I think Game of Thrones damaged collective expectations for television media and is the reason for the decline of full length low budget seasons.
We all know HBO is high budget cable even before, but Game of Thrones was arguably the first time one of their shows became so massively, globally successful. People who had never consumed fantasy media in their lives were watching Game of Thrones. It became mainstream culture rather than nerd culture so your coworkers weren’t going to make fun of you for liking it. In fact, your coworkers probably watched it too.
Before this the only TV shows that achieved anywhere close to this level of popularity (and even then were not nearly as popular as Game of Thrones) were network shows, usually TV comedies. These were low budget and had full seasons! Things like HIMYM, Big Bang Theory, The Office. You either watched them or knew multiple people who watched them. Sometimes TV dramas also reached this level of popularity—Shondaland shows to name a few. Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder. Even if you didn’t watch them, you had heard of them. These were also network shows. Low budgets, 22 episodes. Not to mention network television is FREE so it has the potential to reach a much wider audience than cable.
But Game of Thrones exploded into common popularity. Even people who didn’t watch much television watched Game of Thrones. And you know what they had because it’s an HBO show? Insanely high budgets and 10 episode seasons. They were basically making ten short movies released as TV seasons. There’s nothing inherently wrong with that itself, it worked well for Game of Thrones. The problem is how its affected television production since then. Sure shorter seasons and miniseries have existed before, but it feels like they’ve been in an upward trend ever since Game of Thrones
Every studio with a streaming service wants to create the next mega popular phenomenon like Game of Thrones so they copy the formula. Big budget, shorter seasons. Quality over quantity. But in doing so they neglected the main format television has used for quite a while. Network seasons are fewer and far between with smaller budgets and shorter seasons so they can invest more in the high budget shows. And a few of them were good, but somewhere along the way, they lost sight of the quality part and throw microbudgets at shows for six episode runs and are surprised when no one gets invested after only six episodes when we used to get 22 episodes and since no one’s watching anyway they just cancel it without giving the show a chance to find its legs. If it happens to get a lucky with a second season but there’s not EXPONENTIAL growth in viewership? Cancelled. Why is no one watching tv anymore? Why does no one want to pay for our streaming service that releases maybe one show you like every other year? Why why why they ask when they ruined a perfectly good formula and make things less and less accessible

My favourite thing about tumblr is that whenever there’s news, like the titanic submarine, India landing on the moon and now the Trump mugshot, it always causes supernatural to be trending too since it’s always the “I love you” template

Literally my fav thing ever

Probably SUCH an unpopular opinion except in my little corner of the world, but BOY would Bridgerton so be my thing if it weren't for all the sex scenes

I love Michael Sheen so much that man is an acting genius and so talented. The things he does with micro-expressions are especially beautiful and he shines in every role I’ve ever seen him in. He is, in my opinion, the blueprint of an acting chameleon, he completely transform into roles and obviously cares so much for his characters. I wanna see more Michael appreciation please and thank you.

I’m telling you, keeping the fandom alive can absolutely bring a cancelled show back.
When Fox cancelled Brooklyn Nine Nine, everyone on twitter constantly made posts about how much they love the show and would do anything to get another season. When NBC saw the support that Brooklyn Nine Nine got, they picked the show back up (in fact, a fan was allowed to play a major character in an episode).
Dead End Paranormal Park can come back. Infinity Train can come back. Mao Mao Heroes of Pure Heart can come back. Inside Job can come back. Close Enough can come back.
All your favorite shows that were cancelled can still come back. We, the fans, can help. If you have the ability to watch the show legally please do. If you have an idea for a fanfiction, please write it. Showing continuous love and support actually goes a long way.

I'm not that long on Tumblr yet, so I might be wrong. But it seems there is an unspoken rule that at least one queer Show/Media has to be trending at a given time. And I love that.

The group of three mean girls thing is crazy because I remember like...maybe one scene of Amity, Boscha and Skara together and that's it.
It's that and the main character having two friends for me. I can't believe Dana copied Fairly Oddparents because the main character in that also has two friends.
So many examples of that post were just *two characters with completely different personalities standing similarly* and *the most vague/basic/common trope in existence*

headcanon that hazel had the most parasocial beef imaginable with shirley temple. 8 year old hazel was writing hate mail to the local paper with her crayons calling the also 8 year old shirley a sellout and an industry plant. in 2010 hazel's watching nick at nite on the fifth cohort rec room tv and sees the 2 minute long shirley temple box set commercial and loses her fucking mind.

You know what I would love to see?
Buck and Eddi accidentally getting way to close to each other and then staring into each other’s eyes and just kind of realizing what’s going on or at least finally feeling the tension that’s been there for years already.
And that’s how you can tell that I’ve been watching way too many kdramas lately

one of the best things about watching star trek now, multiple episodes at a time instead of week-by-week, is that sometimes I get the wonderful tonal whiplash of having just finished a dead serious episode about the aftermath of war and the way it affects all those who fought in it only to immediately get “THERE IS A CON ARTIST PRETENDING TO BE THE DEVIL AND SHE WANTS TO FUCK THE CAPTAIN”

i love the crystal gems as a family. a lot of people were looking for the gems to be explicitly "condemned" in future for lowkey messing up steven's childhood but.. that wasn't what mattered for steven nor the narrative. so many family stories are jaded or are in response to jaded depictions--"it's okay because they care!" but it's okay because steven himself cares. maybe steven lashing out at the gems for his upbringing would be cathartic to some, but it's not what mattered anymore. he just wanted love.
