#in ways which i've conveniently failed to elaborate upon & so you'll just HAVE to go see for yourself

[galacticlamps]

I just wanted to apologize to my classic whotuals for all the dead boy detectives spamming, but it's also important to me that you guys know two things:

a) I've become aware that a lot of what appeals to me about dead boy detectives is, on a kind of conceptual/thematic level, the same stuff that I love about my favorite eras of dr who, and 6b in particular

And I tell you this not as an advertising tactic but as a genuine PSA for anyone following me because:

b) Being me & having realized this, I know I'm definitely gonna wind up posting some unnecessarily long-winded analysis/comparison, pop it in the main tags for the sake of organization on my own blog, and subsequently confuse a hell of a lot of people there who either have no idea what I'm talking about or simply don't view either piece of media in the same light as I do to begin with

So I just wanted to reassure everyone that at least you're not suffering alone, as I will soon be inflicting the reverse bait-and-switch upon others!

That's all! continue w ur scrolling <3

#i hope this is clear but im REALLY not trying to be like coy or intriguing here #this post is not remotely intended to convince anyone to watch dead boy detectives on the grounds that it's similar to 60s who #in ways which i've conveniently failed to elaborate upon & so you'll just HAVE to go see for yourself #(firstly bc when i want to sing something's praises i will upfront & unapologetically) #(& secondly bc im not super into telling people to watch things in general unless they're actively seeking a rec) #honestly this (now very overhyped) future post of mine is going to be more about like #me recognizing i have A Type when it comes to stories/underpinning narrative backdrops in fiction (if thats not too pretentious) #and much less of a 'well if you like x then you'll definitely love y bc i do & we all enjoy things in the same way & for the same reasons' #and i find it funny that nobody will care - bc it'll incomprehensible to all but about 5 people who have the full context #& half of those 5 will probably still disagree w my perspective/interpretation of one or both - #but im gonna do it anyway bc what else am i supposed to do w these thoughts! keep them to myself??? dont be absurd #that said though if you are debating watching dbd and would like to chat about it to push yourself in one direction or another #im happy to do so! especially if you have questions about it in relation to some other shared interest you actually did follow me for lol #im always game for that sort of thing & yes i am of the opinion that its a good & fun & rich show all on its own
