I Feel Sick. If Something Like This Happened In Norway, The Public Outcry Would Be So Loud Your Eardrums

…Sharif loved gambling, so they’d invariably lose all their money at the casino. “We once did about nine months’ wages in one night”, said O’toole. “And then got up to the usual things young men get up to”. Asked by a journalist if that entailed getting up to no good O’toole gave a grin a replied “Oh, darling, do you consider it to be no good? We consider it very good indeed”

I’ve seen more convincing acting in Ed Wood movies. 

I've seen cartoon villains less corny than Misha's Lucifer

Bugs Bunny is making fun of him.

Very well written. As a fellow Northern European, I recognize these sentiments all too well. We have a conservative government right now, but by US (Republican) standards they'd be regarded as moderate, even centrist. There's a part of me that wants to laugh at Trump, because he's like a cartoon villain, but the laughter gets stuck in my throat at the thought of him actually coming to power, and what it means in a wider context – if he's able to amass this support, what does that imply about USA as a nation? And what will the consequences be? Comedian David Mitchell described him well: "He’s built a campaign from gaffes alone. It’s like he’s found a way to make an incredibly strong suit of armour entirely out of chinks."

Those of us who can’t vote in the US presidential elections, but who are nevertheless indirectly but significantly affected by it, like to laugh at Trump. We like to point across the Atlantic, and shake our heads in incredulity that such an odious man, promoting such regressive, insular, arbitrary, hateful politics, could possibly be in the running. After all, there is nothing in the mainstream politics of north western Europe that is so far to the right as the current Republican Party; and if there was, we would write them off as fascists and consign them to whatever ugly, unpleasant, occasionally problematic hole they currently inhabit. We most certainly have anything like Trump. These two things - the horror show that is the GOP, and it’s caped, befanged arch villain, in what we consider a peer Enlightenment nation - inform our amusement and ridicule.

But it’s really not funny. There’s a reason why, in this part of the world, Trump’s politics would be considered the borderlands of fascism. It’s not just the breathtaking xenophobia; it’s all the rest, the savage economic politics, the poor hate, the homophobia, the weird obsession with guns and religion (which we just cannot comprehend), the warmongering, the sexism, the willingness to abandon the poor and the sick to poverty and death. And these are not simply cursory instincts, but deep, abiding, utter and as severe as it is possible to be. Trump is the figurehead of this movement, a movement that has significant numbers right across the US. This is not a tiny, unimportant fringe movement. This is a political movement that has a serious chance of winning the White House.

That’s not funny. That’s not something we should roll our eyes at. It’s terrifying, because it indicates that the problem lays not with Trump, but with some intrinsic quality of American culture. The most powerful nation in the world, the leader of the free world, a principal defender of Enlightenment values, is seriously considering handing the levers of power to a political movement that at its best an uncaring, truth hating, autocratic plutocracy and at worst a savage, illiberal theocracy.

None of us should be indifferent to that. We certainly shouldn’t be laughing.

To the OP: you are being an asshole if you think that Jensen’s opinions about an imaginary ship disqualifies him from expressing support for the victims of a terrorist attack. Do you guys live in the real world? I have to go past a massacre site (ten minutes from where I grew up) whenever I visit my parents.

I am grateful for the support from the Supernatural cast, but I can’t help but find Jensen’s support ironic. The man who refuses to accept his bisexual character is amazingly accepting of the LGBT fans and people that were hurt in Orlando.

Maybe I’m being an asshole, I don’t know. I only know that if things don’t get better with queerbaiting on Supernatural… I will no longer be watching the show.

My heart goes out to you, Orlando. Please stay safe.

They kinda explored that angle (Watson being hurt by Holmes’ deception) in the stage play with Jeremy and Edward, did they not? I wish there was video footage of that play somewhere. 

The relationship between Holmes and Watson in the BBC adaptation feels downright antagonistic to me, which is one of the (many) reasons I’ve stopped watching that show.

“…my most treasured possession”

Fan fiction SALES? Okay, then.

j2 confirmed

While I loved the Genesis mention, I was aware of the not-so-subtle double reference. He's pandering to every corner of fandom. His "Where's the bro-hug"-tweet made me see red, it was such an obvious bait.

I heard that robbie thom. actually knows his way pretty well around the destihell fandom, i think he chose those names BECAUSE of their double meaning to the shippers. This makes me so mad bc he's enabling them and even encouraging their obnoxious behavior. I think he's teasing them and it's really fucking annoying bc WE Have to deal with the aftermath, not him. I'm so mad right now and I can't even find it in me to pissed at the shippers. I am so upset about this. Sorry.

Never apologize darling for ranting. But the more I think about it and the more I see posts on the subject, the more I wonder just what was thompson up to. Was it just about Genesis, OR was it a nod to the minions. 

But you are right, THEY think it is and until they get tired of their own bullshit, WE are going to listen to their cries of canon bullshit. 

“Wisdom hairs”. I’m gonna use that. I started greying in my teens. 

Jensen teasing Jared about his gray wisdom hairs. (X)

Copedendent boys are codependent. Oh, and #seananddean, LOL

DID Y'ALL SEE THE NEW PICS? THEY ARE TOGETHER! UYFDF FFFDFF FHH Sorry for the freak out, but till now, I was holding out till confirmed. Id like to see the het stans explain this! :) J2 are their own fanfic!

Yes, EVERYONE! LET THE FREAK OUT BEGIN! I’m sure the het fans will find a way to wave this away by assuring everyone that the wives are really there and just don’t want to be seen or whatever, but that’s okay. We know what’s up. ;) –Admin N

Of all the dumb rivalries fought in the SPN fandom, “which wife do you prefer” has to be the dumbest. It’s even dumber than ship wars. I’ve been in several fandoms, and I’ve never ever seen fans give so much time to random bit players (which is what Gen and Dan are, despite the fact they’ve starred in the show, hurray for nepotism). It’s embarrassing. “Oh no, X-Files went downhill after S6, let’s send the actors’ respective others death threats”...that public outcry never happened. These ladies are nobodies. They’ve influenced nothing. Why does this fandom strive to give these already inflated egos an even bigger platform to demonstrate how pathetically out of touch with reality they are? The lack of perspective is puzzling. “OH, MY QUEEN! YOU’RE MARRIED TO MY FAVORITE C-LISTER!”

hahaha ...Danneel and Gen both post ab8 SPN ending around same time. And, the differences between both the post are so glaring. While one fakes an excuse of being dejected and spew some bs tagging only her husband. Other has a courtesy to thank the crew for the opportunity. i had more respect for D when i didnt knw her or whn she wasnt on social media that way i was able to overlook her attitude

Yeah she does this. She has a long habit of talking about the show like Jensen is the only one there. It just comes off very disrespectful and incredibly selfish. Same thing happened for the 300th party:

  I really don’t know why it’s so hard to acknowledge at least one other person than your own husband especially when you claim to be close to others on the cast. It’s very strange and I don’t like it one bit.
