#rip ofmd

I wish I could feel sad about OFMD getting cancelled and I suppose in some ways I do feel bad (fuck HBO for slashing their budget and runtime despite the crazy success of S1) but in my PERSONAL OPINION the second season did not leave me wanting more I was truly appalled at how much time out of their limited runtime was dedicated to pure fan service 😭 I love fan service but not at the cost of watering down the characters as much as they did

Jim my beloved I miss when you had like, motivations and weren’t just paired off to be in a relationship with a brand new character and forgotten about. Izzy I miss when they weren’t throwing you into an #angst fanfiction that felt like it was written by a depressed 15 y/o I miss when you were in a GOOD #angst fanfiction…Stede I wish I understood why you randomly went from being haunted by the men you’ve killed to just setting a man on fire in the street and never really acknowledging it… Edward was all over the place too their miniature breakup ‘arc’ if you could even call it that, was so underbaked me and Daniel were HOLLERING at how quickly that flew by..

the season just felt like crack fanfic for the most part and while it was beautiful in some areas it was still lacking the absolute magic they captured in s1, I know they had budget and time constraints but it’s not all that…S1 left me feeling like I had been punched in the gut (pos) and S2 just left me feeling confused and unsatisfied.. like a year ago if you told me OFMD was never going to get a season three I would have been gutted but instead I’ve been mourning this show since the day the last episode aired 😔
