I left the Johnlock fandom after S3 aired, the show ruined their relationship, the show runners making funs of the fans who propelled them to stardom in the first place didn’t help either. Today for some reason Tumblr showed your post on my for you page. Your blog reminds me of the good old time when I was able to consuming Johnlock contents made by fans with undiluted joys. In a sense, the show runners took that away from me, I essentially gave them the power to poison my joys from consuming fan created contents. I entered other fandoms and I’ve since grown to value fandom over source martial and the people who dictate canon. I just want to say that I admire you very much because you didn’t cave, you didn’t let them ruin your love for Johnlock and the joys that come with loving something. I think I will be able to enjoy Johnlock contents made by fans again after seeing your blog. Thank you.
Awww thank you so much☺️
And you are right makers did ruin a beautiful show. Fans were so invested here. It's one thing to not give them closure, understandable, but to mock them was a d*ck move. They conveniently forgot how they encashed on same johnlock/freebatch for years and when the show ended suddenly they became 'annoying' ugh. I hate when people forget where they came from and it's fans who made them relevant. No wonder they are begging the leads to come back for another season. Nothing worked for them afterwards and why would it? Fans clearly rejected them.
Whatever was going off screen ,I think Ben and Martin gave their best at all times. They outperformed the script. My heart goes to Martin, how difficult it would have been for him with both reel and real life getting mixed with his wife.
Funny thing is I always thought this 'shipping' thing fans do was really really silly, but I saw that angelo scene and I was like DAMN, I am going down with ship. I have never seen chemistry on screen and it frustrates me to no end that it was wasted. They just gave us a half hearted hug 😭😭😭😭, even with that Ben and Martin managed to make everyone's heart flutter(I love them so much). No one could have done it better than them.
Tumblr is like a happy place to me. And I can't thank everyone enough who take time to write fanfictions and fanarts , even those who have left fandom or phased out for some reason. Old blogs have such good content. So don't let makers or even actors ruin something that makes you happy☺️. I hope you revisit often from now on
