I absolutely adore this fic!! I've sat through so many kids' music performances this is one AU I can really feel personally!! But oh, if only Ed or Stede turned up one day...🫠

Best of luck for tonight, Teen Menace! 🍀🤞

Oh that's a tough one! But I'm a big fan of his one liners, so...

Oh! I only just spotted the blood 🤣

I grew up near a place called Greenhill. And no, that's not how you say it.

I don't think I'd even seen these! Just ordered mine :)

Ah thank you that'll explain things! I only have basic. I completely forgot about the other tiers 😆

Hi, I see nothing in the Patreon since 9th September. Am I missing something too? Confusion!! I got excited at the thought more Edinburgh stuff 😁

(whispers quietly - I often just start 1.8 at the telescope scene so I miss all of Jack's bullying, but still get to watch his comeuppance, plus Stede/Lucius, Ed's realisation, Stede's beaming face and of course The Chain 😁)

Magratt ➡️Wee Con🎉 @baskinmoonglow.bsky.social · 4d

I realised after I'd replied to @politestmenace.bsky.social that I'd seen you post it before - and even commented on it! I do love it - it makes me smile 😊

That run of episodes from the end of S1.8 to S2.3, culminating with Merstede, has got to be my all time favourite TV. And we continued to get so much wonderfulness - Anne & Mary, the couch scene, Calypso's birthday, the lovely letter, the beach reunion of all time... Far too many to say! ❤️

I love that Ed pic/edit. Did you make it?

I really do!! ❤️

He absolutely can. He's an incredible actor and we have the evidence on our screens. He deserves to be seen and appreciated far more widely than he is.

I once asked if he'd been able to make use of his comedy talent in ST:SNW (before release). He laughed and said they weren't exactly going to hire him for anything else. But why not? It made me sad that he believed that. I don't know if it was about Rhys' confidence or an indictment of the studios.

This is one that will be re-read many times

I really do, because that friendship and love is genuine and it shone through on the screen. I firmly believe that Rhys and Taika together played a huge part in making the show what it is and it wouldn't have been as impactful with anyone else in either role.

But I did find a group online right after S2 aired (so well before cancellation) who I was able to discuss the show with ad infinitum. And then I found Tumblr and AO3, and on from there. So I did at least have people to cry with when cancellation happened.

Magratt ➡️Wee Con🎉 @baskinmoonglow.bsky.social · 4d

I get that. I hadn't really found the fandom yet after S1. And the only things I knew before S2 were that Izzy died, and I'd seen a pic of Ed & Stede on the beach (and clearly back together). I hadn't even discovered AO3 yet, which would really have helped!!

Magratt ➡️Wee Con🎉 @baskinmoonglow.bsky.social · 4d

I spent those 4 months scouring the web for S1 content, anything Rhys/Taika related and watched S1 over and over. It was so hard to avoid spoilers but I was mostly successful. It was so frustrating realising that all this chat was happening and I couldn't even look, let alone join in!

After all this time, why does my phone still want to autocorrect Stede to Steve??? I _never_ type Steve (well apart from just then). It's Stede, Stede, Stede!! 🤣

w/o downloading anything new - where are you mentally?

3

Magratt ➡️Wee Con🎉 @baskinmoonglow.bsky.social · 5d

Mostly yes. I looked carefully at dates and didn't open anything written post S2 or that mentioned S2, or looked like it might. The only spoiler I missed was about Izzy dying at the end and I saw a beach photo from merman (watching Zheng, not that I knew that). But neither of those bothered me.

I still have such a physical reaction every single time I watch this. And I've watched it so often. I don't think it'll ever go away.
