Read on Twitter
Greetings. I’ve been part of the social experiment that is the bellarke fandom for 4 years now and I’ve never engaged in the discourse™ on twitter but now it’s coming to an end and I need to get it off my chest. A Thread.
Dear Jason, I’m glad you will be remembered as the man who had the opportunity to endorse one of the greatest relationship developments between two characters on tv and instead preferred to waste it for the ‘spite’ because apparently that’s a good sign of maturity nowadays.
You chose to piss on the biggest group of fans, eventually erasing the possibility of a fan base that would have been so supportive and would have promoted the show to a wider audience because YES, the people engaging on social media are the backbone of a show today.
It’s not Karen, a casual viewer, who would have pushed to renew your show if it had been cancelled like others (but let’s face it, there wouldn’t have been any campaign for t100 except for the one celebrating your unemployment).
Humility is one of the best qualities to possess as a human being, and clearly you didn’t get the memo as you have no notion of respect as well. To call shippers ‘dumb’ because they’re in for the relationships and not the plot is perhaps the best example of that.
How can you blame us for not giving a shit about the plot of teen show on the CW which, by the way, ultimately got worse with the years? I swear it feels like you expect people to watch your show like it’s HBO. Spoiler alert, it’s not.
We’re here for the characters that we care about and that’s why I wish you good luck (you’ll need it) with your prequel, which I remind you, will still be a teen show on the CW.
In the end, it won’t change a thing if you make bellarke canon because it won’t erase how you’ve treated the fans of your show for years.
Honestly, if you do make them canon, I hope you won’t bask in the glory and scream how all of it was genius and how you stuck the landing. Just sit down, keep quiet and drink your slurpee instead.
And if you don’t make them canon, well… it just shows how far your storytelling skills go. ANYWAYS my point is, you will be remembered as a below mediocre show runner at best. If you’re remembered at all.
Also, a huge shout out to every content creator whose work kept this fandom alive, whether it’s gifs, edits, fanfics, etc. you’re the real ones! (and you’ve been doing this for FREE lol)
End of thread. Well, that was that. I guess I’m considered as a hater now. Bye.
