I allowed myself some time to think. To let it sink in. And then I wrote a long post, laying out my feelings about what has happened over the weekend. It was ugly. I meant every word. But then I realised Iāll achieve nothing by posting it.Ā
So this is all that Iāll say about it.
Iām done. I canāt do this anymore. I always refused to play their games but this is a whole new level of fucked up and I just canāt.Ā Real wedding, fake wedding, not a wedding, someone elseās wedding, I donāt care. Because whichever version is real, they are playing with us. Itās all a game to them. You are either private or you are not. What weāve seen was neither. One post. Coming from her. Maybe just a pic of the rings.Ā āIām married, I love him, please respect our privacyā. Others do it. Itās so easy. Itās so real. Itās still private. Thatās all it would took. She owns the people who supported her all these years at least that. Especially after she hijacked promo for the show with her engagment. And you know what, I would respect her for that. Too late now. They missed the window of genuineness. Instead everyone else is doing the dirty work for her. Again. After this performance she canāt claim privacy anymore. They want us to think she got married. They were leading us here for months. It doesnāt matter whether itās true or not because itās fucked up in either case.
All of this bullshit could be over after IFH. Hell, even before that. But they had to play games, didnāt they?
Itās so easy to blame shippers for not believing them. Because there has never been a rumoured couple that denied it, only to turn up to be real. Oh wait, there were. One lied to his own mother about it. One just recently got married and announced it with a simple IG post. Wow, what a concept. Sharing without giving up privacy. What weāve got? The biggest campaign in the history to convince people 2 minor celebrities are not together. Itās ironic. It was the denials that made people even more sure they are lying. Because it wasnāt normal. The constant attacks on shippers by people who have no business of doing that, the staged sightings, leaving breadcrumbs on sm so obvious you could see them from Neptun, stories in tabloids that read like checking off the list of shipper complains, the pushback everytime something that didnāt fit in the narrative happened. How can anyone look back at that and think āThatās normal.ā? Only people who have something to hide use so much energy on denying it. And thatās the problem, isnāt it. She was so busy with convincing us she isnāt with Sam that she forgot to convince us she is with this man. I know, she didnāt have to. But if you donāt try, donāt be surprised when people donāt believe you.
So for me what it comes down to is this. I donāt buy it. That relationship. I donāt know what it is but I donāt believe itās what they want us to think. I havenāt seen anything that would make me believe that it is. Sorry. I tried. I want to believe it, it would be so much easier, but I donāt. Yes, looks like she really married him. Yet I still donāt buy it. No, Iām not in denial. I am more than capable of admitting being wrong. And to be honest, there is a huge part of me that hopes it is real. I could still change my mind. But right now I just donāt think it is real and that belief has nothing to do with Sam and everything to do with that creepy man. They had over 4 years to convince me. They failed every time. The engagement was shady as fuck, the wedding was even worse. It wasnāt private. It was a game. Real life doesnāt need games.Ā
And if it is real⦠I cannot even begin to wrap my brains around just how fucked up it is for everyone involved.Ā
Does this make me crazy and delusional? Probably. Doesnāt matter. Iām done. Some pieces are from one box, some from the other. None give the full picture. After 5 years, Iām simply sick and tired of puzzles. Real, fake, distraction, whatever. I just donāt care anymore because the result is the same. They are playing with us. Always have. And they are all fucking sick cowards.Ā
They could be a power couple. Together or not. Instead they took the magic away because they couldnāt handle that some people believed they were more. I hope it was worth it.
Iām not leaving. Iām done with this whole bullshit but I still love the story and the book is coming, hopefully very soon. I need a dose of a good, real JC stuff. And fanfiction is too good to miss out on. I donāt know about the show. I canāt look at them right now and I donāt have any hopes for s5. Not with that stick so far up someoneās arse. For now my only hope is that I could one day watch first 3 seasons without feeling rage over everything that happened in this hell hole, not just SC saga.Ā
Sam⦠Sigh. I remain his fan, like a fool that I am. Letās just say I have a good reason for that. Iāve put that on hold for now, but Iāll be back at one point. Or maybe not. I never thought I would get to this point. So who knows.
Balfeā¦I never was a big fan of hers to begin with. Most of it was tied to the ship, the rest was lost along the way. So now there is nothing left. I mourn that. I really do.
I truly envy those of you who can just shrug and move on. I canāt forget. I never ever forgive.
Just 2 little things to add.
- Samās fist in her bed. There is absolutely nothing that can convince me that wasnāt him. Nothing. Explain that.
- āCaitriona Balfe and her Samā. Some of you from pre IFH time will remember this story. I never took it as a proof of relationship but it showed me the state of Balfeās mind. And the creep was already in the picture by then, soā¦
Ok, this is it. Thatās all I have to say. And now Iām done.
This post isnāt meant for discussion of any kind, on any point. I simply shared my thoughts and believes. Do not try to engage with me about it. Iām not interested. And I know how to use the block button.
PS: Anyone else finds it funny that there still has been no mention of the wedding anywhere outside of this fandom? We got endless tabloid pieces about the most stupid and ordinary stuff SC did before you could sayĀ āshippersā, but nothing on something this big? Even if this is a repeat of EFH (aka selling story, or more likely paying for it), they canāt control every obscure tabloid site. Yet nothing. No one gives a fuck. Which is hilarious when the person is so obsessed with privacy. Pretentious much?
