Done even with my bad english

Marshmallows, this is our chance to speak out and communicate properly and vehemently our thoughts and feelings regarding both season 4 and the would-be season 5. Let's make our voices be heard.

Spread the word! #burntmarshmallows

READ EVERY WORD!  THIS IS EPIC!

[moramisf1]

This is why i always like B99. Normal couple with developing. No breakups every season. Only going better

Happy couples don’t ruin TV shows. Writers who have no idea how to write for happy couples do.

HAPPY COUPLES DON’T RUIN TV SHOWS. WRITERS WHO HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO WRITE FOR HAPPY COUPLES DO.

VMHQ STATEMENT RE: REVIVAL

Marshmallows,

Individually, most of the librarians have been rooting for Veronica Mars since the Pilot first aired in 2004. Collectively, we formed the fan group, Veronica Mars Headquarters, in order to continue promoting our beloved show by having rewatches, creating contests and giveaways, organizing fanfic challenges - anything we could think of to support the fandom and help it grow.

Needless to say, we were very excited when we heard the news of a revival, and we are sure you can imagine how we now feel in the aftermath. After months of being sold one type of product in the marketing– an empowering story for women, a strong female grappling with the direction she wants to go in life, the importance of mental health, and the exploration of a committed hard-won relationship–we were given something entirely different. 

This bait-and-switch has left many feeling betrayed. 

All of the things we admired and loved about the character of Veronica Mars were gone. Instead of a heroine who survived trauma, while managing to be both strong and have a generous heart, the writers removed not only her marshmallow center, but fifteen years’ worth of character growth. 

Veronica’s problematic behavior toward Weevil would take too many paragraphs to describe. There was no loving concern for her father. While he was struggling with memory loss and fearing the worst, she just seemed ambivalent. Spending time with her best friend only bored her. (Wallace was her rock, now he seems like an annoyance because he had the audacity to form his own life. Based on her behavior now, would Wallace STILL feel it was worth getting taped to a flagpole?) She showed no genuine emotion toward any of the people she is supposed to love. 

They seemed to forget Veronica used to encourage Logan to seek professional help, and that she holds a psych degree from Stanford; they decided to instead have her ridicule Logan for working on his mental health and mockingly ask him if he was taking drugs. Yes, we know the way this is portrayed is supposed to show us Veronica’s position is wrong– but this is simply not the Veronica Mars we’ve known all these years. This is a character who resembles Veronica, but has very few of the qualities that made her so great.

We think the revival regresses Veronica’s character to this bitter shell of a person, in order to show us an abbreviated version of her journey to mental health? However, they negate the entire message in the last ten minutes of the revival. With that ending, they tell us, it doesn’t matter how she works to improve yourself, because people like Veronica (and Logan) don’t deserve a happy ending. Bottom line - why bother? It is nihilistic and, frankly, depressing. It is certainly NOT the story we need in our current social climate.

We do understand that sometimes the death of a major character is unavoidable on a television show– an actor wants to leave or the story dictates this decision. However, this usually happens during the original run, and when it’s done, the showrunners and writers try to handle the situation with care and regard for their fans. Unless the death was for shock value only, they at least allow space for the audience to grieve.

Veronica Mars is different. The death of Logan Echolls did not happen during the original run. This happened after fans spent seven years campaigning to have their canceled show resurrected. This happened after fans funded a movie through Kickstarter in order to get their closure. This happened after fans spent another five years championing the franchise so we could spend more time with our favorite fictional people. This happened in the last ten minutes without any preparation or warning. It was not part of the plot. It was not a hero’s death. Logan Echolls was fridged to re-traumatize our heroine. It was an ignominious end for a beloved character.

Our takeaway from the revival is that the showrunner and writers are not only saying trauma victims like Logan and Veronica do not deserve a happy ending. They are also telling us stories about women are only interesting if they are victims. They are saying women can’t have both challenging careers and partners who love them. We find these messages demoralizing and degrading - the complete antithesis of what we thought this show was about.

We’d like to encourage our followers to not buy into such damaging stereotypes. It is okay for you to feel sad and disappointed. We certainly do. 

We strongly disagree with the direction the Hulu revival took, and it’s hindered our desire to love and promote the product. While we debate our next steps, we have decided to put all our social media accounts on indefinite hiatus and will not be commenting or posting about Veronica Mars. 

However, one thing we’re clear on is, we want to support you–our wonderful, loyal fandom. To that end, we are keeping our Discord server open so people have a place to connect (https://discord.gg/mEZWSZZ). We’ve experienced an influx of people over the past two days all seeking an outlet to express their feelings, and we hope it is offering a small measure of comfort. We are also considering hosting another fanfic challenge specifically for season 4 fix-its, in order to help people process through writing and reading.

Please practice self-care. If you’re having trouble with your mental health, please think WWLD (what would Logan do) and do not be ashamed to seek help. Here’s a link of resources to help you get started: https://www.nami.org/Find-Support/NAMI-HelpLine/Top-HelpLine-Resources

We love you, marshmallows, and we will keep you posted as plans coalesce. In the meantime, please know we appreciate all of you; thank you for all the fun and laughter over the past fifteen years.

Love,

The VMHQ Librarians

Why Veronica Mars Won’t Have a Season 5

My introduction to Veronica Mars came in the midst of my father’s death. I watched episodes in hospital waiting rooms before it happened, and holed up in my room afterwards. I found a lot of comfort in the strength that the characters provided. The scene of Logan at his mother’s funeral - maniac and trying to find the humor in it - is exactly what I felt at my father’s. I, like Logan, made jokes and tried shrugging it off. I was certain that this was some sort of cosmic joke, and I was on the receiving end. Veronica’s personality shaped most of who I was in high school - my dad passed away two weeks before I started. Her snark, intelligence, and resilience inspired me so much then. I found a wonderful community with fans of the show, and to this day as a semi-adult I love and adore so many people I met through the show.

When the movie was announced, I was ecstatic. I remember rushing to a bathroom stall at my high school so I could eloquently keyboard-smash about it with my friends, donating to the Kickstarter, wearing my t-shirt, going to the theater with my friend to watch it and livestreaming it the night of its release with my online friends. In a sea of horrible feelings and helplessness, Veronica Mars helped me feel empowered and supported.

That’s partly why all of this stings so badly and feels so much like a betrayal.

Oh And question where is that little expensive  blue BMW 6 Cabrio ? (I like cars too much)  Changing for bycicle and that Logan didnt have enough money ? Did I miss something ?

My Letter of Resignation for All Future Rob Thomas Creative Endeavors

Dear Rob Thomas,

Keep reading

[moramisf1]

Thanks for write this down. Thank you

In The Wreckage

Eight days. It’s been eight days since the horror of Season 4 dropped on us unexpectedly, messing up all of our plans to watch together, with personalized marshmallows (thanks, @jjmazzy) and Veronica-themed food. And while we all knew that we were going to lose someone, I don’t think anyone was ready for what we got, or how poorly it would be done. 

What I also never expected was a season that made me:

1. Wish that we’d never clamored for more Veronica Mars after MKAT;

2. Wonder if I could actually still enjoy old VM canon, since what S4 did to Veronica and her story was so awful.

I came across a Hulu forum (again, thanks, @jjmazzy ) and wrote more than I’ve been able to write in the last 8 days, explaining my unhappiness and my hope that Rob Thomas is not allowed to bring any more Veronica Mars canon to life, but it may have been too long and the damn thing won’t post. So, I’m sharing here, under the cut, to at least get this off my chest.

Why...

Today I finally watched S4 of Veronica Mars. One think i want to say or write is, that i didnt want any S4, any contunuing and now i knew why.  I almost hate that they want to continue.

So why i watch it ?

I spent a few days waiting and thinking. I wanted to skip this, but it really wasnt possible. I cant visit tumblr, i cant open my browser because of articles, i unfollow all realated stuff on twitter. But one think that broke me... i wanted read new fanfiction, because i love them. For last three years (since i found about VM) I read i thing all LoVe fanfiction and repeatly. My favourite I read maybe 3 or 4 times maybe more and i want to thank all that amazing authors, who write them. First you make my english better (but still bad in writting) and second make my spare time good.

S4 was akward. All thinks was about mistery and that was akward too. Story around characters was cheap or not there. I thing that lot of them could be better if there wasn there at all. That cartel part was not necessary. All was flat so Rob Thomas & Kristen Bell no thank you (Funny think i dont like kristen bell like actress) For Veronica there wasn anything that really make me fell there was 5 years between. Like its  right by movie and books.

So please can anybody erase all i watch last few days ? And extra last episode. Murdering Logan was ... a dont have words for that

I never wanted new VM. I was happy with ending od S3 or end of movie and books and mostly fanfictions, so i hope there will be some great fix-it for LoVe or for complete S4.

So this my calm down writing (still have almost complete season izombie to watch, that i dont know i want watch)

I never post my car drawing there on Tumblr, but this crazy Hyundai is from Ant-Man and the Wasp so why not. If you want see my another Car Art. Instagram: @moramis_car_art

[moramisf1]

Please don't mark fanfic complete if it isn't. I read some great and with last chapter only oh ok no ending. Rather write something like hiatus or i don't know.

[moramisf1]

Finally saw iZombie 04x12 And I have some idea for whats happen in finale, so lets wait for it.

(And sorry for my english, still learning)

[moramisf1]

OK, so today I found out that I never post on Tumblr this iZombie digiart. I made this maybe year ago when i found this show. 

[moramisf1]

Ok, I'm little behind in iZombie. Today I see 04x05. And Chase Graves is too much good guy for this post. Next 04x06. ;)

[moramisf1]

Today, I found awesome fanfic by @elliebear75

Can’t wait for more. 

[moramisf1]

Hi Marshmallows,

I made illustration for one of my favorite fanfic “Phenomenal Pixie, #1″ (AO3, by ThaLastGoodGoldfish). Illustration is based on one of photo from Season 1, but I change almost everything. I hope you will like it.
