14. Unpopular opinion about your fandom?
I’m not sure what passes as “unpopular” these days. I mean, I see a lot of people saying things like “spn isn’t a family if we’re willing to attack each other for dumb things” and “spn is full of ““”problematic””” people” and like, yeah, those are fair criticisms. (Everyone can be “”problematic””.) But I think we’re kind of the norm. Like, I’ve been poking around the Star Wars TFA fandom for a few weeks and there is literally nothing different in that fandom. Like, people are sending threats and hate over people who ship Rey and Kylo calling those shippers abusers and pedos and all kinds of shit (Kylo and Rey are both adults??? what????) and saying that no one can ship it because Rey and Kylo might be cousins and I’m like…… this is Star Wars…. Luke and Leia kissed. On screen. We were supposed to ship that until suddenly we weren’t. What????
But yeah, I do think the SPN fandom is pretty much the same as any other fandom. It’s not especially bad or toxic. It’s just another fandom. And of course, your enjoyment is dependent on who you follow, engage with, and what you do.
19. What is the one thing you hate most about your fandom?
Fights about “canon”. Like, obviously I hate sending hate and threats, that goes without saying, but the thing I think drives me nuts is the insistence some people have that their interpretations of “canon” are the only valid interpretations. Like, the lit nerd in me just wants to bust out a lecture on literary theory and interpretation. “Canon” is what we see on screen. What it means is 100% up to us, especially because spn is such a post-modern, meta show. I can believe that Dean loves musicals based on his love of chick-flicks and whatever else, and someone else can say that he only likes Fiddler based on something he said. We can both be right. That’s the cool thing about literary interpretation. Everyone is right and no one is right. End of story.
23. Unpopular character you love?

Yeah. I love a good bad guy. I’m gonna go out on a limb and say he’s the most interesting adversary since season 5 Lucifer. (Lbr, Abaddon was fun but there was nothing but a desire for power and destruction there. Metatron was annoying. Naomi wasn’t explored enough.) I know why people don’t like him, and that’s totally justified, but he’s my favorite non-TFW member. He’s dark but I do think there’s a bit of complexity there and I’d love to know his backstory.
Thanks!
