Fandom Snowflake Challenge #5

Search in your current space, whether brick-and-mortar or digital. Post a picture (a link to a picture will be fine!) or description of something that is or represents:

1. Something your favorite character would like
- for the sake of argument, I'm going to pick Spike for this, and I think he'd like the fancy bourbon I have stashed away for special occasions.
2. Something that makes you laugh - somewhere around here there's a copy of Dave Barry Does Japan and that never fails to get at least a giggle.
3. A fandom place you would like to visit - the badges from old slash cons I've attended hang on my bulletin board, reminding me of better times. They're not as specific as Disneyland or a specific restaurant used as a shooting location, but a con's dance floor is somewhere I miss deeply.
4. A fandom creator (pro or not) you'd like to meet - related to the previous answer, there's way too many people I want to hug to list here.
5. Something you find comforting - my weighed blanket's very comforting, especially when I need a nap.
6. Something from a favorite TV series or movie from your childhood - the DVD of Fly Away Home isn't exactly from the movie, but it's the movie itself.
7. A piece of clothing you love - my long black leather coat that I bought at a store I'm pretty sure vanished into the night.
8. A book or song with a color in the title - I listened to "Little Green" by Joni Mitchell a fair bit for emotional inspiration for a specific part of my last project, so I'll say that.
9. Something only someone in your fandom would understand - I have two dresses with cherry patterns on them and I wore them a couple of times with a large novelty key tied on a green ribbon for the most subtle shout-out to Buffy and Dawn Summers I could pull off.

Oh, yeah. Spike would love your bourbon. He'd be snobby about it but would secretly be thrilled that you shared it with him!

Yeah. old friends that you don't see anymore are precious memories... hope they are happy ones!

Thank you for participating in Snowflake today!

I love Joni Mitchell, Blue is my favorite album.

The dresses sound adorable.

Mine too! I came by it honestly, as it is one of my parents' favourite albums. I bought my mum a print for her birthday years ago where the artist had imagined Blue as a stack of vintage Penguin books with blue covers.

The print sounds beautiful. Your parents have good taste--and so do you.

I think it's lovely, yeah. The Etsy shop where I bought it, Standard Designs seems to still be in business, although I don't know if they still have that specific print.

At any rate, here is a photo of the one I got for my mother if you'd like a look.A row of second-hand books visually similar to vintage Penguin classic paperbacks. The titles of each book are songs on the Joni Mitchell album Blue.

I love it. I want to steal the idea and make one for myself. Lol.

Dave Barry writes and writes and writes, go Dave! I'm in the midst of reading his wrap on 2023's events. :)

#9 sounds like a very tasteful bit of low-key (aha) fandom rep. I love Little Green, and Joni, so much too.
