I haven't seen this on here, and I KNOW the whole sci-fi shenanigans are over but I had to see if anyone else caught wind of this and enjoyed it as much as I did.
I oft find myself enjoying media that is purely unique. I absolutely love when a TV show, a book, or a movie have a unique look in this universe. It doesnt matter where the media came from or what others think of it. It doesnt even matter what platform it came from or how I ended up with it. The only thing that matters to me is that it's a story/idea/plot that is unique in some fashion.

What do I mean by unique? Well well well... unique is simply a descriptor that I like for something that has not been seen or done to that point. Yeah sure, some of the things I've enjoyed over the years got their idea from somewhere else BUT! What matters is that they pulled off their idea of unique in a way that I can appreciate.

A quick Google search showed a quick synopsis of what others say about it. 3 words, descriptive as hell, and a perfect fit. -
"Melodramatic, Dark, and Hedonistic
View similar shows and movies"

I don't have nearly the time I used to, to watch TV or movies anymore but I do get into audiobooks for that reason. I listen while I'm doing my physically intensive jobs where possible. To me, there is NOTHING better than being pulled into a universe that the creator has made, and being plunged into a plot line that you can follow with your imagination. There is truly something to be said about an amazing, superior story. Especially when life is kicking me while I stumble. I use that media to forget about my problems for a while. I use it to turn off my brain and live in a fantasy for a little while. Sure, eventually i have to return to pay bills and feed the landshark. But until that time, being a space pirate, curing an alien illness, or raiding the tomb of the lost is a good way to keep my demons at bay.

I highly recommend watching this clip

It's a good story wrapped up in an overly sexed up Succubus woman attempting to find answers to questions she didn't know to ask.

And I'm sure everyone has seen the reaction gif, tick tick boom... that's where this is from.

She makes out with A LOT of people. I mean, she's a Succubus. But it's not all about sex. I promise. It's a good story behind it all.

If anyone knows of any unique movies, TV or books please post them. I'd love new suggestions.
I am currently listening to the audiobook, Succubus Lord- Eric Vall.
I'm on book 6 of 19. It's not the greatest thing I've listened to and it's sort of a soft core pron meets sci-fi but it's doing its job and keeping me entertained.

That's where kensie is from.
Ok, back to your regularly scheduled programming.

A FANTASTIC random imgurian [@pinkeater] has reminded me of the original gif that has not one, not too, but THREE ticks before the awesome boom. So I am posting that one as well. In honor of him... or her. Or they. Whatever.

I don't think anybody's really forgotten it - though I certainly would have, if not for Ksenia Solo. .

Try the "Rivers of London" by Ben Aaronovitch. And don't panic, I found your Lost Girl.

I like Rivers of London. It feels like it could exist adjacent to the Dresden universe, he actually explores why magic kills their tech.
