How can I be bad at watching TV? But I think I am. And I’m a bad writer cos I don’t write every day. And I’m bad at work cos I get distracted and I’m bad at life cos I don’t have grownup things I’m just not good at life.
I’ve been struggling with these feelings all day today despite watching things I like and even going outside. :(
Why is everything :( today?
Because Tuesdays are the worst ever.

I have been told that the Danish series is less grim. Wallender is still depressed, but it’s not, like, all grey and leeched of any joy at all.
It has to be. It’s not possible to be more depressing than this. I’ve only watched ONE episode. How can they possibly sustain that much grimness for eight more?
Hokay, I misremembered: it’s Swedish, not Danish. Somewhere, across an ocean (or, you know, in Minneapolis) a very tall Nordic woman just totally cursed me out in words involving a lot of umlauts.
Secondly, I kinda love Branagh as a hangdog copper. But truthfully, to cheer myself up after watching the first two eps, I had to marathon The Last Detective with Peter Davison, which is everything I could have ever wanted in a sweet and gentle muder mystery series about a depressed copper. Cos, you know, it’s Tristan from All Creatures, and the Doctor, and stuff

when you ship a ship so hard you don’t even care about the smut; you just want a billion page book about their entire lives beginning to end and how their lives are intertwined with one another’s and how beautiful their love is
#not that i’ll say no to the smut
YES. THIS. Some days, I wonder why it’s nigh impossible for me to find anything longer than 2k for most of* my ‘ships. Other days, I remember that one time I kinda sorta wrote three novels because no-one else was. Then I realise clearly what I need to be doing instead of bemoaning the lack of stories about characters I care about is to remind myself I actually can do something about that. So I tend to write stories/form LJ comms/pimp the hell out of stuff and people/start ficathons/then roll around in the love like Scrooge McDuck in a vault full of cash.
* Except for MCU fandom, where the only ‘ship that is straight up genuinely rare/tiny is Coluson/Natasha. Literally everything else you can image? Exists. And some of it’s even jaw-droppingly good. But every other pairing I ‘ship? DOOOOOMED. Seriously, you try finding the long plotty stories with delightly slice-of-life details for Pike/Number One, or Keira/Kellog, or Zoe/Reese and tell me how much you find, and how recent it is. If I have an all-consuming need, I usually end up writing to fill it, because there just isn’t anything out there to roll around in like Scrooge McDuck in a vault full of cash.(Source: thatssowritingdesk, via fahrbotdrusilla)
