resonant1. I wish it were possible to matchmake people with fandoms. I mean I wish it worked. I guess matchmaking people with people has not historically been a big success either.
2. Maybe I need a fannish arranged marriage like a Regency lady of quality. Then I wouldn't expect passion, just a respectable match between two compatiblepieces of real estate people.
3. I'd like to read a story without any hickies in it. Alas, I can't be confident of that even if I only read stories I wrote myself.

Date: 5/22/21 07:05 pm (UTC)Ha, I'm not even 40 yet but this is the main reason I have stayed away from The Untamed even though a lot of my Guardian friends went over there last year. I looked at some vids and gifsets and went: nope. In Guardian both main characters (and actors) are (and look) 30+ and the other show I was dragged into after that, Nirvana in Fire, had actors ranging from 30-50.
I have no idea if you are even in Cdrama fandom or would consider going there (reading subtitles is not everyone's cup of tea) but I can recommend Nirvana in Fire. NO hickys. (unfortunately, no kissing either). No secondhand embarassment humour. Okay, it's 54 episodes but that's it. Fealty tropes. Many amazing varied female characters. Noble suffering. Idiotic suffering. Court intrigue. Interesting side plots. Interesting antagonists. Really really well written over the entire show. There are no filler episodes at all. /ad
