Apparently seeing a single Reddit comment mention how something is like Gilead is enough for the brain to decide "let's read the handmaid's wiki page talking about Gilead" and long story short it's been five hours we now know the plot of Handmaid's Tale

#adhd? never met her #you couldn't pay us to actively watch it because there's just SO many themes we can't deal with.#but it's one of those morbid curiousity type of things. wiki pages are so nice at alleviating that.#did not expect that it took place in present day America and that the rest of the world is basically the same #also didn't completely expect - but was not as surprised - that there's different roles besides the maids #but besides that? oh yeah it's just as messed up as we initially thought #if you like it good for you. just not our thing #there is exactly one good thing we enjoyed from the parts of the plot we read tho:#''ok you're meant to get pregnant from my husband but he's infertile. why not try with our driver?'' & the maid/driver fall in love #that's a decent writing prompt to work with. a twist on the usual ''and they were both servants'' or ''it's an arranged marriage thing''#like take out the whole conception necessity you could reflavour it as ''you're suppose to marry X but they're ace so why not marry Y?''#and X is like a high ranking person while Y is slightly lower ranking than X
