Trash

NOW I’M LITERALLY A FLYROCKET19 AND I’M LAUGHING SO HARD. I'm like A HUGE FAN OF THIS CHANNEL THANKS GOD IT EXISTS.

This gets funnier every time I come back.

tumblr “blocked” the gif of Red doing the Tongue In Cheek Thing in s3 after seeing Blonde Liz

Finally, material other than 3A to be my canon lizzington/agnesgate happily ever after ending

AND THEIR FINGERS??? ARE INTERLOCKED?????? EVERYONE KNOWS INTERLOCKED FINGERS HAND HOLDING MEANS YOU WANT TO BANG??????? IT WAS SAID ON QUEER EYE SO ITS OBVS SCIENTIFICALLY TRUE???????????????

To be honest, The Blacklist could have been successfully (as in, doing the characters, the relationships, and the premise/story justice) wrapped up within 5 maybe 6 seasons.

I don't care if Elizabeth Keen's mother was the Virgin Mary herself. It doesn't take almost a decade of full TV seasons to successfully conclude a story. It's just not necessary. How much of the past 8 seasons have been made of actual good writing? And compare that to how much of it was just retcon after retcon, stupid arc after stupid arc, and filler filler filler?

I'm really trying to be as positive as I can (i.e., remember how many ACTUALLY talented writers have gifted us with absolutely amazing lizzington fics over the years), but I think we're still allowed to be upset. Yes, the creators/producers/writers/actors/etc don't owe us anything. Yes, no one forced us to watch the show, make edits, write fics, etc.

But that doesn't change the fact that The Blacklist has been a significant part of many of our lives throughout the years.

I have many great memories of my experience in this fandom, and as upset as I am with how things turned out, I don't regret coming to love this show, because it brought me aboard the lizzington ship, and I made so many shipper friends.

This is the most invested I've ever been in a show/ship. I really believed in it, and I always stayed hopeful.

The show may go on, but for me, it really did end in 3A.

I doubt I'll be active on Tumblr at all once Megan leaves, but you can bet your asses I'll be lurking on AO3 to re-read our treasure trove of fics, to read any (hopefully) new fics that appear, and to maybe even continue writing, myself.

I know there are a lot of toxic "fans" out there too, but my experience with you guys has been nothing short of fucking fantastic.

I love and appreciate you all.

We've all said it a million times before, but really:

We'll always have fanfiction.

tptb may take our Lizzie away from us, but they can never pretend these moments never happened.
