I sort of agree. I don't want every episode to have a big reset button and nothing ever has consequences, like in The Simpsons or something. Definitely not when it comes to dramas. But I don't like how everything is serialized now either.

Used to be you could (re)watch a single episode from the middle of a random season and it would be fine. Even if there was a larger plot for that season. Can't really do that with more recent shows.

[(Anonymous)]

Episodic dramas are timeless and always fashionable, even if the people funding tv forget that.

[(Anonymous)]

I like episodic shows but not the full reset - slow season arcs through episodic stories is great, though. X-Files did this pretty well, I thought. Even when the mytharc episodes changed things about the status quo, monster of the week episodes still kept on.

[(Anonymous)]

I think it's popular opinion in fandom. At least in my circle.
...
Which made me realize that I prefer arcs and absolutely do not care for episodic nature.

[(Anonymous)]

There's something very relaxing about episodic television. It's low stakes. You don't have to remember a detail from six episodes ago to understand what's happening. If the show is on hiatus or you take a break you don't have to do a re-watch before jumping back in again because it doesn't matter what happened in the last episode you saw. You can just enjoy it without stress.

That said, I prefer shows that are in-between: semi-episodic but with some longer term arcs and lasting character development.

[(Anonymous)]

This ... is only something I tolerate with shows that have two things going for them. First, I have to actually like the status quo they keep inevitably resetting to (which pretty much rules out all the schlubby dumb husband / hot otherwise intelligent wife combinations that were SO common for a while). Second, I expect them to actually do the work of showing how things went back to the way they'd been. When it's an asspull where the audience gets to be the only people who don't have amnesia, I tend to get uncomfortable pretty fast and leave.

I never had a problem with this setup being fun for other people, though.

I didn't come out of that movie shipping anyone. Huh. Didn't think about that till now.

I am still going to say that she totally could have had hate sex with Forge

[(Anonymous)]

I kind of ship her and that undead assassin. He's cute and they *understand* each other.

[(Anonymous)]

I say ship her with everyone. "You're an idiot but fine, I'll fuck you" with Forge. The shapeshifting chase scene with Doric imagined as romantic/sexual. Some AU where she and Xenk know each other or end up on the same side somehow. Wizard vs. wizard with Simon -- maybe she doesn't die but is demagicked and in Simon's custody. Weird adoptive aunt vibes/evil grooming or apprenticeship with Kira.

I miss self-insert fics in general. Not that I read many of them, but I do enjoy writing them and sometimes I feel "cringe" for writing something everyone else kind of frowns upon.

Not that self-insert hate is anything new, I just wish certain fandoms of mine were more tolerant of it.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't miss them, but I get it. I definitely went through that phase where every fic I wrote was a thinly veiled self insert fic. Sometimes not even veiled, just blatant out there self insert. I have a weird mix of embarrassment and fondness thinking back on those stories.

Part of me understands this. The part of me that thinks about accesibility/ADA compliance online ends up kicking in if I consider this approach, though.

I didn't go here, but I always remember feeling like Christian was kind of a dick? Like mean to people and just eugh to deal with? Am I wrong? Has he matured? Am I making this up? He always gave me the impression of being mean
I don't know.

So is blorbo supposed to be sarcastic or self mocking or is it supposed to be 100% genuine? Because I've seen arguments both ways.

Honestly either way I hate it. I haven't seen a fandom term/concept that I automatically hate so much in many years, so congrats on that fandom!
