So we should play a fun game from Tumblr:
"Test my fandom osmosis abilities"
Instructions: Comment with a fandom or two I know nothing about and I will summarize it as best I can. Past and present fandoms both welcome.
What I learned is that it is super-entertaining to hear non-watchers' impressions of your favorite show, so I hope I can live up. It's possible my position is flawed due to how my brain soaks in ONTD and general TV news 24/7, but, IDK. Let's find out.
P.S. Y'all have 24 hours and then I take this game over So You Think You Can Dance style, whereAmerica Livejournal's input is appreciated but the judges make the final call, meaning if I don't get at least half a dozen shows, I am throwing in whatever-the-heck shows I have always wanted to declare my fandom-osmosis impressions of.

ETA: Also, in Traumatizing Things That You Didn't Know Would Trigger You, Tumblr showed me the gruesome "how to melt a chocolate rabbit" video, I don't know if it's the eerie music or the closeups on the face (ITS EYES), but it is the scariest horror film I have ever seen despite being only 3 minutes long. Like, it chilled my soul and made my skin crawl and I actually felt a little sick to my stomach, and the 5 seconds I spared to create that link made me feel horrible all over again. This is an insensitive comparison to make, I know, but...it feels like I actually watched a person being tortured to death. This is a disturbingly visceral effect.
[P.S. Also, arachnophobes should not read this next part.]P.S. GREAT. NOW THERE IS A HYPERACTIVE BLACK SPIDER RACING ALL AROUND MY DESK FASTER THAN THE SPEED OF WIELDED SHOES, HIDING IN THE CLUTTER SO I CAN'T KILL IT, UNTIL IT RANDOMLY ZOOMS ACROSS MY SCREEN AND/OR KEYBOARD.
Update: OR FALLS OFF THE EDGE OF THE DESK RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY CHAIR, ZIPS DOWN THE GARBAGE CAN AND ZOOMS AWAY ACROSS THE FLOOR. NEAR MY BARE FEET.
I can't decide what is more terrifying now, staying at the desk or going to into unsuspecting sleep in case it decides to visit my bed next. This has happened before.

OUAT is a show that I keep meaning to watch except now it's 2 seasons later and I still haven't done that. So I kind of know in the sense that I read posts about its themes, but not episode reviews.
