i'm not trying to be mean at ALL i promise and i am as devastated as everyone is as well but i feel like people aren't actually coming to terms with the fact it's... over and a last minute pick up from another company is a very slim chance. and might be making themselves feel worse.
i've already seen people saying they're going to be even worse off if that's confirmed to not be happening once and for all, and as much as i admire everyone putting their all into this it's kind of making me more depressed 😭 it's absolutely okay to have hope and not want to give up and at least make enough noise that everyone knows you care/didn't want it to end but i also think looking into things that weren't there based on twitter likes and "codes" is what got some people into such deep disappointment in the first place. i know everyone likes to call it clowning but even then it's like... y'know...
we knew season 3 was only a "maybe" from the get go: a slashed budget, location change to manage costs, less characters on-screen, 8 episodes instead of 10 and a deliberately wrapped up finale in case this IS where it ends. to be honest i'm surprised so many people WERE so viscerally disappointed because i was not surprised in the slightest. i am incredibly sad but not surprised. basically i just feel like people are in their "denial" stage and if the time comes that we're told to stop it's not going to be pretty/people are going to get even more mad :( i'm not saying to crush hope bc it's not like series DON'T get picked up at all but maybe like... realistic hope?
Yeah, I get, it’s hard right how 💕
There’s no right or wrong way to deal with this, but I think we lose nothing by trying, right? We knew we were never guaranteed anything, and so did the writers which is why they were kind enough to write us a happy ending to s2.
But at least fighting for this will show the creators that we’re here! And I dunno, I think there’s always hope, and you shouldn’t stop feeling it just because it might not pay off - and the fight is what will get some people through this! But also, if you need to step away or try and come to terms with the end then you should absolutely do that ❤️ save your spoons if you need to! Block tags if you need to, that’s ok. Im trying to tag everything with #renewasacrew and #saveourflag but I do slip up sometimes, so you could block them if it’ll help you.
And y’know, if this the end then we have been SO LUCKY and we’ll still have what we’ve got! It’s ours forever.
But personally my hyperfixation has kicked in now and channeled all my energy towards doing everything I can (even though I really should take a break now because I’m gonna crash really soon! ) Even if it doesn’t work it’ll help me to know that I fought for it, y’know? I’ll be clowning til the end!
