What 5 Things

[(Anonymous)]

What 5 things would you want a potential significant other to watch, play, read, or whatever so that they would understand who you were on?

At least Lord of the Rings, though the Silmarillion would be great as well. Also watch the movies. Watch the Star Wars movies (all of them). Read The Color of Law, read A Nation of Immigrants.

Honestly my list of things I'd rather they weren't into would be far, far longer. I'm ok with not sharing all the same interests, I just don't want to date/marry someone I find creepy or mean.

I don't find "practical jokes" funny. I don't like people who get a big charge out of mocking others or who judge feminists/protestors/LGBT people/Christians or other religious people all by the same broad and negative brush. Feels like bandwagon hatred and it says a lot about the person in my opinion.

I don't honestly know if I could date or marry someone who was really into horror, porn (especially the more violent stuff), or a huge sports fan.

Have to be kind, not an extremely loud person in general, and like and be kind to animals. Liking books is a plus, but not necessary. I don't care about most TV or movies either way, if it's not hateful or really creepy.

Not someone who gets a kick out of the things that make me sad or takes joy in people hurting, 'getting what they deserve,' etc. Not a gun nut. And at this point, almost certainly not a Republican (though I'd never have said that in the past).

For me it's less about wanting a potential SO to have read or watched specific things and more about wanting them to be fannish/geeky in general. I've been in a relationship with a non-geek and it just didn't work. He didn't engage with things like I did, and he couldn't even understand why I would want to talk with people about the latest episode or movie, and the one time I brought up fanfic (in a very cautious, general sense) he just said that that was weird.

Yeah, this is me. (And for that matter, they have to be fannish/geeky in a similar way to me. I wouldn't date a hardcore anti- for example, or an otherkin or Snapewife or something, even if we shared a lot of other interests.)

That sounds like being trapped in Purgatory forever.

Like, there's nothing wrong with him not having standard fandom interests, but like you, I'd be a bit out of my depth trying to relate to someone who didn't see the importance of engaging with the media they consume.

Arrested Development
Teeth
The Descent
Nextwave: Agents of Hate
Strictly Ballroom

I'd like them to read in general. It wouldn't matter to me so much if they read the same genres I do, though someone who was only into Westerns or books about secret agents might not have much to talk to me about.

It would be great if they played Pokemon, but I'd settle for someone who tolerates that I play it.

My favorite band is a German punk band and they would have to put up with me playing the occasional song for them and maybe asking them to read translated lyrics. But it wouldn't be a daily thing or anything. I would want someone who listened to music. Almost any genre would be OK but if they liked a lot of stuff that appeared in "Dave Barry's Book of Bad Songs" that might be getting close to being a deal-breaker. Come to think of it they should read that book.

It would be nice if they watched anime. It would be necessary that they didn't make fun of me for liking it.

But honestly, not meaning to sound pathetic or anything, I've been alone a long time and I don't want to be and I'm not that picky. My deal-breakers are more stuff like bigotry, not an inability to name 10 pokemon or anything like that.
