That’s all I’m going to say on that matter, although it is worth noting that he is finally allowed to answer questions about Destiel (the pairing of Castiel and Dean Winchester for those of you who are not knee or neck-deep in the fandom), and he’s allowed to talk about it. This is a welcome change from previous convention rules where none of the actors were allowed to talk about it at all, which has always been surprising given how supportive crew members were of it on the heels of “Despair” until everyone suddenly shut up about it. I’ve made the fact that no love is lost for the CW completely clear on my blog for awhile…

What I will mention, though, is that it was brought to my attention that the person who threatened to contact my children without my permission — my minor children, no less — and make pornographic Supernatural fanfiction available to them is attempting to circumvent what seemed to have been a permanent suspension of their Twitter account, making a new one with the same account name and different numbers. I’ve reported that to Twitter in the hopes that they do something about it, as have I taken steps to ensure that they do not directly contact me again by blocking them on my new account. If Twitter doesn’t do anything about their new account with my report (and the reports of others as well, it seems like), then I’ll begin contacting Twitter Support again as I had in the past to help get their original account suspended. A clear line was crossed when they threatened to contact my children without my consent.

One thing I always love: fighting in the fandom when you are on the same side.

This post is queued so is taking place a bit… after this started, but it’s still relevant. Of the people who ship Castiel and Dean Winchester together (Deancas, Destiel), there are people who ship this pairing and don’t really like Dean. They put up with him because Cas loves him and they like the pairing. And that’s not the first odd thing about this. They’ve spent a sizable portion of their time on social media shit-talking Dean, making fun of people who like Dean — even a little bit more than Cas, I like both of them equally so I can’t really speak to liking one of them more than the other — and generally being extremely rude about the problem that they themselves chose to create on social media. They literally completely made this problem.

Luckily for me, I have not actively been engaged about this even though most of the problem seems to be taking place on Twitter. And I’m probably going to choose not to engage unless Cas stans — one of my friends put it beautifully and wonderfully — engage me, and get extremely belligerent in the process. I’m trying to be the mature one here. It should go without saying at this point that the Supernatural fandom is alive and well, at least depending on how you want to classify the word well, even though the show ended almost a year ago (and simultaneously feels like the show literally ended just yesterday, believe it or not).

I like how Castiel just stands there watching the explosion, staring at the burning vehicle.
