I’ve watched a few videos from the con, and I absolutely love Ronen’s answers! they’re so thoughtful and heartfelt. You can tell he’s really going through this journey with us and feels everything just as deeply. He’s knows how to articulate what he wants to say very well, even when he’s emotional. His honesty and confidence seem to put the whole cast at ease, especially Rafa, who tends to ramble quite a bit without much structure in his answers lol they are all sweet, miss them forever!

Favorite Fandom Memories ♥️

Thank you @lemonlyman-dotcom for the tag!

I know I'm super late to the party but I wanted to wait until after the finale to share my favorite memories and then I felt I needed to gather my thoughts first.

Lone Star was the first show I watched live in years. And it wasn't until after s3 when I became more active in the fandom. I was introduced to this show by my best friend who felt such a deep kinship with TK Strand and was so touched by the relationships on this show that he said he needed to share it with someone and knew I would feel the same way. He was right.

It's hard to point to single memories but the experience of simply watching a show live week by week has been such a rollercoaster. I can't deny that there have been ups and downs but I can honestly say that this is the best fandom I've ever been a part of (and lemme tell you, I've experienced some toxic AF fandoms). The best part of fandom for me has always been seeing the works created by others and I am in awe of how talented this fandom is and the love that goes into the fanfics, and art and so many other types of fan works.

The show itself has meant so much to me and saying goodbye is so hard but the words of Winnie the Pooh ring so true to me. I have indeed been lucky to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.

Never have I watched a show and fallen in love with every single character the way I did with Lone Star. I will never be able to pick between TK or Carlos because they are a package deal but I will say they both have a special place in my heart. I suppose the special spot I have for TK in particular is due to how alike he and my best friend who introduced me to this show are, I know he has found so much comfort and validation in TK. I want to give a special mention to Marjan Marwani. As a Muslim woman, seeing Marjan every week has been the most beautiful experience. To see a Muslim woman like her who is proud of her faith and has such a strong sense of identity is so incredibly meaningful. In a world that tells Muslim women that we don't belong anywhere, Marjan shows that she belongs anywhere she wants to. I am so glad we got to see her journey not only as a firefighter but also as a woman who fights against expectations and in the end gets to marry a man she loves and who loves her. I will never be over how breathtakingly beautiful she looked at her wedding. There is a moment in s4 where Marjan talks about the importance of her identity as Firefox and how she got stopped in the street by people thanking her for what she does. You can bet I would be one of those people. Sure, there are moments with Marjan I would have done differently as is true of the show itself but overall, I am so happy and grateful to see myself being represented in so many ways through her.

I know we all like to poke fun at our silly weewoo show and there certainly have been times where they've deserved it but I will be forever grateful for this show that gave us found family, healing from trauma, highlighting of mental health in a way that didn't feel forced and felt respectful and real, diverse, complex characters with their own stories and journeys, the most beautifully complex and loving father and son and of course, the couple of all time: our Tarlos. It still doesn't feel entirely real that we actually got a couple like Tarlos on our screens. No couple has ever had such a hold on me and they will always have a special spot in my heart. As much as I continue to cautiously hope for a spin-off or for the show to get picked up again, I am at peace with the ending that we have been given. No matter what, this show and all its characters will always be in my heart. And most of all, I hope that this fandom can continue to thrive even if it won't be quite the same. I hope that we can all continue to share our labours of love and our ideas and so much more with each other.

I will leave this an open tag for anyone who sees. I have loved seeing other people's favorite memories and I would love to keep seeing more ♥️
