So I wandered over this little gem today.
Will put my thorough dragging of bronlies, especially the Kelloggs club, behind a cut to not wank up dashboards.
This. All of this. I love Jared and Sam, with all my heart, I really do. But I’ve never met anyone in the Castiel / destiel fandom that hated Jared or Sam. It just makes me sad that I can’t say the same the other way around.
Jared deserves better than what his fandom has become.
I can’t help but think that if a socially awkward (tho attractive) tree-topper is getting a person’s knickers in that much of a twist, maybe it’s time for that person to turn off the electronics, go outside, and remember that Supernatural isn’t real.
Seriously though. I’m comparatively new to both the fandom and Tumblr and I can’t figure out what the hell the point of hating Cas that much could possibly be…or how anyone could justify transferring dislike of a fictional character or plot into actual, real hatred of actual, real people. How does that even happen??
That’s just it. Their reality line is blurred. This is largely the same club that has convinced themselves that J2 are in a PR coverup for now-14-years. Most initial tinhats gave up and moved on after the first, or failing that, the second kid. But no, they continue to build grander and grander convoluded stories on already previously shattered premises they sweep under the rug, and further and further fail to differentiate the line of show-vs-reality the deeper the fall into Wonderland goes.
Under the cut will be a bunch of stuff discussing this on like, an actual psychology level.
that last part about sam content? that’s important too. “it feels like putting blogs through federal background checks” IT DOES IT VERY MUCH DOES. (sorry for the font change but man) i love sam, i love jared, but it’s so damn hard to make and find solo content for him that isn’t soiled or jumped on by that lot.
on top of that, it seems to be affecting jared and how he views sam’s endgame. only once in the past few years have i heard him actually talk about sam having a LIVING future (let me know if there’s more because i love to hear him have some positivity about sam)
more after the cut because this is getting long
Bruh. I have. So much shit to say, both on the subject of Sam and Dean being shipped together and the J2 ship. The whole wincest thing especially because that hits very close to home bc of how similar their (actual) (not the headcanoned incestual) relationship is to mine with my sister.
But also like. (1) I have no clue if this is the appropriate place to express that? (2) I also feel like i have so much to say on each, that (whilst they are UNDOUBTEDLY connected) I feel like I’d need to separate those things (3) Also, similarly, I feel the need to separate the whole part of how these people then seem to actually hate Cas and Misha because of it? (4) I’ve been holding off making my own post about it because I’m kinda one-foot-in-one-foot-out of this fandom and there’s definitely a lot I DON’T know. Also I really don’t want to get into a clusterfuck of people constantly being angry at me, especially so soon after the massive TERF thing and then the Snape people.
Ugh.
Basically. Like what is even the appropriate way to go about this? I always feel like I’m missing a bunch of unspoken (or at least never spoken to Me) rules?
**Sorry this is so long. Im on mobile, but I’ll see if I can go back in and add a cut on the computer.
honestly go for it. (only rules for tumblr is tag trigger warnings)
anything you need help filling in the gaps on? i’ll gladly help where i can. i’m sure @intelligentshipper and others would be glad to help you with any info you need help with.
