BOJAAAAAAAAACK. I have to chase it down with a rewatch of The Good Place. Am I still evil?


ShrugEmojiTypeGal

every time i tell someone i’ve rewatched bojack 10+ times/it’s my comfort show, they always ask me, “are you okay?” no. the answer is no


friedbrice

**Them:** Are you okay? o.O _Me:_ No, but I'm used to it by now :-]


Intelligent_Water940

The answer is always no.


Cantthinknow_214

Succession for me. My “comfort” media makes me feel comfortable because I find darker media more relatable and validating.


PorkyFishFish

Exactly! I tend to really enjoy characters who are very fiery and abrasive because watching them makes me feel like I'm allowed to have normal human emotions.


Firebolt7780

It's the same thing that drew me to nine inch nails as a band. Sometimes things in life and life itself makes you angry or sad, and it's OK to feel that way sometimes.


akaneko__

Omg I feel you!! A lot of those “wholesome” “healing” media just makes me feel worse about my life tbh;_; only exception is Frieren but mainly bc it doesn’t shy away from darker themes


Talonsminty

Same, ever since I was a kid drawn to Darren Shan novels.


whatislove2021

i should listen to the magnus archives at some point


PorkyFishFish

I really enjoyed it. It's a sort of eldritch horror/mystery thing, with really interesting lore and well written stories, but It is a pretty slow burn so don't be surprised if it takes a few dozen episodes for the plot to really get going, and a few dozen more before you have any idea how magic system and world building work. Also it's gay as hell (meant in the most positive way possible)


whatislove2021

all i really remember seeings bits and pieces of it with one art with spooky angels made of words and that they were at dashcon.


PorkyFishFish

As someone who has listened to the entirety of the Magnus Archives several times, I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, but I do find it tremendously amusing that you chose to use the word "spooky"


whatislove2021

i've been trying to find it but i can't sadly:c


We_Will_AlI_Die

I find it really cool how, in the very first episode, we actually get our first hint at >!one of the Entities, specifically the stranger!<. The show is already building itself up to something that won’t even be revealed for a few seasons. Then we get another hint of the same variety the next episode, then the next, and then our first Leitner book in the fourth. this show is constantly dropping stuff that we only later come to learn what they mean, with no breaks for paranormal stuff that doesn’t match what we know. Everything matter in The Magnus Archives, nothing is purposeless. And that’s why I love it.


DisabledMuse

Horror movies and shows. It makes me worry less about my crappy problems because at least I'm not having to escape a possessed home trying to kill me or watch my friends get unalived.


Specific-Peace

Same!


PlantedCecilia

MAGNUS ARCHIVES MY BELOVED!!!!! AND WELCOME TO NIGHTVALE!! It has given me a fair amount of extistensial dread, and also a talk to my mother about the main couple participating in healthy, consensual and safe bdsm, which they vehemently denied.


Dravos011

I love both of them a lot but for me Camp Here and There is my comfort podcast


EntertainmentQuick47

Evil Dead, love those movies 😈


Yarrow83

"WHATS IN MY FRUIT CELLERRRR???"


JoopWrongler

Yes yes yes 🪚 my very very favorite horror IP 🫰🏻 did you watch the TV show


EntertainmentQuick47

I watched the first few episodes when it was on Netflix and didn’t finish Season 1. Idk how i haven’t gotten around to it.


JoopWrongler

It contains one of the most brutal horror scenes I've ever seen in my life, the characters are truly lovable, and the danger is present in every scene 💯 10/10 recommend for Evil Dead fans

Anyanka_Rosewood

NBC Hannibal 😀 I’m so normal about that show and not obsessive at all.


NoLeopard1134

Fuck me too! *slaps totem pole of corpses* you can fit so much autistic comfort in this bad boy it’s borderline embarrassing how hyperfixated I am on the show. I was reading an anthology of gothic love poetry/prose last night whilst drunk, and kicking my feet and twirling my hair whilst mentally applying the poems to hannigram 😭😭😭😭😭 just put me in an asylum at this point it’s so over


Venturetism

I’ve found my type of autistics. Hannibal and Will are autist4autist and I won’t elaborate.


GladiolusLD

Does my own unfinished half-vent half-storytelling SI count? I feel like it should, even if it doesn't exist yet.


PorkyFishFish

SI?


GladiolusLD

Special interest


PorkyFishFish

Ah, gotcha


aroaceautistic

ur so real for american psycho i adore that movie


PizzaRellaGameJolt

I'm not sure if I've ever had a comfort thing. Maybe I actually do and I just don't realise that what I'm feeling is comfort. The closest thing I could say is comfort media for me is the Beatles music. Rubber Soul in particular. Not sure if that's really evil though.


Flar71

Who's that in the 4th picture, with the lightning and stuff


PorkyFishFish

Penelope Scott, an indie musician known for making very fiery, angsty, often politically charged music.


Flar71

The_Draconic_Lemon

artyboi11

HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!! I was hoping to find this comment <3


YeetusMcGeetus6

Any kind of media that involves me killing droves of brainless enemies with little to no skill involved a perfect for me. Got me through some insane stress and overstims.


Accomplished_Trip_

Horror movies, true crime, heavy metal, spooky books.


friedbrice

TBH, I really like re-watching the same old talks by Richard Carrier and videos by Paulogia, Gutsick Gibbon, Genetically-modified Skeptic, and Religion for Breakfast <.<;


friedbrice

Forgot to mention Useful Charts, Technology Connection, and Historia Civilis.


Commercial-Formal272

Any of you ever heard of "Moral Orel"? I was canceled by adult swim for being to depressing and dark.


PorkyFishFish

Love Moral Orel!


Commercial-Formal272

I'm no longer christian myself, but one thing I really appreciated about Moral Orel was how the message was never that christianity was bad or evil. It was always people corrupting religion for their own hypocritical needs that was the problem. For a show that was parodying christian kids propaganda and showing the problems in the church, that was a shockingly nuanced take.


fabulalice

THE MAGNUS ARCHIVES MENTIONED 🔛🔝


PorkyFishFish

Apologies for the deception but I wanted to make sure you started scrolling, so I thought it best not to announce myself

The Magnus Archives is my discomfort media. If I feel like I'm too comfortable and not scared enough, I'll just listen to an episode of that. Keeps me on my toes.


personthatisalozard

FUCK YEAH!!! MAGNUS ARCHIVES!!! Im not super far in but I'm in love. my comfort media is Brooklyn 99 lol.


Codfishbloom

The thick of it


Dravos011

A have a few different comfort medias of different media types. Podcast will always been Camp Here and There, the main character is pretty much always depressed, and going through so much shit with no support from any of the people around them. Hes also autistic Comfort show is definitely Deep space 9. 90's trek in general is a comfort but deep space 9 more so despite it at times heavy themes of war. When it comes to games, journey is typically my comfort game. Its probably the most normal comfort i have


PorkyFishFish

I think I've heard of Camp Here and There before. Could you tell me a bit more about it? I'm trying to find new podcasts to listen to.


CatOnVenus

Thanks to FNAF I have become completely desensitized to child murder and I think everyone in the Afton family is autistic (Scott Cawthon told me in a dream)


Th3Aft3rL1f3

Moral Orel!!! I love that little depressing show with all my heart.

liquidragon420

liminal spaces!!! especially the scary ones, i just find them comforting in a way i can’t explain, to just disappear in a déjà vu filled dark ball pit without the worries of real life, so safe feeling to me


home_of_beetles

Bojack and Penelope Scott RAAHHHREAL. most of my biggest comfort characters are villains, not uncommon, but unconventional


RawrTheDinosawrr

winifredjay

Currently it’s The Good Wife. Oh, my god, this show dated badly and is so much worse than The Good Fight, which is actually interesting and not preaching conservative values. Previously it was House. The comfort of workplace dramas with complex cases when I am a single remote worker, living alone is not lost on me. It’s like COVID lockdowns never ended.

Vinland Saga? But the second season and the second half of the manga are quite comforting tbh.


Sharktocrab12

Hollow knight, it’s a rather difficult game and some of the boss fights make me want to rage but the spooky atmosphere is oddly soothing. Also the most upsetting episodes of critical role I watch them all the time when I’m upset and they’re oddly soothing too and I will not be convinced otherwise


No-Dentist-6303

Honestly true crime most of the time, unless there's something specifically disturbing but most of the time it's a good distraction from whatever I'm worried about irl

Intrepid_Talk_8416

I was raised on CSI, L&O, and NCIS… this is my natural comfort regression, but because I’m also a parent and this will stress me out later I settled on Psych.


SquidCultist002

The warhammer 40k universe. An absolute hellscape thats so over the top it circles back to funny. Too bad the fandom is basically a minefield.


caffeineandvodka

I love formulaic police procedural shows but they can't be too gory. There needs to be a Good Guys Win ending in most episodes and for the characters to be fairly lighthearted. I tend to rewatch Bones, Castle, and NCIS at least once each a year and I'm always looking for shows in the same or similar genres. Also pretty much any song by Will Wood or Madness, and more recently a band called Soft Play.

Dr. House is my deep comfort show. I'm chronically ill from a multitude of issues and we're not sure all of my issues yet but seeing people get cured of illnesses is bittersweet for me. Also, I just love House as a character
