I get this. I began drinking after abstaining 100% only when I hit my late 20s because I was becoming more accepting of myself and less scared of how others would perceive me. I was a lesbian very very far into the closet, and also had a lot of mental and self image issues.
Then I began relying on alcohol a little bit too much and became a borderline alcoholic around my early 30s.
Now I don't drink at all if not a glass of red wine during very special celebrations. I can't really be trusted with alcohol. The sense of freedom it gives you really is intoxicating. I miss it almost every day, sigh.

I didn't realize this was a sad occasion

Re: What is something puzzling you in fandom?

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, but with human level sapience. And magic.

AYRT.

Oh yeah movie!Elrond is a completely different beast. I think he makes sense given what they were doing with the movies, but RoP Elrond is where it's at. THAT'S book Elrond to a T and I luv him.

Like for me I don't expect complete source-material fidelity because that can be hard, so long as it's getting The Vibes I'm cool and I love The Hobbit movies and RoP because they do get that for me even if bits of them are a bit wonky(mostly it's just some of the choices made but they're not so egregious for me I can't enjoy the adaptations for what they are).

DA My main issue is everyone is a lot less competent than in the books - I think most of the other changes are understandable to make it work as a TV show. Like, Murderbot does come off more emotional but that's because we can actually see its face, not just read its denials. But in the book there's a lot of Murderbot either saying it's incompetent or implying the crew is, and then we get to see them actually being super badass. In the show there's a lot more of everybody just bumbling around for real.

Also they've been pushing hard on the "Murderbot is ace because it doesn't have genitals" where I feel like the books were always careful to say Murderbot would be ace even if it was fully human, just like some humans are. And that leaves a bit of a sour taste.

It's so weird to be aggressive over Seinfeld secrets.

I'd make some quippy remark quoting the show but I didn't watch it enough to think of anything appropriate for the situation.

I feel like the whole crew is being character assassinated as incompetent hippy-dippy idiots, but particularly Mensah and Gurathin. I got the impression that Murderbot liked Mensah partially for her competence and because she remained calm and in control despite her heart-rate picking up, whereas in the show when she isn't having a panic-attack she's busy emoting at Murderbot and making it uncomfortable. And Gurathin...urgh, he comes across as a weasly creep, breaking into Mensah's room and sniffing her pillow. Blech!

Yup. EXACTLY. I just was so disappointed. And Pin-Lee is supposed to be this cool, collected, ruthless lawyer and she's just so...wishy-washy and kind of whiny or something, I dunno.
Just not enjoying.

I'm lucky in that I see them as completely different stories. I like the tv series for what it is and I love the books for what they are, but in my head they don't really crossover one with the other. I think it helps that what I really like the most is, as usual, fanfic.

[(Anonymous)]

wait, he's in this?

I'm just treating it as fanfic and it's working for me. And frankly, it's worth it just for the Sanctuary Moon clips. OH MY GOD *giggles helplessly*
