WWDITS writers, please, I am on my hands and knees BEGGING YOU to take cues from OFMD in actually having the fortitude to follow through on plot points and actions from previous seasons and episodes. Emotionally repressed characters can in fact communicate about past events to a degree that is satisfying to the audience, continues story threads left hanging, and also manages to stay in character and make sense for the narrative. Traumatic events can in fact continue to affect characters for more than the duration of a single episode. Actions can have real, lasting consequences.

Shocking, I know, but. It's possible. It can be done.

IT'S NOT DIFFICULT AND CAN STILL FIT INTO A SERIES FOCUSED ON COMEDY. EVEN, DARE I SAY, HORROR SHENANIGAN-BASED COMEDY.

WITH JUST A BIT OF DEDICATION AND EFFORT, YOU TOO CAN CRAFT A SUCCINCT STORYLINE THAT WRAPS ITSELF UP IN MORE THAN JUST A THROWAWAY SENTENCE THAT'S NEVER MENTIONED AGAIN. YOU CAN WRITE CHOICES AND ACTIONS FOR CHARACTERS THAT MAKE SENSE.

I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT.

IT'S. NOT. HARD.

#i'm just still SO bitter about the fallout from s3 being almost entirely skipped over #among other things #unfortunately i think i'm gonna have to live with the fact that i'll die mad about it #and with s5's questionable choices we are on VERY VERY thin ice now and i do not like it #it's sad but at this point the storylines and scenes people create in fics have become more captivating and intriguing than the actual show #which on the one hand is great bc i love reading fics but on the other hand... :/ :/ :/#ofmd #our flag means death #wwdits #what we do in the shadows #nandermo #wwdits critical #my posts
