The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:
-
Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.
-
Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.
-
Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.
-
Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).
Jump in the discussion.

Notes -
Attack on Titan can be loosely understood as a kind of mix between Game of Thrones, where the cast is vulnerable to sudden death (sense of foreboding and unpredictable world), Inception or the Matrix, where the action scenes are unique, tense, and cool (flying through the air with powered grappling hooks and swords is not a concept you'll see anywhere else), and Lost, where there's a compelling mystery underneath everything that's going on (and like Lost, arguably has a bit of a let-down of an ending, although not that bad).
But yeah, not for everyone. Maybe The Walking Dead would be another analogy, though the thrills and horrors of that series are a little more performative in my opinion.
I feel like it's a show I'd have watched when younger, and I understand their interest in it. My wife's stereotype of me is that I like dark depressing films that require thought. This isn't wrong, but it's hardly the only genre I am interested in. I expect they (my sons) have some of my traits, but also Boys.
So...something like Grave of the Fireflies or Haibane Renmei might be more up your alley?
