Do you know if komrukru is okay? They haven't posted anything in 11 months

Yes! I see her around instagram regularly, and as far as I know she’s fine. Probably she just got busy, or is taking an extended break from fandom. I’ll send her a note that someone on tumblr was asking for her!

#internet friends ftw #komrukru #I don't feel comfortable giving out her instagram handle without her permission #but if you want to come off anon I can ask her if she minds you knowing it :)#Anonymous

the mess is getting more real every freaking day, we just have to watch it unfold

Can we just dissolve countries and put bigots in one half, progressive people in the other? Nationalism is stupid and breeds only evil anyway.

Well i'm sorry if my opinion somehow offended you. Wasn't my intent. But to clear up things: the show was initially abt Olivia Dunham who had barely any lines in s5. Main focus shifted to Bishops. Blair Brown mentioned it too btw.

Season 5 was something I fought over with people in the tags that year & the year after. Looking back, YES I am miffed that Olivia wasn’t given more speaking lines [I was also miffed that one of the main conversations she has involves a magical n*gro trope, which also at the time… was BARELY addressed by the very white fandom, but I’ve ranted on that on other posts] … but the main struggles in the tags were “Olivia is acting OOC / too weak.” & I just wasn’t having it. & I’m still… not exactly having it.

For me, what happened in the short span of Season 5 was incredibly in character for Olivia: in the face of immense grief & pain, she turns inward; she shuts down; she loses confidence in herself & in the relationships that still exist around her; she speaks less & cries more. I thought it was incredibly powerful to HAVE Olivia grieve the majority of the season, just as Peter was grieving & driven to Extremes to right a wrong as well. In a tag that cried out for We Want Strong, Emotional Women… suddenly when the main character Is actually experiencing emotions, IS actually battling with herself & her worth, ISN’T being the outspoken firery heroine we know her to be… they acted that this was Bad Writing & Horrendously Out of Character. When it absolutely wasn’t.

But could Olivia have deserved more lines? Absolutely! & Astrid? Absolutely! & Nina? Absolutely! In my fantasy world, season 4 is cut into 2 seasons - with the first half of rushed season 4 diving into what makes amber!Olivia different - & what makes amber!red!Altlivia also different. We get more of the Astrids besides Making Angels. We get more of Alt!Nina… scheming her ass off [ick.] Then with the second season 4, now 5, we properly develop DRJ & Belly - as opposed to rushing thru. & lastly, in my dream world, Season 5 is its proper full length & we’re able to more properly dive into Walter’s Plan & Olivia’s Grief overtly.

But I’m also miffed with Blair’s writing off of the entire series. Of course that isn’t to say that she doesn’t have a point about Hollywood defaulting to male development as opposed to female. It happens. Of course. It’s a trend that’s unfortunately normalized.

… But at the same time, the story was always going to “shift” to the Bishops; it was always there - it’s a part of why I was Drawn to the story in the first place. & while Fringe definitely isn’t perfect with writing female roles [Olivia, the obvious lead, is white & gets development… but what about Astrid? Other WOC? /crickets] … I didn’t see that focusing on a male dynamic was taking time away from Olivia’s development - which also had plenty of episodes devoted to it??? & even the entire backdrop of Season 5, if you dive deep enough - & I’ll just link you bc I can’t dare to summarize any of this content: 1 & 2.

With those 2 links… I oftentimes forget that new people to the fandom, esp those that marathon, Haven’t seen the meta we made on the finale Actual Years Ago. & when THEY don’t see what WE saw, & having seen the show progress thru Actual Years, & not just on Netflix thru 3 weeks… I get miffed. Because those 2 links are now forever a part of how I view the show looking back & looking forward. The analysis that @measurementoftheobserver had was incredible. & while yes, Olivia deserved more dialogue, it’s not like the the writers COMPLETELY wrote her off during Season 5. In fact, the entire backdrop of the season IS about her… altho subtlety. & while 1 solution is making what the meta talks about more “overt” … having these aspects be more subtle, & not as spoonfed to the audience… is also rewarding. So as a result… I get defensive & jumpy when anyone claims that Olivia was fucked over by Season 4 / 5 / any season. There’s stuff in there!!! A lot of stuff in there!!! Everything links back to something else!!!! The lore is there!!! Olivia is incredibly important besides just being a “love interest!!!!” I get pissed off!!!!

But back to Blair, the story was always formulated as a 3 - how Peter interacts with Walter, yet also Olivia interacting with Walter, & Peter interacting with Olivia. The focus stayed the “same” for me bc I always conceptualized this multi-faceted triangle, which strained & healed over 5 seasons - so for me Season 5, the finale, & any rewatches now don’t feel like “cop outs” to me. They don’t. Fringe doesn’t feel like some dismissive “boy show” that traps Olivia out.

Nina being cut out, for me, feels more like Charlie & Astrid being cut out. There’s a lot more intersectional aspects at work. While I absolutely adore how Nina spat in almost every observer’s face… there really WASN’T a lot she was given in Season 5. & because of how RUSHED Season 4 was, we weren’t given the proper time to appreciate amber!Nina now as Olive’s adoptive mother - which is an incredible foil to… the incredibly untrustworthy CEO of Seasons 1 & 2. Unfortunately it’s much easier to write content for a younger woman than an older woman - & unfortunately an older man than an older woman. & unfortunately developing white roles over Charlie & Astrid [which the network actually had to choose 1 over the other!!!!!!!!!!!!] The tag is full of us Charlie lovers lamenting over the fact that Charlie didn’t exist in Season 3 / Season 4 / Season 5. We project how he would have fit into those seasons ALL THE TIME… & honestly we shouldn’t have to??? Why couldn’t they have just made it happen???? So many of us absolutely ADORED Charlie???? Having another well-developed MOC around makes Broyles less of a token - which he sort of becomes in later seasons…… & ALSO barely gets any screentime in Season 5, apart from like… a hug & a torture scene. & Astrid, the actual Junior Agent, gets relegated to Mammy Babysitter duty most of the Entire Show. She’s not properly appreciated until Something Bad Happens to her, usually. & while it’s amazing to have Canonic Autistic characters… alt!Astrid gets even LESS time than Astrid!!! & most of the time she’s Being a Computer, coldly spewing out facts… lowkey just being used by her team. Just how Astrid is lowkey used by her team. All the time. & taken for granted. All the time. Even by the fanbase. Honestly, those issues are MORE important to me than a beautifully written father/son dynamic. Sorry not sorry Blair.

Of course Blair has every right to be outraged, as an actress in Hollywood who’s tired of seeing the same tropes over & over again. But I thought it was unfair to write Fringe off completely & look back at it with bitterness. But mostly, look back at her time from just one aspect, & not echoing some of Jasika’s thoughts as Another Character who was pushed to the fringe of Fringe… but for entirely different reasons. … idk I just… eh Blair.

I still dont understand how Sam was okay with his stalking behaviour. Why was he not arrested for trying to find classified info? I mean the writers really made Sam’s character so strange. The real Sam would have not excused his creepiness!!

I KNOW RIGHT!!!! How is she not livid that he followed her to what was very obviously a stakeout and then proceeded to possibly jeopardize the whole thing by strolling in like “hey Sam, fancy meeting you here” when he knows that she’s involved in some serious business? And she specifically told him that she could get in trouble if she told him anything about what she does!! But the guy doesn’t care because how dare she keep things from him?

It makes no sense that Sam’s reaction would be “oh that’s great that you were stalking me, now I can tell you all about my secret job, yay~”

i read some OLD obscure forums so yeah there were people shipped them lol

Really?? I know I’m not supposed to judge other people’s ships, to each their own and all that, but I can’t help being a bit disappointed and slightly miffed
