I feel no need to forgive, but I might as well But let me kiss your lips, so I know how it felt

[thclonelyisland]

so so so so so pissed off about étoile getting canceled.

how representative is it that a tv show about the current growing depreciation of the arts got canceled following its first season despite a two-season order. of course the show was right after all. companies will make zero effort to promote and support the arts and will turn their backs on it as soon as they decide it’s not profitable (after not even making a slight effort to make it lucrative - even though that should not be the point). i truly think this was a sabotage situation because there is a new creative director on amazon and they didn’t even want to give the show a chance, probably thinking that being about ballet the show was not going to ever be successful. no late night shows, no magazine covers, no buzzfeed or other famous platforms videos, an all at once release against the creators’ wishes… you couldn’t even find the show on the amazon platform unless you actively searched for it and i’m serious.

and even with all that effort for it to not be known it still gained a surprisingly large viewership which only illustrates how it had serious potential.

i feel fucking awful and i still had so many ideas for edits, but i dont even want to anymore cause it hurts too bad. it hadn’t even been TWO MONTHS since its release. it was slowly getting around by word of mouth.

idk man i’ve been following this show since it was announced years ago and it was so incredibly dear to me. asp and dan are horrible people and deserve the worst, but when i think about the incredible cast and crew and all the artists involved in it… oh i feel so bad. this was a once in a lifetime opportunity for so many of them and the show’s love for the arts was so genuine. it doesnt even feel real but also not surprising considering capitalism is literally made to destroy art.

Etoile had better get a season 2 because "guy has to call in his old situationships Mama Mia style to save a dying ballet company" is a good premise for a show, but "guy made several major life decisions based on the idea that his comatose mentor was about to die, but he lived and now everyone has to deal with the ramifications" is a GREAT premise for a show.

they had to keep them on opposite sides of the globe most of the time because had they been allowed to hang out more often their combined bestfriendism and autistic swagger would have singlehandedly saved The Arts and the entire premise of the show would have been nil
