Day 11

Share a book/song/movie/tv show/fanwork/etc that changed your life.

A TV show that changed my life? Probably Sailor Moon. Being an outcast in school, I was often OFTEN teased for liking nerdy things like Star Trek and comics and not being into girly things like cooking and boys. I also struggled with my sexuality during my teen years, and felt there was something wrong with me that not only was I attracted to men and women, it didn't matter to me if the attraction was man or woman, it was the person that mattered. Still, in a small tiny farming town, that was taboo. I saw Sailor Moon on Toonami and felt empowered. They were regular teens but had powers. They all had individual personalities and quirks. Sailor Moon was my obsession, and it helped me embrace who I was and who I was becoming. It'll always be special to me.

Day 12

In your own space, create a fanwork. Make a podfic, an icon, a sketch, a meta, or a rec list. Arts and crafts. Cross stitch. Draft an essay about a particular medium. Put together a picspam or a fanmix. Write a review of book you love, a ship manifesto, a you-should-be-listening-to-this-band essay. Create something.

I wanted to try my new copic markers so I did an angsty Rey and Kylo Ren doodle from Star Wars. Sorry for the crappy photo. Done in Markers.

Sailor Moon was so important to me when I was young, too. Girls could be heroes? Girls could actually be friends and be supportive of each other in spite of their differences? Girls who were too tall/flaky/aloof/nerdy/masculine/feminine/whatever were still worthy of love?

I think it will always be one of those series that's close to my heart, too.
