Well. Yep. Last week was certainly... a week. Then I had to send my elderly cat to join her brother in pet heaven on Saturday (she was fifteen, and had clearly been declining over the previous few days), so that made for a completely shit weekend.
The one bright spot was the new episode of Doctor Odyssey - my new obsession - which Did The Thing, amazingly, somehow, wildly. Right off the bat the show's OTP has been the OT3, and at the end of last week's episode, they got drunk and had a threesome. This is not a sentence I thought I would ever write about a TV show starring Joshua Jackson airing on ABC, even in 2024.
As I have described it to others, this show is like if you took the ridiculous medical emergencies from 9-1-1 and put them on a boat, with a hot doctor, a hot nurse practitioner, and a hot nurse - who all want to bang each other - and also Don Johnson is there, as the cruise captain. The crew has regular "Boys, Butches, and Bisexuals" strip poker games. Chord Overstreet guests as a slutty man who gives his fellow singles week passengers syphilis. Shania Twain is there as a hot grandma who smooches the captain and she never gets a name. Margaret Cho has her lung collapsed from a too-long acupuncture needle! They keep talking about how they can't do surgical procedures on the boat and then there's an appendectomy during a hurricane! And this is just six episodes in.
I am so not used to writing fanfic for a currently-airing television show - I know no one would care if I posted something that immediately got jossed (we need a new word for that) in the next episode, but it sure does add an extra level of "I need to write as fast as I can" to things. Or at least a level of "I need to come up with ideas" faster, because I can write fairly quickly if I have to.
In other news: I finished and turned in my Yuletide assignment already! I would like to do something else as well for my recipient but given the on and off writer's block lately, I just went with the flow when this particular inspiration struck.
