ladyterukiTV show : "And so they had a threesome that night"
Me : "Oh wow, where did they find geometrical purple bedsheets like that, it's exactly what I like !"
TV show : "...and the threesome ?"
Me, already opening my browser to look at bedsheets : "..."
Watching the first season of a show VS Watching the second season of that same show...
Me checking DL websites because there's a new Netflix show I want to see that SURELY will land on there at some point today :
The good news : I've found a fantastic torrent tracker for Arabic shows.
The bad news : the shows are not including English subtitles, even though those subtitles oftentimes exist in the wild (at the very least they do for the shows ripped on the Shahid platform)
The quest continues.
Character, unable to be vocal about their true feelings : "..."
Other character, needing to hear they're not alone in their attraction : "Will you not say anything ?!"
Me, barely looking up from the nails I've been trimming : "They can't yet, it's only episode four."
See, try as I might, I can't be trusted to watch a romance.
If I finish it someday (ideally this week, at least if I stop pausing to watch archeological videos on Youtube), this f*cking review is going to be so long that noone is ever going to read it. Either that or I don't finish it, and noone is ever going to read it.
What am I even doing with what passes as my life.
Nothing replaces the feeling of finding a website that has all kinds of episodes for shows you could absolutely not find anywhere else.
"AaaaaaaAAAAAaaaaah ! I can't believe THIS SHOW is here !!! Let me search for that other title I've been looking for...? OH MY GOD IT'S HERE TOO ! Download faster, I need the entire season for that one next !!!"
Me : *launches the first episode of a show I don't know anything about*
First 5min : *Socio-political conflict, class war discourse, politically-motivated assassination*
Me : "🤩 Oh, fun !"
Wait, I can explain.
Me : "Hell yes more dystopian shows nomnomnom"
Also me : "Nope nope nope nope nope I don't have the nerves for this"
Me five minutes later : "...Hell yes more dystopian shows nomnomnom"
The infinite luxury of having access to African shows I can dislike, and others I can love from the bottom of my heart, though. Just a few years ago, you'd have to be happy with whatever you got. #TelephagicProblems, I guess.
