Recbox for bluedreaming
Username: bluedreaming
Preferred Genres: science fiction, ergodic literature, urban fantasy (i.e. not high/historical fantasy), slice-of-life/coming-of-age, mystery, philosophical, intrigue, crime/autopsy, magical realism, comedy, poetry, horror themes (provided happy ending). I really like J-dramas (one season) that are focused on plot if you have a source, or really obscure-ish little animes.
DNW Genres: romantic comedy (romance in other genres is fine), angst, melodrama, historical fiction, period fiction, non-fiction/documentary, apocalypse/post-apocalypse
Preferred Media Types: text-based (third-person pov preferred) or video-based, short if visual (i.e. one season)
DNW Media Types: audio-only media (i.e. podcast), graphic novel (manga/manhwa/manhua are okay), video games that don't have at least one playthrough on YouTube (since I don't play, only watch)
General Likes: clever dialogue/banter, visually appealing (colour/composition) or textually appealing (prose style), intricate plot, 2LGBTQIA+ representation (especially aspec), ethnic diversity, friendship, happy ending, three-dimensional female characters, established relationships, queerplatonic relationships, philosophical musings
General DNWs: major character death, angst, explicit sexual content, unhappy ending, grim reality, systemic injustice, prison/justice system, racism, graphic gore, USA-centric view of the world, abuse/corporal punishment/dub-non-con, focus on politics/religion
Fandom Preferences: slash/femslash potential, genfic potential, completely optional but appreciated: prevalence of Blanket Statements (i.e. Transformative Works Policy), openness to podfic in fandom events (if the fandom is big enough to have events. Tiny fandoms/be-the-first fandoms are cool too!)
Requests for Content Warnings: anything that would fit even a bit in an Ao3 Archive Warning (following their definitions). I do not mind spoilers at all (I appreciated all the "tags".)
Examples of Media Enjoyed: Dennou Coil (anime), Check Please!, Studio Ghibli,
ACCA-13 (anime), Wonders of the Invisible World by Christopher Barzak, Hyouka (anime), GOTH (light novel, manga, film), Good Omens, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (book), Red, White, and Royal Blue, CLAMP (especially xxxHoLiC), Mars (manga), Diary of June (film), Ergo Proxy (anime), Chihayafuru (anime), the first season of Bakemonogatari, Steins;Gate, KADO: The Right Answer (anime), K (anime), Hozuki's Coolheadedness (anime), Midnight Occult Civil Servants (watched anime partway), The Perfect Insider (anime), Occultic;Nine, Eden of the East (anime), Natsume Yuujinchou (anime but haven't watched all), Mushishi (anime), Tanaka-kun is Always Listless (anime), Control (videogame playthrough), The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (videogame playthrough), Wagnaria!!

Examples of Fandoms with Fanworks I like (but I won't/will no longer consume the canon): Harry Potter, Hannibal, Schitt's Creek, MZDS/CQL, The Hobbit/LotR/Tolkien, Supernatural, Teen Wolf, Daiya no Ace, Haikyuu!!, Kuroko no Basuke, Merlin (TV), Sherlock (TV), My Hero Academia, Bungo Stray Dogs, Star Wars, Death Stranding, Rurouni Kenshin/Samurai X, The Raven Cycle, Shameless, Stargate Atlantis, X-men, Pern, Hamilton (production), Anita Blake books, Captive Prince, Suits, Dr. Who/Torchwood, The Magicians, The Witcher (video games only, not the show), Kingsman, Rivers of London, The Magnus Archives, Bond, Guardian, Jim Butcher books, Artemis Fowl (books), The Social Network, A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones, Star Trek, Pacific Rim, DC/Smallville/etc., Marvel, All for the Game, Narnia, Stranger Things, IT, Elementary, The Mentalist, Lucifer, Damien, Silicon Valley, Sense8, Fullmetal Alchemist/Brotherhood, The Vorkosigan Saga, Ursula K.

Streaming Services I Can Access: Netflix, Amazon Prime, Crunchyroll, Funimation, Viki, Kanopy, Hoopla, YouTube Premium, Spotify, Apple TV (whatever it's called). I'm happy to straight-out buy stuff too.
Languages I'm Comfortable With: For canon: anything with English subtitles (as a second choice, French, Spanish or German. Dutch/Italian/Portuguese in a very tight pinch.) For fanworks: English
Note: I have a really narrow corridor of canon-likes right now (sorry! it's a strange time!) so I'm totally okay with not receiving any canon-recs BUT I love getting into fanworks while being fandom-blind. So please take this as a request for either canons that fit my likes, or fandoms with fanworks (primarily fanfic) that fit my likes. I'm also cool with RPF fandoms.

BOOKS
- Listen I'm probably preaching to the choir here but, Terry Pratchett? He co-wrote Good Omens and his Discworld books (of which there are many) are fantastic, though YMMV - if you don't like footnotes, you won't like his style. i Iove his sense of humour.
- Wayfarers series & To be taught if fortunate (novella) / Becky Chambers (Queer relationships! Exploration of space and different cultures within it,with a focus on the characters.)
- Binti / Nnedi Okorafor (POC space novella, has two sequels, protag is based on the Himba people) and decides to leave Earth to go to an intergalactic university)
- Definitely second The Martian, both book and film!
TV Series
- Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries - quite a light-hearted murder mystery series set in late 1920s Australia, not so great on the racial diversity though. Fun, with great costumes and some good female representation from the main protag Miss Fisher (who is neither virgin nor mother nor crone), her foil (and maid) Dotty, and Doctor MacMillan who pops up as best friend. There are deaths, but they're not the main characters, and it's not too bloody or gory iirc. On netflix.
- Leverage - found family heist series, again it's fun and quite Robin Hoodesque. There's an almost canon OT3? Amazon Prime (I don't have Prime so not 100% sure but google tells me so). Set in the US, one POC in the main cast.
- Firefly - space western! Unfortunately cancelled by TPB after a season, but there's Serenity the movie sequel(was on Netflix... don't think it is any longer but that could be just my region. Amazon Prime seems to win again) There are two POC in the main cast.

Thanks for the recs! I have seen Serenity a few years back (and enjoyed it). I really appreciate it!
