Day 6: Law and Order

[facethestrange]

Today it's not a self-rec either. :)

This fic perfectly portrays Tahani's pride and vulnerability in a way that is slightly sarcastic but ultimately warm and compassionate (which is the perfect tone for The Good Place canon). ❤

Half A Moon Day 7: Canon Recs (1 Comic 1 Book/Audiobook)

[fhionnuisce]

I am a member of an online community where we count the books we read, and review them for each other. I've been doing it for a lot of years, and sometimes when a review sounds good and there is a categorial "I recommend this" in the group several of us will end up reading the same books. I'd like to rec two things that I read because of participation in that group. They don't have a fandom yet on AO3, and I thought if I rec them now maybe something will exist by this time next year.

Comic/Graphic Novel
I Kill Giants by Joe Kelly. A single volume comic that tells its story deftly in that amount of space. Now a film. All of the characters are strong women and girls (with a focus on kids). It should be noted there is some bullying. Other than that I don't want to give a lot of CWs because they would be spoilery, but if you guessed from the theme of giants that this would be mythology-heavy you are correct.

The movie, which is a fairly faithful adaptation, is on Hulu.

Book
First of all the audiobook of this is amazing. It's a debut novel and I usually look at those a bit askance. Are they worth the hype? I felt that this one was. The Mermaid's Daughter by Ann Claycomb.... again, no actual fandom, but uses a lot of tropes deftly so it can be really immersive and could be open to fandom interpretation. It's a fairytale retelling with elements from Hans Christian Anderson's The Little Mermaid as well as a few elements from the Disney retelling. I know that sounds like it could become so schmaltzy and stuff but it's really woven together very well. Additionally it's worth getting your hands on the audiobook because they used 4 narrators for 4 main characters and it's just really well done.

I have more recs coming but here are the two from my book group. :)

Work and Play: Sofie Bojakshiya (Carnivale)

[fhionnuisce]

All right, I was super late to the Carnivale party because I wasn't sure how it'd interact with some of my brain stuff. I almost missed the boat! This is an older canon and it was canceled. I have so many feelings about this canon. It's one of the most honest portrayals of disability I've seen in a visual canon (movies or TV). It's not inspiration porn. (What's Inspiration Porn? Well, you probably have an idea, but Stella Young has a great TED Talk on it that's one of the only TED Talks I endorse...if you'd like to find that, in Stella's honor.)

I just. I freaking love it so much and Sofie is my favorite character.

If you know things about Sofie's arc you might scratch your head and ask why... well... It's complicated. :) The show's complicated, the mythology is rich, and basically you should meet Sofie.

So here are two Sofie-focused recs that are really everything to me.

Here is the most recent Carnivale fic in the archive (that is a Sofie rec):

Recently AO3 imported a multifandom archive called Glass Onion and when they posted about it I found this fic, which is a bit older but oh, oh, oh so good, so Sofie, and I knew everyone needed to know about it.
