I am a fandom grandma and in my 20 + years of fandom I have never seen a fandom determined to be as miserable as this one.

Never.

Like their couple is happy and together and living their best life facing lots of things as a couple where 1 month ago they were miserable sods who were just sort of walking through life…

And it isn’t enough? Or there isn’t enough of it when there was NOTHING for like 7 months?

Like

Oh dear did I speak to soon when I said I was back? Is everyone really still miserable? Why want we all just embrace the fact that our boys are back together after going through he'll?

*waves* so I’m kind of back, I think, maybe, I don’t know. I haven’t stopped watching the show and reading fic, and thinking about my boys every damn day I just needed to take a break from Tumblr for a while because it got really unhealthy there for a while. I just couldn’t deal with all the negativity. So yeah, if you follow me and wonder where i’ve been the last 6-9 months? I just needed to leave for a while but I’m being drawn back in. I mean we all know how I feel about Roblivion and there better be some good Roblivion stuff coming up.

Ryan Hawley has no obligation to go to an awards ceremony. It wasn’t as if it was a fan event where fans could have met him and it’s not like he was nominated at all. Ryan, if you haven’t noticed, is painfully shy. I don’t say this as a cute ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh thing. My BFF is like that. It comes riddled with anxiety. She has to force herself to be anywhere with big crowds. Ryan is the same.

Look at the game a few weeks back. He came out to support Danny, do the interview, and be on the field when they needed moral support but otherwise he stayed hidden. He was completely overwhelmed by the crowds and looked exhausted by the end of the whole thing.

It is not his bag of tea. He does what he needs to and is always such a love but it is obviously really hard for him. Danny, if you haven’t noticed, is always super protective of him and I think it’s cause of that.

On top of all that, I would stay the hell away from the media right now too because I sure as hell wouldn’t want to answer or deal with questions about this story when clearly he doesn’t agree with it, going by his sly non-answers of the recent past.

Lastly, who the hell says he didn’t have an actual family engagement? Because his wife and him were being silly on Instagram? Maybe they’d already gone, maybe they hadn’t yet. Maybe Danny was being a good friend and just giving a nice excuse.

The point is that he does not owe anyone anything. He does an amazing job with his character, he supports the show and never says one negative thing and when we see him he is an amazing ray of sunshine. That is all you can ask of him.

Guys, I realise most of you are US based and don’t realise this, but the next General Election in the UK will decide what we as a country want out of our system. 

We literally have the most left wing manifesto out of the labour party we’ve seen in years - they’re finally not just a centrist, almost policy for policy but slightly more left version of the tories. 

However, right-wing media is attempting to destroy our left wing leader. They’re smearing him left, right and centre. Hopelessly trying to make him out to be an ‘incapable leader’, as though ANY of the leaders we’ve had in the past few decades were the most respectable of people. 

Our right wing leader is essentially Cruella De Vil down to wanting to lift the ban on fox hunting. 

Can we talk about this more as a site?

You all blogged for Trump vs Clinton. Now can we pay attention to the rise of the right wing else where? Our left wing is promising nationalisation, free education and taxing the rich to fill our gaps but people still want to vote Tory despite them looking to privatise our health care, rip it to shreds first by giving their friends jobs in management and toss our education system up in the air. All because 1) Not enough people are voting and 2) the right wing is playing dirty tricks. 

What happens in our General Election decides how the UK interacts with Trump. Currently, Theresa is a loyal lap dog without a back bone to speak of. Be aware that politics in other countries exists.

This is all very true and very important, but can I point something out? Theresa May and the Tory party as a whole are the most right-wing government we’ve seen for a long time. This isn’t just about caricatures and fox-hunting. Yes, she’s a twat, and yes she wants to bring back fox hunting.

But more importantly:

This government has taken away disability benefits and replaced them with a new scheme that is absolute pittance, they increased the national debt, and have continued to de-fund and sell off parts of the NHS. They want to scrap free school lunches for impoverished children, privatise the NHS, reduce the winter fuel allowance for pensioners, tighten border control and immigration, fund more grammar schools, not to mention what has now been dubbed as the “dementia tax” where millions of elderly people and their families are essentially getting financially penalized for living longer while unwell. They are promising to CUT corporation tax, which is already lower in Britain than most other countries in Europe, meaning that all these multi-billion dollar corporations have to pay even LESS than before, and want foreign workers and international students to pay more for their healthcare while over here, as well as to increase defense spending.

Quotes from the actual, literal, official Tory manifesto:

“Some people say that it is not for government to regulate when it comes to technology and the internet… We disagree.”
“While we cannot create this framework alone, it is for government, not private companies, to protect the security of people and ensure the fairness of the rules by which people and businesses abide… Nor do we agree that the risks of such an approach outweigh the potential benefits.”

And from The Independent article:

The manifesto also proposes that internet companies will have to pay a levy, like the one currently paid by gambling firms. Just like with gambling, that money will be used to pay for advertising schemes to tell people about the dangers of the internet, in particular being used to “support awareness and preventative activity to counter internet harms”, according to the manifesto.
The Conservatives will also seek to regulate the kind of news that is posted online and how companies are paid for it. If elected, Theresa May will “take steps to protect the reliability and objectivity of information that is essential to our democracy” – and crack down on Facebook and Google to ensure that news companies get enough advertising money.
If internet companies refuse to comply with the rulings – a suggestion that some have already made about the powers in the Investigatory Powers Act – then there will be a strict and strong set of ways to punish them.
“We will introduce a sanctions regime to ensure compliance, giving regulators the ability to fine or prosecute those companies that fail in their legal duties, and to order the removal of content where it clearly breaches UK law,” the manifesto reads.

Honestly, this shit is terrifying.

Yes, she wants to bring back fox hunting. But she also wants to do a hell of a lot more much more harmful things than that. This government could be worse than Thatchers. She will make life miserable for the working class, the disabled, migrants, and other minorities.

So talk about it. And get your ass down to polling stations or organise your postal vote. Please, for the sake of everyone vulnerable in this country - VOTE.

Muricans, if you have UK followers (or if your followers have UK followers) help educate them on their vote. We need help.

Week 24

Thursday June 15th — 7pm

Aaron puts off a plan he’s made with Robert in favour of spending time with Adam.
Pregnant Rebecca returns to the village with news that she’s there to stay and will be crashing at Victoria’s place.

Thursday June 15th — 8pm

Having got things back on track following the baby bombshell, Robert and Aaron are thrown when they see that pregnant Rebecca, who slept with Robert while Aaron was in prison, has returned to the village.

Friday June 16th

Robert confronts Ross demanding he pay back the money he blackmailed from him, and vows to get revenge.

“Pregnant Rebecca, who slept with Robert while Aaron was in prison” NOT “Rebecca, who is pregnant with Robert’s child”.

Fetch me my tinfoil hat; I’m back on board with the theory!

That is very strange wording if there’s nothing more to it.

Hmm, definitely something fishy in that wording there. Still holding out for the twist.
