meme: do you know my canon?

[seriesofbaddecisions]

I don't wanna today! So let's have a meme we haven't done since November 2017.

Ping in with your canon (as specifically as you'd like for giant insane comic, SW and Power Ranger stuff). Then wait for other people to ping in with their canons! If you're familiar with it, tell them! And then, yay, new people to squee with!

Star Wars Rebels

[seriesofbaddecisions]

Found family on a spaceship in a galaxy far, far away!

Re: Star Wars Rebels

[uncertain_dume]

I'M STILL IN MOURNING.

Star Wars legends books

[solo_sword]

Decades of canon that I still miss! Mostly! Did we have to end on Crucible!

Re: Star Wars legends books

[goldfishontherocks]

Yes hi I’m still sad about this but THANK GOD they at least let my girl get some redemption for the character assassination they put her through.

Star Wars new canon

[thatwaslucky]

The new movies and stuff around them!

Re: Star Wars new canon

[wiredweird]

I have seen TFA! And I'm going to watch TLJ very soon, because I got a free month on a streaming thing that has it.

I am very slow to catch up on Star Wars.

Star Wars: The Old Republic

[chirpchirpchirp]

You know, that one MMO that is keeping new Legends content trickling in there by the skin of its teeth.

Re: Star Wars: The Old Republic

[1000yearstoolate]

I've played it a tiny tiny bit.

ParaNorman

[always_someone]

I have a Laika problem and I scratched so many good stop-motion kids off my shortlist before settling on this dork.

Re: ParaNorman

[goldfishontherocks]

It’s been way too long since I’ve watched that movie and I should fix that.

Star Wars Legacy

[notconflicted]

Starring everybody's great grandkids.

Re: Star Wars Legacy

[goldfishontherocks]

I think I fell off of keeping current with the last several months of them, but I have a lot of them!

Steven Universe

[era_two_triangle]

FINALLY giving me new canon again.

... Nothing I can use, but I'll take what I can get and just complain quietly about their awful release schedule otherwise.

Re: Steven Universe

[seriesofbaddecisions]

OKAY SO I went to SDCC and got into the Good Place panel and right before that was Steven Universe, a show I have not seen and know only through FH. And they showed the whole premiere episode, whatever first aired after July of 2018. Let me tell you, as first episodes go, that was not a good one to start with?

Generation X

[furnaceface]

.... I only buy Marvel books when this boy appears in them, now. Oops.

Re: Generation X

[thishouseishaunted]

My childhood!

But yeah, see above, re: not at ALL caught up.

Habitat

[myownface]

Everyone is awful and nobody wins: the stage play.

Re: Habitat

[1000yearstoolate]

I read it! You gave it to me! Sparkle really deserves his current Fandom life (including two shameless boyfriends)

X-Men comics

[throughaphase]

In general! I am very behind but still have a lot of goddamn Thoughts.

Re: X-Men comics

[thishouseishaunted]

Not in a really long time. But it was my first fandom when I was a wee teen!

Final Fantasy VII

[puppy_fair]

... And the ten billion tie-in books, games, movies, and cartoons. I'm gonna get so Jossed AGAIN when they finish the re-make. I'm here for it anyway.

Re: Final Fantasy VII

[hashtag_chocobro]

I am both psyched and terrified about the remake, and I think that's all I'll say.

One Tree Hill

[gobrookeyourself]

The teen soap where a villain got his transplant heart eaten by a dog!

Rick & Morty

[somethingwithturquoise]

"Good news, everyone! We've just signed a contract for 70 new episodes! When will those episodes come out? NOoooooo one knows! Probably 2019. Maybe! Late 2019. Or, you know, also possibly never! Is this a great strategy for an absurdly popular franchise? I love it. It's perfect."

....

At least we have comics? So I apologize to everyone for the impending adventures that will likely require you to read the words "Mr. Poopybutthole" again and again.

Re: Rick & Morty

[built_fjord_tough]

My first experience of R&M was actually back when our studio was testing for it, before the rest of the world got any idea of what it was at all. I saw... a pilot or an animatic or something, and stared in horror for a good long while, and then backed away slowly.

We didn't get the show, either, but I think that's beacuse another studio under-bid us.

SUMMER MAKES ME WANT TO TRY AGAIN.

Mass Effect

[onefootoutthedoor]

Original "rocks fall everyone dies it you make the wrong choices" trilogy variety, or "so many unanswered questions but I'M NOT BITTER" Andromeda edition.

Re: Mass Effect

[seriesofbaddecisions]

I have never seen anything with this but I do remember standing in an IHOP parking lot with you guys and having very strong opinions and telling you to feed your fish, does that count?

Critical Role

[goldfishontherocks]

Nerdy-ass voice actors spend four hours describing what they’re doing, either as a bunch of mostly badass heroes who seem to have some vendetta against children and old people but also no dignity whatsoever, or a collective of inexplicably lovable disaster children who sometimes do heroic stuff and . . . sometimes accidentally beome pirates.

Re: Critical Role

[built_fjord_tough]

It hurts me.

Hurts me so good.

10 Things I Hate About You

[heinous_bitch]

Shakespeare, sorta!

Re: 10 Things I Hate About You

[wiredweird]

Heath Ledger in this is everything. As far as I can remember, because it's been a while.

White Oleander by Janet Fitch

[white_oleander]

Random ass book from the '90s that I've always wanted to read (in part due to the movie casting Alison Lohman; she's Nausicaä!) but never actually did read until about a year ago and knew from about the first paragraph that I'd found my latest and greatest "Awkward Tragic Teenager from an Oprah Book Club book" character.

Re: White Oleander by Janet Fitch

[seriesofbaddecisions]

I read this like 15+ years ago and am learning that I apparently remember a lot of it!

Final Fantasy XV

[hashtag_chocobro]

aka Final Fantasy: Broad Trip.

Re: Final Fantasy XV

[built_fjord_tough]

Still have not played the game! Own it. Have not played it.

... Have watched Kingsglaive and the anime and mostly want to shake Noctis a lot.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine

[died8yearsago]

NOINE-NOINE!!

also, new season, baby!!

also also, the canon that gives me the most anxiety every single day of my life because I don't think I've ever apped from such a well-known and well-liked fandom before and I am literal garbage.

Re: Brooklyn Nine-Nine

[built_fjord_tough]

*cries* I bought cacao nibs yesterday and I blame Terry.

Help.

Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

[in_sidon_we_trust]

I STILL HAVE 101 KOROK SEEDS TO GO, DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME IF YOU ARE A COMPLETIONIST. IT HAS TRAMPLED ALL OVER MY SOUL FOR TWO WHOLE YEARS NOW.

...but it is so, so pretty.

Re: Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

[goldfishontherocks]

I do not own a Switch because I’m not sure where I’d get the time for a third console, but this is the one thing that seriously tempts me to do it.

Okay, this and the prospect of playing Skyrim on the go.

Magic Mike

[newroutines]

Including both OG Magic Mike as well as the decidedly more light-hearted Magic Mike XXL. Strippers and feelings and financial woes, oh my!

Re: Magic Mike

[seriesofbaddecisions]

I am the rare person who actually kinda likes the first movie better.

King's Quest

[special_rabbit]

aka "Everything You Ever Need to Know about Why L.S. is the Way She Is in Nine Games."

side note 1: I still haven't ever beaten KQ III.

side note 2: I still feel the need to rage about the conclusion of the reboot, but I think that just means mostly ignoring large chunks of the final chapters.

Re: King's Quest

[thishouseishaunted]

I played a few of the early ones?

Like, not well mind you. But I'm not much of a video game player.

The 100

[okteiviakom]

Post-apocalyptic drama that involves a lot of politics for something airing on The CW.

Re: The 100

[throughaphase]

I have seen like the first six episodes!

Runaways

[solarhippie]

No, not the TV show. The comics, old and new run alike.

Re: Runaways

[built_fjord_tough]

Considering how much I absolutely love the old comics (spent a long time considering a Chase or Nico app), I'm actually a little ashamed that I never picked up the new ones.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

[not_a_bird]

This show is the worst and I love every stupid, terrible thing about it. See: previous references to literal garbage.

Re: It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

[wiredweird]

I'm still mad that the channel(s) that aired it over here buried it in a graveayard shift timeslot where as few people as possible would watch it.
