Thanks Lauren for doing this for me! I appreciate it! Okay, so I just feel nothing but heartache for Michael. I don't know what else to call it. Jan seemed, to me, so different. I don't know what it was. I mean, she really DID do and say a lot of hurtful things, but I dont know, something still didn't seem right to me. I did however find her to be a good mother.
The writers are making it hard for me (as well as many others) to even THINK about writing fics about these two, let alone keep up with community. There are so many people that are getting off this ship and I really HATE to admit that I don't blame them. I've always supported MJ but tonight? I don't know if Jan really can ever revive herself.
I LOVED Michael and Holly at the end, though. Just absolutely LOVED it!!! It was so sweet and cute and GOOD FOR HIM!!! Why does he have any reason to listen to Jan?
i just want to add, in response to your post, it makes me really sad to get off the m/j ship. for one thing, they are the ONLY ship i've been on for any couple on any show, so i'm disappointed that i dont really have any couple or storyline to cheer for anymore, no show to look forward to whose storyline i'm invested in (i really dont watch that much tv).
i never thought i'd get off this ship but the writers have been so insultingly reckless with their writing for jan and it's not the character that i know and love, and watching jan now just makes me sad. plus, seeing what the writers have done to jan makes me respect all of the other storylines much less too - i can't explain it exactly, but i guess i'm so bitter at them for ruining my favorite character that i dont want to enjoy anything they do anymore. yes im bitter! damn right.
i think that would make it worse at this point. if he is the father, for one thing, it's completely unforgivable not to include him at all in the birth.
See? This is sooo hard. I will always love Michael and Jan. Always. But maybe its just good right now that Michael is with Holly. I love those two, too! Its hard cuz I want Michael and Jan together, but I want the Jan we saw in 'Money'. Sure, she's done crazy things before, but I love hearing about her family. I loved seeing her vurlnerable side like that. We just need some more explanation. That's all.
I like your way of thinking. Imagine that? The only thing is I think I'd find it hard to believe Jan (unless a paternity test was given) considering how sketchy she's become.
I hear ya! MJ's the only couple that I root for too! Not that there really is that much to root for anymore, but I also don't watch too much TV, so when I am invested in a TV couple, I'm really invested, you know? What I do to help is watch the season 2 and season 3 episodes of MJ together. It kinda helps. It doesn't really make you happier for how they are today, but it just brings back great memories. I'm just finding it extremely difficult to write fics about them. And I LOVE writing fics.
You know what we should all do? Am I'm being completely serious about this...you know how on Officetally they always have a Q and A? Well we should all sorta GANG up on the writers with innocent questions like 'Will we find out reasons as to WHY Jan is the way that she is?' or 'We want the other Jan back!' or 'What makes Jan so funny? Us Michael and Jan fans are disappointed.' You know? Questions like that? Maybe if they hear a little of what MJ fans think, they'll think about things a little more. What do you think?
I was thinking that we should write a letter to the writers stating how we feel about M/J and their poor writing of Jan. Perhaps if we all sign it, they will maybe listen. They probably only hear from JAM people.
I've been doing that and I'd love the company. It's hard to be heard over the Holly love. I'd encourage whoever still cares to make your feelings known. There's virtually no MJ presence on OT, and it might actually mean something if there was.
I really think like you do about OT, 'cause there it's all about OMGG JAM ARE THE CUTEST COUPLE EVER THEIR SOOO PERFECT AND CUTE and all of that shit While here it's more like Ah, jam. Big deal.. We love our dysfunctional season2MJ! (while season 4/5 dysfunction is painful to watch)
I really miss season 2 a lot. I wish it could last forever...
Yeah. I look at your avi and think... somewhere along the line someone realized Jan was much more as a character... she actually loves Michael and she and Michael really work in their own way. Then someone forgot, and that bums me out to no end.
Anyone else find it odd that both Carol and Holly have a Jan look to them? long layered blonde hair, business suits... Either Michael has a definite type or its all about Jan. Or it means nothing at all. LOL
