SGS Double Header

Hello, everyone! It’s time for a Seriously Geeky Sunday double header! Let’s do this thing, here we go!

10th January – New year, new… fandoms?

Forget new year’s resolutions; new fandoms is what the new year is really all about! We all had high hopes for how 2021 was going to start out, and while we can’t control that we can look forward to what’s coming out in the entertainment world.

Let’s start big; what release are you most looking forward to this year?

I must confess that I have not been keeping up with upcoming releases. Most of the shows I’ve been looking forward to were affected by the pandemic. With that being said, future episodes of The Expanse. I am so glad they are airing them weekly! 

What new release this year are you not that hyped up about?

I honestly don’t know. There really isn’t anything coming out on a subscription service I have that I’m actively dreading (ha ha!). I don’t give shows I don’t enjoy the time of day.

A new year often means new characters, what upcoming character are you looking forward to meeting?

Soldier Boy from The Boys! the show is so damn good, I cannot wait to see how they write him. His costume, and everything about him!

Tell us about something that has been on your backlog/to-do list for a while that you’re going to try to get to this year.

I plan to read the airport book I got just before the pandemic hit, We Were the Lucky Ones by Georgia Hunter (I’d been holding off in hopes of a return to normalcy so that I could read it during my travels, but alas!).

Thinking of a fandom you follow regularly, what event or moment (big or small) do you hope happens this year?

Almost ANY event at this point! Another The Man in The High Castle Field Team 6 evening of zoom would be nice. I had so much fun during the last one.

In the spirit of resolutions, do you have any geeky ones?

I do! I hope to get back to drawing as much as I did in 2019, most of which featured fanart. 

17th January – The one with friends

To everyone who hoped this was going to be inspired by the TV show Friends, sorry! I just couldn’t resist the pun Tomorrow is known as Winnie the Pooh Day, celebrating author A.A. Milne and his stories. One of the core components of those stories was Winnie and his friends, so today is all about friendships in fandoms.

In the last fandom you enjoyed, what was your favourite friendship?

I’m currently watching serial killer documentaries (let’s just skip those, ha ha!) and also the latest season of The Expanse. One of the friendships I am loving this season is Draper and Alex. They make a great team while also being hilarious. I am always thrilled when it is one of their scenes. 

Which character/s would you like to be best friends with?

Now this is a tough one! *Glances up at Bester posters on wall* Maybe not. Alfred Bester would make a loyal friend (as long as you’re in the Psi Corps that is!). He’s got charisma, wit, and badass telepathic powers. He is one of the most well written and complex characters I’ve ever seen. He likes to talk (and I am quiet), so I feel like we’d make a great team. I am sure he has some crazy stories. He’s also got a unique perspective on the inner workings of various organizations, EarthForce, EarthGov, Mars, and etc. I’d love to listen his thoughts (no pun intended!) on current events. 

What fictional friendship has stood the test of time in your eyes?

Sam and Frodo <3 from The Lord of the Rings triology

Reimagine a group of fictional friends as Winnie and friends; who is Piglet, Tigger or Eyeore?

Winnie the Pooh: Deep Space Nine edition!

  • Winnie the Pooh – Morn
  • Piglet – Rom
  • Tigger – Dukat (I mean, he loves to show off…lol!)
  • Eyeore – Odo
Sometimes friendships don’t last; which fictional friendship do you miss?

Juliana and Joe from The Man in the High Castle. Prior to Season 3, they complemented each other, and I’d love to see more of that. 

Weyoun and Dukat’s frenemy relationship from Deep Space Nine. I mean Dukat is the most egotistical character ever, and Weyoun is stuck with him. 

Pick a fandom where the main cast is made up of teenagers/young adults and reimagine them in a Friends-esque sitcom. Who’s living together? Who dated who? Etc.

I’ll do the Hunger Games!

  • Roomates: 
    • Peeta and Heymitch
    • Prime and Rue
    • Katniss, Effie, and Tigris (this would be hilarious)
    • Snow and Gale 
  • Dated
    • Gale/Effie (This would entertaining to watch)
    • Gale/Mrs. Mellark (A match made in heaven)
    • Katniss/Peeta (I HAD to add them!)
    • Heymitch/Seneca Crane
  • That one weird friend who always shows up and instigates shenanigans:
    • Tigris

Return to Tomorrow: July

I am losing the War Against Busyism ; it is such an unfortunate truth, but that doesn’t mean I was idle while waiting in the trenches. I was able to scribble out a few things for the month of July. A patriotic prelude to my new avatar Pencil drawings are such fun! I have plans to make a digital version of this ink sketch. I’m a Fighter Pilot – The image I created my avatar out of. It’s too wide to post on here, so here’s the link! 7/3 books read. Thank FSM for lunch breaks.

High Castle is Coming to SDCC Again!

News on the High Castle Front!  High Castle is going to be at San Diego Comic Con again! Going off of last year’s SDCC appearance, we can expect some hints about Season 4, a release date, and a trailer! I have no idea what to predict about S4, so I’m going to hold all of my theories and speculations until after the panel. I CAN’T WAIT! Yet, it is also a bittersweet feeling knowing that this is the final season of the show that has been a huge part of my life since 2015. Never before has a TV show captured my imagination like Amazon’s The Man in the High Castle.   Here are the details as posted by the official @HighCastleTV Twitter account: When: Sat, July 20th at 4:15 PM I am assuming this is PST, so it will be 7:15PM for us East Coasters. Where: Room 6A I truly wish I could be there! Costume designer Cate Adair posted some details on Instagram, and I WISH I COULD TELEPORT THERE. Okay. Deep breath 😉 There will be a costume designers guild booth (#734) in the main conv...

A Quick Post

I have some good news! The deadline for the contest has been extended to 25 May! The cover is waiting patiently for 31 May. I am excited about all of this! Part of me is tempted to post the evolution of the cover from the first sketches, to the first design, and finally to the final image. It is crazy to think that the idea I had in 2010 has turned into a full length novel! Well, enough cryptic words about the cover! Here is what I’ve been up to lately in the world of art: If Babylon 5 was an anime…and had a spin off series dedicated to the Psi Corps!  ** NOTE ** I used google translate for the words “Psi” and “Corps,” so the translation might not be 100% accurate.  I periodically run drawings for free commissions on Facbook! This was for the winner of my St. Patrick’s Day drawing.  More Babylon 5 fanart. This is one of the advantages of painting, if you want to decorate your walls with something obscure, you can! Sparkly space hi...
