In honor of the THIRD bronly meme that’s floating around, I’m just going to set this landmark here and say, “bless this week.” They’re getting richer by the day.
My girlfriend almost crashed from laughing her ass of when I read over the phone the new “it isn’t a mixtape, it’s just a bunch of Dean’s favorite songs put on a cassette” anti company line.
So this isn’t a post, it’s just a bunch of words composed into a topic on the internet. I’d take a screenshot of myself with the dictionary, but Nancy the Destiel Shipper made me promise not to post it. But I guess this isn’t a post so maybe I can have a friend draw it for me.
In other news Dean’s car isn’t a car it’s just a transport carriage on wheels.
there’s ANOTHER meme out there? holy shit. also this post is golden
I’ve seen a lot of “where is this from” like in your tags, so I’ll tuck this behind a cut.
Holy shit what a bunch of nonsense they think of. Taking care of the tape like you did I need to focus on the “it was only a little moment with no significance to just teach Cas about music” claim because
1) with all the time he spent in that car you think he doesn’t know all of Dean’s fav tracks and just about music in general? Hello?
2) why have it at all then. There was no context leading up to that that, certainly no plot context, indicating Cas needed to learn about music.
What a faulty narrative. Goodness gracious.
Bronlies are forever pressed, bitter, and angry.
It’s been a decade, guys, reconsider your life choices you’re this hateful and with so much energy being dedicated to it.
So we were chatting about this a bit earlier (by we I mean me, @tinkdw and @margarittet) and I find the whole thing infinitely fascinating. The leaps and bounds that these people are putting in to try to disprove the mixtape is crazy. The very phrase “it’s not a tape, it’s a selection of songs by one band: hence the lack of mix” is just fundamentally wrong and makes the writer seem extraordinarily dumb.
If the cassette tape is a home made selection of songs chosen specifically by one individual to gift to another, then it is a mixtape, regardless of whether all those songs are from the same artist or not. If it’s not a direct copy of an artists album, then it is a mixtape.
@intelligentshipper mentioned this under the cut, but I feel it needs to be stressed again because the distinction is evidently lost on anyone who is willing to sacrifice intelligence for ship hatred.
Dean’s top Zepp tracks is a cassette tape that he made himself, of his carefully selected favourite Led Zeppelin songs. It is not a random cassette of Zepp II or IV or Houses of the Holy or whatever album Dean might have considered his fave. Oh no. It was a mix of Dean’s favourites.
How utterly idiotic must you be to deny this fundamental canon fact?
However, as I was pondering on this earlier it occurred to me that there is a chance that this isn’t even down to sheer idiocy. These people know fully well that Dean made Cas a mixtape, and all the romantic connotations that this heartfelt gift imply. If they didn’t, they wouldn’t be so loud about it. No, their utter denial that the thing exists is intrinsically linked to their hatred of Destiel to begin with.
Imagine being so utterly focused on your hatred that it blinds you to basic facts? The anti’s will scramble for any explanation that they can find that would disprove that which is right in front of them, simply because they have devoted so much time and effort to their hatred that the very idea that the thing they hate could thrive and blossom into something real and undeniable is terrifying to them.
It’s not that they are idiotic, it’s that something like the mixtape shakes their belief system to its core and causes them to cling to any explanation, however illogical and incorrect, that they can come up with that supports their delusional interpretation of the show.
It’s fascinating.
The sad thing is, even if the show did shatter their interpretation, it wouldn’t stop them. At that point they would simply call it “pandering” and “bad writing” and call for Dabb to be sacked.
The anti’s are actually a really good indicator of how well the Destiel narrative is doing because the louder they get, the more idiotic they sound, and the more frequent the cries of PANDERING and BAD WRITING, the better it is for Destiel, and for us.
In the mean time, we make memes. 😀
This ^
We were discussing too how they actually argue against stuff which is actual canon outside of Destiel when we meta it because they just cannot accept any of our meta because that would mean we weren’t totally delusional. It’s really interesting to see as per the above how out of their way they’ll go to argue against honest to goodness later proved by canon meta such as Dean’s facade regarding things like media, the Cas/Crowley mirrors, the Lucifer redemption or not arc, Jack as the mirror of TFW, Dean as Sam’s parent even I mean…
They don’t get the point of symbolism or tropes or…anything much. Some honestly think Amelia and Amara were supposed to be liked and were endgame for Sam/Dean til they whined to TPTB that they didn’t like them, they don’t see at all how they were not built as such at all. Same for Sam’s wanting out of hunting and Dean wanting family and home comforts. They are just clueless / (benefit of the doubt aren’t that stupid) just refuse to see canon cos it doesn’t suit their codependency narrative.
Recently they argued against Cas’ depression arc culminating in the Empty emancipation and sure it’s not “proven” yet but some really argued with me a while back about something that clearly has a fuck ton of basis for a meta interpretation in Sam’s food issues linked to cleanliness and his Lucifer arc (I so want to see him eat real food again this season). Like, you don’t have to say it’s the only interpretation but it’s clearly a valid one.
Oh yeah that led to the whole “the pizza is always a lie” half crack but totally not meta which is just brilliant and again appeared in Sam’s dreamscape like 3 episodes ago so…
They also argued so much crap about Jack that was so surface level ridiculous and was proved wrong within minutes of 13×01 so they clearly haven’t a clue.
Ah, the depths of bronly denial…
I’m guessing that something as obvious as a Destiel Kiss (if it ever happened) would be dismissed as a Brotherly thing. Or Mouth to Mouth.
Can you imagine for a moment: Fight scene ends. One (Cas?) almost dies. The other (let’s say Dean) has Enough of losing/almost losing him. Skip over to: Kissing ensues.
“Omg there go the Destihellers again, thinking that’s Destiel. It’s so OBviouS that’s Mouth to Mouth Resuscitation, I mean come ON. He’s on Death’s door over there. He’d do the Same for his own Brother. That’s all. Delusional Destihellers.”
It’s not a kiss, it’s just putting their mouths together for their dying breaths. They were obviously trying to maximize on oxygen and lung power.
I’m reposting for all, but the last couple had me dying of laughter. 😂😂😂
This post has over 300 notes. I’m going to pretend like that means something. Because there’s another meme. Oh, wait, right, Destiel fandom doesn’t operate in a niche of 50 people and 300 notes is absolutely nothing, woops. Sorry, Nancy the Destiel Shipper confused us all or something. Moustache twirl.
I’d like to add that they also love to argue that Sam and Dean are not actual brothers because they are just fictional characters. So I guess that means they are not related to anyone, they have no parents, they are not actual Winchesters because so what if the story says they are? iT’s jUsT FiCtioN
the absolute reaching they have to do to justify everything they do is hilarious and really kind of sad. they can’t just own what they feel about the show. no. they have to invent things. and not like taking an element on the show and meta-izing it. i mean literally pulling shit like this out of their asses.
so a mixtape is just a tape with songs on it and sam and dean are what? strangers that just so happen to share a common background and live together?
Ok so I’m not on Tumblr much these days but let me see if I’ve got this straight
An anti-destiel person
(who I’ve never heard of because why would I?)
made a destiel blog
posted 99 times and got 5000 followers
(Which wtf guys I only have 1700 cmon)
then did some kind of big villain reveal that the blog was run by someone who hates destiel THE WHOLE TIME
and
because
Wait no I don’t know what to say after that because I still haven’t figured out why they did this or what their next steps are?
Have I been pwned yet? Is this what being pwned feels like?
best i can figure is she may have been trying to prove that destiel shippers hate sam but like people just gently steered her away from that so?….
i don’t see what she proved which means either she didn’t have a point or the point she set out to make didn’t get proven.
I have yet to see all this Sam hate that I keep getting told the Destiel fandom is full of??? Like, I’ve seen tons of Cas/Misha hate from the bronlies, but I’ve never once seen a Destiel shipper who hated Sam. But plenty of anti-destiel people claiming we hate Sam.
I once got an ask that was like “Why don’t you have much Sam in your fics? Do you hate him?” and I was like…. my last fic was literally Sam POV… ??? This person had very clearly never even looked at my list of fics on AO3, they just picked a random destiel shipper and assumed I probably had no Sam in my fics, which obviously would only happen if I hate Sam and not, oh, because he doesn’t happen to be part of the ship I write about.
(Jared, I’m maybe not crazy about, but I don’t hate him and I definitely understand why people like him. He just… says questionable things more often than Jensen or Misha. But I think he’s a terrific actor.)
Anyhow, I have no idea if that was Nancy’s real goal, but it wouldn’t shock me because I’ve certainly seen that particular brand of wackiness before. I just don’t get these people… when I don’t like a ship I stay the fuck away from it. Why would I want it taking up any part of my brainspace enough to attack the shippers??
glad you brought up the psychology of bronlies because @intelligentshipper wrote a bit about it here!
as to the sam/jared hate…. it exists. like organically not fake bs troll socks. it’s not as much or as vitriolic as what misha gets. and it mostly comes from toxic “wife stans” and people that just wanna stir shit.
they also tend to think any constructive criticism is hate. like when jared makes a joke that definitely isn’t funny, people get rightfully upset and, calmly, tell him why it was upsetting.
and i understand if you’re not crazy about him. i latched on to him because i relate really heavily to him (both in mhis and saying impulsive dumb shit) and i’ll defend him from legitimate hate (like one time someone said they were going to teach him a lesson or something like that by kidnapping his kids re: him not outright saying anything like misha about the family separation issue in the US), but i won’t defend the stuff he says.
anyway, give the link a read. might help understand a little better 😉
I’d like to thank Nancy for proving that Destiel is popular, that Destiel shippers are kind and welcoming and that to be a believable Destiel shipper you have to be respectful with other people in the fandom.
And more than anything I’d like to thank her for the huge laugh my jaw still hurts. Apparently laughing is good for your health and makes you live longer so those of us who will end up being older than planned need to also thank Nancy for the huge laugh.
Now more seriously if you read this Nancy get help cause that obsession isn’t healthy for you. Enjoy what you love and stop being obsessed with what you hate that will make you feel better and make your life easier.
uh so that’s a thing now?
nancy outed herself as the owner of a destiel blog and the reveal was like a villain from a b kids’ movie.
and everyone is confused as to what her point was. she amassed 5,000+ followers and claims that’s nothing because worldwide, tumblr hosts 431 million blogs. ok?
it’s still popular. surprise! if you aren’t an asshole to people, people follow you. if you make a blog about a popular thing (tumblr makes note that destiel is in the top ships on tumblr consistently) and you aren’t an asshole about something less popular, people accept you! WILD CONCEPT, I KNOW
i just…. i have been alternating between laughing hysterically till i cry and squinting in confusion
and she thinks she’s “evil” for this.
all you did was confuse people. hell, i found out about this about four hours ago and i still can’t figure it out.
the only thing i can figure is that she tried to bait people into echoing anti-sam points to prove that destihellers hate sam and they weren’t points so much as they were randomly thrown out there sentences that made no sense in context. and when people caught it, they gently corrected her back away from sam-hating.
i’m not going to try and figure it out because you aren’t ever going to provide an actual answer but nancy if you’re listening:
thanks, if anything, for proving that destiel shippers are warm and loving and welcoming.
As you may or may not have noticed, I haven’t been posting as often as I once did. That’s because I created this blog to see how many followers I could get and I would say this blog was a huge success.
Since then this blog no longer interests me and with this post (#100), I’m going to let the cat out of the bag so to speak.
Let me introduce myself, I’m nancy(lou)444.
Oh you don’t believe me? Here’s a view of the dash aka my other other dash:
This is the definition of a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Or in my case, that hated old bitch pretending to be a destieheller….
And doing a damn good job of it.
Something the “wincest” anons have never been able to pull off in all my years on tumblr, because THEY don’t know how to stop being a destieheller.
I, on the other hand, with this blog was able to be a convincing destieheller. With age comes experience and know how.
I will probably delete this post in a day or so and post something more innocent in its place as a goodbye, because even though I had to bite my tongue a lot of times while posting here, I’m still proud of this blog and its accomplishments.
OH MY GOD. I’m almost laughing like a maniac here because girl if you’re actually the Nancy person, you definitely are obsessed with the thing you claim to hate so much. Probably in love. Switch sides!
I’m WHEEZING.
I mean whatever either this is a super weird hoax or Nancy has proved that even a half assed fake Destiel blog can get 5k+ followers because Destiel is so popular I CANNOT.
I’m just so confused because what is the point? Where is the purpose? What is this trying to prove except she managed to gain 5k followers alone just posting about destiel? Proving how popular and loved destiel is?
She talks about being better than “wincest anons” in some strange attempt to accuse destiel shippers of pretending to be hateful wincest shippers but even if that was a thing (which is doubtful) this whole attempt still serves no purpose? All it serves to prove is that this woman is sadly, strangely obsessed with destiel and destiel fans and has let her hatred for it and us consume her to a level of utter insanity.
It’s frankly so very sad and pitying it’s beyond belief. I hope she gets some help because wow.
Please Nancy just let everyone ship what they want and find love in the things they enjoy and stop the hateful ship war that you are obsessed with. It’s unhealthy. Please get help.
My dear Nancy, you sure have a lot of time on your hands…
her tag tho “nancy is an evil bitch” like
babe
honey
sweetie
i can promise you that no one is looking at this situation and thinking that. this isn’t evil it’s… i’ll put it this way:
on an evil scale from becky rosen to lucifer, you’re becky
pretty literally in this case
WHAT EVEN IS LIFE.
I CAN’T ANYMORE.
“I am going to prooooove they are an evil vitriolic minority and- look! after only a few months of halfassing a blog I put no genuine interest into, I was welcomed with open arms while not being a fuckball and have thousands of followers! I got shitty Wincest hate anons but I’ll just accuse them of doing it. This proves… [gestures vaguely] It’s in there somewhere. Subtext.”
Goddamn I knew the antis were getting desperate but this is a whole new kind of special. Holy christ on a coconut how do you put your pants on in the morning.
#destiel agenda#of welcoming kindness
jfc ain’t that the truth.
i went through every single post (just on the surface). and do you know what i saw? no where in there was there anyone attacking her. even when she tested out weird anti-sam sentences and thoughts, people were politely like “hey, man, that’s not cool”
so this proves….? that destiel fans actually gently defend sam and have a culture of kindness and welcoming when you don’t act like a flaming douche canoe…?
