There’s No Way This Bunck Of Secod-rate Performers Willl Outdo The Norwegian Parodies (executed By

Same. Absolutely gutted. Horrible, hollow feeling. I'll just take an extended break from tennis after this.

Could not believe what happened. I will need a lot of time to recover from this.

God knows I didn’t always agree with you, Gail, but I certainly didn’t want this :(

Rest In Peace Gail. I hope your kids and grandkids will find comfort in this hard time. 1945-2015

Jeremy January, Blue Monday* edition: Jeremy spreading awareness about Manic Depression/Bipolar Disorder. In this recording he describes the illness to encourage listeners who may be suffering to seek help. He is speaking for the Manic Depression Fellowship, now called Bipolar UK. Another resource is The Mighty: https://themighty.com/bipolar-disorder/. (I linked only to their Bipolar Disorder page, but The Mighty includes stories and information on a number of mental illnesses and other topics.)

If you are suffering, please, listen to Jeremy and talk to someone about your suffering. If you consider yourself well, please be available to listen as much as your personal capacity allows…be like Edward Hardwicke supporting his friend Jeremy by picking him up from the institution and taking him out for a meal and then home for tea. The world needs more friends like Jeremy and Edward!

*The term “Blue Monday” only recently came across my radar; it is a Monday in January (which one seems to vary by source) and is said to be the most depressing day of the year for Northern Hemisphere dwellers.

I’m moments from being thrown out of my home (because I can’t pay the rent due to illness) and I want to wrap myself in Granada Holmes and its fandom to ease the pain.

Oh man, you’re right. “Figures 21,22,23 - Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson make a rather macabre discovery in the church vault at Shoscombe Old Place” (I was there a month ago).

I Have Beheld the Sherlock Holmes Museum.

I knew it would be cheesy. I was hoping it would be the right kind of cheesy. My hopes were fulfilled beyond my wildest dreams.

If you are planning to visit this place one day, and don’t want spoilers, let me just offer you the following advice: Go early. At noon, when we were finally admitted after waiting for at least half an hour in the broiling sun, the queue was already down the block. Since the museum itself takes about half an hour (we did it in 20 minutes due to time pressure…it’s a long story), I don’t recommend waiting in line for it any longer than that. It’s a tall, narrow, old-fashioned townhouse, so they don’t let in more than about 15 people at a time.

All right. Let me tell you about this ‘museum.’

I hate what this campaign is doing to fandom. And I’m one of the people who have expressed critical opinions on Jensen’s FB and basically been told to grow a sense of humour.  The GOOD thing is that a lot of people ARE critical and are (finally) speaking out, consequences be damned. I wish I understood Jensen’s motivations for taking part in this. 

Just want to say how much I love you all before I leave. I couldn’t take it anymore and posted my opinion of this creepy, stalkery yana campaign on twitter. Even my best friend turned on me. So, I’m out.

I’ll keep my hat polished, but I won’t be part of the #SPNFamily anymore. I don’t need an adopted family that hurts me more than my RL family does.

Love you, love the Js, love Supernatural. I just don’t have the strength to fight anymore.

We will be so sorry not to have you here but I can’t even blame you at this point. There is nothing funny about stalking. It’s horrifying. I saw someone suggest that someone should tell Misha and Jensen politely that this is triggering and a bad idea, but every time someone tries to do just that, they get attacked. I just went on FB and saw one lady very politely suggest this very thing and she got called a bibro, a hater, and a bitch with a stick up her ass. This is of course coming from fans who are pretending to be so supportive of mental health issues. The truth is that they do not give a rat’s ass about mental health or this charity. They only care about it from a shipping perspective and it’s gross. 

Please come and talk to us any time you want to either on here or by direct messaging. We love you and support you, okay? Don’t forget that. <3 –Admin N

+1 to everything you said. 

Seriously, if your first instinct upon meeting a famous person (whether it be musician, actor, athlete, whatever) that you like (or dislike, for that matter) is “what can I do to make this person uncomfortable” you need to step back and reevaluate your priorities. Pulling a prank like that would not be “hilarious”, but inappropriate and disrespectful. 

I reported the company too, for encouraging harrassment. Hopefully they’re just trying to get some free publicity and nothing will come of this, because it could turn out incredibly ugly and embarrassing for everyone involved. 

I was thinking of this prank some shippers intend to pull on Jensen by bringing him some lube for the San Diego comic con. That's a funny idea, don't you think so? I ship J2 and nothing else, but still it would be hilarious. He's such a prude and would bring him out of his shell more.

No, I don’t think it’s a funny idea.  Not at all.  

This isn’t about shipping at all, this is about making actors uncomfortable and I will never support that, never.

Do you know the definition of the word prude?  Here it is for you:

Does that sound like Jensen to you?  The guy who has had plenty of sexual scenes on Supernatural?  

First of all, Jensen is not a prude.  Jensen is more reserved, yes, but not a prude.  Second of all, Jensen doesn’t need to be out of his shell anymore.  He can come out of his shell as much or as little as he wants.  He’s perfect just as he is.  If he wants to come out of his shell more, he will and he will do so on his own terms.  But he doesn’t have to, not by any means.  

This whole prank is bizarre.  When I first read it I thought it was some sick joke just on the internet, but when I saw that some people were actually planning on doing it I felt sick.  

Jensen has done so much for this fandom and yet the Destiel shippers can never seem to respect him.  That’s right, the Destiel shippers.  I don’t like to ship hate - actually, I don’t ship hate and I’m all about letting people ship what they want to ship.  But in cases like this shippers take it way too far and it is almost always the Destiel shippers in the Supernatural fandom that take things too far.  Jensen has repeatedly expressed his dislike and discomfort of being asked shipping questions and even stated that he was thankful Dean and Cas had less scenes together in season 9 because it cut down on the shippers being insane and analyzing every little thing that happened.  

If I found out any J2 or Wincest shippers were doing this I would report, block, and completely disassociate myself from those particular people. 

But ignoring the shipping aspects of this prank, the fact that human beings think that it is okay to do this to another human being is disgusting.  I mean really, who first had the brilliant (please note the sarcasm) idea to associate lube with ships, especially ships nominated for the fucking TeenChoice awards?  TEEN CHOICE.  Like yes, I’m sure all the 13 year olds that voted even know what lube is.  It’s utterly bizarre and annoying as hell.  

Respecting actors is something all people should do.  Respecting actors who do as much as Jensen does for all of us should be a requirement.  This man has been working on this show for over a decade.  He has dedicated his life to it.  He has turned down big movie rolls and other rolls for this fandom.  He has attended conventions and put up with repeated questions and millions of pictures for fans.  He takes time away from his daughter for this fandom.  He puts everything he has into his acting for this fandom.  He has shed blood, sweat, and tears for this fandom and yet certain people still can’t find the decency to give him respect.  It’s baffling really.  

If people actually go through with this prank, I honestly don’t know what I will do, what Jensen will do, what Jared will do, or what SPN will do.  I have already reported the lube company on Twitter that is encouraging this.  That’s right, they are reported and blocked.  Yes, I am one measly person but hopefully others are doing it as well and it will at least mean something.  

Respect our actors, respect their wishes, respect their privacy, and consider others before you even think of doing something so stupid.  

today’s hottake: u can always tell if a version of sherlock holmes is decent by how Irene Adler is written. Irene Adler’s purpose in the original Canon was to outsmart Holmes and force him to self reflect on his hubris and misogyny NOT to be a love interest. If an adaptation of Holmes shows Irene Adler as exclusively a love interest, or excludes her entirely, 9 times out of 10 its a sign that the writers are more interested in Holmes as an infallible figure of masculine intelligence than as a, like, human being or well rounded character. this is why Irene Adler is one of, if not the, most important characters in the whole sherlock holmes mythology and quite a revolutionary character given the context in which she was written but most adaptations completely disregard and belittle her because they’re misogynistic, homophobic, stupid, or a perfectly uninspiring combination of all three.

Do you suppose this is why they deleted it?
