Doing a poll on the Destiel website for science

[samwinchesterunderstander]

how life feels when you have the destiel tag blocked

[castielsprostate]

you just know misha read that take out loud and his face scrunched up and his metal hip creaked and jensen stopped sucking his dick and danneel had to gag

[clowndensation]

wait explain to me the destiel hatred i’m curious what abt it angers u that doesn’t apply to the other two ships

great question! the answer would unfortunately require 3 hours and a powerpoint presentation, so i will try to do a brief summary:

a ship sucking only ever has about 25% to do with the ship itself. destiel is bad in the sense that i think dean winchester is an annoying character that gets treated with kiddie gloves by the narrative, which makes him irritating to see on screen, because i personally dislike it when "men are angry and abusive because they just love too strongly, and don't know how to express it :(" is played straight as a character's primary internal conflict. especially over 15 seasons. it's boring, he's boring, and 35 year old men shouldn't be going to colleges trying to figure out which freshman girls are legal or not. hate him.

however the real sin of destiel, beyond the fact that dean winchester and i have beef that will only ever resolve when i get to reincarnate as the rusty nail that kills him, is that the fans are so so so fucking annoying. like yes the narrative frames dean as a golden boy who can either do no wrong, or "well, i guess he did wrong there, but what about how tortured he is :(" but good god. at least the show isn't trying to convince me that destiel is some groundbreaking lifechanging love story, complete with "omg this moment" montages where they romanticize scenes that feature dean either insulting, threatening, or humiliating cas. like this entire show (post season 5) is dean chronically either infantillizing and attempting to keep cas under his control, or holding him up as the only person he can rely on, thus giving cas expectations that are impossible to fulfill.

and don't get me wrong! people can like a shitty person and a fucked up ship. that's basically everything i enjoy on here. but at least like. acknowledge it. aldfkjalka. and if you're gonna like a shitty person and a fucked up ship, at least write about it in an interesting way. 90% of fic and posts written about destiel aren't even about destiel as presented in canon, they're about two generic men with generic personalities who suffer from the world's most generic tropey problems. cookie cutter ass basic relationship. the high school au of ships. boring.

im so glad that i found sam-centric tumblr first and that i am actively forming my own opinions about the show instead of falling into the trap of destiel

[barisiscourtroom]

wow. way to disrespect my wishes, anon.

normally i would have answered an ask like that, it was anti Rollins but not violently hateful, but since you clearly sent it as a response to me asking people NOT to send me Rollins hate, i will not.

and going forward, i will not answer to anything anti Rollins.

i still don't ship Rollisi, i still think she's not perfect and that she has fucked up, but i also know that that's the point, no one is perfect, as these shows constantly shove down our throats.

so while i previously could entertain some wanky salt sessions where i went a bit anti Rollins, going forward it'll only make me think of hateful assholes like you. the kind that makes fandom a less fun place to be. the kind that never respects other people's wishes because you have an opinion and it's more important than anything else that you get to say it, regardless of the consequences. to take another fandom as an example: the kind of people that has made me hate Destiel to the point where i get annoyed 98% of the time i see anything Destiel, because some of the hellers are so fucking disgusting (and loud) in their hate towards anything they deem icky (ie: anything that isn't their ship. ie: Wincest and Sam, two of my favorite things).

and i'm not doing that. this blog probably wouldn't have been a great place for Rollisi shippers and Rollins fans, not the worst but not great, but after you, anon? they'll be fine here. because i refuse to indulge in your disgusting hate campaign.

People using a lot of words to restate the exact ridiculous points of my meme while explaining to me how I'm using the meme wrong because their Blessed Kingdom is blessed for reals and our Barbarous Wastes are tragically actually barbarous they are certain

[supernovasilence]

both delighted and furious that there are 658* works in the Goncharov tag on ao3

because on the one hand this is objectively hilarious. I love people. but on the other hand this movie that doesn't even exist has more fics than half my ships

*I would have sworn the number was 610 and am now desperately convincing myself I misremembered it and not that people wrote 48 new fics between when I started making this post and when I went back to get a screenshot. also no I do not know what the beelzebub thing is about. that's just what the tag is

[freakwiththeknifecollection]

Ship names are being appropriated nowadays and it makes it really difficult to actually find ship content because people are putting platonic stuff in the ship tag

[destieldisaster]

Stooooooop praising the parallels

[tsukiyo-7]

This seems like a good place to express my Sastiel+Destiel headcanon that is basically just an endless circle of suffering in which Cas is in unrequited love with Dean and Sam is in unrequited love with Cas and everyone is sad but powering through it.

[confuzzledsometimes]

i thought destiel was some prediction event that shipped putin with us president

[destiel-wings]

Are you incapable of making your own post? Why did you add on to that poor persons Merlin post when they dont care about Destiel? And youre too lazy to make your own gifs lol okay. Please dont add on to posts that arent yours. So fucking lazy and annoying.

Hey, if you're the op who made the post, I sincerely apologize. If you don't want that kind of addition i can delete it, no problem.

I love merthur and i love destiel too, and I added that scene from spn to make a comparison between the two ships. It wasn't meant to take anything away from the original post, but my intention was to give it a new light in addition (as people do on this site) by drawing a parallel with another piece of media. A lot of destiel fans love merthur too and i thought the op could get more reblogs and likes on their gif this way (reaching another fandom too).

I know how to make my own posts, I did plenty of them, actually.

What i don't know how to do is gifs, and i have deep appreciation for people who make them, and it is my understanding that they like exposure for their posts, so that their hard work can reach more people.

This is why i reblogged it.

My tags on the reblog were about both ships, i didn't deviate from the original post ignoring it to only talk about another ship (which would've been rude), so i didn't think it could be offensive in any way.

[book-addicted-thing]

ok is it just me or is cockles a really weird ship? like, not sure if you noticed, but I'm pretty sure Misha and Jensen are uncomfortable with being shipped. their characters are one thing, but themselves? if I was being shipped with one of my best friends I'd be really awkward. not to mention, they're both married?? it's like people still shipping Frerard. it's just weird. be respectful of other people, famous or not.

[highprofilerichkid]

OFMDs, while I find your pathetic clownery to be even more intolerable than the rank vitriol of my Stucky fandom nemeses, I have to put my personal aggravation aside to offer you, along with my MSR besties, my most sincere congratulations on achieving what is objectively the funniest possible outcome for this round. You eliminated THE top two unquestioned juggernaut patron ships of this entire cursed website in their first matchups, and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better outcome. I cannot stand those fucking pirates but god bless. Love and peace on planet Tumblr ✌️

I think the biggest tragedy that the House MD Renaissance brought to this website is people thinking that House MD was pulling off anywhere near the same level of queerbating and psychological manipulation to its audience that Supernatural was doing. Like my brother was on the House MD fandom and the idea of canonical hilson was mostly laughable and at best a joke they'd play on fans once in a while. Supernatural literally had a meta episode in which a Supernatural themed play took place and it, this is a direct quote, "explored the nature of destiel". Like the actual word DESTIEL was spoken in the show and addressed. Like actual Dean Winchester IN SHOW had to deal with the fact that teenage girls shipped him with the angel Castiel. AND THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED ON TELEVISION. the girlies would have to sit there put on season 10 and watch the term destiel be dropped as like a huuuge wink to the audience like heh. I know you guys are digging this. And then they went on for another five seasons of the most ambiguous character interactions while fans theorized on and on and how x thing could mean destiel is going canon and y thing could mean destiel is finally going canon. Like. Why lamp and whatnot. Then they ACTUALLY WENT AND DID IT. they had their whole audience on the edge of their seats, for the best of 12 years, played for absolute fools, only to be told that they were right all along but actually they don't get to have this. Anyways unparalleled media experience.
