Media Recs - December '24
Added 2025-01-09 21:05:14 +0000 UTCSo I'm still figuring out how I want to format my media recommendations. I'm still deciding whether to create smaller, multiple posts throughout the month, one larger monthly reflection, or a more graphic-oriented post. Some posts will focus on films, while others will highlight music. Ultimately, I want this to be a casual space where I share things I’ve enjoyed—hopefully, you'll enjoy them too! I'll try to focus on media that touches on queer characters, history, or themes, but I don't want to limit myself exclusively to that.
What media did you enjoy in December?
Films (Animation Edition):
Feature - Memoir of a Snail, I loved this so much! My favorite of Elliot's films in his current filmography, and possibly his most colorful as well? Was incredibly funny and dark but also had a sweet, uplifting ending.
Short - Pink Panic, haven't watched this since I was little and it's still held up. A fantastic choice to show during Halloween.
Music:
Compilation - I didn't listen to a lot of albums last month, but the one I consistently go back to is this fantastic playlist compilation of music that could be on a Katamari Damacy OST. I recommend the tracks Hazel Nuts Chocolate - "LOVE+PIECE+ICECREAM!" and Pecombo - "chanson des jumelles."
Lit:
Book - Since I started my new job, I've been reading so much more these past few months. Something I borrowed recently from the library was the anthology collection No Straight Lines: Four Decades of Queer Comics (2012). It's a very entertaining and interesting read, fantastic for those who want to learn more about the history of queer comic art.
