here we can see a broken man. a man who constantly feels despair and who questions his decisions everyday and wonders just how the fuck he ended up in where he is now. but even when he tries to look away from the source of his daily torment it just won’t make it go away. but maybe one day… the sadness will end.

“To an extent it’s a problem with fandom: the fact is that you’ve got thousands of intelligent people thinking about a problem, and statistically speaking some of them are likely to come up with something more clever than the creators. […] There comes a point at which, frankly, fandom IS better than the creators. We have more minds, more cumulative talent, more voices arguing for different kinds of representation, more backstory… The thing is that I rarely get involved with a show without a fandom anymore, because I actually enjoy the analysis and fic and fun more than I enjoy the show itself. Similarly, I get drawn into shows I otherwise wouldn’t really consider by the strength of their fandom. And I want the shows to live up to their fandom, but it’s an almost impossibly high bar, because the parts of fandom I choose to engage with are often parts that wouldn’t be considered sufficiently accessible or relevant to a majority of viewers. So… basically, for me, fandom is primary, and canon is secondary. The latter is really only there to facilitate the former.”

Reblogging to add: YOU MUST UNAMBIGUOUSLY CLAIM YOUR RIGHTS TO BOTH A LAWYER AND TO SILENCE FOR THEM TO COUNT. This means you have to actually say “I am not speaking to you any longer without an attorney.” And then you have to SHUT. UP. No matter what. If you reengage with them in any manner, you have WAIVED your rights. The US Supreme Court in all of their majestic wisdom has decided that staying silent is not enough to exercise your right to silence. The police know that their interrogations have to stop once you tell them you won’t speak with them without a lawyer. If all you do is remain silent, they will KEEP INTERROGATING YOU. Now repeat after me: “I am not speaking to you without an attorney present. I am invoking my right to an attorney and to silence.” And say nothing else.
I’m not a lawyer, but this is how shit goes down.
