Screw canon and other matters
So that thing I was upset about last time, I found a way to cope with it. Pretend it never happens!! Yesterday after many grueling months of waiting, Aaron finally confessed his love to Jackson!! I want on a huge fangirl squee! So maybe I should stop watching now, forget the whole stupid suicide thing and pretend that the story ends happily. Things seem to be going pretty good for Jackson right now, even though he's still a moody bastard. He got a voice activated laptop so he can stay up late watching his favourite Youtube clips (I don't do that...) and he got a new wheelchair which is powered by either magic or science. I can't tell the difference.
I'd been thinking about not watching anymore beforehand. Anything in Emmerdale that doesn't depress me just bores me to tears. Also the writers somehow steal ideas from my fanfics before I've even written them. (Because clearly I was the first person in the world to think up amnesia in a soap opera).
I know that it's probably not right to just ignore the truth. But quite frankly, I have enough going on in my real life to depress me, why should the shows I watch add to that? Why shouldn't I alter the story in my head to make me happy? Writers and producers often get things wrong or get screwed by the executives or the story just doesn't turn out the way we want it to. That's the whole reason fanfiction exists. I know that Merlin and Arthur don't really want to jump each other's bones, but it's just nice to think about. Of course there are some people who are sure that the subtext isn't subtext at all, but whatever works for them I guess.
Tomorrow is the play! Eeee! I'm so excited I haven't sat still all day! I think vicky_v knows literally everything that's happening in the country. I'm starting to wander if we're crossing over into full blown stalker territory.
I must now go and see how Emmerdale will depress me further. Please let there be a kiss...
