It's maybe a little odd to phrase it this way, but only after like 4+ years of on and off watching BL dramas (and getting into GL dramas) am I getting to stage of actually being okay with/open to "bad" endings again because it's not about the gay, it's about the plot. You now have my trust that you're not “killing off the gays” because they're gay, so I'm okay with killing off main characters if the plot makes sense that way.

[spoiler about a 2025 GL series]I really loved Runaway.
And I probably would not have been ready to like it 4 years ago.

Right now I'm making personal bets about characters dying in
[vague not-really spoiler about a currently airing BL series]Goddess bless you from death
and having a lovely time.

(Okay I’m still not going to watch heavy political/etc. type dramas but that’s just a general preference.)

It’s the 10th anniversary of the first broadcast of Lucifer, which is one of my top 3 favorite TV shows.*
I FEEL SO OLD 😭

*The other two are Star Trek the original series and Babylon 5, just don’t ask me in what order.

What makes you feel old or young?
What are your favorite TV shows?

This week's [community profile] thefridayfive 

1. What type of hair do you have? (Thin, Normal, Thick, Frizzy, etc.)
Thick

2. What colour is your hair currently?
More grey than brown

3. What colours have you dyed/highlighted your hair?
I've never dyed my hair, and may have once highlighted it, but I don't have any interest in doing so.  I was never worried about going grey.

4. If you could dye your hair any colour, what would it be?
If it could magically change without any time/effort on my part, I would go a stripey mixture of blueish shades, so greens up to yellow, and purples, but not reds, maybe a little subtle orange.  Rainbow, without the red.

5. What is your hair's length?
About shoulder length, but I wear it tied back.
 
 
To fill the prompt, any, any, i fell in love with you in my passenger seat
Surprise sequel to Truth Lives in Darkness. Does that make it better, or worse? 😉
I really need to get to sleep...

25. It’s Burn’s Night – a night to celebrate Robert Burns and all things Scottish. Do you like Scotch whisky, or prefer Irish Whiskey? I'm going to list a few things about Robert Burns.

I don't like whiskey, period. But I've heard that Scottish Whisky is the best.
