G’Morning
do you like fictional relationships because it’s cute or because you have a romanticized version of life and you’ve never really been loved by anyone before and you’re desperate to be so recklessly in love that everybody get sick just looking at you and your soulmate and now you’re living vicariously through a fictional character’s life just to feel something and there’s this frightening feeling building up inside you of but what if I don’t ever get to experience being loved like that and you don’t know just what went wrong in your life for you to be jealous over fictional characters
a redraw except they swapped places and are now wearing random suits hell yeah

WHEN I TELL YOU MY HEART FELL OUT OF MY ASS
ANYway fresh assortment of matchablossoms from the twitter
Hi! I’ve been a huge fan of your blog for a long while - sorry if this is a weird question, but you’re the only person I can think to ask.
What was my favourite show introduced a plot point that I absolutely hated. It ruined the season for me and possibly the whole show. I wrote a fix-fic, two in fact, but I still can’t help feeling bitter and upset over where canon went. It’s like I’m still hyperfixated on the show even though I hate it.
The show’s future is currently up in the air, and most of the fandom is actively campaigning to save it. And I feel awful but I really don’t want it renewed; the next season would probably be a direct follow-on to that plot point I hated and most of the fandom is rooting for that.
So I guess my question would be - how do I move on? What can I do to get over this feeling?
Oof. I wish I knew what to tell you anon. I also left my last fandom because I wasn't enjoying canon anymore and it really hurt a lot. I didn't want to leave behind the lovely people I'd met in the fandom, but I also didn't want to see anything to do with the new episodes and seasons. I struggled with it for a long time before just sort of abandoning ship.
I still love the first few seasons and I'll always love the characters, but I had to stop looking at anything new. I also ended up stopping writing and reading fic and making fanart. It left a big hole where all of that joy used to be, and I'm still trying to figure out how to fill it back up again.
In my case, I had a really good friend who felt similarly to me, and we just sort of went off and did our own thing. We write together and we've tried out new canons and new characters and new ships and it's not the same as that old love, but it's still good. Hopefully I'll find something I feel that passionately about again someday.
I recommend you find someone you can vent to about your feelings. It doesn't have to be someone who knows the fandom at all. Just someone who's willing to listen to you rant about how something you loved is now something you hate.
That's about as far as I've managed to get and I still miss it so much even though it's been arguably a long time. But it's easier now than it was when it was fresh and it'll get easier for you too. I know it ❤
Have any of you had experiences with this? How did you move on when canon disappointed you too much? How did you find happiness again on the other side?
Oof, okay, looks like it's my time to step up because I know this feeling. Putting this under a cut, it's long.
So, I dunno if y'all know, but if you don't - my big fandom (Homestuck, if anyone didn't check my name, yes this is my main) is currently in the middle of a situation...a lot like this one. We got an Epilogue that led into a sequel that, frankly, fucking sucked. It took the characters in shitty directions, clashed with canon information, was done by a team of fans with only some involvement from the OG author, clashed with the tone/intentional ambiguity of canon, was intentionally inflammatory, and a lot more - but that's besides the point. Naturally, it's tremendously unpopular, I can honestly say that the ratio of people I've interacted who disliked versus liked it all is easily five to one - I was formerly the one who did enjoy it, but the more I looked into it and the longer it continued, the less I liked it.
But, even though it was officially only "dubiously canon", it had an irrevocable and undeniable effect on the fandom as a whole - even on those who refused to read it. So, that kind of put me - and a ton of fans - in a similar position to you here. So, I don't know how good this advice will be - but these are things I know I or others around me did, and I can at least put them out there as options. Mind, most of these assume you'd rather not distance yourself from the whole thing.
1. Distance yourself from the plot point. Unfollow people and tags that talk about it, negative or positive - unless you'd like to keep at least some of these viewpoints in your feed. Ask friends not to talk about it, maybe avoid watching the future episodes or only watch them with the fact that they'll continue from that plot point well in mind. A simple break might help, and as A03COTD said, it can and will get easier with time - a new wound will usually hurt worse. If you still want to be part of the fandom, focus on the things prior to that plot point, at least for a bit - take yourself out of the thick of things with the one you really hate.
2. Fix its, as many as you want. I am aware of the fact that you said you wrote some, but frankly I doubt there can ever be enough fix fics. Looking at those of others can also help. Similarly, spite fics! Write specifically to spite and mock this plot point. Snidely point out how this would never happen. Laugh over how easy it is to avert - or write a fic about how hard it was to avoid, how close they came to going through that, and breathe a written sigh of relief. Diverge earlier, spin canon to your self-indulgent will and whimsy, replace it with plot points that you do want, twist it into something you enjoy. Parody it, even! Some spite, laughter, and self-indulgence can go a long way. Even just slamming out outlines or brainstorming ideas, simple and funny or complex and intricate, can be incredibly fun and cathartic. Even steal whatever you do like from that plot point, and run with it - taking a good part of a bad idea and making it better is also something that can be fun!
3. Consume other content. Focus on other fandoms you enjoy, or seek out a new one. Find something else to fill up your time and attention, to pull you away from this - whether it's until you feel ready to dive back in, or permanently. Fandoms and interests are hard to replace - but one thing you can do is find other things to enjoy. That could include, specifically, things that make you feel better in general - games or shows or similar that you like, nostalgic things, fun mindless things, all of those can take you out of a bad mood and might help, or at least soothe the hurt, on the scale going on here.
4. Vent about it a bit! Whether it's to the void of Tumblr in general, a space in your fandom where people might agree with or hear out your views, or your friends - whether they're in the same fandom or not - a bit of venting and talking about what's bothering you and why it's bothering you can help a lot. Even if the person or people you're talking to has or have little context for it, simply having someone listen and sympathize can take a weight off the shoulders.
I don't know how much or if any of this helps - but I really hope it does. I'm no expert, but I know this kind of stuff helped me and people around me through bullshit like this, so hopefully it does you some good too. ^_^
