It's fall. I have chicken cooking in spiced cider in a crockpot. Jensen's been trending on twitter all day.
Feels nostalgic. It's nice to have a day where things feel steady and familiar

By all rights I should have been; I actually really enjoyed the first season, and into the second... where I just stopped watching at the second to last episode. My college roommate and her friends were VERY into it, and I think I maybe got a bit of hype aversion to it at the time. Later on, I saw a fair number of mid-series episodes just by catching it on TV periodically, but by that point my friends who were in the fandom had all been talking about how frustrating and less-good it seemed to get, so I never got attached, haha.

The writer's strike derailed the actual intended plot, and wow they made weird plotline decisions over the years. I do still enjoy that early season vibe... even if Overly Sarcastic Productions used it as their main example for their recently episode on fridging.

I don't think that anyone could be a part of fandom-in-general without having at least SOME cross-pollination with Supernatural. I've never gone out of my way to *avoid* the fandom or anything, but holy crap did I wind up knowing an awful lot about what was happening in it, despite never seeking that information out, haha.
So it is a bit comforting to see the same old standbys, haha.
It definitely leaned into some not-my-fave tropes, but it was enjoyable to watch. I LIKE monster of the week shows, so the early seasons appealed to me a lot more than where it wound up going, ha.

I loved a lot of things about it, but it got overwhelming.

(Mostly due to some prolific DW journals in various fic comms, and a few general tumblrs I follow that are also BTS fans.) But true story: I have NO idea what any of that is about, haha. It seems a bit more content than SPN was to just be its own thing, with a smaller range of things it crosses over with.
But SPN was truly inescapable.
I think I *could* have enjoyed SPN more than I did, but definitely wouldn't want to put the time investment in now, especially knowing how disappointing much of it was even for many of its devoted fans.

Seriously, though, it's nice to see some things not changing.
