CALAHAN STOP I CAN’T—

“Danielle was in my apartment and told me about a party she was planning where everyone in the cast has to dress up like someone else in the cast. Naturally, she gave me Amita and for the next few days I scrambled to find a way to make that work. A very serious conversation with Freddy comes to mind where he generously offered style advice and thanked God he had gotten Kit. A couple days later, I showed up to Danielle’s apartment only to realize everyone had actually dressed up as me. It was obviously surprising and ridiculous and hilarious, but also it came at a time where I desperately needed something like this. Danielle set up a whole party themed around me because she’s an angel, and all the cast was there and giving love. It’s difficult to put into words what that meant to me at the time, but it was everything.”

I’m tired of all these depressing ass gay culture posts. You know what? Loving yourself is gay culture now. Sorry homos, you have to start being nice to yourselves.

Incorrect Six of Crows

Wylan: Guys! Come quick! I’ve found something!

*turns around with a moth on his finger*

Wylan: Dryocampa Rubicunda, or the candied melon silk moth. A very rare specimen.

Wylan: See? We’re already finding stuff!

Kaz: *eyeroll* Great, you found a bug. Cheers.

Jesper: And who says treasure maps are worthless?

I've reblogged and shared a lot of other people's words about the cancellation, but I have yet to bring up my own.

I'm not usually a "light in the darkness" kind of person at first; the counterbalance is there for a reason, and if we're hurting then we're going to take our time about it, dammit. but the way this fandom has rallied has been amazing to be a part of.

we're trending on tumblr. we've got a petition with 10K signatures overnight. we've got people spamming every major streaming service and the netflix request form. we've got a donation pool going to rent a billboard in LA. we've got news outlets noticing our outrage. we've even got fans proposing that we do this ourselves.

and in the meantime, the creators are stepping up—we're making art, tiktoks, memes, fanfics, and edits to celebrate the grishaverse, to uplift the fandom and say that no one can take this from us.

if you can't beat the odds, change the game. our passion is beautiful. we never stop fighting.

Brb filling the Six-of-Crows-shaped void in my heart with rewatching new Percy Jackson trailer until I don't hurt any more because that brought me more joy in the past 24 hours than anything else has

Almost as if fictional worlds and characters are something that people are just as passionate about as any popular music artist or sports player

how to bug netflix 101

a few ideas/tips to put pressure on netflix to reconsider their decision, given the fact that a select few shows have had their fates reconsidered:

Keep Shadow and Bone & Six of Crows trending! Character names, 'No Mourners, No Funerals', Leigh Bardugo, and other key words might help too! And remember that the threshold to keep stuff trending gets higher the longer that words/phrases trend, meaning we have to keep it active!

Spam the Netflix title request form at https://help.netflix.com/en/titlerequest with Shadow and Bone, Six of Crows, etc. At the very least, it'll inconvenience them.

Sign the petition at https://www.change.org/p/save-shadow-and-bone-a3b37712-c648-4b87-9bfc-8b8cd685c623

Fill their social medias with calls to renew. Again, at the very least it'll be annoying/inconvenient, but at least our voices will be heard.

If you feel so motivated, you can submit anonymous tips to publications and ask them to pick up the story (though there is no guarantee this will work). IGN, the Hollywood Reporter, Variety, and Deadline all accept anonymous tips without having to register or provide personal information.

At the very least, Netflix has continually refused to listen to fans, even though we have shown that fandoms have the power to bring in lots of revenue; they seem to have forgotten who pays for their service and gives them the money they need to pay for the shows nobody has asked for.

Even worse, Netflix is holding the work of the writers hostage by owning the scripts yet refusing to produce them. Either Netflix needs to return the scripts to the writers, or they need to give the scripts to a platform who will actually use them and finish the story!

Industry-wide, there has been a repeated pattern of streaming platforms buying the right to a book or a series and then holding onto it without producing it or canceling it without finishing the story. This is similar to what 'patent trolls' do, filing for a patent without any real intent to use it. This is grossly unfair to the authors, not to mention the cast and crew whose livelihoods depend on a show surviving for longer than a season or two.

Leigh Bardugo deserves better. The crew deserves better. The cast deserves better. We the fans deserve better.

No mourners.

I WILL RIOT

the streets are saying SAB got cancelled because eric (showrunner / head writer) was one of the spokesman of WAG and netflix got pissed with him and did not want to pay the usual payroll increase that most shows have in the third season... i swear, if this is true i will be on national news.
