little pre-warning for suicide (i'm fine though!!)

sorry if this isn't articulated very well but like. i got into ofmd only last october when season 2 was airing and i still remember it's bc i got a clip on tiktok of the "is that blackbeard?" "no, i'm blackbeard" scene which is SUCH a good fucking hook btw. and before watching it i kind of actually hated it LOL like people do with anything that's popular and Everywhere it just oversaturates sometimes. and it made me feel kind of silly to go back on my own opinion but i didn't even really dwell on that bc me getting into it also happened to coincide with a failed suicide attempt (that kind of funnily also included a gun that misfired like in-show lol). and like i was pretty understandably all over the place, but generally still in the "i want to live" moment that happens right after you nearly properly die. and the thing about suicide recovery is that you don't actually want to recover. so it was a really up and down left and right kind of situation and you're left feeling kind of like a puppet with no strings that's also been thrown into the ocean or something.

but then i liked this show that was funny and silly and i also got to see trans and gay people existing happily and normally which isn't necessarily NEW but it did feel really cool and unique to be able to go Oh and this is the moment where they would usually leave it to subtext and then they actually KISS and it's like woahhhh. i didn't know they could do that... and then as i was still processing what was happening with my own life and like mortality i got to see this character go through the exact same thing and come out on the other side of it ENTIRELY by himself and experience love and self determination and actualisation and i'm not saying it made me want to do it myself but it did feel like a really personal thing for me (hence anon also lol).

and for the few weeks it was coming out i got to sit there and think about how he was doing and it gave me another reason to not do something again. like i am so definitely not the only one who can say "this show saved my life" but honestly it literally did. like there's that thing when you're suicidal where the things that you're sticking around for are the only things you've got so they're as important as anything even if it's like... going to a concert the following week or something. or getting a burger. and i really honestly stuck around just to love this show and my cat.

it's been a few months now ofc and it still sucks and i'm not better or anything but being able to indulge in something fun for fun's sake is the biggest source of joy in my life and tbh it's not gonna go away just because there's going to be no season 3. when i'm feeling too much of particularly anything i have a handy little balm which i know everyone feels but still. a little gifset of ed always makes me feel better if i'm freaking out so it's cool i don't care if it's a bit lame. i'm a bit sad for season 3 and everyone being sad is also making me sadder but i still have a lot of love left so ah. it'll be fine :)

if anything i hope this inspires people to have a little boom in the numbers re: content now that we know there'll be no canon to possibly diverge from and we can make up our OWN season 3 ‼️ which will be fun :)

hi anon sorry i didn't reply to this yesterday i wanted to sit and think about what to say

and then i didn't really come up with anything lmao other than you're right and i love you and i love this show and it's so incredibly important to me and so groundbreaking in so many ways and has made me feel seen in a way that no other piece of media ever has. the queer rep is groundbreaking. the portrayal of ed's suicidality moved me beyond words. there are dozens of other people sharing stories about how ofmd helped them to come out or meet their partner or start transitioning or quit something that was making them unhappy. i watched s2 at a time while i was really struggling with post-covid symptoms. i've met so many incredible people through this fandom. i think about the show dozens of times a day. the show brought me so much joy and they can't take that away

they can't ever take away how special it was and how much it's changed people's lives

i'm very excited to see what the amazing fic writers in this fandom are going to give us in place of s3. i just wish we could've had the rest of the story david wanted to tell

it's absolutely insane how y yo a ti cas has now become such a destiel fandom staple like anyone coming into the fandom after november 2020 will have to look it up to see why so many destiel gifsets and lists of quotes and love confessions have these two confessing their love in spanish of all languages and i find that in equal parts insanely funny and incredibly sweet. this fandom could've as a whole chosen to only have the translated english confession, but we chose those words that dean canonically uttered. i don't doubt that there'll be a surge of the english version if/when we get to see it, but seeing gifsets and posts with y yo a ti cas feels so wonderful in a way i can't explain. it encapsulates the way my insides froze and my heart jumped the first time i heard dean say those words, in a way that the translated version of dean's spanish reciprocation doesn't - because thus far, i haven't heard dean speak that aloud. it's special, in a way that i feel will be different if we do get the english version - this was the first time we saw dean's reciprocation, and it's probably the response that will stick in our heads just as strongly, if not more. and with twelve years of history, what's another inside reference?

The gifset you just reblogged (of alicia, ftwd) makes my brain conjure a fic of Lexa leaving Clarke in bed after they agreed not to sleep together after they broken up and now Lexa is having regrets because whilst it's addicting at the time they both know they have to stop. Anyone else get that vibe from those gifs? 😅

Yes!!!

Where they both keep saying 'this is the last time' and still fall in bed together because it's still so good and no one knows their bodies like the other and they work so well when there's no talking between them... And then morning comes and if Lexa doesn't leave there'll be another fight about something, there always is, and it'll remind her of why they broke up in the first place.

The addiction they have for each other while knowing they need to work on themselves before they can even think about being together again and yet just as quickly as Lexa is leaving Clarke's bed she is falling in it again and it's a vicious cycle neither know how to break 😩

Okay, listen here who allowed you to make that gifset of Tin and make me very emotional you even added those sad words which made it worse because here I am now sobbing my heart out. Your gifset made me rewatch Tin and Can's scenes but, hey, at least now I wouldn't be too sad watching Tin's shower scene 'cause I know there'll be s2. After 84 years he'll be out of the shower soon.

Awww omg nonnie <33 hugs 💕 don't cry bb. I mean making a sad gifset was my goal hehe but still. Emotional Tin stuff is my brand so I've probably giffed everything now, but I have yet another one in my drafts.

I'm glad we can be hopeful and happy for S2!! ^^ maybe I can even start creating happier stuff lol
