What I'm watching and reading

[krytella]

 TV Shows:

• Black Sails: haven't made it through s1 yet, which I have on good authority is the point when you fall in love with it. I was supposed to watch it with my housemate but we were never home at the same time and then she moved out so trying to remember to watch by myself. Ready for those queer anticapitalist pirates tho
• The Expanse: also dormant, partway through season 2
• Wynonna Earp: blew through everything on Netflix fast and have to wait for the next season to drop. Still grumpy that there isn't enough Wynonna/Doc/Dolls on the ao3.
• Supergirl: I think I was watching s3 and kind of forgot? I'm just so. Tired. Of hearing about Mon-El.
• The Flash: I gave up somewhere mid-s2 and it felt like I'd watched at least 3 seasons at that point. The romantic drama is annoying and the repeated secret-keeping for drama is annoying. Then someone linked to a Flash/Captain Cold fic and there were like 20k words that were So Good For Me and I tried to read all the fic and it ranged from unreadably terrible to, like, enjoyable but not super well written. I've found exactly one story I thought was genuinely good and it's comics-verse. Maybe I'm going back? Idk, I did rewatch all the s1 and s2 episodes with Leonard Snart in them with the idea I would write something, who knows.
• Legends of Tomorrow: started because I hear it gets funner and bi protagonist, spoiled myself on the end of s1 and due to aforementioned Flash stuff I'm too resentful of what I know happens at the end of s1 to watch those episodes, oops
• GBBO: I watch this with housemate 3. I cheated and watched series 3 without her since it's on Netflix now and I resent that there are several slash fics about it and only 2 in the world about the best GBBO RPF ship which is obvs Selasi/Andrew. The power of ~two white dicks~ I guess.
• PoI: was watching like a year ago with housemate who moved out and we just lost steam when a certain thing happened in s3. Haven't felt very ficcish about it.

Books:

• I've got book 2 of the Expanse series but still haven't started it
• Been reading book 8 of Malazan Book of the Fallen for about 500 years. Well, about 5 years. Someday I'll finish the damn series.
• The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms: just starting
• A million different nonfiction books I'm partway through

Fic:

• As mentioned above, I'm now on "141 - 160 of 436 Works in Leonard Snart" sorted by kudos. Thanks, I hate it.
• Reading new HP fic as I come across it in rec lists, basically just H/D. Weirdly that was never my main ship back in the day but it's aged better, I suppose because the characters can age, unlike my OTP, who are dead. Thanks, I hate it.
• Occasional Star Wars involving TFA characters as recced or written by a few writers I follow.
• Read all the Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries fic I could find that I thought would be to my taste a while back. There wasn't nearly enough for me. I enjoy Phryne and Jack in canon but the only thing I'm interested in fic is her topping the fuck out of him and there is not a lot out there.
• Me trying to find Wynonna Earp Doc/Dolls fic and only seeing a million WayHaught stories: "Is this what femslash fans feel like the rest of the time?"

Vids:
Watched some festivids based on recs.

Oh man, I was so into Wynonna Earp in S1, and I shipped that OT3, but then I fell behind and the fandom was all about the canon f/f (for once, and more power to them!). Once I heard later spoilers, I just wasn't that invested in catching up, and I never ended up writing any fic.

Someone lured me into The Flash for Cisco/Harry, which I love, but now I'm sad because we're on to yet another Wells.

I stopped and restarted The Flash and now I'm extremely confused about everything in the fandom. Especially the ever-changing Wells. I haven't grown to love Harry enough to ship him with someone, but I'm down for some fluffy Cisco/Barry or Cisco/any dude really. I yell at the TV when the writers have him do something I don't approve of because Cisco is my perfect son.
