Jenkins et al writing ofmd: Blackbeard's crew wears leather in the Caribbean. Olu wears crocs. Stede reads the crew Pinocchio 110 years before it was published
me, writing ofmd fanfic: i must know exactly what kind of knot is used to tie down a sail or i'm a fraud
full offense, the idea that women don't belong in fandom over 30 is sexist. it's rooted in social norms that devalue women as physically and emotionally undesirable as they get older
also maybe consider that you're just weirded out by someone over 40 being comfortable with themselves and enjoying being found attractive and having a sexual sense of humor bc you think life ends at 23
i'll never forgive SPN for that last hunt being an unfinished job of John's, not when Cas mentioned the "daddy's blunt instrument" thing in 15x18. Dean was FINALLY told he's more than what John raised him to be and then he dies cleaning up one of John's messes
i just remembered that the real, historical, Blackbeard shot the real, historical Izzy in the leg and started Joker-laughing in the Starbucks drive-thru
the funniest thing SPN ever did was when Dean, Sam, and Mary showed up at Cas' secret nephilim-birthing hideout and Cas looked at all three of them and said: "Dean"
man i miss fandom_wank, having someone explain the drama with critical screencaps and links was way more convenient than trying to decipher thirty-five subtweets
tfw when you want to reread a fic you read eons ago but don't remember the author or the title so you're just searching random tags and keywords and filters on AO3 while wondering if you in fact hallucinated a story that never actually existed
someone write a SPN AU where everything is exactly the same except Dean has a bunch of hunter ex-boyfriends that he and Cas keep awkwardly bumping into after they finally get together
BREAKING: Minnesota governor declares state of emergency, activates the state's National Guard to respond to looting and violent protests in the Twin Cities over the death of George Floyd.
idc how goofy The Winchesters ends up being, if it gives me any amount of Dean Winchester back i will watch it with my face pressed to the television screen
thinking about Cas carrying Dean's soul out of Hell inside his grace in order to protect it, and how their weird personal space issues early on were just them unconsciously trying to recreate that sense of pure, transcendent intimacy

ngl i really think this is just about "new" fandom wanting to gatekeep all aspects of participation, they need this growing list of arbitrary rules so they cancel unbelievers at the drop of the hat
i'm sorry that you once assumed a guy is straight based solely on your spite against a fictional character and now that he's come out your discomfort is making you lash out
Dean Winchester, at 42 years-old, was finally able to recognize the good inside himself, the same good Cas saw from the very beginning. they changed 𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳. Dean taught Cas how to care about humanity, but Cas taught Dean how to care about himself 𝘩𝘪𝘮𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧
(since this escaped its enclosure i want to be clear: this is not happening! and very very very very probably will not happen ever! i was just making half a joke about Returning to the Old Ways)
i really just gotta live with the knowledge that Castiel, a being older than time, who was created as a celestial foot soldier, learned love in 12 short years. and then he embraced it so fully that feeling it and expressing it and sacrificing in the name of it made him happy
man if i see one more fanbrat tumblr post about how Old People™ need to get out of fandom i'll set fire to the internet, i was here first and i'll leave when i'm goddamned good and ready brenda
not Jared confirming the show killed Dean bc he was an "obstacle" to Sam having a "normal" life after multiple showsplainers told me that wasn't the case and that i was "reading things wrong"
i am
a) very excited about the prequel having a bisexual lead
b) fairly convinced the network will never actually let him have a boyfriend or show any interest in men
ok ok so not only did Cas learn love, he learned it in some of the dullest, drabbest parts if the American landscape. in boxcar diners and seedy motels. in the front seat of a car. in warehouses and cornfields. while working at a gas station. i'm ready to be launched into space
but if the first thing you said to a woman you've never met is "go take care of your kids", and you intend it as an insult, you might want to have a good long think about that
i cannot believe the show made a trailer for one of those Steddyhands. fics where Ed is acting so deranged that Izzy leaves to go find Stede and they Bond
ngl the "Izzy is straight" circular equine is the funniest shit i've seen in years. he's on a suck and fuck boat wearing leather, making anime eyes at his smoking hot boss and stroking his boss' boyfriend's lingerie curtains. actual gut-buster. i've got tears in my eyes.
so i've been percolating this Steddyhands get-together thing where Ed and Stede are reuinted and Izzy's just kinda hanging around, but then Ed discovers Izzy has spent the last 20+ years slutting around the Cairbbean and has an Extremely Normal reaction to this information
you're laughing, it's been 85 days since Castiel angel of the lord confessed his love for Dean Winchester and that scene still lives rent-free in my head and you're laughing
bibros really out there tagging Kripke's new show in crybaby tweets about a ship they hate from his old show bc someone working on the new show might ship the ship they hate from the old show, like... what?
"spn scenes that feel like hallucinations" for me it's when post-Purgatory Cas comes out of the bathroom all cleaned up and Dean gives him cartoon elevator eyes and squirms like he's hiding a boner
i've always thought the backhalf of Season 11 is where Dean's feelings for Cas really started shining through his emotional defenses. he was so upset, so tunnel-visioned about saving him
Cas using his dwindling grace to heal something mundane even though they're barely speaking; Dean letting him when he's told Cas not to bother for worse bc he misses the closeness
i think the funniest thing about SPN stan twitter is kids calling older fans "grandmas" like they're not out here capping for three dudes old enough to be their dads
what i love about the SPN fandom is that the drama is always balls-to-the -wall assinine. totally lulu. it couldn't be predicted with seven million bingo cards
the thing is, "Dean's death broke the cycle" takes frame Dean as an obstacle to Sam's "normal life" and that's shitty. he was a *person* and he deserved a life too. he shouldn't have had to sacrifice himself one last time
the thing about deancas is, these dudes are are so weighed down by low self-worth and unprocessed trauma that they're all raw, rough edges, and bc of that they've hurt each other. they've showed each other the worst parts of themselves. AND THEY STILL FOUND LOVE IN EACH OTHER.
imagine a finale where Dean lived and Cas came back and Sam felt content and comfortable retiring bc Dean had a life and hunting partner and wouldn't be alone
sometimes i read tweets and i'm like "are you sure you're a fan of the show? are you *sure*? bc it sounds like you were was just looking for something you could be mad about all the time"
November 19, 2021 i'm unplugging my wifi and crawling into a cave, if the SPN fandom is still Like This™ 9 months in, there's no way we're not summoning an actual demon on the one year anniversary
also like a certain show runner gives 314930 interviews about jilted wives and love triangles and then suddenly he's talking about "father figures" ???? ? ???
my one and only fic idea rn is a thing where Izzy is so unsettled by being buried on land that he rises out of his grave and crawls into the ocean. he becomes an eldritch sea horror and reunites with Jack who is also, conveniently, an eldritch sea horror
Con saying that Izzy is a romantic deep down has me spiraling about young Ed and Izzy falling in love but it getting chipped away over the years by the survivalist nature of piracy and the myth/legacy of Blackbeard
look, i will eventually stop bitching about the finale. but i'm never gonna be okay with what this show did to Dean, so if that's a problem you better head out now
