I remember watching the panel with Sam and Cait at ECCC, and my jaw hit the floor when he said “you can read about that on tumblr later” - as much as we feel we are pissing in the wind, they DO read, they DO watch. Twitter is full of sycophants, IG is similar, tumblr is where fans let it all hang out. It’s the pulse of the fandom. Caitriona’s apology was written nearly word for word on tumblr. No wonder cait has changed so much since the engagement. She knows what many fans think of her now. I don’t doubt it for a second anymore….. and yes, I would be avoiding fans, too.
My plea to Cait is girl, return to your roots. A weird photo shoot with Tatler doesn’t count. We are not fools. I am an educator and an herbalist- not your typical “fangirl” type. I am nearly her age and know it must be hard to be so guarded about her life - I feel that I am in my prime and enjoying setting my best foot forward as a representation of all wisdom I have gathered thus far. Time to shake off the chains and be the woman so many of us thought you were. Doesn’t mean you have to tell us everything- just be sincere when you do.
