End of an era

Jul 28, 2014 12:30

Well, having slipped out of fandom via the backdoor, I took a rather definite step and deleted the first 7 seasons of SPN episodes off my hard drive. I haven't actually watched S8 or 9 properly yet. Plus I own 1 - 7 on DVD. It was kind of sad as it is more a statement that there won't be any more fandom shenanigans from here on in. That's it, no ( Read more... )

me: sigh, me: life

Lovely to hear from you :)

Hey hun :) *huggles*

You know, it has been ages since most people around here talked fandom of any kind. So that's no reason not to stop by ;) ;)

But I hear you. I can't remember what the last episode was that I actually watched on SPN. I think even Andy has watched a whole season I haven't seen yet.

Ohh, yes, Teen Wolf. But I didn't get as much into The 100 as I thought I would and I actually dropped it :D TWD is still going strong though.

Hope to see you again soon!!!! *hugs*

Yeah, I did have that moment a long time ago now where I was rather 'miserable' I guess in real life and it had spilled into LJ life. I made it that I wouldn't post about that on here and kind of locked all my old personal posts and started hay1ock over and tried to be all about the shiny and happy and at the time that was all about the show and being involved in making stuff. I guess I still find it harder to come and talk about personal goings on on here and with Meredith having her own blog etc I am always logged in as her and she is the one on social media doing stuff lol

Anyway, I hope you're well and here are some massive hugs until the next time xx

You don't have to talk about anything you don't want to, hon *hugs* But how about 'it's raining' or 'the sun is shining' or 'I saw a pink elephant today' and see what happens? :D

I'm not doing too bad, thanks :) *hugs you tightly*

LOL - a pink elephant... interesting lol

Hey! Great to hear from you. It's always nice to know where people have gone. It certainly is an end of an era. You were one of my inspirations when I started vidding. :) Hope you do drop in from time to time.

I'm still hanging in there - believe it or not. I don't think I'll ever be able to let the show go. Even when it becomes extremely frustrating (like S8 & S9 did). But - they're just do darn cute...

*hugs*

hay1ock July 28 2014, 12:20:02 UTC

Awww *hugs* I kind of lost the plot with vidding when it got to so many seasons, hence last couple I tried were Teen Wolf and The Walking Dead - less eps to trawl through looking for what I wanted LOL

Nice to know you're sticking with SPN :) As I hadn't watched much more than the premiere of S8 I only watched 2 eps in S9... the one with Sonny and his home for tearaways lol and then the finale. So i'll probably be checking in on it to see how that goes ;) but I just can't seem to care enough to sit and watch it properly, partly to do with me and my time as well, always seem to be working at the mo :)

Seems a lot of the old names I started out with have kind of fallen along the way. I was looking through my flist and most of it's community stuff so it helps me not feel super bad that actually others are missing too.

Anyway, big hugs for ya and if there's ever another Round Robin vid from Starry that requires like 10 seconds of vidding I'll be there! LOL

*smooches*

Really sad you've given up on SPN, I haven't, I'll be with it until the end, I still cannot miss an episode. It is and forever will the only show that gets me like that, the only show that means so much to me, that has made me so many friends, I even went to the Vegas con this year and stayed with friends made through the show, they drove us miles and showed us around and took care of us and that is all due to this little show, so I can't give it up.

There are a few other shows I've enjoyed, I loved Breaking Bad and Dexter. I do watch the Walking Dead but I don't HAVE to watch it, so if I miss a few episodes I don't mind. I've never got into Teen Wolf though, but I'm glad you have some shows that you still love.

Hope to see you around now and again though.

I still plan on watching them eventually lol... but yeah the edge has gone in needing it NOW!!!! Probably more to do with me than the show. It's happened with some other shows I LOVED and then just not feeling the love and racking them up on my hard drive or on the Sky planner. I have the attention span of a gnat recently and I think things like TW, TWD and T100 there's that element of lots of unexpected death and violence LOL and very unlikely they're coming back so I can cry and mean it lol - yep that's how I roll, death and destruction ;) Same with films, sod plot and awesome acting skills, blow some shit up or have a crazy madman slashing up pretty little things and I'm there. I used to enjoy a good drama or romance... but nope. I start and just think, not in the mood for this ( ... )

Hiya! I'm right there in that same boat as you; still watching the show, though I've all but fallen out of fandom, and only lurk here nowadays. The nostalgia kicks in from time to time, but never enough to tempt me back unfortunately. :(

Also, yes.yes.yes to TWD. It's killing me that we still have to wait 2 more months. Ughhhh.

*hugs* Hope everything is good with you, too. x
