"Damon Lindelof was right"
So Castiel had sex with a lady in the last episode of Supernatural, and the fandom lost its mind, which is predictable ... but it lost its collective mind at at WB exec who had apparently just signed up for Twitter. The Fandom DeBunker (sort of like Snopes for the SPN fandom and widely appreciated as impartial) has some screencaps, unfortunately out of order, but you can get the idea. In short, upon being prodded by fans, Chad Kennedy said that it wasn't their intention for Castiel and Dean Winchester to be bi. Kennedy then valiantly took arms against a sea of troubles before ominously tweeting "Damon Lindelof was right" (which I suppose is a reference to this) and bahleeting his Twitter account.

To be clear, nobody is really certain what this guy's role at WB is, what his involvement in the show is, and nobody knew who the hell he was until like ten days ago.

Another fan has the same Twitter screencaps with helpful commentary: "The writers are fuck cowards right now. They know what they did. And they know what they started."

One tumblr user with the screenname Octoswan is not only a SPN fan, but also a housemate of Osric Chau, a young talented actor who works on Supernatural. She writes, "Haha so it’s pretty clear that Chad Kennedy doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Poor guy walked into the belly of the beast and poked the bear with a big pointy stick. He said some dumb, uninformed things about a sensitive subject in a fandom he’s admitted to only just becoming aware of. Methinks he didn’t get the memo. Totally his fault for not doing his homework, but gosh, what a silly gaffe! //sigh" And then suggests that fandom go listen to some nice music or read a good book.

Octoswan texts Osric Chau about the kerfuffle, and he writes a note on Twitlonger trying to help fans feel better, including bits about puppies, kittens, and hot chocolate. It appears to work. Writer Adam Glass also takes to Twitter to remind people that Chad Kennedy doesn't actually write the show, and then he adds a hint: "If u asks @PaulMcCartney what does a song he wrote mean, he'd tell you he had some ideas but would be more interested in what you think. BTW."

So Castiel had sex with a lady in the last episode of Supernatural

So that's what happened. I was wondering what all those cryptic gifsets were about. I thought perhaps Castiel had stabbed Dean in the face screaming "I NEVER LOVED YOU IT WAS ALL AN ACT."

"If u asks @PaulMcCartney what does a song he wrote mean, he'd tell you he had some ideas but would be more interested in what you think. BTW."

That said I am kind of sick of queerbaiting media.

But... uh... how does his having sex with a lady in any way hurt the argument that Castiel is bisexual?

SPN fandom continues to befuddle me.

Bisexuality is Schroedinger's sexuality. You exist in a state of bisexual until you have sex with a member of either sex at which point you become fixed in that sexuality OR die of radiation poisoning.

Also, bisexuals are forced to live in a box.

Please send help. I don't like it in here :(

What's weirder is that both Castiel and Dean have had romantic and sexual encounters with women before ... this is nothing new.

It's not queerbaiting if they aren't trying to imply the characters are queer in the first place and have clearly stated they aren't! Though I don't know why I complain, these people clearly don't give an aerial rat's ass about actual queer representation. If Dean got a boyfriend who wasn't Castiel and they were very happy together they'd be just as pissed.

Poor guy walked into the belly of the beast and poked the bear with a big pointy stick.

That beast must have a fairly large belly to get an entire bear in it.

I literally couldn’t even be on tumblr. I’m like JUST now getting on at fucking 5am I literally cried, sobbed, talked to my friend, drank, had people over and drank, cried some more like talked to Shayla on the phone for an hour, distracted myself for hours avoiding facing the reality of this shit. I literally don’t know what to do. How to move forward. I was so unprepared for this. Ugh. It makes me sick to think about it.


I am going to start a charity to go to SPN fans' houses, stuff them into a van, and drive them to food pantries or other volunteering institutions in order to give them 1. a sense of perspective and 2. the realization that there are more valuable things in the world than a goddamn TV show.

THANK YOU.

I have a problem with SPN fans crying "queerbaiting" when the main actors and the production staff have all made heterosexist comments and been very clear that they're not going to feature a male same-sex relationship, but I wondered if that was just me and my personal "I CANNOT EVEN DEAL WITH YOU PEOPLE ANYMORE" reaction to SPN fandom. Sweet merciful Jesus, I'm not alone.

I was gonna bust out some teal deer, but then I decided it was better suited for Tumblr.

I will say that I actually got spoiled to this on accident -- like a fool, I went on Tumblr before watching the episode! The shipper in me was disappointed, but then there was that scene at the almost-end, and I think that's more important.

1) These Dean/Cas fans remind me so much of Harmonians, I think I'm having flashbacks. It's like some weird form of ship war PTSD.

2) The people related to the show must get the hell off Twitter immediately. Their comments do nothing but get people riled up and string along deluded shippers. It's such a mess.

I am loving Pokemon Y. And I already have a femslash ship in it, which the writers are probably not going to ruin for me either considering that they don't pay that much attention to that sort of thing in the first place.

My TiVo became convinced at one point that my roommate and I were lesbians. I have absolutely no idea what combination of cooking shows, Battlestar Galactica, Voltron, soccer matches, and Meerkat Manor led it to that conclusion, but for about a month it pointedly recorded every instance of late-night softcore lesbian porn it could find, along with reruns of The L Word and any made-for-TV-movie that even vaguely hinted at the idea.

Every time I think I'm a worthless piece of crap, from now on I'll be comforted by the idea that I've never yelled at a stranger because he's involved with a show that made a fictional character bang someone I didn't want them to bang.

Seriously, he kissed Meg, and said "I wanna tap that" in her last appearance on the show, AFAIK. Evidence suggests he's straight, bi, or straight and Deansexual. What sort of slashfic goggles to these people have on?

This reminds me of the episode of Friends where Joey comes on at Chandler's workplace for some reason I've forgotten and he invents a whole fictional life, complete with fictional fiance. When this gets out of hand Chandler shouts, middle of the argument, "Yeah, well I'm banging your fiance. That's right, I have her panties in my desk right now." Joey, wide-eyed, "You do?" Chandler, screaming, "No, because she's fictional you freak!" I really, really want to scream the last part at shippers who take things too seriously.

Every time I think I'm taking my OTP seriously, at least I can recognize they are fictional characters who have no possibility of hooking up and I am completely satisfied to explore the option in my own fanfics and RPs. I've never really gotten the idea behind the "SO THERE!" smug satisfaction of being canon. It's just not that big of a deal to me.

Fandom these days doesn't know how to draw the line between fiction and reality.
