#trigger warbing depression

[kinthinia]

I dont post this lightly but JFC Umbrella Academy actually hurt my mental health. Ive already been struggling. But for that to be the end? that's it?

For context. Im someone who when Im depressed, I process and contextualize all of it by watching or reading sadder things to feel better. It works for me. I wouldnt recommend it to other people but angst gets me through shit.

I waited all weekend to watch just for that. It feels more like all the hope got ripped out from my chest. How miserable. How depressing. How sad for the fans to habe the show spit on our faces.

At least Game of Thrones' writers did it for the money and there was some comeuppance when they lost their Star Wars deals for it. This is hollow and empty.

I walked away from this season feeling that the whole point of the show was to inform us that the only way to pay for the sins of your parents is to kill yourself. I would like to personally shake their showrunner down myself and ask if that was the message he intended to send because its certainly the only message he managed to make.

And I feel so bad for the cast who were apparently, it seems, as shocked/disheartened by the ending as many of us and presumably contractually obligated to film anyways.

Those tester audiences they play pilots to? They need to make that happen for series endings at this point.

I work in 7 hours and I need to go do something to decompress. The last time I needed self-care after consuming media was when I was in college watching a child abuse victim recount in detail the abuse they endured. So my bar is pretty high up there for what i can withstand before it directly impacts me.

Dont bother watching umbrella academy. Not the final season. Its not worth it. It adds nothing of value.
