magnus AND untamed, you say

[felinejumper]

I am at:
- Ep 34 of the Untamed, I watched seven episodes today and cried for at least half of them, I have SO MANY FEELINGS
- Mag 176 ("Blood Ties") so I'm just skimming the mag 170 and 164 tags a LOT
- going to get SO MUCH FANDOM pumped into my brain whenever I hit the end of either of them and I am just. Peachy keen to get going.

Man, though, the untamed is so good [if nightmarish about women]. I want to SCREAM forever, fannish obsession feels amazing.

I hardcore felt that feel when I watched The Untamed. I don't participate in fandom much these days, but it has that incredible intensity of feeling--so angsty and compelling and long, a work to drown in; it had that fannish-obsession feeling for me without actually engaging in fandom.

I'm reading the novel version right now and enjoying it in very much the same way, in no small part because it is so long, but also because its comperably explicit relationship feels a lot like a fannish retelling--except that it is of course the source material. But one thing that surprised me is that the show actually does better by the female characters--it gives them stronger arcs and more space to exist on-screen. Which I suppose is an underhanded complement, but here we are.

The Untamed is terrible to all its female characters! But if when you get to the end you want recs for fic that centers those characters hit me up! I've been collecting them.

Yaaaaay we got another one! I'm glad you're enjoying The Untamed. There's SO MUCH good fic, when you're ready for that. :D
