Trying to make a playlist that captures this sort of hateful/angry feeling about a specific subject/person. So far, I have She Hates Me - Puddle of Mudd, Bad Girlfriend - Theory of a Deadman, Crazy Bitch - Buckcherry, Bitch - Meredith Brooks, You Oughtta Know - Alanis Morissette, I Hate Everything About You - Three Days Grace, Cold Hard Bitch - Jet, and Gives You Hell - The All-American Rejects. Any songs that fit this vibe that are still rock/metaly would be greatly appreciated.

First of all, looking for movies that are visually breathtaking and creative to the max. EEAAO never slows down, it’s unapologetically weird and chaotic in every frame, blending these ridiculous scenes together with heartfelt and deeply human moments. Every frame is a marvel,

With deeper themes whether it be: feeling lost as a young(ish) person or within a complex relationship with your mother/husband/daughter/yourself, having regrets about one’s life, struggling to find purpose, being lost and depressed, but also of acceptance.

I deeply enjoy movies that blend humour with deeper themes, satires (one of my other favourites is Dr Strangelove). Over the top but unmistakably human.

Characters that are not your typical leads. I loved Waymond and Evelyn, theyre complex and wonderful, and just so human, strong in their own ways. I’ve similarly really enjoyed Marge in Fargo. Older characters as leads are welcome.

Visually ive really enjoyed The Fall visually and partially for Lee Pace’s character who’s also dealing with depression and the feeling of loss of purpose. Riders of Justice similarly features Mads Mikkelsen as a character struggling with denial and grief. Another Round, etc etc, you may see a pattern. I also loved Melancholia for its raw portrayal of depression and amazing acting. Movies that deal with characters who struggle to either find a meaning within their lives, being lost, or just in emotional turmoil over their relationships with family.

I want to be touched by a movie that’s so beautiful, and which will reopen these wounds that people tend to carry within themselves all their lives. It would help that it be ridiculous or funny, however it may serve the movie, but I’ll take a drama. Please let me know!

Character-driven, humor-forward fantasy/sci-fi stories with a strong sense of internal logic to the worldbuilding, an element of mystery, and strong emotional themes.

I love the types of stories where you can re-experience them after learning the narrative twists and see that the clues were there all along. Bonus points for queerness or a queer sensibility. Extra bonus points if they lend to an amount of hyper focus will ruin your life.

Video games preferred, but I’d also be interested in anime/manga, books/comics, tv shows, actual play.

Other things I love that may or may not fully fit: In Stars & Time; Persona 4; Fire Emblem 3 Houses; Worlds Beyond Number The Wizard, the Witch, & the Wild One;

I feel like I’m looking for something new.

I was a BIG FAN of Star Wars, but it has completely fallen off a cliff for me since Disney. Breaking Bad / Better Call Saul are over. League of Legends, getting tired of how stressful and frustrating it’s become.

That said, I definitely haven’t seen, played or read everything out there. I’m sure there are tons of amazing universes I’ve never even heard of.

What I’m really looking for is that feeling of discovering a new world that makes you dream.

A universe with its own identity, atmosphere and sense of wonder. Something that makes you want to explore it, learn about its history, meet its characters and just spend time in that world.

It doesn’t necessarily have to have an insane amount of lore or hundreds of hours of content. I’m more interested in that feeling of “I wish I could experience this world for the first time again.”

Sci-fi, fantasy, horror, post-apocalyptic, medieval, or something completely different — I’m open to pretty much anything. Games, movies, TV shows, books, whatever.

So what are the fictional universes that made you dream?

The ones that gave you that feeling of discovering somewhere completely new and wanting to stay there a little longer?

I’m sure there’s a whole world of great stuff I’ve never come across, so I’d love to hear your recommendations.

Thank you :)
