but its important
Respectfully, we’re f—ing tired. A TV show’s audience isn’t going to grow in billions overnight, and especially in the year of our Lord 2024, when viewers know that networks and streamers are notorious for canceling. Prime Video’s My Lady Jane cancelation also comes as a complete shock when the show gained a steady viewership from its first weekend, favorable reviews from critics, and is still trending on social media with a steady buzz from fandoms.
The cancelation also doesn’t factor in the fact that the show was released right before the Summer Olympics, which means now that the games are over, people are only just beginning to watch other content. For years, executives have failed to understand the enormous power that fandoms hold, and half of that comes from building trust between them. One simply needs to look through the thousands of quote tweets on Twitter’s announcement to see how many people comment something along the lines of “See, this is why I don’t start new shows until I know they’re renewed.” People are jaded, and rightfully so, as the trust between big networks and fans continues to fracture.

Harry Potter au where Neville’s the chosen one and Dean and Seamus are his sidekicks who fall in love
I want to write an alternative version of Romeo and Juliet where instead of being a little ponce and trying to work things out for himself, Romeo asks his smarter friends what to do about the whole thing and Benvolio and Mercutio come up with the world’s greatest plan:
Marriage of convenience between Juliet and Mercutio.
Think about it.
Juliet’s parents want her to marry into the Prince’s family. Mercutio is a good compromise between no marriage and Paris.
Mercutio probably won’t get his inheritance if he keeps being HELLA FUCKING GAY ALL OVER THE PLACE so a beard is only a benefit to him.
They would probably get along great rolling their eyes at how adorably stupid Romeo is.
Romeo and Benvolio could get a “bachelor pad” right next to Juliet and Mercutio’s house. Every night, Romeo and Mercutio high five as they hop the fence to go bang their one true love.
The second half of the play is just all of them trying to keep up the charade and being “THIS CLOSE” to getting caught all the time. But everything ends nicely because true love conquers all.
Everybody wins. Nobody dies.
I FOUND IT GUYS I SPENT HALF AN HOUR LOOKING FOR THIS VIDEO AND ITS HERE
Me after season 4 of Voltron:
- you’re gay - can read - support gay people - want to hold a match between your fingers as you wander the halls of an ancient castle because it’s your only source of light amidst the ghosts of people long past - are an antelope - or want a chocolate bar.
No one will know which applies.
He’s a warrior, a child of Hades, Ambassador of Pluto, the Ghost King, one of the most powerful demigods in the camps. He’s known war and darkness. He’s known withering away, surviving on pomegranate seeds. He’s seen Hell, literally. He grew up in a time where his feelings for another boy would be called disgusting. He only had his sister and then he lost her too. He has known Death.
On the other hand, he’s a 15 year old boy with a little sister and an annoying step-mother and a pet dog. He gets flustered around the handsome medic with golden hair and blue eyes. He plays in two-legged races and carries around a ticket dispenser so people can punch a long lost friend in the arm. He gets jealous when his boyfriend looks at someone else and reassures people that they are needed, right here and right now.
Because despite all he’s been through and all he’s done, Nico di Angelo is still just a teenager. A boy. A demigod.
If you watched the Olympics and loved it then you should 100% watch the Paralympics because it's just as great and in some cases the sports are even more insane than the Olympics (looking at you Wheelchair Rugby, affectionately also known as Murder Ball).
This year the Paralympics will be available to watch in over 160 countries on the Paralympic Games YouTube channel for the first time ever. And on the Paralympics website there's a full list of the official broadcasters for each country.
Root for your athletes, of pick a random country and root for them, the most important thing is ensuring that disability sport gets the showcase it deserves
