I gotta say, like. I haven't seen the ep 9 and 10 leaks, nor do I want to (I watched pine barrens early and I wish I hadn't) but I swear, at this point I'm convinced everyone's overreacting for no reason; like there is NOTHING that the show could possibly do that would disappoint me on such a level that ppl are saying they don't want to continue watching the show. Unless they kill off the entire cast, pull an X-files and replace everyone, I just can't see it being as dire as people are making it out to be. Like... let's all calm down. You're getting (at best) a choppy machine translation, and at worst what is essentially a silent episode with 0 actual context for what you're seeing. From my experience watching pine barrens in Russian, I can tell y'all that things were interpreted incorrectly (both in summaries AND by me while I was watching) and watching the actual english episode was an entirely different experience.
Maybe it's just because I haven't gotten my hopes up about nandermo getting together this season there have been PLENTY of clear signs that it's not happening but I legit can't even imagine a worst case scenario that could prevent me from enjoying the show at this point. It feels like so many fans have gotten swept up in fandom hype (which is totally fine and completely understandable, I'm not immune to this either) but it's almost like... there's a terrifyingly big divide between fanon and canon this season. It's just a silly dumb little show. If you wanted it to go one way and it didn't, bummer, I guess, but to write off an entire show because the conclusions you've drawn up with friends weren't the way it panned out is so odd to me. It's understandable when theories like there being something in the walls that colin is trying to get to or whatever spread, but at the same time it could just be a running joke about him being a little shit of a kid. If this isn't addressed, I wouldn't be surprised. I don't think it's really ever been pushed like that, it's just that it gained traction in the fandom and a lot of fans started clinging to it (as well as some other common theories like it) but is it REALLY being teased? Or was it not meant to be anything more than a surface level joke.
I don't think it's right to be disappointed when stuff like this has been hyped up by the fandom rather than like... official marketing material or something, and I think that can be applied to every prediction that seemingly didn't come true.
I just see a lot of hostility and accusations thrown around, and some truly bizarre takes, and it's just... it's a show. it's a show, guys. it's just a show.

today i bought a new iphone so i could watch the wsl.
let me explain.
so we all know finding somewhere to watch women's soccer is an absolute palava. except it's actually not in australia, it's just on a service that costs $24 a month - optus sport. that is an outrageous amount of money to pay for a single use streaming service.
except if you're an optus customer, it's $6. i abandoned optus years ago, but me vs telstra has continued unabated ever since.
on friday when my pre-ordered iphone didn't show up, a thing i only purchased for fun but once committed had to have immediately as promised, i lost my shit, took myself to the nice local optus store this morning, and now i have a new iphone plan for $10 less than i was paying on telstra and access optus sport for only $6.
instead of paying $24, i'm $4 in front :)

I love dipping my toes back into comics, remembering all the C and D list characters I love and getting that sense of intrigue again, sliding into headcanon territory like "MAN if they just made a series about this they'd totally have me hooked again!". Then I continue reading about the state of current comics (i.e where those C and D list characters are rn and what the state of canon is) and think about the amount of complexity and set up you'd need to even get halfway close to the perfect vision in your head and how impenetrable current comics are so you wouldn't even know where to start with catching up...
And then I'm once again relieved that I'm not caught up with comics anymore and am simply backreading now irrelevant comics at a glacial pace

i do apologise for the tone of my last ask but there was a time you were warned politely by another anon about a user like roach-patrol you accidentally reblogged. but after you acknowledged it you reblogged them again literally the next day. so plz understand it starts to look like you just don’t care that much even when alerted nicely
Anon, that was the first time that I was ever told about that person, (the first time that anyone had even warned me about a terf that I reblogged from actually) I don’t keep up with these people, I’m sorry but I really don’t. I block and move on. I don’t keep up with the urls of terfs/ radfems after I block them. If I do remember their urls, I just reblog the post of interest to me from another source and not them (tumblr should really make it so that after you block someone, you can’t see their post’s at all anymore, including whatever they add onto other user’s posts so that you don’t end up sharing anything from them period.) If I reblog from a terf or whoever, just send a heads up because mistakes do happen, right? And I’ll delete it and that’s be all. I usually do try to check if a source looks suspect but yeah.
