A Personal Canon

I usually keep this in my head, but today I’ll inflict it upon you.


I don’t think this is something I’ve bothered to compile before, mainly because I didn’t think anybody would care because while I occasionally participate in some spaces it is as a guest. I’ve never felt as if I were truly part of a community. But that’s not my problem. It never was, which is something I’ve known for decades and should have believed sooner.

But I don’t think it had occurred to me to share any of this until I saw the following people doing it.

The following is material that has inspired me, challenged me, comforted me, or merely amused me (which doesn’t come easily). Make of it what you can. If there’s anything on here that you find objectionable or ‘problematic’, dial 1-800-B-DAMNED. Because de gustibus non disputandum est; there’s no arguing with taste — even if you yourself think it’s bad taste.

books

albums

games

When a title can also refer a series, I am referring to the series.

movies

television

I should close with a word of caution. I no more my favorite media than I am what I do for a paycheck. Neither are you. Even if the media we consume played some role in shaping us, we are more than that. Or, at least, we damned well should be.

Also, perhaps this should be a slash page rather than a grimoire entry. So, you can also find this via https://starbreaker.org/canon/.
