Re-watching Sense8, and honestly, while I like so much of this show, Wolfgang is really only interesting to me when he's interacting with other members of the cluster. Well members who aren't Kala. Cuz holy shit am I not invested in that love triangle. Though, I do love how it's resolved even if it doesn't make a ton of sense.

I just finished the Christmas special, and boy howdy did it make me emotional to realize that Sun and Wolfgang take over in each other's fights. By that time we've seen Sun decimate so many people. God, she just wades through her opponents. And we've seen Wolfgang hold his own in his brawls. But that scene where the three guys hired by her brother try to take her out in the visitor's room, it's not Sun who beats them down. It's Wolfgang. When Wolfgang is fighting the rival gang boys, it's Sun who takes over. There also earlier in the special, when Wolfgang is feeling nervous and he ends up with Sun. They're two of the most taciturn characters, and the clearest way for them to express affection is to beat the shit out of anyone who threatens the people they love. These two fight scenes just visually highlight how much they care about each other, and holy shit do I love it.

Also any time Wolfgang is with Lito, fucking gold.

No spoilers but I am digging the hell out of the second season of American Gods. I loved the first season and I am so freaking jazzed to see where this season goes.

1. Mycroft in Elementary is at best annoying, and at worst makes me fast forward because god I just cannot. I cannot with him and Joan.

2. Sherlock saying he doesn't want ice cream, and then barely 10 seconds later asking Watson what kind of ice cream will always be utterly delightful to me.

In an attempt to actually use this site more, I'm going to introduce myself. Sort of.

I'm currently working on a PhD in Theater and Performance Studies. In my life (rounding out the Jesus year at the moment) I've had three goals.* 1. Get a PhD, 2. Get a full size bed, 3. Get a dog. Two of those goals are getting closer to being achieved, and sadly it's not the dog. One of my fave movies since the age of 3 is Predator, which I referred to as Crabface.

My fannish interests include but are not limited to:

Rivers of London
Master and Commander
Jane Austen
Lord of the Rings (book and movies)
- Specifically the glorious love between Legolas and Gimli
The Good Place
Brooklyn 99
Elementary
Letterkenny
Good Mythical Morning
Rooster Teeth, Achievement Hunter, and Funhaus
Good Omens
Neil Gaiman
Terry Pratchett
PACIFIC RIM!!!!!
And Holy Shit so much more!


It seems like that's enough to get started on at the moment. If anyone wants to say Hi! they are more than welcome!







*I mean I also wanted to be Maverick from Top Gun and a mermaid, but at least these are achievable. Tho I haven't given up all hope on being a mermaid....Or Maverick if we're being totally honest.

I am an admittedly not the best when it comes to engaging with fandom. Mostly because it tends to freak me out. I'm never sure what the rules are. Is there a specific way I'm supposed to introduce myself? Will others think I'm not a "real" fan? What is the best dish to bring to a potluck? Generally I default to a dessert, but sometimes people don't like dessert. I don't understand those people, but I understand that they exist. In all honestly, I don't know what I'm doing here but that's pretty much par for the course.
