Hmm, I'll take a look. Thank you!

In terms of making real friends, Discworld! I'm not an active fic creator or consumer, but the people I met through Discworld are people I can talk to about just anything!

What font is this?

My review of the books as a fan:

4th + 5th - truly excellent epic fantasy
3rd, 6th, 9th and 11th - very good
12-14th books - Brandon Sanderson
1st, 2nd, and 7th books - OK
8th and 10th books - we do not speak of them

I have one! Technically it's my mom's lol. So far, I'veade a few things in there (like frozen gyoza). I've had air fryer chicken and it's pretty good. I'm planning on trying to make banana bread this weekend in it, so I'll let you know. But I need to mess around with it more. I just don't trust it fully lol

Never been to LV, but I've been to Denver/surrounding area and Colorado is just beautiful.

9-1-1. All you really need to know is that the characters are mainly firefighters, with some paramedics and cops, and they respond to all sorts of crazy accidents/emergencies.

The main pairing is Buck/Eddie, which I've seen compared to Steve/Bucky before (although I can't say how accurate that is since I'm personally not familiar with them). Buck is a firefighter who's kind of a lost puppy (pretty much his entire character arc is trying to figure out who he is/what he wants), and Eddie is a firefighter and Army vet/medic who is a single dad to a special needs son, Christopher. Eddie doesn't appear in the show until season 2, and he and Buck become best friends pretty quickly. Eddie and Christopher kind of adopt Buck into their family, and they have a pretty domestic situation going on. The fans like to call Buck Christopher's second dad, and even the actor who plays Buck has described Buck as a co-parent. There's speculation that the pairing could become canon (both actors and some of the writers are in favor of it, but some are not, so there's a bit of disagreement behind the scenes and no one really knows at this point where it's going to go).

There are various plot points that come up in fics at times, but that basic info should be enough to understand most fics.

Yeah. This is basically me too. Hate it so much, and wish people actually connected instead of just memeing the same damn thing 500 times. I'm guilty as well.

That...actually makes me want to watch the show. But I'll definitely check out the fic. Thank you!

This one, I think:

https://www.1001fonts.com/concert-one-font.html

Thank you for the food recs. You know what I am about. XD I am sharing this list with my sister.

Okay,aside from MCU, the carousel of my fandoms include:

My Hero Academia (you can go in pretty blind, kinda get the gist by the fics themselves). Obviously, it varies depending on your pairings, but there's so many characters. I even found fic for the dog man and the tree dude! Anything you're into, you'll find.

Jujutsu Jaiden
AI should specify that I'm super into OC or Self Inserts with het pairings. So what I've found tends to be around that. But there's plenty of slash pairings if you're into that too (in both fandoms I've listed). You want (all of these guys are hot) an arrogant overpowered jerk but ridiculously pretty and kind of ridiculous as a person? Gojo! You want the kind of man who kills for a living and has a lot of trauma and will probably throw you out when he's done with you, but you'd still go running back like a dog if he called? Toji! (I've got a really sweet fic about him though that I just love!!! It's super cute and features the youths of the show as babies basically because Toji is a dad of one of them: https://archiveofourown.org/works/37346839/chapters/93276784#workskin). Want the dude who will probably kill you and only cares for his vision (but damn he's tall and broad shouldered and long haired)? Getou! Want the only guy who will probably treat you well and is kind of over everything but actually cares? Nanami!

Other fandoms that have some really good pairings, even if they're not what I tend to read:
- The Mandalorian (Djin, Boba Fett, personally I enjoyed the one where Fennec is in love with OC, but OC is in a contract with Boba to give him babies and then Djin shows up and DjinxOCxBoba because DxB happens too)
- attack on Titan
- Harry Potter (yes, yes, but I've really gotten into time travelling Hermione trying to divert Tom Riddle from becoming full on evil; I'll recommed Altered State)
- overwatch (so many characters I don't even go here anymore lol)
- Inuyasha (for some throw back. I think Sands of Time or something is just a key long read Sess/Kag)
- Bleach
- Castlevania (I'm here for the Alucard stuff. I'll link the one I started reading)

I don't actually participate in these fandoms, but I have read fics based on tags and they've been good
- devil may cry
- dragon age (I do actually read slash in this one)

I went there about 7 or 8 times in the '00s and there are tons of shows there (I don't gamble) and pretty much any kind of entertainment, especially music, you want to enjoy. The food was great too, the only reason I don't go there is anymore because it got a lot more expensive.

I agree with you that there's a kind of black and white mindset when it comes to this subject, and it could be a bit more nuanced. I definitely think there are a lot of issues with policing (and the US justice system as a whole, but that's a much bigger topic) that need to be addressed.

My local police department is a complete mess and were involved in the murder of an innocent Black person, which made national headlines, and seems to be full of corrupt cops. We have a family friend, who's an actual good cop, who is thinking of leaving and doing something else because he can't handle the environment/culture anymore.

That said, I also love police/detective shows. In the ones I watch (I know there are ones with morally gray or however you want to describe it cops, but I don't watch those) the cops (the main characters, anyway) are good guys, and the corrupt ones get caught and go to prison (or sometimes die). I know that's not how the real world works, and I don't look to them for reality. I watch them in basically the same way I watch fantasy shows...I know none of it is real, but as fiction, I like watching it.

I have one, and I do like it. I don't use it *that* often, but I like having it. I use it for basically anything that can be cooked in the oven, especially on holidays/special occasions when we're having a meal with multiple different dishes/sides, and the oven is being used for something else. And mine has a "keep warm" setting so you can just leave something in there and keep it warm while other things are still cooking in the oven/on the stovetop/whatever.

Or if I'm just cooking for myself and I don't feel like dealing with the oven (the air fryer heats up much quicker), especially in the summer when I don't want to heat the entire kitchen.

It's also really good for any sort of fried frozen food that would be sold in the "appetizer" section of the grocery store (like fries, breaded cheese sticks, etc.) because it's somewhat better than the oven and *way* better than the microwave at keeping them crispy.

I know you can apparently make cakes and desserts and all sorts of other things with it, but I haven't tried that yet. I might need to, though.

Seconding Teen Wolf. I've seen about...40 minutes of this show but it's pretty easy to understand who the characters are (just read cast descriptions on Wikipedia or something.)

Yeah, I have mixed feelings about the "anything can happen" sentiment, because you can't force things to happen, no matter how hard you try.

ayrt

If you're up for watching a new show, I'd definitely recommend it! There are a ton of Buck/Eddie (the ship name is Buddie) videos on YouTube if you want to get a feel for things. It's nothing new or groundbreaking, but it's really fun! Most of the characters are great, the canon ships are mostly enjoyable, and there's a found family aspect that I always enjoy.

There's also the spinoff, 9-1-1: Lone Star, which takes place in Austin, TX (the original is set in LA) and is also about firefighters/paramedics/cops and the crazy situations they respond to. The main ship for it is TK/Carlos, which is actually canon, and has a ton of fic. TK is a firefighter/paramedic who moved to Texas from NYC with his dad (who's the fire captain), and Carlos is a cop who was born and raised in Texas (and his dad is a Texas Ranger). My favorite ship for the show, though, is actually TK's dad and a police sergeant who works with Carlos but the sergeant is a recurring character who's only in a handful of episodes and I'm basically the only one who ships it lol. There are some really good canon ships, too (I love Judd, who is a firefighter, and his wife Grace, who is a 911 operator).

Lone Star is much more of a character drama (there are even episodes without any emergencies at all, that focus just on what's going on with the characters) and some fans of the original don't like Lone Star and call it a soap opera lol. They're definitely different in some ways (although I like both) but Lone Star also has some great characters and a really good found family aspect like the original.

This is honestly the most clear-headed take I've read online. I appreciate it.

I'm not from the US, and I'm well aware of how fucked up things are with the police just as much as I've seen them help above and beyond what was expected of them. Both things can be mutually true.

Blakes 7 was a lot of fun for me back in the day, until it wasn't. After that, probably Hetalia.

Honestly, a Mario/Luigi/Peach fic where Mario is caught between his between his brother and his princess sounds good. It would end happily with a threesome and a polyamory arrangement, of course.

Thanks!

Forgot to mention the great Yakuza Video game series! Got into the fandom because of a secret here featuring Kiryu, ended up reading a shit ton of fic of only Majima lol

Denver is a tiny bit higher because the weather should not be so miserable.

Ah dang. Hoping for a cheap trip. Vegas had cheap tickets which is why it was a contender.
