Heh. I do have some great RL friends that I watch SPN with each week- they're lovely and they know that I do things like go to Wincon and squee on the internet each week, but they remain quite happily outside of fandom. WE DO NOT SPEAK OF WINCEST. (They were actually out of the room when Sam and Dean discussed that, so, SAFE FROM EMBARRASSING QUESTIONS!) I think I've confessed some tinhattish leanings (HELLO, WHEN COSTARS COHABITATE, THIS NEWS MUST BE SHARED), but they have no idea how deeply I'm embedded in it all. Which is fine! They stay clear of the wackiness, but I still get to have 1) company while I watch and 2) the AMAZINGNESS of fandom anyway. Just walking down the street, I can think to myself about the INSANE AUs this fandom produces, and how just the THOUGHT of like, spacehooker!Jared or lord, ALL of the times this fandom has abused, maimed, and emotionally wrangled poor Jensen Ackles- it all brings SUCH GLEE! And 99% of the world will NEVER SHARE THAT! And it's sad! BUT WE GET IT ANYWAY!
*dances*
Fandom meetups are MADNESS. I love it, but I'm always sure we're on the verge of being arrested for speaking of such things in public. ;) But then fandom hands me things like Wincon- there was a karaoke party the first night, and of course, someone sang 'Carry on My Wayward Son' and in the middle of the song, the machine fizzled out... so EVERY DAMN PERSON IN THE ROOM started singing to finish the song. Like... WHAT? Or when we rewatched 'Monster Movie' that afternoon and when I sighed loudly over Sam's nose... OTHER PEOPLE JOINED IN. JFLSJFKSDJFKLJFKLSAD
I LOVE IT. I'm so damn lucky to have found something I love so much that I can share with SO MANY awesome people. The squee never need be contained!
I can't even imagine beginning to explain Wincest, but the J2 cohabitation - that seems much more 'hey, fun fact' rather than 'I obsess over these men & their relationship to a ridiculous degree'. I adore that I am reminded of fandom everyday through the most innocuous things - anything can have a dirty connotation once you introduce it to fandom! Now, when I see caramels, I think of either Jensen stuffing his mouth numb or the Fantales at AHBL.
Ahaha, yes! I remember wondering what the people at the tables around us were thinking as we discussed the wonders of the carbonated Padacock (...something like that?). I'm not sure I could ever handle a con, but being surrounded by fellow fandomers who get it would be so cool. I loved watching F13 and hearing other people freak out over the absolute perfection of Jared's ass!
