Television

I don't like binging TV. I want to wonder what's coming next, and write fic that gets shot all to hell in the next episode. A lot of my online friends came from Open on Sunday, and I still miss that prompt-based, short fic style with a specific fandom associated.

D loves binging. He hates spoilers, so he wants to get through it all asap to find out the story.

We have met in the middle, watching 1-2 episodes a night about twice a week, depending on the length of the episode. We started with Bridgerton during Covid to bond with a friend we couldn't see. We got through Sex Ed (our friend died before we finished), and we just finished S1 of Insatiable.

Holy crap that show is messy. I love it so much. Weird, raunchy, wrong on so many levels, EVERYONE needs therapy or potentially prison. I haven't started reading the fic yet, but I"m sure it's coming.

I can't binge-watch, either. It spoils my enjoyment if I try to cram too much in. Two eps is my limit. One is better.

I gave up on Bridgerton. Too anachronistic.

That week in between episodes was always so good for me fandom wise. All the inspiration and hype for writing.

I tried to watch Sex Ed, but the secondhand embarrassment was too much for me. Maybe I need to give it another shot.
