Starting 2026 really felt like entering a nightmare. Rather than feeling like outcasts were seen, loved, celebrated and accepted- it was the total flip side of that coin.

A constant humiliation ritual.

• Soprano’s finale was brought up right away

• dvds in little red envelops give red scripts

• the DB were also excited for “the next chapter”, but also remember being scared

• “Our generation screwed things up for you, not us specifically, we’re just making a tv show”

• They decided to write not a life-changing (speech) but the nerdiest one: and yet in the finale Mike says goodbye to his nerdiness and cries

• They (Ross mostly) do sound like the nerdiest nerds, good for them and hopefully for us (they know about D&D way more than they used to say they do, but what else is new)

• They say we should keep opening chests bc if we stop we never find out what is in the next one

• “It’s a maze after all, and there is no sign post to show you where to go”

• What you will regret is taking no risk at all (smth smth ab the safe finale and Mike’s fate in general)

• They used the word “slop” speaking of AI, and I won’t ever believe they don’t know that this is how many viewers call s5

• and something about the fact that they literally do the nerdy speech at the graduation the way Dustin did? Okay

• “You should refuse the average and let your freak flag fly”

• The more wrong-vulnerable you are, the more people call you cringe, — oh really? They say that thousands of people call them names, and it always hurts (I HOPE SO), but really when could so many people insult them if not after s5?

• “The average can never be an individual. Your individuality is the most valuable thing you’ll ever own, don’t you dare flatten it.”

Finally listened to the grad speech* and if it won't make you believe in lwg or c/g, that's completey fair. HOWEVER, if this speech proves one thing, it's that the DBs we saw in the documentary, and in all the interviews since the finale have been putting up an act.

Because that was a beautiful, heartfelt speech and shows exactly why so many of us fell in love with ST. It wasn't a generic, AI-written, soulless speech, but rather the opposite: They took responsibility, were proud of what they've accomplished without forgetting where they came from, and showed vulnerability. Three things we haven't seen them do in their last public appearances.

And it's SO easy to believe that the DBs are these cruel, egomaniac directors, pure evil, and the set was hell on earth etc. etc. because everyone is so frustrated how ST ends, and everyone claims to have insider info, and it's not like they try to make themselves look good... So this speech was really long-needed.

I've already seen so many brilliant detailed analyses, so I'm not going too deep into that, but this is what it looks to me:

-> the Mimic = the fake finale -> Will-O'-the-Wisp = Jan 7, divorcegate, all the predicted dates, "ST got bad since S3", "They stole the script" -> the elder brain = being a cg/lwg truther despite everything

They can release two seasons of an animated project but writing a DECENT FUCKING LAST SEASON was impossible??

I heard they started writing it in 2023.

WHY THE FUCK DIDNT THEY FOCUS ON SEASON 5?

I’ll riot. Let’s all boycott
