#that alone. we're okay with that

what i truly can't understand is why daniel's team feel the need to deny all these rumours. that piece in speedcafe is just denial after denial after denial. those rumours are not damaging or disparaging to daniel at all. they're positive. they're complimentary. they show that he, daniel ricciardo the racer, is still in demand and wanted by others. just let them sit there. just let people believe that companies of big power, toyota, cadillac, supercars, whoever else, want him. there's nothing wrong with that. if there's no truth to them, what does it matter. if there is truth to them, what does it matter. why are they trying to pull his name from everything.

i know tim said we're not getting a cliffhanger but man. how good would it be if we got buck nde while eddie was leaving LA to go get chris back and had no way of knowing. like maybe its the a shift's day off and eddie decides on a whim that actually, he wants his kid back mom, and he buys a last minute plane ticket. and buck gets into a car accident or his loft burns down or whatever. and everyone's in the hospital waiting room getting frustrated at eddie's number going straight to voicemail and wondering just where the fuck eddie is. meanwhile eddie's on the plane sitting and thinking like Hmmm i wonder if chris will come more willingly if i mention buck's name... :)

i stand by that a better, more sensible, and more intriguing plot for TSATS would have been, instead of retconning literally everything:

Bob is dead (because he was very explicitly absorbed/killed by Tartarus Himself in House of Hades, alongside Damasen), and nobody is going into Tartarus to save him. He made his sacrifice and is gone. However. Remember how the Titans, including Bob, were just kind of kicking around for several years? Particularly. On a cruise ship full of mortals. And Bob happened to be kicking around in general for an extra year versus all the other Titans. And he mythologically sometimes has a mortal demigod son who partook in the Calydonian Boar Hunt (Dryas of Calydon). Yeah.

So turns out, Bob/Iapetus leaves behind a demigod (demititan?) child. And because Nico was pretty much his only friend, he named Nico his child's godfather. And while he's not being left in charge of the child, as a son of Hades and godfather to this kid, Nico is duty-bound to fulfill Bob's last will and go find this like 2 year old to make sure they're safe. So Nico has to undertake this very unusual quest (that raises many questions, such as "demititans are a thing?" and "DOES THIS MEAN THERE'S POTENTIALLY MORE-?!" and "SHOULD WE BE CONCERNED ABOUT THIS?") and is kind of freaking out because. He's the son of Hades! He's notoriously bad with living things, and animals, and definitely small children! Even if he does find this kid and assure they're safe, he is the last person who should be undergoing any kind of quest involving even potentially having to babysit. Fortunately, his boyfriend is the human embodiment of sunshine and calmness and good vibes, and also once helped a nymph give birth, so he feels Marginally More Confident in theoretical demititan babysitting and offers to come along on this Epic Journey of Figuring Out What In Hades' Name Is Up With This Demititan Baby Business.

Proceed with wholesome epic shenanigans quest of Nico and Will scurrying around trying to locate this random OP baby while Nico has an existential crisis about the nature of his powers because he doesn't want to let Bob down! Both for Hades Kid Honor Reasons and because Bob was his friend! But what if he's destined to fail this quest just because of who he is? Because he's simply not built for hanging out with the living/mortals? And Will reassuring him that He Will Probably Not Traumatize The Weird OP Titan Baby And It'll Be Fine, and simultaneously getting a peek into the weird other life Nico leads hanging out with immortals much more than the average demigod, which Nico considers his norm. Bonus shenanigans of both of them getting caught off-guard and culture shocked from where each other's respective worlds (Nico's mostly-immortal versus Will's mostly-mortal) cross over and learning to navigate those for each other - Nico finally starting to make some mortal connections and get glimpses at modern mortal American life, and Will trying not to get his brain literally incinerated while Nico's happily casually catching up with some of his old friends who happen to be literal gods.

i swear to god i've seen an exactly equivalent number of posts recently with the premises "it's gross to talk so much about how you wanna fuck trans people, can't you be normal about people you don't wanna fuck" and "it's gross to act like trans people are unfuckable and that we're only attractive as a fetish, actually i'm a girl with a great dick and it's fine" & i'm like. rubs my eyes. maybe the truth is that human experience is varied and different people wish to be desired/perceived/discussed in different ways and what's validating to one person feels yucky to another. maybe if someone's form of validation isn't for you then you don't need to immediately assume the worst faith possible interpretation of their words. i mean this in the most constructive way possible bc i do this too and i frequently look back at assumptions i made and realize i'm insane. Just Because It Felt Bad To You Doesn't Mean It Feels Bad To Everyone.

DMing the cast about rpf is crazy. its basically telling someone you fantasize about them fucking a colleague. thats not a lot better than an unsolicited dick pick. of course they got blocked.

LITERALLY . Nobody wants to get told and teased about them wanting and fucking someone they're FRIENDS and WORK with . It quite literally should be common sense but I guess whoever dmed Oliver clearly had ZERO of it . We can speculate and joke and talk about rpf but it STAYS in rpf spaces , it shouldn't ever get out of the cast , especially TO the people we are rpf shipping because it can make them SUPER uncomfortable and it just doesn't do anyone any good . Ruining it for absolutely everyone . Oliver should block more people who do this because fucking come on guys .

...guys, do you know what an art style is???? cuz', this seems pointed. I see what you mean. I completely agree.

But hear me out. Along with these posts, could we consider? Maybe? Some constructive criticism? People should draw them more accurate.

They SHOULD.

But how should they do it? Realism art? It's a foreign concept to me. I try and it absolutely fucking sucks and i'd love to be a part of this fandom showing that the characters are real people but

It's kind of

Just

Very "do this. No other explanation. Change it."

Look, I really want to. And I am trying. But could we like, make a space for teaching people? Cuz I am stumped dude like fr. Need some guidance.

Yeah, I'm not "taking this well" anymore, to reference one of my replies from yesterday. Sherri Davis crossed several lines for me yesterday, and late enough in my part of the world for me to do anything about it, but today's a new day.

Dear Sherri Davis, I have verified each and every source myself when it comes to whatever part, however small, I've come to play in all this about organizing the fandom. Most of them come from the Hudson and Rex production, no less, clearly visible to all (and sourced). Everything we've given people on social media as evidence has been the absolute truth, and conjecture has been labeled as such to avoid confusion and avoid giving the wrong impression to people. The only source I could not verify was the one from the deleted Reddit post, filled with gaslighting, weaponization of grief, half-truths, and outright easily disprovable lies, which for a while now me and others have believed to be written by a close associate of yours. The only people that could have ever claimed that John Reardon didn't message you about Diesel's passing, because you yourself would have to tell them, are those close to you. Let's cut the crap.

To fellow fans: I admit I did not write about this part in my big-ass post where I dismantled the now infamous redditor's post. Instead, I kept it. Idiotically, perhaps. Not wanting to believe she was directly involved in this despite everything pointing to it? Maybe. Holding it to add it as the last piece of evidence in an ever growing list? You can call it whatever you want. I'm a complicated person, I'm not always right, and I do think parts emotionally and calculated at all times. I was raised by lawyers and sometimes it really feels like I'm in court (not on trial, I don't feel persecuted, I'm talking about the burden of proof which really should not have fallen on any of us).

The thing is that the more of her I read now, the more I realize that this woman never cared about the show as it was. She wanted more. More for her dogs, more for her company, and yeah, sure, more for the people working for her (I get their loyalty, she does seem to be loyal to her inner circle). Was that influenced by Diesel's death? I can't know but I'm personally going to stop using that as an excuse for her behavior. She's a grown woman and I highly doubt this is the first time she's had to grieve one of her dogs or family for that matter. We all have our crosses to bear. That doesn't mean we get to be assholes.

Anyway, back to the point. I think (read: my opinion) that Sherri Davis had been looking for an excuse to take over more of the show, and having human characters getting their own storylines, especially Charlie, and having them get storylines that were not in any way related to Rex as that redditor very crudely and in their own manipulative and twisted way claimed to make John Reardon look bad, was getting in the way of that, was stealing the limelight away from Rex. Now she's got an actor who just came to the show and has no pull whatsoever, he won't be an executive producer and even if he was she'd outrank him, leaving her to be the highest ranking executive producer who is not from any of the productions (John Reardon was that executive producer before her. At this point I need to remind that any executive producer FROM the productions outranks any that are actors and crew, hence the ass-kissing you see on social media). I bet she loves it. And I bet she knows that they can't do the show without her too.

I tried to find excuses for her, it's true. I'd talk with friends and they'd tell me that someone should mention this, that it's important. We fought over this (I'm sorry). Why protect a woman you don't know when you can see where this is going, right? Yeah, I don't know. Maybe because despite everything I could tell she was in pain. Maybe because I'm an idiot and I could only see the pain and not the calculation behind the whole thing.

Either way, and to stop being a dramatic bitch, here it is, laid out. I believe that she wouldn't fight for John Reardon at all, and in the worst case she may have had a hand in the production not getting him back if she could offer an opinion, as she realized how no one in that set had any power other than her when Luke Roberts was there instead of John Reardon (the executive producers from the productions are rarely on set and Newfoundland is far away from, well, anything). But make no mistake, Sherri Davis doesn't have as much power as she thinks she does, especially on a show with multiple productions. Clearly, Shaftesbury stood by her as I said before. It's very obvious from the way she now leaves sickeningly loving comments about their leadership. I don't think the other productions see it the same way but they surely know she's necessary so they let her get away with stuff (even more after Diesel's death). And she knows she's not going to find a better job, I mean how many shows have canine leads? So, she's latched onto that with everything she's got. And anyone who threatens its longevity (which at this point is us) is viewed as a direct threat to her.

Anyway, I don't know where that leaves us. If the productions where to fold and take John Reardon back, she'd have to oblige, of course. I don't believe she has a veto power at all and I don't think she'd have a fit and refuse to work with him, it's not like he did anything to her either way (and yeah, the fact that not even that post dared to insinuate anything about his behavior on set also says a lot, it's usually quite easy to insinuate that as "anonymous source").

I also believe that, no matter what the post says, at some point he must have reached out to her about Diesel but the thing is, as I can personally attest, that people often put illogical timeframes on reaching out about such matters. And we all know that at the time of Diesel's passing, John Reardon was giving his own battle with cancer and yeah, I'd prioritize that myself over reaching out to anyone, selfish as it may sound to some. Anyway, these are things that can be solved by talking, although it's rare that people actually sit down to talk about them to solve their differences. I've got people in my own family who stopped talking to each other while they knew and cared for each other for decades, just because grief has a way of taking certain actions and presenting them like an absolute betrayal. I have to say that this does not even compare to some of the things I've seen.

The paragraph above is more or less what I'd write if I were to include this part on my big-ass post back then. My thinking about it hasn't changed. The evidence hasn't changed. I don't think her issue ever was how John Reardon was with Diesel, because as I said, the show has been going on for years now. I could perhaps buy it if we were still on year 2 or even 3 of it. Not the point, either way. She needs to get over herself and the production (who are way more culpable than her in all this, and we need that reminder for sure today) need to see that they've left the show leader-less with someone taking over PR responsibilities as well and speaking for them, which is certainly damaging. She's an associate to these productions, she doesn't even work for Shaftesbury or the others in their company, she works for the show.

As for the constant mistreatment of the fans by everyone? Apparently, you're not a fan if you are pointing the obvious, you are a "fan". In quotations. And you're cruel, and you're also an idiot because you believe whatever is on social media. Well, she's right about one part. I have my own mind and certain posts on Reddit can't change that, nor can she with her perfectly polite and yet biting comments. Questioning OUR loyalty to the show? Fuck that. I've been with this show from 2020. But more than that, I wasn't born yesterday. I know when I'm being manipulated. And I can tell when someone has stabbed somebody else in the back and then they turn around and say, "Hm, what if they fell on the knife on their own?"

Anyway, I guess I'll tune in for the next episode of "Master Tactician John Reardon Hypnotizes A Fandom Without Even Blinking", a gripping parody told by Shaftesbury and Associates.

P.S.: There are rude words but it takes a special kind of manipulator to pull this off and then pin it on someone else behind the scenes while preaching positivity. Kudos.
