Okay. This sucks. This fucking sucks, and it's unfair, and this show deserved better, and the cast and crew deserved better, and we deserved better. I'm gutted myself and I feel awful for all of us right now.
But. Even with a 40% budget cut, we got an amazing second season. We got to see Ed and Stede choose to start an amazing life together, on their own terms, feeling more at peace with themselves. Nothing can take that away from them - never again will we have to worry Ed crying in a window was the last we'd see of him!
And, as if the fucking amazing show we have isn't enough, this fandom has some of the best people I've ever met. There are so many smart, funny, incredibly talented people in this fandom and I'm so happy to be a part of it. I love you all and nothing can take that away from us, either.
We got this show in the first place, that never apologizes for being weird and camp and queer. This is a show that had to fight uphill to get made, every step of the way, but it's made with so much love and it shows. We got it, and it's good - at the end of the day, we won.
