#to my fellow izzy hands apologists just know however ur feeling rn is valid and dont let ppl make you feel bad about it

i know a lot of people dont want us to be upset in a way that makes them uncomfortable, they dont want us to be mad, they want us to only be sad and cry in our little corners, but we're allowed to grieve in whichever way we please, and you know why? because the writers are getting exactly what they wanted, a reaction. and you know why theyre not getting the sad, whiney reaction they may have expected? because it was cruel, and it was poor writing, simple as that. i think a lot of us izzy fans are actually not asking for a lot, we understand that any of the side characters were in the cross hairs to possibly be killed, its a pirate show (oh now we care that theyre pirates and its not just a workplace romantic comedy, there are stakes, sure convenient, but whatever) but, it was the manner in which hes killed, i think if we saw izzy fully transform into the man he was meant to be, with years of pain and trauma finally shed, and happiness an actual reality for him, and they chose to kill him off at the end of season three, well, it'd still hurt like hell, but it wouldnt feel like this. instead he was never given a chance, a chance at anything really. his death did not serve a bigger purpose for the show, and not for the characters, i dont believe anyone that says that his death was necessary for a single plot point or character development, as if izzy was some great evil holding everything back. no, he was killed for one simple reason, because they knew itd be upsetting, and i hope theyre happy because i am upset, congratulations, you upset me, but guess what, you dont then get to decide how i express this feeling, you dont get to upset someone and then tell them not to be upset because its just really killing the vibe for you. (that being said i will of course not be contacting or harassing anyone involved in the show, no, never, just airing out feelings so they dont become poison inside myself, turning poison into positivity)
