I don’t consider myself a little. We don’t engage into any form of age play or age regression. On Monday we went to Ikea to pick up some small things and following the „ikea-labyrinth“ we walked through the children’s isle. I even made a comment to @juicy-dom that we don’t need any of that yet (since were not planning on having kids in the next couple of years). Then I saw him.
A husky stuffie dog.. softer and cuter than anything I’ve ever touched. „Can I have him please?“. He smiled at me and said „of course, Princess, I was hoping you’d pick one“. I felt small immediately. I called him Ace and held him in one hand, Daddys with the other and felt so cute and taken care of.
Okay, so, question time. Maybe somebody can help me out here.
I started suspecting that I am on the ace spectrum about a year ago and it feels great to finally understand myself better.
But now I started questioning my romatinc attraction a few weeks back. I have definitely had crushes. But only 3-4 (I’m 22). Is that a normal amount? And I knew all of them kind of personally? So do alloromantic people’s crushes work like that? Or do they have crushes on random people (much like sexual attraction as faras I understand it)? (I might have to add that I don’ t go out that much and don’t even know that many people aside from school/ university/ sports activities)
What is the alloromantic “average” amount of crushes?
Signed, a very confused individual.
Okay, so. There’s not that much talk about this show. But honestly? its kinda great actually.
Things you should know going in. It’s based on the Nancy Drew mystery novels BUT with a lot of creative liberties being taken. Largest of which is that this is a show that focuses HEAVILY on the supernatural.
But for those of us who LIKE those kinda shows it’s actually, really a fun watch. Be advised, this show LOVES its jump-scares (if there is a creepy corpse on whose eyes the camera focuses on? it will blink; if there is a wide pan shot of the characters from behind some trees? a malevolent spirit is staring at them; a character is in a dark room? there will probably be hands reaching out of walls trying to touch them), and honestly? it delivers on those scares quite effectively.
It’s a bit like… if you crossed Buffy with Veronica Mars, with just a TOUCH of Scooby-Doo.
The show takes place in the small town of Horseshoe Bay. It’s a town full of such charming traditions as knocking buckets of water over the porch at midnight and if it’s filled with blood, you’ll die within the year. And a town legend of infamous Lucy Sable who vanished under mysterious circumstances the night she was named Sea Queen. And the spirit of Aglaeca, who will grant you your wish if you pay her toll.
The main character is Nancy Drew.
And I really do love her. Like, she is a MESS. She’s a prime example of a fixing a mess by making a bigger mess and fixing the bigger mess by going nuclear and fixing the consequences of going nuclear by grasping at straws until it almost works, and then when a thing that she can’t live with happens going nuclear ALL OVER AGAIN.
And she’s got a very powerful puppy dog ‘help me’ face that gets people around her in trouble. Like, I wouldn’t be able to say no to that face either probably.
But she loves her friends so much. Well, as soon as they actually become friends (they start out as a rag-tag group of people thrown into fire together when they all become the prime suspects for murder… as one does). But by the end of the first season? She would, quite literally, bleed for them (plus deal with the world’s MOST UNCOMFORTABLE situation to save their lives).
And speaking of said friends. Lets start with my personal favorite character. George Fan.
She’s got sarcasm and aggravation seeping out of her from her every pore. But she’s also a very complex character who has a lot of underlying motivations for her defense mechanisms. George has three sisters, all younger than her, who she’s basically raised herself and supports financially through her diner, The Claw.
Also I’m absolutely pulled in by the potential for how her character gets developed in the future because there’s a LOT of juicy stuff for the writers to work with.
Also the romance story she’s given in the second half of the first season is really sweet and lets us take a glimpse at her softer side, because she’s actually very vulnerable (which is WHY she needs her defenses).
Then there’s Bess Marvin.
Bess is a member of the Marvin family (a very rich, kinda shady ‘maybe not as much so as the Hudsons (the OTHER super shady rich people) but only maybe’ town family).
A lot of what her character is about is a bit spoilery. But basically she’s the very gay, very sweet, a bit out of touch character who’s a bit of a kleptomaniac. And makes everything sound more dramatic than it is (except when it’s supernatural drama in which case I think she adds just the right touch of drama).
Next up. Ned Nickerson but everyone calls him Nick.
He’s just… a very nice dude. He’s the one who really quickly goes ride-or-die for people.
And if I gave characters points for soulful stares I’d DEFINITELY give Nick a solid: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
He’s introduced as the guy Nancy is hooking up with. But he also has a very tragic background story that also includes some spoilers but in the vaguest way possible, lets just say that he’s recently out of jail for something he shouldn’t have been convicted for and coming to Horseshoe Bay for a new start.
The ghosts weren’t exactly part of the plan, but eh, what are you gonna do?
And finally. Ace.
Bess’s platanchor.
Totally dependable. Down to go along with the most crazy stuff with barely an eyeblink. Basically he’s what you’d get if you crossed Oz with (a less irritating version of) Xander.
—
In essence, I’d recommend Nancy Drew for those who enjoy a quite decent who-done-it mystery but don’t mind it crashing headfirst into a very FUN oh-noes-ghosts-and-monsters-are-real-and-trying-to-kill-us series.
Also, a bit of advice for anyone whose stomach for scary stuff is as weak as mine? Don’t watch it after dark while you’re alone at home. You WILL sleep with your night-light on.
