#and angst would've really clashed with the tone of season 1

[feeder-of-rodents]

I got a fever and binged the entirety of Droners season 2 in two days

It was quite an adventure.

First the internet wasn't working, so I decided to watch the Monsuno DVDs i got from the library but our DVD player wasn't plugged into the tv. Then I got shocked by a broken wire because we have a rabbit in the house and I'm an idiot who didn't unplug the power before trying to sort out all the wires.

Turns out one of the cords I needed was broken anyways, so I resorted to calling dad and he helped me fix (read: turn it off and back on again) the internet. Since I already had the family computer open, I decided I might as well watch there.

Except the audio wasn't working. It later turned out there would have been a very easy fix, as the only problem was that the radio thingy that's linked to the family computer's speakers was turned off. I've dealt with this very situation dozens of times, but I had a fever and the computer was in a different place than it had been the last few years, so I didn't think of it.

Instead I decided to try headphones, but the audio quality was so bad it wasn't worth it just to avoid the battle with my laptop. When my dad got home, he called me into the room and asked why the computer was being weird and whenever he clicked on stuff it did something other than what it was supposed to do. It took me about 4 seconds to work out the problem, which was that I'd accidentally set the headphones down on the control key. I'm never going to let this one go!

Anyways, binge watching went well until the last freaking episode, where my laptop decided it had had enough. (In my laptop's defence, it has to deal with hundreds of browser tabs and is literally held together by tape.) The animation started getting choppy and everything slowed down until I was dealing with seconds-per-frame. Restarting my laptop (twice!) somehow made the problem worse.

Eventually I had to dig up Flickfetch and just download the episode. It was somehow still worth all the trouble

Well, now I can finally read the 2 (actually 4 by now) fics on Ao3 without having to fear spoilers!

#droners #lilytuft struggles with technology #not actually going to read all of those fics since some of them seem to just be shippy stuff #but a few do seem promising #might finally be able to write a fic of my own #i'm a beginner writer who can only write angst and it also has to be canon compliant #and angst would've really clashed with the tone of season 1 #but the planktons' pow has such good angst potential #and i'm a sucker for the memory loss trope
