"This relationship will never work out because I'm a supervillain and you're a secret agent!"

[conuly]

Me: I now ship this harder than I've ever shipped anything before.

Show: But, yeah, okay, let's get married?

Me: Still shipping it!

Show: Ah, but now I shall betray you! You should've seen this coming.

Me: Yes, you really should have. Still shipping it, though.

Next season: We are reluctantly working together! But ever since that time when she tried to drop him into a volcano on their wedding day, the hatred is now mutual!

Me: Yup, still shipping it.

Current season: Actually, I'm gonna go after that hot girl over there. I'm still a supervillain by the way, but who knows - sometimes you can change a person!

Me: Forget that other dude, I now ship this harder than I've ever shipped anything before. I only hope that nothing screws -

Show: We're going to conspire to keep the lovebirds apart and distrusting each other for the rest of the season! Enjoy!

I... I may have to actually put this one on pause until the current season wraps up. I'm not sure I can handle this.

Thankee kindly!

[conuly]

Also, all episodes have full transcripts, which is useful if you don't want to listen. Or if you'd like to peek ahead to see if your favorite characters get in each other's pants anytime soon.

The tab is now open on my laptop. :)

You have no idea how excited I am to hear that! I've been trying to force my entire family to listen to some of these audiodramas, any of them, ever since I started listening to them while my mom was dying in the ICU, just so I'd have somebody to talk to them about. (My mother listened to them, I guess, but for some reason she's not so chatty.)

Audiodramas, in my experience, are the absolute gayest media I've ever consumed, but I guess not enough people to have very active fanfic communities as near as I can tell, not for most of them.

And to be clear, when I say that what I mean is "Every single writer seems convinced that the way to improve all their shows is to add more LGBTQA+ characters, up to 127% representation if necessary!"

I don't know if I've just coincidentally stumbled into particularly representational shows or if this is totally standard, but it's a lot of a lot.

[adafrog]

dang. Also kind funny.

[conuly]

It would be funny if they weren't playing with my heartstrings like this!

Also - our supervillain is right. "Our secret blacksite prison where we confiscate all your civil rights at the door is slightly more humane than their secret prison" is not really a good argument in favor of clandestine government agencies.

And this is a woman who worked with a global cult and staged a high society wedding in order to take over the world, so, y'know....

[adafrog]

Wow.
What show?

[conuly]

Mission Rejected.

There are also full transcripts if you don't want to listen or, uh, if you want to skip ahead to see if anything gets freaking resolved between these two women. (No luck yet!)

[adafrog]

Cool. Thanks.

[conuly]

You have no idea how extremely over-enthused I've been about this. Even though now we're at the end of available episodes blech.

[adafrog]

Darn.

[conuly]

It's the midseason hiatus. I'm dying. Oh well.
