and somehow i always find my way back to the internet when my life gets weird or fucked up or you know. all of the above.
for the last week or so it’s felt all of the above but honestly coming here and seeing some of the same people just reblogging shit like always? i felt a little comfort.
LMAO i went to grad school with this guy and i gotta say, logging onto this hellsite for the first time since 2020 and desmond being one of the first things i see is the most surreal experience i've had since deadline reported that the writer that helped bully me out of a job in 2019 lied for a decade about having cancer
This is so empowering to see proving that despite how hard the churches and Canadian government tried. They failed to "kill the Indian in the child" and that we will continue to flourish in our beautiful culture ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽 and we will never give up
What in the WORLD is going on in the spn fandom, y'all blowing up my dash but I have zero context kgjfjdjd
For anyone who hasn’t blocked the tag and is curious but wildly lost!
Jensen Ackles, who played Dean Winchester on Supernatural, announced the coming of a prequel show The Winchesters. The show is set to focus on what Deadline called “the epic untold love story” of John and Mary, Sam and Dean’s parents, as narrated by Dean. Fans were upset by this news because of all the possible spinoffs, a show about a couple who were manipulated by heaven into falling in love for the purpose of birthing their fated children - a couple who then became a fridged wife-mother and an abusive and absent father - is not the show anyone was hoping for.
But as everyone began posting about their disappointment with this news, Jared Padalecki (who played Sam Winchester) tweeted that he was not approached for the new show, and vagued about how he wished he could have found out from Jensen rather than Twitter. He also tweeted @ one of the writers involved, calling him a coward, and then deleted it.
Shit. Storm.
Jared has a history of misbehavior on social media as well as generally shitty behavior (I won’t link in this post but feel free to add sources if you have!) and it is not at all out of character for him to throw a hissy fit on Twitter. His fans immediately insisted this is either a planned con or a hack. It is obviously neither.
Meanwhile other actors involved in Supernatural (notably Misha Collins, who played Castiel, and Julie McNiven, who played Anna Milton) have also replied to the news and even hinted that they’d like to be involved. Without slinging around petty insults.
On top of all this, an episode of the original show, 6x15 “The French Mistake,” supposedly takes place in our world. In it, Sam and Dean get transported into a universe in which people refer to them as Jared and Jensen and are surprised at their behavior, because - and I’m quoting from the Wiki page here - “normally they don't speak to each other,” implying that they don’t get along. This is a show known within the fandom for blurring the lines of metanarratives, and for the actors to suddenly apparently match up to the plot of an episode they were in... It’s an extra level of hilarity to add to the inherent drama of the rest of the situation.
