#this is my new fandom

[vampirevatican]

just finished slash fic... so now i have to wait til next saturday and set aside 200$... or keep logging in til i have 16k shards. for now let me just ramble and rant

SPOILERS FOR SLASH FIC BELOW (DORIAN VN)

EP 1-5:

so we're with our bestie, a theatre gay, an alt boy and a white, blue-eyed, blonde cancelled tiktok star... yeah this is a modern day horror.

riley really pissed me off... every time she was on screen she irritated me

she reads the incantation? "dumbass... WAIT WHY TF YOU PULLING ME INTO THIS?"

she calls me frumpy? "bitch i'm the only thing keeping you alive, you better bow tf down."

damien? god i love him. it's the aesthetic and his blush and as the game goes on i continue to love him.

the slashers?

mike saying "mine." hard. leather lifting me like a sack of potatoes? hard.

jay being adorable? "who's a sweet boy!!" ghost... was annoying to me he did not have me in the first half

actually no. ghost continued to piss me off... til the projector room. and it wasn't the smut. it was him taking down bitchy sorority girls hazing their latest member

that was the begining of the shift to lovers in enemies to lovers

leather... i... the way he relies on us and getting to spend time in his farm? no yeah i definitely fell in love. that's my husband.

oh jay. i just wanted to hold him and tell him he deserves so much more and so much better

damien can get hurt!? nooooo!!! i went back and saved him tho and... there's a small moment you share abt him crushing around here in the next batch of episodes and i... bb pls i love you

mike. he scares me. he... horraouses me. being and eldritch's plaything is... idk.

EP 6-10

I FUCKIN KNEW IT!!!

as soon as the talk of subverting tropes entered the chat i just knew it was that basic ass popular bitch

be damned if she's got a witch bloodline. her ass doesn't deserve that title!! and hell i don't think he mother (or jay's... different story, later) deserve witch status either!!

this section is also where my brain connected dots and started to like ghost more

ghost is stu macher... i like stu... so now, i like ghost.

protection, belonging, bashful, control... it's how i knew which of these belonged to which yet what i mixed up was ghost and jay but after seeing it... yeah no i started to pity ghost and like him even more

EP 11-15

RIIIIILEEEEEEY!!!!

can i say a bad word?? CAN I SAY A BAD WORD!!!? YOU MOTHERFUCKING BITCH @ RILEY

i hate her. and there's NOTHING this story can do to make me want her or pity her

"you witches play with darkness then act surprised when it plays back" uh huh papa, that's exactly what this dumb bitch does

love the team work boys, really... but not now

"am i just a protector? just muscle to stand between you and a blade?" no!! you're so much more...

FREDDIE KRUGER?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE??

ngl the halloween special with jay walking out the fire... is where my concept of a mc counselor that loves fire comes from... and the darkness taking over

darkness taking over?! getting to do wild shit? being mean, nasty, murderous??? sign me up in the shit is brewing beneath the surface. oh... mc isn't, damn.

"this isn't you" jokes on you! it kinda is. ngl if the darkness hit me and i was fighting it off id have my ways on my own but i guarantee it'd be the catalyst to me becoming a killer

i got a glitch and got to see mike... do things and just gotta say cnc, knife play smut fic will happen.

EP 16-20

more ghost! and oh... oh he can get mad and it's hot...

and oh no... he's sad... he's cute when he's sad

the hearts start to piss me off from here on out. i could handle missing out on smut. but comforting my boys?? missing out on lore??? fuck you (i say, becoming the fuck you girl)

i was able to get everyone's unmasking (reluctantly getting mike's with a spend of hearts that i was trying to glitch) but ghosts and then i get it later but can't even go back and watch it w/o fucking up my progress... fuck you (i am the fuck you girl)

ANYWAY on to leather

i love you bubba, i love you papa, leather is so important to me after this one

his family is shit and he shouldn't have been lied to by his bs siblings

there's a spice scene w/ ofc heart option but it leads like free spice til you get the option ("fuck you", im telling you guys i hate the pay walls)

anyhow the lead up spice actually varies the way you say you wanna get down with the guys!! and turns out leather and jay get along rly good

fuck pilgrims btw.

EP 21-25

jay... oh jay... (losing dogs by miski plays while i start crying)

fuck jay's mom, fuck the dunlaps (prt 1), fuck cultists

jay deserves better and im glad that we get to help him in the end but FOR FUCKS SAKE IM MISSING OUT ON MOMENTS!!!

i wanted to comfort him, hell i wanted to comfort leather and ghost in the previous chapters too and yet PAYWALL

anyway speaking of my second irritation with the paywall, i accept smut pay wall but you can't no- shouldn't have the story read like we about to get freaky and it's in his hands and then strip it away!!! especially not jay!! give the option before hand!!!

anyway... the way he's like “i want you to run. run as fast as you can, and im gonna catch you. and when i do... your cookie is mine.”

the way i folded?? rock hard. down horrendous. i want him. no i need him.

anyway then he protects you and you stand up for him (reverse order) and if you get points you see his face and... i...

my baby. my baby...

he's so damn cute!!! he's such a sweetheart. he didn't deserve none of what happened to him!!!

okay now mike.... (loosing dogs starts playing again, specifically the 'oooooo')

i... he didn't deserve what happened with him either and im so glad he can actually really speak more after this.

turns out he wasn't an eldritch evil, but rather possessed by it, forced to do its bidding, born alongside it

FINALLY WE'RE FREE OF RILEY, THANK GOD DAMIEN IS OKAY

wait a minute... DAMIEN IS THAT YOU?? if so... i uh... you can join the harem w/o playing slasher pookie.

and who tf is this counselor?!

EP 26 and 27

so turns out the dilf/milf counselor got possessed to be krampus...

yeah no shit is getting hilarious levels of ridiculous but if this is what it takes for a special sure.

honestly the halloween and christmas could've been separated, like side stories?? spin offs?? ah well.

damien getting jelly? oh bb all you gotta do is say the word, i promise ilu. you're in the harem too!! if i had 1❤️ option or a freebie id take it every time.

the guys fuck each other... I REPEAT

“they hate each other. but they also f🐬CK each other!!”

apparently mike will watch jay, and ghost and leather get freaky sometimes... it may be bc unbearable darkness horny but idc, they fuck each other in the void!!!

I have some questions about karaoke night, Alex Hirsch. Very Important Questions. Which I will happily scream at a poor hapless baby triangle who can have no answers for me, and possibly also does not have object permanence yet.

Follow-up that is I guess suggestive, but let's be real here, Bill's a fucking triangle:

Dude slipped right into his birthday suit, lmao

this is so stupid :D

Anyway, I don't care what anyone says, this brilliant individual knows what's up - Bill is absolutely way more of a monsterfucker than Ford could or ever will be, full stop.

I am incredibly serious right now when I beg you all, please, and if you have Twitter or Tiktok or whatever to please spread the word: click on an author's profile on Ao3.

You want to know if an author has written more? Want to know if they're still writing? Want to see more from them? Want to know if they've written a trope or kink or sex scenario you enjoy?

Click on their name. And look at their profile.

I cannot tell you how many times in the last six months someone has read a new or newer fic of mine and said they (a new reader who has read nothing else I've done) "can't wait to see what you do next!" I've written 50+ fics and over a million words already.

"I don't know if you're still writing..." click on my profile. I am. I literally wrote a 128k+ fic for that ship last month.

"Would you ever do X?" "Please do Y!" I already did. Click on my name and look at my works.

Archive of our Own is a library. It's an archive. Not social media. It is your responsibility to fight back against the laziness that corporate algorithms have trained into you.

Click my author name. Just click it. Just click it.

Before you demand more, or ask if a writer will do XYZ, or wonder if the author still writing, or anything - click on their profile. Click on the author's profile.

I'm not trying to be mean or condescending or anything like that. I'm just exhausted. It's disheartening and frustrating to repeat myself ad nauseam, because someone couldn't take thirty seconds to do the tiniest bit of work to see if I've written lately, if I've written more for their ship, or scan my works to see if I've written what they're asking for. Please. Please. I'm begging.

Click the author's name, and explore before you ask.

Bill’s past

Part one Next part

[dyleeart]

odysseus & polites & eurylochus

[secretmellowblog]

People who try to analyze what happened on Tumblr on November 5th, 2020, often really overstate how much it was actually “about” Supernatural. As someone who has never been in the supernatural fandom ever but dID join in on the hysterical destielposting—it was really more about the stress of the pandemic and the 2020 presidential election.

The two biggest Youtubers I’ve seen try to dissect “what happened that November 5th” in video essays both weren’t American—- and I think that explains why they both tried to explain the hysteria primarily via analyzing the Supernatural fandom/the original show, rather than through the lens of the election. And while those videos are cool, valid, informational, and make lots of really well-considered interesting points— I can tell you that me and almost all my mutuals had literally no knowledge or interest in the fact that “oh supernatural had made nods at the ship in the past but the creators were adamant that I wouldn’t be canon” or etc etc etc etc. the first time I learned about any of that context was way later, watching videos where people claimed that fandom history context (that I did not know anything about) was the actual reason for the hysteria.

But the reality is that people latched on to the Destiel stuff because it was a piece of big useless inane zero-stakes fandom news in a time when we were desperately waiting for serious high stakes election news. We were latching onto a “positive “ piece of inane stupid fandom news in a time of great stress, with all the desperation of a drowning man who latches onto whatever piece of wood will keep him afloat.

The core of the hysteria was that Americans (who make up a huge chunk of tumblr’s userbase) were currently glued to their laptops watching the live presidential election vote counts come in. These vote counts were taking an extended amount of time due to the pandemic causing high numbers of mail-in ballots, resulting in a constant state of Election Day Stress for multiple days straight.

This was also during the height of the Pandemic. People had predicted Trump’s presidency would be bad; no one had predicted it would be this apocalyptically bad. No one had predicted pandemics and lockdowns and hospitals overflowing with bodybags. remember Trump spreading Covid lies and conspiracies?? There were so many Qanon conspiracies about democrats being Satanic child traffickers who had to be put to death, and coup threats were mounting from the right wing side. It seemed like this election was a choice between ‘centrist democrat’ and “apocalyptic right wing conspiracy theory authoritarianism,” in the midst of pandemic conditions that people feared would never ever improve— and it seemed like a close election.

Another major point was that Trump voters were more likely to be antimaskers/Covid deniers, while Biden voters were more likely to take the pandemic seriously— so Biden voters were more likely to send in mail-in ballots instead of risking the in-person voting crowds, which meant their ballots would take much longer to count. And so, in many state electoral vote counts, it would initially seem like Trump was very far in the lead— only for Biden to slooooowly build up an agonizingly small lead as the mail in ballots came in, and then defeat Trump at the very end.

So you’re just watching these news sites giving live election updates, refreshing the page every 2 minutes to see if you’re going to live under a spineless centrist democrat or a literal Qanon Dictatorship. And then you go on tumblr to distract yourself, and there’s more election posting, and more agonizing over the votes, and more stress and despair—-

And then it’s been days and we’re right at the crucial tipping point where it’s anyone’s game and the next few hours will determine whether Trump will win, so you need to keep your eye on the vote count, because the next hours will determine the future of the pandemic and your country and your plans for your entire life—

And then stupid Destiel becomes canon! And it becomes canon in the silliest way possible!

If Destiel had become canon at any other time, it would have been a big goofy tumblr celebration? But we wouldn’t have gotten the insane explosion of hysterical interaction.

The entire core of it was the contrast between the inane meaningless stupidity of fandom news vs the actual stressful election news you wanted to hear! It really is best conveyed in that meme where Castiel says “I love you” and Dean indifferently responds with a piece of important election news.

It’s about the contrast between the low-stakes inanity of fandom and the massive life-destroying stakes of a terrifying election. There really was no reason it had be Supernatural specifically, except that Supernatural was a thing everyone knew basic things about from dashboard osmosis— it could’ve been any other equally huge silly fandom ship news about a ship everyone *knew of* but might not necessarily be invested in (ex. Stucky becoming canon, Johnlock becoming canon, Kirk/Spock becoming more canon somehow, etc etc etc.)

I think it’s true that people who weren’t paying agonizingly close attention to the American election news got swept up in it, and that non American Supernatural fans also were extremely excited for purely fandom reasons — but the entire reason it blew up to an unprecedented degree was because of that core of stressed out terrified Americans glued to their computers watching election results and suddenly receiving stupid fandom news instead, and deciding to just hysterically parodically hyper-celebrate this absurd useless zero-stakes news.

I think it was also all elevated by the fact that, as I said before, this happened at the crucial “tipping point” of the election where the next few hours would determine the winner. The fact that Biden began to slowly develop a lead in the hours after made it feel, hysterically, as if the hours after Destiel became canon was somehow the turning point where he began to win; so celebrating Destiel felt like celebrating that slow turn towards victory.

The tl,dr is that it’s so important to Remember the Fifth of November …..in preparation the inevitable hysteria that will happen in the presidential election on November 5th of next year. XD. Personally I’m rooting for Johnlock or Frodo/Sam to somehow become canon in the eleventh hour right before the democrats win
