girlofpreyI'm doing really well for fandoms right now.
Despite what I said about Daredevil before - I think I found the finale quite anticlimactic, and a bit of a letdown given that they spent so long dealing with the characters' murky morality throughout the season, then at the end they were just 'haha, now he will be a straight-up comic book villain! And HE will be a straight-up hero!'. But there was a lot about the series I really liked, and I did sort of ship Matt and Fisk. I'm a sucker for heroes and villains who are more similar than they'd like to admit. Also I found the kinkmeme, with a few prompts and fills for Matt/Fisk. I'M REALLY ENJOYING THE PORN. I'm a little concerned that Matt's (bullshit) new suit means he'll take less damage less season, so we won't get to see him all beat-up and bloody so often, which was a lot of what was enjoyable about him. But I did still like it, and will probably watch the next season, and I'm enjoying Matt/Fisk as a pairing.
I also went to the cinema and saw Mad Max: Fury Road. I'm basically going to do that thing that's probably really annoying by now, and say everything you've heard is true, it's amazing, go see it. AND GIVE NO OTHER DETAILS THAN THAT. There really are no other details, though - it's great, and full of awesome women, and awesome action, and you kind of just have to experience it. Nux/Max ended up being the only pairing I was really interested in. HE WAS HIS BLOOD-BAG. And clearly very shiny when you let him fight and didn't just tie him to the front of a car. It's a little bit sad, given that the ultimate message of the film was that 'people aren't things', that I enjoyed seeing Max tied up, gagged and being tattooed so much. But there you go. It's hella, go see it.
And I was feeling a little bad, because they're both media that have tried and succeeded, separately, at doing het relationships and female characters quite well, and I ended up just slashing two white guys. But! I am also playing Infamous: Second Son. I sort of promised myself I wouldn't buy any more of the Infamous series because the first one was kind of sexist, and the second one was kind of racist. But everyone everywhere kept talking about how much fun and how great the third one was, so I figured I'd give it a chance. And it turns out the main character's Native American! Which I didn't know. And he's lovely. And the second-most important character is his brother, who's also lovely, AND THEY HAVE A BEAUTIFUL RELATIONSHIP, OH MY GOD. The game starts with our teenage main character finding out he's a superhuman, and they get locked up in this world, so he started freaking out, and his sheriff brother just CAME AROUND BEHIND HIM AND HELD HIM AND SAID "You're not one of them, alright, you're my brother, you're MY brother!". All he does is worry about the main character, he said recently he should have just locked him in a cupboard all his life so he couldn't get into trouble. Their parents are dead so they only have each other, and the brother obviously feels completely responsible for the main character. Today a woman from the tribe called the main character to say he should stop superheroing, and just come home, she asked if it was the brother who was making them stay and said if it was the main character should just say he wants to go home because "he'd do anything for you, you know that right?". I LOVE THEM SO MUCH. And the villain is a woman who is genuinely frightening and a believable threat. So now I am here for POC incest and evil femdom too. I BET EVERY TEAM IS GLAD TO HAVE ME ON IT.
Also the game is so good. SO GOOD. It's almost like I forgot games could be fun. I was really enjoying Grand Theft Auto 5, but it's quite emotionally gruelling, and a little confusing about how much it wants you to enjoy or criticise power fantasies. And they have a difficulty system that I find quite - well, difficult. Most games, you can set at the beginning whether you want things to be easy, medium or hard (or worse), and the game will change individual sections according. In Grand Theft Auto 5, there is just one difficulty level, but at the end of each section it gives you a score according to how many optional extra things you did. And if you didn't do them you have to do the whole mission again. So instead of getting to the end of a section and thinking 'yay, I did it!', I get to the end of a section and think 'I did it!...Look at all the things I didn't do'. That's not very pleasant with OCD. Infamous: Second Son, though: fun as hell.
And Bethesda finally announced Fallout 4! skflsfjkl
