Hey Cas-fans,

can we please stop the infighting?

I know things have been tough for us at times and I, too, am often frustrated with the show, but let’s not take it out on other cas-fans or even people who love the brothers or other stuff about spn and don’t mind cas.

We get enough hate from the outside, we shouldn’t be attacking each other, even when we disagree on our reading of castiel as a character.

Fandom lives on discussing different opinions and we’re killing it if we immediately take personal offence when people disagree with us.

I love this fandom and I love its meta-writers. I love them even when - no, especially when I disagree with them because then they motivate me to think more deeply about my own interpretations of the show and maybe even to actually write them down.

So here’s to this fandom’s meta-writers and everyone who engages in discussions about interpretations and headcanons because those people keep this fandom going! Cheers everyone!

I am so upset today because I feel like something I wanted to talk about has lead to this huge rift in the fandom. I feel like I have lost people I thought of as a friend.  I was upset that people felt ideas they agree with were getting suppressed.  Then I was upset when people started receiving hate so I made a rant about that maybe we should try handling this differently.  Now I see this craziness last night where someone thought no one was considering Castiel’s death as an option for him or something. I still don’t completely understand the point of that post. And I felt like my worries about people feeling suppressed were used as a weapon today to attack people. I am so sorry. I don’t understand how it got to this point. I am so upset by this that I feel like maybe I should leave tumblr because somehow I am making a toxic environment even more toxic. I am so sorry an I want to personally apologize to @tinkdw, and @elizabethrobertajones, especially tink because I feel you were called out directly. This is probably way too little too late.

Sorry, Gerianne

Hun please do not feel so bad that you have to leave tumblr!! I totally understand and as I said I also apologise for what was perceived as an attack which I didn't mean at all, but that obviously came across as such so therefore of course I apologise! 

Everyone has the right to interpret things differently and everyone has the right to their own opinions, we were just offended by the OP putting words in our mouth that were not ours and I know Lizzie is the same in that we would not want anyone to feel so bad about this that they leave! No-one should receive hate for this. Misunderstandings happen and feelings run high, especially as I said for those who identify more with the characters than say I do. I am (relatively) objective I guess and I have to be so strong in my place of work, yelling at people of a technically higher rank than me to do the right thing so I am a very strong personality, so my posts can come across as quite opinionated and I do absolutely apologise if it came across that I was trying to convince anyone of anything when I just meant to alleviate worry (because I get Cas/Destiel worry and a request for reassurance so much in my inbox I projected this where it wasn't worry that wanted reassurance, just you guys stating your POV). 

I love chatting to you, we have so much in common because we LOVE Cas, we LOVE TFW, we LOVE the show :)

Please continue to be a lovely human being and let’s draw a line under it :)
