deeply-embarrassing:

The SPN fandom is trash. Stop ignoring it.

You’ve probably seen some fanarts from @eliciadonze . She’s been getting a lot of hate from this fandom for years. Slurs, death and rape threats, victim blaming, everything you can imagine.

And this every single day, no matter what she did. Because it’s not really about who she is or what she draws. She never did anything wrong. It’s about people being cruel and/or jealous, and especially about people and this fandom in general feeling entitled. Because after all, everyone else does it. After all, she should just shut up about it. After all, you’re just telling her what to do, you know better, it’s not hate but advice.

The entitlement in the so called “spn family” is huge. And the hypocrisy : reblogging Jared’s mental health related stuff, buying “you’re not alone” shirts but not giving a fuck about an artist getting PTSD because of us.

This fandom is attempting to kill her. This is happening right now.

It’s tempting to just leave this fandom which, as Elicia said, cares more about 3 fictional guys than a real person. But it’s the easy way out. Less guilt, but no help.

So, if you’ve ever appreciated Elicia’s art, stand up for her. Spread the word that anyone who has an issue with her isn’t welcome on your blog. That you don’t want them to share what you create or reblog. Write it in brakets underneath your fanarts, your gifs, your fanfics. Message famous blogs, try to make them react. Ask your mutuals about Elicia, block them if they frown. Also go buy her a Ko-Fi if you can’t commission, because the hate is also ruining her career.

And speaking about this is not “ruining the mood of the fandom”. Anyone displeased by seeing people standing up for Elicia shouldn’t be welcome in this fandom anyway.

I need 10,000 more of these public posts.

Looking at the notes on this… it’s about fucking time the backlash against the hate got half as big as the backlash against Elicia. There’s not excuse for the shit she’s gotten on a daily basis for YEARS.

What. The. Fuck. SPN fandom?!

This NOT OK. ESPECIALLY IN OUR FANDOM!

Yes, we have had ALOT of hate regarding ships, but attacking an ARTIST?! HELL NO!!

Our fandom is about INCLUSION, and SUPPORT, and making FRIENDS. Being there for one another!

Blast this! Let’s show this artist some support and shut those asshats DOWN!!!

J2 SPNUK 2018 Main Panel

sammyhale:

  • J2 come out on stage at the end of Misha’s panel and they both hug him as he leaves. 
  • J2 are joking about doing a Saturday panel since they normally only do Sundays. 
  • Jensen: No one understands Jared he’s an enigma lol 
  • Jensen now teasing Rich. 
  • Jared: Has anyone been to a convention before? We’ve been doing this for 10 years where the fuck have you been? Jensen: Someone just said they weren’t born yet 😛 
  • J2 finished filming 2 weeks ago. 
  • Jared is jetlagged but happy to be here. 
  • J2 threaten the fans with spoilers lol. 
  • Jared says this is the first time there is a confession (concession?) stand in a convention hall. 
  • Jared has somehow changed food into pasties and the stripping music has started. Jared’s pronunciation of pasties is cracking everyone up. 
  • The J2 panel has descended into nipple tassles and Jensen just did a nipple tassle.
  • Jared: Don’t call them fanny packs in the UK, call them bum bags! Jensen: They call it sun cream! Jensen is blown away that they call it that lol. “Why do we call it sunscreen? It’s not a screen at all.” 
  • Jensen to Jared: You’ve got sun cream and pasties in your bumbag!
  • Jensen about a bartender: Wow, he was kind of a dick to me… he was kind of a sausage roll. 
  • J2 agree Adam would be pissed if he finally got out of the cage. Jensen would love to have Jake back on the show, Jared thinks Adam would be pissed but relieved. Jensen: He’s messed with the Winchester’s before and look where it got him. 
  • Fan: What personality trait from your character is most like you? Jared: My hair. Jensen: Yeah [his hair] has a personality of its own! 
  • Jared reads instruction booklets. He and Sam are similar in that way of study first before doing something, likes to research. Jensen and Dean both loved baked desserts, good music, as well as just fix things however they can. Dean thinks he can fix things with a can of WD-40 and a roll of duct tape. Jensen: Do they even have WD-40 here?” 
  • Jared says Jensen laughs at him at times, Jensen mouths silently “A lot” lol 
  • Jared: Shep’s a quirky kid. Jensen: *pats hand over heart* Jared: Yeah, they’re kindred spirits, these two (Jensen and Shep) ❤ 
  • Jensen just whispered something to Jared and then he started cracking up even more. 
  • Jared took off his jacket. Jensen checks his watch, “Right on time.” Jared then goes for his belt. Jensen, checks watch, “Oh, a little early.”
  • J2 making each other laugh 🙂 
  • J2 are whispering to each other and doing full body laughs. 
  • Jared: I think if you’re acting properly, then you’re learning something about your character. 
  • Jared: Happens a lot when they read the script and notice things Sam wouldn’t do but also gives him a chance to explore and then realize after doing the scene that it makes sense. 
  • Jared said he doesn’t think Sam would’ve lived with Amelia. 
  • Jensen: Sometimes they challenge back the writers if something doesn’t make sense. He says 9 times out of 10 writers get it right/they’ll find a happy medium. 
  • Jensen: You get a bro hug in the next episode. He said they made it unique like a “hey, are you okay?” hug. 
  • J2 find little challenges in each script that they’re not sure how they’re gonna play until they shoot the scene. 
  • Jared: Option 3 just change the scene and don’t tell the writers lol. Jensen says sometimes they just plain change it without telling the writers. 
  • Jared: Jensen and I love Alex. Alex reminds him of a young Misha and messes with him lol. Favorite part of s13 for Jared was Alex, says he’s so gracious and talented and it was great having him there. Enjoyed showing him the ropes, welcoming him to the family. 
  • Jensen: A few months ago we actually had to stop filming because it was raining so hard! Perhaps the 2nd time in 13 years. Jared wasn’t filming and was in his trailer wondering what was taking so long lol. 
  • Jensen: “The physicality of what I had to do during the season finale was a challenge.” 
  • The snow with Ketch in the AU was not planned. Jensen says that the cast and crew making this day work (re: rain and snow) are the moments he’s most proud of. 
  • A fan said something and Jared didn’t understand what she said so she repeated it and apologized and Jared said “it’s okay” in the softest way.
  • Unlike Jared, Jensen doesn’t like to read ahead unless he has to in order to keep it all straight in his head. 
  • Did Jensen know what John said to Dean in 2×01 (when he whispered about him maybe having to kill Sam)? He did not. He doesn’t read far in advance script wise so he doesn’t accidentally bring something from one script to another.
  • Jared doesn’t think even the writers knew for sure what John said. Sort of go with the flow and see what works.
  • At times Jared will be reviewing a scene with him and Jensen has no clue what he’s talking about cause he hasn’t read it lmao. Kevin Parks will also sometimes come in to discuss future scenes, still not getting Jensen hasn’t read it yet and he’ll try to bullshit. 
  • J2 both just rubbed and twitched their noses in sync 😛 
  • The writers are currently working out the next season from the huge cliffhanger left at the end of Season 13
  • JP: Sam wasn’t meant to be soulless for so long and Amelia longer but writers adapted due to the level of success. 
  • Jared would tell his past self to “buy bitcoin.” lol
  • Jared “I almost lived parallel to Sam. I sort of grew up with Sam.”
  • Jared says if he could see a glimpse of the future he would say no, he doesn’t want to know the future. 
  • Jared used to have a lot of issues with the industry, wanted to get out (early seasons it sounds like) and even spoke to his lawyers about leaving the show without being sued. “I talked to my on-screen brother, Jensen” and Jensen told him “we can do this,” that they could get through it. 
  • Advice for past character? Jared thinks Sam (& him) had to go through what they did to get where they are. 
  • Jensen: “If I could talk to my season 1 self, I’d say settle in.” Jensen says he never used to settle into jobs because “I’ve never been on a show longer than a season or two.”
  • Jared prefers “life is long” to “life is short.” Life is short gives him anxiety. “Life is long. Be the person who you want to be. Live now how you want to look back and remember who you’ve been.” 
  • Jensen: “Somebody once said, people aren’t gonna remember the things you had planned, they’re gonna remember what you’ve done.”
  • Jared can hear an annoying blender in the background: “I hope that’s a great smoothie.”
  • “it’s the vapers” – Jensen when Jared shouted turn the blender off… there’s a vape convention in this building lmao.  
  • Jared’s favorite monster death was Lilith because of the cool build up! Jensen’s fave death was Alastair. 
  • Jared on mental health prejudice: “I think we’ve come a long way but I feel like there’s still a long way to go.” He feels the same about gender, race, sexual orientation, etc. 
  • Fan: “I came from Hungary for you guys.” Jared “I just ate so I’m not hungry.” 😛 
  • Jared just got a semi-rimshot from Norton. Make that two!
  • Jared: “YES! Two rim shots.” Jensen “Stop saying that!”
  • Jared: Had to fly across the pond to get a rimshot…w/ innuendos lol.
  • Fan: Does your character leak into everyday life? Jensen: Absolutely Jared: She said leaked not licked. Jensen: I know that? Jared: Okay it’s just the accent sounded like- Jensen: Not to anyone else! 
  • Jensen: “I have had moments where Dean leaked….” Cracking up lol
  • Jensen: “one of the ways that Jared and I bridge the distance at work is, we FaceTime our kids.”
  • Last question: Did their kids ever want to be on the show & would they let them? Jensen: No. They FaceTime a lot but Jensen is often in bloody make-up. JJ thinks it’s disgusting & doesn’t want to work where he does.
  • They keep saying Uncle Jared and Uncle Jensen it’s cute as hell.
  • Jared: A baby pic of Tom was in a scene. He also says that the kids were on set and watching daddy and Uncle Jensen creeping upstairs with flashlights and Shep grabbed Uncle Ackles’ flashlight and joined in thinking they weren’t actually playing pretend 🙂

Sam’s Fear (part 5)

emptywithout:

Dean was reluctant at first. It took Rowena quite a while to convince him
she meant no harm. That she truly wanted to help Sam, and she needed him close
to her to help him get through the curse he was put under. He really didn’t
want to let Sam go, he wanted him right by him, to help him through this. But
somehow Rowena convinced him.

What she didn’t tell Dean, of course, was that she was lying.

She knew that Sam wasn’t in fact, cursed. It was much worse than that.
Rowena knew Dean wouldn’t understand the truth. He wouldn’t be able to let Sam
go if he knew. So she did what she knew would work. Sometimes lies have to be
told, she thought.

***

“Rowena, where are we going?” Sam was confused.  He didn’t know why he
was leaving the bunker with Rowena, and why Dean wasn’t coming with them. They
walked out the bunker door, with Dean watching until they had passed through
the bunker door.

“It’s alright dearie, I’ll explain everything soon, I promise.”  Rowena
patted his arm.

They walked together to the road and got into a waiting taxi.  Sam knew
something was wrong, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on it.  Something
was confusing him. He couldn’t keep his thoughts straight. Rowena watched him
the entire ride back to her hotel, waiting to see what Sam might do next.
 But nothing surfaced.  Sam was mostly quiet during the short ride,
staring out the window, but his mind was thinking hard.

“Rowena, what’s going on?” he asked quietly.  Rowena sighed and touched
Sam’s cheek, turning it towards her. She knew he needed patience. And calm
words.

“Samuel, do you remember working with me? Practicing magic?”

Sam smiled, his eyes now staring at Rowena. “of course I do.”

“Do you remember when you started feeling the fear?”

Sam’s eyes went dark, his smile fading. “Yes, I remember that too.”

“Samuel, do you remember how that happened?”  Sam turned away from
Rowena to look out the window at the passing traffic.

“No,” was his short, pained reply.

“It’s ok, you know.  That’s why we’re leaving.  So I can help
you.”  Sam nodded, but did not verbally respond.

“Alright dearie, just trust me, ok?  I’ll explain the lot as soon as we
get back to my hotel, ok?”  Sam nodded again, resting his head on the cool
glass, staring out into the city.

Rowena’s brow crinkled. This is how it started the first time, with Sam
becoming distant. But soon they arrived at the hotel, and Rowena was able to get
Sam inside without difficulty.  

It was inside when the trouble began.

Rowena sat him down on the bed and began explaining the situation to Sam. “I
still don’t know what happened, Samuel, but somehow you unleashed this upon
yourself – accidentally, of course.”

Sam frowned and nodded. “ok, “ he answered. He was looking past Rowena when
he spoke to her. He started breathing heavily and his arms wrapped around
himself, shaking.

“Samuel, are you doing alright?” Rowena bent forward to look into his eyes.

He was not alright.  Rowena knew if
she didn’t find a counter spell soon, Sam’s situation would likely turn
permanent. She knew the lie she told Dean about the hex bag would become
unraveled soon, and Dean would never trust her again. She needed to fix this
before the truth was revealed. She cast one more spell and watched as Sam
froze, eyes staring at nothing.

She was running out of time.
