As a multi-shipper in the SPN fandom:
Be kind to each other. Stop cross-posting hate in the tags. Stop sending horrid asks to other shippers. Stop harassing and attacking the actors. I’ve literally never seen a more toxic fandom space than the current war between Destiel and Wincest.
We both won. Destiel and Wincest both got an “I love you” scene either way you look at it. Neither of us got the dream ending, but we both got some beautiful moments and that is what we should take from the finale. Not all this hate and spitefulness.
Cultivate your own spaces. Embrace your own tags and ships and communities. If you truly can’t stand seeing content from another ship, block the tags. Filter post content. Block bloggers. Its so easy, guys. Rioting and harassing and sending hate isn’t going to change what we were given, nor is it going to make your community better.
There’s a handful of fanatics on both sides doing their damndest to ruin it for everyone, and that is not the legacy we should be leaving nor how we should be embracing the end of a 15 year journey that left its mark on all of us. The actors shouldn’t be facing hate and truly horrid comments when saying goodbye to the past 15 years of their lives.
Be kind to each other, I beg of you. Every ship got something beautiful to cherish, and that’s all that shoulder matter.
Except Sastiel shippers. They got nothing. Please spare a thought for your local Sastiel shipper, they’re starving.
Castiel popped downstairs regularly to give Sam updates on how Dean was going and get snuggles.
Of course, due to the "time moves differently in heaven" thing the updates were along the lines of...
"Hello Sam. I thought you would like to know that he has now progressed another five inches along the road. How was your weekend at the water park?"
"Dean is currently experiencing a transient itch to his left ear lobe. It has so far lasted two weeks of time as you experience it. What are your thoughts on the cultivation of unusual colour mutations in aviculture?"
"I apologise for my absence this last month. Dean thought of a hilarious joke about glow worms and had to tell me in full. Well, he assures me it was hilarious. You know how it is, with Dean."
"I believe there is a very interesting bug about to collide with the Impala's windscreen. I don't think I like the colour of your cardigan, Sam."
