Okay, I'm just going to say it. I love The 100 so much that my heart hurts. I am in love with it. This is almost how I felt when I first saw X-men, and it's been a long time since I felt this way over a show (or any type of movie/fandom/whatever).
It actually makes me feel sad. I am never at my best - and never all that rational - when I'm in the fangirl abyss. I know that Bad Stuff happens to one character I like, and it probably is going to happen to every character. (Lots of Bad Stuff has already happened). I'm forcing myself to watch no more than 2 episodes per day so I'm caught between desperately wanting to interact with the fandom and desperately wanting to stretch out the pleasure. I have plot bunnies and I want to start writing, but it makes no sense to write fanfic when there are 60 episodes I haven't seen yet (I counted), thus anything I write now won't make too much sense to the fandom which is all caught up on the episodes.
And at this rate it will take me 1 month to get caught up. That's a long time when you're craving contact with people who feel as you do about something.
The show and characters literally make my heart pound. I'm in love.
