#STOP CANCELLING SHOWS

[anakinthinker]

what is the point of watching tv shows if they’re just going to cancel after the first season??

[thstarsofsilver]

the cancellation of 'how i met your father' is actually a much greater loss for television than i'm sure most people are going to give it credit for.

for starters, this show marked a big part of bringing back longer-format sitcoms, where seasons lasted 24 episodes and the idea was to follow the characters through several years of their lives, marking major life milestones, etc. it leaned into the comedy, both physical and witty, and allowed its audience the pleasure of following an assorted group of random but very close friends through shenanigans. it had the simple joy of good old fun.

it also seemed like a great example of very casual but genuine representation & diversity. one thing i loved about the show was how there was poc representation & lgbtq+ representation, but that wasn't the only thing those characters were there for. sid was a south asian man, but it didn't define him - even without that he would've been a fleshed out and interesting character. ellen was an east asian lesbian, and the same applied for her. in fact, her journey of self-love was an important part of her story, and yet it was not at all related to either aspect of her identity. (i know they weren't the only examples, but you get it.)

minorities were allowed to exist as humans, without existing only as minorities, which is a box many shows put their characters in, and it was nice to see it done well for a change. yes, it could have had even more diversity, but the point very much still stands, including in the fact that we never saw sophie's son because he could have been any race (a welcomed progression from the characteristic 00s all-white himym cast).

i know lots of people gave the 1st season a shot and didn't come back for the 2nd, because they found it forced and cringey and various other things.

but in s2 the writing and characters found their feet - the jokes were funnier, the stories were more enjoyable, the characters were more lovable, and it was clear that with time the show had grown into itself.

and it's a shame, for himyf, its fans & the sitcom genre as a whole, that this show will never be allowed any more time, never be afforded the opportunity, to keep growing, and conclude all those stories they set up.

Hi guys! So, you probably know netflix decided to cancelled "Dead boy detectives" season 2 which is unfair, why are all the good shows cancelled when really bad ones are renewed!

People on tiktok decided to make a watch party on Thursday, September 5th at 7pm (Great Britain summer time) in hope to make top 10 and show Netflix they were wrong.

I know the show is important for many people so help us trying to save it.

i love how somebody can simply post “i just started watching dead boy detectives :p” and there will be a flood of dead boy detectives fans eagerly waiting on the other side

reminder that making time for your friends, even when you're tried and socialising feels overwhelming is important to do every so often. it's especially important to do this actually.

time alone can be good, for a time, but humans are social creatures and we need to talk to people, there's nothing wrong with that!!

sometimes the more time you spend alone the more your brain will tell you to stay alone. that's not true, you're allowed to (and should!!) see people that are important to you. sometimes that alone can be surprisingly healing.

How do I say this without getting dogpiled:

I, too, desperately need to see Glorfindel come to life in today's media, but I am not so desperate that I would want it in Rings of Power, do you know what I mean?

Seduced to the Dark Side

The word 'seduce' was always so jarring in the original Star Wars trilogy. My siblings and I used to laugh our heads off imagining Palpatine slowly raising his black robes to expose his pale boney ankle Victorian Lady-styles and this being what convinces Vader to join him.

The Acolyte doesn't ever use the word 'seduce'. Osha says, "That's the path to the dark side". It's Star Wars canon now that they had to start describing it as 'seduced to the dark side' because of Osha and Qimir

I LOVE the fact that Osha and Qimir have haunted the narrative for THOUSANDS of years, causing the Jedi in 9+ movies/shows to be like « Careful, a long long time ago in a galaxy far far away a bad guy got the girl by tilting his head and speaking softly and making her soup and telling her it was okay to have feelings. He even went swimming...(lowers voice to a whisper) naked. Be afraid, be very afraid. Try to resist »

@ceciart ive not been able to stop thinking about your au art and i already have a fic concept planned out for deadboyween. im obsessed.

[nosegayyyyy]

please tell me i was the first one to have this idea (i’m definitely not but let a person believe 😭)

[not-kayvalencourt]

Let's all put on our thinking caps and see that there is no actual evidence that iskall didn't do anything but his own word. There is, however, massive amounts of evidence that he did.

If you follow me and support iskall (or stress), unfollow me. The bullshit tantrum he just had and the amount of people there are supporting him is actually disgusting. If you genuinely believe him, you need to look up manipulation tactics. He is going to use his fame to get people to trust him, just like he did to his victims.

so like... when does this shit fucking stop? when do we stop having to fight for a new show to live past season one and being afraid we'll never see anything beyond the end credits to the last episode of it's first (and soon to be only) season? when do we stop having to spread the word to play the season on loop in the background of our day to day lives? when do we stop having to drop fucking everything to binge a whole season of a brand new show so they see good fucking completion rates or whatever greedy bullshit criteria they come up with? when do we have to stop doing social media campaigns where we beg and cry to studio execs for the chance to get eight more fucking episodes? when does it fucking stop

so the doctor fantasised that space baby he met once could be his own space baby so hard, we got a whole season where he redacted his companion's life for us? by accident?

Me: Posts a screen shot of the time NG liked one of my Good Omens posts THE DAY BEFORE the SA allegations come out.

Me: Posts how excellent a show Kaos is and makes a joke about how Netflix will therefore definitely cancel it THE DAY BEFORE Netflix cancels it.

Am I…am I Kaos? I think I’m Kaos.

Twiddles thumbs: Oh Gee, I really wish Good Omens season 3 will become unpaused and go back into Pre-Preproduction!

[cl0wn-tim3]

Oh, show with actually good representation and plot and vibes that littraly no one has ever seen because it was a Netflix original that got canceled after 2 seasons, my beloved.
