Re: Gripes thread!

AYRT—thanks. It’s just hard, especially when a big chunk of fandom is trying to make the best of it by saying she had a long happy life first—she’s basically gonna be Ellie from Up, only with at least one kid.

Except Up was one of my mom’s favorite movies, and she died a couple months ago. She never got to enjoy her retirement, she had cancer the whole time and died less than three years after retiring. She was bedbound for the last five months.

Even without that, the first five minutes of Up were always hard for me to watch; my paternal grandmother died at 86 of pancreatic cancer. When the paramedics came to take her body, my grandpa followed them out and was crying when her wedding rings fell out of the sheets—I remember she’d gotten so thin, the last time I saw her her alive her fingers were like bones—and my grandpa gave the rings to my mom for me, because otherwise my dad would’ve sold them for drug money; he’d even started selling the furniture by then—and my grandpa kept saying “60 years, 60 years” as he cried. He died six years later and I honestly think they were the worst six years of his life.

I don’t need even the fluffy version of that in a dumb Disney soap opera, not for Beauty and the Beast and not when Neal’s death (my other favorite OUaT character) happened the day before my favorite uncle died. And to top it all off, it’s the Halloween episode. Halloween was my dad’s birthday, he died after taking a bunch of his anti-psychotic meds at once and walking out on the freeway, where he got hit by a pickup truck. Halloween used to be my favorite holiday, but now it’ll just be me giving out candy by myself and making a Dia de los Muertos altar for basically my whole family. The stupid death on a TV show is just the last straw.

It sounds like this is all tied up in things much bigger than just fandom for you anon. The only thing I'd suggest is tstepping away from OUAT for a while for the sake of your health and wellbeing. No TV show is worth getting distressed over.

I haven’t watched the show in a long time, but I was going to because Belle is my favorite character and the episode has been hyped by the writers, actors, actors who aren’t even in it much, people who’ve seen screenings, and so on as one of, if not the best, episode of the show ever. The news that she dies in it didn’t break until earlier this week. Now I won’t be watching, just lurking in fandom and maybe writing some fix it fic. It was kind of the fandom equivalent of being promised a trip to the zoo and ending up at the dentist, only more traumatizing.
