Late afternoon light is dappling through the slowly-turning leaves. The breeze is cool and bracing. My hoodie is cozy and the mug is warm in my hands.

Hello, Autumn. I've missed you so much ♥

I've been watching a ton of tv during this hellscape summer, and I have random opinions about them. YMMV.

The King's Affection (Netflix): 3 out of 5 starsSo, there's a lot of foreign content on streaming services now, which is both great and terrible. Great because it exposes western audiences to different types of entertainment, genres and actors ( Read more... )

So, you know when you've been in a fandom for eons but it's sorta burnt out and you feel a little lost without something to nerd-out with?
