official or not official that is the question

here’s the destiel shirt in question:

image

dat copy line doe

image

BUT ITS NOT OFFICIAL

ok then wtf is this then?

image

hmm. almost like they’re an official licensed vendor or something.

the answer to the question from the title? is YES it’s official.

also to the argument that dear old nancy brought up: “they know they can get money out of you”

… yeah. that’s the whole point of them making a product to sell. they wouldn’t have spent all this money brainstorming, printing, and adding it to their website and stores if they thought they wouldn’t make money out of it.

btw?

i CAN’T. i’ve been laughing so hard that i managed to miss the buss home and have to wait another hour to catch the next one. this… WOW WHAT A WEEK

Heeee! Hot Topic is selling a “Destiel” shirt. (It’s actually called that. And the description on the website says “There’s definitely something between Supernatural’s Dean and Castiel, but how deep does the love go? That’s for Dean and Castiel to know, and for us fans to wait and find out.” (They’re also STILL selling the “Jody & Donna & Claire & Alex & Patience & Kaia” Wayward Sisters shirt… and yes, I confess, I just bought both. ;D )

It must already be sold out online because I can’t see it. Fun!! And yeah, I jumped at the chance for a Wayward Sisters shirt— I actually have two now, one was a gift. I love them.

LMAO!

The fact it’s sold out makes it even better 😉

via @casloveshisfreckles

Exactly. This is what strikes me in particular about this, uh, sudden and unexpected merch drop.

It sold out right off the bat! Driven by popularity. I think @intelligentshipper may have some statistical input that fleshes this out? *serves cake*

First of all, yes, this is official, merchandised, WB-cleared swag.

second of all, what end would you like your statistic input on? The ratings? The social media engagement? The censuses? The google trends? Because any way you cut that cake it tells that it is, indeed, all the same story.

I’m a bit occupado right now to commit, but you can probably go to my blog > Menu > Frequent tags > demos/demographics/stats/statistics/ratings/any related tags and find a bunch of it. I honestly have to sort of recompose it.

There is no ambiguity on this posting. It is literally a will-they-won’t-they tag line on a shirt listed as Destiel.

Merch isn’t showrunning, but it IS an interesting shift. I just spent an hour looking to see if there’s ever been official merch for other ships, and even certain canon-consummated ones like Megstiel, I haven’t found any yet.

Sorry for vague reply, kinda multitasking but trying to stay on all the tags I’m getting rn.

To encourage restock of the official Destiel shirt,

intelligentshipper:

A friend of mine made a post here on twitter, and I’ve included some of it in the various reblogs but this is worth a committed post for us to start spreading around.

The Destiel shirt sold out like hotcakes (surprised.gif) but do the following to signal the need for more:

Merch isn’t showrunning, but it’s extremely interesting that this is the first official ship swag (even ships like M*gstiel that had canon consummation never got official swag, have fun digging to try to prove me wrong) – and there is no ambiguity on the will-they-won’t-they tag line they’re selling it under. No harm in simultaneously getting your official Destiel merch AND sending a profitable message to those on high.

They sold out literally overnight. Only the plus size shirt remains, though the number in stock is unknown.

And yes. They are quite literally official Destiel shirts.

So go on out there. Enjoy. Go get’em, y’all.

Nowhere does it state that it is official licensed merchandise. Keep dreaming.

lmao

bro

ok so your logic is highly flawed. “it’s not officially liscenesed”

well then apparently wb needs to get with their lawyers because an unauthorized vendor is selling merch with their ip on it

except NO, hot topic is an officially liscensed vendor. so it’s official

btw for those interested, here’s the link for the plus size shirt. size 3 is the only one left. all the jr/other sizes sold out before 10am est today.

man. it’s almost like hot topic knows where the money is at or something

Let us forever remember

Dear Diary,

I may have to begin upkeeping daily updates.

Two days ago, we received spoilers on season 14 via pre-screenings, with promises of multiple punches in the face to antis in mere minutes.

Yesterday, we received the gift of Jensen merrily filming Misha Pieing Trump* in the face.

Today, 10/4/2018, Mitch Kosterman, brother of Clif, J2’s bodyguard, formerly in close association with the Kelloggs Club, retweeted this.

image

I am unsure the state the fandom will be in. There is one week left in hiatus and this shows no sign of slowing.

Honorable mention: J2 Hats are still arguing and angry about Jensen’s last interview and Jared’s lack of appearance. This storm may take the full week to subside.

image

Dear Diary,

It has not even been an hour, much less a full day, but the updates are still coming.

Fandom is reaching dangerous levels of JenMish. Everything is becoming rainbow. Please send some monochrome color palettes. 

I am SO IN for all of this rn.

Dear Diary,

People are staring at me while I am writing in my diary and aggressively eating popcorn, enraptured. Also, it has been brought to my attention that I failed to incorporate major updates of 2k18, such as The Ineffable Post. Perhaps, of course, because it is Ineffable. Apparently I deleted the memory base due to the level of personal exposure for the subjects related to the event, but it has been restored from my mental recycling bin. This, partnered with Mitch’s retweet, is threatening to make *me* think in Cockles wavelengths.

Help is needed, situations are dire. Packaged heteronormativity is urgently requested.

I am l i v i n g

Dear Diary,

The saga rapidly continues, unfolding before my very eyes. Mitch Kosterman seems to be taking some kind of stand for and about Cockles shippers. I am admittedly shocked by this course of events.

image
image

The tweet is still there.

image

The follow remains.

I commit these thoughts to text to ensure come-morning that this wasn’t some sort of lucid hallucination. 

*scratches in a late update* 14 years of awareness of anti behaviors cited directly from Mitch to those apologizing for the J2-hats currently hate tagging him.

image

Is this the real life

is this just fantasy

Shamelessly reblogging myself to add:

This is my second greatest moment on Twitter.

OMG THE “I LOVE THIS SO MUCH” IS MY TWEET I HAVENT BEEN BACK ON YET YIKES

Mitch: retweets a nice video of Jensen & Misha and may or may not have missed the caption.

Antis: do their usual and start harping on at him over something trivial.

Fandom: apologises for tinhats and supports him.

Mitch: Don’t worry I don’t care, ive known they’re idiots for 14 years nothing’s changed. Follows a bunch of cockles accounts. Doesn’t delete the original retweet.

Well this escalated quickly.

Dear Diary,

I slept. Mitch Kosterman’s rebellion did not.

In other news, the Emu Mob RP Bunker caught flack for a DeanCas kiss instigated by twizzlers. Complaining was ripe, but their follower accumulation remains the same as ever.

Mitch Kosterman is more involved in the fandom than I am at the moment.

Dear Diary,

The date is October 5th, 2018. It is hard to believe the above transpired in less than one day.

It seems Mitch Kosterman’s stand has quieted, but not been forgotten. His follower gain rate increased more than six fold above his average yesterday and trickle will continue. A vast amount of Cockles and Destiel accounts have been followed since.

We leave that, for now, to instead include this released special photoshoot for Halloween, in which an inclusive photographer seems to have been chosen.

Godspeed my J2M warriors.

I love this diary 💞🎶

Dear Diary,

It is still October 5th. I just witnessed JensenDean tackle a wrestler-cowboy-biker in pink panties over spunking up his car with pie.

I’m fairly certain I’ve entered an alternate universe.

This is some good fucking food….

Dear Diary,

It is October 6th, 2018. 

Hottopic.com is now selling licensed Destiel merch.

I repeat, hottopic.com is now selling licensed Destiel Merch.

Before my first cup of coffee, I was alerted that this shirt, with this blurb, is able to be located on the site by searching “Destiel.”

image

I found this before ingesting coffee on the morning – so early I initially attached my diary to someone else’s diary blog by mistake. I may have been doodling in someone else’s notebook in my excited haze.

WHAT A WILD MONTH IT’S BEEN

I HAVE TO KEEP PINCHING MYSELF TO SEE OF THIS IS REAL OR IF I FINALLY GOT RUN OVER BY A SHITTY DRIVER AND THIS IS REALLY JUST A COMA DREAM

oh fake irs docs: that’s totes legal!

soooo this is happening

under the cut will be my analysis of it

did you notice a problem with the form? did it feel weird?

image

i pointed out at least five

for reference, here’s what several REAL irs forms look like

image
image
image

what’s weird is why is she mocking up docs from like google image search when she can download the real and more recent ones????

like that’s so much easier to fake shit that way.

im at a loss to understand Vic’s logic at this point.

chubdean:

iamthearbitraryavian:

chubdean:

i don’t know about you but i’m pretty excited for castiel’s facial expression the first time he sees dean’s face again and realizes that the one person he would sacrifice anything for is still alive

And then for him to blink and his eyes go back and for him to realize he’s lost Dean Winchester more than he has ever lost him before and he has no power to save him.

this was about s10 but it can now kind of apply to s14….
