Me: I will never watch television again. I get really invested in ships that have no chance of ever sailing and I've been burned too many times by the networks. No more TV - it only leads to heartbreak.
TV: Oh, I totally get it. You need a show you won't get too invested in. Here, why don't you start a mindless teen drama? How about Teen Wolf? Totally brainless. Hell, it's on MTV. It's just some nice hot, shirtless boys. See? Look at how pretty they are.
Me: ...Okay, I'm feeling it. No chance of getting emotionally invested.
TV: Okay, here's a werewolf called Derek and this adorkable guy called Stiles.
Me: Hey, they are kinda cool.
TV: Yes, they are. Now, isn't their relationship the best part of the show? Isn't it?
Me: I guess so....
TV: Look at how perfect their dialogue is. Look at how they interact - they're hilarious. Look at how one of them is always shirtless. Look at how one of them just agreed to slice off the other one's arm to save his life -
Me: WAIT. I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO. I REFUSE. I REFUSE TO SHIP THEM, BECAUSE IT WILL ONLY LEAD TO HEARTBREAK.
TV: Too late. You're hooked.
Me: ....I hate you.
already hate myself for asking this
...anybody got any recs?
