spn post of which I come clean about my level of batshit

[retro_eidas]

Over the long summer months, I've come to terms with the fact I'm a lost cause when it comes to SPN. Though I'm not one of those fans that seem to be unable to make it through the day without some attempt aiming for Fandom Wank, I'm not particularly proud of my status either. I'm still a fangirl and it's been tough actually having to accept this tragic fact about myself, but accept it I reluctantly have. Damn you, stupid sexy SPN.

Since it seems to be confession-time, I also feel masochistically compelled to admit my absolute, unequivocal batshit for Dean/Castiel. Which does tragically assure my "fangirl" status, being flaily arms giddy for an SPN slash pairing (though it's not in the lunar crazed arena of wincest, it's etching it's own mark in SPN batshippery), but then I watch this fanvid...

... and any hope of denial or modicum of fight comfortably numbs right out of me (you can listen to it without sound and it's still effecting. Suffice to say, absrip has a gift for editing). So yes, basically taking the soma holiday approach to dealing with this foreign, rabid fangirl affliction (so I guess, not dealing with it at all actually), but I suppose this post is a step in the right direction. Or I'm just embarrassing myself being rambly, fangirly and generally incoherent.

Post brought to you by the season 5 premiere tonight and I've all but lost my ability to concentrate on anything the past few hours. *facepalms*

It's funny - I used to really be into SPN fandom, made icons and posts about it, went to a convention and met Jared and Jensen...but now, even though I do really enjoy the show and never miss it (tonight I will be recording it, because the Steelers are playing in the season opener) and have all the seasons on DVD - I don't care about the fandom at all. I have lost all interest in the fandom, but not the show, lol. I wish I was still interested, because I can totally see Dean/Castiel. I think there's something wrong with me, not you! :D

I'm doing pretty good at staying away from the wanky parts of fandom (unless I'm purposefully out for some lols), but this fandom? Yeah. If I were being kind I'd classify it "functionally crazy", but the way meltdowns can happen at the drop of a hat o hai dean_sam. It can get wearying.

Is that awful Vampire Diaries thing starting tonight too?

I've never been involved much in SPN fandom, but I think the Wincest is funny. Never took it that seriously though. Hmm.

Ugh. It's on right now and it's every bit as awful, Twihard-pandering the trailers made it look like.

Wincest is funny (well, all it's myriad of wank is funny), if you don't take too close a look or linger too long in it's corner of fandom. Then it gets a tad scary.
