unpopular opinion? I find it really annoying and also disrespectful towards Colin if every other question/comment he gets is about Jen.

I get that people miss her and miss CS, hell I do miss CS, too, like crazy, but the thing is - Jen decided to leave, and Colin decided to stay. Killian Jones is a character in his own right and not just a part of a ship. He has a backstory and an own storyline that’s going to be told, and Colin O’Donoghue has a career and history of acting of his own, and guess what, even ifKillian Jones is his biggest role so far, not everything in his professional life revolves around Jen.

He might not be as eloquent as she is, but there’s no need of constantly mentioning how brilliant Jen’s answers always were when they were doing interviews together. Don’t disrespect him by constantly insinuating that he isn’t capable of expressing himself without her by his side. Remember that he always had to deal with shyness, and probably still has to at times, and seeing him there (also in Denver and Chicago and don’t forget d23!) and doing so well, makes me incredibly happy for him. Don’t fucking downplay that by constantly pointing out how much more elaborate Jen would have answered this or that question.

Hey, everybody. Just a friendly reminder that Colin O’Donoghue is a grown man who can set his own personal boundaries and maintain them without needing his fans to defend his honor by lambasting each other.

Furthermore, Colin has literally expressed that he doesn’t approve of his fans picking on each other in misguided attempts to “protect” him. Really, that should be all the reason you need to not, you know, do exactly that.

And if that isn’t enough, and you’re just that desperate to lecture someone about respect, maybe start with the person in the mirror - because blatantly disregarding someone’s actual expressed wishes in an attempt to enforce your own idea of what’s appropriate for them is pretty disrespectful.

I’m happy the show is continuing and that Colin will remain part of it. I will continue to watch it, no matter how things go, so long as Colin’s in it.

I have always said that, while I ship CS, I do not wish to be known as a “CSer”. I prefer to be considered a Hooker. I would prefer even more so to be known as a whatever-Colin’s-fans-are-called, but we don’t seem to have a name (why the fuck don’t we have a name? someone get on this).

The reason being, of course, that if it ever came down to a choice between supporting CS or supporting Colin - Colin would win every time. I only ship CS because Colin’s character is a part of it. If CS breaks up and Hook ends up in a new ship - I’ll happily ship that, too.

So while I readily agree that one can still be a fan of Colin’s and refuse to watch the show, one has to admit that this decision does mean you prioritize your love of CS over your love of Colin. There is nothing wrong with that, by any means, but you must also accept that you do not speak for those who prioritize their love of Colin over their love of CS.

...and if you post hate on his feed, or even just pop in there to figuratively piss on his cheerios by letting him know you won’t be watching S7 or doomsaying the season before it even begins, you’re not being a “fan” at all. You’re being a jerk, plain and simple, and there’s no excuse for it.

Also, Colin doesn’t deserve any lame attempts to instill some kind of guilt for continuing with the show. Jen left on her own accord, for her own personal reasons, and they have nothing to do with Colin. If other cast members are or are not continuing on the show, that also has nothing whatsoever to do with Colin. He was given the opportunity to continue working in a role he loves and he accepted that opportunity. That is all. And he’s clearly happy about it. Either congratulate him or move the fuck on.

I do not want to know about the Dallas children.

Their parents do not want me to know about them.  They do not want you to know about them.  I don’t care what you want to read into what you think their movements are this is territory you should not be.  Don’t ask if they’ve traveled.  Don’t ask where they are living.  Don’t ask if they are in LA.  Don’t ask if they are in Vancouver.

Leave their kids out of your thoughts.

Reminder for anyone going to the con.  This is SO SO IMPORTANT. 

And you know what,  while you’re at it.  Don’t ask about Helen either. Just don’t ask inflammatory questions that make the cast uncomfortable. 

DO NOT BE THAT PERSON!

Spread this like spanish influenza people.

A quick example for those who still don’t get it:

Bex’s husband regularly attends fan events with Bex, interacts with fans, appears liberally on her twitter posts and in her photos. He is involved in Bex’s public life and fandom. Asking Bex how Marcus is doing or telling her to send him your best is not inappropriate.

Colin’s wife keeps a low profile. She does not appear with Colin at fan events. She does not interact with fans. Colin does not post about her, nor does he post photos with her in them. She is not involved in Colin’s public life and fandom. Asking him how she is, telling him to send her your best, mentioning her at all... is inappropriate. It will not show him that you care about his private life. It will show him that you do not respect him enough to follow his lead and leave his private life out of your fannish endeavors. It’s rude. It’s invasive.

And the kids? Most celebrities do not want their kids involved in their fandom. Again, bringing their kids into it does not show your appreciation for the celebrity. It merely shows a complete and utter lack of respect for their personal wishes to keep their children as far out of the spotlight as possible.

Again, you are not telling the stars that you appreciate them when you do these things. You’re being creepy, invasive, rude... and disrespectful of the stars’ wishes to keep some things in their lives private. Knock it off.
