and you're shining

I tallied up all the votes across multiple platforms (Discord, Tumblr, Twitter, and Patreon) for Sam-centric episodes to watch for our 2nd Anniversary Watch-Along Event on this Saturday (June 20)!

The results are as follows:

"Born Under a Bad Sign" - 34 votes

"The Man Who Knew Too Much" - 28 votes

"Just My Imagination" - 25 votes

To try to accommodate as many time zones as possible, I have decided to stream all 3!

The schedule for the event will be as follows:

3:15pm CST Pre-Event Episode: "Just My Imagination"

4:30pm CST Official Event Episode: "Born Under a Bad Sign"

5:45pm CST Post-Event Episode: "The Man Who Knew Too Much"

Feel free to join for all or come and go for whatever episodes you can attend! I plan to have some fun videos, activities, and chats going in between the episodes. We cannot wait to celebrate with you!

This will all take place in the "Live Watch Theater" voice channel on Discord. If you haven't RSVPed as interested in the Discord Event, or if you still haven't joined the Discord (for free!), click the link for an invite!

Please please please give it a listen and leave a kudos or a nice comment for her HERE. I am in AWE!! I knew it was going to be incredible, but it's so much better than I could ever expect! Sandra, THANK YOU! ❤️

I cannot tell you how incredible it is to have someone, especially someone as talented as her, read my silly little cowboy story. I didn't do any writing for about 15 years, from my late teens until a few years ago, because I thought I had to grow up and couldn't be self-indulgent. Picking up writing again has truly been life changing, and it's brought so, so much joy into my days. Hearing the words I wrote spoken by someone else is utterly surreal, but it's also a really, really proud moment. ❤️

A Sam Girl Retrospective Podcast Announcement 5:

“Supernatural and Masculinity,” a video presentation by Vic  (@peanutbutterandbananasandwichs)

A deep-dive analysis of masculinity in Supernatural, exploring: how the show portrays and reinforces societal standards for masculinity, the use of hunting as a proxy for masculinity, Sam and Dean’s relative proximities to masculinity and narrative power, the treatment of women, the “target audience” fandom, and patriarchal power.

The presentation was lauded at its first outing (at Vic’s brother’s annual PowerPoint Party) as “deeply horrifying and fascinating” and credited with “making me realise how much people lie about Supernatural on Tumblr.”

A Sam Girl Retrospective Podcast Announcement 4:

 Vic’s (@peanutbutterandbananasandwichs) podfic for the fan fiction they wrote: “Samulacra”

Written for the Sam Winchester/Jared Padalecki Reverse Bang 2026, Samulacra is a one-shot AU S9 fic based on art by @SamWinjester. The angels have fallen, the Gates of Hell are still open, Sam is alive, somehow. And after the last year, things with Dean finally feel…easy - easier than they've ever been in fact. But Sam can't shake the feeling that something is terribly wrong, something that will question the nature of reality, and of Sam himself.
