Donatella 

She’s something special, Has the hand of an artist, is extremely bright, intelligent, and appreciates “realness” but lives in a dream. Respects herself, and is beautiful in the most unique way possible and she can make you smile and have hope when you’re feeling your lowest. Is good at helping others but she has a bitter time helping herself. She’s a badass, she won’t get her heart broken easily but when she does crack she tends to try and keep it in. She acts shy at times and has an inner wolf, ready to snap back at any time, but insecurity lingers her constantly and drags her down. Perfection haunts her, she’s always trying to be the best and do it all for everyone, she feels that she simply has too. If you find one, you better hold on to her but not take advantage of her because she’s no fool. If you ever get on her best side, you’ll hold on to her like your life depends on it and she’ll always be there for you. When she is herself and loosens up a bit she can be mysterious and sexy.

A domate is a person who is in a relationship or friendship where their partner is considered the dominant one and they are the submissive. While it is usually considered sexual it does not have to be - nor is it strictly man to woman or woman to man. Women to women happen quite frequently while men to men can happen but not as often.

It also means that their partner will do what their dominant one tells them, often without question, to or to accept humiliating verbal insults or to be placed in demeaning situations that test their boundaries from time to time to remind them of their submissive position with them.

Psychologically the domate is usually somewhat immature, easily amused, childish, and has few boundaries. While their mate is Alpha, mature, reserved, and will confront usually quite boldly and with anger anything or anyone that threatens to break up this relationship.

While their dominant mate can be mean and demeaning to their domate most of the time, in truth, they really do look out for them and keep them safe and secure, but they would never admit that to them.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
