Don't be (too) ashamed. What's the slop you're getting into this week? Games, movies, tv shows, etc.

I'll go first I suppose. I'm watching Burn Notice. I'm on season 3 episode 3. Some of the dialogue is so painful I'm embarrassed to watch it but then I power thru it and finally get to a high quality action scene. Former spy works w former girlfriend, his mom, and a fair weather friend to solve some problems in sunny Florida. It's completely believable and socially redeeming.

So let's hear it.

I've been devouring as much non-toxic/minimally toxicBL manhwa/manga as I can get my hands on. It's springtime and I'm gay.

My current favorite is Go For It Nakamura! This series makes me so stupid happy. From the aesthetic, music, humor, sweetness it's such good food yumyumyummy. Also the character outright identifies as gay, which is rare in Japanese BL.

My guilty pleasure right now is "Everything for the Demon King Evelogia"

It's an Isekai manga about a sex worker/gangster who gets shot and sent to the world of his favorite childhood RPG game. The MC is obsessed with the final boss, and meets up with the final boss "Eve" before the boss has reached his final form. The MC begs to be Eve's servant and help him take over the world.

What's so fun about the series is that the MC is a freak in a generic fantasy world. He's crude/shameless/blunt and watching him interact with generic fantasy #34435 is really funny. The relationship between the MC and Eve is actually supportive and adorable. There is a lot of smut, but it's broken up by an actually interesting story about breaking patterns of trauma and toxic behavior. I was pleasantly surprised.
