Fandom Snowflake Challenge #5

[tjs_whatnot]

And look, it only took me 8 days to fall painfully behind. EEK.

Challenge #5

In your own space, promote a canon/talk about a part of canon that you love.

Remember back in the day, the Promo Posts where someone would try and convince you to check out a new fandom? Those were great, yeah.

So, allow me to Introduce You to Miranda Hart


I love her so much! Who she is as a person, what she stands for, her heart, her humor. The best way to get to know her is through her show, aptly called Miranda.

A story about an awkward girl who finds ways to enjoy life even if it’s not conventional.



She starts each show introducing us the audience to what’s going on in her life, and throughout the shenanigans, she often breaks the 4th wall and confides in us.



She has a group of friends: her bestfriend Stevie who helps run the joke shop she owns--and bought to annoy her mother.



Her fruit friends and veggiepals. ♥



She has an overbearing mother who just wants her to get married and have Such Fun!



And finally, she has the guy that works at the restaurant next door and who she’s known since college who is very fun to look at, and is as goofy as she is in a lot of ways.



Who loves to have Duck and Caterpillar Races:



Who does the Cold Bed Dance with Miranda when they have sleepovers and occasionally sweeps her off her feet:



And who thinks:



*sigh*

And if you're thinking the boy looks familiar, yes, that is Lucifer. But, here's a visual explanation of teh differences between the two characters:


♥
And if you think the premise of the show sounds familiar, yes, they just remade this for American audiences in a show called "Call me Kat," that I won't even contemplate for this post. *shivers*

It's available on Hulu in the US. It's only 20 episodes long, and it's the thing I would direct people to if they wanted to get to know what type a person I am without saying anything.

Watch it now; thank me later.

And then, after you've watched and fallen in love, sign up for her newsletter (you can find it in the link above) and have little nuggets of awesome delivered to your inbox. Follow her on Instagram because she is awesome and occasionally does these vids she calls Chambles--Chatty Rambles--that are magical. Also, for more fun, you could Buy her book "Daily Doses of Such Fun: 365 Joy filled tasks to make your life more engaging, fun, caring and jolly. I've done a few. It was a jolly good time. ♥ ♥

You will NOT be disappointed. ❤❤

Also, hi! Thank you so much for your Happy New Year post card! You are the VERY best and I don't deserve you! ❤❤

Is Miranda on Netflix?

I'm a bit behind on Snowflake too. I have also fallen behind on responses! But anymore I'm so used to getting 2-4 comments on DW/LJ in a span of four days that I was not prepared for loads of comments in the span of seven hours. Then I procrastinated on responding. Whoops.

[tjs_whatnot]

She is on Hulu and someone, somewhere said she was on IMDB tv, but I haven't checked that. ❤❤

Right? Being inundated with comments is awesome, but takes some getting used to. ❤❤

[spikedluv]

That looks like such fun! (And I recognized Tom Ellis even though I don't watch Lucifer. He's quite striking. *g*)

(I had planned to give the US version a try, but the previews for it really turned me off. o_O)

I'm putting this on my list. I can't do streaming services, but I'll figure out a way to watch it. Maybe my library has it?!!!

(I got behind, too. Had to do a 3-challenge catch-up post.)

[tjs_whatnot]

If your library doesn't, let me know, I ~might~ have it all on my DropBox and will remind myself how to share. If your library does have it, you have an awesome library and I want to live there. ❤❤

Tom Ellis is very easy on the eyes. 😍😍

Miranda's brilliant isn't she, so funny, but she can also do serious too.

She's sadly just lost her dog it was announced this morning somismtaking some time away.

Thank you for sharing.

[tjs_whatnot]

I just saw about her dog. 😭😭😭

I tend not to enjoy television comedies, but I very much enjoyed Miranda Hart in Call the Midwife.

[tjs_whatnot]

Yeah, I wish I could tell you it's different than other tv comedies, because it's not really. There is a lot about tv comedies that this show does (physical comedy, bodily function talk) that on any other show would have me running away from as fast as I can, but I don't know, there's something about her that makes it all okay. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

[that_mireille]

In general, it's just not a genre I enjoy. (I like standup--well, depending on the standup, but I can definitely find standup I like--so it's not "comedy," it's specifically TV comedies.)

But I do like her, so possibly when someone else in my household really wants to watch a comedy, I'll suggest that.

[corvidology]

Miranda is brilliant and Call Me Kat is atrocious!

[tjs_whatnot]

My sister and I were just talking about if we hadn't seen and loved Miranda so much, if we'd like it, and we honestly couldn't decide. It's better when it doesn't try so very hard to be Miranda, but it has a lot of work to do to make it its own and I'm just so biased.

[wenchpixie]

I do so love Miranda

[tjs_whatnot]

She's a huge part of what got me through last year. ❤❤
