how sam was just in complete and utter awe when he met castiel that his mouth gaped open and he said “oh my god”
uriel wouldn’t even touch someone as tainted as sam and castiel gave him that overly intimate handshake
castiel went from referring to sam as ‘the boy with the demon blood’ to staring lucifer in the fucking face and forbidding him to touch sam winchester
cas threatened to kill one of his oldest friends because she threatened sam (“anna, we’ve been through much together, but if you touch sam winchester, i will kill you”)
the first thing castiel did after being resurrected by god was jump right into the darkest depths of hell, right into the pit with the most powerful and dangerous angels ever just to save sam – nobody ordered him to, he had no obligation to, it was his own choice
castiel essentially killed himself by taking on sam’s pain just so sam would live (“it should get sam back on his feet. it’s fine, it’ll be better this way”)
it was sam that believed in cas when nobody else did, it was sam’s prayers that got through to cas when he wasn’t even himself, it was sam that saved castiel from himself as god
and people are still so shocked by the fact that people ship sastiel
Things were so much simpler before women started stealing all of my favorite things from me. I don’t care what anyone says. Women aren’t and will never be true fans of Doctor Who, Star Trek or any of that. You jumped in because you wanted attention. You became “fans” because suddenly liking sci-fi shows and fantasy became popular. You only want guys to drool over you because you’re girls who “like” geeky stuff. Kindly go jump in a lake and die.
A woman organized the letter-writing campaign to NBC to save Star Trek when it was on the verge of being cancelled after the first season, and thus enabled the show to continue on for three seasons allowing it to go into syndication and gain the following it did in reruns.
A woman organized the first ever Star Trek convention, and convinced NASA to donate a truckload full of stuff for said convention thus starting the tradition of Star Trek conventions featuring space for modern science.
A woman greenlit Star Trek while acting at the head of a major studio, and consistently fought pressure to cancel the show. This same woman was the person who greenlit Mission Impossible and was the first woman to head a major studio.
A woman wrote many of the most famous TOS episodes, and went on to write on to write episodes of The Animated Series, The Next Generation, and Deep Space Nine.
Learn your history.
You think women stole your favorite things? If it weren’t for women, those things wouldn’t even exist, but you probably don’t even know the names of the women who made that possible.
So much for “infinite diversity in infinite combinations”…
Who is the fake now?
i’m just laughing so hard right now bc it’s hitting me that there are geek guys who think that women would actually pretend to like this stuff to cater to guys. like it never really occurred to me the depths of how absolutely fucking stupid that idea is. ”we appear to have common interests but you still don’t like me so that must mean we don’t actually have common interests and you are not a real fan”. oh my god i just can’t right now. i want to feel offended by the fact that there is an idiot out there trying to tell me what i can and cannot like but i’m just too busy laughing.
Also, a lot of the current fandom terminology we take for granted originated in the Star Trek fandom, specifically Star Trek fanfic. And who were the major driving force behind Star Trek fanfic? Women.
Earliest spec fic texts in the English-speaking Western world were written by Thomas More (Utopia), Lady Margaret Cavendish (the Blazing World), and Mary Shelley (Frankenstein). Note that there are two women among those names.
I am so sick of these Fake Geek Guys who don’t even understand the history of the fandom they claim to want to protect.
Yeah, it’s always guys like this who believe the myth of the ‘fake geek girl.’ Guys so inept at human communication that they must cling to the idea that girls are SO DESPERATE for his attention that they devote days of their lives and a ton of money to cosplay/attend cons/staff cons/read comics/play MTG/play video games.
There’s cheaper and easier ways to meet guys a hell of a lot better than this doofus. Assuming, of course, that you’re interested in meeting guys. So many of the geeks I know aren’t… Inclined in that direction.
Trek was saved by women. It was the fan conventions and the fan zines and the FANFIC AND FANART that convinced the studios to greenlight the movies. That convinced them to greenlight the series. Also, the original producer of Doctor Who was a woman as well. We have always been there. They just chose to believe our contributions were unimportant.
A woman also executive produced the first two seasons of Doctor Who, specifically selected by the show’s creator. She fought for the first Dalek script, which BBC management did not want to produce.
If it weren’t for Verity Lambert, Doctor Who would have lasted the thirteen weeks it was expected to, and OP would be TheOncomingAbsolutelyNothing.
Julie Gardner also executive produced Doctor Who for its return in 2005, which is where we got the ‘Oncoming Storm’ line.
Truest fact about too many nerd boys:
I’m guessing this is not how the OP wanted his post to become popular….
