Hey, quick thought, have you ever tried watching Agents of SHIELD ?

There are 7 seasons so plenty of content, the main characters stay pretty much the entiere series.

They start all innocent cinnamon roll and end up very traumatized but also a cute little found family.

It has morally grey characters, emotional moments, unserious one liners, incredible plot twists, good moral conflicts, sad pathetic little characters who are also very strong, bloddy and feral women.

Anyway, since you like your female character to go through the horrors (angst, whump and eventually found family), I think you would like this show.

I have seen a few bits of it (read: Lady Sif).

Much like with legends, I think it's just the barrier of sitting down to watch it can be overwhelming.

It will probably be one of those media I absorb indirectly until my brain can handle it.

Well, the Sirens are tested in most places on the first Tuesday of every month, so that's at least 12.

Other than that it depends, the sirens go off when a confirmed tornado (touchdown required) is in the general area. I live in the expanded modern 'Tornado Alley' so we can get it a couple dozen times a season.

The US and Canada have the most in the world, by a lot.

Like 1,200 vs 15 kind of a lot.

They go off more now, because before the 1990's or so, we didn't know enough about them to warn people. Now we have it where most people will have 10-15 minutes before the storm is on top of them to get to shelter.

That moment when you realize that the wailing alarm that has been a 'tornato siren' your whole life is what most other parts of the world call an 'arial raid siren'.

The Midwest would be half exploded before anyone actually went into the storm/bomb shelters.

When you know the drive is to be your last, you take all the memories you can.

He cut it off a few days before making bail. Kinda unfortunate really.

Did you know that a previous car accident had gotten battery acid on Bonnie's leg which made walking difficult sometimes, so Clyde frequently would carry her, even though he also had issues walking due to cutting off his large toe to avoid being placed on a prison work chain?

I did know about the battery acid burns, however I did not know about Clyde's chopping off his big toe-

Those pictures are fascinating to me, though, they were found undeveloped with a few of Bonnie's poems when they fled their hiding spot, which means that they were taken recently, but who in their right mind would be having a mini photo shoot outside while on the run from the police???

Actually they weren't in their right mind at all, nevermind-

Galaxy thank you for fueling this interest further

Hi welcome to Galaxy's Oddly Specific Reason Not to Watch a Show!

The main Characters are all in the 12-16 age range, which is lovely because so many compelling stories can be told, but since it's so common now for a show to be cancelled and sit in limbo for a couple years before possibly getting picked up, the actors are all too old to continue their stories.

Looking at fandoms that my mutuals are in and are very VERY obsessed with that I'm not in in the slightest is like seeing your cousin bring their significant other to the family reuinion

At the gate for my flight home from visiting friends and there's a woman here with a service Shiba Inu. No pics because he has a Do Not Disturb vest and taking pics of strangers is illegal but I need to stress how ON DUTY this animal is. Ears up. Eyes doing Lazer scans of everything. Examining everyone who passes within 10ft like a security guard. Ass planted on her feet. I have never seen a dog with such intense chivalric guardian energy before. He has tiny eyebrows and they are FURROWED with concentration.

aos is great cause every main character has died at least once

Hey btw, if you're doing worldbuilding on something, and you're scared of writing ~unrealistic~ things into it out of fear that it'll sound lazy and ripped-out-of-your-ass, but you also don't want to do all the back-breaking research on coming up with depressingly boring, but practical and ~realistic~ solutions, have a rule:

Just give the thing two layers of explanation. One to explain the specific problem, and another one explaining the explanation. Have an example:

Plot hole 1: If the vampires can't stand daylight, why couldn't they just move around underground?

Solution 1: They can't go underground, the sewer system of the city is full of giant alligators who would eat them.

Well, that's a very quick and simple explanation, which sure opens up additional questions.

Plot hole 2: How and why the fuck are there alligators in the sewers? How do they survive, what do they eat down there when there's no vampires?

Solution 2: The nuns of the Underground Monastery feed and take care of them as a part of their sacred duties.

It takes exactly two layers to create an illusion that every question has an answer - that it's just turtles all the way down. And if you're lucky, you might even find that the second question's answer loops right back into the first one, filling up the plot hole entirely:

Plot hole 3: Who the fuck are the sewer nuns and what's their point and purpose?

Solution 3: The sewer nuns live underground in order to feed the alligators, in order to make sure that the vampires don't try to move around via the sewer system.

When you're just making things up, you don't need to have an answer for everything - just two layers is enough to create the illusion of infinite depth. Answer the question that looms behind the answer of the first question, and a normal reader won't bother to dig around for a 3rd question.
