Best of the 2010s: Everything Besides Music

 Kinda self explanatory. This covers everything from notable life experience to favorite movies, games to memes, streamers and favorite characters. For categories like movies and tv shows that can be divided into different categories I do what I did with music and have those individual categories and a combined one.

It's been a decade of plenty for me. I started off with a small music playlist and now I music for literal days between Spotify and my personal collection. I started out with only a couple posters and now I have enough to wallpaper an entire house practically. This isn't to mention the literal tens of thousands of pictures of artwork I've saved to my computer. I've been to all sorts of conventions and museums. And do I really need to talk about my collection of games on steam, which could keep me supplied for years with just what I have now. But I guess it was kind of a reaction to being freed from the college restrictions and the fact I was actually earning money. Plus in college we had a weekly cap on internet usage that I was freed from after I graduated. But it did teach me the benefits of living within my means and being content with what I have, whether it be physical space or otherwise. Though I didn't say I was actually good at it. It's been a good decade, despite it's downs and missed opportunities. 

I decided to keep this simple and let the lists more or less speak for themselves with only a little explanation or commentary here and there. But I have to note that not all the movies, tv shows, games, books, etc. came out in the 2010s. Many did but this was when I first discovered or was introduced to them so I consider them part of the decade for me.

Books/Book Series
To be honest most of these entries come from no later than 2016. I don't know for some reason I haven't had the motivation to actually pick up a book in a few years. Which is really bad if you're aiming to be a writer. Also I did cheat a bit by lumping together entire series.

Comics and Manga
The fact that this list isn't longer than it is is the reason why I'm running out of space in my room. I have so many manga lying around that I want to read but never actually get around to. Definitely have to remedy that in the 2020s.

1. Mahou Sensei Negima - Ken Akamatsu

Webcomics
I will admit that I've only read Moonstuck and Brawl in the Family to completion. The massive month to year long hiatuses that often happen with webcomics make it easy to fall off those wagons. Still, all of these were pretty great. But I will say some of these can be very dry at the start and it doesn't get good until the second chapter or so, I'm looking at you Homestuck.

1. Homestuck/MS Paint Adventures

Audio Books
There were a lot of other Conan the Barbarian stories I liked but didn't want the list to get more overwhelmed by them as is. Most of these can be found on youtube and spotify though a good number did come from my local library. Also if I remembered the names of the Big Finish Doctor Who audio stories I listened to this list would be overrun with them but as much as I liked them it would feel off to have such a vague entry in the main part of the list.

Horror Audio Books
Kinda got into listening to old horror stories after I first listened to War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells a few years ago. Also the fact I was rather sheltered from media of this genre means there's a slight mystique to it. Though I prefer the audio short stories over most other media forms of the genre. I'm sure there are others I've really enjoyed but have completely forgotten. And also the list is already 1/5 H. P. Lovecraft works so wanted to keep it to semi-reasonable levels.

2. The Shadow over Innsmouth - H. P. Lovecraft
3. The Horror in the Museum - H. P. Lovecraft

Favorite Cosplayers
It was mostly thanks to cosplay posts on Equestria Daily that I became a fan of cosplayers. These are some of my favorites from the decade. Not all of them are active and many have changed their names over the years. A couple have also simply dropped off the face of the internet, taking most of their work with them. I'm there are some I missed and some I would've actively followed if I'd been able to find out the names. But all of these are incredible artists who are very good at their craft.

Artist Exhibition
Ranking the artists like everything else here proved too monumental a task for my lazy self at this point. And well they're so different it's like comparing Bananas to Cement Mixers. So I decided to just be lazy and list some of my favorites below, divided by their primary subject matter in alphabetical order. This isn't all the notable artists I've run into over the decade just some of my faves. Not all of these artists are completely safe for work at times, especially in the Surreal/Horror section. Also not all of the artists have pages and some have kinda fallen off the face of the net, taking their art with them in some cases. But most of these can be found on deviantart or twitter. There's also the chance that some may have changed their names in the intervening time.

Brony/MLP Fandom Art
This section is so much larger than the others because of how active I was in following the art scene in the early years of the Brony fandom. But one artist I want to mention in particular is the enigmatic Moe. They showed up out of nowhere during the fandom's formative time. Back when season 1 was airing and they hadn't been kicked off 4chan yet. And despite being so early on some of their work still looks amazing, even compared to the long time fandom artists. It was more impressive back then since their stuff was light years ahead of pretty much anything else that was coming out of the fandom art-wise. Then just one day during the hiatus between season 1 and 2 they just vanished never heard from again.

Pokemon Artists
I have to note that while you can find most of these with ease of deviantart or twitter a few years ago Kaleidoskopic got rid of most of their old work, including drawings of every pokemon in the Gen 6 pokedex. So you'll have to do some digging for them.
