apocalypsosOkay, a quick refresher for my attitude about fandom this season in ten parts:
1. I love Supernatural SO GODDAMN MUCH.
2. Supernatural is a flawed fucked-up show with lousy issues when it comes to women and non-white people, and the writers seriously need a course in Gender and Race.
3. Fandom and I will have a serious meta discussion about where the show made very winceworthy choices in regards to women and non-white folks and why Kripke and company need a smack upside the head ...
4. ... on Friday.
5. ... and possibly not on my LJ, because I'd really like to avoid wank over here. Intelligent conversations, yes. Making FW ... yeah, I'll pass.
6. On Thursday night, I reserve the right to float on a cloudy haze of candy rainbows and unicorn farts following the show (and not just because Project Runway airs right after it).
7. When it comes to Supernatural, I will be a hopeless giddy superficial ditz on Thursdays and a sharp scholarly social intellectual on Fridays.
8. Thursday and Friday are two entirely different days.
9. I promise NEVER to swing over to your serious meta episode discussion when I'm in Thursday mode or piss in your Cheerios with my thesis on how [Spoiler], [Spoiler], and [Spoiler] fit into the show's complex and oftentimes disconcerting racism and sexism issues when your post consists entirely of pictures of Jared's treasure trail peeking out from under his shirt.
10. This is my dance space, that is your dance space. NOW, CHA CHA.
Those are my personal commandments. Next, we're having pie. :D
EDIT: I just wanted to add that as far as I've seen, we've got a fantastic fandom. Yes, I know -- CRAZYPANTS EVERYWHERE. However, for all that there are some people making it out to be the Squares vs. the Drapes when it comes to the seriousness or lack thereof of discussion posts, there's not a single fan on my friends list who hasn't come up on both sides of the issue. Everybody who posts a flappyhands reaction post can hold an intelligent conversation if they'd like, and those who hold thoughtful discussions on the issues have no problem with throwing an old-fashioned squeefest if need be.
In summation ... *hearts*

STOP TALKING CRAZY.

But for everything else you said, I nod vigorously.
(I'm sorry. I'm still catching up on LJ. I suck.)
