Missed being unhinged with @thespoonisvictory about our elaborate head canon that c!Niki, c!Schlatt and c!Wilbur all knew each other before dsmp. Miss ranting about how the three of them come off like they all had some big friendship, one we the viewer just see the remains of, that shifted toward toxicity and left one of them (Schlatt) as the bitter odd man out.

It was just such a perfect way to explain the familiarity between the three of them and Niki's just absolutely disdain from day one with Schlatt and Schlatt and Wilbur having these strange moments that implied we weren't getting all of the back story and Niki knowing Wilbur pre-canon and Schlatt acting like he had a personal grudge against her.

Ugh. I'm thinking of when cc!Wilbur said he wished he'd known the dsmp was going to take off because he would have written down pages of backstory and ideas from the start and now I just want to pick his brain for what those were.

i'm stealing someone else's meta here sorry to thespoonisvictory but:

one of wilbur's traits has ALWAYS been that he thinks he's in a story, and bound by its rules. we saw this especially in season 1, where he felt so trapped and bound by the role of the villain that he leaned into it in the midst of his mental health crisis, but also with his suicidal ideation. he hinted so many times that he would kill himself in s1, and no one really acknowledged it or pressed him on it besides saying "no youre not going to do that right bestie haha" and i think that on a certain level (aside from the very real suffering he felt) he felt that he had to follow through with that foreshadowing.

he did the same thing here. the difference is: tommy made him say it. he made him say it out loud, and then wilbur could shed the foreshadowing, could instead drop the façades that he's always been building up, and instead just talk about the truth of him: he was never a huge grand guy. he's just a kid from utah. he was a gas station attendant. and he's always been ridiculous- i mean his ghost gave out blue dye, his son is a foxboy and he's part fridge, like. he's always been a bit ridiculous and this is part of that.

he's a serious character with serious feelings who is also ridiculous, and he's absurd, and he breaks his way out of the story like he's breaking out of the truman show. he doesn't have to follow the foreshadowing. he can choose to heal and go home. he's not a villain or a hero or anything anymore. he's just a guy, a kind of ridiculous guy with serious feelings, and i.... i love that about him.

no yeah i totally agree the ridiculousness is great and very fitting for him, it’s just narratively speaking the entire Purpose of foreshadowing is so something Happens, and it’s not just something c!wilbur like… inflicts on himself? like, it’s a real element of storytelling that exists for a reason. i totally agree this silly ending is a great way to portray him breaking out of the cycle of seeing himself as a character bound to a role, that’s a lovely interpretation!!! but for me personally the interactions beforehand did not explicitly address the basic conflicts of c!wilbur’s character enough for me to feel immediately satisfied. i hope that makes sense too! ❤️

you getting push back on that post is crazy to me isn't it enough to watch and get invested in something for what it is currently rather than what it will be? I have so many unfinished projects in my own life it'd be crazy to demand polished completion from everything I watch/read. my unfinished sketches and embroidery and abandoned dnd campaigns still brought joy and growth without having a polished thing to present at the end

So what's funny to me is like. I have referenced this before here and elsewhere but like, as a child, I was SO bad at ambiguous and sad endings and my mother was like, not unkind about this, but neither did she coddle it, and I think that laid a groundwork that was really necessary.

My tags, which got lost bc I did NOT expect that post to break containment, do actually touch on how Netflix and other streaming services canceling things to avoid paying people a fair wage fucking suck but yeah here's a list of creative endeavors I participated in or watched/listened to/read that do not as of this posting have endings and I still liked, and many of them aren't even directly attributable to capitalism because this is just a fact of life and art.

As mentioned, both A Song of Ice and Fire and the Kingkiller Chronicles.

Multiple D&D campaigns for sure (I actually don't make D&D characters without a game in mind and find it weird that people do and so I'm like why am I the one arguing for the beauty of the incomplete).

Multiple fics, both mine and others.

King Falls AM, a podcast I binged in like 2018-2019 and despite being a mystery never actually completed bc the creators couldn't agree.

I think Battlestar Galactica 2003 is one of the most brilliant shows of its era and also the finale, which happened when the creators intended it to, is really dumb, and that doesn't undo the fact that I loved everything else.

How I Met Your Mother ends really poorly in a way that arguably undercuts the whole series, but like, I still liked that too.

Ditto for Chuck, which also struggles in that it was on the chopping block most seasons so they kept ending in ways that probably weren't true to whatever the original vision may have been.

I saw Firefly on DVD after it had already been canceled, I think Serenity is good but I don't love all the choices, and Joss Whedon has since been revealed to be a dick but like, I enjoyed myself greatly while watching it.

As mentioned, Heroes. I didn't watch much TV until my teens anyway because we didn't have cable and our reception sucked and we were very much a book household, and this was one of the first series I recall watching from season 1 and it's also the first TV series where I was like yeah I don't care anymore, and it went on for 4 seasons and I think I gave up either late S2 or early S3.

I didn't watch Supernatural, Game of Thrones, nor Grey's Anatomy but all of those are famous for outstaying their welcome, sometimes it's better to burn out than fade away, etc.

I had already long outgrown Harry Potter and started to see its limitations by the time Rowling's transphobia became public but like, now it's not something I would ever recommend to my friends' kids or anything, and that doesn't undo the fact that I did greatly enjoy it as a child and teenager; it was indirectly the reason why I was introduced to the superior fantasy of Diana Wynne Jones, which I do still reread from time to time. (I think the "well I never liked it" mentality about works from artists who end up being terrible people is tied into the "I can't get invested in anything that might end in an unsatisfying manner." Tumblr University's media studies grads are not the brightest stars in the firmament, that's for sure.)

Like, cancellation (let alone cancellation specifically because of the unique shittiness of streaming services) is just one of the many reason things might end in a way you dislike or become difficult for you to enjoy at a later date, and that's just talking about television. Are you really going to deny yourself the joy of anticipation and watching a story unfold in real-time because the thought of something not satisfying you at every single turn is so unfathomable?

(oh, and because this is, as we know, a CR blog much of the time, I should add that this mentality is really pervasive which is wild because your average 3-season canceled Netflix show is probably the equivalent of maybe 9-10 CR episodes; thinking about how many people who now claim C2 is terrible watched 141 episodes and also the person who is iconic to me who unironically asked me what the point was in getting invested in characters who will die re: Chetney)

Continuing from the post of "Why does Tommy just have rare weird pictures of Wilbur to post on Twitter."

Tbh, Socratic Server has this one picture of @thespoonisvictory eating a burger in the most sad way you'll ever see that we all drag back out whenever anyone is feeling down. We're all very normal here :)
