Blood will Flow

Sounds like a potential spin off, don't it?

Anyhow, as requested by cmadebyme_x, here's what I remember of my entry into the wonderful world of Supernatural.

This is my antidote to sadness.

I know this will be shared everywhere but I'm sticking it here for posterity.

Echoing dizzojay - what a wonderful little get together in London we had today!

Thank you herminekurotowa for the fabulous Dean shoulder bag - I still can't believe it's handmade, you should sell these on Etsy if you aren't already doing so. Even my hubby was really impressed!

Hopefully we will be able to do something like this again - it was really great to meet big_heart_june, alexisjane, deceptivemirror, andiivalo, deanshot, the_rant_girl and riyku in person! So sad jj1564 didn't make it after all, and that milly_gal couldn't come. Next time, ladies, next time!

Reading some of my lovely flisties comments about how hurt they have been by dreamweaver37 deception, or how they are feeling foolish for giving him their trust - I think there is something very important you should all bear in mind.

Don't feel bad! We all believed him (or wanted to). The only reason I had any doubts was down to having been taken in before by that micamonroe (who apparently is tragically dead according to his still live LJ). When that happened I looked up this syndrome and it is a thing - people often have multiple online identities (though how the hell they keep up with them all I have no idea) and can even use one ID to reinforce the others. Mostly they are harmless but sometimes theycan be malicious - like that woman on Twitter who has a serious personality disorder and has threatened people in real life (my friend Dave being one).

In this case, I think dreamweaver wasn't malicious, he/she was just looking for attention/reinforcement, maybe a feeling of importance? Who knows.

Whatever the reason, please don't feel bad about this - Think of it this way - any emotional investment we had in this person's story was still real because we genuinely thought here was someone who was doing good things that merited our support. The fact that these things may not have been real doesn't negate our sympathy or empathy or any words of support we might have spoken. The fact that the recipient didn't deserve it doesn't mean our actions were worthless. Our own goodness and thoughtfulness in putting together messages of love doesn't change, neither does the intent behind the messages. So his child wasn't real and we mourned - we've mourned fictional characters before and it's good to feel. Human beings need to feel.

We are still good people who had good thoughts and tried to do good things. That is a truth that his lies cannot change.

And don't let it stop you being kind in future. It's a small risk we take that has a huge impact. Loving someone is always a risk - we can't really get hurt if we don't love.

Um, I'll stop moralising now LOL

To all my US flisties celebrating today - hope you are still enjoying your independence! Are you sure you don't want the Queen back? I'd happily send her over... LOL

Hearing Jensen at both A14 and JIB talking about how much he now appreciates the love in fandom, and witnessing how much difference it makes to his behaviour (OMG, the hugs and smiles he was giving out, and all the dancing and singing...it was phenomenal) - I really want to give him somethig back. So boost the signal, share the love!

Hello my lovelies, it's feel the lurve time. As part of selenic76's Fandom Love Fest...
Until this morning I still wasn't sure what I was going to do to celebrate Fandom today but then I found a couple of things in my inbox and thought - yup. That there is two good reasons to love Fandom, I'm sure I can come up with eight more. So here we go
