Read the plot, read the reviews, read the competing fan theories, possibly even read the fanfiction, depending on who’s writing it (esp. cracktastic Good Place crossovers, given Mr. Harper’s presence)... basically, I may develop strong opinions about this piece of media I will not experience directly.
hi, same, yes.
I’m so glad I’m not the only one who does this. No, I will not watch your scary movie but I will read the entire plot on Wikipedia.
I should also point out that the squealing, flaming little Lord Umber was a real delight when I was folding laundry, alone, in my dark living room/house while my husband and kids (two little boys) were asleep.
No one hazes like Gaston.
Oh yes, and we’re expected to give our lives for our students- anyone who dares give that a second thought is automatically a horrible person. But the fact is, I have 2 kids of my own.

Hi there. You are one of my people so I’ll take this question. None of this is personal. This is how you learn. It was helpful, very helpful, to me when I was just starting out and even now, to reframe every incident and every response I wanted to make. Reframed how?
