Do me a favour and reblog this with a show you like that was cancelled after only one season. I don't mean shows that were always meant to be miniseries or shows that work perfectly well as a standalone story, or shows that might still get renewed. I mean shows that are and will forever remain unfinished. The more obscure the better.

I just realized that many many people have jobs

Rb with your job, wtf do you people do while offline???

[flavored-soda]

i’m gonna get personal which is not something i normally do in online spaces so forgive me for my emotions.

one thing i’ve noticed about this fandom is shit like this is a common reoccurrence. i’ve been good about avoiding it for the most part for my own sanity. but at some point, some of y’all need some actual perspective.

so hi, i’m flavoredsoda, you can call me flavored. my sister was a firemedic for my entire life and retired recently. (different moms and large age gap between us).

i’ve been the kid that my sister has to watch last minute while she’s on shift. every single person in this stupid little weewoo show i can relate to someone i know and have met from my sister’s station in real life.

i’ve watched my sister lose her brothers and sisters. i’ve seen her get injured on the job. i’ve seen nearly deck a dude on her team because they made a nasty ass comment about her and her family.

you can grieve your characters. you can feel all your emotions and be hurt and feel betrayed by the writing of a show. but at the end of the day, it’s a show. you can go back and see bobby nash over and over again and not have to watch the episode with his death. peter krause is still alive and well and you can keep up with his projects on socials.

but to bring up the very real loss and grief that real people experience to prove your point about making a character gay is a step too far. please go touch grass. reconnect with nature. throw your phone in the ocean. anything to make yourself realize this is fucking show not real life.

people like this are the reason this account as been dead for fucking months at a time. that i don’t want to write or engage with this fucking fandom.

sincerely,

someone who’s actually witnessed the shit you’re little statistics are talking about. fuck you.

So now we have buddies disrespecting the deaths and using the lives of deceased firefighters whom lost their lives in the line of duty and somehow making it about gay Eddie shout-out to those calling this out in the QT but way to many liked this tweet and some agreed in the QT and despite Peter saying in an interview that he wanted Bobby’s death to be a tribute in memory and honor of other firefighters who passed away in the line of duty. Like these folks are harassing Tim because of Peter saying he didn't want leave yet at the same time disrespecting what Peter wanted this episode and his character death to be about like

This is so fucking disgusting and disrespectful.

I can't even fucking fathom what made this person even THINK this was okay???

THIS IS NOT FUCKING OKAY! YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS A FUCKING LINE BETWEEN A FUCKING SHOW AND REAL PEOPLE.

I'm sure the loved ones of those <0.01% feel really good to be used as a statistic on the nazi bird site to prove a point that a fictional character SHOULD be gay.

Here's a statistic... I'm 100% certain that you're a miserable fucking person.

Sincerely, fuck you.

i’m rewatching supernatural again (because of course i am) and i’m on season 5. i noticed something in episode 11, “Sam, Interrupted.”

the wraith makes them start to lose their wits and when it really starts to settle in sam is the one to get violent and lash out. he starts punching the air, thinking the orderlies and the patients are calling him names, and when they try to restrain him he fights back.

and dean, the notoriously violent and scarier of the brothers, falls into crippling panic and anxiety. he forgets how to fight, freezes in fear, and lets himself get beat up and basically gives up. i mean sam is taking swings at the air and dean is literally watching the entire thing happen, mumbling in a chair, and rocking back and forth.

and of course, because it’s supernatural, this drastic change in personality is never talked about again. but yea.

i just think it’s interesting that the brother that uses violence (and alcohol but thats for another post) as a coping mechanism basically forgets all of that as soon as his anxieties and problems are heightened and turns into a ball of panic attacks and fear. and brother who makes a big speech at the end of the episode about the wraith being right and him being truly violent and angry, turns into exactly that.

anyways just another small thing that isn’t so small that the supernatural writers completely ignore after mentioning it and acting like the boys’ issues don’t exist. :D

I actually can’t believe Buck and Tommy broke up because they both wanted a future together.

[flavored-soda]

i have so many thoughts on the recent episode, but y’all ain’t ready for those yet.

however,

i will still be writing bucktommy fics and buddietommy fics

[flavored-soda]

anyways, siri play “a little less sixteen candles a little more touch me” by fall out boy

i love that the birthday scene wasn't eddie + bucktommy like it was when buck was with taylor. the scene was eddie and his two friends, because he invited both of them. it wasn't eddie invited buck and buck invited tommy.

even if bucktommy never happened, buck and tommy would still be eddie's friends, and he would have invited both of them because their friendship is not connected to the bucktommy relationship.

[flavored-soda]

i just want to say i love tommy kinard

i love him with buck and i love him as friends with eddie but also i just. love him. independently of those relationships. i love what he represents. someone who grew up with a shitty dad who then went on to be in a dadt era military and then had to work under fucking gerrard. someone who saw chim and hen defying that leadership and saw that he could also be a better person. who tried to be a better person and by the time he left the 118 for the 217 in bobby begins again, had really mended those fences and become friends with people who he helped hold back at his lowest moments because he didn't know how to NOT just follow rank and follow orders. someone who got to a new firehouse and jumped off the lessons he learned at the 118 and continued to grow and became a better person, embraced his homosexuality and lives life free and out and now has met buck and is continuing to relax (and i think that showed in 8x01, there was something about the presentation and the way he was dressed and made up that felt softer, younger even, than he seemed in season 7) and who clearly seems to be a place buck can currently land because he's done so much work on himself that he isn't guarded and stiff and hard anymore. idk i just love a character who hasn't always been *good* and may not be good every day but is actively working and trying to be good and doesn't spend all of his time thinking about the past but does acknowledge that this isn't always who he's been - and i feel like he does. his conversation with buck about gerrard last season definitely felt like him saying he wasn't good under gerrard, gerrard actively made him worse, was a regressive human being, and that he wishes he'd had more time under bobby. but you know what he got what he needed from bobby and now he's here.

idk i love tommy kinard. sassy, gorgeous, goofy, dorky, flirty, hot pilot tommy kinard and all the jagged pieces and mistakes it took to get him here.

it's odd to me how little some people seem to grasp christopher's anger. and maybe i guess it's because at fourteen i was in a similar situation. i mean, not the seeing a doppelganger of a dead parent similar but. traumatised, extremely angry and living with my grandparents for a time because i could not stand to be around my mother, who was a GOOD mother, but was dealing with her own shit too. and in retrospect, i regret how cruel i was to her because she tried so, so hard, and she loved me so, so much. i just couldn't see it. because, again. i was fourteen and extremely angry and very traumatised. and that sort of anger at that age can stick, it can take a long time to work through, especially when there's nowhere else (or no one else) to direct the blame towards for how you're feeling. like, it's not wildly inappropriate that chris would still be angry three months later, that he's still holding onto it with both hands. he's hurting in a number of ways and he's punishing the only person he can for it. what is wildly inappropriate is how the diaz parents have reacted to it in a way that fosters more anger rather than encourages reconciliation. it's not christopher's anger that's the problem, it's the fact that they're stoking the fire by allowing it to fester. like, it would be one thing if they were giving him a safe space to work through his anger, which is what my grandparents did for me. but that's not what they're doing at all. there is a fine line between validating someone's feelings and actively encouraging self-destructive behaviour, and the latter is what they're doing. because it serves them. like, the worst part about this is they claim they're doing this for christopher. but they so are so clearly doing it for them. if they were doing it for christopher, they would be creating an environment that allowed him that space but also worked towards repairing his relationship with his dad, who he loves and needs, and towards getting him home. but they're not doing that. they're not just harming eddie in doing this, they're harming christopher. in such a fucking big way. it's unforgivable actually.
