I think as a culture we have all forgotten that fandom is supposed to be fun.

It’s not that serious.

It was never supposed to be that serious.

Especially since most of the drama and hurt revolves around shipping.

All of the ships are fictional. Being canon doesn’t actually negate the fact that the ship isn’t real. 

No ship, or any aspect of a fictional universe, is important enough to treat another real life human being badly. 

It’s not that serious.

Hang in there.

Eventually you get to be an old fan. Occasionally the drama still reaches you, but for the most part you’re like

And you no longer feel any guilt about blocking or unfollowing. You’ve run into so many interesting things/people online over the years that you can’t keep up with even a fraction of them, unless you keep your feeds pruned.

Twelve Days of Twelve || July 27: Peter Capaldi Appreciation Day.

I was actually filming in Prague, I’m doing the BBC’s adaptation of  'The Three Musketeers’ over there, playing Cardinal Richelieu. I had my phone on silent so I missed the call. It was my dear agent. I rang her up, and said ‘It’s me’ and she said, ‘Hello Doctor.’ I just started to laugh and I haven’t stopped laughing since.

Why Once Upon a Time and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.  are heading to Fridays

Fairy tale characters meet superheroes on Fridays this fall.

Once Upon a Time and Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. have both been moved to Friday nights on ABC’s fall schedule, the network announced Tuesday morning ahead of their upfronts presentation. Check out the full schedule here.

OUAT will launch at 8 p.m. ET, followed by the debut of new super series Marvel’s Inhumans, which will run for eight episodes. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will then launch later in the fall, possibly midseason. Both Once and S.H.I.E.L.D. will still have 22 episode seasons.

“We’ve turned Friday into more of a destination for our fantasy and science fiction fans,” ABC Chief Channing Dungey told reporters Tuesday morning. “Once Upon a Time and S.H.I.E.L.D. are airing on the same night for the first time, which is giving many fans of both shows what they’ve been asking for for a long time.”

The move comes as Once Upon a Time is facing a big creative shake-up. Six cast members — including Jennifer Morrison, Ginnifer Goodwin, Josh Dallas, Rebecca Mader, Emilie de Ravin, and Jared Gilmore — have exited the series, with the show now jumping ahead a decade to focus on an adult Henry (now played by Andrew J. West) and his daughter Lucy (Alison Fernandez), as well as returning favorites Regina (Lana Parrilla), Hook (Colin O’Donoghue), and Rumple (Robert Carlyle).

“When we were looking at the schedule, it’s interesting how much pressure we’ve had from fans to put those shows closer together on the schedule for quite some time,” Dungey continued. “We like the idea of Fridays being a destination. Once Upon a Time has done a wonderful job on Sundays of keeping the lights on against football, but we’re looking to see how it will perform when it’s away from football for awhile.”

Once Upon a Time’s sixth season ended Sunday (read what’s next here and here), while Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.‘s finale airs Tuesday night. Marvel’s Inhumans will launch its first two episodes in IMAX on Sept. 1 before debuting on the network three weeks later with exclusive new content.

Translation: Both of these shows should have been canceled at the end of this season, but we’re idiots and kept them going because we’re creatively bankrupt and can’t think of anything else to fill the time with. But let’s stick them in the Friday night death slot and kill them off for sure. Maybe next year we’ll have an actual brainwave and find something worthwhile to offer our audience.

ABC, you suck.
