Hi everyone! Here I am (late as always) but just in time to shower you all with a lil appreciation and love, because after this year, I think we all need it! (Apologies in advance for all the typos I will be making- no I will not proof read this <3)

I just wanted to start off by saying: thank you so much to everyone who has talked to me, become my friend, been kind to me, followed me, supported my content, throughout this year. To anyone who’s ever interacted / complimented / rb’d / liked my gifs and my gfxs, it means the world and I am so grateful and thankful to you. I honestly hit several milestones throughout this year and I just feel so in awe of how many people have supported me. I know 2020 wasn’t kind to many people, but I really did suffer a lot this year, and having people by my side who made me laugh and smile and feel special, made all the difference. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything.

Happy New Year to all my mutuals, followers, and people I follow! Thank you for making this terrible year, not so terrible.

With all my love, Li / Moon! 🖤🌙🐺

Hello! I found your blog via you amazingly summarizing all that's going on with the spn drama. Due to my schedules, rl stuff, some of the arcs that didn't vibe with me, my availability to find a place to watch...the rollercoaster I was used to with this fandom was more me binging it in a weekend to going months to over a year without watching it. I still haven't watched the last season(but with a fandom this big it's pretty impossible not be spoiled so I more or less know what happened) BUT oh great one I ask of thee for more information if you have it...other than being busy and whatnot, I'm not really one to keep up with the actors as well. So could you also maybe do a summary of all the stans? I'im seeing terms I haven't seen before. Who is Kelios(sp?)? Hellions?? probably messed it up but like...I guess what are the name of each legion? Who do they have alliance towards? What was their desires? Que paso?!?!?!?

Hi there! 'Some of the arcs that didn't vibe with me' me emotionally quitting Supernatural in Season 7 after they killed Castiel 😂 Anyway I totally get it, I went through the same culture shock mid-last year when I got back into SPN and tried to find where fandom was at! There's really a LOT of lore and content after 15 years though so I'll just do the broad brushstrokes based on my impressions and personal stereotypes PLEASE remember this is oversimplifying groups and individuals to tendencies and I'm very biased! Also important that there are sub-factions within sub-factions - again, I'm simplifying here!

I've also linked to the 'Super-wiki' in terms of some definitions because the Super-wiki has pages for them where the Fandom-wiki does not. Great introduction actually - only in the Supernatural fandom. There are two Supernatural wikis. One, through curation and twitter activity, supports BiBro/Wincest factions and does not support Destiel users. One is more neutral or Destiel-friendly (I don't know that the Fandom wiki has a personality/social media presence per se). You cannot make this up. There is a factional war... within use of fandom wikis.

Destiel faction

People who primarily ship Dean/Cas, love Castiel and (often, although not always) Jack, and the 'found family' of Supernatural as well as the brothers, and like the post s3 seasons too. Hated 15.19 and 15.20 for killing Dean and ignoring the other characters/narrative arc of the show. Nicknamed 'Destihellers' by the Wincest faction as a derogatory term, 'reclaimed' and shortened as 'Hellers', a nickname they use affectionately to describe each other. See more info on nicknames here.

Sometimes also ship ‘Cockles’ (the ship between Misha Collins and Jensen Ackles) although generally speaking they're more respectful of the wives of the actors than J2 shippers, who are notoriously responsible for... a vast series of insane-fan misdemeanours. Historically most were also good at keeping RPF to themselves and not harassing celebrities with it directly, although recently, particularly with younger twitter fans, that has not been the case.

Sub-factions:

The ‘Desticule’ or ‘Destiel tumblr’ - general grouping of Destiel-shipping tumblr users around 20-30 years old, usually LGBT+, most who came back to the show post-15.18 after leaving it for various reasons including getting sick of the queerbaiting. Funniest bitches alive etc. and responsible for the best text posts you’ve ever seen. Can also start stupid discourse and in-group drama when they’re bored.

'POLOL' - People of Lots of Letters, a discord group (of tumblr and twitter users) that ran on the assumption Andrew Dabb was playing a hugely intricate game of 3D chess to do with gnostic symbolism among other things, and would make Destiel canon. Have since had their own factional sub-wars and fallen apart a bit. Some of their meta was and is good and interesting! Some of it was wildly off the mark. Now generally insist that Dabb/the writers were all pushing for Destiel canon and the network is entirely to blame.

Twitter fans (TikTok edition) - younger fans around 18 and younger who (FOR REASONS BEYOND ME) started watching the show around 2018-2020. Definition of 'stans'. Tend to be very loud and aggressive on twitter when Events Happen, which like. I do get, because they've grown up in a completely different media environment and this kind of Dinosaur Politicking around LGBT+ issues is beyond them. Fancam central. Anyway stream #CASTIEL for clear skin!

Twitter fans (AO3 edition) - older fans around 30+ who kept going with the show but either don't have a large tumblr presence or just prefer twitter. A lot of fic writers, GISH-ers, and BNFs in this group. Some of them are very cool and reasonable in their opinions, some of them act like the younger stans. Some of them too accepting of what happened wrt 15.19-20 in my opinion, because, in contrast to the younger twitter stans, they grew up expecting Destiel to NEVER be canon or respected. 'Can't believe we got this far' etc.

Multiship faction

Multishippers or shippers of things not as large as the two main behemoths . Sub-factions based on shipping, e.g. Megstiel and Sastiel. I don't think these groups are very large though, and seem to have very little influence in the Discourse.

Wincest faction

LARGE overlap with the 'BiBro' faction and their opinions, which I'll get to. Ship Sam and Dean romantically. Often pretend to be BiBros on places like twitter and reddit in order for outside groups to take their opinions more seriously. 'Wincesties' etc. are derogatory nicknames given by the Destiel faction.

Sub-factions:

Multiship fans - ship Sam and Dean but respect Castiel/the 'found family'. Politically overlap with the faction of multishippers, I think. I don't have a lot of insight on this group of people honestly, but I know they exist.

Bronlies - the typical BiBro and 'Wincest' shippers most people think of, twitter user 'Kelios' is one of the would-be ringleaders of this faction - typically tend to be older white midwestern women. Historically have been pretty nasty on twitter (leading to Robert Berens, writer who made Destiel canon, occasionally subtweeting Kelios). Also tend to ship 'J2' - and take it very seriously as a legitimate thing that is really real. This is called 'tinhatting'.

BiBro faction

People who think the show should JUST be about the brothers, love Supernatural s1-3 and everything after it should have been just like Supernatural s1-3. Hate Castiel, Jack, and the 'found family'. Largely loved 15.20. Go to literally any comments section on any Supernatural article and You Will Find Them complaining about how the show should just be about the Brothers. Tend to be older, straighter, and more conservative/Republican (and male) fans. (I am aware that the definition of 'BiBro' used to refer to people who just liked the brothers but there's no definitional difference now in the discourse.) The Wincest and BiBro faction are generally much more wealthy than the Destiel faction (they being younger and more diverse/queer/left-leaning in general) and would be the biggest revenue generators at conventions etc.

Sub-factions:

Reddit bros - literally anyone who visits r/supernatural. Well, that's not fair - there are people who post reasonable opinions on there, but it's pretty rare and they get downvoted a lot. Like to talk about 'toxic Destiel fans' 'ruining the show' and how Dean is a straight man who is straight and could never possibly be gay. Might even think the confession was platonic despite all evidence to the contrary. I'm Not Homophobic I Have Gay Friends, But No Gays on MY Show!

Old Guard - group of older fans who overlap strongly with the Wincest faction, but might not necessarily ship Wincest.

GA faction

'General Audience' - These are the group of audience members that aren't 'online' so to speak; most watch the show on TV as a Casual Viewing Experience (are therefore also sometimes referred to as 'casuals'. Mostly their opinions tend towards BiBros, but they have a vast range of baffling views thanks to being Not Online and usually Not caring about Supernatural that much or thinking that deeply about it.

Sub-factions:

People who simply watch Supernatural on TV and then don't think about it very much after that.

I said they weren't 'online' but that's not entirely true; I'd probably classify people on Supernatural Facebook Groups as GA, along with friends of friends who post statuses about how 15.20 was a neat finale that wrapped up the series.

Conclusion

Supernatural is famously the show that appeals to both Republicans and Democrats, literally All Orientations, so there's a WIDE range of factions. However, most warring online boils down to Destiel vs. Wincest/BiBro - the war that started in Season 4 and has simply never ended. In terms of the 'actors' and their stans, in general, Wincest/BiBro fans love Jared, like Jensen, and dislike Misha. Destiel fans love Misha, like Jensen, and dislike Jared. Of course as with everything, there are variations and this is just a generalisation. But that's the summary of it, from my perspective!

This didn't even get into Sam girls, Dean girls and Cas girls. God. Anyway.

Hope that answered your question, anon!

I’m gonna try and write out my feelings about this finale, so i can try to put this to rest and move on once and for all.

I feel sorry for the cast and crew who had nothing to do with this ending. I cannot possibly determine who had a hand in it and who didnt, I’m not going to write anyone angry comments on social media, but I’m also not going to defend anyone.

Whoever decided to do this did so deliberately and knew what would happen. The confession scene in 15x18 was calculated. They wanted the biggest possible send off for the show and wanted to maximise the viewers. How to do that? By activating shipper sleepercells. The cast and crew of supernatural are VERY aware of their fandom and the popular ships, they have shown this and said so time and time again. They knew there was a huge untapped reserve of mostly queer fans who had stopped actively watching the show, but were still keeping a close eye on the show bc of nostalgia.

They knew they would get a huge amount of attention for a confession and they did, possible more than they expected.

They knew from the start that they wouldnt do anything with it though. You simply cannot tell me they had to rewrite the last two episodes bc of covid and bc Misha couldnt be there or something when they had no problems bringing back Bobby and some rando from season 1. I simply will not believe it.

They also knew they would get so much shit for burying a gay in 2020, you also can’t tell me they didnt know this was a bad thing in the year 20 fucking 20. So they held off on giving Misha a proper sendoff so that the fans could and would interpret this as a sign that Misha would appear in later episodes. Which he didnt. They even threw in a few sprinkles in 15x19 to keep people interested, like the voicemail and Dean demanding Chuck bring back Cas.

And then on the day of the finale came the gaslighting. In the recap before the episode they focussed primarily on Sam and Dean and their fucking car, things that were outdated by season 3. They had little segments about recurring characters (Crowley, Jack, Rowena,...) and shit, but deliberately didnt place Cas in a prominent position, in fact, Cas’ segment seemed to blend in with the other ones. Absolutely nothing special about him. They even had his segment AFTEr Crowley’s ffs which doesnt even make sense from a chronological standpoint. They also kept harping about family and how Cas was a 3rd brother and at this point i knew they werent going to do anything. This recap was supposed to make anyone feel stupid who thought supernatural was about more than Sam and Dean and the car and the monster of the week and maybe daddy issues. Seriously, i think they could have almost had this exact recap before the finale of season 5 if they’d cut the Jack and the Rowena segments and the random footage of minor characters.

The confession scene was notably absent from the recaps, especially weird as it was Cas’ last scene.

So this was their fallback in case fans accused them of queerbaiting, erasure, etc. See, supernatural has ALWAYS been mainly about the boys, Cas is nothing special, I’m sorry if you thought otherwise lol. here is this recap to prove it.

Then that shitfuck episode aired and the baited community predictably lost their shit WHICH THE CREW KNEW WOULD HAPPEN. THATS WHY THEY ALL GOT THEIR GOODBYES OUT OF THE WAY BEFORE THE EPISODE AIRED. This episode wasnt a universal failure, i have it on good authority that it went pretty well with casual fans who also happen to be straight and have had a particular dislike against, say, Cas or Rowena or Jack etc., imagine that.

And now they’re going to portray angry fans as annoying little fangirls, who wanted these two poor men to kiss against their will and who bully actors off of social media by voicing their disappointment and hurt; this is all so fucking predictable. Why does this still hurt so much?

I was angry about Sherlock, i was fucking livid, but I didnt feel hurt and I didnt feel used and I wasnt ashamed for being baited. See, Sherlock has many many faults, but they didnt toy with their fans to the extend that spn did. This was cruel and calculated. They knowingly used a huge chunk of their fans, mostly the young, female and queer part, to generate views and that feels vile.

I dont buy for one second that they didnt know what was coming, not with all the backlash and criticism they have seen from other shows and THEIR OWN FUCKING SHOW.

so sorry, I dont condone abusing and harassing the cast and crew (mainly the actors who i dont believe had muchsay in the script), but they wanted the maximum amount of attention, so now they have to deal with the consequences.

Reading reviews of 15x20 on IMDB is so cathartic

this can't be serious

15 years of character development right out the window. i watched the episode with zero expectations and still managed to get disappointed. can't believe not a single person during the steps of its production stopped and said "hold on...are we sure this is how we want to be remembered"

�� ***

I feel like I got lobotomised

This episode gave me covid, I also feel like Sam's wig had covid.

***

They had all the pieces for a beautiful ending and instead took a 180 and drove the show into the ground

Even my worst imagined ending was better than this. All the character arcs were forgotten for season 1 nostalgia. It was so out of character. Nothing like Dabb's other episodes. What happened?

***

Pulling the ending out of a Cards Against Humanity deck would've been better

This is the way the world ends, not with a bang but with rebar to the back and a party city clearance wig.

***

2020 please stop

After 15 years that's how you ended a great show ??????? terrible

***

supernatural wanted to beat game of thrones for worst series finale and it shows.

The supernatural series finale felt like it was one big april fool’s joke except it's november and nobody's laughing.

***

If I could give this negative stars, I would.

Some of the most awful writing to come out of this entire series. I don't know what Andrew Dabb was thinking. Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki deserve accolades, they put on an acting clinic, but even their phenomenal performances cannot salvage this entirely and that is the real crime here. Fifteen years of character development thrown in the garbage, the themes of family not ending in blood, of "good things do happen" (hope against all odds, survival), and the meta narrative around the Winchesters beating the Author to finally write their own story right along with it. And that's not even going into the other relationships and characters which were dropped like hot potatoes as though the entire season prior was irrelevant. This wasn't just Covid, either. From statements given by cast and crew and Dabb himself, this ending was planned even prior to the pandemic, so using that as an excuse rings extremely hollow. Now I understand why Jensen said he was unhappy with the ending - turns out, he was right to.

***

I laughed I cried it was worse than Bugs

I don't even want to talk about it. Save yourself time, and go find a better ending on Ao3.

***

The bar was so low. Yet they still managed to get underneath it.

Worst series finale I've ever seen. Truly, it could not have been worse. The GOT ending is a masterpiece compared to this.

***

bro what ???

Why did these last two episodes feel like a fever dream? they were so out of character. season 15 was about defying destiny, but in the end they all became exactly what they were supposed to be, kinda horrible lazy writing if u ask me.

***

First time i cried while watching smth because it was that bad

I can't believe people get payed for that level of writing. 15-year-olds on AO3 do better. SPN wasn't good last several seasons but that series finale just hit the bottom broke the floor and descended to writers's hell

***

Sorry Jensen

Dean deserved so much better. He fought for other people all his life then he fought for his own free will and never got to live for himself for more than a week before being killed off in such a mundane way for shock value.

***

Only 1 star and it's for the dog

Terrible ending. Basically forgot all the character developments? I feel bad for the cast, after all those years their characters deserved a way better ending than that.

***

Defeat God, and you'll be murdered by a NAIL.

And don't even get me started on Jareds wig. He be walking around like Doc Brown.

***

THE WRITERS WERE HIGH

Why that cas-baiting? why those 'where's misha' jokes. you didn't bother to give misha a proper farewell, made cas's last scene a 'fake call from lucifer' but had the audacity to make it like "will he be there/will not he" knowing fully well that castiel is not gonna appear in the final episode. i didn't think I'd find a more disappointing ending than game of thrones, but supernatural did it. i didn't have much expectations going into the finale, but this, this was so freaking low. castiel and dean deserved better. this episode destroyed each and every story arc in 40 minutes.

***

only the sweet release of death can undo this

If i could travel back in time and euthanise myself before i ever had to suffer this flop of a finale, i would

***

is this a joke

So... i'm choosing to pretend the last 2 episodes of the show did not exist because otherwise i genuinely will never be able to enjoy the rest of the show again. jensen and jared did a wonderful job with the absolutely horrific script they were handed, but there was no saving this dumpster fire of an episode. yikes. cas and misha deserve better.

Whelp, I’m pissed off - for the third time this week - so I’m subjecting you all to another Spn rant. Sincerest apologies.

Let me preface all of this with a question: why do you people have to make it so goddamn hard for yourselves and others to enjoy things?

Guys. I’m sorry, but you cannot seriously believe there is a homophobic conspiracy in the CW - THE CW of all fucking places - in the year of our lord 2020💀

I grew up in Mexico watching dubbed movies, it’s not the first time they switch dialogue. They do it a lot, whether it’s making slight changes or saying something else outright. Do I know why they do that? No. But they do sometimes, this isn’t a new thing.

Also, as a person who regularly delves into the realm of homosexual activity, who is coming from a well-intentioned, genuine place, please get a life. Go outside, or don’t since we’re in a pandemic, but you catch my drift. There’s more to who you are than your queer identity. And there’s more to your queer identity than some ship in a TV show. In fact, ideally no part of your queerness should hinge on a ship from a TV show. (And if you’re not queer, and you were just here shipping, then please get a life. I have nothing more to say to you). It’s just a TV show. It’s not that deep. I promise the CW isn’t out to get you. They were just trying to give Cas a nice send off that would coincide with his character and please the fans. It is not that deep. It’s just a TV show. A TV show in which the ship you’re all having a meltdown about wasn’t even a central aspect, and was never meant to be, but I digress.

I did genuinely enjoy all 15 seasons of this show. And look, I went through a shipping phase. I get the excitement. That’s totally cool! Enjoy it! Make art, fanfic, shitposts or elaborate think-pieces, but please remember it’s just a TV show. No one is conspiring against you. You just didn’t get what you wanted (not fully anyways). That happens sometimes. That’s real life. You aren’t a victim of the CW or of supernatural. It’s just a show, it’s just Mexicans translating shit, it’s not that deep.

Supernatural is a fun TV show. Go watch it and enjoy it. Go ship whatever characters you want to, go make and consume content, go be a community. But don’t let a ship ruin it for you. Supernatural is about so much more than that. If you were in it for a ship, you were in it for the wrong reasons. Most importantly, don’t give it more power over your life than it should have. There’s tons of very gay TV shows out there, and a lot are from the CW. I’ll hit you up with recs if you want (The Haunting of Bly Manor is excellent, and it has ghosties in it. I haven’t watched Legends of Tomorrow in ages but I know it’s on crack and extremely gay. There’s also She-Ra, which is the best show of all time, and many more).

It’s been 15 years of this show. Is this mess really what we want its legacy to be? The cast’s legacy? The fandom’s legacy? Over a ship??? I mean, Misha fucking Collins had to tell you guys there’s no homophobic conspiracy at work in the CW. I feel terrible for him, after all the good he’s done. There’s so many other things he could be spending his time on, and yet here he is. An adult man. 46 years old. Dealing with fans going batshit insane over a fictional ship after the show’s already ended. I know that was kind a tangent but I really do feel bad for him

So, in the kindest way possible, get a life. And repeat this mantra: There is no conspiracy. The CW is not out to get the gays. It’s just a show. It’s just Mexicans translating shit. It’s not that deep.

Wouldn’t it be easier to let ourselves enjoy things, or at the very least not go about life pissed off over small things? Wouldn’t it be easier to not see people as enemies just because they didn’t give us what we wanted?

(It’s fine if you didn’t enjoy it. Just know that no one is out to get you, you aren’t a victim, and it is not that deep)

*as always, don’t bother being rude, I do not interact with rude people. Always open to civil conversation, though. And while we’re here, (although I can’t believe this apparently has to be said) I also don’t want anyone who ships incest/pedophilia or posts content related to that anywhere near my page. Thanks :)*

You know what’s sad? I’m sorry, I just have a little bit of the feels rn. This hit me hard, like a semi full of a large shipment of bricks followed by a convoy of semis full of large shipments of bricks.

Last night, I caught up on the latest episode of one of the other shows I’ve been watching for years, The Walking Dead. I loved it! It not only gave us back story for Daryl, a part of him that we had never seen before, but it also dealt with a romantic relationship for him and it delves into the Caryl relationship (another one of my OTP’s). Immediately, I noticed the parallels, the mirroring, the interesting way they presented this information -- all of it.

But the best part (outside of the episode) was on the Talking Dead. I know the Caryl fandom has been acknowledged by certain cast members (I think I’ve seen on here how Norman has liked several posts on IG of Caryl fanart), it’s been discussed in previous episodes of the Talking Dead over the years (YNB is the queen of the Caryl kingdom, I said what I said), and the show is very aware that it’s one of the biggest ships for that ‘verse. Melissa, Lynn, Nicole, and Chris all acknowledged after this episode that the Caryl fandom is full of “passionate people”, Chris asked a question about it, Melissa answered the question of what she thinks of Daryl and Leah, Nicole straight up answered why there was so much mirroring & so many parallels in the episode, Chris and Melissa both acknowledged there were indeed mirrors and parallels, and basically did not shy away or ignore any part of it.

The sad part comes in I guess where after November 5th 2020, I’ve...well, I’ve been in SPN land now for a few months, and I was genuinely and pleasantly surprised that they discussed Caryl in this latest TWD episode, that they had Melissa and Lynn present together, that Nicole who wrote the episode didn’t dodge the question about the episode’s intent, that Chris actually asked the question and didn’t try to veer away from it. I mean I literally sat there and kept expecting them to downplay it, change the topic, ignore it altogether, make fun of the fans, amp up the Daryl x Leah, be like “Caryl...who’s she?”, or avoid talking about the show altogether and then it hit me: Holy. Shit. This is The Walking Dead and not SPN! Why do I keep expecting the worst? Oh right, I am now so conditioned to expect the bullshit even though before November 2020 I had seen TWD and TD so many times before, had seen YNB and CH discussing Caryl, all of it. My perspective had completely changed and it was almost like waiting to have my hand slapped again.

And how fucked up is that?

Tbf, 1) I have not been that deep in TWD fandom so I don’t know the history of this ship and its sailing all that well, it’s just something I’ve always loved the idea of since the early seasons & 2) two different shows, two different casts, two different sets of writers, two different networks, one is over and one is not, one has an aftershow and one did not. These are two different relationships, two different dynamics, etc. But seriously, how messed up is it that had Carol confessed to Daryl (or vice versa) in the same way that Castiel confessed to Dean, how much do you want to bet that it’s not something Daryl (or Carol) would just ignore, forget about it, and go eat some pie instead? That Norman or Melissa would never not speak about again, even if it happened on the show? Even if say Daryl (or Carol) somehow didn’t return those feelings? That actors wouldn’t be given a mandate on not talking about it or acknowledging it at all for the future at cons or panels? That fan questions about the topic wouldn’t immediately get shoved into the trash pile? That fans wouldn’t immediately be shamed for asking or told they’re delusional 24/7 because they shipped it or the show had it happen but then yanked it away and acted like it never happened? I mean, holy crap...

I just cannot believe how messed up it is (the SPN/Destiel side of it I mean). I’m very happy for the Caryl fandom right now because even if the latest episode ended on a tough note, you can bet from all of that paralleling and mirroring, something is coming down the line and their relationship will heal (they will Caryl peeps, I promise). I’m also very happy that this show does not treat the Caryl shippers they way that SPN/that godforsaken network has treated the Destiel fandom for years really, but especially these last few months.

Because I just cannot fathom how SPN/C*W thinks it’s okay to do this crap to your loyal viewers/fans/following after 15 years, after they pay large sums of their hard-earned $ to interact with your cast and support your show, and then to feel like this (genuine surprise and shock) when you see how a possible (endgame) ship is treated when discussed outside of the show it’s on, how it should always be treated regardless of sexual orientation/gender/race/religion/culture. And not have my hand smacked and told to go back into my corner, and endure the gaslighting, the baiting, and the general vitriol and abuse dished out by the trolls the show has enabled and emboldened... So this is what it’s like. This is what being in the light is like, got it.

*me with Caryl & TWD rn*

tldr; if there are NDA’s in effect right now, you better believe I will pay that $283 to have Misha sing like a canary the day they are up & then I will bill the C*W with interest

i’m so sorry to have to treat you all to this mental journey, and yet, in the spirit of november 2020, i must.

obvs i, like anyone, am still thinking about “i shall believe” by sheryl crow being used to absolutely perfect effect in the haunting of bly manor. i still remember one million years ago when that was my mulder/scully song! (was there a fanvid to it that i liked? did i make a fanvid to it? was it actually used on the show? i cannot remember. all i remember are the emotions.) it really busted out a lot of feels for me to have it used to beautifully on an already-beautiful show.

but now it’s stuck in my head all the time!!

and not-surprisingly, that’s led to me being like, “aw, crap! this is some real destiel stuff!”

and i’ve also been pondering, like, how could they walk the line of being clearly canon to fandom while going unnoticed by all the non-internet people who are just watching supernatural to see manly adventures with guns and an old car or whatever (i mean, they already did it with castiel’s confession, but just, ya know! on the off-chance -- on chance? who knows chance? -- that there’s more.)

and then i was like, “oh my god, what if the show pulled some bly manor style thing where toward the end we saw ghost-style castiel put his hand on dean’s shoulder even though dean didn’t know it, in the exact style of the end of bly manor??” (obvs we will not experience the impossible coincidence of this, but that is beside the point!)

and then i was like

OH NO

WAIT

WHAT IF DEAN DIES (i don’t want 2 wish this on u, poor man, i have only seen 2 non-consecutive seasons of this show, but i’m pretty sure you’re good people and you’ve suffered enough)

AND CAS SOMEHOW GETS TURNED HUMAN OR LIVES DUE TO BEING SAVED FROM SUPERHELL, IDK

and it’s dean’s hand on cas’s shoulder in a poignant reversal of cas’s handprint being, like, tattooed there when he saved him from hell

and now it’s like dean is the guardian angel

i understand that this is just fanfic blooming in my head, but it still gave me A Feeling, and that’s what this blog is for. FEELINGS!

p.s. if anyone doesn’t know this song -- which seems unlikely at this point considering bly manor’s tumblr power -- plz do me a solid and listen to it and think destiel thoughts and SUFFER EXQUISITELY. (my quick youtube search tells me there’s no less than two vids for them to it already, so i’m glad there’s some consensus here for us as a fandom society.)

i still can’t quite believe i am this ridiculously far gone on a ship for whom i haven’t even seen the vast majority of their canon interaction!!!!!! but it’s just a fun time to be alive and on tumblr.com, ya know? might as well get into the spirit!!!

for the record, i hope cas is rescued and he and dean live happily ever after to the total bafflement of everybody watching this show with straight blinders on!!!! or maybe dean sam (oh my god, i cannot stop doing that! welcome to the SH, bitch!*) can live happily ever after and dean and cas can both die but be together 4evs in the afterlife, finally chillaxing, or something. to be fair, the afterlife does not sound like a relaxing place in the spn universe from the little i’ve heard, but how about they get to go to the version of the afterlife that frary frolicked in at the end of reign? WHY NOT!

* that was a real gilmore girls deep cut for ya

I have read Misha's post on Facebook and I didn't know what to say or what to think. I said it over and over I have zero expectations so on one hand I am satisfied with Castiel being gay and didn't think they were going to show more than that, but on the other hand... reading that felt bitter. And there’s a couple things I’d like to answer to that.

I am trying to sort of explain all of this to myself, I’m trying to make sense of things, but what is clear to me is that: the CW is at fault, the showrunners, producers and writers are at fault too, and I think Misha is being honest. He genuinely doesn’t believe the CW censored destiel and maybe they haven’t in the way we’d want to think they did. But they did.

Also, let’s be clear that there is something fishy in him saying there wasn’t some cut bits from 15x18 and no alternative ending when he, Jensen and even the writers admitted there was. I think maybe he was saying “there is no alternative gay ending for Dean”, still... I don’t know. But I believe him when he says there is no destiel conspiracy in which a gay scene existed but was censored - like I for a moment believed there was (I even twitted that yesterday). I am not so sure now but what I think is that it doesn’t matter HOW they fooled their queer audience, it’s the fact they did at all.

There was a form of interference and Misha needs to understand that people are right to be angry nonetheless.

I know that CW is still not a lgbt ally, however they have some lgbt friendly shows. They are probably the network that has the most lgbt characters.

Just to recap things a little bit and give sort of a context, from my perspective - I think it’s really important to know what are their other shows in term of representation - it’s probably gonna be a long read but bear with me:

I don't know them all but I am also a DC fan so I know the majority of the arrowverse shows are lgbt friendly, plus there is The 100, there was 3 lgbt characters in Vampire Diaries, I didn’t watch those but I think there was a little bit of representation in Gossip Girl, Riverdale, the Charmed reboot, the Roswell reboot, Beverly Hills reboot, The Originals and Legacy - and some others I don't remember here.

So yep, there is some representation and they truly believe it’s ok, they pat their backs calling themselves progressive for allowing one or two characters in each show to be lgbt, and sometimes the writers are good enough to make it good on screen (which really is the case for Black Lightning for instance).

And actually we owe the representation in the arrowverse shows to a gay producer named Greg Berlanti, the CW allowed it, they didn’t came up with the idea.

The CW is not an ally, they are a company and they show what brings them money. And if you watch the shows I cited you know they are familiar with the bury your gays trope, maybe a little less blatantly than in Supernatural. As far as I know, in only three shows they have couples that are happy and that haven't been killed : Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow (which is not that popular cause in terms of writing the first 2, 3 seasons were awful, it started being good when they got free to be more goofy and self-mocking) and Black Lightning - which btw has not been renewed for a 5th season and Supergirl has one season left too - with all the arrowverse shows ending one after the other I can only predict LoT won't last much longer - there would be Batwoman but we don’t see a settled couple, we see a broken relationship and since they chose not to recast the lead, they have made the subsequent decision not to give this relationship a satisfying resolution).

There is a number of issues with the representation in those shows, but yeah, the arrowverse is progressive because the shows producers, the writers and the CW were on board for that. It wasn’t the case for Supernatural who has had more BYG than all the other CW shows united - because CW had better interests in making it the way it is, and because the writers are not that good. I keep repeating it but it’s true, they also are to blame, THEY wrote the BYG in the show and they wrote that ending. It was possible for a better representation in spn if everyone tried. Only the actors tried, that’s the problem, and they don’t have much hold on what can and cannot be done.

Supernatural is different in CW eyes - not because it is their most popular show in terms of audience - I know everyone says that but when you look at the numbers The Flash is actually their top popular show (and that is why it will be the last big arroverse show to go, what will stay will be Stargirl, maybe Batwoman for one or two seasons), it’s the one that has the most viewers, it was racking up 1.2 million viewers in 2019 against 1.1 for Supernatural (x) - without counting the illegal streaming and downloading), Supernatural only comes second in terms of audience in 2019/2020 (and it is important to note that) (it was also second best in 2017, this is not only true for 19/2020 (x) ). But it it special in terms of status and fanbase, it doesn’t have the most viewers but it a show that have a consistent audience; it is big to them nonetheless. Just as this article explains: “Supernatural’s linear ratings have faded. But its importance to the CW, however, hasn’t”.

At this point you will note that The Flash has, in terms of representation, one (1) gay character that is a secondary one (David Singh, the chief of Central police) and he is mentioned to be gay.

Supernatural is important to them because Supernatural’s ratings influence their other shows and the network as a whole.

It is also because they have a contract with Jared for Walker and they don't want it to fail (Supernatural and the arrowverse shows are all coming to an end rn so they need a new golden goose), if they have had shown interest in being lgbt friendly with this show they would have done it earlier. This only means that it's not financially worthy for them.

All of this only shows that the CW has monetary interests and that you need everyone involved to make it work. It worked for the arrowverse because the producer pushed and because it was actually a form of queerbaiting for the CW. This ensures that the lgbt people have what they want and they get to have their money, but they don’t loose their straight audience either. They don’t touch Supernatural and The Flash because that’s their big money makers.

So, as a conclusion, what this context definitely show us is that they aren’t interested in progress in itself, they are interested in profit. They give us lgbt representation as long as it’s their interest to do so. Castiel was gay so episode 19 and 20 ratings could skyrocket, don’t let yourself think it was for the love of progress. No, Misha, there wasn’t the kind of conspiracy you describe, but the CW still wronged its viewers and weren’t well intentioned. And the showrunners did us wrong too because they wrote that and they wrote Dean impaled on a nail and Sam miserably codependent with his brother. I do believe they didn’t actually wrote destiel, but they cut out the possibility of it being written, mainly because they are the network’s bitches and because they don’t have interest in writing it.

Misha might be well intentioned by saying what he said but he’s wrong, The CW did interfere and sort of censored destiel, if not by subtilizing a script for another by preventing it to be written at all. Whether he knows and he is coverint the CW whether he doesn’t know at all, but, he’s wrong to defend them - the network as well as the writers.

I still think we were robbed and I understand why he thinks it's not a bury your gays because Cas goes to heaven but he's not sitting in our seat, however great of an ally he is, I am sorry to say he just don't feel it like lgbt fans do. Another point that has to be made is that not every representation is good representation, and it doesn’t matter that Castiel is alive and reconstructing heaven if we don’t SEE IT, if we don’t see him at all nor the effects of his self realisation, it might as well mean it didn’t matter, Cas is gay but it had absolutely zero importance. It has only shown the character being erased afterward. Sure he was resurrected but it still was wiped out of the writing, you’ve GOT to understand bury your gays doesn’t necessarily means the character has been LITERALLY killed, it means it has been taken out of the narrative. Like, for example, Claire has been erased from the narrative, we never see her again once she’s revealed to be a lesbian, even though subtextually she’s fine and happy.

Misha is sweet and the fact he is always on board to learn and spread love is amazing and I love him for that but he is wrong here and he should listen and learn what BYG effectively means.

I kinda want to copy paste that into another post because it is important and I wish someone would say that to him, I am sure he is kind enough to listen.

What we’re also mad about isn’t only that Castiel has been erased. It’s that Dean has been erased too and doesn’t get to answer and give a full closure to this narrative. Castiel being gay is huge, I said that already, but it’s only half satisfying if he doesn’t get to be with the man he loves and who loves him in return, or if he doesn’t get an answer. Maybe it wasn’t written, maybe it was censored, no matter what, Dean’s love was there and it should have been acknowledged. And after all, I wouldn’t have been mad about them writing a platonic answer because it would have been an answer (even though I wouldn’t have been satisfied because in the whole context of television, there is not enough gay couples that are settled and not written in traumatic way). The fact no one acknowledges the fact Castiel was gay, it’s hurting, from our perspective. It’s like he spoke his truth but wasn’t heard.

And that is a problem. Not every representation is a good representation and people need to understand how offensive it is to us to hear “well you should be happy we’ve given you that much” - especially when in the whole picture, there is like TWO shows that aren’t about homosexuality that shows a healthy relationship between two lgbt characters without one of the two be killed or erased from the narrative.

We deserve more than the bare minimum.

So, okay, no, the mexican sub wasn’t the proof of a manipulation (and nonetheless we just can’t tell because there is NO objective evidences), BUT THAT DOESN’T MEAN ANY OF THAT IS OK.

I love Misha Collins, I think he is a beautiful human being, but he doesn’t possibly know why we are hurt and I am sad he didn’t think this further.

I've never seen an episode of supernatural all I see is what's on your blog and each and every day I become more confused about the writing of the show and why people enjoy it :l

okay well first off i am SO sorry you have to see me like this jknbuvgyuhjn i cannot believe im spnblogging in 2020 like im 15 again but things happen i guess.

second of all, the thing to know about supernatural is.... i think, for general audiences, it is an average-to-good show. it's not Bad. It's not Beloved and/or Acclaimed. objectively, i think is also probably the most balanced view of the show and is also probably what the cw and/or people who worked on the show see it as. it lasted 15 years because it consistently pulled in reliable numbers for the cw and grabbed a lot of demographics. like i know the tumblr bubble skews perceptions but, people of all ages, genders, sexualities watched and enjoyed supernatural, yes even to the very end. most people are also not looking at supernatural with the hyperfocused lens that tumblr is and that’s like... okay. those fans aren’t any less relevant or important. if only tumblr was watching supernatural, i promise it would’ve been cancelled like at least 7 years ago.

the spn *fandom* is interesting because like one, no one is watching the same fucking show. like we all watched the same episodes but like this fandom cant even agree on like...basic facets of canon, let alone digging into complex meta. people’s views of characters actions and motivations skew wildly. things one side of the fandom considers nearly canon are like essentially viewed as ooc on other sides of the fandom. you love and hate all the characters and everyone is always about to start swinging on everyone else. you have to simultaneously juggle the ideas that the writers — and for the record this show has had four showrunners and like a billion individual writers who all see and interpret it slightly differently — are brilliant and the writers legitimately are both stupid and bad at their jobs. you have to turn your brain off in terms of continuity because they retcon their own lore every 15 seconds. this isn’t even getting into the ship wars, the boundary crossing, the weird invasiveness , etc., etc., etc. supernatural’s writing is sometimes incredible, sometimes terrible, but generally pretty average, but it had a charm (ESPECIALLY IN SEASONS 1-3) that reeled you in, even if you hated the genre.

when a show is on this long, i think the fans (rightly so) will look back and dig in and get nitpicky on things they wish were covered with more care. things that the show obviously did not decide to write with the intention of addressing/grappling with later on. case in point: dean’s drinking habits. with the exception of like... season 7 where they DO address it, dean drinks a lot as a feature of his character with little to no consequence. he doesn’t get drunk. he’s always driving. it might as well be water. the writers don’t intend for that to be more than just a facet of what makes him a rough and tough action hero even though logically, he should be drunk all the time. even w/ interviews w/ the cast/crew, it’s clear the writers don’t think the fans will care and/or notice a lot of things. they do, because well, they’re invested. the fandom extrapolates because that’s what fandom does, but i really don’t think the writers connect those dots because dean’s drinking /isn’t/ a problem until they need it to be. because spn has gone on so long, it has more instances of things like this than other shows, and our cultural contexts have also evolved a lot along the way from 2005 to 2020. so again, there’s a lot to work with. i don’t really think that’s so much a reflection of the quality of the show than it is a reflection of how long it’s been on and the way society has changed since then. dean not knowing what myspace is is funny for two completely different reasons in 2005 and in 2020, for example.

my own personal opinion is, there’s a lot to enjoy about supernatural. seasons 1-5 are legitimately good tv. for all their flaws, they have a very clear aesthetic and tell a story that is well-structured and relatively coherent in terms of themes and continuity. they set up complex characters and relationships and everyone’s motivations make sense and that arc wraps on a tragic but ultimately narratively consistent and thus fulfilling point. of course, there’s stuff i personally like and dislike but separating my emotions from it, it’s very good. i think if anything, i would recommend anyone watch those five seasons and then decide whether they want to continue or not. if you don’t, you’ll end on a note that feels complete. it’s what i’m doing w/ my friend elaine, currently, actually. if she decides she wants to continue after 5, we’ll do that, but for now we’re just vibing in season 1. after that point, i think if you decide you care enough about the characters to push through wildly inconsistent writing, there’s stuff to enjoy in seasons 6-15, but the quality and particularly the consistency dips and this is also where the retconning really starts to...intensify. it’s also where the mythos of supernatural grows bigger than the show itself, which i think was always supernatural’s downfall. the crew started caring more about the whims of the fandom and frankly the fandom became more of the story than the show, and that’s how you get people piecing together what supernatural is based on out of context gifsets that skew perceptions wildly and get Supernatural Fandom™ which... frankly, in my opinion, changed fandom culture as a whole for the worse, like yes it’s a huge, powerful and often memeable behemoth but also... the way it changed creator-fan interactions is something we’re going to be unpacking for a long time. i think had the writers tuned out fandom wars and internet yelling and strived to tell a story that made sense and was well constructed to /them/, we wouldn’t be here and seasons 6-15 could’ve found a way to be as beloved as the first third of the show. i’m personally of the opinion that being a fan of something, for better or for worse, does not entitle you to part of it’s creative process. it doesn’t become a collaboration, and the door is always there if you get to the point where you want to leave. i think supernatural getting too caught up in its own fandom and balancing all these conflicting interests is ultimately what made the last 10 seasons, and particularly the back third of the show oftentimes flounder. the finale chaos, in my opinion, happened because they tried to please everyone by keeping too many things vague so people would have room to play in their own sandboxes and round out the story the way they wanted to see it and thus ultimately, a lot of things were left in the air and so for many people, the closure they were hoping for just wasn’t there.

i dont know how this became a long and scattered collection of thoughts but tldr, people enjoy supernatural because at the end of the day, it’s an enjoyable show and i think the more you stew in a fandom bubble, there’s more to get worked up about. which is fine. i like that fandom engages in complex conversations that the show won’t grapple with, but that’s not for everyone and i don’t think the fact that we have these conversations is necessarily an indictment of the show’s overall quality.

#asks #spn #long post #**#Anonymous #for the record #i liked the finale and i watched the show for 10 years of my life on and off because sam and dean winchester are two of the most interestin #interesting* characters and also have the most interesting dynamic i've ever see #seen*

i’ve received a few asks wondering why i haven’t been all that active on tumblr the last few months and instead of answering the few that are sitting there, i thought it may be easier to make a post ❤

so, to start things off, i’m working ~part-time~ at a coffee shop right now. by part-time, however, i very much mean i am working full-time, but without the benefits (i.e. insurance, paid vacation, etc. that all the full-timers get). i don’t get my schedule for monday-sunday until the thursday beforehand. that makes it very difficult to plan ahead and figure out where my free time is so. it’s frustrating and tiresome and there is a very very veryveryveryvery good chance i will be giving my two weeks’ notice sometime in july because i quite literally cannot handle this anymore, especially with what i have going on.

my little sister graduated high school this year which is very exciting, but also means we have been consumed with all those last-month-of-grade-school festivities she’s had as well as graduation itself and her grad party. she now is turning eighteen in a little over a week so we are back onto the party planning less than a month later, only this time for a big birthday. my dad’s birthday is also tomorrow, coincidentally on father’s day this year, so we’ve been planning that as well.

i’ve been running. so much. i’m running about 15-20 miles per week (though this week has been an anomaly as it’s been a much needed rest-week and i’ve only ran 5 miles, but whatever). on top of the running i’ve also been doing my own grocery shopping, meal planning, and meal prepping to make sure i’m getting the right stuff in my body to keep up with the mileage and the races i’m training for. it’s been amazing and life-changing, but it’s also fairly time consuming.

i have done a lot of thinking this last year on what i want to do with my life and, as of last week, i have officially been accepted into a teaching license program at a nearby college and will start this fall in becoming a high school english teacher!! it’s very exciting and i’m setting up a meeting with my new adviser for sometime next week. but! that means i’m going back to school! i might die! but it’ll be okay!

on a more somber-ish note, i’ve lost a lot of interest in spn over the last year or so. the show quality is saddening and the js are so quiet during hiatus that it’s hard to stay excited all the time. ofc i’m going to be watching this final season now that it’s been announced and i will forever&always have the biggest place in my heart for jensen and jared. i totally believe quiet is a good thing for them, but that doesn’t make it easy to look forward to content as it’s few and far between. i think the only j2 fanfic i’ve read in the last year has been keeping up with the underneath it all ‘verse which is very much a verse i will follow until it is 10000% finished by the author and then i will be doing a very significant reread because. brilliance. utter brilliance.

there’s also been a lot of time dedicated to reading and reading fanfic. it’s been so nice, so therapeutic, but, as you all know, time-consuming as our fanfic authors are out there writing 300k stories half of the time. it’s amazing. i’m also writing more than usual but ofc that means i’m writing maybe two stories every year, which is nothing so :))

and! as of last month, i’ve also been planning a vacation to italy for myself! i should be getting my butt over there sometime in 2020 and i’m literally going to sob.

so, yes, i’m sorry for the inactivity. i try my very best to keep my queue up and running, though my dedication there is slacking so badly atm, and i desperately need to go through my askbox and answer some things, i know i know i know. i thank you all for your patience and your support and your continued following despite my hopping around to a multitude of interests. you’re all wonderful and i still, even after all these years, find it odd that people have any kind of interest in me whatsoever.

edit: oh i also forgot to mention the car accident i was in back in april that very much gave me nightmares and whatnot and now!! a car payment!! yay!

#don't mind me #life update! ignore by all means lol

Supernatural: The Internet’s Best Reactions to the Series Finale

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

This article contains MAJOR spoilers for the Supernatural series finale.

Welp, there you have it. After 15 seasons of road trips and high-stakes battles, Supernatural has come to an end—and people have feelings (as they should). Interestingly, the penultimate episode of Supernatural wrapped up the major story arc of the season, leaving the final episode to get a bit more, um, creative with its ending. What did that look like? Pie festivals and vampires, of course.

“Carry On” sees Sam and Dean settling back into “normal” life following their definitive battle with God. The stakes are a lot lower, but that doesn’t mean they are non-existent. When the monster-hunting brothers get pulled into a case of a band of masked vampire kidnappers (first investigated by Daddy Winchester many years ago), Dean ends up getting impaled by a metal rod and dying. RIP. Unlike his previous deaths, this one sticks. He ends up in heaven, which admittedly seems like a pretty rad place, and Sam lives out his life with a wife and family before eventually joining Dean in the sweet, sweet afterlife.

For some, this was read as a happy ending for the characters, who are all eventually reunited in heaven with everyone they love. For many others, this was an ending that deprioritized storytelling elements that drew so many people to the show and fandom: notably, the theme of “found family” and the “Destiel” relationship. And, yeah, people aren’t happy. Here are some choice reactions from Twitter…

Others, straight-up rejected the last 10 seasons of Supernatural in favor of choosing to believe that the series ended after the first five-season story arc.

To be fair, not everyone hated it:

— ًspn spoilers (@cordirez) November 20, 2020

Generally, though, fans were not pleased with Dean’s death by metal rod, especially in conjunction with the lack of Castiel and Destiel in this final episode.

— Jed ☪︎ – the rude muzzie (@stellaminervaa) November 20, 2020

There were more than a few tweets about the general lack of Castiel in this episode. (Misha Collins was not in this episode, which was potentially linked to the COVID precautions put in place for the filming of the final episodes.)

Many fans are still understandably celebrating and/or processing the fact that Destiel apparently became canon a few episodes ago.

And of course this reaction post would not be complete without a nod to the most notable guest star in the Supernatural series finale: Old Sam’s wig.

— aelin (@shadowswinger) November 20, 2020

More generally, it was a night of celebration and goodbyes not simply for the show but for the people who make it. The CW aired a one-hour special prior to the series finale that gave cast and crew a chance to say “thank you” and “goodbye” and, of course, that process spilled over to Twitter.

And, as Twitter reminded us, this show might be over, but this fandom is forever…

We cannot UNcreate. We cannot UNlove. We cannot UNfind each other. An ending does not end what has been made. I am and will continue to be grateful I am with you. Thank you. And evermore thanks. #Supernatural

Favorite band/artists: Oh man lmao uh Taylor Swift, Fall Out Boy, Paramore, Adele, Ed Sheeran, twenty one pilots, the Arctic Monkeys, others?

Dream trip: GREECE I want to cruise around the islands and see all the history and art

What am I wearing right now: A Corgi crop top and my new THINX undies (all y’all menstruating folk I literally cannot recommend these highly enough)

When I made this blog: THIS blog was like September/October of 2015 I think? I’m too lazy to pull up my archive at the moment. But I’ve been on and off of tumblr since 2011.

How many blogs I follow: 330ish I believe? Again too lazy to open a new tab. It’s a mix of spn blogs and multifandom ones as well as a handful of lovely mutuals :)

What do I post about: On this blog, only supernatural, mostly destiel and brothers and my tears

Pick a word that starts with the first letter of your real name and ends with the first letter of your url: sap

Do I get asks on a daily basis: lmfao no

Why did I choose my tumblr url: I looove my url more than anything and tbh it happened because I came across a text post right when I got into spn (2015) about how dean and cas need to start profoundly boning and here we are :’)

My aesthetic: hot tea brewing in the kitchen, you can see the flowers on the balcony from where you’re standing at the counter, slouchy sweater brushing bare thighs, curls falling loose from your top knot. toes in the sand at the edge of the water, wide brimmed hat casting a shadow on your nose, smiling so big your eyes crinkle in the corners, licking ice cream from your fingertips. lipstick tacky on your bottom lip, eyelashes painted dark, skirt clinging to your ass, swaying your hips to the rhythm, the room is dark and smoky, never touching anyone but relishing that their eyes are on you.

Last show you watched: We don’t have cable so I don’t get to watch shows live on tv. Last time I watched any tv show I believe was Kitchen Nightmares on Hulu!

Last book you read: tbfh it’s been a long time, I’ve been reading mostly fanfiction for a while now. I just finished reading a two part series called “all the stars above and below” a finnpoe au by AndreaLyn on ao3 here

Last thing you ate: Applesauce

If you could be anywhere right now, where would it be?: This is strange question because I’m in my very nice bed and I don’t really want to be anywhere else at the moment but like in general Boyfriend and I are planning on moving to England so I’d like to be there? Kind of? Or like... sitting on a beach somewhere? Sitting next to my sister? I’m not really longing to be somewhere else so much as wanting some things to be a little different? But on the whole I’m extremely satisfied with where I’m at right now.

When would you time travel to?: lol fuck any time period before this one (modern medicine and some more rights are v nice) so I’ll say 3017 but that’s assuming tr*mp doesn’t get our entire goddamned planet fucking destroyed and also that people aren’t asshats to each other based on social constructions and institutions like gender and religion and identity and also ethnic backgrounds :’)

First thing you would do with lottery money: Pay for car repairs and for some of my sister’s university

Character you would hang out with for a day: Castiel or Poe Dameron

Pets: None because we move too much!

First Fandom I joined: Oh boy this is a good question. I was just talking to Boyfriend the other day about how Han/Leia was my first OTP before I really knew what that meant? Like watching the movies as a kid I felt in my heart like “yes they’re so good together please be happy together forever” I wasn’t on the Internet at all until 2008, and not on tumblr until 2011, and not on stan twitter until earlier this year lmao. When I started the tumblr, it was mostly disney and then avengers when it came out? This blog is my first like dedicated I’M IN A FANDOM venture.

Favorite book: I hate this question because I know someone out there will hate me for it *squints* but the honest truth is “The Outsiders” by S.E. Hinton it’s been my favorite since seventh fucking grade so fight me about it!!!1!

Worst thing you’ve ever eaten/tasted: Oh no this is horrible because I’m a fucking picky ass eater lmao uhhh I hate rice?? bad texture.

What class do you wish you paid more attention to in school? This is not the answer you’re looking for but I had some severe problems in my life when I was in high school so really I wish I had been able to pay more attention to everything in school. I would literally time travel back and redo it all if I could. I would have taken my government classes more seriously, gotten more into my history classes, and would have signed up for AP Art History because I fucking wanted to but I didn’t. If those problems hadn’t been there or hadn’t affected me so badly I would have gotten better grades and could have chosen something different for college. In college, I might have looked for something more like anthropology and focused more on language in a cultural and socio-historical context and not just language and teaching language. Similarly without those problems I would have been able to pay better attention in college and have gotten better grades, done more academic research, etc.

Just hypothetically, if you could get rid of one entire species and not have it screw up the ecosystem at all, what would it be? Humans :’) we’re the worst.

First foray into fanfic? How To Train Your Dragon on that fanfiction net website. I remember seeing the second film and feeling so, like, when are those two going to kiss and get married and live happily ever after? I needed that closure. Then I discovered AUs and ~lemons~ and then I was reading Frozen fic for a while(??) and finally Supernatural. Apple Pie Life by @heyacas was the first fic I read on ao3 after it was recced to me and I never looked back.

You can have unlimited anything from a magic cookie jar (item must fit in a standard sized cookie jar) with the caveat that you cannot monetarily profit from it. Like unlimited cash or things you would sell for cash. What’s in the jar? Firstly what the fuck is a standard sized cookie jar. Secondly this wording prompts me to say... cookies

What do you think about Bill Nye the Science Guy? President Nye 2020

That one book you will never read enough times? Other than the one I mentioned above I’ve read Princess Academy by Shannon Hale a million times and I love it so, so much

What’s something super popular that you just. don’t. get? This is the first thing that comes to mind because frankly there are several things that could go here but I’m answering Videos Of People Getting Hurt. Seriously. Why do I want to watch someone fall off of something or worse get pushed/tricked/otherwise manipulated into doing something I can see (or worse, hear) is painful for them? I can’t stand it.

What’s your super power? Not like telepathy (unless you really have telepathy…), but like. what’s the one thing that you’re known for? Uh... nothing probably? I’m not memorable

What’s that story you tell at parties or whatnot to impress people? I am literally the worst at parties? and impressing people? One story I like to tell is how Boyfriend and I met!

What’s the furthest you’ve ever been from home? Home is an extremely fluid concept. Right now I am about 825 miles from the house that I lived in for about 17 years, Boyfriend is at his work around 16 miles away, 5000 miles from Spain... I could go on.

Beanies or Scarves? Scarves

Last person you texted? Boyfriend

Favorite food? Pasta

Favorite season and why? Summer! Because winter is the FUCKING WORST!

Left Twix or Right? Did you mean: belongs in the trash?

Who would win in a fight: Captain America OR Captain Kirk? Okay like Captain America because? superserum? But James T. Kirk is my precious babe I don’t want them to fight :3

Avengers or X-Men? Avengers

Dream Concert: Go back to my Favorite Artists answer and put all of them together in one show :’)

What fictional world/universe would you want to spend a week in: Either Harry Potter’s or Rick Riordan’s (but only if I’m friends with The Squad)

Last video game played: Okay on the real it’s probably Dance Dance Revolution from, like, 2006
