#this fandom

After reading my dear bloggers' posts, the summary would be one of great disappointment caused by the absolute theatricality of everything we've seen.

Nothing is organic; everything has been so forced that it has projected an insecure, unrestrained, immature, and utterly irresponsible image. That girl doesn't deserve what she has gone through and is going through.

Interestingly, this reminds me a lot of what happened with Hawaiigate, six years ago: the angry reactions, the comments, the way all of that spilled beyond the virtual pages of the fandom and forced Sam to write that diatribe. Of course, we're not in a global health crisis now, but Sam is once again behaving with a brazenness that reveals the recklessness of his actions. Backed by companions, both physical and corporate, who don't want to let go of their golden goose and with whom he has signed a pact that will have his milking it dry until there's nothing left to extract.

The legal troubles he's facing and the bad company he keeps will only make his downfall more evident. A sad end for an increasingly tarnished image.

The series finale didn't deserve this circus, and this umpteenth attempt to manipulate the fandom, regardless of which side you're on, has been so pathetic and absurd that the evidence has prevailed over the opposing factions. You don't play with people like that, and certainly not with their intelligence.

Of course, the die-hard defenders and the troll's entourage see it all as perfectly normal and are celebrating his achievements. Honestly, I don't know what to expect from now on, after the missed opportunity with Macbeth.

The series ends in a month, and most will move on to other shows with a less toxic fandom, or will get much less involved, given the outcome of this one. I don't wish him any ill will, of course; he needs to work on his future and consider what he's losing and what he's desperately clinging to. What surrounds him doesn't help, whether it's due to his own blind ego or purely commercial interests. I suppose Starz and everyone else involved have already written this off and don't care that this last month will see the disappearance of the free promotion they were getting from a fandom that remained devoted despite everything.

Anyway, I landed here because of the books and the series, and I'll continue with my routine, lamenting the loss of wonderful bloggers and GIF creators because of these absurd stories. And I'll keep shipping just because, because I feel like it.

Take care everyone, real life is more interesting than an actor who didn't know how to handle fame.

1. The original poster told you guys she was a minor in the comment section.

2. You guys STILL kept bulling and harassing her AFTER she told you all she was a minor.

3. Your Elriel friends are still posting about her and making fun of her.

4. If you really cared about bullying you would’ve asked your Elriel friends to stop bullying a minor, but I bet money you didn’t.

5. Screenshotting someone’s post (when that person didn’t even tag Elriel), sharing their username, and then posting it publicly so all their Elriel friends can dogpile on the original poster is wrong.

6. I tagged Elriel in my original post because I wanted all of you to see it. If you guys wanna keep acting like little immature bitches (even though your grown ass adults) instead of actually doing the right thing then that’s on you.

Guys, most of my favorite characters have killed someone. You’re crying over the wrong grave.

this fandom is a prison. it’s alcatraz.

I am NAWT reading all that because it'll be my last straw before I pull a Geto 💔💔
