You're talking to Serenity. And, Early... Serenity is very unhappy.

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think I may be too invested in Mark's write-ups.
That's what I was wondering. The phrasing seemed weird, but if you are, that's precisely the phrasing that describes it. I guess when he pours so much emotion into it, the people that like that are matching with more emotion too.
It's pretty much why I run screaming from the room.

I tend to think "Poor wee darlings, everything feels so big at that age." Then I feel old and cynical and go back to reading about the jewelry of the royal family.

It may be a reaction to apparent age, he had a very isolated upbringing.
ie: his innocence level seems higher than most.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Was he raised in the wild by Muppets? Because that's the impression I'm getting from how intensely *everything* must be reacted to.

I would think by this time some of the tropes of storytelling would be sinking in.

Mark Reads. Again, like the first time. All over again.
