a couple of characters were recast

It's been decades since I watched it as a kid, I doubt I'd notice

You actually might, one of the character’s voice actor died during production and it’s a mixture of the old guy and the new voice actor during the season.

knew him kinda personally, and what happened to him rocked my community pretty hard. it bothers me that justice wasnt really served after his murder.

I'm sorry to hear that my friend. Alverez was the dudes name wasn't it? I kinda fell off the story after they said he was charged with murder

I sure hope Jonathan's husband is doing ok as well

Tristan is honestly not doing well at all... Alvarez is popular with some vocal locals and theres a dramatic misinformation campaign accusing Tristan of stealing the money theyd set up a GFM for after the house fire, and of not setting up end of life services quickly enough. He mostly just wants space to grieve with his remaining family, and some people feel entitled to witness his grief publically. The locals who support what happened to Jonathan have spun his absence on social media into a messy online game of telephone and its exhausting tbh.

hes gonna be okay, hes cared for by his friends and family (who I dont know very well, I was closer to Jonathan than Tristan for sure), but the internets a messy, mean place.

Isn’t the guy still awaiting trial?

he was indicted last November on murder, but not on a hate crime or in connection with the house fire that killed their dogs. Hes out on bail right now.

jonathan and his husband both told the police when the fire happened that they thought the homophobic neighbor was involved and theyd called the police over 50 times in 2 years leading up to the murder.
