#STOP CANCELLING SHOWS

[anakinthinker]

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

[athenaspeculiardaughter]

Hi guys! So like 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.

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.

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 »

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

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!

So Time Bandits joins the ranks of shows cancelled after one season, hot on the heels of Dead Boy Detectives and so many others. Feeling sad and pissed off - as are many of us.

But I've also been hit this morning with a fresh wave of gratefulness for S2 of OFMD. At least we got that chapter of the story, and it gave us so many wonderful moments.

And I'm SO thankful to the writers of OFMD for leaving our boys in a safe place. Maybe we'll see them again one day, but until then they are together, they love each other, and they are safe. And that's beautiful

Me every time I open a new show on Netflix:

Welp, guess it’s time to block out everything in my life and focus exclusively on the lives of characters that don’t exist for the foreseeable future and then cry when it inevitably gets cancelled

I dreamed we had an extra episode of DBDA where Edwin and Charles kissed and I felt genuine happiness for the first time in a while

i was hoping to make a post like this under happier circumstances, but here goes.

as some of you know, everything with the cancellation and renewal campaign has happened right on top of the worst part of my mom's cancer treatment (plus the show was cancelled on my actual birthday 💀). i won't go into details, but it's been tough. lots of ups and downs, mostly downs, luckily ending (for now) on as much of an up as circumstances allow. the whole thing has been weirdly tied to the cancellation for me, kind of amplifying every feeling. the grief got mixed up, and there was so much of it - mourning the loss of the kind of future i thought i'd have with my mother and the time we might not get, mourning the end of a show that means so much to me and is such a big part of my life. different types of grief, sure, and of different magnitudes, but in one big ugly swirl. i sort of had a breakdown right at the start of february, and it was because of news about my mom, but it morphed into my brain telling me everything i'd ever written was shit and wanting to delete it all. stuff like that, spilling over.

anyway. i was holding off on writing this post to see if the show got picked up by someone else. but i still want to say it. because what also spilled over was the support and community from this fandom, and being in this space (despite the rough times and high emotions) helped me through it, because of all of you here. whether we talk regularly, or you left a comforting reply or simply a like on one of my posts about having a hard time (i tried to keep them few), or wrote a nice comment on a fic, or said something funny or nice or insightful in the tags of a gifset, or was active here (or on twt) in any way, talking/sharing/creating stuff about the show - THANK YOU.

you all helped me through all the ups and downs, and i am so grateful. thank you for being here, listening, distracting, helping me feel some joy despite the horrors. i love you and i love this incredible show and all it has brought and will continue to bring and inspire, and although it should go without saying, i'm not going anywhere. just do me a favor and give yourself a big ol' hug from me, and know that you made a difference for some random guy on the internet (but in reality for many more, and for this fandom as a whole, just by being here and being you) 💕

JATP x DBDA crossover where the Phantoms are free but Willie still isn’t and Caleb is playing dirty now that the boys have bested him (possessing Nick but also cmon he definitely has more magic up his sleeve) so they start trying to figure out Magic on their own, which is really just Julie and Flynn googling things and trying out various types of magic/spells/scam artists in the area, only for someone to come across something to do with the DBDA who are happy to take the case 👀

I have too many WIPs for this but just some ideas floating around my head:

- Crystal at first butts heads with Julie and Flynn (residual mean girl tendencies/differing senses of humor) but end up bonding over being surrounded by (dumb) dead teenage boys

- None of the Phantoms are good at proper spells but their music 100% has magical properties that is utilised in whatever final battle type event happens

- Edwin has come to terms with Charles’s eccentricities but the Phantoms are a whole other type of teenage boy and I think he would be just so catty about it all. Like why are they cute and so stupid this is ridiculous why the Hell did we even take this case can they please take this seriously

- Charles and Reggie vibe. I don’t make the rules

- Flynn can’t see the boys either which naturally leads to hijinks

- Monty attends a concert (he deserves to have fun) and while I considered him being the link between the two groups I think it would be funnier if he decided to go to a concert and runs into them coincidentally

- Based on a precursory AO3 search I’ve seen some fics where Monty gets in trouble with Caleb which makes sense with the whole magic familiar angle but I’m not copying here so I won’t get into that

- I think Willie interacting with DBDA would be wild. Like. Dead pretty boy with a sense of humour and tragic backstory? They’re all swooning fr

- Niko (shhh) gets along with Julie and Flynn IMMEDIATELY like they are talking about shows and DIYing things together and it’s great

- Crystal gets along better/faster with Julie and Flynn with Niko present fs

- There’s at least one dance number with everyone involved

- possessed!Nick is still trying to woo Julie and not only do we get the Phantoms side eyeing him but now we get the DBDA just openly judging him (Crystal roasts the shit out of that fedora and she’s RIGHT)

- Crystal would decimate any of Carrie’s attempts at being bitchy so I think we have to redeem Carrie for that reason alone

- DBDA goes to a JATP concert and the boys are actually awful at vibing there. Like Crystal is relatively normal (idk if it’s her scene but she’s been to concerts before) but Edwin does not know what to do at a modern concert and Charles is used to a much different style of dancing/concerts (I don’t know enough abt aka punk to elaborate unfortunately but ykwim)

- girls night includes style swapping bc the DBDA girlies deserve some butterfly clips and the JATP girlies deserve some eyeliner

- in the nature of JATP I don’t think Caleb gets sent to hell in the end but I do think his ending needs to be ridiculous. Like have him get the Night Nurse treatment and get eaten by that fish so he can be redeemed by Kashi

- not to bring up Monty again but I think he sticks around and keeps up with the JATP crew more than the DBDA (he is not interested in any more of that Hell/monster energy and that’s so valid of him)

- montage of Edwin and Charles teaching the Phantoms ghost abilities (I can’t remember if/how they vary between shows but if so shhh or explain it away yk)

- Unseen Emily reprise and it’s all the boys mourning loved ones. Just for the feels.

- Actually just more backstories for everyone please

- Love ballad/slow song that Willex and/or Payneland dance to 🥰

- Palasaki being openly in love (which inspires whatever the Flynn x Carrie ship is bc I love them)

I'm just sayin. Rose knew exactly what the fuck she was doing when she guilted Jack into joining that dinner. She fucking knew what she was doing
