Thomas Works Really Hard In Everything He Does And We Shouldn't Put Too Much Pressure On Him - Tumblr Posts

Am I the only one who's afraid of the season finale and the Orange Side's reveal?

It's not that I'm scared of the finale itself, more that I'm anxious about the fandom's reaction to it.

We have been waiting a very long time for this finale and the reveal of the Orange Side. And this time has given us the chance to create dozens of theories about them. We've guessed some of the main events of the finale, and we've dissected everything we could to predict the Orange Side's role in the story, personality, and even appearance. And while it's fun to make theories and headcanons, we have made so many that we've created an image of what the finale and Orange Side will be like.

And the problem with that is that they won't match the image in our heads. Even if Thomas tries to fulfill all our expectations (which I'm sure he will), the final product is going to be exactly as we imagined. And I'm afraid that in comparison to what we imagined, the final product will seem disappointing.

Or even worse, what if Thomas tries too hard to please us? We all know that hates to disappoint his fans, that's why the Sander Sides episodes are getting more elaborate and why production takes so long. A concern of mine is that in trying to meet our expectations, Thomas overcomplicating things, creating a confusing story that makes the overall show worse.

Of course, I'm not saying that these things will actually happen, or that we should expect them to happen. I mainly write this as a reminder that our headcanons are just that: headcanons. What Thomas makes is not going to make the same thing you've thought of, and that's okay. We should all just prepare ourselves for a finale that might be very different from what we imagined. And of course, let's give our respect and support to Thomas and the crew. They're stressed enough as it is. And the better Thomas' mental health is, the better his content will be.
