I know it's probably illogical and most likely somewhat of a trauma response from Disney's Willow betrayal but I don't think I can keep Netflix if they cancel Shadow and Bone/Six of Crows.
Netflix has already canceled so many series that were unique and important to people in terms of diversity and representation. They have been especially bad about canceling series with Lesbian representation. The erasure of Tamar and Nadia would be another example of that. SAB is also one of the few fantasy series with a WOC lead. And while the actor portraying him is not (as far as I know), Kaz is a character with a disability that is not treated as a liability or a victim. As I pointed out in my Willow posts, it's rare to see this type of inclusion in fantasy series without it seeming forced or false.
While these things alone do not necessarily make a series worthy of continuation, fans have proven time and again that there is a growing interest in this series. This is largely due to the amazing cast and their continuous support of and friendships with one another. The found family dynamic they display both on and off camera creates a richer viewing experience not just in the series but their interviews and appearances around it.
Added to all of that, the story changes mean the cliffhangers of season two would go largely unexplained even to book readers. Considering that the books' author is a producer on the series this leads me to worry about Netflix's ability to deliver complete and cohesive stories that they adapt.
To me that shows that series like Bridgerton, or even One Piece could be treated just as callously in regards to any canon divergences and completion of the story.
I genuinely hope my worries will be unnecessary and the series will continue. Shadow and Bone has not yet been canceled but it has also not been renewed and as we near the eight month mark with no news I can't help but speculate. I realize that it has not been long since the end of the WGA strike and the SAG strike is ongoing, but in that time Netflix has renewed and released updates on several other series so it is unlikely that would be the only reason for the delay.
I still look forward to the success of SAG and hope answers swiftly follow. In this time of price spikes and story erasures, I cannot continue to financially support any service that seems blatantly discriminatory. When fans are begging daily for a series to return and continuously ignored I can't see it as anything else.

Aleksander, elbowing Nikolai at 3am: Move over, sobachka.
Aleksander: Niko.
Aleksander, nudging him again: You're on my side.
Nikolai, half-asleep, rolling over to throw an arm over him and snuggle: Always.
Aleksander, gone just a little bit glassy-eyed: [darkling.exe has stopped working]

And then, she woke up

Ch. 3 Dreams are dangerous things. [Masterlist] Previous - Next
It's not a peaceful night. You keep turning and tossing in your bed. The ball has long finished, there's only silence outside your window, and the light of the full moon quietly shining.
You don't dare to get up and answer the call. You already did it a million times, behind the curtains.
Instead, you close your eyes and beg for sleep to swallow you whole.
But then, you dream. And in your dreams, he's there.
He's wearing a black robe and has a restless look on his face. He seems surprised to see you.
You think nothing, it's just a dream, that's the good thing of dreaming.
"You are a very rude, impudent, disrespectful man" you say. How you wished you had told him at the ball. It feels good to tell him, now.
"You think so?" he asks.
"I do".
You are in a corner now, how could it happen? And he's towering over you. He's too close. Blood runs to your face.
"Who are you?" He asks.
"You are becoming quite repetitive, General".
His hand is on your neck. This is not what you expected, even in a dream. You hold your breath.
But suddenly you feel yourself giving in. You fall in his embrace, welcome the warmth of his arms, and let a sigh flee from your lips.
Dreams are nonsense. This is what you'll think once you wake up. Absolute nonsense. Why should you fall for this powerful Grisha general, probably the most dangerous man in Ravka, the one you should definitely avoid, for many reasons starting with the full moon you just tried to ignore?
But in the dream he is kissing you like he knew you from a previous lifetime. He is cupping your face with his hands, pressing you against his chest, and you've never felt this safe in your whole life.
You want more. It's a dream, you can get more and there will be no consequences. He definitely wants the same, as he's kissing your neck now, hungry as a wolf.
But dreams end.
When you wake up, you are shining more than the full moon in the night sky. You hide under the covers, but it takes a while for the glow to fade. And you keep thinking of him for the rest of the night, like you have two secrets, now, instead of one.

PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION TO SAVE SHADOW AND BONE!
Hey, so if you haven’t seen Netflix has canceled Shadow and Bone. But we fought so hard for this show, we can’t stop fighting now.
PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION TO SAVE SHADOW AND BONE:
Look, even if this doesn’t work at least we’ll know that we’ve done all we can.
Why this show is important:
I can’t speak to how people in other minorities feel about this show so I will leave it to the more qualified. I can’t even speak to other disabled people, there is such a wide range of us. But for me, the Crows were the first time I saw/read disabled characters actively involved in the action rather than just the passive mentors; the smart ones. Finally, the narrative I grew up with as a disabled child that I had to ‘make up’ for my disability by being exceptionally intelligent was dispelled. Stories like these need to be available to people younger than I was when I first read the book because by then the message of ‘making up for disability’ was truly internalized. Not that it didn’t help me too. Of course, we still have the books but it is undeniable that TV has a wider range of influence as media than books. And obviously the presence of three disabled characters as protagonists is considerable. We need to save the show not only because it is good but so disabled kids have representation outside old characters or Disney villains.
Like I said I can only speak to my interpretation through my lens as a disabled person so comment down below if you want.
Also this show was different and I’m tired of Netflix canceling any show that doesn’t fit their cookie cutter Riverdale model. We really need to make them realize it won’t make them money.

Thank you so much for reblogging that Ben Barnes gifset, I have been staring at it for a solid 5 minutes and now I'm drooling 😭😂
(he is to me what wet Éomer is to you?)
Tumblr media
Ooooh girl, I have LOVED Ben Barnes since his Prince Caspian days and followed him to The Punisher then to Shadow and Bone! (Haven't had the chance to mourn the cancellation cause I haven't watched S2 yet!, but booooo!)
Ben was my go-to fancast for my male OCs before Henry Cavill came along. Besides the rest of his amazing looks, those haunting EYES totally make a case for the superiority of dark eyes over blue/green.
So yeah, even though he's been surpassed by other blorbos over the years, I still love him and can totally relate to the staring and drooling. XD
