rogueslayer452 | Give me all the emotional story arcs.

++ Alright so, while I've been obsessed with The Untamed I haven't really delved into the other adaptations (and have only read a few of the translated chapters of the novel online), however the trailer for the third season of Mo Dao Zu Shi was released and, although I've been aware of the two different animated series for the novel, the donghua is apparently now going into the Yi City Arc for the third season and I know I'm going to get sucked in because. Well, that arc emotionally destroyed me when watching The Untamed, it completely blindsided me, I didn't see it coming at all and I've been consuming fan content surrounding that ever since (like, I love a lot of things about overall story but that arc in particular just yanked at my heart and never let go). Am I ready for my heart to be ripped out and stomped on all over again? Absolutely.

++ Now that The Great Gatsby has entered public domain there is now a television series in the works for it. I am looking forward to the different variations of the story in other mediums, since I've seen a lot of discussions about the endless possibilities of how the story could have gone or the different takes of the characters, etc.

++ The Expanse is nearing the end of its fifth season, and I have to say I'm incredibly grateful that they've decided to release episodes weekly because this season has been emotionally taxing. I'll have more to talk about once the season finishes, but man, there are some episodes that are hard to watch. In a good way though! Like amazing emotional storytelling and acting, but it's also overwhelming when it comes to certain characters and what they're going through in their arcs. And believe me, I have a lot of thoughts and feelings that I'll express in my review of the season. The only thing I will say is that I'm just blown away by some of the actors, and I can see why the fifth book, Nemesis Games, is some of the fans' favorite in the series.
