it is just that good and it continues to remain good no matter what age you are? It comforts you in a way that you can’t even explain, but you know you LOVE, LOVE it since you first seen it?
Tell me, what film, television series, novel, comic, song, and etc that is and why it affects you in that way?
How often are the moments when it does happen?
Thoughts and feelings?
Yup! I keep buying refurbished xbox consoles just so I can play these old games because it’s like every time I put the game in the machine I can step back in time to my childhood and it looks exactly the same as I remember, whereas in real life nothing you knew in childhood looks the same as you remember. Omg the virtual world is more real to me than real life. I knew this would happen someday… ʕʘ.ʘʔ
So it’s always a question of how much of it is because it is really good. I’d say that about Terry Pratchett and CJ Cherryh’s work, overall. But I’ve got other writers I habitually read that aren’t like that.
I have a lot of series and things that I do that with. Avatar: The Last Airbender is a big one. Stranger Things is another. I just recently rewatched Wednesday Addams because I like it so much. I replay the Spyro, Ratchet and Clank, and Jak and Daxter games for the same reason. When I’m sick, I have comfort movies I watch over and over again. The Princess Bride, Ferris Beuller’s Day Off, Tommy Boy, 50 First Dates, pretty much any Hayao Miyazaki film.
In terms of Studio Ghibli, I will watch on repeat Whispers of the Heart and Spirited Away. Other mentions would be Princess Mononoke and Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind.
Tbh this is me with so many little kids’ shows that I loved when I was younger. But besides that, a bk series I always come back to no matter what is The Land of Stories by Chris Colfer. I just love the way it was written and I only had the first book for the longest time, but I’ve reread it so many times it has tape all over it and the pages are brown with age I still reread the Keeper of the Lost Cities series by Shannon Messenger, the Oklahoma Wastelands trilogy by Kate L. Mary, and The Other Wolf series by Heather G. Harris too. I actually just finishing rereading the last one for the second time haha. I’m currently trying to reread the Wolves of the Beyond series by Kathryn Lasky.
As for movies, my family has watched Uncle Buck so many times we literally have most of it memorized. It has been ingrained in our heads for the longest time, me since I was super little (with the exception of a couple scenes), and we actually quote it on a daily basis I’d say. Sometimes accidentally, that’s how much it is part of our brains XD My mom and I actually just watched it again yesterday! I finally realized when ppl ask me what my favorite movie is, that UB was undoubtedly the answer lol. We pretty much watch it whenever we can, I can’t explain why it never gets old, but yeah.
(I have way too many songs or tv shows to name here lol but-)
For some reason I’ve spent the last week rewatching old scooby doo movies (the good ones). The amount of things you miss as a kid omg And some of it is hella dark ;-;
