I never did understand that mentality. "Oh, this person doesn't like J*red? Well, let's threaten and throw slurs at this person! That'll make them like him! 😄"

Like, no. That's not how that works.

Also, for a while, I used to have nothing against Jared. No, I wasn't a Stan, but I didn't hate him either. I thought he was a pretty alright dude. And I kinda bought into the whole J2 thing for a while too. Until I started hearing about this shit about him. And at first, I didn't think much of it, it was one story here, one story there, but then it kept. Happening. And then I saw the receipts. And I rewatched convention clips, and this was the turning point for me. It surprises me there's no one talking about this anywhere else. Not Twitter and not Facebook. Or maybe there are, it's just not tagged or trending, which it should be. People need to know about this.

Exactly! It makes no sense in my mind at all.

For context: I also didn't feel especially strongly about JarPad at first. I saw him in the context of the show and found his acting utterly atrocious --- it became a long-running joke in my family and friend base --- but I didn't really care much about him. As I mentioned, I don't look much at bts stuff anyway. This was then followed by a few of my Sam-critical and JarPad-acting-critical posts, which got me slammed by stans so vehemently that my inbox was full of little else for about a week. (I never really mute posts or block people --- perhaps I should, but I never feel the need --- but I muted a few posts and blocked a few folks during that first wave of b.s. I can't bring myself to regret it, either.) After that point, I got even more suspicious of JarPad's character --- I mean, if a man inspires a fanbase like that (heavy on the bad extremes, light on the moderates, and with a hefty dose of threats), something questionable is probably going on. And then I looked through Tumblr and saw posts about him doxxing service workers, treating people like shit in general, the tattoo debacle, et cetera, and I saw his temper tantrum about The Winchesters, and I just lost any and all respect for the man. (And then his stans had the nerve to be like: "well, it's clear you're just jealous or something, since you clearly spend all your time thinking about him" and I'm just sitting there. Like. Wot??!? I honestly do not think of the man unless I'm watching SPN and dying because of his acting, or if someone brings him up.)

I definitely follow what you're describing though. That's probably the path I would have taken if the stans didn't chuck me into the deep-end of antiJarPad, and I think it's admirable that you paid attention to all the warning signs. (A lot of people I know have... not.) I also very much agree that this information should be wider-spread than it is... I only know what's going on because of Tumblr --- though, I confess, I don't have any other social media (is Tumblr even social media? I don't think so, tbh, but anyway) so I wouldn't know if there's much on there --- and it took some conscious research to find/verify even then.

Thank you for the ask! (Stans dni)

It really is such a long time to decide that this is what you'd like to see but there's the thing of it when you lose all flexibility in being open to what you're actually going to see, it's going to make you miserable and feel like it's bad writing when it's just writing that isn't yours.

I didn't know they ended up together either but thought they were adorable too. I actually don't remember how I found out they end up together, tbh. Maybe a random comment about them having their season? It got me to look into the books and then start reading them. And I'm with you, thank god it's a canon ship, I would have been so irritated otherwise, hah.

He's come back more flirty each time so I have no doubts he was learning how to do all of that while gone. There's no way he got burned by Marina then set off to travel without his brother's words in his head about it. Even if he was trying to prove something to himself, he would have discovered that sex and love are easily separated when one has the motivation to do so. It looks like they're finally trying to add some of Colin's book character to the show version and I think some people maybe don't get that he is not looking for love when he falls in love with Penelope, it quite literally just comes up behind him and smacks him upside the head without his permission so the idea of him saving himself in that way isn't something I've seen him ever profess in the show anyhow.

I have no idea how I got myself on the Debling hate train, it just happened.😭 Maybe it's because I don't get the vibes passing the test when it comes to Penelope? Not because I think he's evil but I just think she's not into it? He does give her something I think she needs outside of herself and Colin and that's okay but also get away from girl I am going to need you to back up, sir.

Our little compulsive liar! I agree though, she really needs to grow up and let both sides of her come together. Even Pen being in love with Colin is sort of her just loving in his direction? She's not being true to herself a lot of the time with him because she doesn't want to rock the boat but the boat (carriage) needs rocked if it's going to go anywhere. Truly the only thing I think I want to see is him learning about LW before anything major between them happens. I get why they might not for drama but that feels too close to the Marina situation. Maybe they could make it work but I think it needs to come out first for sure.

The man is so obsessed with her, I love it. He goes from 0 to 100 so quick and I do love that in a man, haha.

Oh my god the shippers of Neal and Emma's were insanely intense. They would, from what I remember reading when it was going on, just randomly make stuff up about Hook and then treat it like it was fact from then on even when offered proof it was nonsense. As insufferable as he was for sure. Good on you for killing him off in your fics.

Phillip in the books is truly my favorite after Colin. I hope Eloise's season gives him some of his book personality, he's so complex but also so into Eloise, it's great.

Same! I think how he learns it is the thing I'm most interested in so far. I think it's entirely possible Eloise could slip, not on purpose because I don't think she wants to hurt Penelope but with Colin being so intent on finding LW, it's possible she says something accidentally. Or if he sees her and follows. I kind of want her to yell it at him while they're fighting, ha. I want that anger to turn to passion and go from there.

For real, theorizing should be fun, not a competition. It's not that serious.😄

This is why we need to live in fan fiction and just let our minds drift in and out of different ideas, so we don’t get stuck in one place for too long. It’s the only way to survive the long expanse between seasons. And people forget that the show is not written by them. So, we have to be ok with what we get and if we aren’t pick up the pen to write our own ending.

I don’t know if it makes me a simpleton that I usually just end up following the story and picking canon ships…maybe I just don’t stray too far from a tale. I get too swept up in things normally to have time to do so. I don’t blame those that don’t, they just have better imaginations than me.

Colin is a flirt; he has flirted with Pen more than once. I mean you can’t tell me “What a barb” was not a flirt. And don’t get me started on the way he was staring at her when she was talking about her purpose, you would have thought he was staring at his next biscuit. His brain may not realize it but his body has been teasing her for years. I think you are correct; he is not looking for love, it hits him upside the head suddenly and without any permission that he gave it. He assumes he is only offering assistance and the next he's trying to consume everything about her, including her time, attention, focus.

I did read that the picnic scene is Colin coming to her rescue and my God I almost died on the spot. I assumed that is what it was but holy moly, hero Colin saving Pen while Lord Tater Tot gets to hold her. He will be beside himself. All I saw was red…Get your hands off our girl! I’m stepping into the Debling hate ring with you!!

I love it when women accept who they are, the good, the bad and the ugly. It’s not easy to accept all of you. And honestly Pen has some real soul searching to do because she doesn’t write nice things about herself either, so she’s got some stuff to work out there! I would LOVE for her to show the Pen that she’s been showing in all these promos…because that Pen could go a few rounds with Colin! Tell him how it is and how she feels, and I am here for that! That Pen can match Colin in that carriage! 0 to 100 for sure!

The stuff they made up about the toxicity of Hook. When in fact there was never a better story of redemption written for one person than Killian Jones. Like they killed that thing. It was beautiful. I could kiss that man. The only complaint I had was they should have ended it a season earlier. As much as I loved Officer Jones…It was not the same show or my Hook! But ship wars are notorious for making up absolute toxic shit from nothing.

Nothing about this show should be serious. IT’S A ROMANCE NOVEL TURNED INTO A TELEVISION SHOW ON NETFLIX! Our live wont end without it! But I’ll be really unhappy if it’s not May 16th soon!
