sending love and hugs to everyone who is feeling as churned up tonight as i am. please approach yourselves, others, and misha with as much compassion as you can and remember we don’t know the full truth of the situation.
You made sure that the Devil’s trap was in perfect condition so that it wouldn’t fail in holding Eren, when you brought him in. The comms in your and Mikasa’s ears started buzzing with life as Levi said through them “Come i Winchester and Ackerman, do you copy over”
“We copy over” Mikasa said and looked your way
“We have caught Yeager, Hange just put him in the trunk,” Levi said through the comms.
“Great job bring him back so we can save him” you said
“Are you ready for us?” Levi asked
“Yes, we are ready here to do the ritual”
“We’ll be back in an hour with Yeager”
“Of course see you soon Captain Levi” you said and looked over to Mikasa who shared the same look as you as your comms shut off.
“So we’re going to save him” Mikasa said
“Yes, we are”
“What’s the price (Y/N)” Mikasa asked
“What price?” “Of the Book of The Damned”
“There is no price”
“There’s always a price to a spell like that”
“I just want to save Eren, it’s my fault that he took the mark from me”, I didn’t try to stop him enough.” You said
“Yes you did (Y/N), I never wanted anything like this to happen but (Y/N) he loves you too much to not doom himself to a life like that of a mark bearer”
“I am still going to use the book, whether or not there is a price, I have to save him”
“I know that I can’t stop you, and I know that we have to save Eren, So I’m going to help through all of this,” MIkasa said. You quickly gave her a hug
“Thank you Mikasa” you said and Mikasa held the scarf around her neck tightly in her grasp. You both heard the bunker door open. Hange and Levi came in carrying Eren between the two of them. You guided them to the dungeon where you put Eren into a devil’s trap so that he could not escape or hurt one or more of you. Eren stirred slightly while Levi is strapping him down onto the chair.
“Hello Captain” Eren said with a smirk as he woke up from being knocked out “Better tie those straps tight, don’t want me escaping”
“Shut up Yeager” Levi said and gave one last tug to Erens bonds and then walked away from the devils trap.
You stepped up to Eren with the syringe of your blood in hand to give him. The smell of Sulphur filled your senses as you convinced yourself that this isn’t the same Eren whom you had spent nights upon nights with, wrapped in the warmth of his arms and coated in the smell of the cologne he uses. “So you’re trying to save me, well good luck with that because you can’t save everyone” “No I can’t , But I can try my damn best to at least save you Eren” you replied.
“Why because you need me?” Eren said
“No Eren, Mikasa needs you, Armin and I both need you and someone else needs you” you said and injected the first dose of your blood into his body.
oh wow, this made me cry. He deserved so much better <3 Thank you for making this, it’s beautiful
You are very welcome and thank you for watching. I literally cried the entire time I was making this. I thought I’d never finish it, it was really painful to put it together </3 :’(
It’s been a while since I posted anything… I’ve obviously watched the Supernatural finale and I ain’t doing so hot rn. My heart is utterly broken. This video I made pretty much sums up how I feel about Dean’s ending… And why I feel he deserved to find happiness in life and not in death. If you are out there and you’re struggling, please remember that you CAN find happiness, you CAN find peace in this life and you shouldn’t need to wait for it all to end. You are a survivor and you can keep going no matter what life pits you against. Dean deserved so much better. I am grateful to have followed the journey of such a beautiful character and I wish he’d escaped this fate.
Goodbye, Dean. I will love and remember you forever.
If I had a nickle for every time I had a ship that was in hindsight canon for a good 12 years but never got complete confirmation because for one part it would have been a “cultural” no-go for half of the target audience and for another part the ship will absolutely not mention The Thing unless they are likely to die within minutes (that way we do get an one-sided verbal declaration); regardless, everybody they meet just assumes they belong together, including some of the writers; … then I would have two nickles. Which isn’t much, but weird that it happened twice.
It’s taken me a few days but I’ve worked out why the situation surrounding Supernatural - a show/fandom I have had almost no involvement with up until now - and TPTB’s treatment towards Jensen Ackles and Misha Collins has got me as irked as it has.
It reminds me far too much of how TPTB on Stargate: Atlantis treated Joe Flanigan.
(If there are any gaps in information or any lapses in understanding on this, my Gater dudes, I am happy to be corrected, amended or added to.)
For the uninitiated, Stargate: Atlantis was a sister show to Stargate: SG-1 that ran on the Sci-Fi Channel from 2004 - 2009. Joe Flanigan was the lead male actor on the programme, playing Major/Lt. Col. John Sheppard for all 5 seasons.
The first few seasons of the show ran smoothly. Flanigan played his lead part as the highly skilled, if emotionally distant, Air Force pilot and soldier well and everyone was getting along nicely. However, when season 3 ended and season 4 began, friction began to arise with a choice TPTB had made with regards to the death of another of the popular leads on the show - killing off Doctor Elizabeth Weir played by Torri Higginson. From what I understand, Flanigan had fought for Weir/Higginson to stay on the show: he knew and understood that she was popular and by getting rid of her, they’d be shooting themselves in the foot. They ignored him and wrote her out, bringing her back for a couple of cameos as recompense, I suspect, for outraged fans who did not understand their decision to get rid of her in the first place.
From then on (from what I can gather from interviews I’ve seen) Flanigan became more aware of decisions being made with regard to plots and character development and more vocal when he felt like they were going the wrong way with it. As such, the writers and show-runners became less and less receptive to his feedback, apparently cutting him out of decisions and purposefully leaving him out of conversations about upcoming story arcs. As a response to this, in the 4th and 5th seasons of the show, Flanigan’s character appeared to be shunned to one side, almost in retribution for having an opinion that did not align with that of the show-runners.
The supposed lead of the whole programme seemed to be demoted to a secondary role. In fact, the only episodes where Flanigan/Sheppard got to be in the fore were episodes he had written.
This ongoing friction came to a head during season 5. During the filming of the episode Whispers - an episode featuring an all-female exploration team that come across alien hybrids that hunt people down by hearing alone- Flanigan came to TPTB, angry. As a character, Sheppard had always been portrayed as being incredibly supportive and loyal to his female co-workers and was savvy to what was going on under his command. Flanigan voiced concerns that the casual sexism and ignorance Sheppard was displaying in this episode was out of character and it didn’t sit well with him. He was effectively told to shut up and deal with it, it didn’t matter.
The show was over at the end of season 5. If I remember rightly, none of the actors knew this until they were about to head to a convention after the season had finished airing and were told that, for all the plans for a 6th season, it wasn’t going to happen.
Flanigan fought to buy the rights to the show. While the writers and runners had dropped Atlantis in favour of another spin off to the franchise (that ultimately ended up getting cancelled after 2.5 seasons anyway), Flanigan believed in it and wanted to save it. He was denied rights to it for no other discernable reason other than childish spite: he had disagreed with them and been vocal in his disapproval, so he didn’t get to have it.
This was back in 2009-2010. How is it that TEN YEARS LATER, studios and writers and show-runners are still acting as though the opinion of actors whose job is to inhabit the characters they play for years have no worth? That their thoughts and sense of the person they have been for 5, 10, 15 years has no weight? Why are they still being treated like absolute shit for speaking up and speaking out about a show and a character they love and cherish and cast aside for daring to do so? Why are they still being treated as disposable?
So Supernatural fans, I empathise with you. I get it. I hear you and I see you. I understand your anger at the disrespect towards Misha and Jensen. Apparently, the arrogance of writers in the sci-fi/action/fantasy genre is still alive and well and it needs to stop.
