But most of the online fanbase seems to be women and I almost feel like I'm disgracing their territory since becoming a little involved in the Twitter fandom. A lot of the fans are so extra so I'd caution to just choose your fellow fans carefully. Some can really go overboard with the shipping and tinfoil hat theories. But you can find some fans of your same wavelength. 6 minutes ago, Timmers said: I actually bought tickets to a con and for a photo op for August but I highly doubt it will be happening I wanted to buy tickets as well but it's so expensive. I really just want to say thank you to Jensen and Jared for being inspirational but I was advised that even that might be "heavy" for the boys, and fans should still be cautious in suddenly bringing up topics like depression and suicidal thoughts even if it is a positive story overall (since the actors meet so many fans and Jared himself is struggling with suicidal thoughts).

Who advised you on that? I just read "Family Don't End With Blood" and basically every story in there from fans about meet and greets were stories where they told them how much they've helped them get through stuff. I'm usually that fan, but tbh Supernatural hasn't saved me in any way. I'd probably want to thank Jared for being so open about his depression and anxiety though. His candor regarding his mental health is one of the reasons I love him. My name isn't Timmers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe starting with something like "Are you in an okay place yourself for me to get deep for a quick second?" would be good. A friend and I try to do that with each other because we never know when we're about to unload on one another while the other person is already dealing with a lot.

So did I. I was depressed and suicidal but surviving the crash made me feel like a true Winchester who escaped death. So I tattooed their tattoo in my chest to remind me I am a survivor and not to let the demons of depression in and possess me again. That's why this show means so much to me. Emulating Dean had also given me so much more confidence in life. Flyin' like a 1000 Doves Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emulating Dean had also given me so much more confidence in life. I totally understand. I've actually related to a lot of different situations in Buffy. Recently (about three weeks ago) my Grandfather died and I struggled a lot similar to The Body because I couldn't figure out the proper way to react. I related so much to many of their reactions, as I have with tons of other situations. So I get it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reasons like these are why I think Buffy and Supernatural are superior to other shows in the genre--they know how to do grounded emotions and use demons and monsters as metaphors. Even if it's fantasy or a niche premise, you can still get some very good relatable moments. Flyin' like a 1000 Doves Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
