#i havent experienced that kind of media euphoria since the ronanessy 'ur boyfriends gonna leave' 'ur familys dead lol' moment

so i knew the mabel podcast had lesbians because everyone who recced it to me was like "theres lesbians here" because obviously. however i did NOT know that the lesbians are wildly traumatized fuckups with totally different coping mechanisms whose relationship is built on trying very hard to support each other while also having deeply incompatible neuroses and constantly hurting one another by lashing out or saying the wrong thing, After spending an endless amount of time being obsessive and codependent and doing grand personal sacrifice shit and idealizing the other bc they've been individually isolated instead of being able to communicate, And managing to link their sanity thru magic which neither of them is okay with which Sure Does add another layer to how tangled their conflicts get, And they're both having to face the fact that this idealized soul bonded beautiful kickass magic life partner is actually.... a flawed three-dimensional individual, who is not perfect, and also is not easy to understand, and also is capable of making bad bad bad Bad mistakes,

literally Every Time they start fighting (which is approx every 3 to 5 minutes) i experience a higher enraptured floating state of being called I Was Born Exclusively To Experience This Media. Purpose Fulfilled I Can Now Die In Peace

#horror podcasts feat queer characters nearly always make the lesbian couple extremely healthy and supportive and good at survival #and i do know exactly why and for some people it is very comforting and needed! #however i have been so starved of messy toxic fuckups that it literally never occurred to me that the writers here might play the #relationship as anything other than mysteriously super beneficial and supportive and perfect #DESPITE SO MANY CLEAR SIGNS THAT BOTH NARRATORS ARE COMPLETELY INSANE #oh my god they had their first onscreen dialogue together and immediately went at each others throats and i almost passed out #i havent experienced that kind of media euphoria since the ronanessy 'ur boyfriends gonna leave' 'ur familys dead lol' moment #exact same media euphoria. the rush of endorphins is gonna carry me thru at least the next 48 hours #mabel #mabel podcast #this is my 'does it taste good' recommendation #if u like the same kinds of fictional relationships i do [the adansey ronanesy crowd] OH YEAH IT TASTE GOOD #ive just finished s4. they r perfect. onto s5
