OH DO I.

I have THOUGHTS on Supernatural. It infected my brainstem and I have had problems with it ever since. I'll preface though, I'm not in the popular crowd for analysis. Supernatural is not great queet media, I really despise the state of the fandom and the popular takes on ships like D.estiel/DeanC.as and the like. It's my curse!

You're right though in that it is FASCINATING. It is an incredibl(e)(ly bad) show from its filming (I know SO much about this it is upsetting) to the ideas it presents and the actual ideas it embodies. Supernatural to me is primarily told through the lense of Dean and is largely about Sam, which has massive impacts on the narrative. The entire cast is super abnormal. It's a gothic horror about the destructive nature of relationships at its best and its occasional half hearted critique of Americana blinds it to the chillingly warped values it displays.

So, my general creed.....I usually say I'm a Samgirl since I tend to find Sam focused meta to be more tolorable statistically, but while I really like him and Castiel....my favorite is Dean. I fundamentally think Dean is a horrible abusive person though, which is my problem, he's truly fascinating and the way the entire show bends to fit his self image is great.

Supernatural is just fundementally ridiculous too. I could probably talk for hours on the subject but it is a pretty miserable show about incesteous abuse, nationalism, racism and it is deeply misogynistic and racist and the like. I do wish people put that on its card more, since they don't even really lead with the tagline of gothic horror. Family is Hell is the ultimate tagline of Supernatural. The real fun starts when you get into how the characters define and treat their family though.

Ultimately my fan card probably reads like this;

Well, I'll answer both of these at once, though this is not something I have many interesting thoughts about.

3. What, if anything, brings you euphoria related to your fictomere?

Well....it's firstly hard to identify. Enjoyable events that make me feel more seen are usually more related to individual treatment within a system and is more generic. I don't really see myself as very canon-accurate Hal anyway, even if I would say "my timeline" probably was quite generic. I don't go out of my way to make robot jokes or anything, or feel very personally connected with most depictions. I enjoy making shades jokes though, but they're also just funny....I like them more than robot jokes, so I suppose I have a legitmate bias.

These are protein bagels so they suck a bit. The milk is to be chocolate'd though. My treat.
