Ok, I've given myself a few hours to digest and here are some thoughts... just working through my emotions and if anything registers with you great, if you disagree, that's fine too. We're in this together, but don't have to all agree. #SanditonIsSaved #WeSavedSanditon
First off, let's not forget what we have all accomplished TOGETHER! We have been through so many ups and downs together - adversity, nay-sayers, moments of hopelessness - but we have come together through it all for our beloved show #Sanditon. #SanditonIsSaved #WeSavedSanditon
That being said, I recognize that a HEA for Sidney and Charlotte was one of the main points of a second season for many, if not all of us. I am one of those people. So, the devastation of this news hits hard. There is no doubt about that. #SanditonIsSaved #WeSavedSanditon
It's a tough pill to swallow after nearly 2 years of campaigning for our fairytale ending. BUT, we can come through this all together again. Because we have formed friendships that span multiple continents & that can be our support system now. #SanditonIsSaved #WeSavedSanditon
I think it's important to recognize that we are not the only ones upset by this news. You have to imagine the original production team was hoping for their originally planned ending that Andrew D promised - a Sidlotte HEA. #SanditonIsSaved #WeSavedSanditon
So many of them have worked tirelessly for these long months to get us our continuation, so you have to know that it has to be an equal disappointment for them. #SanditonIsSaved #WeSavedSanditon
They believe in this story. They brought in our faves, Justin Y & Andrew D, who will do everything they can to make seasons 2/3 amazing. We have gotten to interact with so many BTS people on this show. We KNOW they care just as much as we do. #SanditonIsSaved #WeSavedSanditon
So, I think as fans of this show, we owe them some trust here. Are we heartbroken about Sidney not returning - absolutely. But we love the other characters/storylines, let's try not to let this take away the joy we can still get from this series. #SanditonIsSaved #WeSavedSanditon
As for Theo's decision - am I upset that he doesn't want to give his fans what they want? Yes. But, this is his career and his life. We don't know what is going on in his private life and I am trying to remind myself it's unfair to assume we do. #SanditonIsSaved #WeSavedSanditon
If I was working on a project that got canceled and then they contacted me 2 years later to try and bring me back to it, I'm not sure I'd have the time or desire to return. (This is me trying to convince myself and see his POV) #SanditonIsSaved #WeSavedSanditon
Personally, I'm excited to see Esther and Babbers marriage, Georgiana's story, and any new characters. I'm resigned to Charlotte moving on, but in my heart, I think I will always believe Sidney to be her man. #SanditonIsSaved #WeSavedSanditon
That's just me though and I will not let my inherent stubbornness stop me from checking out season 2 in 2022. #SanditonIsSaved #WeSavedSanditon
Lastly, it's natural to want to place blame. But, the studios that are working to bring this production together are doing it for us, so I think we need to show some appreciation, especially given that this was outside of their control. #SanditonIsSaved #WeSavedSanditon
This year, I'm trying to live by this quote - it helps me remember that my emotions are acceptable and telling, but they do not own me or define me. #SanditonIsSaved #WeSavedSanditon
End of stream of consciousness. If this is unhelpful, simply ignore. Thanks!
