Hey, Hi, Hello - long time no speak....yea I'm aware I'm technically talking to myself! I haven't wrote anything in a long looooooong time. To be perfectly honest, I completely lost interest in it, lost my flair so to say, and any desire to write anything, life got in the way or more so nothing really fired me up enough to want to dust the keyboard off, until now that is. And oh boy, when the flame re-ignites, it bloody burns deep! I'm in trouble, deep deep trouble!!
Lockdown has been a bitch, let's be honest, it's been a huge long turd of a year, however one thing it did gift a lot of us is time. Time to sit around the house, time to not do jobs we'd already put off for years, time to dwell on things out of our control but most importantly, time to catch up on the gazillion tv shows we'd pushed to one side, oh and snacks - a LOT more time to eat snacks.
And here comes why I'm now in trouble....after working our way through many recommendations we'd received over the years...The Good Place, Lucifer, The Undoing, Jane The Virgin.....thoroughly enjoyed them all, we recently then moved on to Grey's Anatomy - which we didn't quite fully comprehend how much of a commitment that would be starting from the beginning so we needed something totally different to watch along side it. Insert Wynonna - the bag of chaos we'd love to live with! 👏
I'll be 100% honest, I'd never actually heard of Wynonna Earp - I know I know, I should choke on those words now and I'm utterly ashamed to even put them in writing out into the world forever, but it's true, Amy had been saying for a few weeks that we should give it a try but I was pretty hooked on Grey's so kept putting it off, until one weekend when we'd binged Grey's all morning and needed to escape from the hospital for a bit so we decided to take our first trip to Purgatory. Best. Decision. EVER!
There's so much I want and need to say about this show but 100% not just in 1 measly blog post, this show and the people deserve so much more than that, I may even re-name this whole website as a mark of respect.....too far? Or not far enough? Should I rename myself???
This post is just to introduce myself as a brand new Earper and to admit how deep we've fallen - so deep that I'm having to use my blogging site (for the first time in 8years!) as a way of releasing all of this passion from my brain, use it as a sort of personal therapy session. Even if no one reads it, I need to let it out into the world.
Also I want to send out some love and appreciation for the cast and crew behind this show, they are literally a wonderful collection of artistic mastery, each and every one of them, it's almost like they were born to work and create this masterpiece together. There's a perfect balance of bat shit crazy and raw authenticity in each and every episode, how they manage that is beyond me. Finding this show through one of the most challenging years of our time has been a blessing for us - although contradiction alert - I also wish we'd been there from the start, I feel like a fraud Earper - a Frauper! The fanbase are so dedicated and passionate, I feel like we've missed out on so much over the years, and now we may be running out of time - learning that it may actually be coming to a premature end just breaks my heart, I'm trying to think of ways I can help, little old me with my zero reach....however if this post is read by only one person and they decide to give the show a try, then I'll be a happy little Earper!
Please stick with me during my over the top ramblings about my love for a show I've only just discovered, but if you've watched this show you'll know exactly how I'm feeling.....if you haven't....what the hell are you waiting for, jump in, both feet and enjoy the ride! You'll sharp discover that This May Be A Shitshow, But It's OUR Shitshow!
