What did you recently try that you couldn't stand?

Roasted beets. They just taste like dirt to me, and I so want like them, but...yeah. Taste like dirt.

I just watched the first 5 episodes of The Rising Shield Hero, the new mega-popular anime.

Man, it sucks. It has a modicum of potential by trying to subvert some of the elements in RPG stories, but its treatment of women is terrible. (Can't believe I just typed that, but seriously.) Super icky.

I've been browsing heaps of scanlations lately, reading lots of obscure isekai, and there's some real hot messes in there. Filtering down to the shojo gets me free of most of the perv-pandering panty shots, but there was one where every second page was "I've been reborn as a fat girl! I'm fat! This is the worst thing ever! Being fat is so disgusting! I'm so fat and disgusting! I'm sweaty and gross and smelly because I'm fat!" and I just had to nope the fuck outta there.

ginger orange yogurt. which didn't taste like ginger or orange.

The Name of the Wind. People LOVE that book. It read like the average stuff people handed in in my college workshops, not awful but in need of some serious restraint.

A really bad tapioca pudding. I used to love my mom's growing up. We bought some at the store, but it was really gross.

Watched the first 4 episodes of Titans. I was setting ten to one odds I'd find it bad, and was not surprised. I find it obvious, meandering, often cloying, and over the top, with mediocre acting and some terrible special effects. The fact that it can be a little bit gritty and the characters can swear is just enough of a bright spot to make it feel utterly wasted on a C-grade show.

I read the first 20K or so of a really bland Johnlock fic, in which Sherlock is a young, inexperienced aristocrat aboard a Regency era passenger ship and John is one of the ship's crewmen. I very much wanted it to be good (which is why I stuck around so long, hoping it would improve) but it wasn't good at all. There was almost no characterization to speak of, and very little plot apart from Generic-Love-Interest!John and MarySue!Sherlock falling madly in love and both angsting that they're not good enough for the other. (Which are things I'm totally here for, if there's also a plot and good characterizations, but alas, there was not.)
