I started watching the Kimi wa Petto drama, and I'm stupidly happy over it. What is this? I had kinda been avoiding romance drama because I thought they would just be boring, but I made an exception for Kimi we Petto because of the whole keeping a guy as a pet thing. I kind of had an image of, in romance drama, an uninteresting, unrelatable, flat female lead with the male counterpart not being any better, but Sumire's actually been a pretty solid character so far.
I'm actually finding myself identifying with her on some level, and that's significant because I cannot recall a single character in all of the fiction I've consumed about whom I've consciously thought "I identify with this character". (This may, however, be less significant than it seems, since my long-term memory tends to be pretty bad.) That no matter what a person's education was like or how successful a person is, it only goes so far. That alone can't bring happiness and can even work against it.
And then her female coworkers talk directly about what's expected from females for men to like them, and her male coworkers more indirectly touch on it, and somewhere along the way it ends up having some pretty good commentary about the problems of modern women and a little about society more generally.
A little while back a couple of people on my f-list posted lists of different ships they like in their fandoms, and I thought about doing it too. The thing is, many of my fandoms skew obscure or old or both, to the point where I don't know which of my fandoms f-list would care about or which I even care about any more, so I thought about asking you all for what fandoms, if any, you'd want to know my ships. Let me know what you think, and if there's enough interest, I'll do it.

You should do the list and if you throw who you ship from Arashi in there, then all the better. xD

I figured if I did it, my Arashi ships would probably end up there one way or another. ^^
