æʃliŋ, loaf of autismo @aescling@cat.family

fur the fourth challenge of #SnowflakeChallenge2024, we have been asked to do an icebreaker of some form

as a start, i looked at the [random question generator] suggested on dreamwidth and was struck by the question:

What's something about you today that the old you would find surprising?

because, like, it’s a lot. i have rejected a very large number of rules i held myself and others to as a kit (i was very judgemental, which has not exactly stopped being true,); kit!me would genuinely be horrified at who i’ve become. which is good, frankly, but lol

to answer the question, i don’t really feel like trying to enumerate the specifics but i’ll if you reply asking fur specifics, i’ll tell you one. we’ll make a game of it i guess

the furst things that come to mind when it comes to what i wish to see in fandom are fics that would help me realize my goals. in that vein, fur #SnowflakeChallenge2024, i have the following (maybe not all) little wishes:

• i would love to see stories (fanfic or not) about lesbians falling in love in ways that are cute
• i really need to do this research myself but i want to find interesting criticism of the sonic movies beyond just what the mainstream press has to say about them. (in purrticular, i am very curious if any of my own (frankly pretty straightfurward!) criticisms have already been made elsewhere)
• as a corollary to the above, i really would like to see a review/analysis/whatever that meaningfully helps explain into what exactly about sonic 2 made so many fans like it so much
