Not anon, but I myself am a bit put off by the conspiracy theories, like you said, and also the constant demands and expectations that it be made canon. Don't get me wrong, I'd love it if Byler went canon, but I don't need my ships to be canon in order to ship them, and I miss the days when shipping something didn't mean demanding something from creators. Shippers are basically harassing creators on Twitter over ships now, and seem to think they're being cute.

@spectaculacularmooseketeer​ Yeah you pretty much summed up my views. Especially the bit about the presumptive behaviour around Byeler going canon. Like you said, it would be nice if it went canon, but my shipping it does not depend on it going canon. And there is no part of my brain that actually believes it will go canon. Like none. But that’s fine. I ship it because I like the characters together and love their dynamic. What happens in canon is a separate thing. 

(by the way this is not me condemning people for thinking or hoping Byeler will go canon - y’all do you. it only becomes an issue for me when y’all become presumptuous)

And yeah this whole trend of calling creators of media homophobic if they don’t provide you with the ship or the ship content that you want is really ridiculous and makes me uncomfortable. Like just because you built something up in your mind and are excited about it doesn’t mean you are entitled to it. That’s not how the world works.

Nice to see a Byeler shipper who's not neck-deep in conspiracy theories!

Happy birthday!

Yay, happy birthday!! :)

UGH NO

I’m not saying I’m for that story line, but it seems like they put way too much effort into humanizing her for her to just be a bad guy. They gave her a little boy and she’s all sweet with her “Mummy loves you” lines. Plus she was obviously rethinking things as she was watching Sam. And the interactions with Mick tell us that she isn’t in charge and may not be aware of the problems in the British MoL. I think all of that is setting her up for redemption and a team up with the Winchesters (but I could be totally wrong). 

After she shot, tortured, and mentally messed with Sam - even committing the worst offense against him by taking away his consent - many in the SPN audience are going to be against this pairing. However, I just get the feeling the writing is on the wall for her to be a romantic interest for Sam (that said, I do think the actress who is playing her is doing a good job of making her more nuanced than just bad guy.)

Okay, I don't even remember this moment and it kind of tilts my world a little bit (ooooor it contributes to my headcanon that she is this hallucination/dream he's having? Like this is who Sam wants to be in rl and to have a relationship like this.)

Why did it tilt your world? I think I maybe agree that it had the same effect on me, related to the fact that this was a proper relationship Sam was building and as far as he knew this was his reality for the indefinite future. I know the ‘Amelia wasn’t real’ headcanon is popular but I gotta say it’s not something I subscribe to. I worry that it often comes from a ‘Sam should have looked for Dean’ i.e. ‘Sam was definitely at fault’ kind of place, not that I am saying that’s where you are coming from. And what I like about Sam/Amelia, whenever I watch those bits, is that it is a real relationship - it’s not perfect or dreamlike, it’s complicated because they are both adults and they’re trying to negotiate the real problem of sharing your life with another person with all their hangups and history and habits etc etc. And Sam being tender and sweet and in a relationship arghhh I love it.

Because Sam has closed his heart to all bar his brother and this shows us he is still like us and wanting a connection. Making him more human and also raising his godlikeness

Yes I think you’re right about the connection thing - any time Sam actually says something or shows that he is lonely and would actually want to connect with people if he could (like in ‘Baby’ when he says about wanting more, which gave me another crisis recently), it always really gets me.

I would like to indulgently think that the use of this epithet in that porny masturbation ficlet is contributing a tiny bit to this crisis (allow me to think this pls)

Haha I don’t know if it was consciously contributing but it certainly may have been, I did really like that ficlet (NSFW reader insert at the link). I guess if pushed I would nominate ‘baby’ as Sam’s likely endearment of choice but yeah argh it’s just seeing it in action discombobulates me
