i did walk away from rvb after season 10 with the intention of doing it for good, and in a fit of nostalgia and softness i decided to watch all of season 11 a few months after it had finished airing. aaaaand here we are now. :B
i completely understand all criticism of 11 both from the time it was airing (wow. that was really 5 whole years ago, huh.) and in retrospect. i'm really glad i was able to experience it positively. i'm also glad for people who were able to experience 9 and 10 positively – i've been told that 9 and 10 apparently seem like less of a car crash in shiny slow motion watched as a whole but i sure can't vouch for that myself – but my lived experience was so different that i really can't put myself in those shoes.
but i mean, hey, bottom line, all this is what fic is for.
