Okay, anon, I get that. I super get that . I can’t promise you it won’t happen here or in any other show you might get invested in.
But March 3rd 2016 isn’t a thing in itself, it’s not really a deliberate thing writers regularly do, reel fans in and then destroy them. It happened that time and we got hit by a whole other bunch of deaths around then too but as hard as it is to believe, it was all a coincidence. Or you could even go so far as to say that a bunch of writers influenced by the same cynical “no-pandering” homophobic and sexist Hollywood attitudes found the same targets at the same time. They wanted to kill people off (and they did, lot of white women and POC killed around that time too) and we’d just started to appear more regularly and they found us disposable. I don’t really see that attitude here?
But that’s not to say that they might not still say, oh, this is a show about death, so it’s a cool thing if it happens, in the way writers often seem to think they’re exempt from BYG no matter what new spin they put on it. The spoiler pics of the ending don’t imply that, but well, I assume that would not be particularly reassuring for a City of Light veteran
It’s just..it’s just really not going to do you any good at all to dwell on it. Drop the show or don’t, thinking on it does not make it any better. Not a single one of these deaths has ever hurt less because we thought it might happen. I don’t know if you sent this to get reassurance or to put out a warning but really, never has anything helped except to simply drop. Just wait out the last weeks?
