Anyways— reading this post, I can't say I don't have similar, if not the EXACT SAME thoughts for this show.
The showrunners themselves have mentioned that most things they do are for money.. Hell, all those stream 'rewards' (spoiler episodes, selling models, letting the fans choose the next arcs..) are for their own personal gain.
Honestly, are they even trying anymore? Because it surely doesn't feel like it.
People can be salty and argue on me with this that, "It's hard to continue lore when it's been going on for so long!!"
...You know, there's a point where you just have to end the goddamn story???
Everything has to end eventually.
Whether it's a story, someone's life or the whole planet itself.
You CANNOT be adding lore onto lore and expect it to be good. Especially if it's rushed.
Something the showrunners CLEARLY haven't learned.
That explains the amount of plot holes, repeated lore, CONSTANTLY KILLING OFF CHARACTERS JUST TO BRING THEM BACK??????
THAT ITSELF WAS CONFIRMED TO BE JUST FOR MONEY BY DAVIS HIM-FUCKING-SELF
No wonder why the viewership has been so low. People are tired of it's shitty and HORRIBLY BIASED writing, myself included.
I've seen literal teenagers write better lore. Just saying.
They've quite literally butchered EVERYONE.
NOT TO MENTION HOW SOME THINGS HAPPEN FOR NO PLOT?? FOR NO REASON??? JUST FOR THE DRAMA????
Or how the other characters suck so hard. The shamrocks being my prime example (minus nova frost)
I'm not the only one who finds this weird.. right???
"Women could safely enter the building without getting harrased" WHY is that a thing.
Genuinely tell me why the absolute fuck you would include something like that into your own character if it has no lore purposes?? (By that, I mean when issues like that are shown in media to SPREAD AWARENESS)
To be a weird creep???? Is that it???
WHY ARE WE NORMALIZING THAT KIND OF BEHAVIOUR???????
AND YEAH, IT'S SHOWN OTHER CHARACTERS DO NOT LIKE GOMER BUT HE REALLYY NEEDS SOMEONE TO GIVE HIM A REALITY CHECK
NOBODY'S SAYING ANYTHING ABOUT IT EITHER. PEOPLE ARE LAUGHING ABOUT IT. THE SHOWRUNNERS ARE FINE WITH IT, THE FANS TOO.
DOES THIS NOT RAISE RED FLAGS FOR YOU GUYS??
And don't you dare tell me shit like "It's not that deep", YES IT IS. GO FUCK YOURSELF.
DOESN'T DAVIS LITERALLY HAVE A SOON TO BE WIFE?? ALSO KNOWN AS, KAT????
I don't know about you guys, but I would be very pissed if my partner did that shit.
I don't have one but STILL
And they also keep hyping up villains/new plots but they end up being absolute dogshit. (Overseer COUGH COUGH, OVERSEER—)
Let's be real. His whole arc sucked.
I had to force myself to watch all of those videos, literally.
It was so predictable, everyone knew he'd die like???? Wowww! I'm SO surprised! /sarc
My point is— "Modern tsams" sucks.
It's a content farm, the writers are greedy, the writing itself is horrible, it has the stupidest plot points I've ever seen, very predictable and so on.
Yeah, that's harsh but the truth is the truth.
Now that I've gotten all of that off my chest.. some are probably wondering why I even wrote this to begin with?
I'll be honest with you guys, I'm done. Done with this fandom and shitty show.
Old tsams, in other words, the GOOD tsams ended a long time ago and it's not coming back.
(Used to be one of the rotten ones and I liked you for that.. Now you're all gone, got your make up on and you're not coming back. Can't you come back? /Lyr)
Perhaps, me wanting the old tsams back is the reason I've stayed in this fandom for so long already. But I can't anymore.
I can't keep making myself watch this goddamn channel. It feels like a chore.
... But I also can't really say I never liked this show. Because that's not true.
This show was the only thing keeping me alive at one point. It used to be the only thing that made me happy. The only thing I looked forward to.
And I definitely won't just forget everything of it. Especially not sun, the character I saw myself in and loved so dearly.
Nor will I isolate myself 100% from it.
I'll still read that fanfic sequel I always get excited over ("a change to start again" by SaurexHAS).
I'll still watch those "what if" videos since they usually include old lore.
I'll still check on the videos from time to time.. And I'll be stuck in the old lore for a while until I'm ready to fully let go. Because man.. this shit is NOT easy to do
I'm usually the type of person to live off of one fandom for years, so you can only imagine how this is for me 😭😭
I don't know what I'll do after this, to be honest. I'm trying to get into hazbin hotel but school sucks and so does my mental health.
As for this tumblr account.. definitely not deleting it, NAH. THIS IS HISTORY, AIN'T NO WAY I'M DELETING IT
I don't know what I'll do with it but deleting it is not an option
Thank you to all of you. You guys are so kind and I'll definitely miss you.
A thing I will never forget is staying up till like 5 am writing a theory/rant just to make you guys happy (😭 MY FAULT LMFAOOOO)
Thank you to @goodolddumbbanana for the amazing comics you've made. They always brought me joy. I don't think you notice how pretty your art style truly is. I also always looked forward to reading your opinions and theories, I looked up to you.
And of course, thank you to my pookie @skeinvelity whom I love dearly and will indeed continue talking to <3333
To think one silly tumblr post is what made us meet...
Genuinely, thank you for everything. I don't think you realize how important you are in my life. You'll always be my dearest friend
Farewell, I'll miss you guys.
