Heh, yeah, ummm. I watch TV (or listen to audiobooks and podfic) while I draw? And I draw for hours and hours just about every day. I go through a ridiculous amount of TV, it's a little scary. /o\ But with PLL, I had the advantage of your introduction so, well, I was looking for it. I've gotten very attached to all the main characters and their bond, I just ... have't needed to do much fannish extrapolating yet. Too busy with canon.
Yeah, Alison is absolutely your kind of character, no lie. ;) The Halloween episode turned me around on her in a big way ... I needed to see another side of her, I guess. Before that, I was never sure if any of her professions of friendship rang true for me at all; I love antagonist relationships too, and morally ambiguous characters, but I need to be able to find some part of them relateable/redeemable, you know?
We will talk! I'm looking forward to catching up, honestly, so we can be on the same page and stuff (I have to scroll past some of your tumblr reblogs right now, hee). But Spencer's my favorite character, so you have a good chance. :)
Well, Bianca Lawson plays a background character who has only appeared in a handful of episodes (although it looks like she might play more of a role this season) ... I'm not sure that would be a reason to watch Teen Wolf? Which I kind of think of as a mash-up of Buffy and Smallville; it's like an all-new source of fannish nostalgia from my adolescence. I'm having fun with it, but it's often both absurd and deeply problematic. (Often towards its female characters, although I love them a lot.) YMMV.
