Fandom Snowflake Challenge 2024; Challenge #2

[anxious_songbird]

For the 2nd Challenge we we're tasked with setting up goals for ourselves, fannish or not. So here's mine:

- Read more "Magi - The Labyrinth of Magic" (mostly for my discord buddy)
- Play trough the Pokémon Sword DLC & Pokémon Violet DLC
- Document my new playtrough of the Pokémon Sword + the DLC
- Finish the Pokémon B&W Let's Play & Platinum Let's Play by Chuggaaconroy
- Listen to more new music (& by new I mean new to me)
- Post more mixtapes
- Write more; can't get better if I don't do it more of it
- Do more media analysis; can't get better if I don't do it more of it
- Code a Tumblr Theme for myself // Learn more HTML
- Mess around more with my drawn art
- Listen to "The Magnus Archives"
- Get a haircut

Oh, I really enjoyed the Magi anime but never read the manga! That's really nice, your friend must be happy :D

I love the variety! Good luck with all your goals :)

[tropicsbear]

Here from snowflake_challenge! Best of luck with the writing practice 🔥

[peasina]

Woohoo, so many Pokemon-related goals! 🥳 Hope you have fun with those. I've yet to play the Violet DLC, but I'm hoping to very soon.

[snowynight]

I really admire the variety of your goals. Good luck!

[anxious_songbird]

Thank you! And good luck with you're writing & book list :3

[snowynight]

Thank you!

[anxious_songbird]

My hyperfixation right now is Pokémon, so I hope it keeps being that cause I'm having fun with it! Good luck with your podfic-gifting!

[anxious_songbird]

Thanks! Good luck with that 20 year Saiyuki Streak ::::33

[anxious_songbird]

So far my opinion on Magi is "looks fun; have mixed feelings", but it's not bad & my friends says it gets really good in arc 3 and I trust her :) can't wait till she can fully ramble to me about Magi.

Thanks! & good luck on yours ^_^

That's a really nice list of goals :O documenting playthroughs of games/DLCs is a really nice idea, and I feel like I ought to do it more often. I haven't played the ScVi DLCs, although I did watch a relative play the first one (Ogerpon is so cute!! I like a lot of the freshly introduced mons)

Chugga is so cool c:

[anxious_songbird]

Thank :3

I figuer documenting my new playtrough of Sword would help me with both analysis skills & au-building since it would make stand still and think harder about what's going on & what the characters are thinking.

Haven't even paid for either DLC yet! I am planning on following an appendix for both but I want to go into them semi-blind (ingoring the stuff I've already spoiled for myself lol)

Also yes; Ogerpon is a cutie :3

[thepowerofdeath]

Have fun playing Pokemon - and good luck!

[anxious_songbird]

Thank you, and good luck on those 100 books :3

Kinda wish I had documented my playthroughs back in the day I played video games, as that sounds like a pretty fun idea! Revisiting the game later on and remembering what it was like the first time around...

I'll second the goal for doing more media analysis! It's so good to keep on stretching those critical thinking muscles that it's surprising we don't all do more of it. I do wish I did!

Good luck with your goals and may you find much good music! :)

[anxious_songbird]

I didn't pay the best attention to PKMN Sword when I first played it, so me documenting it will hopfully keep the story more in my head.

Honestly, I haven't done much media analysis, but it's actually kinda fun? Like yes more people should do it!

So thank you! (also, feel free to recomend some music artists~)

[sisterdivinium]

Back in ye old days, I had friends who would call me every other day to ask how I had done this or that in Pokémon Sapphire for some reason. Their interest was less in the story, though, and I think they just wanted to Not Fail At The Game (?). But you do well to keep track of story, that's one thing that can sometimes slip us by in games, I feel.

I tend to do a lot of my analysis on physical notebooks, so it's not visible to most people. Then again, it doesn't demand as much supplementary research as when I do decide to post this stuff online, so there's that, too: the amount of effort involved to make sure others don't think we're just saying things for the sake of saying them!

Ahh, music... How about... Les Discrets (try L'échappée), True Widow (maybe Bleeder), Summoning (Flammifer, perhaps), Amenra (Het Gloren)? Or Pvris (Nightmare), Florence + the Machine (Hiding), Siouxsie and the Banshees (gonna say Fireworks instead of any of their most known songs, just because)... And Gabriel Fauré's Pavane, for some classics. I could be here all day with this so I'll just stop there and hope you find anything that pleases you as much as it pleases me in that little selection :)

You have a nice variety of goals. Good luck with all of them! :D

[anxious_songbird]

Thank you! & sucess on that writing & media consumption :3

[linky]

Wishing the best of luck with all your goals! I actually need to see the Pokémon B&W Let's Play by Chuggaaconroy myself. It's nice to see someone else out there who also watches his videos. :D

[tsuki_no_bara]

i love that among all the creative and fannish goals is "get a haircut". hee.

[anxious_songbird]

Thank you & good luck on your drawing goals :3

(also yea ^_^ i think Chuggaa has nice energy to him which makes his videos fun to watch + the info he adds to his let's plays is so cool)

[anxious_songbird]

I've been forgetting to do it since last, i need to do it eventually lmao

[lightbird]

Ooh, that last one! I need to do that too. :)

Good luck with accomplishing all of your goals this year.

[anxious_songbird]

I hope you accomplish your goals too ^_^

[silveradept]

Those are fantastic goals to have. For the one about listening to new music, perhaps onesongaday will be useful to you. The genres and artists and time periods for those posts are all over everything, so it's good for wider exposure.

[anxious_songbird]

Thank you so much ^_^, I'll be sure to check it out!
