sometimes i'll spend too long looking at fan content like gifs and fanart and fanfic and metas, or writing my own fic and metas, and whenever i get in too deep i have to go back and rewatch a few scenes from the show to remember that this is a Comedy and the characters are all huge clowns almost all the time

#this happens w fic especially #bc a lot of fic is just. tonally much angstier than the show is #even if the content isn't like edgy or dark. like minimal whump #fic tends to focus on the drama more than the comedy of the show but when u watch the show the comedy is ALWAYS present #like even ed going full kraken has the scene where he leans dramatically into the candlelight and jim's like #''the fuck happened to your face???''#so like i'll read all these extremely heart-wrenching reunion fics and like tender hurt/comfort or fluff #and then i have to go back to the show and watch ed stab a snake and stede say 'eat an apple for god's sake!'#like i start forgetting how the characters ACTUALLY behave in most of the scenes #ofmd #our flag means death #mine #txt #og #ofmd fandom crit
