I’m guessing this is some country-specific bullshit because I don’t think they’re allowed to do that in the UK. Don’t recall ever seeing any adverts for them.

America: making things worse constantly.

Prescription drugs can advertise? What is this fuckery?

Oh yeah, it’s terrible. I think it’s super fucking creepy. They all end with “ask your doctor if you have ____ disease and ask for ____ drugs”. Sometimes, like Viagra (which is a prescription drug) has commercials that say “see our Ad in Golf Magazine” or something to that effect.

That is a gloriously high school story you have there. Mine were just as bad, but sadly my dad’s overly security conscious and the hard drives they were on are no longer in one piece.

Oh god you don’t even know the half of it. I still have the entire first part and the notebooks where I was working on the second part.

The story gets soooo much fucking dumber after that.

Although I am sorry that you lost all of your old stories :(

Taurus and Gryffindor. If I’m wrong, blame the rum. If I’m right, blame the rum.

Gryffindor making a strong comeback, now tied at 2 for the lead with Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw still behind with Slytherin coming in last with a big fat zero. Also Taurus/Capricorn/Virgo.

The characters are definitely the key. People don’t read all those coffee shop AUs because they’re entranced by the struggles of barista-hood, after all. Good characters can carry the most inane or dull plots.

That is actually a super excellent point that didn’t even cross my mind. Thank you kind soul.

Yeah pretty much. It had so much potential, which then became gravitational potential as it hurled itself off a fucking cliff.

I don’t know why, but this description is making me giggle way too much.

for me personally, it hit a lot of buttons. i love post-apocalyptic world-building. i love femslash. i love powerful women. there have always been hiccups along the way, and things i wished could be better, but those good things appeared to be there and it was like having blinders on. once the blinders were removed, it was like realizing i’d been eating gold-plated shit the whole time. >.< it had so much potential but it was all destroyed in execution.

Ok so what I’m getting is basically The 100 had a few things going for it, and by all means feel free to correct me on any of these points):

Post apocalypse (I’m assuming it had help that it wasn’t a tired apocalypse either, no zombies, no Terminators, etc.)

Good world building that made the place feel real?

A fairly diverse cast that was full interesting women (before the trash can fire disaster)

Potential!

The promise of “no easy way out”/lack of plot armor for the main characters (whether or not they lived up to said promise or abused it is an entirely separate argument)

The diversity of the cast, racial and sexual (I feel like this is terribly important)

Am I missing anything?
