#19 years of spn

[shedontlovehuhself]

Misha is honestly the best thing to happen to spn. He brought so much of what the fandom enjoys; the mockumentary, fun political lives, Gish, YANA, the beginning of sns(it was goofy in its beginning but funny as hell). When he walked onto that set the whole animal of spn fandom changed.

When Supernatural premiered on September 13, 2005, the CW network didn't exist yet. The touchscreen phones didn't exist yet. Tumblr didn't exist yet. Archive of Our Own didn't exist yet.

Happy anniversary to the only show ever.

[mishaesque]

obsessed with this shot from dead in the water in which the guys shouting from the dock are clearly two completely different people in sam and deans clothes but like???? they didn't even get the height the right way round?????

happy vessel day to cas

and happy anniversary to the ship of all ships

16 years

Happy Supernatural day!!!

[phrysic]

there’s a spectrum that exists within the SPN fandom where one side is a sugar-coated, superficially acceptable perspective of the show, while the other side is an undeniably grotesque and revolting but infinitely interesting perspective of the show and I don’t know where I exist on that spectrum.

does anyone else ever forget how long ago 2005 was and then Dean and Sam are shocked that John figured out how to text on a phone and Dean asks Sam what MySpace is because it’s the sort of thing only a college kid would have heard of?

Sometimes I really hate Dean....

I've read a grand total of One (1) Supernatural fanfic in my life and it was beautiful and haunts my thoughts. Canon as far as I'm concerned. Thinking about it again now that Misha told us about the discarded Destiel ending oughh

[vile-wizard]

Hello, lovelies! 

I decided to try taking part in kinktober for the first time this year. The stories will be all reader inserts and mostly less than 2k words unless I get in the mood to write longer ones.

You can also participate in the writing list with my FREE SPACE dynamic. There are some free spaces for specific pairings and you can shoot me asks with suggestions for kinks and plots featuring them. I will choose one for each character featured to write!

(I may still write non featured requests outside of kinktober, though. And if I get no asks for any of the characters I’ll just choose something to write about them on my own lol).

Free spaces available: Sam Winchester (SPN), Jason Newsted (Metallica), Cap. John Price (COD), Kakashi Hatake (Naruto), Cronos (Venom) 

I will keep posting my other stories and requests like Valley of Roses if I write them, even with kinktober going on!

[mybrainproblems]

i am so very sorry but i am mildly unhinged about the finale bc i am an absolute sicko who has watched it nine times. no, i'm not kidding. (sadly not live tho. rip.)

the short and Normal tl;dr is that i took a stopwatch to 15x20 and it...

is the standard 42min (41m48s) of any spn ep

has a lot of really long stretches in the back half where you can't drop in an ad break unless you want the chef kiss black comedy of dean dangling off a rusty nail and cut to personal injury lawyer commercial

i would not be shocked if the CW saw how the episode was cutting together (which i do think was happening late, but was bc the pacing sucked) and realized that they either needed to put another ad break in earlier or have the later ad breaks be a lot longer.* given the absolutely baffling pacing in the back half of the episode, i'm guessing it was less jarring to add another break to an earlier point in the episode vs killing the flow even worse with longer breaks at the end.

* i may be thinking of radio but i want to say there's some sort of rule around the proportional length of tv ad breaks?

for the less hinged essay inclusive of timing marks and some more spec... please, by all means, continue below the cut.

so about a year ago, i was going nuts from how many times i'd seen the rumor that 15x20 had been cut down and was (depending on who you asked) 3-6 minutes short from a normal episode. what an insane thing! how wild! how did they get away with it?!

i never really saw anyone agree on just how short it was cut so.... i opened up the stopwatch app on my phone. and lo and behold, it's the same 42min runtime (specifically, 41m48s) as any other spn ep! the crazy thing about a rumor is that the easier it is to fact check, the less likely it is to be fact checked. if it's repeated enough, it becomes its own truth.

also i checked the timing on both dvd and netflix! just to make sure!

i had an inkling that maybe the claims that it was short were coming from how the ads broke down the ep, so i started trying to backwards engineer where they might have gone just based on plot beats, scene changes and camera cuts. i would love to watch a version with the ad breaks still in it. do tv show reactor folks leave in ads?

these are pure guesses but the ad breaks i'm most confident about the placement of are:

(03:59) immediately after the title card

(14:46) as they enter the barn

(26:03) before sam wakes up in the bunker

potential ones i'm less certain of:

(05:57) right before the home vampvasion

(12:47) before they arrive at the barn OR

(16:41) after jenny reveal but before the fight starts

(34:01) before the first montage (super weird placement but the only place late in the ep i could imagine putting an ad)

the thing is that they are having to schedule ad breaks around the following chunks that really cannot be broken up:

(17:12-24:29) dean's impalement until his eventual demise - 7m17s

(34:02-41:48) driving montage until end of episode - 7m46s

there's the possibility that there were no ads from dean waking up in heaven (30:24) until the end (41:48) which is a truly wild length of TV time to have no commercials and why i think there had to be one before the driving montage, no matter how odd that placement is. there's also the possibility that the credits/4th wall break had a split screen with an ad break, but i doubt it for a finale.

totally separate but given covid, i can't imagine they would have gotten too much extra footage given the restrictions they were under. so there wouldn't have been a lot to "plug the holes" of cutting other footage. what we do know was cut from 15x20 is stuff that (imho) would have been less weird to pad out time than 7min of dean driving aimlessly interspersed with (very intentionally shot) sam moments.

alex, why the hell does any of that matter?

it doesn't! and yet it feels so crucial... fascinating!

ok so like. thinking about the fact that there was an extra commercial break in the finale

In 2021 I used to work for [major US cable company] on a team that manually scheduled all of the ads that aired on their network every single day. While the exact shit that airs gets put in there the day before by a team of approx 10 human beings (insane), the tv show schedule & the breaks themselves are SET IN STONE. It takes a really specific, heavy-hitting request from a network and a LOT of people & moving parts to make an extra commercial break happen. That shit is built into the system way in advance!!!!!

I wish I had thought to ask my coworkers if they remembered anything happening then. Things were ofc moving around a lot because of the election coverage, BUT that was in the news networks, not on the fucking CW. Do we think that request was made last minute??? how long did they plan to have that extra break in there?????? were they cutting that episode up until the last minute after the networks saw the reaction to 15x18??????? we will probably never know but it is gonna bug me forever
