    “Stop cringing — at your future, at your failure, at yourself in the mirror — and stand up and look directly at who you are. Not who you should’ve been, but who you are now. Let that person in. Let her be as mediocre and wrong and shameful and sad and miserable and brilliant and hilarious as she wants to be, because she knows exactly what you need to feel good. She has plans for you. She wants to show you what comes next. She wants to take you into the future you’re dreading and say, “See? You never would’ve imagined this.”

    I hope we can all appreciate the impossible situation Will Graham was in. Every time he tried to fight Hannibal, Hannibal was like “Oooh are you gonna punish me? Am I a naughty boy? Are you going to point your big gun at me because I’m a naughty boy?” The angrier he got, the more horny Hannibal became. No win scenario.

    I love bad representation. i love evil lesbians. toxic predatory possessive relationships are hot. I love when women fight into a bloody pulp and then make out. I love gay monsters and villains and erotic vampire lesbians. I love when no one grows or learns as a character because they love being rotten psychopaths

    there’s just. there’s just so much to unpack here. I mean:

    - jensen emphasising this is the FIRST story he wants to tell about the spn verse (read: the destiel spin off is coming)

    - chaos machine's new pride icon

    - misha joking the prequel needs a trench-coated angel, which, based on historical data, only means one thing: the prequel absolutely has a trench-coated angel in it (our favourite one with the rainbow wings and squinty eyes, to be specific)

    - kripke causing multiple social media platforms to explode by liking said tweet

    - jared hearing about the prequel for the first time on twitter at the same time as the rest of us

    - misha absolutely not hearing about the prequel for the first time on twitter at the same time as the rest of us

    - the entirety of tumblr and twitter trying to fathom why jensen decided to make a show about a character the whole spn fandom have spent fifteen years wanting to punch very hard in the face

    - hot topics include: will john's shitty actions be ignored or explored? is the prequel really just a cover for a destiel spinoff?? or just an elaborate and expensive method of ensuring cas finally, in some universe, gets to smite john?

    - rowena considered for the prequel but not sam

    - it becomes clear danneel and jensen knew EXACTLY what they were doing when they named their production company "chaos machine"

    - et tu brute, gutted, bummed

    - the increasingly likely possibility that the french mistake and the mockumentary were actually prophetic visions (related: someone check on misha)

    - bobo berens and kripke add more fuel to the twittersphere fire

    - most of the fandom yelling "fight, fight, fight" at the cast of their favourite show six months after it ending

    - a complete, collective tumblr meltdown as fires that have been brewing in opposing corners of the fandom for over a decade implode into either vindication or denial

    - unprecedented scenes in fandom history as self-confessed ex-j2 stans quietly let themselves into the cockles trash dumpster

    - the realisation that jensen has been plotting this for months (important questions: how long has he known? when they were filming the finale?? at the creation con panel? is this what was going on under all that sexy silence???)

    - most of tumblr on tenterhooks simply from watching two middle aged men follow and unfollow each other on twitter

    - the fact there are still conventions booked and j2 panels that are absolutely going to happen after all of this

    - no one knows if biden is okay

  • lulu-zodiac

    an addition to this post, as there is clearly so much more to unpack:

    - in light of recent events, every j2 interaction from over the last year suddenly starts to hit different (e.g. the disastrous creation con panel)

    - PR advisors inevitably descend, and j2 craft poorly written apologies that only highlight the growing rift between them

    - an excess of bumpy road analogies appear on twitter

    - the already strained mental health of the spn fandom starts to crack, with many people leaving for good

    - jensen’s aunt goes rogue on twitter

    - 24 hours on and spn tumblr is trying to reconcile genuine sympathy for jensen with the delirious highs evoked by the truly unprecedented levels of drama

    - kripke tweets something that's probably meant to placate everyone but instead just further emphasises the rift between jensen and jared

    - kripke hastily deletes his tweets and probably regrets every creating the cw show supernatural

    - jared, without any sense of irony, implores people not to send hate on twitter. this receives an (understandably) mixed reception

    - spn maintains its political reputation, as trump's former legal advisor comes out in support of jared

    - somewhere in the us, a publishing intern is suddenly bombarded with lies about the author of an upcoming poetry collection, as, in an impressively horrible move, jared stans decide the way to solve everything is to send abuse about misha collins to his publisher

    - non spn blogs start to become genuinely concerned by the fact half of tumblr is still a blazing furnace of destruction

    - j2 stans continue to dig themselves even deeper into denial, claiming the entire twitter feud was simply a PR stunt

    - misha collins makes a brief appearance as the voice of reason, and then sensibly sees himself out again

    - some fans start to come round to the idea of the prequel, possibly because they've had time to consider, or possibly because, in comparison to the last 48 hours, nothing seems that bad

    - just as things are starting to calm down a little, jensen uses the word "canon" in a tweet and the fandom implodes again (this time at the implication of destiel)

    - jared notably still does not apologise for using shakespeare's words in vain against robbie thompson

    - jensen causes yet another (admittedly, smaller) fandom meltdown by changing his twitter header

    - "that's it... no more twitter today"

    - despite the poorly crafted and unconvincing apologies, mainstream media won't shut up about the j2 fallout any more than tumblr will

    - the schism between jared stans and hellers inevitably deepens

    - somewhere in canada, jensen ackles probably has a breakdown

    - misha collins does, as expected, post a nude video of himself to take the heat off jensen (*insert cockles joke here*)

    - 72 hours on and peace finally seems on the horizon as, on the tumblr dash, compilations of misha collins in bathtubs start to outnumber twitter screenshots

    - it seems like biden is okay (for now), but the real question is: has anyone checked on putin?
