Shannon should be allowed to kill people violently </3 I'll even do it for her if she wants
Some of you were not around in the fandom during yearly releases. That's understandable. Let me tell you what it was like.
Here is a tweet thread from 2018 where Shannon posted asking for pain management recommendations, because she was spending so much time typing that she was in extreme physical pain.
Fellow author Kiersten White recommended a wrist brace, and Shannon replied:
I'll spare you more details from the thread, but she described more of her injury, and it was extreme. She was losing feeling in some of her fingers, bad. And she did not have time to go to the doctor because of the deadlines the publisher had her on.
I've never forgotten this thread.
This is one of the more extreme examples, but this type of posting was typical. Shannon was constantly expressing that she was on endless deadlines, that she never slept, that she did nothing but work. Her Instagram was almost entirely made up of dead-eyed selfies with captions like "Proof that I'm still alive!":
Read some of those captions, and let me know if you still think returning to this era would be a good idea. And if you do, I'll hunt you down myself.
i will never forget when she was pregnant and mentioned being sick and unable to go to the doctor because of deadlines, while pregnant i think the post was made mere weeks before she got a social media manager because I never saw a post like that again, and the post itself was taken down, but i was horrified, and very concerned that her publishing company was pushing her that hard??
