So true! There are more of us out there that don’t care for the Jonah line than others realize. And please please, continue to support those of us on ao3 that give fics without that line. The kudos and comments are everything! ❤️
Hey! I feel the exact same way about Tarlos as parents - it’s so frustrating. I never wanted them to adopt, whether it was some random baby or Johan. It feels like they completely changed their dynamic in just 12 episodes. People don’t just change their minds about something as big as having kids that quickly, especially when Carlos was clearly against it. It really ruined things for me, and now I can’t even find any good new fics to help me cope, I’m about to give up on AO3 completely
Hi, anon! Thanks so much for your message. I totally get how you’re feeling - I’ve been there too. Forcing adoption and then romanticizing it doesn’t do these characters justice.
But don’t give up! Writers are absolutely free to explore whatever they want, and even those writing stuff we’re not into often have older Tarlos fics that still capture the dynamic we love.
There are so many Lone Star writers out there who feel the same way about the show’s ending and are worried the fandom is fading because of how many people didn’t like the ending - this is where we come in :)
Keep supporting the writers who do write what you love. Leave kudos, drop a comment - it really means the world to them and helps keep the fandom going strong ❤️

Honestly? Thank god there’s no season 6. And I say that as a huge, huge fan. I’m honestly relieved I won’t have to watch TK as a SAHD (seriously, what the hell was that?), I don’t need to see a forced family dynamic (no, Carlos did NOT want kids), and Owen living away from his son? Absolutely not.
Thank god we have 4 almost perfect seasons and AO3 to recover.
Thank god.
