now that dsmp season 1 has ended, are you gonna keep watching season 2?
ah i'm pretty sure the other members have more plot/lore/episodes planned before the end of volume 1, it's only wilbur's character's finale that's done. so there's still a bit of content planned for volume 1.
and to be honest, i probably won't keep up with volume 2. at least not in the way that i did for volume 1. regardless of criticisms people have about wilbur's finale, i think the fact that it Exists and was Released gave me the final bit of closure i needed to put the dsmp's content officially behind me. my life looks completely different now than it did two years ago, so i simply don't have the time or intense interest anymore. and i genuinely find it more fun to engage with the fan community we've built and the people i've met along the way than to spend hours and hours watching streams. im just here vibing in the garden i helped grow.
hope that's not too disappointing. tho i'm pretty sure no one here is following me for my dsmp content anyways loll

Not the gatekeeping in the doctor who fandom,,,,, shocker,,,, the fandom that regularly argued over whether your fave doctor is the right one and if you're a real fan of you haven't watched old who or at least 9,,,,, wow,,,, nooooo,,,,
Tl;dr: dont be assholes to people who are fans of things in the way they personally want to be a fan.

After seeing all your reblogs and reading the tags, I'm now low-key obsessed with the guys from H50 having only seen an episode casually on TV. Do you recommend it as a show?
hmmm, that's a tough question, nonnie, cause on the one hand, as a shipper I always want to drag more people down with me (mwahaha) but, on the other, I don't want to give the show a tacit endorsement. it's very much a cop show, and with a serious case of police brutality at that, so i feel like that's something I have to warn about. also, it's very much a CBS procedural so it's plot-driven rather than character driven and the plots occasionally reflect a lot of the anxieties of CBS target audience of people over 65, lol. the bad guys are Bad, sometimes cartoonishly so, no room for nuance, it all feels very 80s b action movies. don't even get me started on the show's treatment of female characters. and queer people pretty much Do Not Exist (but that's something that can be said about many procedurals)
that's not to say the show has nothing to offer, if you enjoy whodunnits and action and team banter and distractingly beautiful people and gorgeous scenery. the setting is the reason I watched the show in the first place, because sometimes you really want to watch something set in perpetual summer (especially when you are from the land with no sun like I am lol).
if you just want to turn your brain off and be entertained h50 can definitely do that for you, it took me a few eps but by mid s1 I got really into it and I was having FUN, which, imo, is important. I didn't start shipping right away but 1x20 had me reaching for the Tumblr tags and fanfic.
it's not strictly necessary to watch the show to enjoy the ship but personally I have always found that the shippy breadcrumbs are more enjoyable in context. especially since McDanno is woven into the fabric of the show.
ultimately, it's up to you whether or not to watch the show, I just thought I'd help you make an informed decision. i do believe a show doesn't have to be good to be enjoyable but I am absolutely the kind of person who will watch an entire show just for a ship myself, lol.
if you do decide to watch it you can come talk to me about McDanno any time, they are pretty much all I wanna talk about anyway, the brainrot is real.
