You aren’t being a baby or overdramatic at all. Emotions and feelings are real and they sometimes hurt, no matter what caused the hurt – fiction or reality, the emotion is still the same. You have a right to feel what you need to feel. *hugs* I’m sorry you’re hurting though, regardless, and I do hope you feel better soon.

Thank you, Dean. 

I’ll be honest, it kinda feels like the cherry on top of the shit sundae. I’ll be better with time, it’s just… not what I was expecting at all. I’ve had a rough… three years or so? I don’t even remember at this point. It’s a long ass story and fiction (particularly spn) has been something I could consistently look forward to. 

It feels like losing a friend. Losing a lot of friends, really. I knew at least one of the characters was doomed and I had a feeling another would bite it too, but like… all of them? All of the recurring cast (save for Jody, Donna, and the girls) bites it or gets trapped? That’s what we get? It feels so bad, especially considering the way the season began. 

@wanderingcas and I were talking and she thinks the reason Cas’s death, in particular, is so hard to swallow is because we’ve spent so much time in his head. I’ve written probably 50k through his eyes in the past year. I know him. He’s a part of me in some ways, because all writers put parts of their soul into their writing and I definitely put myself into him. 

It sucks, you know? 

I’ll just let myself feel it I suppose. I need to work on actually letting myself process anger and pain so I guess this is as good an opportunity as any. 

@justanothersaltandburn replied to your post “Salty Fandom – 5, 6, 20?”

Yes yes yes! I didn’t expect to ship Saileen as hard as I do – I always thought nothing could beat Sam/Jess in terms of sweetness but Saileen is just damn… Awesome. STILL sour over that ending.

Same. Like, Sam and Eileen are just so sweet. Sam/Jess is still good, but having Sam and Eileen together whether in an au or canon verse, kicking ass and being adorable just kills me. 

I reject that whole death thing. As far as I’m concerned it didn’t happen. (obvs it did but screw canon.) They can pry Saileen from my cold, dead hands. 

Salty Fandom – 5, 6, 20?

5. Has fandom ever ruined a pairing for you?
Not a pairing, no. I tend to ignore most people who run spread their crap but I have to admit there certain trends in certain ships that drive me insane. Like, the way Balthazar and Meg and Jo are treated in some Destiel fics drives me nuts. I tend to go the opposite way, however, and ship those pairings harder when I see Meg or Balth or Jo treated as the asshole ex. 
6. Has fandom ever made you enjoy a pairing you previously hated?
I haven’t ever *hated* a ship but fandom has definitely made me fonder of Wincest. I think a lot of that has to do with becoming friends with people who ship it getting away from the small minority of assholes who are vicious about their ship and their interpretation of canon events. Early run-ins with those kinds of jerks doesn’t do good things for anyone, but I’m glad I made friends with nicer people. 
20. What is the purest ship in the fandom?
“Pure” is a big ol’ loaded term for me. Like, nothing in this fandom is “pure”. This is a show about professional murderers who just happen to be on the right side of the equation 92% of the time.  
All that aside, though, Saileen is a very good and sweet ship imo. Sam and Eileen are both badasses but they can be super sweet together and I enjoy that. 

Thanks! 

Salty Asks!
