Weird Things You Enjoy in Media

[(Anonymous)]

what are some details in tv shows or movies that most people probably either don't pay attention to, dislike, or don't care about that you enjoy?

Re: Weird Things You Enjoy in Media

[sparrow_lately]

Characters' handwriting/how they decorate their spaces.

Re: Weird Things You Enjoy in Media

[kallanda_lee]

I think SOME people pay attention to it, but I'm a sucker for good character writing, and I can squee about those little things writers get "right" about characterization. Not even huge plot things, just things that are pleasing.

I'm definitely the person who pauses and tries to read the text in newspapers or books or whatever on shows. If I'm watching alone. I love it when they sneak easter eggs in there.

Re: Weird Things You Enjoy in Media

I love when there's a foreign language that I can try to understand, whether spoken or in writing.

Shoes in costume dramas/period pieces. Do they look like they've been mass produced or hand cobbled. I don't know why I notice, I don't even like shoes.

I like it when shows have characters who aren't pretty criers. I always kind of laugh when a character starts sobbing on tv and they're the picture of beauty and perfection with crystalline tears flowing gently down their face instead of a bawling, gross mess. Most people irl just don't look super attractive when they're full-on crying and I get a weird sense of appreciation when media reflects this

The biggest example I can think of for this is One Piece. Whenever a character in One Piece breaks down, they're generally a total, snotty wreck (even the pretty female characters) and I've always liked that.

Another example is Sam Winchester in Supernatural. I love watching Sam cry so much that I think I might have a genuine problem. He's always such a mess when he cries that it makes his devastation seem a lot more real

When the background flowers and foliage actually line up with the season the episode is supposedly set in. So often a show is set in the month it is set to air, but filmed at literally the opposite month of the year. That is how you get daffodils and tulips in full flower in September, bare trees in July, and the lush woodlands of January in tv land (if you are in the devil's hemisphere, then just move those months around til it makes sense for whatever weird shit you have down there). When a prop master or scenery coordinator takes time to get that right (especially in indoor shot dramas where it is really only seen through windows) it really makes my day.

I also like when it is set in the Canadian rainforest, because X-files nostalgia.

I like it when a character is a lefty, and it's not actually called attention to in the show, you just have to notice that they do handedness-dependent things with their left hand. It's just kind of cool to me when the creators don't default everyone to being a righty.

Re: Weird Things You Enjoy in Media

[kaijinscendre]

I love when background characters do weird or hilarious stuff when they are in a scene.

I also like watching dead bodies as closely as possible to see if I can see the actors breathe or move.

Re: Weird Things You Enjoy in Media

[dancingmouse]

Little, tiny things they get right in historical fiction. Like "They got the right material and weave for that throw rug in the corner!" or "That dress is accurate right down to the last bead!"

Also, little things that no one else pays attention to, like shadows, the way a tree moves, or the way clothes fall on a person's frame.

Re: Weird Things You Enjoy in Media

[morieris]

Cinematography.

On the flipside, I notice a lack of background music a lot and it really bothers me

Re: Weird Things You Enjoy in Media

[nightscale]

Characters actually speaking the language they supposed to be using rather than speaking in accented English, it's a small thing that pleases me.

Re: Weird Things You Enjoy in Media

[(Anonymous)]

When clothing is reused by a the same character in a season (even better if the items spans a few seasons).

Nails, anyone?

[(Anonymous)]

Do you get your nails done? Do you do them yourself? Or do you not care about your nails? If you do them (or get them done), what's your favorite color polish or do you prefer nail art/designs?

Most Comforting Fiction

[(Anonymous)]

What kinds of fiction - genres, tropes, etc - do you find most comforting? What do you turn to when you're down?

Same question for fanfiction as well - what is the most reliable comforting stuff for you?

What film reboot had a better main actor than it's original actor?

[(Anonymous)]

Shoe help

[caerbannog]

My work shoes smell? And they're making my socks and feet smell. They're nice shoes otherwise, how to fix?

Leather shoes.

Sick Days Or Playing Hooky

[(Anonymous)]

What do you do when you have to stay home sick?

What do you do when you are playing hooky?

Ramen

[(Anonymous)]

When you eat cheap ramen, do you do anything to make it fancier? Or do you just eat plain with just the packet of flavoring that comes with it?

Please tell me I'm not the only one...

[(Anonymous)]

Who misses having normal problems.

My mother's very sick. I don't know what's going to happen. And it amazes me that there are people who just... have nothing to worry about. I was one of those people not so long ago. And I can stll act like it most of the time, but bad periods like these, it's harder.

I just miss when my biggest problem was my boss being cranky and shit like that.
