are you actually a human

Euuuuuuuuuuuurghhh

Do any of you remember last semester in medieval lit when I found out there was another SPN fan in class because she was wearing Dean's amulet? And I was like "SHOW!" and she was like "YES" and I was like "COOL" and she was like "THEY BETTER BRING CAS BACK OR I WILL BOYCOTT OMG WHEN WILL SAM JUST GO AWAAAAAY."

And I realized we

Haha..I always wish I could meet fans in real life, but with my luck it'd be just like this. Like all the people I avoid on LJ would be IN MY FACE.

[queenklu]

Ffs, I was looking around for a back button. HOW DO I 'X' OUT OF THIS CONVERSATION, jfc >.O

[samantha890]

I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO DIDN'T NOTICE ANYTHING DIFFERENT ABOUT MEG. Then I got online and everyone kept saying she got fat or whatever and I'm just like, "uh... what?"

I also always wish I could meet a fan in random, but after reading this? I think I'm better off.

[queenklu]

JESUS CHRIST IS THAT REALLY A THING PEOPLE ARE SAYING? Shit, I thought this was just one crazy.

I think--honestly, I think people in more highly populated areas have a better chance of not meeting a fan like this. My odds were super slim to begin with, it kind of makes sense karmic-ly that we wouldn't get along? or something. DON'T WRITE OFF ALL RANDOM FAN MEETINGS, IS WHAT I'M SAYING. I randomly met one of my best internet friends for the first time on a bus in Wales, all because she had a SPN button on her backpack. *noddd*

[samantha890]

I saw it all over the place. :/

That makes me feel much better about random fan meetings. I won't write 'em off. :)

Delurking to sympathize. There's this new girl in my friend group. I rock mythology? She rocks mythology. I like Inception? She likes Inception. I love literature? She loves literature. I crochet? She learns how to crochet. I won't even admit to her that I'm an SPN fan. And she does this... thing. Like, we're standing around before a Bible study starts and randomly she starts screaming in my face about how hot Jensen Ackles is and how she wants to DO HIM!!! She would ride him ALL NIGHT LONG!!! He's just so hoooooot (she draws out the 'o' so that it sounds as if she might be orgasming right in front of me).

And yeah, Dean is hot. But... there's a time and a place? Screaming in my face about how she wants to sex him is just not the way to get me to jump up and down and squee with her. A mutual friend, a kinda conservative girl, was standing right there looking freaked outAnd she babyspeaks at me all the time. "Wiw oo pwease put da spegetsi sauce away for [name redacted]?" *puppy-eyed pouty face* She doesn't do this to anyone else in

That is...no, wow, you are very right, time and a place, yo. Does she know about the internet? She can find other people who might appreciate her multiple vowels and capslock so she doesn't have to do it in your face, WOW.

Ngl, I would absolutely not do anything she asked me to do in babyspeak voice. Have you tried just staring her down until she speaks like an adult human? Like, express with your face wtf ru doin, and just keep it like that until she sees that you are unimpressed.

Or maybe if she thinks she has to act like that to get your attention, say, "You know you don't have to? Calm down, I understand that feel bro, let's use our indoor voices and sophisticosity."

...this has been a dear klu advice column. ...yup.

[venilia]

The first time she ever did the babyspeak thing I just outright told her that I don't like it. The spaghetti sauce incident had me staring her down. She upped the babyspeak. I told her that I would get it for her if she dropped the baby voice and asked like an adult. She finally just got the spaghetti sauce herself. So much for taking a stand.

She's not online, but she games. I have the feeling that maybe scream-y voice flails translates better over gaming speakers than face-to-face. I mean, I capslock online. If I met a fellow fan irl I would be flaily and redic. But... like, I would be flaily and redic with my other fen, not at them?

I am NEVER telling her about my love for SPN, or how Dean is one of my few die-hard crushes. I bet she would ship Destiel. I bet she would go on about how FREAKING HOT the Angel of the Lord is. (Lol, I'll stick to quietly wincesting.)

[queenklu]

LOL Okay, I suck at giving advice. Just, ugh, seriously, stick by your guns--she needs to understand that you don't like it. :/

And yeah, I totally get the distinction between with and at (though she obviously doesn't). Oh maaaan, that is always the danger of comparing notes with other spn fans--especially with people like the girl in my class. I was seriously wondering if we were even talking about the same show. *shakes head*

[ace_of_spades6]

WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT YOU'D FRIEND HER ON FACEBOOK. WHY KLU. HORRIBLE DECISION. BUT I WOULD BE DOING THE SAME, OH GOD WE ARE TOO NICE. I WOULD HATE THIS IF IT HAPPENED TO ME.

[queenklu]

Dude, relax. I can say I'll friend her and then never follow through because I will never see her again. And she will never find me because i doubt she knows my name, let alone how to spell it. :3

[ace_of_spades6]

LOLOL I was just kiddinggggg but yes do this.

[legalliquid]

I am the same way with not recognizing people who annoy me. If they change their hair or even find a new seat in the class, I completely forget that they bug me until I'm startled with the reminder later.

Ugh, this is why I'm wary of meeting mutual fans in a normal setting. When I was younger, I met these two fans of Harry Potter, specifically Harry/Draco. Which was awesome, until they started bringing up slash fanfic all of the time at our private ~Catholic~ high school. Especially during discussions in our Religion class. And I'm clearly all about the slash...but there's a time and a place and that was definitely not it lol.

[queenklu]

LOL To be honest, I would be hella tempted to talk about slash in religion class--but I can say that as someone who wouldn't be getting anything out of a religion class in the first place, and as someone who isn't worried about getting kicked out of a private high school.

...to be even honester I would probably just write slash in religion class. Quietly. To myself. In code so nooobody could know what I was writing. Muahahaha.

[legalliquid]

Lol, the amusement factor wore off after the first few months. I was more of the opinion that needlessly freaking out people who had no clue about fandom wasn't the best way to go. (My poor elderly nun teacher lol.) But I totally ~did~ write slash all of the time in that class during lectures. :)

[queenklu]

Oh my god, I thought--I thought you meant they were talking about it before or after, not DURING THE CLASS IN FRONT OF THE TEACHER hooooly shit. No. Nope.

But highfive to you for writing slashfic. That's the way we do. *highfive*
