how wild it was, to let it be

The world without you is a scary thought. A darker, stranger place where funny things aren’t funny if I can’t see you laugh at them and there’s no point in pictures if I can’t show them to you and good news that I can’t tell you about isn’t good news at all. And I know it’s not up to me but I pray to God I never have to be a part of that world.

“I am writing but I am writing always about the same thing. About wanting. About longing. I am feeling but always the same thing. An ache. A yearning. It is so boring. Let me feel something else for once. Let me be full. As the water fills the cup, let me be full.”

Love is a Metaphysical Gravity (by Reuben Wu)

[memoryslandscape-deactivated202]

The term ‘soulmate’ is often misused because many think it simply refers to 'the person you love’ or 'the person you’re marrying.’ But the truth is, and for those of you who have found or met your soulmate will know this, it is a totally different feeling and experience than just being with someone you love. When you have met your soulmate, not only have you fallen head over heels in love, but you have this connection that you feel either on an intellectual, spiritual, or emotional level. This feeling is difficult for many to describe. But your soulmate has your entire heart, and the relationship is much more intense than a regular one. This person is not only your entire another half, but they’re the person that just gets you, the only person who feels like home and like you’ve known them through many lifetimes (which your soul has). You cannot imagine life without this person, but the saddest thing is when in this life, you and your soulmate are just not meant to be. At least not yet.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been this attached to a fictional character, and to be honest, I didn’t realize how attached I truly was until faced with his death. While I’m not entirely convinced he’s gone (it’s difficult to fathom that a showrunner would knowingly torpedo their show into the ground like this), I wanted to pay tribute to the journey that this incredible character has gone through over the course of three seasons. #bringbackmelendez

Okay, so hear me out. I think David Shore has a real opportunity here. Based on that brutal finale, I think he’s either a) a terrible writer who doesn’t give a shit about his fans or b) an evil genius, and I’m hoping it’s option B.

Think about it - the reaction to killing Melendez off has been pretty wild and from what I’ve seen on social media, it’s garnered a lot of attention. I’ve never seen so much anger and upset over the death of a fictional character. Right now, Shore has a lot of people talking about his show, right? But a lot of people are also threatening to stop watching - myself included. 

However, if he were to actually surprise us by having Melendez survive, then Shore will have achieved the best of both worlds - he’ll have shone a spotlight on his show and gotten people talking, while ultimately, not losing any of his viewership. 

I think (well, I hope) there’s a reason why we never saw a conclusive death. There was no code called (sure, maybe he signed a DNR), no one pronounced him, a sheet wasn’t covering his body, etc. Why not give us something definitive if you were really killing off such a major character? 

Anyway, here’s hoping David Shore is actually a mastermind that’s playing us like puppets instead of a heartless monster :)
