Summer 2025 in Fandom

Oops all Battleship edition.

Media Consumed

I watched a bunch of great movies this summer. I don't have the energy to write reviews, but I'm happy to talk about any of them in the comments!

The entire Mission Impossible franchise
Past Lives
Superman (2025)
Weapons
The Company of Wolves
Dog Soldiers
Jaws (50th anniversary screening, rewatch)

The only proper new fandom I got into this summer was the Locked Tomb series, after reading the first half of the first book back in 2021. I've always been confused when this series gets broadly marketed to anyone who likes lesbian sci-fi, because these books are fucking weird and gross and horny and full of dumb millennial internet humor. Gideon/Harrow is all my favorite goth grimdark lady/knight, brains/brawn, tiny dom/big sub fealty tropes with heaps of sarcasm and gross body horror and character death piled on top. I also love that this series is unapologetically multishippy, with tons of side characters/ships and both Gideon and Harrow spending big chunks of pagetime flirting with other girls. Add me to the cohort of people desperately awaiting the release date of Alecto the Ninth.

In Progress/Upcoming

I really wanted to sign up for Jump Scare, but was too burned out from Battleship at the time. I'm planning on signing up for Trick or Treat, possibly with a full slate of horror movie fandoms. I'm also tossing around ideas for a spooky or kinky flash exchange.
