What they did with Quinn and especially in the finale was so fucked up that I just don't trust this show anymore. I wouldn't be surprised if they brought Quinn back and then just killed him in some random episode like 6.07. I'll watch but my relationship with Homeland is seriously damaged. I'm hoping not beyond repair but we'll see.

Right there with you, anon. Right there with you.

I really don’t know if they can ever make it right, and make me love the show again. I’ll be there for Quinn, but I have zero expectations for s6, tbh.

Let’s see if they can manage to fix some of the mess they made with s5??

Hi Claudia! Cactus friend here - I'll try to remember the first part that you didn't get: so basically, I wrote I'm not sure it's any good, still figuring out the melody, so far I've written a bunch of depressing Q and C/Q songs, that's somehow easier for me (wonder why that is, especially after this season ha) so this was an unexpected happy turn - a happy Quinn/cactus song. And you inspired that! Go ahead if you want to, I'm a little shy about it though, I'm not sure it's any good..

 CACTUSES DON’T BITE: You say you belong to the dark / but baby, to me, you’ve always been the light / You think well, cactuses they bite / but did you know they’re fluffy inside? I know your armour, I know your core inside / so believe me when I say / cactuses don’t bite. /  Without caring they survive /  but I can’t live without your beaming smile / Step out from the darkness, cactuses don’t bite / and believe me when I say / you’ve always been my light  :)

…Hope the message got through this time..oh and the song is called CACTUSES DON’T BITE :) it’s an excerpt I rewrote it a bit as I was typing that the first time. Also, I need to find a happier tune for it because each time I sat by the piano, all the C/Q melodies coming to my head were so damn depressing and cactuses aren’t depressing they need happy tunes! maybe some happy jazzy ones! ;)

Awww the song is so sweet, anon!! Thank you for sharing!! :D

And oooohhh you got me at ‘Quinn song’ !! I was just thinking before reading your last couple of messages, and because of the cactus song, how the Hannibal fandom wrote original songs about the show and the characters. I know, random thought… but the point is, just after that I get your message talking about you writing Q songs! Anyway, if you ever feel like sharing some of them, please do!! :D

aw thanks for answering this! Seriously, you made me read about cactuses haha and inspired me so much (and helped me to ease my grief), that not only I'm gonna buy that cactus and cherish it forever but I also wrote a song about the tender side of cactuses haha and it made me feel so much better :-) Iove you guys xx

No problem, cactus friend anon! I’m so glad to read you’re feeling better!!! :D

OMGGGG I WANNA LISTEN TO THE CACTUS SONGGGGGGG PLEEEASEE.

I noticed you compared Quinn to a cactus on twitter - that's so accurate! Hard on the outside, fluffy inside, aww, out sweet trash prince! I think I'm gonna buy a cactus and name it Quinn! And I'm gonna calm down and be happy 'cos I guess I won't watch HL with carrie-saul-dar (btw, the pictures from the PCA were hilarious! like if this is the s6 preview - hard pass!!!) I hope you are feeling better now! (I sometimes circle in anger/sadness/hope) hugs xx

Hey !!

Yesssss, that’s exactly what @katdzenjammer  and I meant with the analogy!

Hard on the outside, tender on the inside, have a lot of endurance, and even when living in dry and bleak conditions, they can be so beautiful!

Yes do it! Get yourself a little Quinn! I have mine which, before this analogy, I admit was half dying because I wasn’t taking very good care of it…. ooops. But now it’s getting better!

Yeah, dear anon, I’m doing good, thanks! I think putting some distance between me and the show and spending time finding new interests in both real life and fandom life has been very useful. I hope you’ll feel better and better everyday too! :D

do you know which movie the first gif in the last gif set you reblogged is from? the one with Rupert laying in bed smoking? :)

All the gifs in that gifset are from the same movie, “Lullabi for Pi”.

Everyone in my household thinks Quinn is alive, now I'm starting to think he is as well and I think I'm going to believe that because I love these characters and I'll take the bad writing any day if it means Quinn will come back. He's my favorite character I can't live without him. I'm on the Quinn is alive train until someone shows me his death certificate.

Hey, go ahead, power for you, anon! Look, if you truly believe it, then hold on to your hope, and maybe you’ll be rewarded. That’d be awesome.

I think every opinion is totally valid until we get a definitive answer.

He’s my favorite character too, and I love him very very much. What I believe doesn’t change that.

How I deal with Q’s loss? I convinced myself s4 was series final. s5 never happened. Maybe Q came back from Syria and QC are together or maybe he died in Syria – but like soldier, in blaze of glory. In both scenario Carrie loved Quinn. Sure, maybe I’m in denial but it’s the only way for me to hate writers, HL and Carrie a little less. It helps somehow. Oh, but TBH I hate them all and still angry and devastated...

If it works for you, to take the s4 finale as the series finale is a nice strategy, anon. Just erase every memory of season 5 from your mind. Ignore everything that happened after 4x12, including PaleyFest 2015 and forward, and bask in the beauty of that episode, when we were left with no doubts about Carrie’s feelings for Quinn, and the chance was left open for Quinn to come back from Syria.

I don't know which stage of grief is this, maybe denial, maybe acceptance, but I'm feeling weirdly happy that Rupes is free! Because I feel like he's so much more artistic and free spirited and open minded than the whole show (tbh I'm beginning to think Gansa and the writers are a little too sure of themselves but that's another topic). I hope he writes more, smiles more and isn't type-casted to another assassin role again. And Carrie can have as many boyfriends as she wishes! FreeRupes2016!

“I hope he smiles more” lol. Same, anon, same. It’s actually so refreshing to see interviews of Rupert and see the face that plays Quinn looking healthy, happy and smiling.

Ok, I have to admit that I wouldn’t mind at all to see Rupert in more badass action roles. I just don’t want to have to see him for a long time in a role burdened by misery and endless suffering, because of the flashbacks that would bring.
