#you might be right on the delusion but not bc of the optimism

Delusions are strong with you. Alexi never delivers, so I’m not sure where the optimism is coming from

✨ delulu ✨ pls. k? thx! but okay. let's talk about it.

are we watching the same show? because … he has delivered? chenford was never supposed to happen, it wasn’t something they planned and i can’t believe i’m saying this, but alexi wasn’t actually wrong for the reasons he opposed it early in the series. it was far too complicated and completely went against the morals of both characters — it’s literally the same reason why them hooking up in 5x01 would have been a mistake. the reason that the slow burn worked so well is because both of them fell without even realizing it and once they were able to act on it, there were less challenges which made it easier to get them to a place where they could be canon. granted i know nothing about how a tv show is produced but i’m still willing to bet that for a ship to become canon, the showrunner would have to be on board with it?? which he ultimately was. there are years worth of interviews that show the progression of how his perception changed regarding chenford getting together.

also genuine question — what’s wrong with being optimistic? dude, this world’s shitty enough having a little bit of optimism over a fictional couple is literal bare bones. it costs nothing, it harms no one. 

but to answer your question, the optimism comes from choosing to wait and see how a storyline that’s literally at it’s mid-point plays out; it’s trusting the cast and crew who have poured their heart and soul into this show and have way more to lose than i do; it’s having faith in these two characters and the foundation of their relationship (and i don't mean as a couple); and i guess it's just trying to push back on the pessimism because that's not getting anyone anywhere.

oh! and according to you, it’s apparently the delusions being strong with me too ♡ so idk, take your pick, i guess.

p.s. here's some unsolicited advice (but you came to my ask box 🤷) and i truly mean this in the nicest way: try to be a little bit more positive.

you attract the energy you put out into the world. unless there's one of us here who actually works on the show and wants to spill the tea, none of us know what's ahead. going at this already disappointed will only bring you more disappointment, you're setting yourself up for that one, bud.

p.s.s. if i'm wrong and you're right, i will 100% put on my clown nose and admit it but i really don't think i am.
