whitereflectionThe yay is that we got heroic 10m Putricide in WoW last night. It really is a cool thing, and the result of a lot of work. Only two more achievements left for the 10man drakes (heroic Sindrigosa and the Waited A Long Time For This one).
Really, really down today. A moodswing from being up/manic/productive last week, I guess. And I'm worried about one of my cats--Missy (aka cat 3 of 4), the maine coon. What we thought was a mat of fur is an about third inch growth on her skin, and I'm going to have to get her to the vet. Don't know if it's something that's infected/inflamed, or if it's a tumor of some sort.
But also, fandom is just...making me sad right now. I thought it was bad enough to see/hear about such hate for my favorite character, but to know how people are being to each other now...it's just really disheartening. I do not understand the meanness, the hurtfulness, even the swearing at each other. I just don't comprehend it. Aren't we in this for a common love of this show and it's characters? Even if you don't like all of the characters or parts of the show, don't people know how to be respectful and considerate of others, to know that something you say horrible things about might be something that someone else likes or even loves?
I guess for me...well, I'll put it simply. I like Sam Winchester. I like Jared Padalecki. I like fanworks, whether they be gen or slash or even RPF/RPS. I like Supernatural--and I will, I am pretty damned sure, continue to like it. But most of all, most importantly, I like you. There's a reason I friended you all, and there's a reason I keep you as friends and hope you keep me as well. I greatly appreciate that I can share in your lives in these small ways, and share in this common love of the show Supernatural, its characters, and cast/crew.
Please, just be excellent to each other?
Anyway. Stuff I have to do first, but what I want to do is find feel-good, uplifting, hopeful fic and just hide and wallow. Though I also kind of want to see if I have a DVD of Bill & Ted, and watch it and try to get rid of this stupid urge to cry I've had since waking up. I'm too old to be like this--I'm 37 not 17.

Date: 2010-09-27 06:00 pm (UTC)The premiere didn't really do it for me, but there were things I loved and besides, it's Show! Why the hell watch something/participate in fandom if you're just going to shit all over it in the end? All I can say is that there are some really unhappy people out there who feel the need to share (misery loves company and all that). Someone should take their internet away or lock them all up in a room together. Hehe, that would end well.
Please, just be excellent to each other?
A perfect sentiment ♥
Btw, so sorry you're feeling down again. I've been up and down with my moods lately as well. The other day my mother so lovingly suggested it was pre-menopause (I'm 35!). I don't know how that's supposed to make you feel better, except to be thankful you don't have a mother that's as helpful to getting rid of said bad mood as mine.
*hugs*
