#fandom solidarity

Hi Supernatural fandom! 🖤

I'm writing on behalf of The Dead Boy Detectives fandom who could desperately use your help! Our show was canceled in its first season, cut off without a care for its dedicated fandom or its insane amount of potential. I made a post about how our shows are similar in that they're niche fantasy/spooky shows with an active fandom, and just like our show Supernatural nearly was canceled unfairly in its early days (after its second season). It then went on to have 15 seasons, as you know, so obviously it would have been a loss on The CW's part if they would have gone through with that cancellation. We believe Netflix is making the same huge mistake!

We're heartbroken, but that hasn't stopped us from trying to convince them to reconsider their decision. Could you guys please sign our petition and help spred it by reblogging?

We have shared custody of Ruth Connell and Steve Yockey, among many others, so it felt right to reach out to you all for help! Here's some support Ruth has received from Supernatural cast and crew that we appreciate so much:

Your fandom is a tight-knit family just like ours, and we desperately want a chance for our show to make its own legacy in the way Supernatural did!

Thank you in advance to any of you who read all of this. If you sign and share our petition in an act of fandom solidarity please know it means the world to our detective agency and we appreciate you so much!!!💀🔎💜

Last thing I promise this post is not intended to clog your tag in any way, I wouldn't want our fandom to bleed into your space! We're just desperate for help and there's so much overlap in our fandoms and shows that it made sense to reach out to you all. Thank you again 🖤

Dear fandom friends, please can you sign the petition to Save Shadow and Bone. We're trying to get to 200,000 signatures by Jan 22nd when our save the show billboard goes up, to make an impression on Netflix (just passed 184k today!), and it would mean so much to me if you could sign to show support for a show I dearly love <3

If there's any cancelled shows you want to trade signatures for with another petition let me know!

Incredibly sad news. This show had great potential, awesome characters, and all of the actors were awesome.

So the writer's strike is over, now the actor's strike is over, and Netflix is punishing their fans and all the people who make their shows actually possible reacting to these oh-so-serious budget adjustments by arbitrarily axing five shows at once. And if they want to play the 'woe is me, i just has no monies' card, cue their latest quarterly report:

Remember, kids, companies aren't allow to lie in their quarterly reports because that information is intended for their shareholders. They can lie to YOU all they want, but they go to Actual Prison if they lie to rich people.

Here's the link for the full article, if you care, which is backed up by many other reputable news sources if you want to get tetchy about it being from 'The Hollywood Reporter':

So all this to say, you good, 'Shadow and Bone' fandom? Rough times, getting invested in a Netflix show; we've all been there. Hope y'all are doing well <3

[oh-no-bummer]

[big-fudge888]

@netflix ur literally a supervillain with a masters in homophobia and racism i hope ur knees hurt from all the time you’ve spent sucking capitalism’s dick

[kooldewd123]

i'm noticing some themes this season

[alltimefail]

Hello Good Omens fandom - I'm reaching out to you in a plea of fandom solidarity! Please help us!!!

I'm writing on behalf of The Dead Boy Detectives fandom: our show was canceled in its first season, cut off without a care for its dedicated fandom or its insane amount of potential. Yet another queer, diverse, supernatural show suffers an unfair fate and we're bloody sick of it! We believe Netflix and Warner Bros. are making a huge mistake!

Could you guys please sign our petition and help spread it by reblogging?

We're not just trying to get a season 2: we're trying to get justice for the cast, crew, and writers behind this unapologetically queer show. They had the writers write a season 2 just to cancel the show and, frankly, that's objectively a slimy thing to do. I believe Dead Boy Detectives is a casualty of its time, that shows cult-clasic, niche shows like Buffy or Supernatural for instance would suffer the same fate today if held to Netflix's callous and cruel standards and their blatant disregard for creatives.

Lastly, our shows are actually quite similar, and I think if you enjoy Good Omens you would enjoy Dead Boy Detectives as well! Please don't let the cancellation deter you, it really it a phenomenal show that will have you laughing one moment and crying the next. It has so much heart! Please help us save our boys who defy heaven and hell with their love! 💜

Thank you in advance to any of you who sign. Netflix has gotten far too comfortable nuking shows, especially those with queer themes and diverse leading chacters, in their prime. If you sign and share our petition in an act of fandom solidarity please know it means the world to our detective agency and we appreciate you so much!!!💀🔎💜

Last thing I promise this post is not intended to clog your tag in any way: this will be the only post I make in your tag! I wouldn't want our fandom to bleed into your space! We're just desperate for help and there's so much overlap in our fandoms and shows that it made sense to reach out to you all - I figure the least I can do for the show I love so much is to try. Thank you again 🖤

hi school spirits fans!!

i made this same proposition to the umbrella academy fandom, and now i bring it to you; while you await season 2 of school spirits there is another netflix show called 'dead boy detectives' that i believe you would enjoy

it also centers around dead teenagers solving mysteries, except there is no mystery of their own deaths, it's more like commissioned cases. there's also living people who can see them! like simon!

as someone who enjoyed both shows, i really think this show could be your next watch! and it will help boost its viewing numbers and hopefully save the show!!

win-win situation!! if you watch the show, i hope you enjoy it, and if not i understand. watching shows that got cancelled sucks, but i still truly think dead boy detectives is worth it

[chaosandwolves]

All you lovely ppl from other fandoms who celebrate with us

I love you!!

You sharing the joy with us is so amazing!!!

If you have the energy and motivation and mood for it may I ask for your help to leave some positive comments on certain articles?

Check out this post if you feel like this

911 has been the most viewed scripted TV show for years (as to my knowledge)

It's massive

And this rep is like TV history

So if you feel like it, leave some positivity and show the execs and Hollywood that ALL sorts of queer storylines belong into mainstream media

I do not know what is happening in the 911 fandom but do you need me to call 911 for y’all

"Your show might be delayed by the wga strikes!"

I watched Sherlock, mate. We waited three years for the 3 worst episodes you've ever seen. This is nothing

[hkblack]

Hi folks. There seems to be a lot of confusion about what we as fans can and can't do with the striking happening. So I made a flowchart.

Let me make this SUPER DUPER EXTRA CLEAR. Unless an AMPTP studio reaches out and says "We would like to give you X (money/swag/whatever) to create content for us" (that would include writing or acting in anyway on your part) you will NOT be crossing a picket line.

Cosplay, fanart, fanfic, going feral, sharing marketing posts, watching your favorite show, getting your friends to watch your favorite show, etc does not count.

It is ONLY scabbing if you are getting REIMBURSED by the STUDIO.

Please take this flowchart, repost it, spread it everywhere!

The studios benefit from us being confused. The studios benefit from us not promoting and not watching and cancelling our subscriptions. The unions, the actors, the writers, they all benefit from us promoting in their absence, they get paid when we watch the shows, we bolster their argument when we boost the shows numbers. If we make the media popular and successful the studios have to meet the writers and actors at the table, and the writers and actors will be in the position of power.

So about last episode huh?

Most of these are somewhat fusions of animals and bugs to some extent
