#The CW Network

[the-girl-from-another-time]

I think the reason a lot of comic fans enjoy TV over movie adaptations is because a lot of the TV shows are absolutely bonkers half the time (looking at you, CW) but so are comics. Superhero movies tend to stray away from colorful or seemingly cheesy costumes, embrace grit over sincerity, choose gratuitous action sequences over an actual sense of altruism, and prefer Serious Cinema™️ over the absolute chaos comic continuity has been for the past eighty years. The TV shows, on the other hand, often go all in on sincerity, unapologetically feature themes of altruism and hope, and embrace FUN, even when it’s stupid. When it comes to hopeful and feel-good entertainment, I know what I’m choosing.

So insane Warner Brothers wanted Misha to be openly bisexual but not Dean Winchester

[papawinchestersbiggesthater]

dean is so damaged, and it breaks me. i’m literally sobbing in my car because he worries so much about sam

“i’m a grunt, sam. you’re the brains of this operation”

i can’t i can’t i can’t he thinks so fucking little of himself. dying with a gun in his hand? not seeing a way out? “this is it for me”?

killing me rn

[schtrawberry]

saw this tweet and thought of #them

[pinksatinpanties]

the thing that hurts the most (and there are many things that hurt about destiel) is knowing that if Dean or Cas had been a female character, the whole “you are not gonna die a virgin” scene would have gone WAY different

they would’ve fucked freak nasty on that dirty motel room/abandoned building floor (I don’t remember where they were BUT I REMEMBER EXACTLY WHAT WAS SAID) til they both had carpet burns on their back - and still kept going

they would have finally fucked, thinking they were gonna die the next day, and then they would’ve lived and been like “so remember when we had sex? heh that was crazy, right? so crazy. wanna do it again sometime?” and their relationship would’ve been canon from that point forward

if either one of those characters had been a woman, the CW would’ve really pushed their hetero love story so hard and they would’ve let them be happy for once, at least one arc of happiness before the whole widower arc

BUT NO THEY JUST HAAAAD TO BE HOMOPHOBIC

cw when I catch you cw

Superman and Lois- 4x07

They say a picture is worth a thousand words.

(Yes- I did get a bit emotional during this scene)

IMO; 'A Regular Guy' has got to be the best episodes in any Live Action Superman TV shows or Movies

[trashgremlendoesart]

I feel like the tumblr ads are trying to send a message

Yeah, DUH the cw is dying, it only existed to facilitate gay staring 😒

[echo-shark]

I feel like we are all so caught up in the emotion of Jared and Misha being on The Boys and making up a hundred scenarios in which Misha and Jensen kiss that we have forgotten the very real, very possible possibility that maybe they won't even meet in the show—and even worse, Jared and Jensen could very well be the ones kissing, for all we know,,, so yeah

IF YOU OR A LOVED ONE ARE SAPPHIC AND WERE PERSONALLY VICTIMIZED BY THE CW’S THE 100 SEASON 3 IN 2016 PLEASE READ

i know i have very few followers so i am tagging this to hell amd back and it would mean the world to me if people could spread this!!

did you get into this random sci fi show as an impressionable sapphic or then-sapphic-identifying teen? did you find your fandom community online in places like tumblr? were you a Way Too Online Clexa shipper? do you have vivid memory of one fateful night in March of 2016 where your little baby heart was sent to the moon and then stomped on within an entire fifteen minute window? did you then turn on your phone to watch an entire community imploding in real time?

i am a current history grad student in Washington, DC, and i recently was notified of an interdisciplinary panel opportunity in which i’d be able to turn one of my quasi-intellectual passions into something Big and Academic and possibly Influential To The Field. the theme of the conference is change; how our historical subjects understood it, dealt with it, lived through it, etc. or, it can be anything that might have some big observation to how we deal with change ourselves as academics

my proposal is still in the baby stages, but i want to use this particular moment in pop culture in two ways: first, obviously, is as a case study of a really revolutionary moment in queer representation. we had a sci fi show with, after a few season one growing pains, really complex and kind of amazing female character writing and an element of queerness that defied tropes by being strangely post-structuralist, only for that to come crashing down in one horrid writing decision. the overnight turn in the fan-creator relationship was something so severe and shocking to me, even at 14.

second, if we wanna get all discipline-jargony about it, studying it from a historical angle at some kind (yes i know it was only nine years ago bear with me here) could lead to some really important things about how we do social history in a digital age. i find that most “digital history” conversation tends to be about digitizing sources for access or distribution, but we are very much at a point where our sources are being /created/ in digital and online spaces, and there’s simply not the same level of comfort or readily available knowledge of how to navigate through an internet-created archive.

if you read this far, thank you. at this point, i’m simply trying to find people who experienced this moment firsthand like i did. i’m still trying to develop specific sets of questions to survey, possibly to workshop some research methodology with an “oral” historical source base. if you are interested in being somehow part of this source base, please reach out to me ASAP! i cannot promise that anything substantial will come out of it within the next few weeks (a girl has to get through my own finals and my students’ finals first), but it’ll at least give me a list of people to reach out to when the time comes<3

if you read to the end, thank you. here’s a cat pic as a reward. his name is winston

I’m sorry I just… Dick John

Dick John Grayson

DJ Dick John

I’ve been thinking about this for months. Months I tell you

Edit: just to be clear this is old and was scrapped. The article is referring to it in past tense and so am I. It’s just something i think about often.

[fr3sh-c0rn]

listen ok the audience for supernatural was not meant to be what it is today. i know for a fact that self loathing mentally ill queer people were not the target audience. The cw just made a huge mistake that's all

[strawlessandbraless]

why does everyone say CWs Supernatural¿

The CW stands for content warning and it wouldn’t be right to just let people watch the show without forewarning about the immense pain it causes viewers. Stay safe out there, knowledge is power

Could you write a Cheryl Blossom x reader fic please where she sees reader in her signature red for the first time and decides that she's now going to make reader's entire wardrobe red because of how good reader looks in it. Thanks.

Cheryl giggles as Y/N hides a little...

Y/N: i'm not sure how i look, babe

Cheryl: oh come on! Just a little first look...for me. please!

Y/N; oh alright

Y/N walks out in a scarlet red leather jacket...

Cheryl: (gasps) oh my...

Y/N: what?

Cheryl: you look (purrs)

Y/N blushes as red as their new jacket...
