Thinking about Little Joe, who is left handed and a bit wild, who’s always had darkness underneath the gentleness, and Tirza, the Romani girl from 1x31 who was convinced she was bewitched. Thinking about how Joe could have very well ended up in her position if he’d grown up the way she had, if he’d been on the move all the time with people constantly assuming the worst about him, if he’d been poor and needy, if his sense of justice hadn’t had money to back it up. Thinking about how he probably saw a bit of himself in her, how people probably talked about Ben’s dead wives and the Cartwright Curse, how Joe is so much more sensitive than the others and he had to fight not to believe in it, about how he wanted to save her because a small part of him knew what it was like to be her.

I don't wanna @ anyone because I understand how fast things seem to move in today's landscape of streaming shows dropping entire seasons in one day, and networks pumping out new series constantly to try to attract more subscribers with no intent to actually maintain those shows over time but I just saw someone self-deprecatingly lament that they are still thinking about a show that ended almost a year ago, making fan art and playlists for it, and I want to be very clear:
you can still create fanworks when it comes to old media!! PLEASE do!! there are always going to be new fans who will appreciate it, and veteran fans who are dying for new content and new perspectives. also, less than a year is NOTHING. the original Star Trek series was on TV six decades ago and there are still people losing their minds over it, writing stories and reblogging gifsets daily, and that's only one example.
a fandom lasts as long as there are people who love a thing, even if it's only a handful of people. love what you love and write and draw and make gifs and playlists about it!
