As Yet Untitled Work

I'm Talen! I make videos and articles and games and graphic designs and guides and messes and encouragement. Chances are you can find anything I do on my blog. I like it when you comment on my things, so please do!


a modestly popular poll on tumblr has put Destiel, the ship of two nondescripts from the fandom slush generator Supernatural, in a 'queer ship' poll against Miorine and Suletta from Gundam Witch Actually Lesbians. Destiel is losing this week long poll at the moment, and you know, good, because I have a dog in this fight that involves deeply abiding hatred of the entire Fanagement produsage pipeline.

It is very, very funny watching Destiel people on tumblr coping about the idea of being a modestly less popular ship, but really funny is the way that they speak in these preposterous shibboleths, like, Can you believe the show missed the opportunity to make this moment gayer? and the answer is yeah. Yeah I can believe the show that was always treating you like a rube didn't do the thing you actually wanted.

"The writers are definitely in on the ship, they totally referenced it there"
Yes, like someone might be in on a joke rather than a conspiracy. They have literally a decade of getting utterly bamboozled by the mildest winks from the actors. Genuinely embarrassing to see as someone who likes the first third or so of that show.
