memed from thisbluespirit I have made a list of 50 foundational media things of mine... it's quite a mixed bag and I don't know that I'd say I recommend all of them at this remove but they all certainly left a mark on me. I have a massive sinus headache due to changing weather so I'm sure there are a lot of things I've forgotten all about. Also most of them really ought to be "this entire series or this author's entire oeuvre" but we make do. Anyway consider letting me know which ones you've experienced or whatever. (It's got everything from music to video games as well as the expected books and movies so who knows.)

Almost half! Might be completely half, I can't remember if I ever read The Swiss Family Robinson or just encountered it via Ursula Vernon. Granted, a good chunk of them I encountered THROUGH you so there's that.

31! There were a couple I didn't tick (Mass Effect) for one because while I'd heard of it, I knew nothing about it other than 'that's a computer game, right?'

And there were some that I was pleasantly surprised at, although at this point the only one I can think of was one of the musicians (if Gordon Lightfoot was there it was them).

Approximately half (I'd ticked 26 out of 50 at the point that I hit the "show results" button, but I also kept changing my mind as I went through the list about the best way to interpret the stipulation 'familiar with'...)

17/50, which is pretty impressive considering our usual tendency to only meet in very specific fictional places and then diverge again wildly in interesting ways, often even inside those spaces. <3

32 of 50 and I should like you to tell me about Howard Pearse's Fog Horns, please.
