#cockles discord

[the-rollerchloster]

Found in my notes app, and no less relevant now than when I blathered it to no one back then...

Me, a small-ish discord server owner, reading the notes on this post like: 🤔🤔 these are all valid concerns, but maybe y’all just haven’t found the right home.

My thoughts on tumblr vs discord in the fandom space is that they’re not a one or other, they should be used to boost and enhance each other.

I will admit that I have been burnt by big servers before, and I have landed in a few more that have immediately overwhelmed me and made me nope out, but I have also had some amazing conversations with people I never would have reached out to before if I’d only been following them on tumblr.

When I created @sunshineshellers I had a very clear goal. I saw a gap in the cockles/destiel corner of the spn fandom for people who needed to be able to talk freely without fear of judgement. Screaming into the void of tumblr (as so many of us with less than 200 followers do) isn’t always enough to satiate a full blown fandom spiral. It’s nice to have somewhere where you can say “is this something…?” and actually get a response, but so many spn servers sweep cockles into a dusty corner, which makes people who perceive feel like dirty little outcasts.

I love tumblr, I love spnblr, and it’s great for big brain thoughts like this, and for finding and sharing so many beautiful creations, and for collective meltdowns when something noteworthy comes to light.

But some of *my* best “content” comes to me inside the group chatter of my pocket family. A community of people who Get It is a treasured commodity in this life that can look like a hodge-podge group of people from all over the world coming together to scream incoherently about our shared love of Supernatural. We don’t agree all the time, but that’s okay because we care about each other because we understand the passion and love having somewhere that makes fandom feel less empty.

I’m not saying all this to convince you to join my server and say you must love discord cos I do. I’m saying this just to point out that much like you curate your tumblr dash to your personal preferences, you curate your discord experience to your personal preferences too, and there could be a whole corner of this community just waiting to hear your thoughts if only you’d give them a chance. 💖

Delayed posting, but here it is in all it's (scanned) glory, my secret Cockles op for my wonderful Sunshine Shellers family.

I was scared that it would be lame, but I actually kinda love how it came out (even if I do have my tea-drinking pinky out).

I wanted to do something special for the wonderful community I have curated on Discord - my family within the SPN family - and this is the result.

(I kinda wish I'd done this one before my other cockles op, so that Misha didn't have his disappointed act to drop, but I digress).

If you want to join a group of unhinged, yet totally lovable, cockles-shippers for thirst-posting, meta discussion about all things spn and adjacent, and wonderful new friends, check out the pinned post on this blog.

Love always, Chloe 💖 (@the-rollerchloster)

Hey guys!

I suck at posting on this but I made a Supernatural discord server!

I'd love for you guys to join and we can all have some fun 🥺

[ssjdebusk]

im seeing a lot of delusional posts about cockles ya'll didn't keep that info secret because you were classy you kept it a secret because it was very unpopular opinion during the show and many destiel shippers were against it and rps in general - I'm sure some people kept it on the dl for other reasons but the majority simply didn't want to be questioned/judged/unfollowed. I would post cockles and lose dozens of followers per post. I think some people weren't there and thats frustrating to see people try to rewrite history but also when you are in a small subgroup you sometimes don't see how unpopular/fringe your ideas are and cockles was one of those fringe fringe things that most people were quite frankly grossed out at and they were grossed out at us for going there with real people.

People joined us 100% against their will and try to pretend, since the circumstances didn't change, that history did and they didn't at first find it abhorrent when in actuality their moral feelings towards it were what changed and their belief in its actual possibility. (in my opinion)

PLEAASEE make a discord server im begging you cockle and catter

[blanketforcas]

had a conversation with someone and now i'm wondering

*i know in cockles fandom (you can also vote if you're into a different real person ship btw) we tend to not see the basic "i think it's very likely they're a real couple" as tinhatting, but for the sake of this poll i use it in the more traditional sense

**this can be on discord/any kind of chat on or offline/tumblr/social media etc

[mishacolinsackles]

Is there a Cockles Discord group?

I have no freaking idea but honestly after coming into this fandom and understanding there are different levels to ship Cockles, and how much drama happens, having a chatroom will become a pretty bad idea because there will be blocked people one after another. It's not ideal but this is my opinion.

[mishacollinsthighsss]

Looking for a Discord Server centered around Fandom Art? (18+)

No matter if it’s writing, drawing, creating AMV’s, writing songs - if you do any of that and want to join a server to swap ideas, get some inspiration or just to talk about your current WIPs, this might be the right place for you!

I’ve created a server for Fandom artists, both for Destiel and Cockles. If one of those ships is not your thing? No problem, you can just take the role for one ship and won’t be bothered with the other!

You’re new to creating Art in general and want to take a look and maybe find a place to throw out ideas or get ideas for yourself? Come on in!

You don’t have anything to do with Fandom Art, but you’re still looking for a place to connect with people? No problem, we have a general area as well! 

You must be 18 or older to join, since a lot of Fanfiction and Art can contain NSFW stuff. If this caught your eye and you’re interested, feel fee to join us <3

You said in one of your posts that Misha used Jensen and destiel to promote bridgewater and gotham knights every single week. Could you give specific examples?

This one started a running joke:

Bonus, another roadfood:

I remember more from them but it’s probably lost to time, between Instagram stories and broken quote tweets from deleted posts or deleted accounts. He usually made a Cas/Destiel/SPNfamily before every tweet advertising the newest episode.

Continued, Gotham Knights:

(He was on Today promoting the premiere of GK, On Instagram he used Jensen as the cover https://www.instagram.com/p/CpvZ6p-vWzj/?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==)

I don’t think it’s fair to post every time he used the salute to supernatural conventions to promote it- bc you were only asking about Jensen and Destiel. I sort of count using Jaistiel to promote GK though; they were a popular “big name fan” on tiktok and then Twitter, active GISH participant who ran the unofficial GISH discord server, went to many conventions and interacted with Misha and the other cast many times. Jai was the one in the infamous bishagate video who shouted “you never raised your hand!”, and had Jensen and Misha to sign a destiel plate for them the same day. some more links 1. 2. 3. And even after that fiasco, Jai was still alma truthing publicly, so I’ll say that sharing their video can be included in this montage since they are a cockles tinhatter and he’s very much aware- their praise

in this video probably meant a lot to him like it was reassurance that he’d atoned for his fan service sins. When trying to fetch these tweets I was reminded that he actually did it twice LMAO

Cont. GK, he got a lot of mileage out of saying Jensen was supposed to be involved https://www.tvinsider.com/1095234/misha-collins-supernatural-gotham-knights-cast/

more tweets

And there’s probably a lot I’m missing but this post has taken so much effort already 🥳

[the-rollerchloster]

lol @regardingjenmish @cooloddball - catching up on my dash, and get this beautifully relatable set of posts...

Bring on TorCon, GISH, and some COCKLES SHENANIGANS!

[sunshineshellers]

TOO MUCH ENRICHMENT IN THE ENCLOSURE!!!

Our channels have gone crazy with the amount of screaming that needs to happen right now - lucky we're not channel police!

Remember, if you need somewhere to be incoherent about the chaos of Jensen and Misha, we're here ready and waiting for you. We chat about a lot of things... whatever the hell JenMish have going on right now, but also The Winchesters, destiel, other ships, other fandoms and just life in general. Family and friends don't understand? That's what we're here for!

This weekend was really my first back in fandom in a few months, and I haven’t been on Tumblr or Twitter in the past day, just discord, but as someone who's always loved cockles and shipped cockles, but always questioned certain things about cockles, in the sickest turn of events possible, this wildcard move unfortunately has filled in many blanks and has made me more sure of cockles than ever. Not in a good way, not in a positive way, but in a "oh, I get it now, the world we live in is a bleak, cruel nightmare huh" kind of way. If you get that, you get that, ig.

These men also think they don't have ADHD. I guess I could leave it at that really. No one was surprised by Misha saying he was bi for a reason. That reason didn't up and disappear, we knew then, we know now, just like half of us knew Jensen and Misha had ADHD before they said they were diagnosed as kids. Tell me to go fuck off, but this is my honest perspective, as someone who has had a bit of fandom break. Everyone was fine yesterday with saying Jensen and Misha have ADHD even though Jensen implied he doesn't actually think he has it, and someone's sexuality isn't any more personal than a medical diagnosis. Maybe we’re all shitbags for that idk, but if you feel badly for not believing him, or questioning yourself or your own eyes, please forgive yourself, it's all I ask. If you for realisies think he's the straightest straight to ever straight and still like him after [gestures broadly at the past thirteen years] then cool beans, have fun with that ig lol. For me, I’m feeling a certain peace in getting things a bit better, in seeing things a bit clearer, feeling a general sadness, and also still hoping things are just sad and not completely tragic.

To anon, occam isn’t known for keeping high profile secrets. The moment he knows anything, he posts it, and points to it whenever someone questions his credibility on all the insane things. He wouldn’t even post the allegedly damning screenshots of mark in his discord server when pressed, but posting divorce court proceedings is fine, talking about their late friend stalking misha and jensen is fine. He said that Mark was broke and couldn’t even afford to sue anybody anymore, repeatedly, and yet he still won’t post his “blackmail”. He’s a compulsive liar

Well, this put him under an even more dubious light (ironically, this would mean that his claims about TW could be more reliable, because he can't stop talking about it)

Divorce court proceedings? You mean from Misha and Vicky divorce??? Holy shit...

"talking about their late friend stalking misha and jensen is fine", I guess you mean that time when the "old cockles guard" found out (by accident??) the receipts of jenmish living together and they gatekept the evidence (but not before claiming they had proof of that)

Yeah I expected him to post the blackmails of Mark P. but it's false or if it's true he has chickened out

When Jensen called Jared, Baby. Hmm... They are making this really easy, aren't they

https://twitter.com/Jsquaredheaven/status/1103282574967873536?s=20

He was literally quoting a film. Meanwhile, we have video of him calling Misha "babe", and Misha calling Jensen "sweetheart".

Talking about Jensen and Jared on “Then and Now: A Supernatural Podcast”

Rob: You two have been friends for a while now- Jared: We’ve known each other (mumbles) Rob: Sorry, sorry, sorry. You’ve known each other and been acquaintances. You sometimes answer texts. Jared didn’t sound like he was joking. It’s at the 5 minute mark of the Pilot episode.

Any other interesting tidbits from the podcast? 👀

Well, Jensen admitted to trying to screw with Jared in the audition. As in throw him out off his groove. EDIT: Screw as in “mess with” and “sabotage”. Jensen tried to sabotage Jared’s audition by messing with his focus.

Supernatural had a low turn around for members of the crew. Jensen knew nearly all the names while Jared made passing remarks.

In "Wendigo" they talk about Dean's voice. Jensen says he was inspired by JDM after seeing the Pilot. Jared jokes about Jensen wrecking his voice, and Rich and Jensen joke that Misha had it worse.

Jared talks for nearly all of the podcast with Rob, Rich and Jensen just adding in things every so often. So the norm.

There is merciless teasing of Rob that's fun.

Jensen calls Robert Singer "dad". He says that you always knew "when Dad was on set". That Singer was brought in to control a young Kripke.

Jensen says Kripke hasn't changed much between SPN pilot and S3 of The Boys.

Jensen joked that Kripke took everything he wanted to do to Dean on SPN but couldn't because of network control and did it to Jensen on "The Boys", and Jensen has told his family to not watch "The Boys" because of it. But everyone else should watch it.

There was four months between filming The Pilot and "Wendigo". During that time Jensen and Jared did fight training.

They discussed the promotion circuit back in 2005 and how it was very radio orientated. They had to be up at 2am for interviews in America and do four hour shifts before going on to film.

The fire in the scene where Jess dies was real. They actually set the set on fire, and told the boys if they got "hot" to get the hell out of there. In one take Jensen did and he stopped saying his dialogue to say "I'm getting hot!"

Jared admitted to fanboying a little over some of the cast in the early episodes.

The boys got to meet Samantha Smith and JDM while the Pilot was being filmed.

They talked a lot about director David Nutter and how he was the "Pilot King". Any pilot he filmed got picked up. At the time of SPN he'd directed 11 pilots, and SPN was the eleventh one picked up

There was also a discussion how the crew was young when the show started, and some of them saw "three decades". aka they started in their late 20s and were in their early 40s when the show ended and they still worked there. Jensen put himself on that list.

I'm sure there's more, but those are the highlights.

Hi guys. If you can vote in the Ao3 election, make sure to not vote for Tiffany G. If you haven’t heard, this person wants to censor Ao3. Yes, you heard that right. The site created to go against censorship has someone running for the board that wants to censor content.

cockles, also how do i get my friend to stop being a homestuckie

hmm idk maybe read the webcomic and target them based on it? maybe interact w fan content so you know what jokes they hate and make them? maybe you should make a fantroll or oc so you can sneak into discord servers and make other homestuckie friends so you know what to imitate?
