betraying someone who trusts them deeply is one of the sexiest things a character can do its unparalleled. cause either the relationship is irrevocably changed and said character is completely at fault (guilt complex, hot) or it isnt and then both sides have to deal with the fact that they care about each other enough to overlook the betrayal (unceasing devotion, also hot)

Imagine it: It's the 5th of November, 2024 and it's election day in the US. While everyone is waiting with bated breath for the election results, Jensen Ackles, (in)famous supernatural actor, releases the tapes (unedited recordings of Castiel's confession scene made with Jensen's phone). At the same Vladimir Putin drops dead from sudden failure of body that just couldn't take all the evilness anymore. Everyone is rejoicing when, suddenly, Steven Moffat appears on TV in all countries and announces Sherlock season 5. Furthermore King Charles abolishes the monarchy on a whim, the pope twerks and the mystery of the Mary Celeste is solved once and for all. While you're processing this information, you remember the ongoing election and learn that Georgia has just turned blue and Kamala Harris is president of the United States. Now, if you can picture all this in your mind, exponentially amplify the feelings you have right now and then you might even get close to feeling what everyone was feeling on DestielPutinElectionDay, November 5th, 2020.

A huge number of people are already getting fucked over when it comes to being allowed to cast a vote in the upcoming elections. Let’s try to minimize what that number COULD be as much as possible. It might also be useful to have the number for the ACLU written down (or already in your phone) so you can CALL THEM while still at the polling place and get whatever information is needed in order to see about having the ACLU sue them. Write down names. Get witnesses. Take photos. MAKE IT VERY CLEAR TO THE POLLSTERS THAT YOU ARE GOING TO HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE. (Unless you have reason to believe they’re going to be assholes and try to have you arrested for doing so, in which case, be as subtle as possible.)

Listen. Steven Moffat listen to me. I need you to tweet "actually johnlock was always intended to be endgame" on the day after the 2024 presidential election and then turn your phone off. I don't care if it's true or not I just need you to do it, please, it would be so funny.
