2020 gets ever more surreal: SPN 15x18
If I had had to guess yesterday what would most amuse and distract me today, I would not have guessed Supernatural. I wasn't even in that fandom! (I mean I did read dozens of fics and watched some vids etc., but that barely counts, pretty sure that's just normal levels of fandom osmosis with a huge fandom like that.)
That Destiel scene - or, well, DD correctly pointed out that it's not canon Destiel, it's a confirmation that Cas has romantic feelings for Dean but not the other way around, but still - had the perfect timing. Even without the Putin probably-a-hoax that came out at the same time, which made for some very confusing tweets to wake up to. A day earlier would have been too stressful, a day later more relaxed, but yesterday night was the perfect time to just be really surreal. Fucking 2020, man. Cas confesses his love and immediately gets thrown into super-hell, if I understood correctly, is just the most SPN way of doing a gay love confession *facepalm*
And all the memes! Too lazy rn to pick out individual ones but there are quite a few collected in this ff_a thread. (I thought this comment about why Destiel/SPN specifically had this big reaction is probably fairly accurate.)

(To me, it's especially interesting since the creators / actors were some of the first people who were casual about fandom and shipping. They made a lot of current ways of interacting with a fandom base popular)
Anyway I just wanted to say that even though I'm not in fandom right now, I'm excited by the idea of this episode. (I haven't seen the episode yet, and blocked the spoilers once I realized there were spoilers to be blocked, so I'll find out how I feel about the actual thing later)
