(and also kind of emotionally motivated by my struggles to try and get So Help Me Todd saved #savesohelpmetodd #renewsohelpmetodd)

"Rage" is the thing with fire

That's burning deep inside

When justice needs a little push

Or rules need be defied

And though it may not seem like much

When only from one voice

The rage of many joined as one

Can shout above the noise

The fire must be kept alight

And do not stop the song

For it's a call to set things right

Maybe that's why I'm both having such weird feelings about The Librarians (from anxiety about some of the potential implications from the spinoff trailer to guilt over taking a break from the fandom even though it was necessary for my mental health) and trying to project from the fantastical subtext (whether or not it's a Librarians AU or crossover as why The Librarians works so well with things is it handles all kinds of fantastical shit as opposed to Warehouse 13 only dealing with Artifacts, Grimm only dealing with Wesen and Supernatural only dealing with stuff either biblical or classic-monster-or-American-cryptid-y) of Brilliant Minds, Tracker (though doesn't that have implied-canon both fantasy and sci-fi stuff as in S2E2 we don't know what the brothers saw wasn't a UFO and in S2E5 that teen witch healer chick saved the life of both Colter and the dad of the guys who kidnapped her), So Help Me Todd (as I'm still fighting for that #savesohelpmetodd) and Elsbeth.

Some explanations

my theory of the Tonys having anti-teen bias is evidenced by snubs of various kinds for shows like Starmites, The Lightning Thief and Be More Chill and Dear Evan Hansen only swept imho despite this because (despite how its own movie would end up turning out) it's kinda the Broadway equivalent of an Oscarbait movie

the thing about changing the HP-related things' names is e.g. the only reason the irl quidditch league or w/e should have changed the sport name to quadball is the adjustment needed for Muggles to play and since in concept and using-house-symbols the sortinghatchats system still shows its HP influence, it shouldn't have dropped house labels

what I mean about the Eureka thing is that I have a theory that due to things like when Eureka was founded, the kind of people it attracts and the endogamy implied by its secrecy, not a lot of people in town know much of anything about Aspergers/"high-functioning" autism/"low-support" autism despite how many people in town would probably test as having it so only a case of autism as severe as pre-time-jump Kevin would register to most Eurekans as autism (and he didn't get cured he just got higher-functioning/lower-support, still doesn't explain how a timeline jump changed that though)

So part 1 of a documentary on the whole SHMT sitch just dropped, watch and spread it to spread the message as A. I still believe just because Scott Prendergast may be working on another show doesn't mean we still can't fight for this one to come back (and my ideal scenario would be through a Leverage: Redemption crossover with Margaret as the kind of client that'd draw the team back to Portland (and Todd etc. getting in on the con as if Sophie need more neuroweird cats to herd) bonus points if the Watsonian reason why some of the grifting would be infiltrating various points of the legal system is because she knows Harry so he could just be himself but being another kind of lawyer or w/e) as long as so many years don't pass that the actors age out of believability in their roles (as shows have taken long gaps between seasons before as well as retooled themselves with slightly changed titles (so maybe we could sneak a comeback in in a way that makes them think spinoff like how S3 of The Orville was called The Orville: New Horizons)) and B. either way regardless of what happens with SHMT no other show deserves the same fate as it currently has

Yeah I saw Scott Prendergast's Insta I just wasn't sure how to take that message as I couldn't tell if he was just accepting he had to work on something else because he needed a job or if he'd truly given up (esp. as the latter would mean some part of the message inadvertently as if his ability to imagine the story he'd planned and keep the characters alive in his mind or w/e means he's okay with not doing the show when I didn't think him saying "one way or another, all So Help Me Todd stories will be told" referred to his daydreams any more than it referred to that goddamn article) and I did have some crazy ideas for how to build support if it could come-back-but-take-a-few-years, from him writing the story down in books and then bringing the show back now "based on the best-selling books" to including stealth-implied-crossovers in other CBS shows to make it a franchise
