up to find her missing on the morning of her sixteenth birthday. Running from the boarding school where Mycroft wants to put her, Enola sets out to find her mother in London. Along the way, she meets the young Viscount Tewkesbury, who seems to be embroiled in a plot of his own.

In the second movie, Enola has started her own detective agency. Unfortunately, she’s not getting much business — until a factory match girl asks for help finding her older sister. She quickly realizes that this surface level missing persons case goes much deeper. Meanwhile, her brother Sherlock has a case of his own, and for once he’s having some trouble with it.

It’s hard to write mystery and write it well. The cinematic experience cleverly takes you on a journey along with Enola’s quick thinking and deductions. Enola is headstrong, funny, and resourceful and I love her. Also, for anyone who is a fan, tie-ins to the Arther Conan Doyle series are fun to try and spot.

The Dragon Prince — Season Four: Mystery of Aaravos

(Netflix)

The Dragon Prince series is set in the fantasy world of Xadia, where the the land is split between humans and elves. War breaks out when the humans use dark magic to slay the king of the dragons and destroy his only egg. Years later, in the human kingdom of Katolis, Prince Callum and his younger half brother Ezran find out that the egg has not actually been destroyed. They out on a journey to bring peace, along with a moon shadow elf, Rayla.

There’s a two year gap between the end of season 3 and the beginning of season 4. The characters have grown in that time, both in personality, relationships, and skill. But beware! It seems that the shadowy antagonist has also been growing in power during these past two years…

In this show, you can really connect with the characters on their journeys and see them develop. I love the animation style too. They actually incorporate 3D animation, but take out frames to give it a 2D effect! They seem to have slightly altered it in season four, maybe they didn’t bother with a 2D effect this time? Many characters have changed hairstyles though, and some of them I don’t necessarily agree with…

Story of Yanxi Palace 延禧攻略

(MZTV Exclusive Chinese Drama - YouTube)

Set in the Qing dynasty during Emperor Qianlong’s reign, Wei Yingluo starts working as an embroiderer in the Forbidden City. The real reason she’s there, however, is to find out the truth behind her sister’s murder. With quick wit and a clever tongue, nothing will stop her from getting her just retribution. But with drama in the imperial harem beginning to affect even her, and jealous rivals at every turn, can she still push through?

This has 70 episodes and I’m not even half way through. TBH I was looking forward to a mystery to solve and justice to be served, but I’m honestly a little weary of the constant thorns of antagonists like Gao Ningxin. If this is the tone for all 70 episodes… If you want a more lighthearted Commoner in the Imperial Palace show, I would recommend Delicacies Destiny, which is now on Disney+ and is rather funny.

Ascendance of a Bookworm 本好きの下剋上～司書になるためには手段を選んでいられません～

(Crunchyroll)

When a girl from the modern world wakes up in the body of a frail five year old child living a medical life, her first concern is to ask where all the books are! Upon realizing that books are highly expensive and only for nobility, Myne sets out to create one of her own. She starts improving the life of her family, and her intelligence and new inventions draw the attention of many. Despite the fevers that often affect her body, her ultimate goal is to become a librarian.

This is !! The best isekai I’ve ever watched !!! I’m not usually a huge fan of this genre but I love this series. I love all of Myne’s DIY projects and her obsession with books. It’s actually a Japanese light novel series but the anime does a wonderful job and actually adds to Myne’s characterization a little bit. This is at the top of my list for animes, right up there with Shirayuki.

CHUANG 2020

(WeTV - CHUANG 2021 -YouTube)

This is a competition show from China where 100 talented trainees from Asia compete by singing and dancing to see who will make the cut for the new seven member girl group. 2020 was an amazing lineup!

Some personal favorites from this season are Zhong FeiFei, Curley Gao, Tu Zhiying, Ao Xinyi, Wang Ke, Zhang Yifan, Lin Junyi, and… I will never finish this list, will I? A little hard to find some of the episodes though (Ep 3, looking at you!)

What are your top 5 dramas that you've watched this year? I'm trying to get back into watching them.

HMMM this year?? let's see:

meet yourself - if you're in need of a light, v therapeutic watch, this is the show for you, stars li xian and liu yifei (who are both so so so pretty)

destined - let's just work off the premise that everything bai jingting is in is excellent and go from there. arranged marriage period cdrama, a little like new life begins but nlb is a lot lighter.

till the end of the moon - do......i even talk about this, or can i assume y'all know how unhinged i am over tantai jin already

mysterious lotus casebook - jianghu period cdrama, excellent characters, super fun time

west out of yumen - ni ni + bai yu + desert adventure thriller?? literally what is there not to like. i just finished this last night!!

uhhh shout out also to the blood of youth (would enjoy if you enjoyed mlc), here we meet again (cute romcom i just binged over the weekend), the road to ordinary (this post reminded me i never finished the show because i got too busy, so it's back on my watchlist, the eps i did watch were excellent!), the pledge of allegiance (casefic period cdrama, dragged at times but was overall v interesting), a league of nobleman (also casefic period cdrama; meh about song weilong but everyone else in this was excellent).

wanted to like but never got into, but might be a me problem rather than a problem with the show: road home, under the microscope

i've done rec posts for some of them before, so i've just link those, otherwise i've linked the mdl page so y'all can read about the show before starting!

#asks #Anonymous #tv rec #OH i just defaulted to cdrama but uhhhh i did enjoy the devil judge and also see you in my 19th life as well!!#a lot of the kdramas i watched this year were from my list of shows i wanted to watch last year #i don't think i've watched many new ones but always taking recs if anyone has any!!

📣shadowgast fic rec📣

My friend @fireryn (aka toneofjoy) just posted the first chapter of an amazing new climbing au!

If, like me, you have a special place in your heart for the og climbing au;

if you are a fan of hyperspecific aus where the author really knows what they're talking about;

if you want to read a story that's so cleverly and beautifully written, it feels like you're experiencing it;

if you like your Shadowgast to be a delicious slow burn with plenty of verbal sparring, humour, conflict and heart;

if you like some tender, supportive and sexy Blumendrei...

...then this story is for you!

#not a list this time because i do have only one rec atm but what a rec #i've been saying that this story reminds me of a tv show but actually #it also feels like an indie game #my friend writes beautiful fics ♥#my fic recs #critical role #essek thelyss #shadowgast #caleb widogast #bren aldric ermendrud #blumendrei

2023 Favourites

In no particular order. This is content I've read and watched in 2023, not necessarily content released in 2023.

Books

1. Notorious Sorcerer by Davinia Evans: fantasy with some m/m. The protagonist travels to other planes for alchemical ingredients and ends up having to learn greater workings. I love the Byzantine vibe of the worldbuilding.

2. The Daughters of Izdihar by Hadeer Elsbai: fantasy with some f/f. Two women, a waterweaver and an earthweaver, join a women's rights movement. I love the Egyptian-inspired worldbuilding.

3. Reforged by Seth Haddon: m/m fantasy. This King/Paladin novel has a surprising plot. The magic system is very original as well, I especially like the music part of it.

4. The Buried and the Bound by Rochelle Hassan: urban fantasy with some m/m (YA). The hedgewitch protecting the town teams up with a boy cursed to forget his true love and another one trapped as a bondservant.

5. [Spanish] Lazos de Sangre by LR Jeffers: m/m urban fantasy (erotica). This is a series about werewolves and big cat shifters, usually angsty and hot.

6. [French] Meute by Karine Rennberg: urban fantasy with some m/m + another protagonist is aroace and uses sign language. This is a novel about building your own werewolf pack. I think this is my first time encountering 2nd-person narration in French and it works surprisingly well.

7. Cascade by Rachel A. Rosen: science fantasy with mlm and wlw protagonists + no romance. An ecological disaster has freed magic. In Canada, the Party works with a wizard in order to try and save humanity. I love the intricacies of the plot, which skilfully mixes politics, science and magic.

8. Ocean's Echo by Everina Maxwell: m/m science fiction. Telepathy, my favourite trope, done by one of my fave authors! It was even better than I expected.

9. The Deep Sky by Yume Kitasei: science fiction/murder mystery with several non-binary major characters. 80 people from all around the world embark on a one-way interstellar voyage. As they're all required to get pregnant, they're obviously afab, but several are non-binary, with mentions of a trans man.

10. Forget Me Not by Alyson Derrick: f/f romance (YA). This is a very romantic novel about two girls dating in secret until one gets amnesia. I enjoy this trope a lot.

TV shows

1. Good Omens: fantasy with queer protagonists + some f/f. I love the book and I love the adaptation. Season 2 is original content, but it's faithful to the spirit of the novel.

2. Shadow and Bone: fantasy with some m/m (YA). This successfully mixes the Shadow and Bone trilogy (that I haven't read) and the Six of Crows duology (that I have read and enjoyed).

3. Warrior Nun: fantasy with some f/f. Nuns literally fight against demons.

4. The Power: superpower fiction with some f/f + a trans woman and an intersex man. Teenage girls start developing an electrical superpower, which makes them safer from men.

5. Nü Er Hong: GL wuxia. This c-drama is a quick watch, with 27 episodes of 2 minutes. I love that these short webdramas always have more or less the same actresses.

6. The Devil Judge: dystopia/thriller with BL vibes. This k-drama has a tight plot and fascinating characters. There's a girl in a wheelchair and the rep is well done.

7. Naughty Babe: BL romance/murder (attempt) mystery. This Thai drama is the sequel to Cutie Pie, except that they switched up the main pairing and the secondary pairing. I think it's possible to watch it on its own.

8. Wedding Plan: BL + GL romcom. This Thai drama has mlm-wlw solidarity, which I hope to see more of in the future. There are also cameos from the BL couples from Love in the Air.

9. Oh! My Assistant: BL romcom. This hilarious k-drama is about a het porn webtoon creator and his assistant. Despite this topic, the drama is not explicit.

10. Welcome to the Lesbian Bar: GL contemporary fiction. This k-drama is a quick watch, with 5 episodes of 6 minutes. In each episode, 2 customers come have a drink and chat with the owner.

Movies

1. Barbie: fantasy that is so gender! This was such a big surprise coming from Hollywood.

2. Nimona: fantasy with a protagonist who is a trans/enby allegory + some m/m (YA). I haven't read the graphic novel, so this was more depressing than I expected (it deals a lot with discrimination), but still an excellent movie.

3. Wingwomen (Voleuses in the original French): action movie with a sapphic protagonist + f/f vibes between the other two. I love heist movies all about women.

4. Kill Bok-soon: action movie with some f/f. This Korean movie has interesting cinematography. Note that it's very violent, though.

5. Red, White & Royal Blue: m/m romcom. I love the book and I love the adaptation.

6. Anything's Possible: m/f romance with a trans female protagonist (YA). This is a very positive movie, about love, art and nature.

7. Fanfic: m/m romance with a trans male protagonist (YA). This Polish movie is sometimes dark, sometimes fun.

actually i do think it's funny how few lesbian films i've seen as someone who's been out for over a decade.

like. these are the only Classics TM i can remember watching:

but i'm a cheerleader

blue is the warmest color

loving annabelle

chloe 2009

carol

obvs i did get a TON of rep through tv shows and Certain Webseries and music videos instead but i feel so uncultured. i need to put a list together of the ones i particularly need to see so any recs are welcome lol.

#txt #the uncultured-ness is again bc i didn't have much time after realizing i was gay and wanting to get into these kinds of films #before tumblr purity culture made it problematic to watch the old ones and being poor/ill made it impossible to go to #movie theatres to watch the new ones or have access to streaming sites with the sooooorta current ones #i also didn't get a ton out of most of them since... i couldn't relate to the non age gap ones lol so that's another reason it's such a #short list. easier to get that in fanfic.#though i guess i am lucky for the thing lots of other lesbians seem to hate re: how many of the films we DID have proportionally at #a certain point were so geared for age gaps ;jlkskdfj #it's nice to have but it does kinda get balanced out when there's so much backlash from fellow lesbians who fuckin hate you #anyway recs don't need to be age gap centric but it does help esp if it does not revolve around teenagers generally #i think my issue rly was that instead of watching lesbian films #i'd be lesbian for an actress and just watch all of their stuff instead #and then just stumble onto a lesbian tv show episode they were in in like 1998 #as happened with alex kingston in like 3 different ways

Amazing Spider-Man (2022) #6 (She also is in #5 & #11 but I actually wouldn’t recommend this run and am only including #6 because it has the Peterfel B-day kiss that I thought that art of was cute 😿)

Mary Jane & Black Cat: Dark Web #1-5 (Only #1 & #2 are out atm but I’m including the next three issues for future reference!)

Non-Canon/Not Earth-616

Spider-Man Noir (2009) #1-4 and Spider-Man Noir: Eyes without a Face #1-4 (Obviously I wouldn’t be a Peterfel main if i didn’t suggest SM Noir. My user is literally Earth-90214 I basically have to.)

Marvel’s Spider-Man: The Black Cat Strikes (This one’s actually a tie-in with the Insomniac Spider-Man DLC: the Heist!!)

Spider-Gwen #5, #26, #33 (Black!Felicia is a pretty popular hc and one both me and my mutuals use so a canonical black Fel variant is definitely on my rec list.)

Exiles vol 3 #9 (Another WOC Felicia Hardy and probably one of my favorite Felicia variant suits! She’s not a major character but I like her panels so I’m including this on the list.)

What If…? #4 (1989) (Follows Felicia after Peter dies because of bonding with the symbiote suit.)

What If…? #21 (1989) (What if Peter married Felicia)

Misc Media

Spider-Man: Web of Shadows, Spider-Man: Edge of Time, and Insomnic’s Spider-Man: The Heist/ Silver Linings DLC are all games that have Felicia in them!! I believe that the Spider-Man 2 (2004) game and TASM games from 2012 & 2014 also have Fel in them but I haven’t watched those play throughs so I can’t say for certain how much content there is.

There are some cut scenes from TASM 2 that feature Felicity Jones as Felicia working for Harry Osborn! Unfortunately we never get to see her in costume but she still does a great job and I wish we got her as Fel in TASM 3 🥲

Spider-Man: the Animated Series (1994): s1 eps 2-7 & 10, s2 eps 1-2/6-10, s3 eps 4-6/12-13, s4 eps 2-7, s5 eps 1/7/8-12

Spectacular Spider-Man: s1e10, s2e12

Spider-Man (2017) s1ep4, s2ep1 (I actually can’t stand this show, but its the only adaptation that portrays Felicia’s glowing, cat-like eyes seen in her first appearance so for that, it gets a pass.)

Fanfics

Felicia has a pretty small ao3 tag with <1,500 works, but there are some fantastic fics that I definitely suggest reading (and authors you should definitely follow)!!

@the-cat-and-the-birdie has a Post-NWH Peterfel/PeterMjFel fic that I’ve really been enjoying and is currently ongoing!!

@seek--rest !! Seek’s mostly an mcu/spideychelle writer but has some really fantastic Felicia-centric/Felicia appearance fics up that i definitely suggest.

Both of @traincat’s Insomniac Peterfel fics are great reads that are on my (very short) list of fics i regularly re-read.

@justmattycakes’s Insomniac Peterfel series is another series on my re-read list! 10/10

any fic in @splendidnothings’s peterfelweek ao3 collections/works. Going thru the @peterfelweek blog or tag in general is a great place to find fics and art.

Naturally I have to suggest myself as well 🤭 I just started a new Peterfel series that I’m looking forward to updating soon! It’s a comic au without a solid timeline and is mostly just interconnected oneshots that center domestic Peterfel. I’m also working on a Felicia-centric fic based on a really cool headcanon that @peterbwatsonparker sent me about psychic/medium Felicia that I’m hoping to post in the next few weeks!! I also have a decent amount of headcanons posted on my blog that never made it into full fics, but my most popular ones (and my personal favorites) are my Mutant!Felicia headcanons.

Obviously these are just my personal recs, so I’m definitely missing some stuff, but if you’d like a complete list of Fel’s mainstream comic appearances you can find that here!!

#notice how i didnt include the ultimates #ultimates hate page RAGHHHHHGH 🦅🦅🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸#felicia hardy #black cat #rec list #long post #marvel #comics #peterfel #fanfic #movies #tv shows #video games

guys, found a new show that’s so whumpy from start to finish.

it’s called “the terminal list” on amazon prime. chris pratt and (my husband*wink*) taylor kitsch star in it. pratt plays a traumatized navy SEAL. he gets hurt, angry and betrayed. he suffers from severe ptsd, has been given a untested drug of sorts (?) that caused him to have a terminal illness, suffers from major headaches, passing out, hallucinations, super angsty, grief-stricken, shot at, bleeding out, fugitive on the run, plenty of tears, on the verge of losing his mind, in pain throughout the eight episodes. need i say more?

the plot is weak and predictable but… hear me and rejoice my friends when i say the emotional whump and the physical whump is PLENTY and just *chef’s kiss*.

ngl, i actually thought taylor kitsch was the main character in this because i love him so much (i like pratt but taylor is on another level lol) and the moment i decided to check this show out was when i saw this photo

long hair, bearded, tan, tattooed and looking badass. yeah, i’m writing to you from the bottom of the sea where my bones now rest because i am DECEASED. cause of death: tattooed taylor kitsch. sadly his character has no whump SIGH

so what was i saying… oh yeah the show is good if you ignore the plot lmao and just watch it for the superb action sequences, angsty depressed chris pratt + the delicious whump. give it a watch my friends and enjoy! i’m gonna post some gifs of my fav parts.

#i so wanted taylor’s character to get whumped but this girl doesn’t get what she always wants lol #the terminal list #chris pratt #james reece #whump recs #recs #taylor kitsch deserves to be in more tv shows and movies #chris pratt is really good in this 😉#THE SHOW IS SO DARK LIT IT WAS SO HARD TO WATCH #they need to stop doing this shit tho… i understand they want grim vibes but it was too too dark to see anything #rip to my eyes #and drew starkey was in it too… aka rafe cameron my love #there are many shows similar to this show so it’s nothing new plot wise #enjoyed the whump 🤗💯#can’t do gifsets of every scene because there is whump in all eight episodes lol #btw why do people hate chris pratt? i don’t get it!#it’s same for jeremy renner… what’s the deal?#they both are good actors and i actually enjoy their stuff

Movie/TV show Inspired Recs Part 1

In Any Universe by @sprigsofviolets

Boy Meets Boy. Boys Become Friends. Boys Fall in Love.

The Red White and Royal Blue Heartstopper AU that no one asked for.

The Holiday by @dracowillhearaboutthis

Henry is in no mood to attend his family's holiday gathering this year. So when June Claremont-Diaz asks him via a Home Swap website whether or not his house is free over the holidays, he jumps at the opportunity to escape the country and his family for the holidays.

He did not include Alex into the calculation - June's charming and gorgeous brother who suddenly appears at her doorstep.

Rule Number Nine by @clottedcreamfudge

Henry – in a move that he will find deeply, deeply ironic later on in his life – creates rule number nine when they're six and June has a passing crush on Philip. Given that they are – as previously noted – six years old, this mostly consists of her following him around and asking questions about school, before he gets annoyed enough to shut a door in her face.

"Gross," Henry says firmly, purposely shining a torch into June's eyes inside their blanket fort and making her shriek. "New rule – your best friend's brothers are off-limits."

The Kissing Booth AU nobody asked for, for reasons that should be blindingly obvious.

if you ever wanna find queer movies don't look at lists online just hyperfixate on something featuring an actor who's been acting for a few decades and then go through what movies they've been in you'll usually find a few

#especially if they were acting in the 80s #suprising number of queer movies from the 80s that nobody ever talks about #if anyone has any queer movie recs that arent just some movie thats on every queer movie recs list ever thatd be cool #or tv shows ive gotten in the habit of binge watching shows lately #this is like jokey advice btw #i just hyperfixated on saw and ended up watching a surprising number of queer movies because of it

2022 Favourites

In no particular order. This is content I've read and watched in 2022, not necessarily content released in 2022.

Books

1. A Taste of Gold and Iron by Alexandra Rowland: m/m heroic fantasy + non-binary characters. This was one of my most expected novels of the year and I was fully satisfied with the result. One of the protagonists suffers from severe anxiety.

2. [French] L’Héritage des Rois-Passeurs by Manon Fargetton: portal fantasy with a lesbian protagonist. The French language in the secondary world is different, but I don't know if the author invented the variations or based them on something real.

3. Sword Dance by AJ Demas: m/nb historical fantasy. This trilogy takes place in a fictional world based on Ancient Greece. It's a delightful mix of intrigue and domesticity shenanigans.

4. The Hollow Star Saga by Ashley Shuttleworth: f/f and m/m urban fantasy (YA). This series about the fae also includes a touch of Greek mythology. I care a lot about all the characters.

5. Youngblood by Sasha Laurens: f/f urban fantasy (YA). This is my favourite queer vampire novel. It's an excellent mix of vampire lore, romance and mystery.

6. The Magic Between by Stephanie Hoyt: m/m magical realism. The characters have superpowers, but it's not superhero fiction. It's a fun bi4bi romance.

7. One Verse Multi by Sander Santiago: m/m/m science fiction with a trans male protagonist. This is my favourite read of the year. I loved the science in this story and how the author played with the Mandela effect (false memories shared by many people).

8. Safe and Sound by EM Lindsey: m/m romance. This is a very moving hurt & comfort novel. This author always does a great job with the intersectionality of queerness and disability, deafness and vertigo in this case.

9. If You Still Recognise Me by Cynthia So: f/f romance. This novel is about identity (queer, but also British and Cantonese) and fandom.

10. [Spanish] Anne sin Filtros by Iria Parente and Selene Pascual: f/f/m romance with a trans male protagonist (YA). This novel is also about queerness and fandom. I've read several books by these authors and this is my fave.

TV shows

1. Ancient Detective: murder mystery/wuxia with BL vibes + a non-binary character in the last few episodes. While this c-drama is mostly m/f, I appreciated the queer touches, as well as the complex plot.

2. Legend of Yunze: GL wuxia. This c-drama is a quick watch, with episodes that are only a few minutes long. What's nice is that the f/f is not very censored for a Chinese show.

3. The Lost Tomb/DMBJ franchise: adventure/fantasy with BL vibes. This c-drama franchise kept me busy for a good part of the year and I estimate that I've seen about half of it. It covers a genre that is relatively rare in Western shows.

4. Bulgasal: urban fantasy with a queer-coded villain. Sure, queer-coded villains aren't the best form of representation, but the one in this k-drama is very well-written. The reincarnation plot is fascinating as well.

5. Vampire Academy: urban fantasy with some f/f and some m/m (YA). I loved the movie way back and I'm glad that they've added queer representation to the show, even though it would have been even better if they had made the Lissa/Rose subtext canon.

6. Wednesday: murder mystery/urban fantasy with a probably a-spec protagonist (YA). This is a delightful adaptation of the Addams Family, true to the old movies.

7. Love in the Air: BL romance. This addictive Thai drama is my favourite show of the year. Payu/Rain are my fave couple, they're so playful and loving. For Prapai/Sky, there's a lot of hurt & comfort, which gave me so many feels.

8. Semantic Error: BL romance. This k-drama's protagonist is on the autism spectrum. It's enemies-to-lovers, or rather annoyances-to-lovers.

9. She Makes My Heart Flutter: GL romance. This k-drama is a quick watch. I love that it mostly focuses on sapphic friendships.

10. Heartstopper: m/m romance with some f/f and a trans girl (YA). I love the webcomic and the adaptation is really well done. It's such a sweet story.
