It’s my annual tradition in December to write up a list of my favorite media that I consumed throughout the year, that was released that year (here’s my 2014 edition). This is a HIGHLY subjective list, and is made up of stuff that I liked the most out of the stuff I got to experience. As the title says, it’s not a “best of” list, it’s the stuff that tickled me the most, that excited me the most, that gave me joy, so basically, the stuff that rocked my world this year. Each category is made up of a top 5 that I list alphabetically, and then I include honorable mentions, to round things out. I do this every year as an exercise to reflect on the things that I took in throughout the year (which I try to log regularly here), and by sharing it, it can act as a recommendation sheet of things I’d tell anyone that they should check out.

Also, I do often update the list up until January, as I’ll often have forgotten to include something, or to add stuff that I’ll be experiencing over the coming weeks.

Favorite Games
I usually have a separate category for mobile games, but I found that over the past year I’ve rarely been playing games that way. It’s not to say that there aren’t some great games that came out on mobile (like Lara Croft GO, which I’ve included below), but I didn’t end up playing enough of them to warrant a separate list. 

• Destiny: The Taken King(PS4)
  
• Mario Kart 8 (DLC Pack 2) (Wii U)
• Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain(PS4)
• Splatoon (Wii U)
• Xenoblade Chronicles X (Wii U)

Honorable Mentions: Broken Age(Mac), Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture(PS4),Galak-Z: The Dimensional(PS4),Grim Fandango Remastered(PS4/Vita),Her Story(Mac),Journey(PS4),Lara Croft GO(iOS),N++(PS4),Super Mario Maker (Wii U), The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D(3DS),Undertale(Mac)

Favorite TV
As I continue to move away from watching things on a weekly basis (with a few exceptions), instead preferring to wait for a full season to be done, you’ll probably find my choices to be light on things that launched in the fall.

• Game of Thrones
• Mad Men
• Master of None
• Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
• Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp

Honorable Mentions: Ash vs. Evil Dead,Better Call Saul,Louie, Marvel’s Daredevil,Saturday Night Live,Sense8,Shameless,Star Wars Rebels,The Comeback Kid (John Mulaney stand-up special)

Favorite Movies
Let’s face it, there’s a very good chance that The Force Awakens will join this list. Or maybe it won’t. (Edit: It has.) Also, I’m noticing that I didn’t watch a lot of new movies this year (I watched a lot of movies, but not really stuff that was released this year). And I keep wanting to watch Ex Machina, which I think I’ll really like. (Edit: I did.)

• Ex Machina
• Mad Max: Fury Road
• SPECTRE
• The Assassin
• The Force Awakens

Honorable Mentions: Chappie,Hotel Transylvania 2,Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck, Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., The Martian, Walt Disney Animation Studios Short Films Collection

Favorite Music
I had a really hard time coming up with a favorite 5 in this category – my only clear favorite albums this year were California NightsandIbeyi. I did love a ton of great records this year though, and I could easily have added more to my “Honorable Mentions” list, but tried to keep it relatively short.

• California Nights (Best Coast)
• Ego Death (The Internet)
• Ibeyi(Ibeyi) 
• I Want to Grow Up (Colleen Green)
• No Cities to Love(Sleater-Kinney)

Honorable Mentions: Acorn Man (Wild Billy Childish & CTMF), Art Angels(Grimes),Before the World Was Big(Girlpool),Brace the Wave (Lou Barlow), Currents (Tame Impala), Depression Cherry (Beach House), Eurydice(Moonsocket),Every Open Eye(Chvrches),In Color (Jamie XX), Magnifique(Ratatat),Slowtown Now! (Holly Golightly), Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit (Courtney Barnett), Teens of Style (Car Seat Headrest), Thank Your Lucky Stars (Beach House), Time to Go Home (Chastity Belt), V(Wavves)

Favorite Comics 
As I say every year, I tend to read serialized stuff throughout the year, and then catch up on great graphics novels at the end of the year and beyond (for example, I haven’t read Adrian Tomine’s Killing and Dying yet, which I’m sure I’ll love), but here’s what I can say are most of my favorite things I was reading this year.

• Billy Bat
• Drawn & Quarterly: Twenty-Five Years of Contemporary Cartooning, Comics, and Graphic Novels
• Inuyashiki
• Southern Bastards
• The Multiversity

Honorable Mentions: Avengers/New Avengers (written by Jonathan Hickman), Doctor Strange, Head Lopper,James Bond, Star Wars comics (Star Wars, Darth Vader,Lando,Kanan), Stray Bullets: Sunshine and Roses, Sunny,The Goddamned,The Legacy of Luther Strode,Vision, Zero

You look so pretty when you’re sleeping. I just couldn’t control myself.

Heyy ummm… thinking about size kink stuff… I want to be made to feel absolutely tiny. You don’t actually have to be much bigger than me at all, just put me on my knees or straddle me and lean over me. Show me how huge your cock is compared to my little hole, hold it up against my tummy and show me how deep it will go. Tell me I’m little, tell me I’m so small compared to you and watch my brain melt.

Push your cock in, you don’t have to be slow. I’m already so wet you don’t have to worry about actually tearing me, but I’ll feel like you’re splitting me in half anyways. How couldn’t I? Your cock is huge, it’s so, so thick and my cunt is so small. Hold my chin in your hands, bigger than mine I’m sure, and look into my eyes. Laugh at me, tell me how tight I am around you and how my little pussy makes a great fleshlight.

Hold me by my hips so you can use me like a toy. Make me feel like I’m nothing compared to you and pull me down to meet your cock. My eyes will roll back in my head and my mouth will drop open. I’m too dumb to think when you get me like this, I’m insignificant. You could break me so easily, you could crush me but instead you indulge me in what I need because it helps you get off.

Call me your little one, little boy, tiny little thing. Tell me I’m so small there’s no way to avoid hitting my cervix. You’d probably bruise it by fingering me, you can’t imagine how much your cock is abusing it. I’ll love every second, I promise. I bet when I cum my cunt is almost unbearably tight.

Just make me feel small

I want you to lose yourself because of me. Let’s lie down together for an hour while my hand traces patterns across your skin and you lie their happy and content, feeling your mind slowly, almost imperceptibly slip away because of how good it feels to have my skin against yours. I want to know that you’re gone because my fingers make their way between your legs and you don’t even move, don’t even try to close them, you just spread them wider for me and open your mouth just enough to show me that you’re happy to use it if I ask you to. Let me shut everything off in that head of yours, baby. If you think my fingers feel nice against your skin, just think of how nice the rest of my body will feel pressed against you, inside of you, desperate to be as close as possible to you until I’m gasping for air and you’re just lying there with your eyes rolled back and drool glistening across your lips

Snowy Day Tea

• 4 tbsp black tea
• 2 tbsp cinnamon
• 2 tbsp orange peel
• 2 tbsp chamomile
• 1 tbs ginger
• 1 tsp clove buds

Okay but this is definitely my new favorite tea.

Ways to improve it though?

• Cardamom pods
• Fresh ginger and orange peels
• Fenugreek maybe?
• Swap out black tea with hot chocolate
