ok the whole blame game and that the critics and social media talking about Carol and saying āwould u blame her?ā and basically telling us what we should think and feel. š
Ā I just feel that whole thing is weird. I think itās because itās a story. Thereās people who wanna watch a character rise and fall and rise again. Itās also depends how the writers will do it..which is partly likeĀ ādo you (still) trust the writers?āĀ āDo you still think the character is still in-character?ā If yes, then just wait and see how it plays out. Maybe the character will come around. I mean to me personally s9-Carol was the worst...I hated it because I feel she was the most out of character of Carol. So.. lol. But right now, IMO, I still feel Carol is in-character. I still think the writers have a plan on that sheās in this revenge arc and at her worst. And making mistakes and she cares-she cried ...that sheās like oh shit my TF is injured and Iām messing things up but want this revenge so bad. I think ep 9 is her breaking point.Ā
The whole blame game from fandom/social media is like the fans donāt have the control on this story...and every fan have their bias and opinion. So what. Itās like Idc what you guys think. Itās up to me if I feel writers are consistent and Carol is still in-character. Itās up to my opinion.Ā
If itās all in real life and not a story(with arcs, plots, character development ..life is everything and unpredictable) I would say hey Carol donāt get involved in these missions or I would tell her if sheās so determined to kill Alpha and not focusing on her loved ones, I need to have my space and avoid Carol. I donāt need drama in my life like that. So I guess in that way Daryl will be doing similar to that. If Carol cares that Daryl is walking away, that shows she cares about Daryl/TF more than Alpha/revenge. And that would be a good thing for Carolās story/character development.Ā
i donāt like that im realizing t$df, the forum is biased on anything like character death. I mean the real spoilers they get(screeners, leaks) are real or we get them early whatever. And we know the forum is very anti Carol/CaryI.Ā
Spoilers~
keep reading
I just thought they would be upfront and honest with C0nnieās fate. The fandom needs everyone..they need Carol fans too to find evidence. So on that forum itās like the ones who are saying āhey idk about C0nnieās fateā -itās coming from Carol fans or looks like it. It looks like CaryI/Carol fans harping and rubbing salt on wounds onto the others.
It sucks I just thought they would be neutral and respectful..listen to everyone. Instead theyāre biased..and kept going into the denial road. And not listening to any Carol fans. Which I realized I get it, the C/D0nnie fans donāt trust any Carol fans. I thought they would be open-minded but fandom is not and so they gonna ignore Carol fans on what they say.
ETA. I realized that since the forum is biased/anti CaryI fandom, think of it as a group of C0nnie/D0nnie fans there. The spoiler is about C0nnieās fate and LR filming schedule n stuff. People want to want to hear bad news only from their friends. For example, Carol is rumored to die and we donāt know MMB will be in the show, CaroI fans donāt wanna hear it from the antiās spoilers and evidence of the spoilers. Carol fans would want to hear bad news from their friends/Carol fans because of trust and knowing theyāre not trolling. So, I guess I understand where theyāre coming from.
If my fave character will die I want true answers. No wishywashy denial answers. I think it doesnāt matter tho for me with spoilers and stuff. Because I just know I will look everywhere. Look on one side and the other sides of the fandom to decide what I think is true. ...I wouldnāt just assume, be cocky, be nasty, and then, if be wrong, play victim. So, just go with ur gut. Till when the ep comes.Ā
I guess I care about this character death thing because I feel bad for ones who have to wait 3 months or a week for to know when ur fave character will die or not. (But itās mostly gonna be coming from their friends, not me-CaryIer)Ā
Itās hard to wait and can go crazy. Iāve been in that boat before. I thought T$DF/fandom would handle it well but so far theyāre not, IMO. I think if anyoneās worried about their fave character they will search up and know something is up with their fave. (All C0nnie fans on the web know something is up.) Itās up to them to handle how and when the time comes. And that really just go with your gut and look at all different perspectives.Ā
--eta. i just idk whatās really bothering me. I think itās just the fandom and how they are. T$df (forum) is biased and not neutral so (thereāsĀ ācarolā forum and other forums out there) ..thereās a lot of petty shit going on. Forums and twitter is alike or everyones on their crappy trash talk to each other. No oneās sharing and seeing the big picture of whatās going on/whatās the closest true spoiler is. C0nnie/D0nnie fans donāt wanna hear it from CaryIers.
I feel like I wanna help the fandom and fix it. But ..like all fandoms thereās always drama. So.. I need to not be so involved in it. Idk. I feel like if Cnnie dies or not ..thatās a breaking point on the (small-after s9)fandom/T$df..theyāre gonna totally be more of dick to Carol fans. ... :( But then again they already (generalizing) hate us. So.. avoid fandom...stick with ur friends.
Anyway I know the sp rumor of 9-10. Basically both forums donāt know anything and just guessing and its based on luck. I still donāt how things work out and stuff. Weāll see soon.Ā
OT----I also wanna say the other day I remembered that when speculating a LOT and it leads to people to depend on it. Speculating is fun but thinking of ur theory so long and depending on ur theory is not good. Always gotta still be open-minded on other spoilers and directions where the story could go.Ā Iām also saying that Idc about the show ...and know the show will end dumb ...low ratings or something. The show alreadyĀ āendedā when Rick left or s7f. I care a bit of the show/CaryI but ..meh. So if CaryI doesnāt happen or be weird, Iām like whatever the show ended on s7.
And itās not the end of the world when itās not canon on the ship/character/story. hello, fanfiction. story is a story.
anyway its sad to see some R ship stans being petty and rooting for a ABC ship so then R ship can still be #1 and Mlchonne can still be #1. They hate CaroI and C@ryl.Ā
eh why? Why not ship both or focus loving on one ship. It sucks. I can tell theyāre kinda spiteshipping cos they would not talk about it again till the next appearance in the new ep. Their main ship is R ship or hating C@ryl (those ones-wtf move on from your anger pls.). I know Carol isnāt a fave to everyone but like cāmon this show is not a competition on who is the #1 or last standing character in the show. Itās a story. Anyway, R shippers/abcers ...like I would say the show now is not what it is anymore obviously. So I would quit the show if nothing interests u.Ā
The movies are gonna happen and so focus on that ok.Ā
i keep posting of these things. I guess I keep messing it up. Weāre human. ok.
im just all fed up with it. im tired of it. but hey itās hiatus and i think itās fine for now. Just gotta ignore the fandom wank or those stans/twitter(seriously twitter is the worst place to see the wank). really i donāt need the fandom that much ukno. just do stuff I enjoy. Just be me. Nice shippers are still around. The crappy shippers/stans are a few and loud.
I think thereās something with the two forums going on...with the C0nnie spoilers and shippers. Itās really weird.
first of all, i know people saying theyāre stans like itās a super fan and positive way. But really stans of somethings/someone, those stans are so annoying. I donāt think stans are a good thing. Or people who generalize and single out things of their fave and then trash others..is not cool. MostĀ āshipwarsā are about the shippers/grudges on the shippers. I donāt understand why some stans treat their faves like gods when eh their human/fictional. I also feel like I donāt know this fan. It reminds me of the show Bones, when Brennanās cousin (sis) identity was like all about what and who Benjamin Franklin is. Um yeah I ..gotta stay away from twitter.
Sharing is caring. No one said you have to be a fan of one ship or one character. Generalizing a group of shippers will not make peace; u gonna make more fights. Block the crappy immature ones. Itās a story. Characters grow, writers may fail or have something great in plan. Itās not a game; a character doesnāt win/out-fame the world. Itās an ensemble show/Hollywood business. Anyway Iām tired of people shitting others when they donāt know them really. Sigh ..it just sucks. I like C ship and R ship but I canāt interact/talk anyone cos not a lot of people are fan of both ships or fan/openminded/not shitting of everyone. (but I guess thatās how fandom works.) Funny thing on the forum, if I wanna talk about R ship, the shippers donāt wanna see it.. or something. Theyāre thinking like stans already. Theyāre all generalizing or so. Idk.Ā The haters going wtf and the wholeĀ āliking postā thing ..kinda like some popularity drama. It all goes awkward. I mean for me itās awkward to see it and donāt wanna join along the discussion. Thereās the whole hive mind thing going/generalizing. I stg (twitter) drama is so weird and immature. Itās like a gang fight but like itās story and everyoneās get their focus. (seriously i was talking about R ship on the forum and hoping it goes well and the other R shipper(this person is always rude btw) assumes I was being a fake and sarcastic. That sucks. And some fans have really bad anger issues..like I worry about them as humans ..they need to let it go. You donāt have to argue..be fools. Sometimes my hopes for a story or a ship doesnāt always come out the way I wanted and I just deal with it and move on. )
ok so idk some R stans are like must be d-con shippers or think C shippers are all the bad things when sldkfjlsj itās just dumb competitive fighting and vs. Just stop. Why are people always wanna a win an argument. (be cocky and play victim). ugh wtf. Seriously I see both sides of those shippers and these people all are similar in their beliefs/politics irl.Ā Anyway, so I just think donāt get to invested in fandom/friends. Everyone got a list of different ships.Ā
And I think forums are like easily to get upset at. Everyoneās reading ur comment, people tend to want to argue/debate every little thing, and mods like no thatās off topic go here. Ugh. lol So eh forums.. Anyway ..so Iām just saying if ya wanna vent go to twitter or tumblr. idk.Ā
Anyway I noticed T$DF is ukno anti Carol/Caryl most of the time. Most antis go there. And thereās the zone forum which is very pro Caryl forum. Itās like T$DF is missing out the C fans of the fandom and therefore missing some info. Itās weird. So when weāre getting more info that LR isnāt in s10B that much, the fans from the zone or/and, others who are thinking logically,(like they want facts and spoilers and not being shippy/biased), were getting frustrated that T$DF isnāt really saying that C*nnie isnāt in 10B that much. Usually people would put her in the death watch as in 50/50 way. Rosita was already talked about and stuff because of the actressās show, but not C0nnie? So in a way, itās like T$DF is being in denial or biased. I guess it is but still nothing really confirmed about C0nnieās fate, and the spoilery fans already know in their heads that itās 50/50 with her fate. So when the other fans and Carol fans who are just wanting to bring C0nnieās fate up (in a logical way Iām assuming) because ep 8 and 9 are coming soon and to warn others I guess, but T$DF and antis donāt wanna hear it and assume the other fans (mostly Carol fans out about) are being petty and bringing it up because of the D ship, etc. When itās like T$DF are being emotional about it and like being in denial. Yeah I also think the fans discussing in the death thread..itās gonna be a rough thread to read in no matter what. People are gonna speculate ur fave will die. But *some people who said it, doesnāt mean they think they WANT that character to die. Some people are thinking with facts and spoilers about it and speculating ur fave will die. But whatever, I guess itās depends on the group on the forum and how everyone treat each other. I think some fans from T$DF, who are C0nnie fans, already got info in mind and so itās up to them to decide what to do with it. I donāt wanna keep mentioning it or bringing drama. They already know whatās up so, ok.
For me, I want to know the spoilery facts and keep it logically. Rip the bandaid. Being in denial isnāt gonna be good in the long run and for the fans.Ā
BTW, C0nnie was like 70% dead (with the Zoneās spoiler) but now with that reviewerās tweet hinting? at Bowlās filming summary post, and T$DF canāt confirm(doesnāt know it) the spoiler that Zone had. I guess itās stuck in 50/50. so ok whatever.Ā
Iām gotta say a character dying in the mid season is the worst, I realized. Itās easy to fall into that trap of hoping and wishing for the fave to make it out. Iām glad Carol isnāt part of this death theory so far. I guess forums tend to be biased because of like what the group is like.Ā
itās annoying how people generalize because that always makes more arguments or ship wars. so...ok.
when people sayĀ āthese A shippers are mean.ā Itās always like true AND false. Because theyāre generalizing. And it doesnāt mean B shippers are better...healthier..smarter. ( a ship goes canon;ā their shippers are smart etcā. NOPE. lol Just lucky.)
Ā Itās ahh itās just thereās bad apples on both sides and each ship of shippers. So just block the rude ones.Ā āthe A shippers are mean...etc and does this and that etc.ā Iām like what? I didnāt do those things. If someone did one of those things I would block the person ukno. So. sigh yeah. argh i hate hive mind talk too.Ā
I see this stuff all the time. And the competitiveness. Eh. Itās always pro-boy fandom of girl fans. women hating on women kinda thing. zzz
Ā We all got opinions. Canāt change peopleās minds about it. So scroll on. (no one got the same list of ships with someone else)
eta. yeah these ship wars are always actually being shipper wars.
Bored and petty. That forum is just not for me (and I donāt like how the mods donāt stop the fights and bullies). wow wtf lol abcāers really go at it. Iām surprised about the R shipās # of posts/thread but i think theyāre 2nd place from last fall and they had their own forum tittd. itās like deartv/twdzone for the carylers(imo).Ā
whatever.Ā If fandom is full of shippers, then that forum is full of anti-carylers.
-i love R and C ships. Thereās so many Daryl-ships lol. I donāt ship a lot and I care a few.
*eta. 5 days later, D0nnie thread has now the most # of posts. lol short timed ships being popular. (its daryl tho thats why) Itās funny to me. I think I would have liked D0nnie. But pssssh, C ship 5ever and it make sense to me characterize and I like ship that build up their relationship for awhile/slowburn.
*OT------------------
hmm it seems like some the ABC/Ders were B3thylers. (actually the first anti caryl ship is Daryl/Andrea) So what I donāt get is that if my fave character died and therefore the ship aint happening. idk I would like not watch the show anymore. I would be disinterested in it. So Idk how these fans kept going. But I get it that itās hard to quit a show or still love some parts of the other characters, theme, and ships. Also, it seems like some shippers are like spite-shipping ..when they could just not do it. You donāt have to do it since youāre a shipper. Ship what u really like and what gives u feels. But i get that thereās some shippers who ship everything and be a multi-shipper. lolĀ
*idk ...I just ignore the fandom ( equals fansā opinions). Follow the nice people.
*i was bored and looked at the stansā comments. really itās the stan shippers/faves that are like O_O so dramatic and petty. And they want their fave to be #1!!!one! Eh. omg why not both(or more)? Both sides act the same. Just stop looking into drama. Itās unhealthy. ugh this drama is like in real life too.Ā
*sometimes I say fandomwank is there cos weāre bored. :P
its been such a wild 3 days of learning about this finale spoiler on C/E breakup. I realized in fandom itās full of shipper stans. the spoiling forum lol is all gloom which means they donāt care about caryl/ers. And how i see based on writings and signs, sometimes wait for answers or thatās (new) showrunnersā style. like what i kinda suspected, C/E broke up like whatever in a rush cos they got together in a rush too. Itās all for plot. And Im excited to have Carol in Kingdom plot to end. Carol to be with Team Family/ interact with Daryl and Michonne more. Carol being part of the main storyline more hopefully.
yet idk what to think on TWD/āspinoffā show. TWD still shoulda ended in s8 or earlier and itās still kinda weird with Caryl as last two OGs ..and if they get together, thereās no Rick and Carl and others there. It still isnāt really TWD. Well Iām mainly hoping for team family, Caryl, in the RG movies and see Richonn3 reunite.
Still gonna be invested in the story by reading filming/ep spoilers. :D Caryl on.
ps. whatever may be until filming starts, May?, I can be all :D on Caryl and enjoy what we got, fanart, and be hopeful.Ā
ship wars are so dumb. both sides arguing and nothingās changed. lol waste of time. u guys are talking to a brick wall. shipper-stans are so petty ..and extreme. Ok just really look for the respectful people and block the nasty ones. I guess I donāt like stans...or nasty stans. Oh and people love to generalize which always cause arguments.Ā
idk ship wars or arguments, are like debates. I donāt like to argue or debate with someone. Also, itās my opinion on the show..so thatās it. It doesnāt mean me or u are correct. Just go with ur feels. Idk some like to debate and have game talk. so..
Ā Itās weird how each shipdom basically do the same things(-shipping their faves, fanfics ect.) except one character or both are different. Not one shipdom is better and unproblematic.
i kno it can get personal. but if these x shippers rounding up calling the y shippers racist, homophoic, etc...when they could just block the person or single out the person that is causing the problem and not call it the whole group/shipdom. :)
Ā Why these shippers either in (x or y) keep looking for drama, āevidenceā, screenshot of tweets and stuff, for What? for Who? Other fans can make up their minds. X shippers calling Y shippers racist. So, then what? X and Y shippers already know for years that they disagreeĀ with each otherās shipping opinion. Other fans are indifferent and they can make their own opinion and do their own thing. So.. X shippers trying to like what ...have Y shippers/fans lose their jobs, make their rl life awful, die? wtf Idk u guys are wasting time and energy on that.
Idk. um really though all shippers are alike and ...so just stop with the drama. Once that show is over and we just so happen to be a fan of another show and love this same pairing. We end up liking the same pairing. :P Not everyone likes the same OTPs I have.Ā Uh so follow the nice people ok.
itās like real life... so judge a person by their character and not their ship or group. Or ignore the whole fandom. Itās whatever the writers will do and thereās always fanfics.
