It'll Never Happen - Tumblr Posts

2 years ago

BRUH. Never let your love die!! I have been a hardcore zoid addict for well over … twenty years now (holy crap has it really been that long) and with how many absolutely obscene hiatuses between series (the 12 year drought between Genesis and Wild for example) it would’ve been insane to give up on something because it wasn’t on tv anymore.

But no, fans keep the franchise alive! Love the shows! Give them art and fanfics and new headcanons and stuff! As someone who follows an absolutely RAD person who keeps cranking out awesome Zoid work and stories and ideas (@derangedhyena-zoids, it’s you, you’re the rad person with rad work), I can tell you, just because something isn’t on tv anymore doesn’t mean it’s gone. The fans keep it alive. We are the ones who give shows life! Not the tele! It’s US! The fans!

Not to out myself as someone that’s been on tumblr for too long, but I’m so sad to see this new trend of people saying “I like this thing, even though the show isn’t airing anymore.” Like? That’s how things work! Keep enjoying them! Art doesn’t just vanish when it’s not airing, and it wasn’t made to be exclusively viewed live! 10+ years ago, the idea of saying “Ah, I’m still here in this fandom 2 years after the show was cancelled 😳” would have been BONKERS!

All these kids saying “It’s so sad the shows gone,” no it’s not!!! I saw your fanart yesterday! Last week you told me about my favorite character’s music playlist!!! I saw them running around in your AMV!

Where’s the longevity?? It was made for you!!! Not TV!!! It was made for keeps!!! Keep it!!! Please!!! That’s how art stays alive!!!
