Jumping Ahead pt 2

The room was deadly silent as Nicky came within arm’s reach of the body, giving her a single glance before turning his attention to his uncle.

“How’d you get her out?”

If Enrico was ruffled by Nicky’s lack of small talk, he gave no sign.

“One of my wraiths noticed that something wasn’t right with some of your staff. So I emptied the house.” Enrico held up a hand to stop Nicky’s objection before he could voice it. “They’re currently being housed in the Groundskeeper's cottages. Once I have this settled, they’re free to return. Or be reassigned if you wish.” Enrico nodded at the staked body. “Easy to spot a maid when they’ve all been evicted the week prior.”

“Bitch wasn’t smart enough to stay put,” laughed one of the Ghiberti. Nicky pulled his gun and shot his cousin in the chest. He staggered, putting a hand to the wound and as luck would have it, this particular cousin was Kindred. The Ghiberti snarled, fangs distended. “I’ll eat your soul for that, you son of a bitch!”

“Hold!” Enrico roared, pushing himself out of the chair, arms outstretched in an attempt to stop the war that was certainly brewing.

“You’re going to let that insult stand? After letting his whore spy on us?” the Ghiberti snarled, looking from Enrico to Nicky, waiting for an opportunity.

“We already brought violence to his house, Charles,” Enrico said with the most mild of expressions. “I would guess shooting you for the insult makes it even, wouldn’t you say?”

It was a poor offering to let everyone save face, especially in light of Charles’ unwillingness to take the cue, but no one in that room was stupid enough not to hear Enrico’s expectation. Nicky made a point of slowly holstering his gun, keeping his eyes on the maestro. Charles wasn’t worth his attention.

“Good. Marcus? Take the rest of the men below. See that Charles has something to eat and walks it off. I’ll follow up with you in a moment.”

The room paused, waiting to see which way the wind would blow. When Marcus finally saluted and turned for the door, the rest of the men fell in behind him without a word, although Charles took the opportunity to spit at Nicky’s feet in passing. Nicky let it go, knowing there’d be time later to settle that debt.

When finally the room cleared, “Give me one reason why I don’t kill her now.”

“Money.” Nicky could see that Enrico didn’t expect that response. Brows rose over those cold gray eyes, showing Nicky the smallest hint of a surprise. “Did you think I was going to say something different?”

“I did,” the maestro admitted, stepping closer to the Kindred he had staked, one foot resting on a spill of black skirt as if to hold her tighter to the floor. “I know who she is and what she can do, Nicky. There’s plenty of reason to think you succumbed to the same madness. She’s a curse. Everything she touches devolves into chaos.”

“It’s business - ” Nicky began.

“It's business? It’s business? Your business cost me a childe!” Enrico exploded, his rage sudden and unexpected. The maestro jabbed a finger at Nicky. “Your inexplicable need for this Ventrue trollop brought their vengeance tenfold and now Madaline’s ashes are blown across Chicago. Because of you, Nicky! Because of her!”

If Enrico had been holding a knife at that moment, Nicky was certain he would have driven it down into the Tart’s staked body and thereby getting empty vengeance for a death the Tart was only peripherally and accidentally responsible for. Honestly, Nicky couldn’t argue with his kinsman. Enrico was right. Taking the Tart had brought retaliation and that retaliation had set in motion the events that had resulted in Madaline’s death. Also in all honesty, Nicky couldn’t claim he wouldn’t do it all over again. It was a truth Enrico wouldn’t want to hear.

“All this time I thought you had ashed her and taken over the company, keeping her childer fed on lies and promises.” The maestro waved a hand around the expansive room. “But its all still hers, isn’t it.”

“Its how I keep the family from taking it from me. They can’t. The Hunter childer would take the matter to their Justicar and then we lose more than just a fashion house. Guil’s got a soft spot for them.”

“Is there any family you wouldn’t sell out, Nicky?”

“Up until you decided to make my house your headquarters, you had plausible deniability, which is the best out I could have given you. You should have gone and sat on Taddeo while I was away on business.”

“I should kill you for letting your rosey strumpet spy on us.”

“Lucretia would thank you for that.” It was a risky challenge, reminding Enrico of the balancing act he had with one of his contemporaries and how removing any check on her power would be a detriment. Any threat to a maestro was by default a threat of interest to the rest of maestri, mostly for the ability to control and wield that threat while being safe from harm.

Enrico gave Nicky a disgusted look and stalked away, heading toward the low fire. From the pile of wood in a brass holder, he took a small hatchet, the kind used to split kindling from the larger logs brought in by the servants. He stood with it balanced lightly in his hand and indicated the Kindred lying motionless on the floor.

“Unstake her.”

“What are you doing with that axe?”

“Unstake her.” Enrico repeated.

People who try to analyze what happened on Tumblr on November 5th, 2020, often really overstate how much it was actually “about” Supernatural. As someone who has never been in the supernatural fandom ever but dID join in on the hysterical destielposting—it was really more about the stress of the pandemic and the 2020 presidential election.

The two biggest Youtubers I’ve seen try to dissect “what happened that November 5th” in video essays both weren’t American—- and I think that explains why they both tried to explain the hysteria primarily via analyzing the Supernatural fandom/the original show, rather than through the lens of the election. And while those videos are cool, valid, informational, and make lots of really well-considered interesting points— I can tell you that me and almost all my mutuals had literally no knowledge or interest in the fact that “oh supernatural had made nods at the ship in the past but the creators were adamant that I wouldn’t be canon” or etc etc etc etc. the first time I learned about any of that context was way later, watching videos where people claimed that fandom history context (that I did not know anything about) was the actual reason for the hysteria.

But the reality is that people latched on to the Destiel stuff because it was a piece of big useless inane zero-stakes fandom news in a time when we were desperately waiting for serious high stakes election news. We were latching onto a “positive “ piece of inane stupid fandom news in a time of great stress, with all the desperation of a drowning man who latches onto whatever piece of wood will keep him afloat.

The core of the hysteria was that Americans (who make up a huge chunk of tumblr’s userbase) were currently glued to their laptops watching the live presidential election vote counts come in. These vote counts were taking an extended amount of time due to the pandemic causing high numbers of mail-in ballots, resulting in a constant state of Election Day Stress for multiple days straight.

This was also during the height of the Pandemic. People had predicted Trump’s presidency would be bad; no one had predicted it would be this apocalyptically bad. No one had predicted pandemics and lockdowns and hospitals overflowing with bodybags. remember Trump spreading Covid lies and conspiracies?? There were so many Qanon conspiracies about democrats being Satanic child traffickers who had to be put to death, and coup threats were mounting from the right wing side. It seemed like this election was a choice between ‘centrist democrat’ and “apocalyptic right wing conspiracy theory authoritarianism,” in the midst of pandemic conditions that people feared would never ever improve— and it seemed like a close election.

Another major point was that Trump voters were more likely to be antimaskers/Covid deniers, while Biden voters were more likely to take the pandemic seriously— so Biden voters were more likely to send in mail-in ballots instead of risking the in-person voting crowds, which meant their ballots would take much longer to count. And so, in many state electoral vote counts, it would initially seem like Trump was very far in the lead— only for Biden to slooooowly build up an agonizingly small lead as the mail in ballots came in, and then defeat Trump at the very end.

So you’re just watching these news sites giving live election updates, refreshing the page every 2 minutes to see if you’re going to live under a spineless centrist democrat or a literal Qanon Dictatorship. And then you go on tumblr to distract yourself, and there’s more election posting, and more agonizing over the votes, and more stress and despair—-

And then it’s been days and we’re right at the crucial tipping point where it’s anyone’s game and the next few hours will determine whether Trump will win, so you need to keep your eye on the vote count, because the next hours will determine the future of the pandemic and your country and your plans for your entire life—

And then stupid Destiel becomes canon! And it becomes canon in the silliest way possible!

If Destiel had become canon at any other time, it would have been a big goofy tumblr celebration? But we wouldn’t have gotten the insane explosion of hysterical interaction.

The entire core of it was the contrast between the inane meaningless stupidity of fandom news vs the actual stressful election news you wanted to hear! It really is best conveyed in that meme where Castiel says “I love you” and Dean indifferently responds with a piece of important election news.

It’s about the contrast between the low-stakes inanity of fandom and the massive life-destroying stakes of a terrifying election. There really was no reason it had be Supernatural specifically, except that Supernatural was a thing everyone knew basic things about from dashboard osmosis— it could’ve been any other equally huge silly fandom ship news about a ship everyone *knew of* but might not necessarily be invested in (ex. Stucky becoming canon, Johnlock becoming canon, Kirk/Spock becoming more canon somehow, etc etc etc.)

I think it’s true that people who weren’t paying agonizingly close attention to the American election news got swept up in it, and that non American Supernatural fans also were extremely excited for purely fandom reasons — but the entire reason it blew up to an unprecedented degree was because of that core of stressed out terrified Americans glued to their computers watching election results and suddenly receiving stupid fandom news instead, and deciding to just hysterically parodically hyper-celebrate this absurd useless zero-stakes news.

I think it was also all elevated by the fact that, as I said before, this happened at the crucial “tipping point” of the election where the next few hours would determine the winner. The fact that Biden began to slowly develop a lead in the hours after made it feel, hysterically, as if the hours after Destiel became canon was somehow the turning point where he began to win; so celebrating Destiel felt like celebrating that slow turn towards victory.

The tl,dr is that it’s so important to Remember the Fifth of November …..in preparation the inevitable hysteria that will happen in the presidential election on November 5th of next year. XD. Personally I’m rooting for Johnlock or Frodo/Sam to somehow become canon in the eleventh hour right before the democrats win

#November 5th #november 5 2020 #the fifth of november #just a random ramble #November 5th 2020 is such an important day to me #it really is a holiday #but it does confuse me when I see people analyzing it primarily as a supernatural thing #instead of a ‘hysteria over an election reaches a breaking point when inane zero stakes fandom news comes out and we all latch onto it’thing #but yeah!!#this is my personal essay out of love for the holiday

in retrospect i'm enjoying imagining the brainstorming meeting where they were like "our userbase is full of introverted, nervous, and annoying people doing parallel play, they all love bothering each other, but they also don't want to be overly familiar with strangers, let alone the people they've been hanging out with for literal years, how do we add enrichment to that antisocial social enclosure" and the correct answer was to let us socialize like a feral cat colony and nonverbally and impersonally yet lovingly smack each other lol

#boop #it was a good time #low stakes low threshold interaction

Brown University students are launching an indefinite hunger strike for Palestine

they are asking for their university to divest from companies profiting from the genocide in gaza and openly call for a ceasefire and will not eat until the university governing bodies hears and considers a divestment resolution. if you are not familiar with the physical toll a hunger strike takes on the body, it might be worth looking up to get a better sense of what a significant action these students are taking. the university's highest governing body is having their first meeting of 2024 on february 8-9th so let's rally around them to muster even more pressure on brown university.

brown university contact page: let's state our support for these students and let brown university know the world will be watching what happens next!

additional reading: coverage of this story in the university's student news paper - get to know some of the hunger strikers

#a lot of hunger strikes are effective simply because it looks really bad if certain people die under your care because you were denying #them something they believed so important that they'd stake their life on it. and i think students who are in care of a school #are very much in a position to hunger strike powerfully.#there are even more articles on the brown daily herald that are worth reading i think shorter posts tend to get more traction but #i might make a follow up later #free palestine #free gaza #brown university hunger strike #hunger strike
