i'm just thinking about how we've spent all this time in anticipation of the new series, the speculation, the anxiety, the excitement, the foreboding--and then one day that will be gone, our lives will be ruined, we will never be the same, we will divide our lives between before we watched the new series and after we finished the new series and oh god where do go from here, HOW DO WE LIVE AFTER THIS?!
As much as I’m losing my goddamned mind from the total lack of ANY promos or trailers…these are like. Our last days before everything changes.
Well things have already changed. Like…new fans already don’t have to live with that heavy weight of finishing the season 2 finale and believing that its All Over. That there would NEVER BE a third season and this was it. That’s so weird to me. I used to consider that Crushing Despair all part of the Twin Peaks fan experience. Garmonbozia, baby.
Like uhh before I made this nice little corner of tumblr a known Peaks fan place, there really weren’t many Peaks peeps on tumblr it was a very small fandom. So I’d track the tag and when there were posts like OH GOD I JUST WATCHED THE FINALE WTF I’d be like HEY LETS BE FRIENDS HERE HAVE SOME FIC RECS
Hannah and I used to just, imagine what it would be like if season 3 happened and we would always preface with stuff like ‘I know it will never happen BUT WHAT IF’ because while there were always optimists hoping for a 25 years later deal I couldn’t deal with getting my hopes up.
Can you imagine Life After Season 3.
By this time next year, we will have seen season 3. Can you believe that? By this time next year we will have (some) answers. We will have a bigger, more active fandom and Everything Will Change.
I can’t imagine how we’ll begin to cope with it because I have no idea what season 3 could possibly entail. I have like tiny itty bitty details and I’m 100% certain that there’s no way to possibly come close to predicting what will happen.
