#spn end

One last time 

Let’s take a break tonight 

And then we’ll teach them how to say goodbye 

But they screwed up something more.

Sam.

They made him look like a douche who gives zero fucks about anybody other than himself.

Sam wanted a white picket fence life in the beginning. The whole fucking point of a 15 years old show was to show the characters grow.

They made Sam go back to square one.

I've already seen so many posts about Sam being a selfish douchebag, but please don't let the shitshow finale make everything else that happened for the last 15 years fake.

Finale Sam was a jerk that nobody likes. But that is NOT the real Sam. That is not the Sam I loved and I still love.

Sam is the hero who jumped into the pit thinking he'll stay there for eternity. He is the hero who helped the girl in the mental institution even when he was losing his mind. Sam Winchester is the hero who wouldn't think twice before taking a bullet to his chest to save a stranger.

If anybody knew Family don't end in blood, it was Sam. He stood up against John Winchester for both himself and his brother.

Remember all the times Dean was being a downright ass to Cas? Remember who stood up for Cas? Yes, Sam.

Sam Winchester today is a misunderstood hero because the showrunners who give zero shits about him decided to do him dirty.

And we all fell for it? We all started hating on Sam?!?!?

I am a destiel shipper and I stan Cas. And I also know I love Sam with all of my heart.

This time last year, I was gearing up to brace myself for the spring when we were supposed to see the last day on set photos, and then saw the final episodes. Instead, we unwillingly had to take part in the longest goodbye. #ThankYouSupernatural

There's so much that I am personally thankful for, that I know my friends are thankful for, and then we see the cast and crew express their thanks and love all around. It's heartbreaking, especially this year, but it's also bracing.

I, personally, am thanking this show, cast, crew, for inspiring me in many ways. First, it was picking up art supplies & getting to work with some fanart. Then, it was sitting my ass down in front of a computer and writing stories I was proud of for the first time in my life.

I'm also personally thankful for this show because of the fandom it created, bumps and bruises included. I wrote a love letter to the fandom on New Years Eve on Tumblr as we were all realizing we had turned the corner into the final stretch.

I'm also thankful for all the charity work that has been done, and how personable the cast and crew is. Sometimes it's for better or for worse, but regardless, we have this dynamic that few other shows can say they have. It DOES feel like we're part of a family.

I'm thankful for outstanding writing and acting that really helped me escape life sometimes when it was too frustrating. I began watching the show in the summer between 8 and 9 during a really rough time and it instantly helped me feel calmer (ironically lol).

I'm thankful we had this show for so long. My biggest fear when I had started watching it was that I was only going to get a season or 2 before it was over. I was used to shorter shows. But I got to spend seven years with this show more or less. And for that I'm grateful

I'm thankful that this show and fandom has inspired others. I've never seen such a creative fandom when it comes to art, writing, and other creative outlets. Charity events, jewelry, clothing, digital and traditional art, WONDERFUL stories.

That's one thing I hope people really remember about the show and its connection with the fandom, just how inspirational it was for countless others who put so much good into the world with their creative spirit and good heart.

This long goodbye has been one of the hardest things we've ever had to deal with both on the fandom side and I can imagine on the cast and crew side. This year took a sharp right into Weirdoland and how we thought the finale was going to play out was suddenly suspended.

But I'm thankful for the cast & the crew and really the whole #SPNFam for working together to get through such a rough time. I know the weirdness is continuing, but I'm very thankful the cast and crew figured out a way to get back on set to finish. It couldn't have been easy

During the last several months, since it was announced SPN had halted production combined with just the stress of life at the time, I deviated away from social media and wasn't in the fandom as much as I usually am. But even time I checked back in, it was full of love.

That's what I'm truly thankful for. Just this entire environment built with hard work for both cast and crew and the fandom side of things. It's why this fandom won't go away any time soon.

Honestly, I could write a book with how thankful I am for this show, that I stumbled into the show, for all the blood sweat, and tears that have been put into the show and subsequently, the fandom--I think we all could.
