I have heard of this reboot, and honestly? no thoughts. head empty.

well. maybe a few thoughts...

I haven’t heard much about what the actual plot is going to be like, though I have heard rumors that Freddie is divorced and has a kid, and that bothers me in ways I can’t get past

like, of course I know that in real life, there are people who are divorced and/or have children by the age of...26?

(no, wait - Freddie’s birthday is Feb 4th, and if they’re sticking with a ‘94 birth year, he’d be 27. and yes, I know that off the top of my head; shut up)

anyway yes, there are actual real-life people who are divorced and/or have kids by 27, but I think it’s a really weird direction to take the plot with him. in the show, his ending just killed me, and I’d hate for him to have been unhappy (or mostly living with his mom!) for the past 9 years

when it comes to Sam’s actress not returning - I mean, good for her, honestly. I’ve read only a bit of what Jennette McCurdy went through during her acting career, and I’m happy that she got out and is doing her own thing now. like yes, I will miss Sam because she was a great character, but Jennette’s happiness is way more important!

also, jesus christ, people have been vicious about there being new characters? and I genuinely do not care. so what? lots of shows add new characters during a reboot/revival!

the amount of racism people were hurling at the actresses for the new characters is despicable. there’s no other way to process that - it was horrible, and nobody should ever attack people like that. I feel so bad for the new actresses! they don’t deserve this at all, and it’s horrifying.

now, all of that being said...uh. I don’t really expect much out of this show.

look, you know me - I loved the original iCarly, even though it was very stupid, had really questionable morals at times, and made almost no sense! I adore it, and it makes me happy.

so I will be watching the iCarly revival...but I don’t expect it to be as enjoyable (or anywhere near as enjoyable) as the original.

it’s not their fault - that’s just how revivals work! nothing is ever going to be as good as (or better than) the original show. it’s just impossible.

(I mean, I’m holding out hope that Leverage will be, but that’s it, y’know?)

I fully predict that the iCarly revival will be disappointing. I think it might be boring, or unfunny, or try too hard to be “relatable” to a generation that it lost touch with 9 years ago. I am prepared to heavily dislike it.

and even though the revival will technically be canon, I reserve the right to ignore it if I don’t like it. and if I ever post one of my iCarly fics that I’ve been poking at since 2017, I will take joy in tagging them as not canon compliant, because there’s no way I’d change my work to reflect whatever probably-dumb decisions the show is probably going to make.

anyway, there is a bright side to all of this: I will now get to continue thirsting over Jerry Trainor! he grew his hair out again, and it looks nice! :D

thank you for the update <3

i’m still gonna complain about it tho <3 like. i just think it’s very weird that for the first time in two years dimitri and orson are breaking the possessed pattern

:O

I don’t know if you intended to, but you imply that I’m tagging them with their name that people won’t know to blacklist, and I’m not. I’m not tagging them with anything because I’m not a spoiler-free blog.

if it’s in the trailers, if it’s officially released information pre-game release, I don’t consider it a spoiler. (if it’s a leak, I do my best to hide them under readmore cuts and tag them thoroughly)

if you do, if you’re the kind of person who avoids all officially or unofficially released info, unfollow this blog until you have the game and have reached a point that you feel comfortably unspoilable, because I do not tag pre-release official info as spoilers.

to me half of the fun of a new gen/new game is the hype, the theories, and the rumors (and the fanart of all of those things). whenever there’s a new game in the works, that becomes almost the only thing I post about, and I simply do not have the time to tag every single post I share. I barely have time to post anymore as it is. but to me, if you’re going to go the extra mile of avoiding even the things nintendo wants you to know pre-release, then that’s on you to avoid. my job is to not spoil the story or new pokemon/characters through any leaks that nintendo didn’t intend for us to know, and that is all that I do.
