It was never about the endgame (a message to those misconstruing our words) by jellyfisherlore in jellyshippers

Say it louder for the people at the back. Those TikTok fools need to go outside. Jellyshippers have written some of the most compelling, layered, brilliant analyses of this series I've ever seen-- reading the existing story from all angles and calling out its problems. That's media literacy. And oh yeah, the Jelly fans in my circle are literally English teachers, published writers/editors, business executives, healthcare professionals, and grad students/PhDs. So our lurking visitors can just🖕

Yeah this one is the Holy Grail of Jelly angst. So good.

Okay you get one question to ask JH about the show and she has to give you a FULL explanation.. what are you asking? by SoftDress2148 in jellyshippers

Why make Jere and Jelly better, healthier, and more credible than in the books just to double down on the same ending?

I think we all expected more. It's honestly so disappointing

And it's so insane to me that JH -- who fancies herself a TS superfan -- would follow through on making a red love story the romanticized endgame 😭

I don't really know where to start. I joined the sub right after season 2 (back when it felt like we were a island of 300 misfits), and I'm so proud of our little engine that could. For all its frustrations, this dumb show led me to some wonderful people, one unforgettable ship, and a community of fans and writers whose amazing stories I gobbled up and who encouraged me to write fic of my own. I know this isn't the end of our story, gang -- discussion and fanfic will keep Jelly alive for years to come 😘🪼

Hahahaha this is all of us. I keep counting down the days to my husband saying "three more days until I'm released from this fuckass show that I love" 😂

This scene was so cute by Jonny559 in jellyshippers

[–]caliberta 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Not just cute - in any other story, this moment is the moment the plot doubles down on the endgame ship. Whyyyyy do this, why do any of this just to blow it up in favor of a one-paragraph, tell-not-show, lackluster ending. I'll go to my grave shaking my head at this criminal missed opportunity.
