have you always written for the marauders or did you stumble into it or got inspired or ??? i’m just so curious ☺️

story time with Lils.

I could give a simple answer to this, very short, and all, but I feel like telling the story of how I got into fanfiction so you’ll get a whole textbook instead.

It must have been like 2009 (catch me speaking like an old person), when I was laying in my grandma’s bed, fantasizing about a self insert into Harry Potter (actual Harry Potter mind you I didn’t know the Marauders, nor was my 9 year old self in love with a Sirius yet) and thinking “Gosh wish I could write that… but I can’t because copyright and it’s illegal.”

Fast forward do 2011-2012, THE FACEBOOK ERA, and your girl stumbles into a fanpage that *literally* was all about reader inserts with certain YouTubers I had an unhealthy obsession with at the time. It was then that Lilly discovered ✨the fantastic world of fanfiction✨. And it didn’t stop.

I love reading, but I had always been one to write stories, poems, songs, you name it, I probably wrote it. And so I started writing fanfics as well. First I think it must have been the YouTubers. I also remember reading a Percy Jackson fanfic once, and omg it’s been so long, I don’t even remember the webpage I read it at, but it was like it’s own little blog with its own little colors and stuff, cool shit tbh.

Must have been around 2012 that I started a fanfic of Jack Frost. Yes ladies and gentleman, Jack Frost, he was too cute for 12 y/o Lilly. That one, is absolute cringe if I go back and read it now, but also kinda funny? The reverse harem was so heavy in that one I swear I didn’t even know that was a thing but EVERYONE was inlove with the MC.

Either way, writing longer stories really wasn’t for me back then, so I started writing oneshots. And boy-oh-boy did I love them. I must say “Thank you Bucky Barnes for existing and having me obsess over you.” I must have over 30 one shots written for him. Or more, I have never counted. Some still sitting on my drafts lol.

Then I started writing for Loki and made a small follow along fic of the series, called Time Variant 30578, and I was so proud I finished it (-ish, season 2 just came up and I still have to write for that).

Not that it’s the only thing I’ve finished, I actually wrote a book, it’s a book about a serial-kiIIer, but even if we see his life, the actual unaliving parts are told from the perspective of the victims. Pretty gory, certainly something. But I liked it. That one’s done and sitting in my computer. I still want to find time to edit it and maybe publish it one day, but who knows? Off topic.

Anyway I rewatched SPN and wrote a few shots for one of the loves of my life Dean Winchester. And I have pondered on writing a series for a gender-bend spell type of thing. A short one (but actually short this time, not like GC).

And then, somewhere in between me starting a small business of HP stuff and watching Tick…Tick…Boom! (Which had me obsess over Andrew), and the already smoldering obsession with Ben, I started reading Marauders fics. Discovering the magical world of ✨Poly!Marauders✨

And then I wrote the first part of Gilded Constellations (march this year, probably) and then the second and then the first 12 parts and then I decided to post it and then people showed actual interest?!?! And I kept writing and writing and then I wanted GC to have smut. But I was shit at smut and wanted to practice so The Five Senses was born. After a LOT of research, I kid you not, so much reading fics and even YouTube tutorials lol (on writing guys, that kind of content is NOT allowed on YouTube!). Anyway, writing just solidified my obsession with my boys. And then there was Maraudween, more smut practice but also, I kind of like writing smut at this point? And scary action filled stories??? Right up my ally.

So yeah, in short; I’ve always been a writer, I have always liked Harry Potter and I have been writing fanfics for a while and just recently started writing for the Marauders, but you’re not gonna stop me any time soon.

I like living in my own head, and I love writing stories, and I adore our boys so, you’ll be seeing so much of me you’ll get sick of it lol

Did that answer your question? I feel like one of this teachers that students ask a question to and then tell the entire story of their life. But I feel like I did answer the question.

hey y'all, more ethnography stuff!

hi everyone, once again I'm working on another facet of my project on tumblr fandoms and their populations over time! this time, I'm looking to do some "life history" accounts. in normal ethnography, this would be where I ask an informant about a specific period of their life such as childhood or adolescence in their culture. since this is not a normal ethnography, I was hoping to examine what people's fandom life histories have been like, ie - what fandoms you have been involved in over the years and how they interacted.

so if you want to participate, you can drop in the tags either some of the most important fandoms to you that you've been a part of them, or as many or few as you'd like. it would be awesome if you could put what period of your life you entered the fandoms too! in other words, this is like telling your (at least digital) life story through your fandom experiences.

here's my example of my fandom life story:

first was H*rry P*tter, but was too young for fandom - elementary school

this led me to Twilight which was the first time i made a fanfiction.net acc - 5th grade-ish

my first MAJOR fandom was Hunger Games, the movies were coming out, and I made a Tumblr and Pinterest for it lmao - 6th grade (-present tbh I never left) but yeah I remember reading on my kindle fire tablet either Hunger Games or thg fanfiction for HOURS everyday after school, I probably read at least 1,000 fics (I read small back then) that school year alone

Then I revisited HP, which inspired me to finished reading PJO (I never finished the first series in elementary school and at this point HOO was coming out, so I caught up and read the last few books) (also fun fact this was the only fandom i ever wrote fanfic for before I was ruin by my own self-criticism) - this was 7th grade-ish

Then I was emo... I was into bandom and dan and phil and other things I can't even remember honestly but fob/patd/mcr were my new big thing for the rest of middle school into hs

At this point, I officially threw myself into SPN - my irl friends were Superwholockers, but mostly on the Dr. Who/Sherlock side of things, so I had to become the representative in the friend group lmao - 9th grade

The next time I got DEEP into fandom was It/Loser's Club from Stephen King. the 2017 movie came out my sophomore year and that entire school year I stg I was eating sleeping breathing Loser's Club with a side of Stranger Things 2 to go with it.

I know I'm missing things but in general there was a through-line moving from media surrounding books, (probably because of the ya boom of the 2000s/2010s), to internet things like bandom and dnp, to tv shows and movies later. Interestingly, I probably never would have heard of the later fandoms I got involved in if I weren't online, so I basically came to Tumblr for fandom and then joined fandoms because Tumblr showed me them.

Please, please boost this, and if you don't want to write all that you could list them in a little timeline like

HP

Twilight

etc.

or even just say a general trend that you saw like from a certain genre -> a new genre -> a new medium etc.

And feel free to not share and just pass along! tysm y'all, I'm looking forward to reading your personal histories with fandom :)

i wish jensen would stop changing his opinion on the finale every time he’s in front of a new audience. Today he said that there was nothing he would change, he could only sing it’s praises. And I’d like to blame Jared but Jared didn’t have any input. I just don’t feel like I can ever trust jensen not to appeal to any given audience 🫤

i don't think jensen really has a choice. it's his job and he can only talk about his opinions so long as it doesn't majorly offend anyone. and he'll only be in a job as long as he keeps things in balance.

it sucks, truly, but there are consequences for speaking up, especially in his position. he also wants to keep going with the spn universe. he has big plans, and he won't get to carry them out if he alienates a good portion of the show's fanbase. something that makes spn so attractive as a business is that it's kept a dedicated base of fans who are willing to spend a lot of money. spn has never been the most popular show, but its fans are dedicated in ways that most shows can only dream of. more fans are willing to watch the winchesters, for example, than jared's walker. because all jared's done post-finale is alienate the dean fans, and the cas fans, and the destiel fans. jensen, for the most part, has done none of that.

people are ambivalent about jensen whereas misha and jared have fans that are really black and white about their passion for them, and that's because jared and misha are really outspoken. jensen's always so careful with his words and the fact that he hasn't exactly shown a neutral face post-finale speaks a lot more about what his real thoughts and feelings are, rather than when he answers con questions where the audience is often very particular in the way they think/feel about the finale.

when he talks about the finale, he's very careful. he said it made good television. and objectively, that's true. look at how hysterical it was for all parties involved. it riled up everybody. people are still talking about it. that's actually quite a feat. and that's usually what the companies behind producing these series think is good television. that's what's going to convince these companies to go for another spin-off or reboot or movie.

he said dean wouldn't have been able to go on if sam died. also objectively true. because cas was also dead. it would've looked bleak as hell for dean.

jensen at the end of the day never lies tbh. but sometimes he withholds certain truths. like how he doesn't mention cas' absence in a room full of fans who probably hate cas anyway. the fact that he doesn't mention cas doesn't mean that he doesn't think cas' death wouldn't have affected dean too. it doesn't mean that jensen doesn't think it wouldn't have been a major factor for dean's ability to continue if sam died too.

just because it's unsaid doesn't mean it isn't true.

he's always been very honest when asked about what he would've done if cas came back (a hug, a desire to address the confession). and when asked what dean probably would've done if he'd had more time to respond to cas' love confession, he was also very honest (dean would've said i love you too).

so at the end of the day, he's never said directly that he liked the finale and that he was happy about how it ended (that's a very personal opinion to express and that's just inference that certain fans have picked up). but what he has done is make very neutral and very objectively honest statements about it that keep fans dedicated to the show.

he's not changing sides. he's not changing his opinions. he's just being very very careful while telling the truth.

#boredombabbles #ask #anon #i think everything he's done post-finale #has been one long diabolical plan for revenge #it sounds insane but really that's what he's done #actions speak louder than words #i wouldn't pay too much attention when he makes very neutral statements like this #and it's probably exhausting for him tbh! reining it in all the time #i think if he truly truly spoke from the heart about what he thinks #everybody would know it immediately #and he'd also lose hordes of fans unfortunately #i can't even answer an ask without being neutral #unless i want to lose a bunch of followers #i don't want to imagine the hit he'd take if he straight up was like 'i hated that!!! i hated everything!!!'#he's in a really tough place #and i really do think he's trying to do the best he can in that situation #even if it might feel morally ambiguous

will you pretty please tell me about how teen wolf is a shonen??

Oh Griffin you're gunna be so sorry you asked.

I started thinking about this in the first place because I was pondering about the genuinely weird fan reaction to the first couple of seasons of Teen Wolf. Mostly, how people went "this is a concept we like!" and then had no idea what to do with and how to react to the main cast.

To be totally fair, part of this is because the writing of the first season is even worse than you remember it being and the Scott/Allison romance, which is supposed to be the show's centerpiece, is maybe the worst written part of all of it. Another part of it is that the acting talent skewed very young (Dylan O'Brian and Tyler Posey were both only 19/20 during season 1) and their ability to work with this frankly terrible material was a little bit uneven (Posey got WAY better as the show went on and by the end of it was really great imo, but oh man. that first season is not his best work).

But I also think there's a genre and genre convention thing going on here. Let me explain.

(disclaimer because this is a public post on tumblr: this is not that serious and is mostly a thought experiment in genre conventions please don't take it that seriously)

When did Teen Wolf first air? 2011. What were some comparable shows coming out about that time, or that an audience who wanted to watch Teen Wolf might also have watched/been aware of?

The Vampire Dairies, Supernatural, probably something like Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

What do some of these shows have in common?

Snarky/sarcastic main characters (Dean Winchester, Buffy)

Main characters who are often gray-moral or struggle with a pull to The Dark Side (the moral compasses in these shows are usually part of the supporting cast) (and are always high up on the list to be killed off for drama tbh)

Pre-streaming TV formula (episodic monster-of-the-week builds to a larger plot which is resolved in the last 4th of the season)

Romance that relies strongly on will they/won't they, love triangles, and edgy angsty 2000s vampire shenanigans.

You will notice that Teen Wolf has. basically none of this?

Teen Wolf has:

A painfully sincere main character

That same main character is about as moral and stick-to-his-guns as they come

Said main character gives Big Sweeping Speeches that convince irredeemable bad guys to be on his side instead of theirs.

Structured in clear and well-defined arcs, no episodic monster-of-the-week, where the bad guys keep getting bigger and scott's party keeps needing to power up to deal with them.

Audience knows who Scott is gunna end up with pretty much immediately (even when Scott moves on from Allison because of IRL cast fuckery, he always has one main romantic objective and works toward that)

Liberal application of coming-of-age themes/The Power Of Friendship

,,,,,Hm, I think to myself. That sure is something that feels more familiar to the way a shonen is structured than how a western supernatural teen drama is usually structured.

Scott in particular is an archetype that feels very foreign to the landscape of the western supernatural drama at the time. Protagonists of those types of shows were rarely as good and pure and kind as Scott is, and I think it's a big reason why so much of the audience didn't know what to do with him at first and instead attached to Stiles (who is gray-moral and sarcastic and would not feel out of place in a show like spn or btvs) (yes yes I know the sterek thing is also a big reason but go with it for a second here). However, Scott is NOT an archetype that would feel foreign to Shonen Jump at the time, particularly in an era where Naruto was still ruling the world.

Honestly, the whole cast of characters feels out-of-beat with a 2010s Western supernatural drama. The dynamic of the main cast in early seasons — Pure of Heart-Dumb of Ass hero, Tragic Cold and Competent foil (Derek basically playing the role of Sasuke here, lol), Powerless Childhood Friend, Love Interest with a Badass Weapon to Hide Her Vulnerability — all feels much more familiar with the tropes of a shonen (something like Shaman King specifically jumps to mind) than something that would show up in The Vampire Diaries. In Western supernatural dramas, you usually had a Snarky-Angry Hero, Tragic Brooding Love Interest, Concerned But Useless Friend/Sidekick.

,,,,,,Tbh, in a standard western teen drama, the Derek character would have been Scott's love interest. Which. Honestly, what the hell, now I want that, that sounds like an awesome show. Probably better than the Teen Wolf we got.

Oh. Also, there's a hot murder uncle. which is for-sure an anime thing.

ALSO-also, there are kitsune in this show for one season for like no reason because they're never mentioned again and vanish in the next season which happens WAY MORE THAN YOU THINK IT WOULD in this DUMB BAD NONSENSE SHOW —

clears throat. nevertheless. My thesis:

1: At the time it came out (2011), Teen Wolf was structured more like a shonen than a western supernatural teen drama. 2: That is part of the reason why fans had weird reactions to it — they were expecting one genre and it gave them another one, which a lot of the audience likely wasn't that familiar with. 3: this whole show is batshit bonkers.

Thank you for coming to my ted talk. *bows.*

I sometimes wonder if Sam would have made more sense if he'd been a 13 year old kid or something. I have watched a lot of films and tv shows where you have the "Chosen One" trope for the younger protag and the "Protector" trope for the oldest, but the younger one is a LOT younger so the dynamic makes sense and is a lot clearer. SPN muddied the waters imo by making Sam and Dean only 3-4 years different in age, it contributed to my dislike of Sam in a way because why was he babied so much?? He's not THAT much younger than Dean. You could argue that it adds to the tragedy of Dean being parentified at such a young age, when he was only a child himself, but also it adds to my frustration over how they each get treated differently by the narrative and the fandom.

So. This would make the perceptions of the people I was ranting about last night make more sense, but I don't think it's the story Kripke wanted to tell (he's kind of a fucked up guy tbh—like—happy he made two shows I enjoy but when I watch them: jfc Kripke you have issues bro—and sometimes you make idiotic commentary in your shows while thinking you are saying something very moral and correct). The truth is though, these fans really should be expected to analyze media as adults, and look at a man in his 20s, 30s, and near 40s and understand that he isn't a child, and he isn't intended to be seen as one—not by Dean, not by fans, not by other characters, not by himself... but that that desire to frame him as a child is the result of childhood abuse that is perpetuated and rejected in turns—often by Sam himself—because he doesn't know how to stop—and we aren't always supposed to look at it and think that the actual narrative is intended to be that Dean is responsible for his issues. We are only meant to understand that Sam is choosing to frame things that way at a given moment in time.

The story Kripke wanted to tell originally—in part—is about two brothers much closer in age, but who both grew up as victims of emotional incest acted out against the eldest. It is important, within that story imo, that Sam is actually an adult with the agency to make his own choices. 13 year old Sam is a more morally clear framework, but it... isn't that interesting if I'm being honest. I like this much messier story, about how the scars of emotional incest don't stop existing and corrupting relationships into our adulthoods if we let them. While Dean is obviously the primary victim of the emotional incest acted out against him (father and mother to Sam; emotional support to his own father) Sam was also a victim of how this abuse acted out against Dean warped his perception of himself, Dean, and John. He was victimized by a dynamic that placed him as a perpetual child with no agency (even as he neared adulthood—even in adulthood) and his brother as a perpetual adult with ultimate responsibility and control over not just Sam's actions but also some level of control over his own father's actions. The warped thinking caused by emotional incest leads Sam to convince himself, at points, that he doesn't actually have agency (and Dean is the one denying him it, and therefore needs to be rebelled against as if he is actually stopping Sam from doing anything almost ever), and it causes him to in the beginning, frame Dean as John's spouse when he is thinking about their childhoods, and condemn Dean for what he didn't do to stop it. The latter is much more subtle, and it's also tempered by the moments where Sam does remember that Dean was a child—such as in Something Wicked.

When Sam blames Dean for his own decisions, he is retreating to the framework John set them up in, where he is a child who can't be held accountable, and Dean is responsible (ex: "And when dad came home" in Dark Side of the Moon) because it's familiar to him—and also because Sam harbors an extreme terror about his self-image and finds it extremely difficult to face his own flaws because he's scared of what they say about him more largely as a human being (which is, frankly, Johncore—but remember—I don't think about "johncore" the same way a lot of people do). This is NOT an okay thing for Sam to do, but it IS very interesting, isn't it? The 13 year old chosen one protagonist... I'm not sure I would have watched that show.

I have read, but haven't reblogged it because I have still been thinking about it—some commentary by AngelsDean on how Sam... isn't actually special. He is not a special boy. He was targeted by a fucking evil creep during his childhood and temporarily got powers. I agree with this, and I think it is important to understand. Sam is not the chosen one. Neither is Dean. They are both Some Guy™️ initially. The concepts of them having a special bloodline wasn't even thought about by Kripke originally—he didn't plan to introduce angels until Gamble convinced him iirc? (And also wanted to do away with the special children storyline almost immediately because he said it bored him). Sam is not uniquely chosen —and if he and Dean were, they would be chosen for destruction? Because their role introduced in season 4/5 was to destroy the world as the weapons of archangels. Their childhoods were intended to get them to say yes. Their fucked up childhoods—their inability to deal with them—were intended to make them eventually destroy each other and the world. This is all why, to me, Sam being an adult is important to the story. I don't mind that these themes exist in SPN and that they are tricky to navigate. I do mind when fans I was ranting about engage with these themes extremely selectively and ignore larger context and other ethical considerations constantly in order to build a framework that protects their extremely fragile image of their fave.

1 and 7!

Hohoho <3

1) is John misunderstood or a villain

To say John is misunderstood is such an understatement. That man is layered, fascinating, brain damage inducing but he is not a villain. Not ever. Even if every reveal in later seasons are also taken into account.

Because I don't think i ever thought John was supposed to be a good man or good father. But he was one that loved his wife obsessively, he was one who loved his boys possessively and maddeningly. When i say it's an understatement to just call it misunderstood, it's because i genuinely feel shocked to see a fandom collectively deform and resell this character as something that is not. Even his dying wish is misunderstood. He wasn't out there telling Dean to just kill Sam. He warned him. He asked Dean to take care of Sammy, to save him, to watch out for him. The killing part is the tragic fear he had to pass on to Dean.

So like, even one simple thing is misunderstood, it"s hard to untangle the layers of injustice the fanbase has done to him, creating a caricature of a villain out of him to make compelling argument regarding separating Dean from his family entirely. Or on the other side of it, erasing how much he also loved & cared for Sam. Idk man. I think John is one of greatest characters of this show, he is broken to the core and he still tried and he kept trying as everything got even worse and that makes me cry sometimes

7) Amelia or Lisa

Lisa all the way. Now I don't have much hate for Amelia but she is so misplaced and irrelevant to the story beside creating missing husband parallel with Sam that i cannot see her as a real character. Also i think Sam got some masochism and humiliation kink going there bc why was she so rude and mean fjejdjakak and i dont even hate her for that it's just kinda funny.

Meanwhile i have very soft spot for Lisa. Maybe because of her kindness toward Dean. Maybe because she was around longer and actively interacting with the current timeline. andnI think Lisa was done worse by the show itself but she was a lovely one . Tbh info find her more boring than Amelia in some ways but i ended up actually caring about her so much more than i rver could do for Amelia.

Also not entirely relevant to the question but since we're here, gotta say i really try not to send Robbie Thompson hate letters for that "unicorn" line between Meg and Sam. Poor guy got enough hate but as much as i could buy into Dean actually caring and loving Lisa, i could never see Sam genuinely love her but rather just a dream he hid in. And the same thing goes for the other side. I think Lisa so so so genuinely loved Dean and gave him all the tenderness and live she could. Meanwhile i just couldnt buy Amelia's love for Sam much. It felt like she was also clinging to Sam.

You're actually putting yourself through walker? 😬

...can't tell if mr. cringe emoji there is supposed to be part of this whole weird "let's pit Jensen and Jared's acting projects against each other" nonsense. To be honest I'm guessing it is, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt on not sucking, anon, and answer honestly:

Walker isn't the kind of show I'd expect to enjoy, and as it was gearing up to start I was really quite cringe emoji myself. But, fuck it, I gave it a shot. I kinda enjoyed-ish the first season, while it was doing something that seemed semi-interesting. There were some moments there where the actual character of Walker seemed like he was going through some stuff, he had emotional complication and anger issues, and it was fun to watch Jared do that because a) anger is sometimes where his acting shines best, and b) it was like, oh wow, a family drama show where everyone doesn't just hug it out?

That... changed, unfortunately. I think I got a few episodes into season two (or season 1b? or something? the airing dates were really confusing) and had to quit because the writing was so awful. It's possible it got better after that but I'm not super hopeful that's true, and Walker (and Jared's performance, consequently) was getting really... boring and iffy. It was like the worst elements of spineless Sam, but now in a cowboy hat with even worse hair.

Really too bad. I think Jared has some real talent -- showcased in a lovely way in spn s2-s13 -- but it seems to me that he... rises to the level of the script he's given. I hope that Walker is making him some money, and it's nice that he gets to work close to home, but the show is Not For Me and tbh, entirely selfishly, I hope that it ends soon so that he can get an acting job where I got to see him do something cool. I've been watching old spn lately and it's like, hot damn! Look at him go! I miss that guy. I hope I get to see him again.

I wish you would write a fic that is pure self indulgence, no matter how weird or impossible it may seem for the fandom(s)!

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I like to think that every fic of mine is pure self indulgence lol (especially my spn fic). I write only things I want to, tbh. Unless I'm doing requests.

I know it said "maybe I'll write a snippet" but how about I show you a couple snippets of things I haven't shared yet (that I wrote purely for me lol)

Eddie Munson x OC (Stranger Things)

“You call me a bitch like it's a bad thing / You call me a freak like that means something / Can't get your way so you insult me / I think we know the rest / Get it off your chest / I don't give a shit / I love it when you call me a bitch like it's a bad thing” He’s in love. It’s the simplest explanation because her grin widens as people start commenting about her swearing and she’s the most beautiful thing he’s ever seen. How has he never seen her before? How has he never…who is she? He’s good at spotting the outcasts at school, at drawing them in if they let him but he swears he’s never seen her before. He would have remembered. It’s not like it’s a big enough town for more than one high school so where did she come from and can he follow her there?

Kakashi x OC (Naruto)

She tries to resist the urge to lean into him, to rest her head on his shoulder and use him to hide. She shouldn’t. She’s not supposed to be that frightened little girl anymore. He had pulled her away. He had moved them both, into the darkness, giving her that space even as he crowds her. She never felt claustrophobic with him. Never felt threatened. She’s always been safe and maybe that’s the part that scares her the most. There are so few people she feels safe with. His hand squeezes her hip, just enough to draw her attention to the fact that he’s touching her. She looks up, going to meet his eyes and tell him that she’s okay, she’s fine. She doesn’t get the chance. His lips are on hers before she can even start to say anything. The kiss is desperate and hard and as his hand cups the back of her neck holding her against him, she melts into it. They’ve kissed before, usually because of some mission or task, when they’ve pretended to be a couple to gain information, but not…not like this. This was different. She couldn’t give a reason why, even as her arm goes around his neck to keep him there. The kiss breaks. She’s left catching her breath, wondering how the fuck it came to this. She had promised herself she wasn’t going to let him in. She wasn’t going to let anyone in. He crept in behind her walls regardless. “It’s okay,” he says softly, his mouth brushing by her ear. “It’s okay.” “We shouldn’t ha–” she’s cut off by another kiss. “I’m tired of pretending,” he says when he pulls away again. “I’m tired of stopping. Aren’t you?”

Send me an anonymous (or not) summary of the fic you wish I would write.

#thanks for asking!#or telling me #lol #asks #rey-of-luke #i wish you would write asks #snippets #hatake kakashi x oc #eddie munson x oc #oc: kei

End of Year Wrap Up

I was tagged by the always wonderful @starsandstormyseas thank you love!

Total number of completed works

None but that's okay!

Total number of WIPs worked on this year

Let's see... The Spaces Between (MCU), Wish You Were Here (SPN), In Sunshine or In Shadow (MCU), The Devil Inside (Daredevil), Choose Something Like a Star (Doctor Who), a little bit of A Single Thread of Gold (Doctor Who), and my DBZ OC. So 7!

WIPs neglected this year

My initial reaction is to be self-deprecating and say all of them since I feel like I spent more time writing ahead and not producing much to show for it, but I know that's not true (plus I'm trying to be kinder to myself). I won't say neglected so much as just put on the back burner for the moment until the muse returns for them, and honestly I feel like this can apply to all of my fics at different points during the year

Fandoms I’ve written in

MCU, Supernatural, Doctor Who, and Dragon Ball Z for this year, which is both surprising and not surprising at all at the same time lol

Total word count

This is definitely a very rough estimate because I don't keep track of my word count anymore (I find it better for my mental health in terms of writing and creating) but adding up what I can remember writing this year comes to 61,913 words, and that doesn't include everything I've written down in outlines and whatnot

Looking back, did you write more than you thought you would this year, less, or about what you expected?

Kinda both? I'm always going to wish I had written more no matter what, but I'm very happy with a rough estimate of 61.9k this year, that's certainly more than I thought it would be

Did you take any writing risks this year?

Writing in itself is a risk in my opinion. But also WYWH is a massive risk narratively and stylistically that I'm really hoping I'll be able to pull off!

Do you have any goals for the new year?

I'd like to update TSB at least once, if I can update twice I'll be over the moon! Plus I'd like to one day post WYWH, ISoIS, and possibly my DBZ fic but who knows if I'll have the confidence for that lol

Biggest disappointment?

Not being able to update TSB more. My fixations tend to jump around which makes it difficult to focus on one fic or fandom for longer than a couple months and thus to update more frequently than twice in a year

Biggest surprise?

The fact that I started writing a fic for Dragon Ball lmao was not expecting that hyperfixation but I'm honestly not mad about it

Most popular story of the year?

Uh well the only one I updated was TSB so I guess I'll say that haha

What’s your own favorite story of the year?

Can I say all of them? XD

Story of mine most under-appreciated by the universe, in my opinion

I think they're all under-appreciated but that's just because they're my fics and I'm always going to think they're amazing (and it's also because I haven't been super great about posting/promoting them on here tbh)

Most fun story to write

The DBZ fic! Mostly because I have absolutely no expectations of anyone else ever reading it, so I feel no pressure whatsoever! It's just my silly little story with my silly little OC for my silly little anime show ^-^

Most unintentionally telling story

I'm not totally sure what this means but I guess like which story is telling in terms of revealing things about the author they didn't realize maybe? Idk if that makes sense but for me I always put parts of myself into my characters so each fic and idea will always be telling about me in a way

My favorite part of fandom this year

Not necessarily fandom, but my own determination to say screw canon and create my own version of reality within the story I'm writing. Now that I'm beginning to stray from what's established in canon (down the line in my fics, not just yet I'm afraid but we're getting there), it feels like I've become ruler of the sandbox. Canon is mine to command and I'm so excited for the opportunities that will give me!

Gonna tag @arrthurpendragon @juliaswickcrs @kingsmakers @darknightfrombeyond and whoever else wants to but absolutely no pressure!

top five spn episodes!

hi moogs!!! well since you asked...

4x22 Lucifer Rising - it's one of my earliest memories of the show, and I still stand by it being the best episode (in terms of character, script, execution, theme) in it's entire run. I mean the entirety of Dean in the green room?? and it gets progressively bleaker as the angel plot is revealed?? while Sam is out murdering some poor woman because he's in peak demon blood sam era?? you guys aren't in this part // we're making it up as we go HELLO?????

12x12 Lily Sunder Has Some Regrets - this episode has everything: bitchy cas (HE WAS SO RIGHT FOR IT THOUGH), married™ destiel, exasperated third wheel Sam(rip), angel plot, isham/lily/dean/cas ~parallels~ for days, dean he's-MY-friend-so-BACK-OFF winchester, team free will resolution at the end. truly thee episode of all time

14x14 Ouroborus - it's just chill and fun isn't it? the gorgon dude giving his ALL. domestic deancas heart to hearts over coffee while jack is trying to hide his weakening powers. rowena and sam figuring it all out with their many books. also steve yockey my best friend steve yockey

9x21 King of the Damned - tbh couldn't tell you what sam and dean were doing... interrogating maybe? cas was being an angel army girlboss or something. but gavin macleod??? my best friend. my underappreciated fave. crowley my best guy. abaddon coming it just to fuck shit up. top tier episode

TIE: 1x03 Dead in the Water // 3x11 Mystery Spot - I simply can't separate them I'm sorry, but they're my favourite episodes specific to dean and sam respectively. 1x03 showed us all we needed to know about dean in the third episode. he's traumatised by his circumstances but he had to be strong for sam, for his dad. he's good with kids. he cares so MUCH about people he doesn't even know. zeppelin rules. 3x11 is just. it's so fun. it's also heartbreaking. it's iconic, and another one of my earliest spn memories. I love it

ask me my 'top 5' anything

#moogs bestie you really got me going asghdkgl IM SORRY (although not really)#you unleashed pandora's box #it's been a while since I've felt this many positive emotions towards spn so thank you <3 #honorable mention to 9x11 first born for peak chaotic sastiel energy #ask game #spn #about me

OOOOH LILI!!! tell me about “your body is the sistine chapel” wip!!

oh boy am i glad you asked about this! it's gonna be long so bare with me.

it's a known thing by now that dean was supposed to be tattoed and a smoker from ep one of spn, but the budget was too low for fake tattoes so we didn't get that.

it always felt stupid to me cause like they could've made his tattooes hidden by his clothes! like have him in a shirtless shot in ep one (there's the occasion too, when he washes up after being covered in mud, just have him putting his layers on!) and then call it a day until the next time you have to write him shirtless. and then as the show progresses and gets more money maybe add some tats to his forearms, since those are the only thing we see often enough (there's not many shirtless scenes, or even in short sleeves tbh!)

so one day i think two years ago now? i went on a whole rant about this and came up with a timeline for which tats dean winchester would get. at first he'd get them in placese easily hidden so that john doesn't know, but then there's a injury in one of those parts and john finds out, so he starts getting them in other places too, but still hidden (no arms), and then after john dies he gets some there too.

i have a super detalied spreadsheet with placement, meaning, and age for each tattoo, this image for the visual of where in his body every tattoo that i came up with is placed. (yes, the yellow dots are tattoos too)

and this fic has the lines that i am most proud of, i think i'll never write something as good as these words and i am very okay with it.

Years later, when he's in bed with Cas, his head resting over the moth and his hand tracing the anti-possession tattoo lines, basking in the after sex glow, he asks the angel. "Did you take care of my tattoos when you rebuilt me?" "Of course, Dean." "Why?" Castiel stays silent for a while, and Dean thinks he won’t get a reply. Then, Castiel gets up on his elbow, to look Dean in the eyes. He stares back, his hand caressing his lover’s arm. "When I held your soul I could see its beauty, I could see why they called you the Righteous Man,” the angel’s hand slides across Dean’s chest, resting it over the mark he left all those years ago, “but when I saw your body I was… in awe. You decided to decorate your skin with beautiful art, to honor the people you loved with it. You treat your body as a weapon, but your body is the Sistine Chapel. It is a place of worship, and you graced me with the privilege to do so.” Dean ducks his head, trying to hide, but Castiel has other plans; he sits up and grabs the hunter’s face with both hands, keeping their eyes locked. Castiel's eyes are shining with tears, but he's smiling, he's happy and Dean can only see love swimming in the sea of the angel's eyes. “I didn’t know this at the time; what moved me to restore your frescoes was the desire to keep you whole, to celebrate the artists who you entrusted with painting your walls forever. I was and will always be your curator.” Dean cries and can only kiss him, his beautiful angel. The day after, he adds new ink to his skin.

i don't have much more written and i still need to figure out some designs for some tats, but i'm going to try and post this for dean's birthday on the 24th of this month. we'll see what happens, but i really hope i manage, cause i love this fic so much and i don't want to let it rot in my folder forever.

Ahah! Fren you think you are gonna come to my blog on this, the day of my daughters middle school awards show (it actually was) and think your slick giving me so many numbers.

WELL I TAKE THIS CHALLENGE

And give you #15 and every odd number before it!

Welp. I don't know if this plan has backfired or not... on the one hand, lots to answer; on the other... lots to answer. (jk; this is awesome and I'm thriving :) Thanks, dear!) Also, congrats to your daughter!!!

However, you also, um. Forgot to tell me what ship/character/film/show/etc each number belonged with. So. Whoops. Now I'm going to heckle you in Discord until you give me the criteria for each. (The actual answers will all be mine, though, so.)

EDIT. In order, they are: Deckerstar, Thirteen Ghosts, Count of Monte Cristo, Supernatural, TenRose, Destiel, Whoever you hate more Max or Sam, GentleBeard

ANYWAY. (keep reading because someone sent me eight different numbers)

(Fandom Ask Music Game)

1. A song that reminds me of Deckerstar: Definitely "Wicked Game", no question. Every time I think of/hear that song, my brain replays the scene with breaking-down Luci playing it in his red robe thing in the penthouse after coming to the conclusion that he couldn't tell Chloe he loved her. It's the first thing that came to mind when I read this part of the ask, so, yeah, maybe there's a better answer, but this is my instinctive one.

3. A song I wish was in Thirteen Ghosts: Well, someone's making things difficult. I think I'll say "One" by Metallica. It's pretty pertinent to the ghosts and/or to Dennis (kinda one and the same, at some points), and it fits the vibes of the film, imo. Plus, I just love Metallica.

5. A song that I associate with The Count of Monte Cristo because of exactly one (1) applicable lyric: You know. This is way harder than you think. Because there's an entire CoMC musical that's now invading my head and not applicable as an answer. BUT. I guess I'll say "Macavity: The Mystery Cat". (aka, it's the first think I came up with and it works decently well, so!) The pertinent line: "And when you think he's half asleep, he's always wide awake." (and bonus points for "He's outwardly respectable/I know he cheats at cards.") It's very reminiscent of the way the Count looks aboveboard but is actually doing his best to take them all down,

7. A song the fandom constantly talks about fitting Supernatural perfectly but I just Don’t See It: (EDIT: I realized after I already wrote this that I turned "SPN" into "Destiel," but it's fineeee. tbf, the only songs I know people connect to the show --- Destiel or otherwise --- and don't agree with are Hozier songs and "Angel With a Shotgun"... which I only don't agree with because I'm a heathen and haven't heard them. SO. Destiel it is.) Anyway... "On My Own" from Les Miserables. I love this song so much, but it is not at all accurate for the show. (Note: Do I think that either Dean or Cas would have their perception be that it's accurate, yes. Do I think it's actually accurate, no. Does that make any sense?)

9. A song I wish didn’t remind me of TenRose but it does: I assume Doomsday doesn't count? Uh... Okay, got one. "We've Only Just Begun" by the Carpenters. And I confess freely that this is biased by my adoration of 1408 (the film; I didn't much care for the short story, tbh), but. That song is creepy af. it sounds soooo optimistic. And it's just got this edge of darkness. And if that's not 10Rose in a nutshell --- everything sounds bright and happy but you just know something's about to go wrong --- I don't know what is.

11. A song that makes me feel happy about Destiel: Back with the hard ones, I see. How am I supposed to be happy about a ship that practically definesssss tragedy? Like, "All Outta Love" makes me happy for its connection to them, but the context is tragic, so it's not my answer? And I have a bunch of applicable Hadestown songs, but those all hurt? I guess I'll say "Every Woman in the World". In addition to just fitting, it's also Air Supply --- so a connection to the aforementioned "All Outta Love" --- and has been used in both Slither (a family-favorite film) and a romantic comedy starring Jeffrey Dean Morgan (which was good enough that it overwhelmed my chronic dislike of rom-coms).

13. A song I associate with my least favorite character: They. Are. The same. People. Ma'am. But anyway... I guess I'll go with Sam because I have a good answer (and it's not actually anti!!!): "Walk in the Dark" by David Byrne. In my head, it's largely Azazel POV as he looks in on Sam as one of his "kids", but I still view it as a "Sam" song. If that makes any sense?

15. Top five songs I would add to a Gentlebeard playlist: Definitely "The Chain", for obvious reasons (if you've seen the show). "Ain't No Sunshine", definitely. "Promises in the Dark", too. "Jolene" for the ouch. And... "I Will Survive". Because that's basically what Ed's doing when he turns into the Kraken, and that hurts.

If you're noticing that these songs are largely in order by artist/band name, it's absolutely not because I started going through my playlist for inspiration. Not at all. Obviously.

Thanks for the ask, jezebel :)

I just kind of have to get this off my chest for a second:

Guys, sorry I've been mostly MIA. I will get back to answering asks soon. And I know I've been behind on my scene breakdowns. Hopefully, I'll get those up and running again very soon.

I have to admit, I've been frustrated for the last few days. Those who also follow SPN know about the SPN/Jared Padalecki stuff that occurred over the weekend plus the fandom drama. I'm still trying to process, not so much what Jared said but the fact that he literally (though most likely unintentionally) just enabled all of the asshole homophobic fucks to continue their harassment, bullying, and invalidating on not only fans of that show but also for a young generation of LGBTQIA+ fans that look up to him as well as Jensen and Misha and the cast. I still cannot believe that he literally did that within the time span of one question, in response to the question that wasn't even directed at him or had anything to do with him, and to answer a woman who literally said from the outset that she had kids who identified as queer. Within the time span of one question, he just set the conversation back God knows how many years. He literally equated queer love to incest and even hinted at pedophilia (I know that wasn't his intention but that is definitely how it came out). He then even basically said that queer love is all about sex. And I...I'm just having a hard time getting past that right now tbh. I have so many drafts sitting in my drafts box right now of posts where I just went off since Saturday but I haven't posted them and I won't. I want to focus on the positive on this site and put positive energy out there (not negativity), love is always louder, but right now I have to admit I'm struggling with that. So I've kept mostly quiet, except for reblogging a post here and there, while also feeling like I needed to at least post once in regards to something else Jensen had said that was obviously taken the wrong way (before this cluster of an answer by Jared was brought to light). But I've been pretty quiet for the most part.

Then I came on tonight to look on the Buddie tag, hoping for some positivity, and finding more homophobic crap just absolutely has me going 'okay I need to step away, this is getting too deep for me'. (if it's still bothering me when I'm logged out and I'm thinking about it while at work, it's getting too deep for me and I need to take a step back) Not because of the ships, shows, stories, or actors themselves, but because I cannot fucking believe that it is 2021 and we are still dealing with this homophobic crap. That's a little disheartening to me.

But regardless, I'll be fine. I just need to get into a better head space where I can go back to tuning that bullshit out. But on the flip side, I hope each and every member of the LGBTQIA+ community knows that regardless of all of this assholery the past few days, that you are valid, you are loved, and you deserve to be loved. There is no difference between hetero love and queer love, no matter what some of these idiotic people try to tell you. Love is love. Whether you're a woman who loves a man, a man who loves another man, a woman who loves a man and a woman, an asexual person who loves another asexual person, and all of the other spectrums - all of it is love. It is not equated to something as vile as incest or pedophilia. It is not wrong, it is not taboo, it is not all about sex. And this is just how I personally feel: while I'm proud to be a part of the community, I want people to see us as we are. We are NOT the other. The narrative on this needs to change, for good. I am not an other. You are not an other. We should all be one single group, together. That group namely being human beings. Who we choose to love (and who we choose to take to bed or not take to bed) should not change that fact.

Diversity doesn't mean division. Diversity is meant to be a beautiful thing that is supposed to exist within unity and absolutely be all-inclusive. Different does not mean other. Different simply means different, not partitioning. I look forward to the day that society finally figures this out and silences the homophobic rhetoric and behavior forever.

But for now, I'm going to log out, go outside and take a walk, turn up the music on my ear buds, and try to process this anger and massive disappointment so I can get back to enjoying Buddie and all other things I enjoy on here.

See you soon, peeps. Love and light. <3

1/2 Hello, I had a thought regarding jarpad and I had to share it with someone and to agree with an earlier anon, you seem to be one of the more level-headed blogs out there so I'm sharing with you. I was checking out the NOLA convention from this weekend where JA confirms he's going to direct Walker in February and I noticed Jared's reaction and something about it kind of left a bad taste in my mouth?

2/3 Because it's the same reaction he keeps having each time it's been brought up in the past two conventions. And then I read the latest article interview Jared had and again he gave the line of really wanting JA to direct and how welcome he'd be if he stepped on set. And it just is like, why does he keep trying to sell this whole JA being part of the Walker Fam thing? Like I genuinely don't get it. And then it hit me.

3/3 Is jarpad purposely making sure JA is involved with the Walker Fam so it fully gets SPN Fam over? Like the JA fans who maybe aren't fans of his or the show? Is this all one big sales push to get better numbers for the show? That if JA gives his blessing in a way and is involved, then that will make it better? It feels like one big sales pitch and PR move to me. I'm sure jarpad is excited to work with JA again but yeah, thoughts?

I haven’t seen any videos or anything from the panel, so I’m not sure what his reaction was to the mention of it, and I apologize!

I don’t think it’s because Jared wants SPN over. Not anymore anyway. In the beginning of the Walker stuff, Jared seemed more than willing to drop SPN and move on to being the leading man and the star that CW needed. But he didn’t want to fully let go, of course! So he started up the WalkerFam and then MantraFam, piggy-backing off of the SPNFamily and cheapening it all. When he realized that people weren’t as stoked about this show (rightfully so, it’s not great), he backtracked and started to be a little less harsh on SPN.

As dumb as I think Jared acts in certain things, he’s not stupid. He knows that having Jensen involved with the show will get people to watch. I couldn’t tell you how many people would actually tune in just to support Jensen unless he was on screen though. I think if he was to make a guest appearance, that episode’s numbers would probably be higher than any episode of Walker just from JA and SPN fans combined. Just directing though? I think people will tune in to see if he can make ANY improvements, even just in one episode. But it’s DEFINITELY a PR thing.

Personally, I think that Jared uses the SPNFamily and JA when it’s convenient for him. That’s a reason that a lot of people got tired of him and the “family” stuff because he was making it seem disingenuous by slapping the word onto everything he did. SPN Family was built over 15 years, Jared thinks he can just make Walker Fam and Mantra Fam a thing to get views and clicks. He really acts like it’s all about money to him.

I hope that Jensen keeps pushing it off tbh. If I was him, I wouldn’t want to be associated with that dumpster fire, ESPECIALLY after Jared’s prequel tantrum and his lack of support/excitement for Jensen’s movie news with Rust.

Jared made his bed, he can put on a Stetson and lay in it.

top 5 spn characters

helllll yeah.

5. ruby

her impact!!! BEST villain ever! she’s so evil that she earned by sam’s trust by….genuinely caring about him!! keeping him from drinking!!! saving his and his brother’s life multiple times!!! training him!!! making him stronger!! she also just has such a cool story, from her past as a witch to her history with alistair & lilith to her time in hell. she may have fallen for the target a little but she got her job DONE and waited until after the reveal to make her epic speech. she served cunt and died, fr.

4. bobby

BOBBYYYYY. his dynamic with the brothers is just so important to me. he’s seen them at their highs and lows and supported them all through it. and then once you learn HIS story??? he was so sure he’d never be a father or a good one…and yet!! death’s door is a guaranteed cryfest every time I watch it.

3. rowena

it's a miracle a female character as complex and flawed as her got to be a part of this show, but boy am I glad she was. she never hides who she is and in fact celebrates the fun & evil parts of her, but there’s so much more to her than meets the eye. centuries of hurt, pain, and trauma that only motivate her to be stronger and better. she thought she was beyond redemption but got it anyways. all while being a hot, powerful witch MILF? no one’s doing it like her. I…I love her. <3

2. billie

LOOK YOUR HONOR. as the lawful neutrals of spn, the reapers are just my favorite in general (they’re just trying to do their job!!!!) but billie changed the GAME. she's so fun but also has such a respect for the rules. she never lets the winchesters forget she can yeet them into the empty at any given time. she makes dean sing a password to get into hell. she calls them "mario and luigi." she gets killed and simply comes back with a promotion. I also genuinely love how she changes and evolves as Death. while she remains dedicated to the natural order, she becomes less harsh about it and even sympathetic to dean and rowena. it’s so fun to see them go from openly hating the winchesters to being amused and begrudging to them to understanding their part in the bigger picture. it leads to so many good moments, i.e. realizing dean WANTING to die makes it no fun for her especially since it wasn’t even his time

(sidenote and this probably goes without saying but the fact that they tried to retcon everything she was about to make another “manipulative” villain in s15 is my villain origin story. especially when the point she was trying to make all along ended up being the final theme of the show: that the winchesters need to stop the resurrections and stop making exceptions for themselves. they were the ONLY true neutral character and it should’ve stayed that way)

...ANYWAYSSSS they're just such a fun "tell it like it is" character and the fact that their actress headcanons them as she/he/they is just the perfect cherry on top. they deserved to reap god and run the place <3

1. castiel

hannah was right! HE’S the reason!!! like I don’t even know what to say about him without sobbing and I'm sure many other people have said better but like!!! he’s possibly my favorite fictional character just…ever!!! he's this ancient being who's seen the dawn of time and creation of man...but he loves guinea pigs and Beyonce and is a dad and is a GAY dad and I just!!! there’s so many weird layers to him and he just became more lovable and endearing as time went on, and truly became the heart of the show.

honorable mentions: like so many but eileen, rufus, crowley, kevin, all the waywards, garth, charlie, jack, jo, naomi, etc. come to mind first. oh and sam and dean I GUESS (kidding kidding I love them too I swear <3)

also, shout-out to my boy Death too because tbh he is basically is a tie for billie's spot for me. iconic entrances, iconic lines, iconic actors…I love them both so much. this IS a reapers and Death stan account.

put “top 5” anything in my ask and I will answer

#thank you whoever you are!! I have way too many favorites so this was hard lol #spn had way too many cool side characters for their own good #asks #ask game #long post #castiel #billie spn #billie supernatural #rowena macleod #bobby singer #ruby spn #ruby supernatural

I think some destiel fans, particularly those who really love Dean (and Jensen) or love both characters (and actors) equally, become a bit sensitive about the multi shipping thing because quite a few Cas (and Misha) loving destiel shippers on here come across as pretty anti Dean (and also anti Jensen. Even those who claim to love cockles) sometimes. Whether that’s intentional or not, I don’t know, but it’s the way some of their posts come across. I don’t personally multi ship, but I don’t mind when people do either. I’m just not a huge fan of when it’s framed as Dean is awful so Cas deserves better, particularly when those same people are basically demanding that Jensen must answer all of their destiel questions in a way that would satisfy them and allude to him hating destiel and being homophobic if he doesn’t.

Which, if you don’t mind me ranting for minute, is a whole separate topic that annoys me. I don’t understand why some fans can’t grasp that it’s easier for Misha to be openly supportive of destiel than it is for Jensen. Unlike Misha, Jensen is caught in the middle between all of the groups of fans. And while I don’t think he particularly cares about pleasing the wincesties, as one half of the brothers that the show was originally based around, he does have to toe the line between the non shippers and hellers far more than Misha does. So yeah, I don’t expect him to change his tune about how fans can interpret certain scenes as they wish, because that’s the most diplomatic answer he can give that won’t completely alienate any fan group. A good portion of the non shippers (and all of the wincesties) are going to hate Misha no matter what, so he has no reason to be quite so diplomatic if he doesn’t want to. Plus, Misha is not the one who is producing more spn content and therefore needs to hold onto as many fans as possible in order to help make those projects successful.

who are you because I want to kiss you. I agree with you for the most part.

However, as someone who is pro-Jensen, pro-Misha, pro-Cockles and pro-Destiel, I have to strongly disagree that most pro-misha/cas fans are anti Jensen/dean and vice versa. Maybe it's because I follow all the right blogs who share my sentiments about Jensen/Misha/Cockles/Destiel so I haven't come across any such hate or antis. I also understand why people would be upset with Jensen for not agreeing with them because it's human nature when people we look up to don't agree with us. However, he has come a long way and in 2019 things started turning around.

I have spoken about this before. Yes Jensen is always the one caught in the middle of it all because he's damned if he agrees with one faction and damned if he doesn't agree with the other.

And also I believe that for Misha it's more that he knew that Cas' mission was always Dean and since Carver told him to play Cas as a jilted lover in 9x06 maybe he realized where they were going with this. Or maybe it's something else, I don't know.

As for Jensen and Destiel, it's funny because Jensen ―being the grump he is―was actually very supportive of Cas' 15x18 confession. He knew where the story was going because even at DCCON, 2019 ― Cockles Panel, he said that Dean would make a confession and tell Cas why he acts the way he does or something along those lines. There was also the point during that con where a fan said that Cas and Dean should kiss and make up and Jensen reiterated that statement and then laughed. So he is not opposed to Destiel as some people have led the fandom to believe. And it's true people get mad when he doesn't agree with them in their stance. I think people need to understand that he also has his own opinions on the issue and they should respect that as much as they want him to respect their perspective on the matter, they should learn to respect his as well. And as you said, him saying that people should interpret the 15x18 scene from Dean's POV as they deemed fit was actually really good because whether he admitted that Dean felt the same way for Cas or not, he would've gotten shit for it so that was the best route to go to avoid alienating anyone. I would've done the same thing if I were in his shoes tbh.

I answered a few asks about that aspect of multi-shipping so I won't get into it any further.

I hope I answered your ask because I feel like I said so much without saying anything at all. And you can come rant here whenever you want. I don't mind it.
