My Christmas tree is a mix of ornaments from my childhood and ones from later on in my life. Many of them are related to my favorite fandoms, naturally. I thought I would showcase one every other day in December in a 12 Days of Fandom Ornaments series.
Also created for me in a swap, here are my two favorite demon hunting brothers on my Christmas tree!
With the holidays approaching, I thought it was time for another themed list. Here are my fandom-related requests, most of which are not available in stores, so it’s definitely up to Santa to make some of these happen for me.
In honor of the upcoming holiday, here are some of my scariest fandom shirts. And by scary I mean not very scary at all really.
It being October, I looked for scary crafts to showcase here and didn’t come up with too much.
So here are my favorite boys out hunting demons in their little impala matchbox.
I used lots of different shots of the impala from the show, resized, and fit them together to form the car. Inside is a devil’s trap and supplies needed for a good salt & burn.
Sometimes I will pin things on my Ideas & Inspirations Pinterest board with every intention of trying my hand at that project or something similar to it at least. But every so often I come across a craft that is so amazing I could never hope to duplicate it.
People who know me know I like to sort people I meet into Hogwarts Houses. I can’t do it with all people, but some people give off pretty strong indicators. I do the same thing with fictional characters.
I thought it would be fun to come up with 10 characters I sort into particular houses. And, as I’m a Hufflepuff, I thought I’d start with my favorite house. I thus give you ten characters I usually sort into Hufflepuff:
Sometimes things happen that make me put shows I love on hold. This could happen due to my DVR eating episodes and I don’t realize it until I try to start watching, or because I just lose interest. I fully intend to get back to all of these one day.
Pinterest has, for some reason, been sending me emails of boards I might like to follow… that have subjects I don’t have any interest in: make-up, fashion, cooking, summer beach fun, travel, etc.
Frequently, they send me great board recommendations, many of them geek-related, though none as spot-on as this particular email I just received that made me laugh:
Haha! Pinterest knows what I’m looking for now. I forgive it for the boring emails it has sent in the past. This makes up for it.
Give me a TARDIS any day, but this list is just for muggle vehicles.
My friends IRL know that I’m a crier. I cry not just at sad movies but at their movie trailers before the sad movies are even out.
There are also some fandom songs I cannot listen to without at least tearing up. I learned the hard way that I had to uncheck these songs in iTunes at work (I’ve had coworkers walk in on me as I was bawling) and I cannot listen to them while driving (twice I’ve had to pull over to the side of the road because I was crying too hard to drive/see). But these are also songs I love so very dearly. In fact, it was easy to come up with this list in just a few minutes because some of these are among my favorite fandom songs ever written. I just… can’t listen to them while driving.
Note: There’s a MoM song that belongs on this list, but given the recent… yeah… I’m choosing to leave that song off. That’s all right. There are enough Snidget songs to make up the difference 😉
Additional Note/Warning: Massive spoilers for Harry Potter, Supernatural through season 7, His Dark Materials series, Torchwood Children of Earth, and the first Hunger Games novel/movie
