#spn watches merlin

[sncrlynwtms]

"i was born in the wrong generation" I wasn't. i love existing at the same time as fan culture. i love knowing I can make a post saying "character a wears big ass pants and is obsessed with character b's thighs" and fifty percent of people are gonna agree with me while the other half call me a dumb bitch because of it. it's great.

So my bestie has watched Supernatural and Sherlock, so I'm making them complete the trifecta as it's a canon event

Is there a gif set with dean hugging cas in purgatory and Arthur hugging Merlin when he is covered in mud?

[peanutbutterjelly-pie]

Today I watched the first two episodes of the new "Good Omens" and wrote 3k words of my newest Merthur fic, I'd say that's a productive day 👌

Does anyone else go though youtube so deep at after midnight before a test to procrastinate and watch compilations of funny moments of a tv show you've never watched.

Or ships of shows you don't even know exist.

Just me....ok

10 supernatural and it can't be gentrification or john, 19 merlin

ok, but you say "it can't be gentrification or john" like i don't have 60000 other issues. fish in a barrel.

10. worst part of fanon

well, i could cheat and say every single thing going on with sam, especially post s6. but i hate specifically that deancas fics are always getting rid of him or that he's just there to react to deancas. like, i know the point of a deancas fic is dean and cas, but i'm unhappy in general with the idea of cas replacing sam as dean's #1 priority, especially in the name of ""mental health"" which is a rant that gets too close to gentrification so i'll move on.

it's just plain out of character for dean not to put sam at #1, and i think part of what makes cas such a great fit for him is that cas is probably the only person on earth who sees that and can roll with it accordingly. just think of how it went with lisa once sam came back into dean's life...he couldn't have both, so he chose sam. he wouldn't run into that problem with cas because cas WOULD ALSO choose sam, on dean's behalf. the only thing cas would put before all of that is jack (his own personal sam), which is why he was so betrayed when dean made jack get in a box and also made him hang out with his dead baby. dean should have reciprocated by putting Jack First, cas expected him to do that because they have been de facto coparenting jack the way they not-quite coparented sam (cas by no means has a parental relationship w sam, but prioritizes him as a parent would). and dean was just like "nah," and for that he OF COURSE deserves to die

anyway, it's a very nontraditional family dynamic/layout which is kind of the point of ~found families~ and all of that in general, and aside from being annoying and insulting when people write sam out of it, it's also BOOORING. i can read about two damaged men fucking anywhere in the migratory slash fandom canon. do BETTERRR

19. you’re mad/ashamed/horrified you actually kind of like…

sigh. i'll say it. bradley james...is not the worst human being to look at in the later seasons. is he Hot? i wouldn't go that far. but he's not Not Hot either.

takes a deep breath not to be possessed by my teenage self, but having rewatched a couple of sp/n s1 episodes, i truly understand why i used to be obsessed with this show.

[hellverse]

the more i find out about merlin the more i’m convinced i’ll be a shell of a human by the time i finish watching

[lightningstorm003]

This person gets it! Now you fill in the gaps with fandom life: bring in the fanart, fics, and cosplay!!

I’m actually kind of amazed how many people do not understand this concept

[silverdrws]

most of my old merlin wip cause my hyperfixation left them for castiel and i’ll probably never gonna finish any of these

this is was so proud of the background but while i was drawing this i started watching spn

for my dark cryptid! merlin au

a scientist! merlin & creature! arthur

and a “arthur tries weird modern food” series

To be honest, most of the interviews befor/after episodes reminde me of actor/show runner interviews from 10-15 years ago, when straight up queer baiting was the thing you do. 911 may not queer bait, but boy, you basically barely can trust a thing from interviews. There is no vagueness, no teasing, just lying in the face of the audience. And that will always be a thing that irks me. Regardless of what show it is. (e.g. there will be tension between Hen and Chim, because Mara - no, there was not. There will be a hurdle for Buck and Tommy to overcome - I guess you can call it that.) Man, it's so tiring to witness this kind of stuff AGAIN.

I honestly didn't engage with the interviews/media of most of the not-queer-but-if-you-dance-for-me-we'll-let-you-eat-this-dog-shit-with-sprinkles-cake for shows that I have previously watched. Merlin, SPN, Teen Wolf, Marvel anything (not you Deadpool) - I am tangentially aware of the shit that actors and creators got up to in media spaces and how some of them leaned hard into either the rpf or the fanon ship and even sometimes fandom spaces, but I never really experienced it first hand.

But I understand what you mean. There were a lot, A LOT of flat out lies, a lot of exaggerations, a lot of plain old bullshit. Not a single plotline in the front 6 has had any real impact on where the show is at right now, and honestly there's been a shit ton of regression. So much potential that they just never followed through on.

I wish Anarudh was the kind of person willing to fully spill the tea, or that Lou wasn't so gracious. I also fully understand they want to keep working in the industry and therefore will not ever say a bad word unless something spectacularly terrible is revealed to the general public and we see the cracks. I fully expect The Mouse to shove a pillow over any queer rep that wasn't in S1E1 and just slowly suffocate it unless they can make it sexy.

I am. Very disappointed. I wish I was more surprised.

[bestkeptbasement]

as somebody who has not watched a single episode of "merlin" in my life, i imagine this is what it feels like for people who aren't in the spn fandom every time supernatural trends (every other month).

[acetheta]

HELP i know. some about spn because of media plus my sib was OBSESSED

constantly seeing certain mutuals posting about that one firefighter show and im going to be so honest ive been trying to figure out what the plot of it just from what people are posting but i am soooo lost. i genuinely do not know. you could tell me that those men are time travelers who use swords to fight off evil fires or smth and i'd believe you at this point.
