jensen ackles didn’t turn down the role of captain america, name his business after the show, dedicate his entire life to spn, find a reason to live through dean’s courage, overcome anxiety because of the fandom, and find his best friends from the show for the cw to treat him like garbage

Me to my student: You need to pare things down. Just, like, Marie Kondo this whole paragraph. Student, softly to herself: Does this clause spark joy??

Daniel Jackson (season 3): The Ancients are amazing and powerful, and we have much to learn of their technology and philosophy

Daniel Jackson (season 10): *throwing back a shot of whiskey* I’m telling you, the Ancients are assholes who could never clean up their own messes

I’ve been going through all of Stargate, from the movie through Universe. And I’ve come to a realization.

When you apply all the knowledge we’ve learned about the Goa'uld to the original movie, Ra’s trip to Abydos becomes hilarious.

What we’ve learned is we see goa'uld with ARMIES of jaffa, in chainmail and full armor. And commanding fleets of warships and fully capable deathgliders.

Meanwhile, Ra shows up to Abydos with one pyramid ship, and as far as we know just TWO deathgliders only capable of atmospheric flight, and no jaffa. Just, maybe a dozen human guards.

Not only that, they were basically in jaffa beachwear. Sandals, and white skimpy linens. And he brought all the kids. This was a vacation.

From Ra’s point of view, this was like driving the kids out for a day at the beach, then The Spanish Inquisition pops up, starts a riot, puts an atomic bomb in his car, and leaves.

Fandoms: a generalization

Supernatural: like 3 millimeters away from actual Satanism, having a GIF for everything is their only personality trait

Game of Thrones: will argue with everyone about who the best character is, hates season 8, thinks they’re edgy, wE’rE nOt LoTr it’s dArK fAnTaSy

Doctor Who: 70% just started watching from the tenth doctor, the crossover killed them, hates steven moffat

Sherlock: really gay, season 4 doesn’t exist, doesn’t know they’re not actually detectives, misspelling benedict cumberbatch’s name was cute in like 2014 but now it’s just old, hates steven moffat

Harry Potter: everyone was part of this Old Fandom™ at one point, there’s a Hogwarts AU for like every fandom out there. still really fucking loud, 2000s fanfic was the shit, pretty much laid the groundwork for fanfic sites in general

Percy Jackson: we get it you read it in middle school and now you think you have a diploma in Greek and Roman mythology, also can’t agree on what Percy’s Hogwarts house would be, generally just happy to be noticed

Merlin: the Hufflepuffs of fandoms, “he isn’t dead”, merthur is Very Gay

Marvel: in love with spidey and is now Very Concerned™, phase 3 killed them, they pray daily to their overlord kevin feige, nerds or normies there is no inbetween

DC: likes telling people they’re better than marvel, can finally brag about movies, pretty chill most of the time but just don’t mention marvel

Star Wars: can and will be angry at everything, talks about anything from the Expanded Universe, probably made/binged a 40-minute long video on TLJ at one point, is in a love/hate relationship with George Lucas

Lord of the Rings: yep, still around

Stranger Things: gets attached to the one (1) character who dies every season, in denial about hopper, in love with steve and dustin and joyce and eleven

The Umbrella Academy: where the fuck is season 2, nobody likes luther

Just let people stay sober! Don’t tell them they’re boring! Don’t tell them they’re stuck up! Don’t tell them they’re immature! Don’t question their decision! Don’t pressure them to “just have one drink”! Don’t mock them! Just let people who want to stay sober stay sober!

beware

there need to be more shows like Eureka… there’s an absence of good, witty scifi shows that actually focus on science. D:
