people trying to insist a fandom is tiny when it /only/ has a few thousand works on ao3 meanwhile my current fandom is a sixteen book series and has several hundred fewer works than goncharov, a movie that, and i cannot stress this enough, doesn’t even exist
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
CAS IS GONE AND DEAN SUDDENLY WANTS TO KILL HIMSELF??? A THING WHICH THEY EXPLICITLY STATE IN THE EPISODE??? THAT DEAN WANTS TO DIE?? AND THEN HE FINDS OUT CAS IS BACK AND ITS LIKE THE WHOLE GODDAMN WORLD IS MADE OF SUNSHINE AND RAINBOWS?? THEY ALMOST ROMEO AND JULIETED THESE BITCHES!!! CAS WAS ALREADY ALIVE AGAIN. DEAN FINDS OUT WITHIN AN HOUR OF GETTING REVIVED AGAINST HIS WILL????
THEY ALMOST ROMEO AND JULIETED DEAN AND CAS ARE YOU FUCKING ME???
I am truly and deeply and genuinely obsessed with the way Jackles talks about Castiel's goodbye. Because objectively he shouldn't be that much affected by it????? Misha? Sure. He played Cas for 12 years. And it was Castiel's final send-off that he fought HARD for. But Jensen????? Why???? After all, it wasn't HIS character's send-off??? and yet. Every time he mentions the confession he does it unprompted. And he speaks about it with so much genuine care and affection. And respect. And pride. HE HAD IT RECORDED ON HIS PHONE!!! and he actually watched the recording. And he mentions Castiel's goodbye whenever asked about difficult scenes to play alongside Dean's death scene??? Like. when asked about the hardest scenes to play he talks about Dean's goodbye obviously BUT ALSO about Castiel's goodbye. He calls it PIVOTAL and BRILLIANT. And its so clear how affected he was by it. Because he "cared deeply" about the character (Cas) and the actor (Misha). This is genuinely so unhinged. Insane man.
supernatural episode A: "sam.... we can't work together anymore, you... are my weakness. maybe we should just kill ourselves instead of living this horrible life. dad would say something fucked up rn but hes not here because he died, hes dead sammy"
supernatural episode B: "dude guess what! the ghost of Abranham Lincoln shot a guy 😂😂😂 yeah like the president with the big ass hat i am laughing my ass off fr man this supernatural shit is goofy as fuck."
does anyone realize how crazy it is to have the actor of a mostly headcanoned queer ship say the fans were never crazy and they were right all along after 10+ years of everyone just absolutely going nuts over the said queerbaited ship
Kind of funny. SPN was supposed to end in s5, with Sam in Hell, Cas in Heaven, and Dean on Earth, living with a wife and a son. But it ends after ten more season later with Cas in superhell, Dean in Heaven, and Sam on Earth, living with a wife and a son. Like some fucked up game of musical chairs. Except the chairs are never taken, the song remains the same, and they’re just going in circles. Anyways, Happy November 19th.
Holy shit... they were in love. Oh my god they were literally in love. No no you dont get it, you dont understand they were in LOVE. ARE YOU LISTENING THEY
