i haven’t opened this account in years but i was just reminiscing today bc of 3 years of #that death and i was looking through my drafts and found this; it was my dream ending for the show that i thought of while s7 was still airing and lowkey… why did i kind of eat this up like someone should’ve put me in charge of this show 😭 the tags are so funny i was so hopeful back then HAHA. anyways i’ve barely thought about t100 in the last few years but it’s so funny to look back now and see how obsessed i was. just thought this was silly and wanted to share

someone asks me my favorite show and i have to tell them it’s supernatural, much to my chagrin.
we get to talking and they find out that i have a near encyclopedic knowledge of it. i can recite the names of the episodes in the first six seasons from memory. i didn’t even try to learn that for the worlds lamest party trick. i’ve just seen them enough that it’s floating around in my noggin. i have the dialogue for entire scenes memorized. entire episodes, even. yet again, accidentally learned from repeated watchings. i know about the actors. i’ve met the actors. i know about the cast and crew. i know timelines and theories and why this went that way. i have characters and quotes (both from the show and fanfic) tattooed on my body. one of the things i’m best know for to an audience of 370k+ online is my passion surrounding this show and its characters. this hypothetical person says “you must be a real big fan.”
and i am. i love this stupid little show that’s objectively not very good with its silly little characters that i love so much it often keeps me up at night.
and you wanna know what always surprises the hypothetical person in these hypothetical conversations that are an amalgamation of real conversations i’ve had with real people the most? it’s not how much i know about the show or what it represented to me in my adolescence or even my love for the characters.
it’s the fact that i haven’t seen the last five seasons.
that i haven’t finished the show.
i started watching in 2013 and stopped in 2015. i didn’t pick it back up again in earnest until early 2022. i’ve been rewatching since then and despite watching it literally every single day, i’ve only made it to the end of season eight in my rewatch.
there’s always some form of indignation on the other party’s behalf. and they always ask me “why? if you love it so much, why not watch all of it?”
and the answer is simple.
because i don’t want to.
i know what happens. i was online nov 5th 2020. i know how it ends. and i don’t want it to end. i don’t like the ending. so i’m not gonna make myself watch something i know is just going to make me upset.
and does that mean i’m less of a fan?
spoiler alert: the answer is “no.”
despite what other people and fans alike like to say, it doesn’t make me less of a fan. just like watching the show in its entirety doesn’t make them more of a fan.
fandom allows for flexibility of enjoyment. and that’s what i’m in fandom to do.
enjoy.
to enjoy the same thing with people who enjoy the same thing as me. to share my joy with these people.
so no. you’re not less of a fan or more of a fan for consuming media a certain way.
if you enjoy something, you’re a fan.
and if you’re a fan, there’s a place in fandom for you.

Yeah whatever man you could view the Codeflippa situation through an angst perspective, or you could see it as an opportunity for a deserving man to get a second shot at being the father he couldn't be. Sure Codeflippa isn't the original Juanaflippa but under Slime logic, she still IS a Juanaflippa. You can point out list all the reasons this 'Flippa is different from her former self sure, but isn't it awesome how no matter how much she and Slime change - her dad will always love her unconditionally. That because of Juanaflippa, she taught him love and how that love pertains to how he treats others.
Yeah man obviously Codeflippa willl never be the original Juanaflippa but Codeflippa is still Slime's daughter nonetheless, and he will raise her like the father he is.

continution of stormlight au 14, where kaladin keeps it together just a little longer:
Adolin: Storms! So both you and bridgeboy have been radiants—
Kaladin: surgebinders.
Adolin: surgebinders, this whole time? Unbelievable! Anyone else here secretly a surgebinder?
Renarin:
Shallan: I— your cousin. Jasnah. She didn't have a soulcaster. She was one.
Kaladin: Wait. I thought you said she died.
Shallan: Radiants can be killed! She had a sword through her chest!
Kaladin: I mean...I haven't tested that out specifically. But I've been shot a lot. And I was basically flayed alive. Teft nursed me back to life with a few diamond chips.
Adolin: Hah! The assassin did get you with a shardblade, didn't he? And you healed from it!
Navani: I knew it. She's impossible to kill.
Shallan: I— but I sank the boat. Oh stormfather...
Kaladin: I can also survive without breathing a while. 20 minutes easily. haven't timed my limits.
Adolin:
Shallan:
Shallan: I — wait, did you say you were flayed alive? What? Why?
Kaladin: It's — it's how the whole stormblessed title happened. Got strung up in a highstorm.
Adolin: Huh. At this point I was wondering if you got the title talking to the stormfather himself, ha!
Kaladin:
Adolin: ....Bridgeboy?
Kaladin: It. I mean during highstorms sometimes...
Adolin: I swear if you say you thought it was a hallucination I'm throwing you as far as I can. And I'm wearing plate right now.
Kaladin: It— it can't have been real.
Adolin: I'll do it bridgeboy. I know you can take it.
Kaladin: Fine. Anyway. That's how I got the stormblessed name. Sadeas ordered me outside, left upside down in a highstorm. Not fun, but I lived.
Shallan: So... she really could be alive...
Adolin: My captain of the guard, my bethrothed, and my cousin! Ha! Renarin, you'd tell me if you were a radiant — I mean a surgebinder, right?
Renarin:
Adolin: Renarin?
Renarin:
Adolin: Renarin...I...but why wouldn't you tell me?
Renarin (crying): I thought I was going mad. I was seeing things, I could hear screaming from my shardblade...
Kaladin: I hear that too!
Shallan: There's...something wrong with most shardblades.
Renarin: I thought it was...
Adolin (gripping Renarin's shoulder): Brother.
Adolin: I don't think hallucinations are real.
