Types of fans you should never be if you ever want to date a celebrity

So, you’ve got your sights set on a celebrity. Maybe it's their stunning cheekbones, their charm, or the way they casually wear a leather jacket like it’s no big deal. But let’s get one thing straight—if you want a shot at turning that celeb crush into a love story, there are a few *major* fan mistakes you’re going to need to avoid. In fact, if you ever plan on dating a celebrity (or even just having a conversation with them without getting blocked), don’t be *that* fan. Here's a breakdown of the types of fans that *never* get a first date—let alone a second one.

1.The Stalker: "Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop"

We get it. Celebrities are like mythical creatures. They post something, and suddenly, your thumb is on autopilot, refreshing their Instagram like you’re hunting for treasure. But here's the thing: stalker behavior? *Very* much not cute. We’re talking about following them around town, sending them 70 DMs a day, and, oh yeah, Googling where they live because you’re "just trying to be close to them." No. Just no. Celebs are human, and they can *feel* that vibe. If you think it’s love you’re after, it’s more likely to land you in their "block" list. The good news? You have the power to stop being creepy. *So stop being creepy.*

2. The Horny Fan: "It’s All About the Body"

We all know that one friend who talks about sex *way* too much. While that might fly in some circles, it doesn’t when it comes to dating a celebrity. If your only thoughts about your celebrity crush revolve around their abs or how hot they look in that one music video, you’re probably not going to end up with them. Here's the reality check: a person is more than just a walking fantasy. Celebs are looking for genuine connections, not someone who can’t see beyond their six-pack. If you treat them like a piece of eye candy, you’ll find that the only thing you’ll be connecting with is a cardboard cutout, yes, the one you keep in your room. lol So, maybe start thinking of them as a real person, and not just a human Pinterest board.

3. The Shallow Fan: "All Looks, No Substance"

Objectifying people might be a pastime for some, but if you're hoping to date a celeb, it’s an absolute deal-breaker. Celebrities aren’t just there to look good on your social media feed—they’re talented, hard-working individuals with interests, opinions, and personalities that go beyond their Instagram aesthetic. If you’re only interested in their looks, it’s like showing up to a dinner party and only talking about the wallpaper. Newsflash: it’s not a turn-on. Celebrities (just like anyone) crave real, authentic connections. So next time you tweet about how "hot" they look in a photoshoot, maybe try throwing in a compliment about their *actual* talents. It might just make them see you as more than just a shallow fan with questionable taste in hashtags.

4. The Kiss Ass: "I’m Your Biggest Fan (And I Have a T-shirt to Prove It)"

We’ve all seen them. The ones who are *too* enthusiastic about everything their celeb crush does—like, buying merchandise that features their celebrity's partner’s face, just to show how “down” they are. But guess what? Celebrities are *not* dumb. They can tell when someone is being disingenuous. If you think wearing a T-shirt with their dog’s face on it will make them fall head over heels for you, you’re sorely mistaken. It just screams desperation. Celebrities want authenticity, not the world’s most bizarre fan merch collection. Take a step back, be yourself, and stop pretending to be their #1 fan—because you’re definitely not fooling them.

5. The ‘Just Trying Too Hard’ Fan: "I’m So Unique, Look at Me!"

This is the fan who thinks that showing up at a celebrity’s event dressed in an absurd costume, or dropping *way* too many "accidental" Instagram comments, will somehow win them over. It's like you’re auditioning for the role of "Most Extra Fan" in their life. Guess what? Celebs don't need another *performance*. They need a person who can hold a real conversation and not just be an accessory to their brand. So, if you’re trying to get noticed by being *super* out-there with your fashion choices or social media stunts, remember: it's not about how loud you scream—it’s about how genuine you are when you talk.  

---

How to Actually Date a Celebrity (Or at Least Not Get Blocked):  

Now, let’s get real for a second. If you’re serious about dating a celebrity, here are some **actual tips** to increase your chances of not coming off like an absolute psycho. Ready?  

1. Be Yourself (Unless You're a Stalker):Celebrities want to meet real people, not another fake persona trying to get in their good graces. So, put down that "I Heart [insert celeb's name]" T-shirt and be authentic. Be funny, be kind, and be *you*—not some over-caffeinated fan trying to impress them with your knowledge of their ex.  

2. Find Common Ground: Celebs have lives and interests that go beyond their career. If you're looking for love, start by finding something you genuinely have in common. Maybe they like the same obscure band you do, or they have a pet you could bond over. Get beyond the surface level, and actually get to know them as a person.  

3. Stop Making It Weird: Just because you’re a fan doesn't mean you need to talk about their every move. Keep your cool, and don’t bombard them with compliments or weird questions about their personal life.  

4. Be Patient: Celebrities have busy lives, and even if you do meet one, don’t expect them to fall for you just because you made them laugh once. Patience is key. 

5. Respect Their Boundaries: Celebs are people. That means if they want to keep things private or take a step back, respect that. If they’re not into you, don’t keep chasing them—let them be.

Follow these tips, and who knows? You might just go from a fan to a date. But, remember: don’t go all-in on the "fan" part of the relationship, because, spoiler alert: that’s not what they're looking for.  

Now go forth, not as a creepy, obsessive fan, but as someone worthy of a celeb’s attention (and maybe even their phone number). Good luck out there!

Love,

Hologram Cowboy

You know it makes me wonder what kind of world hellers and AAs live in.

There's actual injustice in this world going on, there's war overseas, whole families displaced and starving.

There's the two hurricanes that hit NC/SC and Florida back to back, people without basic necessities, people who've lost their home, people who will never recover from this.

There's people who risk it all and know they can get arrested if caught giving homeless people food or basic necessities. I know Texas is one of the states that has this law.

Then there's these fanatics, these over privileged people faking outrage on Jared skipping the con for whatever reason he had. People angry over fans choosing to only video tape Jensen and not Misha or Rob.

Where's their outrage over what's going on in this world?

The same energy they put into all this over who is a lead, who is a favorite, who is whatever, why can't they put it into actually humanitarian work?

I'm sorry I'm just upset over the same blogs talking about Jared and about "jenmish" and about a revival will have a fixit and it's all a little too much when there's so much wrong in the world and they don't seem to truly care about real world matters.

They care about no real world issues anon. They don't care that Palestinians are being bombed to death, run out of their homes; they don't care Ukraine is being destroyed; they don't care about the hurricanes that left millions without power and basic needs, like the wars; they don't care there's millions upon millions starving in the world, having their basic human rights erased. All they care about is their outrage over a c Lister because.........he stood in the way of a ship. What a scary world it is over in delulu land.

Why I'm anti-Misha...

I'm gonna be honest, despite his (very feeble) college degree and (definitely an acquired taste under heavy torture) literature, I still think the guy is dumb. He has very little to show up for, except those attempts on looking smart and staying relevant, attaching himself weakly (or for his own benefit) to causes that have very little to do with him.

And the logical thing would be for the world to forget him, or for him to become a meme, due to his top notch (insert ironic tone here) characterization of Castiel. A character, may I add, that had the potential of becoming infinitely interesting if only they had hired a real actor (you know, the kind who knows the craft and doest just hold on to the diploma for show). To all effects, given the mediocricy that seems to accompany this man in everything he is and does, it would be only logical for him to fade away like a dune is taken by the wind. But why didn't this happen, you may ask? Quite accidentaly, Misha has tapped in a powerful (yet finicky) phenomenon: fanaticism.

He leads on mentally weak people (in suble ways of course, although there are times he's not that subtle) into believing that they are the bearers of some twisted truth the world won't dare to acknowledge.

He tells them they can write their own story, which is true, but fails to act when the writing of their own story affects other people, like Jensen. The threats, the stress, the harrassment his "love" Jensen suffers from Misha's fans doesnt seem to affect Misha at all. He likes it. It pleases him. He encourages it.

Hellers behave like cult members, finding conspiracy theories in everything they can, keeping the delusion alive, knocking on other people's doors asking if they "found Castiel in their lives".

They brandish flags that do not belong to them, and cast a shameful shadow on real causes. (Mostly due to their bullying behaviours)

They even have cult priestesses, calling the minions (and flying monkeys) to action. I wouldnt be surprised if they started asking for donations to support their imaginary cause.

While Misha, their saviour, the good guy, profits from it all, disregarding who it may hurt (especially his followers).

Thank you for expressing this so perfectly. Within fandom, I often see women lose control and degrade themselves while sexualizing actors. While attraction is natural, objectifying someone to the point of dehumanizing is absolutely toxic on so many levels and can damage an actor's psyche heavily and I say this as someone who is heavily in touch with the psychological make-up of actors and the inner work they do. It's heartbreaking to notice people lacking empathy, finesse and common sense. Appreciation is lovely but it needs to be expressed in ways that are also healthy for the receiver.

Pedro is an immensely talented actor but no marter how strong he may be inside, the avalanche of comments are bound to take a toll and affect him so please, think before you display/express violating behaviors. The user above has an excellent point, before expressing it, put yourself in their shoes, would a man saying that to/about you be appropriate? How would it impact you?

"it’s not okay to continuously bombard men with sexual comments and behaviors without their permission." THISxinfinite.

Honestly this whole Pedro Pascal thing is getting out of hand it's scraping insanity. One thing is to tell your friends that you want to fuck him or thirst over him in your personal tumblr blogs like the rest of us common mortals do. Another completely different thing is to have people on his Instagram and other platforms calling him daddy and commenting what they want to do with him very explicitly and to have interviewers calling him the daddy of the internet or whatever the fuck. That's harassment. It is not okay. The man is clearly overwhelmed and tired of being called obscene things everywhere he goes plus online. Like what the fuck is happening. Can we collectively chill and start condemning this type of objectifying behavior please? People need to learn to keep things to themselves. I've seen literal grown ass adult interviewers telling him this shit directly and filming his reaction. Enough

The Impact of Fanaticism in the "Supernatural" Fandom on Mental Health

"Supernatural," a television series that aired from 2005 to 2020, has garnered a massive and dedicated fan base known as "Supernatural Family" or "SPN Family." The show's combination of horror, drama, and familial bonds resonated deeply with its audience, leading to a fervent fandom. While the passionate engagement within the fandom fosters a sense of community and belonging, it also presents challenges to mental health. This post explores how fanaticism within the "Supernatural" fandom affects individuals' mental well-being, examining both the positive and negative aspects of such intense engagement.

Positive Effects of Fandom on Mental Health

Sense of Belonging and Community Support One of the most significant positive aspects of fandom is the sense of belonging it fosters. Fans often find a community where they can share their passion for the show, leading to meaningful connections and friendships. The "Supernatural" fandom, in particular, is known for its inclusivity and supportiveness. For many fans, being part of this community provides an emotional support network that can alleviate feelings of loneliness and isolation . The camaraderie within the fandom can be a powerful source of emotional and mental support. Fans engage in discussions, share fan fiction, attend conventions, and participate in social media groups where they can express their admiration for the show and its characters. This sense of community can improve self-esteem and provide a buffer against the stresses of everyday life .

Coping Mechanism for Life Challenges For some individuals, the "Supernatural" fandom serves as a coping mechanism for dealing with personal issues such as anxiety, depression, or grief. The show’s themes of resilience, family bonds, and fighting against the odds resonate deeply with fans facing their own struggles. Engaging with the fandom can provide a sense of hope and inspiration, encouraging fans to persevere through their challenges. Moreover, the fandom’s creative outlets, such as fan fiction writing, art, and cosplay, offer therapeutic benefits. These activities allow fans to express themselves, process emotions, and find solace in creativity, which can have a positive impact on their mental health .

Negative Effects of Fandom on Mental Health

Obsession and Over-Identification While being a fan can offer significant benefits, excessive fanaticism can lead to detrimental effects on mental health. Some individuals may develop an unhealthy level of obsession with the show, leading to over-identification with characters or plotlines. This intense focus can result in the neglect of real-life responsibilities, relationships, and personal well-being. Over-identification with fictional characters or the narrative can blur the lines between reality and fiction, potentially leading to emotional distress when the show does not meet their expectations or when it concludes. The end of "Supernatural" in 2020, for instance, left many fans experiencing profound grief and loss, akin to mourning a significant part of their lives.

Online Toxicity and Harassment The passionate nature of the "Supernatural" fandom can sometimes give rise to toxic behavior and online harassment. Disagreements over plot developments, character arcs, or shipping (supporting particular character relationships) can escalate into heated arguments and cyber-bullying. This hostile environment can have severe consequences for mental health, including anxiety, depression, and a sense of alienation from the community that was once a source of support . The anonymity of the internet can exacerbate these issues, as individuals may feel emboldened to engage in negative behavior without facing immediate consequences. Victims of online harassment within the fandom may experience increased stress and a decrease in their overall sense of well-being .

Emotional Dependency and Escapism For some fans, intense engagement with the "Supernatural" fandom can lead to emotional dependency and escapism. These individuals may rely heavily on the show and its community as a means of avoiding real-life problems. While escapism can provide temporary relief, it does not address underlying issues and can hinder personal growth and problem-solving abilities. Prolonged reliance on the fandom for emotional support can prevent individuals from developing healthy coping mechanisms and social skills necessary for navigating real-world challenges. This dependency can perpetuate a cycle of avoidance and exacerbate mental health issues in the long term .

Conclusion

The "Supernatural" fandom, like many others, embodies both the positive and negative aspects of intense fan engagement. On the one hand, it provides a sense of community, emotional support, and creative outlets that can enhance mental health and well-being. On the other hand, excessive fanaticism can lead to obsession, online toxicity, and emotional dependency, all of which can negatively impact mental health.

Understanding the balance between healthy fandom participation and excessive fanaticism is crucial. Fans and mental health professionals alike should recognize the potential benefits of fandom while remaining vigilant about the risks of over-involvement. By fostering a supportive and inclusive community, the "Supernatural" fandom can continue to be a source of positive mental health benefits while mitigating the adverse effects of fanaticism.

Zionism is an antiquated mechanism used by power hungry Europeans intent on politicizing religion as a cult that has since radicalized others by default and divided people who used to peacefully coexist such as in Palestine. It's an evil that drags its members into a bottomless moral abyss such as what we're now witnessing.

Go away Zionism

Free Palestine 🇵🇸

Imagine having nothing better to do than spread hate through everyone's inboxes.

Go buy your fave some chocolats, Anon, he cant afford them.

Your tumblr friends as well as you are so vile. You. Guys really have awful personalities. Attacking people who get joy from Jensen and mishandling both as individuals and together is the most pathetic thing ever. Also try some fucking humour maybe then you can actually get some real friends and maybe be a decent person irl. also you are projecting things that are not there onto anyone who is not a jp or j2 Stan. You guys are literally the most toxic people in the fandom

Anon, my blog is AT LEAST 80% sunshine and freaking rainbows. I am very respectful of people who are ACTUALLY respectful to Jared and Jensen. Sadly, those people are very few and far between.

If you have issues with other blogs, go fuss at them.

[themoodyestj]

To all my readers...

I'm usually not much of a speech person (although I write quite a lot) but today I got this ask:

See, this Anon wasn't addressing me. They were addressing one of my mutuals that they think is me. A mutual who was brave enough to share their story of abuse. A mutual who this Anon felt entitled to harrass, using a very painful period of their live, for the sake of what? Apparently Danneel Ackles. Well, one thing I know for sure. Even if just for the sake of image, Danneel Ackles wouldn't touch this Anon with a ten feet pole. Much less her husband. There is no way this disgusting behaviour is justifiable.

WEAPONIZING ABUSE IS NOT OK.

I know that the normal route of things is to delete and block. Nobody wants to see this ugliness. Some people have closed their Anon asks altogether.

Well, I believe this behavior is shameful and exceeds what I would call delulu behavior. This is evil. This is zero respect for the human condition. And it needs to be called out.

I ask the AAs and Hellers of this Tumblr, do you claim this as yours? Do you condone to this type of behavior? Do you find it justifiable? And to my readers and mutuals, if you are disgusted by this as much as I am, I ask you to reblog with #againstweaponizingabuse and/or #supportingabusevictims. Let's expose this once and for all.

idk if it’s just me but i always side-eye negative stories about jensen (which doesn’t happen that often tbh) because ive seen first hand how much people twist his words, on all sides of the fandom. like im not saying he’s perfect or anything but there’s so many things he literally can’t win on because no answer will ever be good enough. it’s predominantly jared fans who do this but ive seen plenty of people from other sides straight up just lie about things he’s said/done to make him look bad. it happens to misha as well tbh but jensen seems to get it from jenmish fans *and* j2 fans.

I don’t think it’s normal to side eye negative stories. No human is always perfect, especially celebrities who live in a land mine of drugs and prostitution. Always take things with a grain of salt and do your own research but don’t dismiss a story solely on the fact that it is negative. Some of the smiliest most worshipped celebs in this world have characters that could make you scared shitless. What I am trying to say is not all that glitters is gold, be cautious and don’t discard a red flag until you’ve cleared it.

When it’s the zombie apocalypse and your stuck with a misogynist religious fanatic in your group

[themoodyestj]

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST, ANON! What was that all about? You sound deranged, honey.

This isn't you hating on Jared, then? So...are you talking about Jensen? Because, by the description, I'd swear it was Misha. Please elaborate.

Erm... What are you doing in her inbox, then? Taking a stroll? Or butthurt because your brain cant understand the simple concept of "dont like dont read"? Do you need a drawing to understand that? Can you focus enough to understand that?

Well, do you? Since youre so bent on telling her all the things shes saying wrong, you must, right? But if you... the fuck you doing here, darling? Dont you have sweaty horny men fanfic to write? So much better than hate, is it not?

Ok, I get it. So Jensen is only a puppet for you to use in your parasexual fantasies, no one elses. Got it! Lemme write it down.

You, delulu, you need help. Badly. You are so delusional, so sick in your fantasy, wanting it to be real so bad, that you come into someone else's account to spew hate just because that person wrote things that you dont like. And sock accounts? wouldnt it be simpler to go ANON, just like you did? Show your face, then, be the bigger person! If you have the nerve to talk so much hate, have the balls to back it up. And hey, if it makes you happy, should be super easy to get your fave all for yourself. I heard no one wants him anymore. ;)

You are completely so fucking stupid, just because people prefer jenmish they hate Jared? grow the fuck up. and you stanning a person who is mentally a child is pathethic. oh wait you are mentally a child as well, getting pressed over a fictional ship is pathetic. and don't act like you know Jensen personally or his thoughts and feelings. you parasocial fuck. get a fucking life, Jensen isn't a fucking puppet for you to use for your fucking para-sexual fantasies. you need to be permentally locked up in a psychiatric ward allway with your mutals and friends and the fact you pretend to have children when in reality they are your sock accounts is utterly pathertic, no ones actually likes you they are just humouring you and you and you fucked up brain are too egomamiac to realise how delutional you sound.

Wow.

Five, no wait, six days. That’s how long it took for my haters to find out anon asks was on and have a meltdown.

And look! Dehumanization galore! And yes, anon, you are hating on Jared. I’ve yet to met a genuine J2M fan who doesn’t subtly hate on Jared, because he stands in the way of their fantasies.

You say I’m being parasocial. Okay. How aren’t you being parasocial by wanting Jensen and Misha to fuck? Or have Destiel to happen, even though the show’s been over for four years and was never canon?

What do I do? I write observations of the human behavior. I never leave my blog to hate on others. Ever. I ignore my haters, even when they dehumanize me and then try to pretend they’re good people. I’ve tried to stay above it all, to not sink to their level. I won’t sink to yours.

Hate me all you want, anon.

You’re just proving me right, again and again.

Meanwhile, what do I do? I write about how worried I am about Jensen. About how happy I am for his career. Celebrate his joy with Jared. Then I talk about abuse, to help people notice the signs. To help them. I write about my family that I love dearly.

I enjoy talking with other bloggers, and I imagine they enjoy talking with me. If it helps you to think I’m unloved and unwanted and unliked, go for it. Let that delusion be a balm to your wounded ego.

Meanwhile, I’m gonna go live my best life, enjoy being a gossip columnist of three fantastic Texans, a cat mom, a writer, a mother, and friend.

Thanks for the talk.

And its not stopping. Taking different names, perhaps, but its always the same dynamic. Id be embarrassed as a celebrity to have people attacking others in my name. But some actually enjoy it and milk it for relevance.

7+yrs this hate has been going on!

Louisiana House passes bill to make abortion pills a controlled dangerous substance

The measure would make possession of the medications without valid prescriptions or orders from medical professionals punishable by up to five years in prison, with an exception for pregnant people.

Louisiana is also a Catholic Church stronghold and very likely a big Trafficking hub.

To the Anons in my inbox...

As much as I enjoy their work, as much as I find it extremely entertaining and I am a wee bit jealous (in a good way) it wasn't my idea... @0dayssincejensenwasobjectified is not my blog.

And no, I wont pass your messages to them either or post them here, this isnt highschool.

But it sure is fun to watch how they all got your panties in a twist.(hihihih) Consider my pearls clutched with intrigue.
