yuletide | Yuletide Fandom Promo 2024!

Welcome to the Fandom Promo post, everyone!

Here's where you get those eyes on your fandoms for sign-ups!

Share what makes your Yuletide fandoms the shiniest and why you love them. A big part of Yuletide is how small our fandoms can be, and this is a good way to make sure other people know what gems there are out there!

What is it, in summary?:

What do you love about it?:

What sort of things are you likely to request for it?:

This is at your discretion and is not expected to be comprehensive

(Bonus options: What are you thinking of requesting for this? If you're thinking of nominating worldbuilding, what sort of worldbuilding topics might people explore?)

Useful tip (Not required, but helps people if they want to engage with your fandom!):

- It's best to make each fandom its own entry with its own title in the subject line! That makes it easier for people to find/see what you're promoting! Don't worry about 'spam', that is the entire point of this entry and you're using it exactly as intended.

Title:僕らのミクロな終末 | Bokura no Micro na Shuumatsu | The End of The World With You (TV)

Media: TV show

Approx length: 8 episodes, 25 minutes each

Where to find it: In Japanese at https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/dp/B0B6QNXSW1 or streaming on https://www.viki.com/tv/39229c-the-end-of-the-world-with-you

What is it, in summary?: An asteroid is going to hit Earth in 10 days and kill everyone; Masumi goes to the library and runs into his ex, Ritsu, who shattered his heart and broke his spirit ten years ago. One thing leads to another, they end up on a roadtrip to take home a teenager who'd gone to the ex's house to commit suicide after the idol he adored killed herself. There are a lot of coincidences but also magical realism (outright magic? /has an asteroid-sized tinhat about this), so it all works. The story is very much about suicide and the effect someone's suicide has on their friends and family, and about choosing hope even at the worst time.

What do you love about it?: I love how the four roadtripping characters (broken-hearted Masumi, suicidal asshole Ritsu, superfan Yuma who was devastated by idol Madoka's death, and Madoka's crossdressing brother Meguru) support each other, fight and make up, and ultimately all make it home before the end of the world. I love the way magic works, both to end the world and save it.

What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: Missing scenes from canon, post-canon speculation (does the world end or not? What exactly is Yuma?), Ritsu/Masumi, Yuma/Meguru (Yuma finding Meguru's Instagram, or taking pictures...)

Are there sections of canon (rather than the whole canon) that can be consumed by themselves to fulfil your requests, or that showcase particular characters and relationships?: No (IMO the manga is mostly the same as the show, but I'm not sure it's available in translation)

Content warnings (ie, rape, incest, racism, gore/violence): Suicide, suicidal thoughts, child abuse, homophobia, injury

This sounds very cool and I have Viki. Will look into it!
