Shadowhunters fandom, r u ok? I only ask because I’ve recently been reading some fic (thanks blueMeridian!) and it seems to be approximately 90% ‘everyone is happy and gets enough sleep and eats pancakes.’ Which is totally up my alley and awesome, but I worry your show isn’t treating you right.

In light of that, here is my three step plan for how I deal with troubling canon:

1. Ignore all canon.

2. Interact with the source material solely through watching gifsets and tumblr vids of people hugging.

3. Read fanfic, especially AUs where everyone takes naps a lot. (Shadowhunters fandom seems to have this AU fully mastered, so there is a lot to choose from!)

This strategy has previously been effective with such fandoms as The Dead Zone, Teen Wolf, and Supergirl, so it has a history of success!

Can I ask what you don't like about Supergirl? I really enjoy it, but I love hearing what other people think about shows.

I enjoy it too, I just don't watch it :) I'm in a sort of 'don't ever feel like watching tv' phase right now, so I just -- don't, much? Pretty much all the parts of shows that I figure I'd like the best are already gif'd and vidded and ficced all over my tumblr and AO3 tags, which shows the amazing power of fandom, and it lets me be a tagalong fan for a lot of things I wouldn't even know about otherwise. (All of the shows I named are ones I've never seen.)
