SGS: Freedom of the Press

If this week’s Seriously Geeky Sundays prompt has taught me anything about myself, it is that I don’t pay much attention to fictional news outlets in television, movies, and books! …But I sure as hell love making them up, especially ones that are obnoxious dystopian propaganda echo chambers. Wading through my various favorite fandoms, I came to realize that most of the fictional news that I wanted to feature in this post were ones I made up!

Sadly, most of them exist only in my head without any sort of eye catching graphics. However, here are some posters I made a while back!

3rd May – Freedom of the Press

What is your favourite fictional media outlet?

KVWN (Channel 4) from The Anchorman (2004 film). I can’t help but love a dose of humor!

Warning: strong language near the end

My second favorite fictional news network is INN from Babylon 5!

Who is your favourite fictional journalist?

Karen Page from Daredevil (and the Punisher), the TV shows. I love how she *has* to get to the bottom of things and solve cases and ends up doing the right thing. It also helps that I am a sucker for crazy, mystery solving adventures!

Who is your favourite fictional photographer?

Peter Parker from the 2002 Spider-Man film. Taking pictures of yourself as the masked hero of the day as you save your city from crime? It’s a win-win! I always found those scenes hilarious!

What is your favourite fictional interview?

Helen’s Smith’s sudden appearance on the fictional cooking show in The Man in the High Castle S4 episode, No Masters But Ourselves. If there ever was dystopian propaganda, it is that!

If you could interview any fictional character who would it be?

Alfred Bester from Babylon 5. I’ve always wanted to see things from his point of view. We got a glimpse of that in my favorite Babylon 5 episode ever, Corps is Mother Corps is Father. I’d like to know his thought process (lol!) and his reasons for everything. I’d also love to hear him tell a story about a time he arrested a blip!

Which character would you like to see given an absolute grilling live on TV and why?

John Smith from The Man in the High Castle–hear me out! I’d want to see him being grilled because I know he’d turn the tables with his calm cunning way of getting the upper hand, and to see that would be fascinating.

Saving the world with High Castle and Field Team 6

Tuesday I had the awesome pleasure of joining the Axis of Good (Joel de la Fuente, Rufus Sewell, Chelah Horsdal, Stephen Root, Jason O’Mara, Frances Turner, Michael Gaston, Sebastian Roché, and Isa Hacket) with Field Team 6 for an evening of textbanking. Let me tell you about the absolute blast I had! I didn’t know what to expect–was I nervous going in? You bet I was! I am probably the shyest person you’ll ever meet…until you get to know me, that is! The week started off with absolute chaos, as 2020 weeks often do. I spent that day doing a bunch of house projects which involved a lot of nit and grit. I scrambled to get my laptop ready in time without bothering to fix my hair and without any attempt at looking presentable. Normally fans are muted and shuffled to the back of these things. Well….I clicked the link and HELLO WORLD! Hello Joel in particular because I know you saw me fumbling around and flustered! 😉 After a minute or so, I managed to turn my...

Not So Lazy Sunday

Last weekend was extremely cold, and this weekend was absolutely perfect! The weather is busy trying to make up its mind, I suppose. I took advantage of the wonderful temperatures! I got a lot done and finished something I’ve been working on for a couple of weeks. Here is a preview of my miniature Bester plushie! (I plan to do a longer post about him later on this month). That’s my cell phone with him to give you a baseline as to how small he is. We started our first garden today! It’s small because we are just starting out. I’m hoping I have some of that green thumb my father and grandmother have. They are masters of growing things and always have awesome gardens. The plants without flowers are various peppers and one strawberry plant (I have no idea if strawberries will grow in this climate, but they are too delicious not to find out).

SGS: Creativity!

Looking at Heather’s wonderful prompts, I just realized that April is almost over. Is it really the last Sunday of the month already!? How did that happen? Even with quarantine it feels like it just zipped by! This week’s Seriously Geeky Sundays theme hits close to home, and I am super excited about it. As you all know, I’m an artist who loves to draw, paint, write, and sew! 26th April – Creativity What does creativity in fandoms/geeky interests mean to you? EVERYTHING. Just look at Club High Castle! High Castle is the one fandom where I’ve felt like I’ve been allowed to flourish. The countless hours and dedication I’ve put into the things I’ve created has been appreciated by both fans and the cast and crew. I have never experienced anything like it, and it has genuinely made me happy over the years. I’ve been in other fandoms where art and things just slipped by unnoticed–not that I’m seeking attention, but knowing that there are people out there who enjoy my...
