I can’t really watch anything that doesn’t have a clear arc or start/stop point. Shows are just too long for me. Last thing I liked was Over the Garden Wall which is just a sliced up movie. Love movies though so its not an attention span thing.

People ask me what I do and I cook a lot and draw and read books and kiss my boyfriend. IDK when I would even watch shows lol.

But I tell people this and they can’t understand or get really weird interrogating me how I spend my free time. The happy version of this is some of my coworkers found out I really like dancing and now they ask me ‘are you going dancing this weekend?’ on Thursday or Friday.

    i tend not to read book series unless they are finished and i rarely watch shows, too

    i read a few of the rr martin books but never finished and i tell people ill finish them when george does

    also if your media is slice-of-life and it doesnt involve some kind of passionate romance then fuck off im tired of consuming only things that are violence and conflict and shit throw some people who have a fire between them in the mix there is enough pain and misery in the world we need glimpses of fleeting happiness and pleasure sometimes

      You should watch the anime Bunny Drop! It’s a 12 episode slice of life with a fulfilling emotional arc about a workaholic businessman who commits class suicide to become the caretaker for his recently deceased grandfathers heretofore unknown bastard 6 y/o daughter.

      There is 0 fan service and really beautiful portrayals of the joys and struggle of single parenting that resonated with me as an educator and child of divorce.
