I Want To Believe This, And It’s The Most Plausible Scenario. But There’s A Part Of Me That Thinks

I hate what this campaign is doing to fandom. And I’m one of the people who have expressed critical opinions on Jensen’s FB and basically been told to grow a sense of humour.  The GOOD thing is that a lot of people ARE critical and are (finally) speaking out, consequences be damned. I wish I understood Jensen’s motivations for taking part in this. 

Just want to say how much I love you all before I leave. I couldn’t take it anymore and posted my opinion of this creepy, stalkery yana campaign on twitter. Even my best friend turned on me. So, I’m out.

I’ll keep my hat polished, but I won’t be part of the #SPNFamily anymore. I don’t need an adopted family that hurts me more than my RL family does.

Love you, love the Js, love Supernatural. I just don’t have the strength to fight anymore.

We will be so sorry not to have you here but I can’t even blame you at this point. There is nothing funny about stalking. It’s horrifying. I saw someone suggest that someone should tell Misha and Jensen politely that this is triggering and a bad idea, but every time someone tries to do just that, they get attacked. I just went on FB and saw one lady very politely suggest this very thing and she got called a bibro, a hater, and a bitch with a stick up her ass. This is of course coming from fans who are pretending to be so supportive of mental health issues. The truth is that they do not give a rat’s ass about mental health or this charity. They only care about it from a shipping perspective and it’s gross. 

Please come and talk to us any time you want to either on here or by direct messaging. We love you and support you, okay? Don’t forget that. <3 –Admin N

Lucifer Sam was so good Pink Floyd wrote a song about him more than 40 years before he even came into being :)

This about sums it up.

I read it somewhat differently. It could be about shipping, but the whole “own personal stories” made me think about Jared’s AKF campaign. He started a good thing, and now fans think dumping their emotional baggage on him during cons is perfectly reasonable.

Creation changed their policy about questions. This is on the screen at Vancon right now.

I just said this to ahillmadeof42dogs , but I decided to also make a post. Honestly sometimes it really does feel like the writers are ruining the show on purpose. I think it’s more likely that they just don’t care at all, and are doing whatever will bring in the most viewers in their opinion. Which duh, it’s a business, but the lack of deference to the integrity of the story and characters that were set up for 6+ is still insulting and sad. Supernatural has lasted so long because of it’s loyal fanbase, overhauling the show is a big “fuck you” to that fan base.

Losing the blue collar Americana vibe, brightening the show, subtly changing up the wardrobe, giving them apparent endless funds, as we never see them hustle or scam. Ripping the boys apart, having Dean nod along to a song about Mary’s death, taunting us with the fake samulet and then immediately getting rid of that too, the boys staying separate even when they leave the bunker, Dean doing “Bitch” “Jerk” with everybody except Sam, now someone random dude being allowed to call Sam “Sammy”? Switching out urban legends for fairy-tales and straight up fiction (Oz). All this shit on top of the lack of scary villains and general OOC-ness? What’s left of the original show?!

A few years back I’d have been saddened by this news. But they killed this show a long time ago, and I’ve waited for this announcement ever since. They milked this cash cow for too long. Bye, bye, Supernatural. You were good once. Like so many others before you, you didn’t know the time of your visitation. Rest in peace. I won’t be missing you.

My sympathies to anyone actually made any degree of sad by the Instagram announcement that the show is ending on season 15.  I would never suggest the show had to end as long as other people were still enjoying it - if I keep watching beyond the point it’s fun, that’s my issue.

However.  I can’t say my reaction is anything but 100% THANK FUCKING CHUCK.  The great parts of the show will always exist for us to go back to and enjoy.

I hope everyone involved gets exactly the followup opportunities that they deserve for the quality of the work they delivered these last few seasons.

Bye bye Carver, and bye bye show. Singer was the one who brought Castiel back in the first place. Under his direction Misha will be made a lead, and the Gruesome Twosome (Buckner/Ross-Leming) will be made head writers.

Supernatural Names New Showrunners as Jeremy Carver Moves to Frequency

Supernatural will be heading into Season 12 with new leadership. TVLine has learned that showrunner Jeremy Carver will step down at the conclusion of the current 11th season to focus on his new CW …

HOLY SHIT. 

How long does a Google search take, honestly? S1 has the best rating, S2 and 4 is tied at second. S9 holds the fourth spot (for whatever reason), and S3 is 5th. S10 has the lowest overall rating. 

Just to put it into perspective- Season 1 averaged 4.52 million viewers Season 10 averaged 2.02 million viewers

No wonder they seem kind of offended by the fan’s casual dismissal of the first seasons. 

I never thought the day would come when a video promoting a campaign supposedly in support of raising awareness about mental health issues would give me an anxiety attack.

Wow that new video of Misha’s is creepy as fuck.

And then the whole dubious ticket booking service for the SA exhibition went to hell, and made this day even shittier. 💔

My heart is broken into a million pieces 💔

Please be okay, babe.

Far be it from me to defend Creation (whose business practices I find dubious at best), and I stopped watching SPN after s11, but I had to comment on this on Twitter. The tweet doesn’t mention any fandom or any specific episode that led to the decision, yet people were jumping to conclusions like crazy. One insightful poster suggested that it might actually be about ‘Stranger Things’ (a show and fandom I know nothing about, but which apparently has an underage fandom), but it was drowned out by the loud, entitled SPN crowd.

Last night, Creation tweeted this: 

You notice what’s not on there? No mention of which fandoms, which cons, nothing. But hellers immediately lost their shit:

Big surprise, huh? Funny how they instantly knew it applied to them. Of course, the biggest fallacy in these tweets is that Jensen was fine with it, he was laughing, he loved it. That’s not how the girl who had it signed described it. She said the volunteer encouraged her to ambush him with it and when she did, he looked grumpy and uncomfortable. Maybe because she just shoved porn in his face? But no. They’re convinced that was just an act on his part, that he would have refused if he didn’t like it. Except that by the time that volunteer let him be ambushed, this option was gone. If he had refused, he’d be labelled a homophobe by them. AGAIN. 

The thing that makes me the sickest are the ones who keep saying “he looked uncomfortable but he really liked it. He wouldn’t have laughed if he didn’t like it.” Do they realize they’re using sexual predator language? “He was asking for it! Sure he looked uncomfortable but he smiled so clearly he wanted it.” Gross. 

And then (OF COURSE) we have the bunch who think none of the rules ever apply to them. They’re the ones who are going to really ruin it for everyone because they have every intention of doing it again. 

Here’s hilarious irony for you: 

Nope. Wrong. Blame the ones who decided it was a good idea to have them sign BDSM porn over their own genitals. Because I’ll tell you right now- lots of fans complain to Creation about stuff and they rarely (if ever) listen. The only people Creation actually care about is the talent. So as much as I love that these drama queens are giving us credit, it’s a lot more likely that Jensen said something after the last con. 

And hey, here’s a helpful guideline: If you have to bring a backup thing to get autographed because you think what you want signed is inappropriate? IT’S INAPPROPRIATE. Don’t bring it and put that on the actors. Have some damn sense and we wouldn’t have this problem. 

(and bonus points to the girl who feels PERSONALLY VICTIMIZED BY WINCESTERS AND NONSHIPPERS WHO DON’T LIKE HER SHIP lol)
