 At the end of the day, it will be neither the show nor the books to keep in the fandom, but the one thing that made me fall in love with Polin in the first place and the sole to gift me the best portrayal of these characters, as well as the best plots and smut scenes.

Fanfiction.

 There is no better feeling than when you find a fanfiction that has all the three G - Great Plot, Great Writing, Great Smut. 

Today the sun in shining bright on this house - perhaps even too much, it's literally 40°c here.

 Two days ago, I finished my reading of Romancing Mister Bridgerton, and I must say - I was pleasantly surprised by the number of quotes and whatnot they managed to include into the actual show.

The context, of course, is almost always different (it is an AU, after all), but you can tell they really tried to do it justice, and I appreciate that.

I, for my part, preferred the show version of the story.

 It's not about me having a mental disorder (which I have).

It's about the people who make me feel like I'm nothing but.

 Looking at all these remake/reboot of classic anime, I feel like they seem so... sterile compared to the luscious richness of the original art.

I know, I know. It's just a matter of personal preference. 

Or is it?

Perhaps it's time for my annual rewatch of Versailles no bara.

 When I look back on the last three months, I wonder if I did anything with my life apart from floating around in a bubble made of Polin, Bridgerton and fanfictions. 

And the answer is no.
