#series: shadow and bone

[mando-lore]

Oh GOD

Kaz falling into water???????

I smell a flashback

[sunnylemonss]

it should be illegal for netflix to print their little "now a netflix series!" circles DIRECTLY on the cover of books that inspired shows they've cancelled

[lune-de-miel-au-paradis]

I loved this! Whoever cane up with the idea deserves a huge raise, and the artist or artists who created the desings too. 🤩

shadow and bone, season 2 episode openings

My apologies to the hard working, unfairly treated, writers, directors, cast and crew but I am not exaggerating when I say I am one more cancelation from not being willing to start any more new shows. I can't keep getting attached to these characters and excited to see their stories only for them to canceled after one or two seasons and never be told. Especially when most of them only get eight episodes or less. I wouldn't mind short seasons if I got a complete story but that rarely happens anymore.

I made this because today has been a whirlwind of fandom news for me (except for the still needing to watch the last 2 episodes of the most recent Loki season...I simply was reminded of that, lol) and this meme was the perfect way to express the overwhelm XD

I think one of the most overlooked factors in Netflix's cutthroat approach to deciding wether to renew a show is that they wholly underestimate the power of fandoms.

They seem to think that unless a show is record-breaking or award-winning it will not be profitable to renew but they fail to recognize that most people don't give a shit about the accolades as long as a show is good.

And even then, it is normal to take more than one eight-episode season to pick up real cultural traction. Plenty of now-beloved shows did not reach mainstream popularity until they were multiple seasons deep.

Netflix fails to consider the longevity of their IPs over the initial peak of interest, and have thus cultivated a self-fulfilling prophecy as people avoid starting new shows because they don't want to become invested in something that is more likely than not to be cancelled, and thus these new shows don't reach the ludicrous viewership standard they have set to justify a renewal.

Sure, they get new subscribers for new shows but what keeps them there? Maybe they'd actually stay subscribed if a new season of something they are invested in is on the way (barring the cost itself, which is a whole different can of worms).

Plenty of people subscribe only for one or two shows- I remember people cancelling their subscriptions when they took The Office off because that show alone was keeping them on the platform.

Supernatural did not get 15 seasons because of its exceptional writing or cinematography (ha), they got 15 seasons because of devoted fans who wanted more. Who kept rewatching and buying merchandise and paying for con tickets.

Daredevil is one of the best shows I have ever seen, and that was at the time where the "early" cancellation was common after three seasons (with 12+ episodes). Inside Job is one of the only adult animated series that I have ever thoroughly enjoyed, and it was lucky to have two seasons. Shadow and Bone had the potential to be a franchise based in the extended Grishaverse, and yet it also ended after two seasons.

Finally- not everyone watches shows the day they release! We don't all have that sort of time, and it's ok to discover a new show a week, a month, a year after it releases! Word of mouth and fan culture/communities have been the rock upon which lasing series are created, from Star Trek to Game of Thrones.

All this to say, @netflix yall get your act together and renew Dead Boy Detectives before you lose your captive audience 🫠

My Six of Crows blanket is officially finished!!

I’m so happy with ittttttttttttt

I know a few people have said they’d be interested in a lil guide on how I did it (I don’t have a pattern bc I just decided to draw up the chart for it myself on a whim and then got committed) so I’m planning on writing that and sharing it soon, please let me know if you’d like to be tagged!

Anyway I don’t think I have anything else to say, I just had to share because I am OBSESSED with how this came outtttt I’m so happy

[renegadesstuff]

“No mourners, no funerals” is a BIG FAT LIE because everyday I am mourning the six of crows adaptation we were robbed of bc Netflix cancelled it😡😡😡

"Kaz no"

— a book by Inej Ghafa, co-authored by Jordie Rietveld, with excerpts from "Kaz: the Demjin" by Matthias Helvar, followed by a sequel "Slay Queen" by Nina Zenik and Jesper Fahey

Kaz in the epilogue of Crooked Kingdom, watching Inej carve Pekka Rollins' chest:

[peraltuki]

Oh Lord ‼️‼️‼️‼️

[multi-fandom-bi]

List of crimes Kaz will not do:

1. Sell and exploit women and children

2. Force people to work for him via indentures

All i'm saying is Kaz would violate every law, just not human rights and that's what I love about him
