maychorianEveryone seems to be weighing in on their opinions about the definite renewal of Supernatural for another season, so I feel sorta compelled to throw in my two cents.
I'm glad. Apparently in interviews it has been said that the Apocalypse will be dealt with this year, so next year will be different, and that's cool. My only problem would be that I didn't want them to drag this storyline out past its breaking point.
I love these characters and this world, and I'm not ready to let them go. I feel like I got into this big pile of wonderfulness late, since I started watching in the summer between seasons three and four. I am pleased that I will only have missed seeing half of it live, instead of three-fifths. Kind of a weird reason, but there it is.
My confidence in the show has been shaken lately, but I have no intentions to stop watching or stop being involved in fandom. I love Dean and I love Sam and I love Bobby and I love Castiel and I love all of the wonderful fic and art and vids and other awesome things that this fandom produces. My life would suck without you.
I'd be happiest if Castiel continued with us for another season, because I love him to teeny tiny little angely bits, but I'll understand if he doesn't. (Though I would hope for at least a guest spot now and then.) I don't want him to die. Nor Sam or Dean or Bobby, of course. Nor anyone else, really. I'm tired of people dying. I know that this desire is probably doomed to be dashed, but there it is. NO MORE DEATH. That's my preference, but I'll probably keep watching even if someone does die, because I'm that much in love with these characters.
I hope they introduce some awesome female characters and don't screw them over and don't kill them off. I really, really, really hope they do that. But even if they don't, I'll still keep watching, because that's how much I love SamnDeannBobbynCastiel.
I hope that we get some more coherent plots and interesting Monsters of the Week that add to the mythos without retconning it. I hope we get cool storylines with scary villains and heroic charges and smart!Dean and smart!Sam using their skills to save the world one family at a time. I hope that the Season 6 arc will be compelling without being over the top and that everyone will enjoy it. Even if I don't get my wish, I'll still keep watching, because I can't not.
I hope we get to see Sam and Dean regain their faith in each other, rebuild their trust, start being frantically worried about each other again whenever the other is in the slightest bit of danger, because that's lovely and wonderful and I love it. I hope we'll see more brother-touching and hugs and claps on the shoulders and fist bumps and all other expressions of manly affection. I hope Sammy will get choked and Dean will get thrown against walls and they'll always race to save each other. But even if their relationship continues to feel as choppy and uneven as it has through part of this season, I'll still keep watching, because that's how much I love these boys and their crazy, obsessed, screwed-up, over-dependent relationship with each other. And I'll do my best to fix it in fanfic.
I hope that the wank in this fandom dies down. I hope that we'll learn to respect each other and not bash other fans for having different opinions or favorite characters or ship preferences. I hope that the vastly awesome 90% will be able to drown out the shrill, bitchy 10% who enjoy stirring the shit. I hope that there will continue to be dozens of fantastic challenges and fic exchanges and rec communities and love memes and all of the other things that make this community awesome. Even if I don't get all of this, though, I'm still going to keep writing and reading and reccing and producing and loving, because I'm a fan and that's what I do.
It's going to be great. I really do believe that. It's going to be awesome, and we're going to enjoy ourselves, and things will be hunted and people will be saved, and IT'S ALL GOOD, BABY.
Here's to another fantastic season! ::clinks glasses with fandom at large::
