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.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

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.
