Agreed times a million RG. Some interviews, if I know the context of them, mean more to me than others, and it’s easy to jump on anything that sounds hopeful to your side, but this seemed very random with no context. (I didn’t know until you mentioned it that the only others with her at the time were MRJ and Lana which could have shaped that).
There have been tons of interviews where she’s been straight down the middle because the question is posed that way and others where it doesn’t even seem to warrant mentioning either and one or the other is mentioned and some that came out ages ago that I thought settled everything and even had context but here we are, still waiting for actual answers from the show.
The question could easily have been SF skewed (like most of the S2 official podcast) or it could have been in general. I’m far more interested in the answers that *shouldn’t* have anything to do with either and then one is randomly brought up as if it’s the first thing that comes to mind than I am by *imagine question here* *insert guy’s name out of nowhere that will fans to think something and possibly raise or dash hopes*
It’s getting old. Fast.
Both sides are welcome to interpret interviews however they wish and I trust the shipper threads to either rejoice or despair however they wish or toss it out the window because it’s probably ridiculous hype anyway. I’m just sick of “let’s give the fans tons of hope on BOTH sides and not expect people to be upset with us for leading them down that path” so I hate the idea of people holding onto it TOO much without there being any context whatsoever.
I actually wasn’t going to mention anything (even though I was raging seeing it in the first place because I knew it would be trouble and cause more pointless drama) but since it WAS mentioned in this thread, I hope nobody took it as “CSer just doesn’t want it to mean anything” because this is the only place we can ALL talk about this together. I think context is something worth mentioning regardless of who it’s about. Just because I’m a CSer doesn’t mean I want to rain on anyone’s parade. Everyone’s entitled to cheer when something they think is a good thing happens for their ship, be it a quote or a picture, with or without context. We won’t know til the show but it won’t stop anyone from getting excited and we ALL do it! So have fun! This is just neutral territory & both sides can have opinions on something. That’s what shipper threads/safe havens are for! I have a lot of SF friends. This is a good one for you since she singled out Neal. Enjoy it!
I’m just sick of the garbage attempts at “interviews” that just rile people up. Without context, it’s left open to interpretation and everybody can go off and do that however they wish. Until it was mentioned I was planning to ignore it, but I know some people DO take everything said in articles and seeing things be pointed out might make them think that it’s more and panic without any actual evidence of anything so thought it would be ok to present an opposite interpretation as well.
It makes me very sad that people that write these things think nothing of it and some actually get paid for it. Life is SO unfair and people are cruel. I wish we could just see video that had everything in it for everything and then we’d have context and hear tone and see what’s going on. *throws something*
*passes out cookies* I really hope I didn’t offend anyone even if it is neutral territory. I assure you none of it was personal against anybody who isn’t one of the writers of such annoying articles that give us nothing but more problems within the fandom!
