#this is regarding

i get why y’all are upset but i think freaking out like that is a bit too much and kinda toxic both to yourself and to your surroundings, you’re just making yourself more and more upset and all these panicky posts affect people who didn’t pay that much attention to the spoilers at first (see: me, a dedicated shipper, saw the spoiler and thought “wow that’s not what i’d like to see but it’s an interesting move, i wonder what the plan is. i hope it will at least lift carol’s mood a little, she needs to stop beating herself up over everything all the time” and shrugged; then checked tumblr, scrolled through dash and literally ended up throwing up from sudden anxiety lmao @ myself i can’t deal with negativity at all)

while i do admit that the writers screw up at times it seems a bit unfair to me that everyone is up in arms, complaining about what bad writing it is and how it makes no sense etc and generally acting as it was The Last Episode Of The Show, there is No Chance Of Any Further Development, this is the end and how it will always be, like...listen...friends.......did you consider........they may actually know what they’re doing.............

what i mean is that they’re professionals and generally if they hint at something (and they’ve been hinting at c/d pretty again) they go through with it ffs this season has been p good so far and while they do weird stuff sometimes they usually don’t pull serious relationships out of their asses with no build up whatsoever

and this may be a means to an end. an impulse for daryl to finally get his ass together and fight for her. a chance for carol to realize that people don’t see her as the monster she thinks she is. idk man it can be many things, and people are acting like it’s the end of the world

also didn’t richonne happen like 3 episodes after rick made out with jessie and the reaction of the fandom was p much the same lmao 

also do you know how many kisses ive had that were ‘sweet and romantic’ but meant essentially nothing. sometimes a kiss is just a kiss

this got chaotic i didn’t want it to be chaotic

ANYWAYS

TLDR

what i’m getting at basically is that y’all were so pissed at TD for freaking out over things and now you’re acting the same when all we have is an out of context spoiler and you’re ending up being harmful to yourselves. and perhaps you should try giving the writers the benefit of doubt cause with hindsight they generally seem to know what they’re doing? they’re exceptions but ffs y’all keep watching the show for some reason don’t you

i guess i just want to say that perhaps you’re overreacting a bit?

i know i sure did

i’m so sorry if this post seems rude

this isn’t directed at anyone in particular it’s just my response to the fandom’s general response

also i’d really appreciate if no one sent me messages like ‘well you’re in for a disappointment’ cause believe me, i do take that possibility into account but a) i’ve spent the better part of my life being a pessimistic little shit and for once i’d like not to be, and b) i have a tendency to pick ships that don’t go canon or if they do they end up being completely screwed over by the writers (cough mulder and scully cough) (cough the entire season 2 of twin peaks cough) so trust me i’m used to it lmao. but i really think it’s too early to be sad now

i just needed to get these thoughts out. i am cleansed. i feel better now lmao
