2021 Yearly Favorites

I've got to say, this year flew by for me. It was very stressful, very busy. Yet it faded into a memory before I could catch up. These are some of the stories and pieces of art I enjoyed this year, sort of in order. As usual, I'm not basing these rankings on objective quality, just enjoyment.
