Wednesday DE: Dedication

[ostro_goth]

 Now for something completely different: you are giving a copy of your canon(s) to somebody who has never seen / read / heard it: what do you write in dedication?

Brought to you by my giving' 'Struggle for Rome' to my nephew, with the recommendation to a) read the afterword first, no matter how boring, and b) Not to be too impressed by Teja. He's a little small-g goth as it is, and the gothiest Goth who ever gothed might tip him right off his rocker...

Star Wars: I know there's a lot but that means you can find something to suit your every mood from lighter fare like Clone Wars to Rogue One. Find what you like best.

October Daye: Toby is depressed in the first few books, things never get easier but she starts being less alone.

X-Men: Feel free to ignore any canon you don't like, the actual canon does that and don't worry if someone dies.

Old Kingdom: There are new books, more books than before.

Discworld: You don't have to like it all, we all have our favorite parts.

Robin Hood: So many options in terms of genre and quality, find which one you like best.

3:10 to Yuma: Don't look for progressive ideas of the West here but instead intense characters and violence, from the same director as Logan-not as violent

Vorkosigan: Miles is a disaster, Barrayar has issues, the women are the best part

Greek Mythology: Everyone's awful and most Classic literature is just mythology fanfic

Narnia: Religion is present, great worldbuilding, might not work for everyone

Clone Wars: This series will make you love the Prequel era and add so much more emotional weight to Anakin's fall and the break up with Obi-Wan.

Rebels: Hold on to your feels.

Knights of Sidonia: Okay, there's a lot of bad fan service, but the space battles are cool and there are horror elements mixed with space kaiju.

Iron Fist: So many things wrong, but the man child hero is refreshing for once, cause he's idealistic rather than just a skirt chaser.

The Gifted: Ever wanted to see how the early days of the X-men dystopia might play out? Well look no farther.

Cabaret: One of the most depressing musicals you will ever see. Enjoy!

True Blood: If you get bored or confused, just fast forward to the parts with Eric and Pam. You'll thank me later.

Preacher: Do you like vampires, blasphemy, blood and gore, and terrible people? Then this is the series for you!

Vikings: It's like Game of Thrones without the dragons and with some tenuous ties to actual history.
