Sam: hey Cass! I made you a drivers licence to go with your truck. Kind of a tradition between me and Dean that when you first drive by yourself you get one with your real name. Well, I guess two people isn't much of a tradition, but, here! I know it's a bit late but, y'know, there was a lot going on.

Cas: thank you that's very.............[squints at the details] the name is wrong.

Sam: Oh, well, you needed a surname and I thought Winchester would be-

Cas: No, that's fine. But my name is Cas.

Sam: Yeah, I put Cass.

Cas: No, it's Cas. With one S. My name is Castiel. Can you not- do you not know how to spell my name? Sam, if you need to borrow Jack's reading books, you just need to ask him, he'd be happy to help you.

Sam: Wh- dude I know how to spell! But we've been spelling your name as Cass-two-Ss this entire time. That's how you spell Cass!

Cas: We? As in, both of you? And - not Bobby surely? He knew how to spell my name?

Sam: Look, look, look I can prove it. [Pulls out his Blackberry that he's kept since 2009 and scrolls up a text chain with Dean] Look, "CASS said we're all boned." That's like two days after he met you.

Cas: I- this is...ah I understand. You faked this. You're doing a prank on me. Some sort of Gabriel-esque unreality game. I will not be fooled again, as I was when you showed me the video of "house hippos". Well played, Sam, but not well enough.

Sam: I'm not- urgh, [calling out] DEAN

Dean [yelling back from the kitchen] YEAH?

Sam: HOW DO YOU SPELL CASS? ONE S OR TWO?

Dean: HOW LONG HAVE YOU KNOWN HIM, MAN? IT RHYMES WITH ASS. TWO.

Sam: see? And Dean gave you that name so really, he's the authority. You're Cass.

Cas:

Sam:

Cas:

Sam:

Cass, resigned: our partnership has been built on a foundation of misunderstanding and foolishness. But still we must endure. Thank you for the card. Samm.

Samm: You're welcome. Hey. Did you just feel like a, reverberation in the universe? Like something small but significant has changed?

Cass: No.

Samm: Ah, that's a relief.

Deen: HEY EVERYBODY, COME GET SOME LUNCH.

WotLK - Garwal the Worgen (Removed)

Perhaps the most infamous event in the Hunter glitch community, Garwal was a phased, quest-only tameable Wolf that would transform into a Worgen when pushed past 50% HP.

The first known sighting of Garwal was in July 2009, a quickly-snapped SS of a Blood Elf hunter on Darkspear with a worgen pet posted to the WoW forums. Initially, the hunter community had no idea how the hunter had obtained a Worgen pet, and when pressed for answers, the hunter refused to elaborate for fear of losing out on the uniqueness of his tame. A global manhunt erupted on the WoW forums, MMO Champion, and the now-defunct Mania's Arcania in search of the 'how'.

Quickly, it was rationalized that Garwal was the suspect in question, and hunters realized that Garwal would transform from his wolf form to a Worgen when pushed past 50%. Once in Worgen form, the Tame Beast spell could no longer be cast on him. If the cast ended once he had already transformed, he would revert back to a white wolf.

To obtain the pet, most hunters used the spell Wyvern Sting to both keep the Tame Beast channel up while precisely timing the point when Garwal's HP would tick past 50% from the DoT's damage. If the hunter's tame completed less than a second before Garwal transformed, he would transform mid-tame and thus retain his Worgen form.

Garwal was an appearance-buffed pet; his Worgen form was actually an applied aura spell, while his true form was the white wolf of his initial ID. While his Worgen form persisted through his or the player's death, if taken into Arena where all buffs are wiped upon entering, Garwal would lose his Worgen form and be permanently reverted to his white wolf form. He also displayed as a white wolf on the loading screen seen below.

Garwal was a controversial tame from the start, as hunters who had completed the quest Alpha Worg in Howling Fjord could not be phased to him, and would never be able to tame him on their main hunter. Many hunters clamored for his removal out of spite for being cheated from the tame, and heated arguments were repeatedly shut down on the forums surrounding him.

While it was correctly surmised that Garwal would be hotfixed to be untameable, what followed was a step into something new for players and Blizzard alike.

The first attempted hotfix had Garwal's Wolf family removed, leaving Blizzard to the assumption that the pet would run away as it was unable to be fed. However, hunters discovered Glyph of Mend Pet gave their pet happiness every time they cast Mend Pet, allowing them to keep Garwal around indefinitely. This hotfix also caused a size bug, making him appear massive on some player's screens.

This posed a problem to Blizzard, as neither Cataclysm nor Worgen had been announced, but the issue of hunters running around with a soon-to-be-playable race was something they could not overlook.

Sadly, the second hotfix was the final one, as Garwal was replaced entirely in every hunter's stable by the Winterskorn Worg.

This was the first time Blizzard had ever effectively taken away a hunter pet, and the backlash from the hunter community was severe. In time, an understanding was better reached when Worgen were announced as a playable race as to the 'why', but to many it remains one of the most beloved and bitterly-remembered events in Hunter history.

You ask for fandom questions, Questions like THESE??? :DDD :

How in the world did you end up in this little football fandom of ours? 

The youngest memory you have of Supa Strikas?

What character do you wish we could have more of?

Out of any background character from Supa Strikas, which one do you wish would come back as a recurring character more?

Any ships you ship??? (Platonic can also apply)

Most important question (sorta) for any Supa fan, which team from the Supa Strikas Universe you would play for? And why?

TYSM!

1) How in the world did you end up in this little football fandom of ours?

I knew Supa Strikas as early as 2011; I started watching it around Season 2. I just didn't expect that it'd have a fandom here on Tumblr bec I admit that it's not as mainstream as Star Wars, LOTR, or Harry Potter, so seeing everyone here was truly a surprise.

And to answer the question what brought me here only now? Early in July 2024, I decided I want to franchise a Caltex.

Because I remember they sponsored the Southeast Asian release of Supa Strikas (I'm not sure if I got the details correctly) and I love the show so much that whenever I see a Caltex, I remember the show. And I got the idea of franchising it because there's this one Caltex in my home town that is very beautiful and everytime I go past it, I always whisper "I'll build one that's prettier."

2) The youngest memory you have of Supa Strikas.

Okay, this is somewhere around 2009-2010, I was ten years old. It was the very first time I saw the commercial of Supa Strikas on Disney Channel. Me, my sister, and my uncle all commented on the Caltex logo on their jerseys.

The first time, I saw the actual show, I wasn't interested. Then, my uncle's son (my cousin) love football so much that he started to watch the show. At some point, my sister and I joined watched one episode with him (I think this was Led Steppin) and found out that the show was so good.

Then I have another early memory, I go back to it a lot because of the choice I had to make. Back then, we didn't have the convenience a streaming site offers so when two shows or movies air at the same time, we had to choose one. My sister and I watch Supa Strikas on its late night encore because we can't find the time to watch it during daytime, and while waiting for it, we switched the TV to HBO and it was The Lovely Bones. We decided to watch it while waiting for SS, then it got so interesting we almost forgot to switch back to Disney. But before switching, we both stopped to decide. My sister asked, "Do we continue the movie and skip Supa Strikas tonight?" And I really did spent a moment to think, but my answer was, "Nah, I won't ever sacrifice Supa Strikas for this." The episode was Dancing Rasta on Ice.

3) What character do you wish we could have more of?

This is a fun question because I've been thinking about this lately: since we already had Rookie Season why not try to make another prequel series where it was the era of Coach and everyone else? Remember that one episode they entered a game where they played against the greats? I'd love to have a spin-off about their era.

4) Out of any background character from Supa Strikas, which one do you think should come back as a recurring character more?

Kat. Because I'm gay for Kat.

5) Any ships you ship?

Shakes x Riano. Platonic or no, I love them sm.

6) For any Supa fan, which team from the Supa Strikas Universe would you play for? And why?

Barka. Because there is nothing more I want than to be meters away from Riano.

Or I could also play for Nakama. So I can be close to Miko.

*squints eyes* Hmmm I'm seeing a pattern here.

And this is the only Ask I'm going to answer for now because I honestly haven't seen Rookie Season yet. It's like since I knew Shakes and Skarra used to be friends and parted ways as early as 2011 (meaning for more that half my lifetime), I kinda think Rookie Season is something I'm not yet ready to unpack.

So, thank you @mimpinightmare for granting this little request of mine, and would it be okay to borrow this question and ask this around?
