 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.

I started watching Leverage about three weeks ago.

I am now approaching the end of season 3.

So, that happened.

And also the searching ao3 for Hardison/Parker/Eliot and Hardison/Eliot fic, searching by reverse date posted, and clicking on everything that doesn't look bad. The ao3 tells me I have viewed about 160 Leverage fics since Jan 21. Um.

I have some observations:

I finally bought and read the first trade of Sex Criminals. I'd read the first issue when it was free online, and I saw Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky at a panel on it in March last year despite not actually having read it. So far, love it. The female protagonist's origin story is especially well-done for something written by men. Her sexuality isn't a stereotype. And it's about sex, and funny, but it doesn't laugh at people's sexuality.

Also rewatched the first truly social justice oriented episode of Criminal Minds, "Legacy" from season 2. The killer in the episode is completely underdeveloped as a character, but that's balanced by how much focus they put on the victims and on the local cop that brings them in. This is the episode where the local police captain wants them to go away, because homeless people, drug users, and street sex workers "can't disappear."

Hotchner: "What if they were cheerleaders?"
Captain Wright: "Excuse me?"
Hotchner: "Or teachers, or mothers. How did you put it, 'can bums even be missing'? Well, sir, they can. They can be hurt, they can be scared, and they can be killed."

One of the things I appreciate about Criminal Minds is the relative realism of types of victims and law enforcement response. The serial killers with the highest body counts prey upon vulnerable people who won't be reported to police. That's a prominent feature of this case and the later one that's loosely based on the Pickton murders.
