and if you're still curious, here are some things i dislike. while i don't make a habit of going on about them here, i might share a critical post or meme now and then:

✕  p e o p l e  ·  Tr*mp etc, J. K. Rowling, Gaius Julius Caesar (yes, i'm still holding a grudge), Quentin Tarantino, Taylor Swift, most pop stars tbh.

✕  g e n r e s  ·  body horror (except were-creatures!), mafia, blatant military propaganda (esp. American), musicals, slasher/splatter (anything with excessive gore), trash reality tv (e.g. Love Island, Love is Blind, Too Hot to Handle, Next Top Model, etc).

✕  t o p i c s  ·  artifiial 'intelligence', pop music, a lot of stuff made by Disney, Marvel, AppleTV, Amazon/Prime, Netflix, etc (and yes, i obviously do enjoy some of their stuff, i'm just very critical of their practices), vampires (Sinners is different, though!).

✕  p a s t  f a v o u r i t e s  ·  Game of Thrones (finally stopped after Sansa's wedding night in S5; tbh, we all should've stopped after S1 ). Peaky Blinders (after Grace's death). Sherlock (grew up + realised it's actually not that good/clever). Stranger Things (that final season was such a mess, it ruined the rest of it in hindsight). Supernatural (story got so repetitive and just absurd + i grew up). The 100 (after Lexa's death…). The Book of Boba Fett (let's be honest, the show wasn't good, and i was just horny for some old dude wearing a damn bucket on his head). The Mandalorian (got a bit boring, might get back into it once the movie's out?). The Umbrella Academy (final season was unwatchable!!). The Walking Dead (after Glenn's death; couldn't stand Negan; also stopped enjoying the genre in general). Vikings (after Ragnar's death; his sons were so annoying + not interesting at all).

and lastly…
