BTVS fandom gripe

[timepiececlock]

I have to stop reading other people's episode summaries.

I just have to... stop.

I was happy. Really, really, happy. And other people's comments are making me feel depressed, and what's more making me bad for liking the show.

Unlike a lot of you, I like this show, I like this season, and I liked the last episode.

And I don't want to be made to feel bad for actually liking my favorite show on tv.

So I'm just going to skip all the episode summaries for the next 2 weeks until it ends. Or, most of them. I'll probably break and read a few. I'm weak.

But instead I'll be commenting on icons and fic and random stuff, rather than ep response/discussion.

ETA: This is not meant to pinpoint one specific person. And see previous post where I said I :heart: you all and want to read your fic. Just not ep summaries, for another 14 or so days.

oh sweetie, I'm sorry.

It's ok. I've just decided that it's easier to be happy in my own bubble than to try and defend my happiness in other people's bubbles.

I felt the same way last season cause I lurrved it but everyone else didn't and I felt like I was stupid for liking it.

I vascilatted last year. I loved the show but hates some of the things the characters did. I only hated one episode, and loved most of the rest. Season 6 gave me some all-time favorites: Tabula Rasa, OMwF.

But honestly, I only started last year. I'm not ready to give up the fandom and I'm not jaded enough to claim I don't love every minute that it's on screen.

Plus it's then end and everyone is bitter about that.

Yeah, I can kind of see that coming out in places when people write.

Plus, I think everyone's going to be disapponted in some way, because the only way for it to disappoint no one is for it to not end.
