#hellerism

the way John Cena tweeted this and then proceeded to FOLLOW a bunch of destiel fan accounts

........

Take Destiel shippers for example. We have our haters. Haters decide they wanna give us a mean nickname. The term “Destiheller” gets thrown around. Destiel shippers think this is clearly a very awesome nickname because well, our ship met in Hell! It’s so fitting!

“Destiheller” over time gets shortened to “Heller” as things do. Destiel shippers proudly call themselves “Hellers” and start using the word in lots of different ways. Suddenly you’ve got “Heller meet ups”, “Heller Zooms”, “Heller News” and most hilariously of all “Hellerism” to describe our way of life.

I thought this was amusing and decided to look it up - mostly to see what Urban Dictionary had to say about it (Urban Dictionary refers to it as a disease you get when you believe a gay angel and an angry hunter will become canon - you are a clown (affectionate))

But dear friends, Hellerism has far older roots, and ironically enough, those roots are still extremely extremely apt.

Here is a book from the late 19th century on Hellerism. Please take a good look at that cover illustration.

That’s right. Hellerism refers to the Supernatural arts of communing via telepathy and with the spirits and in some cases angels. I’m dying.

The following book was also dug up (I love how these books are blue and green lmao)

In general, Hellerism is mysticism, the arts of conjuring, talking to spirits and angels, and dealing with the Supernatural.

Also @/assrtdpzlepcs on Twitter dug up this hilarious article on HELLERISM EXPOSED

Where the word “Hellers” is used to describe us as “tricksters and amusement caterers”.

I just find this all so funny and apt and oddly satisfying and thought Tumblr might also appreciate this.
