Y'ALL GO WATCH TRISTIN AND LUCAS'S IG STORIES
If you don't know what's happening on Twitter... Imma update you a bit.
We've been fighting like hell there. It's like fighting a freaking virtual war.
It's been a rollercoaster of emotions and emotions take a toll on a person. Specially if you're trying to tweet a hashtag as much as you can during the day.
Reminder that we aren't a big fandom, even if A LOT of fans made themselves Twitter accounts to help with the fan campaign.
But just when things get better: the hashtag starts trending (because there are fans tweeting literlly 24/7 since last Wednesday), the media acknowledges us (thanks to fans that spent all weekend contacting everyone), action is taking place (thanks to the fans that immediately after the announcement got the idea to start a petition and send paperclips), the cast and crew send their love via likes and sneaky RTs or IG stories, the writers take down the "goodbye" tweet...
Just when things get better, on Tuesday the promo pics for the finale get released and they shook us to the core because suddenly another week has gone by and we're closer to the finale and the cancelation is suddenly VERY REAL (although MacGyverCBS has yet to make an official announcement).
Just when we recover energies today (Wednesday) after resting and taking care of our mental health (it's difficult to keep a good mental health in a big group because one person's emotion can sway everyone's emotions for better or for worse) then we see that the set they rented to film said goodbye to MacGyver after 5 years but now the building was free.
And behind the scenes we're trying to organize rallies, watch parties, be all over the internet, recruit other fandoms, recruit our own fandom, search for prices for advertisments, billboards, baners, see what other shows have done to save theirs, send emails EVERYWHERE, TWEETING AMIDST ALL THIS, call offices to confirm internet information, produce compelling edits, produce content in general, talk to each other, be each other's strenght, trying to come up with new ideas while your coffee is running low at late hours of the night...
All of that is happening and it's a hard battle but then again we are not alone because when we were overwhelmed by the media attention and suddenly having success which a bunch of people quickly wanted to rebuke ("what you're doing is pointless") Meredith posted a picture of herself with a lot of paperclips.
After all the promos yesterday she also posted right before bedtime a comforting RT to a fan that comforted us all.
After all the emotions today, Lucas and Tristin team to share those stories.
And we know if they could they would be supporting the campaign very publicly but we have to understand, WE DO UNDERSTAND that they are doing AS MUCH AS THEY CAN.
Like, these litttle posts are literally as much as they can do and it honestly, it's enough for me.
Not only them but Monica and the rest of the crew are on this too.
That Monica hasn't said a single word this whole week about the campaign (nothing more than a bunch of likes) it's because they're working on saving MacGyver in their end too.
Well... I needed to vent. As you can see.
The conclusion is... er...
We're all in this together?
The conclusion is, it's going to be a long fight so let's not give up. EVEN WHEN WE'RE FEELING DEFEATED, LET'S NOT GIVE UP.
Networks can look like big monsters that cannot be taken down from their pedestal BUT IT'S BEEN PROVEN WRONG SEVERAL TIMES.
The answer is in our determination.
If you're feeling sad, anxious, upset or optmistic, relaxed, motivated... You are allowed to FEEL AS MUCH AS YOU WANT. That's good, that's what makes us human. FEEL and be grateful that you can feel!
And then, after you've allowed yourself to feel, remember to not give up.
