I thought to myself "He looks a bit like Tom Ellis," and now I can't unsee it.

Small spoilers for someone just at the very beginning of this book.







Yes, he's called the Darkling. I think it means he's a summoner of things dark (I'm in the first few chapters). He's also not currently the villain?

And I honestly thought they were endgame. Kind of like how, in Hunger Games, they set up Katniss and Gale in the first chapter, but she actually belonged with Peeta.

I've also been reading a lot of books with the Fae/magical creatures in them and the main female character ends up with the "dark" option who will let her explore her full and dangerous powers. So I guess that's what I thought would go on here. I guess we'll see?

I know that, obviously. But you can understand why it might be tempting to get into a new fandom just as it's blowing up, right?

I decided to start watching and I'm hooked! It's not exactly like The Untamed, but I can see why there's a lot of fandom overlap. I'll reserve full judgment until I've finished it, but so far I'm enjoying it a lot.

I get you, OP. I don't exactly seek out this podcast but I love listening to their banter every time I stumble across it.

I loved RuPaul's Drag Race, until season after season it wore me down and now I can't stand it. They're all immensely talented people, it's just that 90% of them are absolutely horrible people too.

That's Ben "Black Eyes, Like a Doll's Eyes" Barnes. But really, his eyes are so creepily dark.

Scott McCall was a pretty bland character. That's not a secret. My secret is that I actually really liked him. His main obstacle in life was that he wasn't very bright and he had to constantly work to overcome that both to be a leader and to try and realise his dreams of being a vet. For me, that was actually pretty refreshing in a male lead character.

Stiles is still my favorite though. XD

It’s episodic, and TV Tropes doesn’t have any entries for the last couple episodes. I also found a Let’s Play, but that hasn’t updated since episode 2.

I didn’t have the opportunity to watch The X Files the first time around. It’s been my latest binge and overall, really do get the love.

But I just got to the wrap-up of what happened to Samantha. I feel so sorry for anyone who had to wait 6-7 years for THAT.

this season finally broke me. I've been less interested since season...7 or 8? but this season I just cannot be arsed. I couldn't even remember anyone's name until about the fifth or sixth episode.

I multiship in my fandom. Each pairing has different nuances and I enjoy the different ways the characters bounce off each other. But there's one character I identify with personality wise. In all the pairings where he's not involved, the relationships are healthy and they enjoy each others company.

Any dynamic I write with him in it instantly turns dark. I struggle to write anyone wanting to be with him romantically.

This is a level of insight as to my own self-loathing that I could have done without.

I'm curious OP, what's the level of gay? And are you watching it on Netflix?

Re: OP

Ayrt - well heck if I make good on this I’ll happily post spoilers here in the future, OP! It sounds up my alley.

I made a secret second AO3 account.

I am going to use it for all the stuff I don't really want attached to 'my name'.

Looks like I'm writing A/B/O after all.

What's the line for tagging your fic as DD:DNE?

Is it:
- any dark content at all?
- or only dark content written with no in-story consequences (e.g. two brothers sleep together and everyone's totally cool with it, or rape with no fall out?)

It does seem like something that should have more of a fandom, assuming it doesn’t completely botch the ending. It’s got a gazillion “medals” for things like beating a bonus boss or finding a secret, and it looks like some of the medals may have a big impact on the plot. There were medals I had no idea how to get, so I’d love to see people discussing which medals they got and what they did.

(Then again, people discussed which choices they made in Mass Effect, and that was . . . less than popular in the end.)

My Toastmaster's club meeting just finished. I want to get up and get dinner. However, my cat is asleep on my leg, so I'm not allowed to move.

As much as I have always loved Mickey Milkovich's relationship with Ian Gallagher and as much as I have always disliked Lip Gallagher as a character, I still lowkey want Mickey and Lip to get shitfaced drunk and makeout.

But the real secret is that I want Lip to get even drunker and makeout with Ian.

I've found that probably a little over half the Untamed folks I know have tried out WoH. Many are very into it. Others, not so much. Personally, I don't find it anywhere near as engaging and the plot, so far, much more convoluted and harder to follow.

Not a writer, but I've never considered DD fic to be either of those.

For me, DD fic have to include torture, rape, or death. Or all three. And that content is the main focus of the fic.

Nothing. Just boring work.
