Summer has always been my favorite season! I love the warm weather, the sunshine, and of course, beaches. It’s not like I paint them or anything 😉
July 12th – Summer Time
It’s summertime in the western hemisphere so this week we’re thinking about the warmer time of year and tropical climates.
What is your favourite summer movie?
Mad Max: Fury Road – Yes, it’s a summer movie in my book, the most badass summer movie ever created! I remember when I saw it in theatres. I felt like it was written specifically for me because it had everything I ever wanted in a post apocalyptic world: crazy warriors decked out in bizarre armor, check. Insane vehicles with metal armor and weapons, check. Fast paced sequences with an action packed soundtrack, check.
I mean, check out the Doof Wagon in all its glory complete with metal riffs that shoot flames.
What is your favourite summer scene/moment from a fandom? This could be something specific to hot weather i.e. trip to the beach or a holiday/road trip, or something that happened during the summertime.
The entire Black Panther movie because there are too many amazing scenes (and beautiful sets) to choose from! It’s one of my favorite MCU films.
What is your favourite fictional tropical location?
This is like picking my favorite cake…can I have all of them?
I truly enjoy the art of anime beaches. They’re always so beautiful, sparkling, and the animators know how to capture the essence of tropical paradise. It’s been a long time since I’ve watched anime, so I am racking my brain (and google) for specific scenes I remember, but I’m coming up short.
I just love the way water looks in animation, and this has inspired me to attempt to do some digital beaches in the near future.
On a side note, searching “anime beach” brings up stuff that I don’t want to put on my blog, ha ha, so sadly, I don’t have a screencap. You can google anime beaches at your own peril. 😉
If you could go on holiday to any fictional place where would it be?
Risa in Star Trek Online, especially their summer event (I probably missed it this year). It’s so much fun to explore, and you can fly around in a jet pack!
Which fictional characters would you choose for a road trip?
Bester, The Smiths, Katniss & Peeta, and Loki!
Pick a fandom and create an ice cream flavour based on it!
My first instinct is Neapolitan for The Man in the High Castle, but since we get to create a flavor, let me break out my sketch book!
Die Nebenwelt Swirl
Enjoy a refreshing vanilla treat with swirls of blueberry flavor! It is a must have while visiting Die Nebenweltland!
