Had my birthday on Friday. 33 now... Not sure how to feel about this tbh. Also didn't do anything fun for it, or get presents or cake or anything. Kind of depressing all around.
It's been kind of amazing and fun to follow GoT through twitter. People are always so angry on Mondays now and it's fun to try to figure out what happened in the episode just from rage tweets. :'D I'm so glad I never watched beyond season 2 (I've actually read all the books, but I don't feel invested in those either)
random fandom thought I had today about enemies to lovers pairings and why I don't like them. I think it has something to do with my trust issues and the fact that these types of pairings are usually about the hero and the villain falling for each other and that goes towards my issues about power imbalances and general aversion to conflict. I guess I just can't wrap my head around why anyone would start to like someone they previously thought was their enemy (or as a bad person). The only way I can really see myself liking enemies to lovers is if there's first a real redemption arc for the enemy/villain and I get to see that they've actually changed.
---> of course there are exceptions to these, because I do like arranged marriage fics where the pairing doesn't like each other at first (or at least they think the other person doesn't like them)
--> I also really ship Thor/Loki which could fit into enemies to lovers, except the dynamic doesn't really start out from there
--> I might also be thinking enemies to lovers and villain/hero pairings are the same and they might not be, but I can't really think of any enemies to lovers pairings where the other person isn't the villain...
I may have started creating my own d&d campaign world... oops? (except I think this is peak me, as I love worldbuilding... I think the problems will come from trying to come up with quests and a plot for the thing)
Oh and my Italy trip is next week! How is time going by so quickly???? I've only planned my Naples days so far... I'm afraid I may have kind of bollocksed up the Rome part already, as I haven't booked any tickets in advance. *shrug* idk, I think there'll be a lot of stuff to do anyway even if I don't get to go to all the super touristy places. (and that'll be a reason to go back some day. I think going during the winter would be smart as there wouldn't be so many other tourists around)
