Y’all, the Archive admins are made up of VOLUNTEERS. And they have been working for 12-13 HOURS STRAIGHT.
I better not hear any complaints when donation period comes around. OR ELSE.

EDIT: How do we show appreciation to the volunteers? For me reading these deep dives on OTW issues u guys apparently it's been said multiple times that one of their objective statements is to have paid staff for ao3 and there's a surplus of donations they haven't used up or the other community solutions that needs to address. For those more financially literate feel free to analyze, snipe me or add to the discussion etc. linked here by deepa. They’re cool and these yearly analysis they did aint no joke.
But Seriously what can we do for these volunteers? The probable burn out from this entire fiasco would be no joke. @ao3org

thinking about how dean’s character gets simplified in fandom, or more specifically, the very black and white lens that gets applied to him. because integral to dean, from my point of view, is that he is both a victim of abuse and a perpetrator of it. that these two things do not cancel each other out or outweigh each other to the point that only one matters. he’s both, you cannot separate him from the fact that he’s both.
but very often, people do. dean is either a victim. or he’s an abuser. it’s like it’s hard for people to hold both those facts in their heads at once. dean went through incredible amount of trauma as a child and an adult, is routinely faced with violence, has resorted to alcohol abuse to cope with it. he’s also a violent person, someone who retreats into tactics of emotional abuse and control when he feels threatened, who hurts the people around him constantly and the people who are closest to him (ie Sam, Cas, later Jack) get the brunt of that abuse. these are just facts. they’re things that happened on the screen and cannot be denied.
and it’s. idk it’s weird to me (not unexpected, because he’s hardly the only character to ever get this treatment) that dean of all people is the one portrayed in such an either/or way when one of the defining moments of the show for him is that during his stint in Hell, he was tortured and then became a torturer to escape that, to feel like he had some control again, and he relished in it. it’s baked into who he is.

I think there's nothing wrong or that far off by headcanoning John as physically abusive but you must ask yourself: do I think that's the only legitimate way to make sense of why his abuse was so traumatising compared to what is shown in canon? do I understand that the physical abuse wasn't the sole traumatising factor for Sam & Dean? Do I take neglect & psychological abuse seriously or am I making it worse to try to make it valid?

do you ever just get really upset when watching supernatural because you relate to sam so much and then you watch him go thru so much horrible stuff and you watch people betray him and you realize that its not a good thing to relate to him, or are you normal?

In my opinion Adam is def a Red/1989 fan and Michael is a folklore/evermore fan. Like?? I can just picture them listening to the all the music that Adam missed out on when in hell and hearing about Taylor Swift. Not to mention soooo many of her songs can relate to them

i was glad my sibling was watching s*pernatural bc it gave me someone who hadn't seen the tumblr version of the show (all my love to you guys), but also understood things more from a teen girl perspective than a straight middle aged man perspective so could answer my questions. and then they did the funniest thing possible and stopped watching as soon as castiel showed up

do i think every song is actually or solely abt destiel / dean / spn ? no, not really. do i think jensen is Aware and totally knows what he's doing every time he uses words like heaven, blue eyes, vacancy sign etc etc on music that is primarily listened to by his spn audience? oh yea absolutely.
