#Destiel Day Election Eve

[mercurialkitty]

Happy Destiel-Election Eve!

I come back bearing a gift. Here's a new 80s-natural destiel vid.

It's the widower arc because nothing goes with Tragedy and Drama like an 80's club beat!

A while back I created two guides on how to use Tumblr, which can be found here [1][2].

This will be a beginner guide to the references and holidays of this hellsite.

(December 10th)[1] Tomorrow is Halloween, IT'S CHRISTMAS EVE [1] Nobody smiles in February(February) [1]

*Nov. 5th was a wild day in 2020, we were waiting on the US election results, Destiel became canon, and there was a rumor that Putin was going to resign. The state of anxiety and joy was indescribable.

Please add more! There are so many and I know I didn't get them all.

[veryintricaterituals]

But what if we get canon Nandermo on canon Destiel election day's eve? What then?

[hidingbehindmishacollins]

happy destiel putin election day eve to all who celebrate

[tiktaalic]

Sorry for the sake of accuracy I want to say destiel is not yet canon in succession verse. It is Election Day Monday and everyone feels like they’ve been beat to death with a hammer and to top it all off damn we got supernatural on Thursday. Eye of the storm. Everyone is the most high strung they have ever been and doom scrolling all time high. If succession eps are one a day then the season will end on destiel eve. Everyone will be so so so miserable about the election and reblogging videos saying Last day of alive cas everybody give it up for last day of alive cas. And THEN come the “cas in hell: what level the Logan Roy on” memes.

A (Mostly) Comprehensive List of Tumblr Holidays

I saw this post about Tumblr holidays/celebrations, and there were a ton of them, so I decided to make an organized list and their meanings. I am also adding famous "fandom holidays" to this list. Feel free to point out any I missed/explained incorrectly and I'll add them!

Tuesday:

Supernatural Tuesday --- an episode of Supernatural was about a time loop where it was always Tuesday. Can be posted on any Tuesday.

Leave the Bog --- a meme with a drawing saying "When it's safe to leave the bog" and an arrow pointing to Tuesday. Can be posted on any Tuesday.

Thursday:

Out of Touch Thursday --- a video of the cast from the anime Lucky Star dancing to the song "Out of Touch" by Hall and Oates. Can be posted on any Thursday.

Thursday the 20th --- a screencap of a rapper in The Simpsons with a gold necklace that says "Thursday the 20th". Can only be posted on Thursdays which are also the 20th of their month.

February:

Galentine's Day --- February 13th. From an episode of Parks and Rec where Leslie dedicates this day to celebrating female friendship.

March:

Pi Day --- March 14th. The first digits of pi, 3.14, line up with "March 14" or 3/14.

The Ides of March --- March 15th. The day that Julius Caesar was assassinated. Many memes and jokes are made about him, the assassination in general, or bad luck.

Evergiven/Suez Canal Anniversary --- March 23rd. Refers to an event where a ship, the Evergiven, got stuck in the Suez Canal.

94 Meetings Day --- March 31st. From an episode of Parks and Rec where April doesn't think this day exists and books all of Ron's appointments then.

April:

April Fools --- April 1st. Also a real world holiday. The most popular prank is Rickrolling.

Mishapocalypse --- April 1st. On this day, Tumblr users spam one specific photo of Misha Collins, who played Castiel on Supernatural, where he is looking at the camera wide-eyed.

Neil Banging Out the Tunes --- April 13th. Refers to a photo of a rat by a children's keyboard with the caption "Neil banging out the tunes April 13th 2006".

Homestuck Day --- April 13th. The birthday of Homestuck, a web comic. It is/was one of the most popular fandoms on Tumblr.

It's Gonna Be May --- April 30th. Comes from a GIF of Justin Timberlake singing the song "It's Gonna Be Me". In the song, he pronounces "me" like "May".

May:

Star Wars Day --- May 4th. It comes from a pun between "May the force" and "May the Fourth".

Revenge of the Fifth --- May 5th. It comes from a pun between "Revenge of the Sith" and "Revenge of the Fifth".

June:

Let Papyrus Say "Fuck" Day --- June 16th. Someone who was annoyed with mischaracterization of Papyrus from Undertale established this holiday and it caught on.

July:

Dashcon Anniversary --- July 11th. Dashcon was a poorly organized attempt to hold a Tumblr convention.

September:

21st Night of September --- September 21st. The day referenced in the catchy disco song "September" by Earth, Wind, and Fire.

Frodo and Bilbo's Birthday --- September 22nd. The joint birthday of Frodo and Bilbo Baggins from The Lord of the Rings.

October:

Mean Girls Day --- October 3rd. This comes from the part of the movie where Cady's crush asks her what day it is.

Treat Yo'Self --- October 13th. From an episode of Parks and Rec where Tom and Donna have a day to pamper themselves.

November:

November 5th --- Multiple holidays. It's Guy Fawkes Day (a holiday in Great Britain where effigies are lit to celebrate the failure of a traitor), and some people post screencaps of the movie V for Vendetta, where it's mentioned. November 5th, 2020 specifically had three huge news items: rumors of Vladimir Putin's resignation, Destiel (a ship from Supernatural) becoming (one-sided) canon, and the controversy over counting electoral votes in the U.S. election.

Life Day --- November 17. The equivalent of Christmas in Star Wars.

December:

Christmas Adam --- December 23rd. It comes from a Tumblr post making a pun on "eve" and "Eve" (from the Bible). As the original Tumblr post describes, it "comes before Christmas Eve and is generally unsatisfying".

Almost Christmas (Means It Wasn't Christmas) --- 11:59 P.M. on December 24th. This is from Ace Attorney, a video game where you're a defense lawyer. The fact that it's not quite Christmas is a crucial piece of evidence in one of the cases.

DL-6 --- Christmas/late December. This is when one of the most famous cases from Ace Attorney (mentioned above) occurs.

Other:

Annoy Squidward Day --- either January or February 15th. This refers to an episode of Spongebob where Mr. Krabs votes for Employee of the Month; a screen cap shows Spongebob pointing to the 15th day on the calendar with a sticker of Squidward on it.

Fuck this Post and Happy Birthday [Fictional Character] --- any character's birthday. The original Tumblr post starts out with a user saying "People who celebrate fictional character birthdays are annoying, pass it on", and another retorts with "FUCK this post and happy birthday, Sonic". "Sonic" can be replaced with a character of your choice.

[confidentconfusion]

Voltron trending just after I watched Venom 3 last night, with the eve of Destiel-Election-Day just around the corner has thrown me into a pit of confusion and despair on this beautiful sunday morning

[smallboyonherbike]

List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox for the last 10 people who reblogged/liked something from you. get to know your mutuals and followers!

awww thanks i love this!!

going from right at this moment:

1) going to stay w my 2 college friends who are a couple this weekend to go to our mutual friends wedding and i'm so excited!!

2) cuddling w my pets (currently squishy the dog is tucked up beside me)

3) turning 30 soon!! (on destiel eve as i now think of it rather than election day lmao)

4) best meal i've had recently...fried green tomato BLT during work travel, DELISH

5) i can't lie, last one is gonna be reality tv. currently watching survivor, a lot of real housewives, and drag race USA when it's on - nothing better to me than other ppls drama and competition and backstabbing displayed for me on the screen while enjoying that my real life is v basic

[acedragontrainer]

tumblr holidays really depend on what circles you choose to be in since most of them are fairly fandom specific, generally you celebrate holidays by having fun reblogging a bunch of memes about it, there’s also weekly memes you might grow fond of that celebrate different days of the week with a specific meme, you can also force your own into existence by aggressively creating content and dragging your three (3) followers into it with you

let’s start with weekly holidays, weekly holidays are usually one-note memes that may just depend on reblogging one post or variations of it on the same day of the week, there’s plenty of niche weekly holidays so i’ll just list some of my favorites, again it really just depends on if you’re following people that celebrate weekly holidays

out of touch thursday is, i think, the biggest one here, memes tend to be various characters dancing to the Hall & Oates song “Out of Touch”, the most common one is the lucky stars video

flat fuck friday, you post pictures of flat animals, classic

leave the bog tuesday (it’s safe to leave the bog tuesday)

fingers in his ass sunday, on the eve of the nsfw ban tumblr came together to mourn the loss of what was good by saluting the fingers in his ass meme like it was being publicly executed in the morning, reblog the fingers in his ass meme video, it’s an mmd of sans and komaeda dancing to the fingers in his ass song, a meme song making fun of kanye west

trans gender its friday, tgif stands for trans gender its friday

sfw sasuke saturday, reblog the sfw sasuke post

radical saturday, reblog the radical saturday post on friday (and sometimes sunday)

it’s wednesday my dudes, reblog the it’s wednesday my dudes vine post, alternatively reblog pictures of budgett frogs (fun fact, the vine dude is mimicking the budgett frog scream hence the frogs), i think there’s also a kpop version of this as well (i don’t know, i’m not in any kpop fandoms), and there’s a star trek ds9 variant as well (It’s weyounsday my dudes), and there’s a german specific frog one (es ist mittwoch meine kerle)

penis friday, apparently this used to be for dick pics before the Purge®, but now you just say “happy penis friday” and stop there

there’s many more but they’re so small and i don’t celebrate many of them, so moving onto major holidays, we’re going to start with general tumblr ones that you’re probably going to see regardless of fandom space, i’m not going in any particular order, just listing them as they come to me

the ides of march, march 15 we celebrate the assassination of historical figure Julius Caesar, reblog memes, post strings of emoji knives, clown on roman senators

neil banging out the tunes anniversary, some memes have dates attached to them so we collectively celebrate the anniversary every year, tumblr loves anniversaries, the neil banging out the tunes meme is a picture of a hairless rat and a toy piano labeled “Neil banging out the tunes April 13, 2006″, also! neil recently won the tumblr president election, congratulations neil 🎉

Nov. 5, also known as the anniversary of destielputinelection day, on november 5th 2020 the votes are being counted for the us presidential election (trump v biden), we’re in the 3rdish wave of covid and everybody has to go back into lockdown, the counting has stalled because nevada is being slow as fuck and its so close that it could literally decide the outcome of the election, georgia and pennsylvania have turned blue (historically these states almost always vote red), on the same day the season finale of supernatural (one of the big 3 in 2012 era, inescapable, even if you never watched a single second of this 15 season long series, you still know the main characters and some basic lore) airs and destiel goes canon after 15 goddamn years of queerbaiting (this was the show that defined queerbaiting in modern television, but teenwolf somehow did it worse) in the most homophobic way possible (angel says he’s gay and gets absolutely nothing from the other dude and then is immediately sent to super hell after crying about how happy he is for admitting his sad as fuck one sided love, proceeds to never show up again even though everybody else including the car gets to go to heaven), destiel trended so hard you had major news outlets confusedly trying to explain fandom terms to normies, this kicks off a massive fandom revival, people who haven’t touched tumblr in years are logging back in just to revel in the sheer disbelief and anger brought on by this bullshit, supernatural memes are used to inform people about the sudden rumors of putin’s resignation, updates on the us election are being spread purely through supernatural shitposts, getting swept up in the flood of absurdidity more fandom news gets spread through supernatural shitposts: touya is dabi, bbc sherlock season 5, new season of ouran high school host club, hetalia is coming back, the energy that day was the closest this website has come to 2012 energy in years, it was great, this event is the reason big political news gets shared on this site in supernatural meme format, nov. 5th rubbed our brains so good we celebrate it every year in remembrance, this video sums it up pretty well

October 1st, halloween starts on october 1st here, tumblr is the site full of people who put their decorations up a month early, hell halloween posting starts two months early for me, reblog classic halloween posts like spooky scary skeletons remix (couldn’t find the post), dancing pumpkin guy, the heartfelt halloween comic, australians are confused about spirit of halloween stores, time to get spooky, spoopy, almos halloween, dancing skeletons animation, ghost duet, any time of the year halloween post, halloween cat comic, skeleton war memes, anything about the nightmare before christmas (theres so many memorable posts bc we celebrate halloween for two months)

thursday the 20th, reblog this simpsons picture of a guy with a necklace that says thursday the 20th, this one is fun because a thursday the 20th only comes around once or twice a year and if you want to celebrate on the right day then you have to look at a calender to track down the next one and queue it for the right day

it’s gonna be may, reblog gifs of nsync with the phrase “it’s gonna be may”, this lasts through all of april

havent seen this one in a few years but Apr. 22 is earth day, so we celebrate earth’s birthday

July 11 dashcon memorial, for those of you who are new here, tumblr used to be big enough and community driven enough that we all floated the idea of making a tumblr con and... it happened, sort of, it’s famous for being a giant fucking shitshow, here’s a great video explaining what happened, just past around the ballpit post and bemoan how tumblr just doesn’t make scandals like they used to

pride month be gay do crime, june is pride month and tumblr is very queer, just remember kids after june is wrath (also known as disability pride month), bisexual awareness week is sep 16–23, transgender awareness week is nov 13 – 19, ace week is oct 23-29,  aromantic spectrum awareness week is feb 19 - 25,  non-binary awareness week is july 14-21, lesbian visibility week is apr 24 - 30, there’s a lot more of these but i’m not going to go through and list every single one, check out the wiki list, (i did not check if any of these change year to year so don’t quote me on it)

March 23, Happy Evergiven Blocks Maritime Commerce Day, i know it’s fallen out of the collective consiousness but i’ve seen a few people celebrate

eurovision starts in early may, this one is usually much bigger outside of the us, in case you don’t know this is an international song competition and the us isn’t allowed (thank god) but australia is, the spectacle, the camp, the performance, the setting things on fire, the bisexual sluttiness, the petty infighting and historical drama, the big 5 absolutely not deserving their auto qualification, i will strangle the jurors personally, if i hear one more song in english i will explode, nobody likes ballads, the country that took the f and did the meme song this year will live on in my heart

remember the 21st of september, reblog earth, wind & fire’s “the 21st night of September”, this is another one you’re probabing going to queue yearly

this isn’t a strict holiday but anytime a major political figure dies we celebrate and spread the information through dancing crab memes and supernatural memes, waking up to a dashboard full of crabs and megamind memes when the queen of england died was something ✨special✨

kinktober/flufftober/inktober, in october there’s a bunch of month long prompt events that encourage people of any fandoms to fill daily prompts by writing/drawing, some fandoms also have their own unoffical yearly prompt events outside of october as well, if the fandom is big enough there may also be ship or character specific events

in the same vein, nanowrimo starts nov. 1, nanowrimo is a challenge to write 50,000 words of a novel (we write fanfic here) in thirty days, not often do we succeed but its fun to try and suffer

mar. 14 (3.14) is pi day, post pictures of pi or the number pi, maybe both if you're feeling funky

fandom specific holidays, some fandoms *coughcoughsupernatural* are so omnipresent that you can’t get out of them, but largely you’re not going to see fandom specific holidays if you avoid that fandom

mishapocalypse, if you’re new here then you don’t understand the stranglehold superwholock had on tumblr, you couldn’t go five posts without a supernatural gif, on April 1st 2013 swathes of bloggers changed their avatars to this picture of supernatural actor misha collins‘ face, they put his face on every meme, gif, photo they posted, everything was misha, you can’t image the impact of logging on just to see this face on everything, just your entire dash, there’s still a few souls out there who celebrate, but it just doesn’t have the same je ne sais quoi as 2012 era tumblr did

dannypocalypse, this danny phantom specific holiday is the spiritual successor to mishapocalypse, April 3 everybody posts this one specific picture of danny’s face on everything and anything, the phandom is still going strong, they just got smaller and weirder (affectionate)

on october 3rd we wear pink, in the movie aaron sits by cady and asks her what day it is on october 3 so we reblog the gif of her saying “it’s october 3rd”

anti valentines day, that’s not an official name or anything and this isn’t a fandom per se, but it’s also not widespread enough to be a general holiday, every year on feb. 14th the arospec community positivity posts and makes aspec memes to the point that aro/aromantic/arospec is trending on valentines day, less than a week later arospec awareness week kicks off so it’s great timing

may the 4th be with you, star wars day, big day for star wars fandom, there are memes, following two days later is the lesser known revenge of the sixth, small fandom rush of content for a few days

June 5th/6th is les mis barricade day, small fandom rush of content, everybody makes les mis memes

don't forget 3.Oct.11, significant date in fullmetal alchemist: brotherhood, reblog posts with the pocket watch

leif erikson day on Oct. 9 (it’s extra special on friday), reblog clip of spongebob saying “hey everybody it’s leif erikson day! hingabingaburgen”

annoy squidward day is jan/feb 15, post the screenshot of spongebob pointing at annoy squidward day on the calendar

oct. 13 is technically parks and rec’s treat yo self day, but the meme is so prevelent outside of that that it’s usually not celebrated on a specific day for most people, like yolo but for buying stupid things that make you happy

the met gala is the first monday of may, viciously mock celebrites on their inability to understand camp, share pictures of your favorite outfits, fall into despair after learning how much money was spent on dogshit designing, get angry about yet another dude showing up in a basic ass black suit and tie

MAR10, march 10th is mario day, to be honest this one is pretty corperate so it rubs me the wrong way, apart from that fandom uses it for a small rush of content

this isn’t really a fandom but in the us towards the begining of october highschoolers across the country take the SAT (standardized testing for college admission) and every year they have to read and analyze a different set of short stories, so every year they go home after taking the test and meme about the short stories for a week, this one is pretty small but every once in a while it escapes containment and you get memes about classic short stories randomly spreading through the wider tumblr ecosystem

obviously there’s more but i’ve only touched these circles enough to remember them

hi tumblr ppl! im having a lot of fun on here but ive heard that the ides of march is today and im not really sure how tumblr traditions/holidays work and how many there are ?? if someone can provide a masterlist and what ppl do on each holiday that would be very nice thank you :)

[feral-anthropologist]

So. It’s November 4th. 22 years since I escaped the womb. It is also Destiel Eve and I have a story.

Last year I was not doing well around this time. It was the “we don’t know who’s president” days, COVID was bad, and I was struggling with my parents and in a severe burnout and dealing with a lot of suicidal ideations. All around just Not A Good Time.

It is now November 5th. The day after my 21st birthday. I should be happy, but I’m still in a tailspin. And then… I log into tumblr. Nothing could describe the emotions of going from That to destiel election Nevada Putin chaos. It was like being injected with electricity on crack and it was the first time I’d really felt joy in days. This was what held me over until I was able to actually get help.

And that’s the story of how fucking Destiel raised me from perdition. It’s very cursed and I’m very proud.

[supernatural-jaeger]

1 day left until the anniversary.

The destiel new year is around the corner. 364 days ago cas confessed his gay love for dean and we collectively lost our minds and made the confession trend higher than the US election.

Today’s song is to get you into a party mood 🎉💚💙 but this outstanding amv by @chocolatecakecas to the tunes of don maclean’s American pie will definitely get the tears and the emotions flowing. It’s not a deancas centred amv but so well made that it should be on this, the eve of 5th.

Playlist masterpost

Day 2 <- -> DESTIEL DAY

[dissapointeddruid]

Imagine you, the first time traveler, go back to your young Superwholock fan days, and tell your baby self

'Do not worry, Destiel will become canon, on the eve of total anarchy, in a global pandemic, and it will overwhelm Putin and the US elections'

I would have shot me on site

[selffagellation]

Lord Huron Jutty Mean Girls Day being Twin Temple Eve is giving serious Destiel Putin Election vibes but instead of major world changing events it's just my personal music taste

[winterinthetardis]

Tumblr Holidays Masterpost

So I realized that I don’t actually know of a calendar of what I call “tumblr holidays,” which are days that are only really important to fandom/tumblr memes and you always make sure to reblog that one post (or many posts!) that celebrates it.
