Of the 19 hijackers who carried out the Sept 11 attacks:
15 were from Saudi Arabia (a powerful/oil-rich country the U.S. works hard to maintain diplomatic relations with)
2 were from the United Arab Emirates (also a powerful/oil-rich country the U.S. works hard to maintain diplomatic relations with)
1 was from Egypt, 1 from Lebanon.
None of the hijackers were from Iraq.
None of the Sept 11 hijackers were Iraqi.
None of the 9/11 hijackers were from Iraq.

I've heard what's happened and I'm heartbroken that there are leaks, and that they happened like this. If you want to remain GO2 unspoiled I'd strongly suggest avoiding any places or tags that leaks happen or just staying far away from the internet until July 28th.

Regulus: Three words, say them and I'm yours.
James: Three words.
Regulus, unbuttoning his shirt: Fuck, you're so stupid.

Perhaps I'm just uncultured, but why has no one ever done Sirius finding out about jegulus because he's been sneaking visits with Reg as Padfoot?? Like Sirius is just laying there in animagus form with his head on Reg's lap while he does his homework, and Reg has no idea, and James is sneaking over to say hi and ask if they're still on for tonight, and he and Padfoot just lock eyes

what really makes me sad about the cancellation of lockwood and co is that there is so much we will never get to see. so many amazing moments, cases, storylines, plots. so many quips from the skull, and locklyle moments. so many shots of a very exasperated barnes. whole character archs that will never be fleshed out, never even discovered for so many — like quill and flo. lockwood’s backstory, george’s hilarity, lucys growth. whole characters we will never get to meet on screen, jessica, don, celia, holly. the problems source will never be uncovered on screen, we will never see jessica’s room, we will never get to watch the iconic empty grave final showdown. the venture to the other side. penelope fittes and marissa revealed.
so many amazing moments, so many amazing characters and scenes and archs and plot lines and dialogue and details. there is so much we have lost and i think we all have a right to be sad, and even heartbroken and devastated over this.
oh yeah we also all definitely have the right to be pissed off at netflix.

I think it's amazing seeing the support for lockwood and co from tumblr users who haven't seen the show but who understand what we're going through and who are pissed that netflix fucked over another fandom

Calling all Lockwood and Co fans!!
To show our support for Jonathan Stroud, Complete Fiction, Ruby, Ali, and Cameron we are joining together for a massive group watch of the show from May 20th-21st.
Our goal is to get Lockwood and Co back on Netlix’s Top 10 list and get the attention of other streaming companies who could pick the show up.
We’re asking for your help to spread the word and join in on our group watch!! If you’re unable to watch, we encourage you to put the show on in the background or encourage friends who haven’t seen it to join in!
Like our Iron Trio, we’re a team that is stronger together!
(For people who don't have Netflix, specific information on ways to participate coming soon)

Being a fan of a show should not be this exhausting. We should not have to rewatch a show 10 times, tweet about it 100 times, etc. as if we're to blame when it doesn't reach some undefinable standard of "acceptable numbers." I'm so tired of shows being canceled and numbers being to blame when platforms promo a bit around release and then let the show flounder. There's no way that's a sustainable business method! You're banking on what, the rare occasion where a show becomes the latest trend? And even when people pull the data for these shows, it's not bad. That's with minimal effort put toward promo. If they put in more effort, imagine how much higher those "not bad" numbers would be. They're going quantity over quality, and even when there's quality within that pool, they don't bother to recognize the potential for success and the fact that success can grow over time. When shows would run for multiple seasons, you could get away with an okay first season as some shows take time to find their footing and audience. The average show is probably not the next stranger things. But we're losing so many good stories from talented teams by expecting every show to do the unimaginable all on its own. The binging model makes it even worse, as the unimaginable is also supposed to happen within a short amount of time (release week). It doesn't make sense to me to have teams put 1-2 years of hard work into creating something only to throw it into the crowd and give it a week to succeed. I know I'm not the only one who has said "hey, that show looks cool" and before I could even start it, the show was canceled. That encourages people to NOT watch anything new, as what's the point if it's going to be canceled? So completely missing the point of the problem at hand, platforms go and make another.

This is so freaking ridiculous lockwood had so many hard core fans who begged for this and for what so bridgerton and outer banks could get a new freaking season don't get me wrong I love outer banks but I'd trade that show for another season of lockwood and co in a heartbeat ALL THEY NEEDED WAS ONE MORE SEASON
Idk but I'm not giving up hope I wanna continue to scream at Netflix until they redo this honestly or at least hope that CF goes somewhere else to produce it cause I need more and am angry as all heck

It isn’t even that I wasn’t expecting them to cancel the show. I knew it was going to happen. I’d suspected it even before the show dropped and the long silence following its release was confirmation enough. Add to that the lack of promo they did for it. But it infuriates me that other shows that are much less well-done and get torn apart by audience and reviewers alike get several seasons more just because people watch them to shit-talk them. Are we really going to base the worthiness of visual media on the number of views and ignore how well received they are? That’s how you end up with thousands of movies and shows that look the same, are low quality and supposed to appeal to wide audiences and are afraid to stray from the well-trodden paths- because that’s currently a guarantee to cancellation by big corporations like Netflix that see nothing but money, money and more money. If our money that goes to streaming services is used to basically produce the same movies over and over then maybe it is time to take away the one thing they do care about (which isn’t art or cinematography or, although they like to make people believe it, the viewer) but the cash they make with the hours of content we consume. I only subscribed to support an author and a show I thought worthy of my money. I sure as hell won’t stick around now.
