Another Day Another Obsession Over

In my previous Merlin post, I revealed that I had never experienced a TV show ending (live) before until Merlin. Well, this morning, it's happened again. The Lizzie Bennet Diaries has officially come to an end *cries*. I am so devastatedly sad (to put it lightly), I can't believe that it's actually over. It's been such a huge part of my life for so many months now. Every Monday and Thursday as soon as I woke up I would turn on my computer and wait patiently (or not so patiently) for 9:00 to come around so that the newest video would be uploaded and I could watch. It defined and consumed my life. As soon as the episode was over, my first question would always be "Gah! Can we just skip the next few days?" and most of my thoughts would be centered around keeping myself contained for two or three days until the next one came out.

Well, like I did with Merlin and like I probably will when any of my other shows end in the future (No! Let's not think about that!), this post is a tribute to this fantastic web series.

This show was literally flawless! I am genuinely going to miss everything (even the things I hated XD)! But just to name a few of my favorites (WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD):

First off, how about the Pepsi commercials that we all loved! :D (Pffft! NOT! The Pepsi commercials that we all wanted to KILL WITH FIRE!!!)

Of course I had to put that first since it was before practically EVERY SINGLE EPISODE!!! D8< 

OK, down to business... XD

Lizzie and Darcy's unintentional matchingness

The actors picked out their own costumes from their own closets. I don't think Ashley and Daniel purposely got together and coordinated their clothing every single time (or maybe they did... what do I know?)

Costume theater

Charlotte's editing

Always wanting to chop Wickham into a million little pieces and then burn the pieces, then ship the ashes off to another galaxy. (Also wanting to pelt him with peaches-- you have to watch the show to understand the peaches joke).

Lizzie's Catherine de Bourgh impression

Darcy Day (aka the second most intense day in the fandom EVER!)

Dizzie Day (aka THE most intense day in the fandom ever!)

The interactive side (Twitter, Facebook, etc.)

The hilarious writing/quotes

Darcyisms (things Darcy says that the fandom drools over/repeats constantly because they are just so... "eloquent" ;P)

Lizzie's Darcy insults

Being "torso'd". (Actually, I totally hated this, but it MUST have a tribute for all the hysterics it brought into the fandom!)

Team Figi-- Fitz and Gigi-- and all their plotting (especially to get Lizzie and Darcy together XD)

"Her" being Lizzie, and "them" being Lizzie and Darcy.

Even the super sad/emotional moments that made me bawl my eyes out

Darcy and Lizzie. And their flawless perfection. (SERIOUSLY, WHY ARE THEY SO PERFECT???)

Bing and Jane's sweet relationship ("It's so FLUFFY!" :P)

Caroline's Bing impression (seriously the most under appreciated costume theater moment)

Catching subtle references to the book.

"It's not like he [Wickham] is going off to war."

If you woke up in Victorian England, how would you cope?-- "I guess I'd be walking everywhere. I'd probably have a lot of muddy dresses."

Jane's Darcy impressions

My discussions with fellow fans

^^^Commentary after Ep 96^^^

The fandom's creative nicknames (two of my favorites)

 

Mr. Collins. That is all XD

Speculating how they're going to adapt certain situations to modern times.

Trying to figure out what's going on in the previews for the next episodes

The cast's tweets (oh my word, they all crack me up, but DVG is probably my favorite)

The totally spot on, amazing casting

No, but seriously. The Darcy siblings look scarily alike. Daniel and Allison could honestly be related.

The flawless cast who all play their parts perfectly.

Christopher Sean (Bing Lee), Laura Spencer (Jane Bennet), Wes Aderhold (George Wickham), Mary Kate Wiles (Lydia Bennet),  Ashley Clements (Lizzie Bennet), and Daniel Vincent Gordh (William Darcy)

Now I would just like to put up some of my favorite... things. I seriously think that the LBD fandom deserves an award for their creativity. All the inside jokes, memes, nicknames, and stuff that they've come up with over just a few months could even rival the major fandoms such as Doctor Who or Sherlock who have been around for years.

 

I have never seen a more accurate representation of my LBD fandom life. Like this is literally me to a T.

I was actually crying from laughing so hard when I first watched this.

This one is one of my favorites, a play on the scene from Mean Girls. I laugh every time I see it. I'm not entirely sure why. I just crack up every time. (All three go together, in case you didn't get that)

Some thank yous that I could not have written better myself here. 

Whew! This was a really long post and I could still add more... but I won't (that's what happens when you start working on it like two weeks in advance, you have too much time to think of stuff to put on it). So to wrap it up, I'm going to leave you with this (it made me tear up):
