... when a movie or TV show seems too depressing/stressful/gory/intense for me to enjoy, but the story really interests me, but then LUCKILY it's based on a book or comic... only for me to learn that everyone who has read the source material universally agrees it sucks ass, and the adaptation definitely improved the story.

#this has happened to me AT LEAST two times that i can specifically recall #but probably more #by elise #it's hard out here for someone who loves complex stories but also is too sensitive!!! 😞#it seems like secondhand via gifsets and text posts is genuinely the best way for me to consume some media #also this MIGHT make you think I can't handle things that are particularly dark and twisted which is NOT the case!#i guess what gets to me most is stories about misery that just drag on and on #it's more of a problem w TV shows than movies bc a movie will at least usually wrap things up nicely at the end #but a show is like 'wanna see bad things happen to this person for ten years straight?'#and it's like... idk not really?#anyway there're soooo many shows where I'm like 'this seems SO good but unfortunately my mental health cannot handle that'
